A Welcome Disenchantment

Tn the last days of the political cam paign, when truth and reason were look ing decidedly groggy, we came upon two advertisements which renewed our hopes for the survival of those eStimable v1r- tues. Turning back to those ads today, now that the hurly-burly'S done, we still find them encouraging enough to pass along as a preview of a possible better world to come.
 One ad was put out by an aircraft manufacturer, the other by maker of shaving cream. And both approached their subject with a candor which copy writers commonly shun, apparently on the assumption that such an approach iS too true Co be good. The aircraft con- cern is talking about the helicopter, which it plans to make after the war. Now the helicopter, as everyone knows, has had a tremendous buildup as the air flivver of the future = one smart New York shop has even had "helicopter fashion show" But here is the gist of what one of its future manufacturers has to say: Flying helicopter is not job for a novice. .. Helicopters, if they could be purchased on the market today, would be more expensive than the most costly automobile. HelicopterS are likely to be costly for some time to come. It has not yet been demonstrated that heli- copter is any more safe or less safe than any other aircraft"
 The shaving cream people went about Belling their wares by stating painful truth which has too long been avoided. The word pleasure" they said, ssshouldn't even be mentioned in the same hreath with shaving the whole buSi- ness, we say, is at best nuisance and bore" Such talk can scarcely fail to have healthy effect upon our civilization. Think. for instance, of the sadness and s0nfusion that must have resulted already kOm the unnatural association of shaving and pleasure.

Vice President Wallace OuSted for renomination, but went down the line as noted above.
 NOTE: Meanwhile, others around the President who have received tremendous personal recognition did little or nothing. Jesse Jones made only one speech near the tail-end of the campaign. Jim Forrestal, picked up by FDR from Wall Street and catapulted into the all-important job of Secretary of the Navy, made no speeches. Secretary of War Stimson wouldn't even say how he was going to vote.
 WHAT ROOSEVELT OWES US
 One of those who worked hard for Roosevelt behind the scenes remarked after it was all over:
 Eve gone down the line in 1886, in 1940 and in 1924. This time I want to be paid off. And I want just one thing" he con- tinued. "I want Roosevelt to begin now to build up some real men capable of taking over his mantle. He owes that to us by this time.
 "AlsO, I want to see 8 strong Liberal l-Democratic-Re- publican organization built up which can really take over the job Of winning the peace. Roosevelt owes us that too. That's the only pay I want, but I think and a lot of others are entitled to it."

MONKEYTNG WITH BLOOD
 PRESSURE


 Mrs. W. informs me she has been taking garlic pills for her high blood pressure, but the pills are sd
 There is a lot of high blood pressure about the country, too. and from the queries about it in the daily mail I infer that 9 great deal of it is sadly neglected or maltreated, as in the case o1 Mrs. w.
 I am taking the lady's hign blooO pressure too high. In many in. stances wiseacres assume the blood pressure is too high when in fact the blood pressure is not higher than it should be or must be to maintain good circulation.
 It is difficult to comprehend why so many people believe garlic or something made from it has some influence upon the pressure of ths blood in the arteries. Can 1t be ascribed to the power of suggestion the fact that nostrums contain ing garlic or garlic derivative are exploited as remedies for high blood pressure?
 Even if garlic or anything else were specific cure or remedy for high blood pressure, and a dose or months medication with it would bring high blood pressure down to normal, the wisdom or safety of using such 8 remedy world still be questionable.
 Blood pressure is what makes the blood circulate. It is comparable with the water pressure in the municipal water supply = the nor nal pressure is sufficient for all ordinary requirements, but in some emergencies fire engine may be necessary to increase the water pressure and get the water to where it is needed. Just so, 1t is some times necessary to increase blood pressure to get the blood through in sufficient amount to where it is needed.
 Momentary or sudden increase in blood pressure occurs under emo- tional excitement-nature's way of preparing the individual for fight or flight, as circumstance may re- quire. This change in blood pres sure occurs, be it noted, whether the individual actually does fight or run away or just strives to restrain the impulse and preserve decorum.
 Besides repressed or unexpressed emotions, probably the abuse of tea, coffee and tobacco-I say the abuse of these things = contributes to the development of pathological conditions of which increased blood pressure is one manifestation. If you would learn more about this consult CVD, booklet about heart and artery wearing out, available on request (no clipping) if you inclose ten cents and stamped self addressed envelope.
 The sensible thing to do about high blood pressure is to leave it to your doctor to deal with it-as you would high temperature or elevation of pulse rate, wouldn't you?

