body Lord but Dewey" That they
are afraid of this David and his
slingshot is attested by Secretary
Ickes, the New Deals tearer-downer.
His best shafts are aimed at Dewey
for throwing his diaper into the
ring as he terms it, Such cracks by
Ickes suggest to some that he's
afraid of Dewey; to others that this
is Ickes' way of boasting about the
fact that he begat a son at 65. Any
man who can do that is apt to be
a bit scornful of a man of only 81.
And being himself and feeling scorn-
full, Harold Ickes opens his spleen
ducts and erupts.

MARYLAND TOO MODEST ABOUT
HER ACHIEVEMENT

Maryland has been far too modest
with regard to her place and her
performances in the history of our
Nation, declared Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor, in connection with Mary
land Day observance at Westminster
several days ago. "Other states, he
declared, notably Massachusetts
and Virginia for generations have
seen to it that the story Of their
achievements have been fully told
and emphasized. In Maryland, how
ever, our children have not always
been fully taught as to the part their
native state played in the history
of their country. 1t was to- correct
somewhat this failure that Maryland
Day was instituted and that Mary
land Day celebrations are held.
As instances, he compared the
Boston Tea Party to the Burning of
the Peggy Stewart; constrasted Paul
Revere's Ride to the equally import
amt, but much less known ride OF
Colonel Tench Tilghman, and added
that the time has yet to come when
the full significance of the Battle
of Long Island, and how the Mary
land Line saved Washington's Army
and the future Republic, shall be
fully told.
Reviewing the achievements of
Maryland's sons in the Council
Chamber, the Convention Hall, the
battle field, on the sea, and in the
realms of spiritual expression, Gov
ernor O'Conor voiced the opinion
that from the very beginning the
participation of Maryland in the
country's advancement entitled her
to an historical recognition such as
she has never fully achieved.

Home Hardware

The character Of the house as well
as the coloring and finish of the
woodwork should be carefully con-
sidered in selecting hardware for the
home. A hardware design suited to
a home of elaborate architectural
style is out of place in an informal
home of simple lines. Straight-for-
ward, unpretentious design is best
for the small house. Since the hard
ware of home gets plenty of usage,
good quality here is of more impor-
lance than in some other features.
Frequently the substitution of new
hardware for old will do much to
liven up the appearance of the en-
tire house.

Hitler has been talking "blitz-
krieg'' so long without acting, that
some observers have become con-
WINGED it is mainly bluff. On the
other side of the fence are those who
remain convinced that Germany will
shoot her bolt before long-that she
must, it being her only chance. OBJ
jective would be to destroy Allied
docks, power plants, transportation,
warehouses. as we'll as munitions
depots and air fields.
In the meantime, more and more
are saying that no one will or can
win this war-that it will prove a
disastrous stalemate for all concern
ed. Hitler himself has said that In
modern war there can be no winners
only losers. And in that opinion
he is Joined by thinking people in
all countries of the world.

ANSWERING THE CENSUS

When the census enumeration
comes to your door his 81 questions
can be over in fiat IL or IL min
utes. providing you have the answers
on the tip of your tongue, and don't
chat too long on the weather and the
Administration in Washington.
The census taker will ask the
value of your home. He wants to
know the assessed valuation, not
what you paid or would like to get
for it. Your tax bill gives this in
formation.
You will be asked whether your
house is mortaged, and the amount
still due, and how the payments are
made, which is to say, bi-weekly,
monthly, quarterly or yearly.
If your house is rented, he will
ask the monthly rental.
II the head of the family has been
employed only part time, those an
swering the census will need to
know the number of hours he work
ed during the week of March "a to
80, 1910.
If the family's wage Garner was
employed on some emergency Gov
ernmental work. such as the WPA,
during that same week in March, the
enumerator will want to know it.
If total unemployed, the enumer-
ator will want to know for how
many weeks up to March 80, 1910,
or how many full time weeks were
put in during 1889.
Then will follow the questions
over which the controversary has
ragged The enumeration will blandy
ask your income. How much in
money wages, or salary, was received
during the year. This amount should
include commissions. The term
money wages is used to disting-
uish between actual cash and other
considerations, for example, board
and room. If your income is above
$4,000 year, you need only say so,
and not give the actual amount.
The second income question ex-
plores your other receipts, but not
it's amount. 1t, simply asks whether
you received more than $50 during
1889 from sources other than sal
airy, for example, from interest on
stocks or bonds The answers is
merely Eyes" or mo
In supplementary questions you
will be asked whether the household
wage Garner has a social security
number, and whether he has contri-
buted to the Federal OldAge fund,
or to- "a railroad retirement fund in
1889. The amounts are not sought,
just Eyes" or mo"
Enumerators were chosen from the
unemployed and have been instruct
ed to be friendly and helpful They
are sworn to absolute secrecy and
subject to a heavy fine. 1t is even
against the law for anybody to peek
over his shoulder.
But if you do not wish to give
you answer to income questions to
the enumeration, or do not have the
facts available when he calls, you
may ask for preliminary sched-
ule' which may be sent in later.
The questions MUST be answered,
however, and sent in or you will be
subject to 500 fine and 60 day in
jail. Giving misinformation is sub
ject to $500 fine.
However, the law stipulates that
census information can not be used
for taxation or other purposes.
A complete accurate census for
1910 is vital. This is not a partisan
matter but one of deep concern to
American men and women of all
parties

Who will Be The Next President?


