Here's t.vw JIttrry the silence of President Roosevelt about his third-term plans has made the state politicians: In 21 states, the dates for the Demo- cratic state conventions have not even been set, although it's nearing the point when you cant count the weeks to the national convention on your fingers.
 Out of the p states in which dates have been set, there are Is in which the dates are set by law. In other words, in only 12 states have the Democrats had courage even to plan their conventions without knowing what the President is going to do. The point is, you can't climb on a bandwagon until you see one. And what state politicians fear most is getting on the wrong cart.

Table Discussion

The Jewish Mems Club, which
is headed by Harry Broida, spon-
sored round table discussion
Tuesday ME hit on the subject
"How can America best combat
totalitarianism ?" The meeting
held at the Jacksonville Jewish
Center was open to the general
public and was attended by a
large audience of both Jews and
Gentiles.
DR.. Chesley L. Bowden, pastor
of the Riverside Baptist Church,
Nathan ]. Roberts, Harold Coin,
and DR.. Joseph Weinreb discussed
the question. Nat Shorstein pre-
sided.
DR.. Bowden expressed his be-
lief that the American flag, with
its pledge of allegiance which en-
phasized liberty and justice for
all, was synonymous with the
spirit of the Constitution, and
anyone preaching race hatred or
attempting to stir up religious
prejudices was violating the spirit
of Americanism and encouraging
totalitarianism.
Mr.. Roberts asked the other
members whether any anti-Jewish
newspaper which sought to break
down these principles of democ-
racy should enjoy the privilege of
free press in order to destroy the

 It is a practical and, in the long run, economical idea for every wo- man to have a corset wardrobe. This simply means choosing foundation garments as she does dresses or suits-with an eye to suitability.
 For instance, the smart lover of the shirtwaist type of dress wouldn't dream of buying six cot ton shirtwaist dresses to wear at every hour of the day throughout @ season.
 She buys perhaps two cotton shirtwaists for morning or for golf or for country week-ends, probably two simple silk ones for luncheons, shopping or general, casual after noon wear and, of course, two much more dressy types for dress-up oc- caSiorS.
 Because she is chic and practical, too, she has at least one sturdy, although light and comfortable foundation garment to wear under the morning dress. It might be a pant1e-glrdle. Anyway, It allows her plenty of freedom for bending over to dust under a chair or to reach the top shelf of the linen closet, yet 1t does support her figure properly. EVEN CRADLES NEED VACATIONS rv
 For afternoon and semi-formal day functions, she has some kind of girdle or all-in-one that may not allow for quite as much vigorous bending and stretching but which is essentially comfortable. It probably is little prettier than the morning garment.
 For evening, she has a fine cor set in which she can dance with out getting tired and go on to have scrambled eggs at four in the fnorn- ing without wishing to goodness she could go home and take off her gir- dle. y5 f.
 Her corset wardrobe is perfect if she can have two foundations of the first type mentioned, two

SOME PEOPLE THINK co
 MEANS COME ON

In any ordinary sized bathroom states Prof. Rosenau in his famous textbook Preventive Medicine anc Hygiene" Appleton Century, ar instantaneous gas heater may gen. crate enough carbon monoxide ir fifteen minutes to asphyxiate the bather.
 At that, why should any one stay that long in bathroom unless he is hiding from somebody? As a hygienist heartily approve of the custom of singing in the bath. It treasures sane members of the household that you're still alive.
 Considerable carbon monoXide may form when an accumulation of soot becomes incandescent. In one instance cited by Rosenau co from water heater collected in such concentration in kitchenette that three persons were overcome and died soon after they entered.
 Illuminating gas contains from 69o (made from coaD to 30% wa ter gas) of carbon monoxide. Of course artificial gas contains also other gases which impart more or less odor. But carbon monoxide is odorless and when generated by a sooted burner 1t may give no warn ing of its presence in the air. For every country yokel who blew out the gas in the old Homestead era there are pipbably a thousand city hicks who believe a gas heater is safe if 1t gives off no unpleasant odor. .., '.t}'.
 Not only gas burners or stoves but any fuel burned without 8 free supply of air may give off carbon monoxide. Painters and other per- ons have been overcome by the monoXide given off by open char coal burners used to hasten drying of paint, plaster etc. in cold or damp weather.
 Ten parts of carbon monoxide in ten thousand parts of air, if breath ed fo ran hour or so will cause headache and other symptoms; twenty parts in ten thouand, breathed for few moments, would be dangerous. In any circumstance the effects of breathing air polluted with carbon monoXide depends on the concentration of the gas in the air and upon the condition of the inindividual - size, age, state of health, muscular exertion, rapidity of breathing. The carbon monoxide itself 1t not at all poisonous, that is, 1t does not damage or destroy tissues or cells as a poison would, but simply crowds oxygen out, as 1t were, by combining with the oxygen carrying hemoglobin in the blood for which monoxide has a strong affinity. So the effects of carbon monoxide gassing, whether a slight one from which recovery is immediate, a chronic condition uerhapS not recignized by the victim or fatal gassing, are due from first to last to asphyxia, lack of oxygen, anoxemia, anoxia. To the best of our present knowledge the effects of carbon monoxide gassing are in all respects identical with the ef- fects of mountain sickness or the anoxia of flying at great altitude.
 A constant adequate supply of oxygen to the functioning cells thru the blood is essential, and when it is seriously reduced for a time