BUZZ BOMBS OVER HERE?
(New York Herald -Tribune)

Our domestic wars being ended, just as we were about to relapse into our normal complacency as to battles abroad, and the belief that they can affect us only remotely, the Army and Navy issue a joint statement which is disquieting. "The questioning has been raised by the press" 1t says, noting continuance of robot attacks on Great Britain, ''as to the possibility of similar at- tacks on the continental United States.

proved, however, some very definite beliefs of the American electorate:
 The majority of the people are not scared of Communism, yet.
 The majority of the people are not scared of Dictatorhsip or one- man government, yet.
 The trend" against Roosevelt, which was counted on so heavily by the Republicans, proved to be myth and was thrown in complete reverse.
 The majority of the people do not believe in swapping horses, etc. 'UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG"
 The New Deal is not dead. The President himself revied it, mention ing it by name several times during the campaign although, he had pre- viously tried to replace ''Dr. New Deal" with "Dr. Win the War"
 The majority of the people like the New Deal and its objectives and want to see it continued.
 The Republicans platform, pro- 6A cSA4Ap 4CbAC4 o414H GbA4O NcsAA1RcAEx1 0O not offer sufficiently constructive and concrete set of objectives and they must go back and build from the ground up, with new principles, new methods, new men and women at the helm, if they hope to achieve victory in 1948.
 As campaigner, Governor Dewey while trying hard and giving the im- preSsion of being sincere in his be- liefs, was just another baritone with only one song to sing while his op- ponent, the old master of politics, pulled all the stops of ridicule, pa- thos, deep thoughtfulness and even prayer. Dewey's efforts to unsen the people on the Roosevelt admins tration, often by over-emphaSis on trivial miSrepresentationS, may have been one of the causes of his own undoing.
 CHALLENGE TO
 THE REPUBLICANS
 The next four years will be tough perhaps even tougher than 1892 to 1886. The responsibility will be on the Democratic. leadership and majority, but the role of the Re- publican minority is of equal im- portance. The Republicans can con- tinue program of petty criticism and partisan opposition under the old leadership. Or 1t can step out and develop constructive program of its own which will be better than anything the Democrats can offer.
 The great hope for the rebirth of a really progressive Republican party lies in the latter course. But its leadership has yet to emerge.

 A Min of Iodine

I am g years old and just seem to be tired all the time. I work at, an easy job from T to 3 and when. I get home I can go right to bed and sleep till next morning-it is getting so that I do nothing but work and sleep and am too tired to go out in the evening.

 Answer - In two pages you tell precious little about yourself, daughter, but it can do no harm, at any rate, to begin taking an Iodin Ration-a drop or two of Mild Tincture of Iodine in water two or three times 8 week. Send samped envelope bearing your address, and ask for (do not send a clipping) Instructions for Taking an Iodin Ration" This is advisable for all growing children. youths and young adults who are not under medical care, and especially if the tired ness, is associated with gloomy spirit or lack of the normal cheer fitness of youth.

Selected Poem
CRICKET IN STEEL HELMET

CKICKET IN STEEL HEIMET
 (Sgt. Daniel Smythe in The New York Times) On the shelf cricket has found refuge; Over and over he makes his plaintive sound As if he had listening field of grass And snug rocks fitting all around. But know what he has curve of steel, the helmet have worn And put away: he makes it ring With his thin silver of a note Unceasing; there is a wsp of echo borne Against my ear i. |. I hear him sing, This one that unaware of words, of wrong, Lifts a brave music, hears 1t float Against round walls which we have raised, He may think all are pastures here and song; But later, when in silence he will go, The quiet world beyond what we have praised VIII welcome him back, I know.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 QNS)-
The votes of James A. Farley and
his wife in next Tuesdays ma
tional election will cancel each
other out, close friends of the Far
ley family have disclosed.
Farley. who managed President
Roosevelt's campaign in 1882 and
1886, is known to be even more
bitterly opposed TO fourth term
than he was TO a third one. when
he broke with the President in
1910 and retired from national
politics, his friends say, He has
made no speeches or statements
in behalf of the Democratic ma
tional ticket.
They added, however. that Far
ley still considers himself a MEM
Der of the regular Democratic
party in New York. AS such he
feels obligated 10 vote Democratic
in the coming election.
On the other hand, Mrs. Farley
has minced no words in making
known her decision to vote for
Gov. Dewey.
