AS A MATTER OF FACT

A pre-Civil War notebook owned by carpenter in Urbana, H., of the lS40's and sos has an interesting notation about Abraham Lincoln and which adds one more paragraph to the Lincoln saga. The writer says he saw Abe run foot race with one Samuel Waters in front Of the Court House. The notebook will be given to the University of Illinois, So among other things Lincoln was also something of an athlete.

 Unfortunately, the rumor has persisted, so far without denial, that Dewey, if elected, is plan- ming to remove J. Edgar Hoover as head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, The report Is that Just as Roosevelt has rua the Navy aS his own pct da- partment, so Dewey, If elected, would run the Justice Depart men; also that he would bring some of his old district attorney friends down from New York to take over the FDI,
 J, Edgar Hoover came into the Justice Department during earlier Republican days, Roosevelt was smart enough to keep him on and strengthen his bureau con- siderably, In fact, during the Roosevelt administration the FBI had reached Its peak in per- sonnel, also has achieved an en. viable record in preventing both Abotage and Kidnapping.
 Many Republicans feel it
 would be . serious error for
 Dewey to remove Hoover. They
 hope he would not let this re.
 port persist, especially In view
 of the wave of crime which < follows every war and Is sure to follow this one.
 Three factors are likely Go make the crime wave just nS bad or worse after this war. One Is juvenile delinquency, which has reached alarming proportions, Second is the fact that there is a certain smNl lpercentago of criminals In every army, and war always accentuNtes criminal in- tinetS. Finally, q small fraction of ways aceentuatCs criminal in. stlnctS. Finally, a small fraction of war workers, now making big money. may resort to crime when that big money is cut off, NEW DEAL BOOSTS DEWEY
 President Roosevelt recently re" ceiyed . personal report on Gov. Dewey's oklahoma City meeting from e%.Senator Josh Lee, also of Oklahoma.
 Lee reported that the rostrum of the auditorium from whien Governor Dewey spoke had been built for Q person of Oklahoma proportions. such as 6-foot.3 Gov, eTnor Bob Kerr,
 Prior to the meeting, Roosevelt hating Senaotr Ed Moore had compiled Q huge volume, about eight inches thick, of New Deal legislation, Senator Moore plant. planned to use this for a dra- matic climax when Dewey would wave the mass of New Deal laws before his audinece. Senator Senator Moore therefore sat on the platform clutching hls book in his lap.
 However, when tho Republican chairman prepared to introduce Dewey to the audience, he saw that the rostrum would be too big for the COP candidate. So he whisked the thick volume of New Deal laws out of Moore's jap and neatly placed 1t on the floor hehind the rostrum.
 "DOwn went the big bOok," wrote Josh Lee to FDR, land up went Dewey, who made his Republican speech on the New

 A NIP FOR GRAM AND CRANE
 From time to time I have directs cd to parents, teachers, spiritual advisers, doctors, unoles, arunts, big brothers and sisters a plea in ho. half of growing boys and girls namely, the ceremony of pledgilsA tlleEn against using alcohol uf tobacco, and the annual renewal of the pledge, soy on the child'S birthday, Up to the time when the child becomes Independent and self-supporting. I thank my lucky stars that my mother, Q member Of the Womens Christian Temper AFioe Union q wish they'd drop the Christian part of that name and make it just Wonen's Temperance Union-for know some of the fine est mothers who arc, not Christtans) pledged her children In this way. We were ordinary children and we had as lief beaten mother up with a baseball bat as break that pledge.
 Members and officers of the w. o. T. U. have now and again ex~ pressed approval of my attitude. Spiritual advisers rarely. Parents once or twice. Doctors never.
 Now if I had my way every blankety. .blanked cocktail joint in the country would Do closed, not only on V-day and for c day or two thereafter, but forever. And every alleged eating place where liquor is available would pay such c stiff tax ln liquor sales that there would Do no profit in that end of the bust. ness.
 Now don't assume I'm just . crank. I am speaking as Q health expert.
 Tn his famous Practice of Media cine" textbook Dr, Osler, speaking of the treatment of pneumonia said:
 "Aieohol does not seem to raise the blood pressure in fever, and the studies of Briggs and Ccok in my wards would indicate that 10 Is not of much value iii progres- slye Vasomotor collapse. This does
 not mean, however, that it may
 not have c value in the feverS and I should be sorry Co give up It's use in the severer forms Of
 enteric' = ttyphoid fever) --"and of pneumonia"
 Tn tho same edition (sixth, '0D osier said in the chapter on treats ment of typhoid or enterlo fever;
 "Aleohol is unnecessary in Q great majority of the eases, or
 late years 1 have used it much
 less freely; but when the heart Is feeble and the toxic symptoms are severe, Glght Go twelve ounces of whiSkey may be given in the

 Before we put osler back on the shelf--after, al. he Is not ail Au. thority today-it seems pertinent to recall that when he visited hM elderly mother and found her rath" CT peakish he advised her to have some wine every day. But mother shook her head, No, no, Willie" She said, I'm afraid might get the habit"

BALANCE (Charles Hanson Towne in The New York Times) Brief is the pomp of this bright flower; All beauty moves to swift decay. Kings know an interval of power, And each love has It's little day. Yet if our bliss is never long, And rapture can but briefly live, All grim forebodings, pain and wrong And even grief are fugitive.

There are counselors in about IS

that each one can take care of the
needs Of between 300 and 400

through experience. The organi-