The worlds most interesting and
important political activity, Presi-
dent-making, now claims the atten-
ton of every citizen. Who will be
nominated by either major party
cannot yet be said, but almost every
one has opinions on the subject.
Roosevelt and Dewey have the great
est popular following; Roosevelt and
Taft the great political machine sup
port.
Although the President has not
yet announced his candidacy almost
everyone comedies that he can have
the Democratic party nomination if
he wants to go after it. And If he
does the candidates. of Hull, Garner,
Farley, jackson and McNutt may
fade and disappear. Whether or not
the President will run again no one
knows, and perhaps least of all the
President himself. Only the gods
running the European war are quail
flied to guess it. But Hatch law or
not, and Farley dissatisfaction or
not, he can nominate himself if he
decides he wants the job. Whether
or not he could be reelected is an
other question, especially if the Re-
politicians nominate Dewey.
Dewey's nomination is not assur-
ed, however, and will not be until
the outcome of the primary contests
is known; first Wisconsin, next in
Nebraska; with others following in
different states. The two most inn
portant contests, however, are the
ones in Wisconsin and Nebraska
where Dewey and Vandenberg have
fought it out. If Dewey wins both of
these Vandenberg will fade out of
the picture and Dewey will breeze
into the nomination on the second

UNCLE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MAKER
BY ]. e. Jones

Monopolies are not an original
discovery, but the inclusion of the
medical profession, labor unions,
trade associations, and the patent
system in the new programs and
policies of the Federal Government
to control all trusts, has turned the
Sherman Antitrust Law that was
approved July 2, 1900, inside-out
and upside-down.
The sugar trust stirred up a
scandal 1894 with efforts to put
over some raw deals. In 1901 the
steel companies formed huge trust.
In 1902 the United State Supreme
Court declared the antitrust law
of Illinois to be unconstitutional,
and the decision affected similar
laws in Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana,
Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Ne
braska, North Carolina, South Da-
kota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wis
consin.
While the Sherman Antitrust Law
has been held as club over mo-
nopolies through the years it has us
ually failed to reach the roots of
| troubles.
The Federal Government assumed
power few years ago and set-up
| a great division in the Department
of Justice to prosecute everything
that resembled monopoly-or
smelled like one. The Supreme Court
agrees in a board way with prose-
cutors who have brought up ques-
tics of monopolies in recent months.
In the spotlight is the Temper
airy National Economic Committee
| which is now taking life insurance
companies, the patent system and a
lot of other nice folks for a ride.
Congress has been broadening the
powers of Administrative branches
of the Government by enforcement
of the Robinson-Patman Act of 1896
which establishes principles for mer-
chandising intended to regulate
competition, discounts, rebates ad-
vertising, price fixing and other fear
lures of business-all sidecar for
the monopoly train.
Still another measure that is pend
ing in Congress will make it neces-
sary for every corporation to take
out a license from the Federal Gov
eminent if it proposes to do an in
terstate business.
The United States Congress does
not seem to get excited about all
these changes in methods Of life for
the American people. The history of
recent years, including the present
session of Congress, shows the Sena-
tors and Representatives approving
these various measures and establ-
ished single Federal authority that
lessons the usefulness and force of
local f-governments, as many
weaker states surrender about all
their rights and powers to Washing
ton, as circumstances compel them
to ask for Federal aids and benefits.

Autos Silence Is Important

One of the most appealing features
of a new car is its silence. Keeping
it noiseless is matter of correct
maintenance right. from the start for
it is fact that body bolts are in
clined to loosen most rapidly when
the car is new. They should be tight
ened at the end of the first 500 miles
and again at $500. The task re-
quires but a few minutes and costs
little enough to justify having it
done.

was gowned in white mousseline de
sole with a slight train, and wore
a coronet Of lilies of the valley, and
carried a bouquet of the same how-
ers. Her sister, Miss Una Browning,
was her only attendant, wearing a
costume of turquoise blue and car
rying sweet peas.
Best man for Mr.. Browning was
Mr.. Charles L. Coltman of WASH
ington.
Only the families and few close
friends attended the reception in
the home of the bride. The couple
departed soon after for a wedding
trip, Mrs. Whitman wearing blue
with dusty pink accessories.
Both the bride and bridegroom
are residents of the District, and
attended George Washington Uni
versity. Mr.. Browning was graduated
this June from the Harvard Law
School.
Upon their return they will be at
home at 1920 r street in Georgetown.
