If Thomas E. Dewey is elected to the Presidency
in 1910, the White House will have small children
living in it for the first time since Teddy Roosevelt's
famous family romped through its famous halls
and rooms in 1912.
The Michigan-born district attorney, who is the
Republican party's outstanding candidate for nomi-
nation for president, and his Texas-born wife,
Frances HUT Dewey, are bringing up their two
small sons, Thomas Edmund, Jr, 7, and John Mar
tin, 4, in sturdy, commonsense fashion.
For one thing, the children spend late spring,
summer and early fall months on a farm, doing
small chores around the place. Both parents believe
so firmly in the necessity of country life for the
health of their children's minds and bodies, that
they recently purchased a farm at Pawling, N. Y.
Dewey, born and reared in a small town, and
used to fassa. work as a youth, put all his savings
into the acres in Duchess County, NewsYesks 90,
that his boys could grow up in the same healthy,
normal way he did in Michigan.
The Dewey place is no show place, nor country
estate. 1t is a practical, working dairy farm with
pure bred cows. Dewey expects to raise many pro-
ducts there when the recently acquired land is ready
for intensive cultivation. :

"This statement" said Cochran,
comes from a man who, when he
was in congress, generally took the
diametrical opposite of the views
held by Mr.. Burke"
Lauds Farm Aid
Devoting a principal part of his
talk to agricultural matters, the
governor said that in the Column
bus area, where the drouth has
extended over a six-year period,
many farmers have been enabled
to stay on their farms through
federal assistance.
Cochran said he had been in
formed there was not sufficient
money available to take care of
farm security loans. "The money
is not available" he said, because
congress defeated an attempt to
restore an appropriation of from
$50 million dollars to 875 million
dollars and Burke assisted in kill
ing it."
After the meeting a delegation
of WPA workers called on Coch-
ran to tell him that 125 men had
been laid off here and to ask his
help in securing additional funds
to put them back to work. Cochran
told them Burke also had voted
against a motion to make more
money available. The governor
promised to investigate the situa-
ton.
Cochran, left for Lincoln after
the meeting, which practically
wound up his outstate campaign.
He expects to be in Omaha Sun
day for the South Side housing
project dedication and to spend
most of the coming week there.
Cochran devoted most of Satur-
day to a tour of Saunders, Butler
and Polk counties, making calls
at Wahoo, David City, Shelby and

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April l2.-- Plump and pretty Marian Phillips, I9-year-old University of Michigan student who a year ago listed 83 reasons why she disliked men, is married woman now.
 Relatives made known today that she and Einar Almdale Jr., P, had eloped to Toledo March 21.
 Among her reasons for being a man -hater" had been these:
 "They are all too thin before they're 30, then all at once they become too fat; never in Gods world have they been known to use an ash tray if there's rug handy; they think you aren't a lady if you can't hold your liquor, and. if you can, they still think you aren't

Hotel Men in New York Turn Pale When h.
 tident Is Reported
By GEORGE TUCKER


 ,sn't very pleasant theme. I sup pose one could complain that it is entirely uncalled for. I will not hold it against you if, after few paragraphs, you turn elsewhere Some people do not care to read bout unpleasant subjects. But this ; real, if minor, part of New York life, and I should be less han honest if l omitted it.
 This is about Jumpers. Do you know what Jumper is? If you walk up to any New York hotel man and say, There's just been Jumper he will turn pale.
 A Jumper is one who ends his life by jumping from a hotel win dow.
 There are sometimes five or six Jumpers in single week in New York. But if this seems high, con- slider that they were only five or six out of seven millions.
 Hotels in this town have Jumper squads. They have special Jumper equipment. The news of a Jumper is bad news indeed for any hotel. It hurts business. Many people will not stay in a hotel where some headline figure recently has ended his life. Yet suicide is news; and news must find it's way into the newspapers.
 The hotel people minimize this news as best they can. The news papers govern themselves by the newsworthiness of the name.
 Jumper equipment consists of a large canvas cloth, usually eight by eight. A Jumper is not very pretty spectacle, after he has jumped. The moment the alarm IS given one squad hurries outside to cover the remains and keep the crowd moving. Most Broadway cops are old hands at Jumper situations. They know all the hotel people by sight A word or a nod is suffi- cient
 While the ground squad is thus occupied, another begins a swift, systematic search of the hotel. The room from which the acci- dent occurred, and the identity of the Jumper, must be ascertained at once.
 Usually, this requires only few moments. Jumpers almost in- variably are people who have reg istered alone, in single rooms, and nine of ten are women. The first move is to check these guests, then go to those rooms. A careful search of these rooms is made. Frequently farewell notes are in evidence, directing that nearest of kin be advised. When there are no notes, no identifying clues, the work is turned over to the police.
 Frequently old letters, or bits of
 
 paper with names written on them, are found. When possible, these names are identified and turned over to the cops. The police send out call for these people.
 Only seven of ten Jumpers leave notes, and only in. three cases of seven are these notes CO., herent, or even complete. Five of seven notes give only first name -. The suicide dockets of the police archives list scores Of mo- tives, but with Jumpers, unhappy love affairs are the dominant theme

MORE TROUBLE
 He did have little trouble later on when they were building a wooden bridge across City Island Pop wanted to run his horse-car line across there. They wouldn't stand for it. So one night, after the bridge was finished, Pop got a mixed gang of his Italian and Irish voters together and between midnight and dawn they laid those rails across that bridge.
 The next morning Old Dobbin was pulling the car across the bridge and the car was met with an armed force Pop was on board and waving his umbrella. He just gfinned when the car was stopped and he shouted: Gentlemen, if you want to hold up the United States mail, you'll have to take the consequences And right in their faces, he waved a full gov ernment mail pouch.
 How Pop ever got the United States government to throw in with him on that, I don't know, but that horse ear carried U. s. mail as long as the opposition could remember
