The Democrats, one the other hand, with loos ss-knit lumber ing organization let opportunity after opportunity slip through their fingers. That Roosevelt was reelected was no thanks to the Democratic committee.
 The other deduction from the Early incid mt is the doubt rais ed in the minds of a lot of pol it.cians as to whether it pays to woo the negro vote except dur ing the month before elections. They point to the fact that Mrs. Roosevelt signed from the D.. A. R. in order to champion Mar ian Anderson, that Roosevelt has given more relief and jobs to the negro than any previous President - all of which may have been forgotten over one short scuffle on a station plat form.

The Washington Merry-Co-Round
By Drew Pearson and Robert 5. Allen

WASHINGTON = The recent election will go down in history as one of the most bitter in the past 80 years. Only the cam paigns which reelected Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and Woodrow Wilson in 1916 can compare with it for intense feeling.
 Passions have flared, tempers have been close to the surface. There has also bsen a more wig orous and sometimes scorching scrutiny of the issues and the candidates than in any other re- cent election.
 In fact, some diplomats who have spent recent years in Flu rope say that this election is com parable to those in France which saw the rise and fall of the Pop ular Front government.
 Real test of this election is going to be whether the elsctor- ate can forget the partisanship and settle down to a reasonable degree of unity. That, in fact, will be the real test of democ- racy.
 The next few months are like y to be a period of political cross-fring. If the American peo pie can risa above it, then democ racy will be safe. It will be a se- we're test.

President of the United States, and woke up to find that because he had walked through a picket line in California, that state - and the election had turned against him.
 This year a freak incident might conceivab.y have tipped the balance in so close a race to Wendell Willkie. Such an incl d mt occurred when Steve Early, White House Secretary in charge of press relations, tangled with negro policeman in New York.
 Early was trying to get to the Presidents train, and was provid ing interference through the DO lice lines for Mrs. Morgenthau, Mss LeHand and various mem bers of the White House secre- tariat, when three policemen, two Whitsand one colored, stop ped him. He indulged in show ing bout with all three, but the colored cop had been operated on for a hernia and was injured.
 NeWSpapermen on the train, some of whom have roWed wig orously with Steve, all agreed that this time he was right. However the details of the case were unimportant.
 Word immediately was flashed through Harlan and the negro districts of Chicago that Roose- velt's secretary had kicked a col ored policeman. Francis Rivers, Director of the Colored Division of the Republican National Com mttee was first to see the polite al importance of the situation. But close behind him was John ny Hanes, ex-Under Secretary of the Treasury, but still treasurer of the Hampton Institute for Ne groes.
 Johnny comes from North Caro- ina and the land of Jim Crow, but he got busy with some of the Hampton leaders to fan the flames in the big cities of the North where the colored vote sometimes holds the balance of pow r.

EDITORIAL
UNCLE SAM FOOTS THE BILL

International postal regula- tions have placed the United States in the ironic position of delivering free of charge tons of propaganda designed to under mine the American form of gov ernm mt. Because of rules laid down by the International Postal Union. Hitler is able 10 ship un- told thousands of booklets and pamphlets into this country and force the United States postal authorities to distribute them for him free.
 The method ussd is simple. Un der existing regulations, the coun try of original transmission re- tains the fees for delivery, and the country where international mail is finally distributed makes the delivery free of charge. So the Nazi government merely turns out the required stamps, attach wishes to distribute in America es them to any propaganda 1t and starts 1t on the journey to this country. Uncle Sam handles the mail free once it gets to Am erica.
 Even the war has not handi- capped the process. Hitler ships his subversive propaganda by way of Russia, and though 1t IS a slower process than by the At lantic, it eventually reaches it's destination.
 The German propaganda min istry has compiled a huge mail ing list of Communications living in the United States. Each one on the list is subjected to a constant bombardment of propag anda printed in both English and German. Many receive bundles of 50 or mors for distribution among Americans who are not on the regular mailing list.
 The system is so designed that few German-Americans can get away from constant reminders that they are of German eXtrac- tion and should r-main loyal to the Nazi form of government. Be cause there is no American cen sership, much of the material contains attacks against the Presi dent, the United States system of gov=rnment, the American press, capital, the Jews and other gz5ups and the United States foots the distribution bill.
 Let us not forget that Hitler once said: America is perman- ently on the brink of revolution. It will be a simplz matter for me to produce unrest and revolts in the United States so that these gentry will have their hands full with their own affairs Perhaps >ae banked upon the prot cting influence of the International Postal Union to help him foment this revolution and unrest.

OF course these patterns have all
the successful ingredients; they are
timely, they are smart, they are easy
to make, and each represents an
important spring type. Add the in
viting spice Of variety. and they have
double usefulness. Thus by vary
ing and repeating them you can add
to the savings you check up for
yourself, always, when you sew your
own at home. You'll find lot more
two-way patterns, equally attractive
and practical, in our new Spring
and Summer Fashion Book. Why
not send for it, too. when you order
your patterns? Each of these, of
course, includes a step-by step sew
chart as well as complete directions.
Obviously, to get frock and a
coat both in one inexpensive pattern
Is good deal. isn't it? That's what
you have in 1919-B. Both the dress
and the coat may be worn separately,
although they go together like ice
cream and cake. The best of it is
that the dress and coat are cut sim
ilarly, and can be made, in the main,
the same way. Both have a narrow,
becoming waistline, wide shoulders
and flaring skirt. The coat is COL
larless, and the revers of the dress
turn back over the plain neckline.
This design makes up especially well
with a print silk dress and wool
crepe coat in plain color; spun rayon,
thin tweed and fiat crepe are smart
one color suggestions for it.
Here's an idea for smart young
things who like to create many
changes by wearing their dark frocks
and separate skirts with different,
colorful little jackets. Pattern No.
1923 includes a plain round -edged
bolero that can be made up in MORE,
fiat crepe or taffeta for evening, as
we'll as in wool crepe or flannel for
daytime. It will be charming this
summer in cottons and dazzling
white sharkskin. The fitted jacket,
with two flap pockets and a dart
fitted waistline, is strictly for sports
and daytime. Choose colorful tweed
for this-that's really the smartest.
Flannel, wool crepe and boucle are
other possibilities.
How will your small daughter have
hers-in printed percale or batiste
