 2. The previous naming of unin- structed-that is, anti-Roosevelt- delegations of electors by Alabama Arkansas, Louisiana. Mississippi and South Carolina. CThe Virginia and Georgia conventions are yet to be held Florida split, a majority to Roosevelt)
 3. The Shreveport, La, meeting of anti-New Deal political elements called by E. B. Germany of Texas and Gov. Martin s. Conner of Mis- sissippi seeking to consolidate southern opposition to Roosevelt.
 4. The open effort to ditch Henry Wallace as vice president.
 5. The movement, backed by John U. Barr of New Orleans, to induce Virginia Sen. Harry F. Byrd to be- come a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination against Roosevelt. UP POPS AMERICA FIRST"
 6. North Carolina Sen. Robert R. Reynolds formation of bipartisan organization to support an Amer lea First"-that is, an isolationist and therefore anti-Roosevelt-for- eign policy.
 '. Southern Democrats opposition to the c. I. o. Political Action Com mittee which, in effect if not open ly. is doing land office business in lining up support for Roosevelt and the fourth term. Nearly everything the c. I. o. stands for is opposed by the colonels
 8. Southern opposition to fed- eral soldier vote ballot on the grounds that 1t was violation of the sacred southern principle of states rights--the same argument used in opposition to repeal of poll tax legislation by federal action.
 9. Alabama Sen. John H, Bank heads fight to force up the price of cotton, cotton goods, and cotton clothing, by limiting the price-fiX- ing powers of OPA.
 Three preliminary revolutionary Skirmishes have been lost: North Carolina Sen. Josiah w. Bailey's ef- fort to exempt fire incurance from antitrust law regulation and Ten nessee Sen. Kenneth McKellars eff fort to hamstring IVA. Kentucky Sen. Alben W. Barkley's revolt over the tax bill.
 But add up all this effort and what have you?
 THEY'LL LIKELY LOSE RIFT STIR TIP PLENTY
 If this were Argentina instead of the United States, activities of these southern colonels might mean an ef- fort at Fascist putsch-which New Dealers have tried to make 1t.
 The degree to which activities of the colonels represents sentiments of their constituents Is open to ques- ton. Evidence that this reaction ary sentiment is not representative of the voters is perhaps best shown by the renomination in state prirn- aries of arch-New Deal Senators Claude Pepper of Florida and Lister Hill of Alabama.
 Furthermore, the southern states there are only PA votes out of the total of 1l76. Even under the two- thirds rule, the colonels would need 393 votes to stop the Roosevelt steam roller
 When the convention votes are counted, the colonels will probably find that their revolution has taken a licking. But they may have a lot of fun stirring things up in the meantime.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT
 0E POISON IVY

The essential principles of hon1e- opathy as "schoop or system Of practice, fathered by Hahnemann i5O years ago, are almost forgotten today, although Dr. Hahnemann and his teachings served great purpose and restored a degree of sanity to medical practice which was any- thing but rational before his day. what with bleeding, salvation, pur- gation, blistering and other drastic methods, which, in too many 1ns stances, made the treatment worse than the disease. Even if we now believe the cures attributed to homeopathic treatment (m mute doses of the drug the practitioner thinks will produce similar symp- torns) are really due to natural pow CTS of recovery working unhindered, still we must admit that Hahne- mann contributed much to Medicine and some of his teachings are em- plyoyed in practice by most good physicians today.
 Tn saying this I do not endorse or approve of homeopathy or any other so-called school" of Medicine, least of all "allopathy"-which never was a system of practice anyway. In my opinion healer whop urports to be a homeopathist, an allopathist, an osteopathist or anything other than a physician fitted by education training and character to employ whatever method of treatment the patient needs in his judgment, is exploiting the ignorance and cred- ulity of the public. :.
 One good instance of the use of a homeopathic principle in every day practice is the treatment of ivy poisoning-perhaps the best treat- ment we have today. I mean the hypodermic or rather deeper intra- muscular injection of minute dose of the poison itself for quick relief and cure of ivy poisoning. In many cases the severity of the irritation and itching or burning (say no more, brother, I knowD Is relieved within 24 hours; in some cases a second dose is advisable after 24 hours; in some cases even a third "shot" may be required to complete the treatment. The poison ivy ex- tract, antigen, toxin or homeo- pathic dilution of Rhus toxicoden" dron used for this purpose is sup piled to physicians by most of the large pharmaceutical manufactur- CTS.

 Answer-Oh, I suppose 1t doesn't matter whether such pap is used to persuade sissies to take their milk. Tough guys take theirs straight and make no fuss about 1t. For every day nutrition of course straight milk is superior. Mike is lucky to have all the plain pure fresh milk he wants and if you don't start mor- keying with 1t he'll probably take 1t and like 1t without all the fus- sing.

(New York Herold Tribune)


 At this season of the year Amer ican colleges and universities were wont to send forth their graduates to the manifold occupations of a nation at peace. Commencements were festive occasions, enlivened by traditional exercises and alumni relaxation, enriched by the expecta- tions of the graduating seniors and their parents, But the colleges for men have gone to war, and the col- leges for women have felt the pres- sures of the day in their turn, until 1t seems as if American education has been stabilized at the high school level. It is on the boys and girls who will be graduated this June from secondary institutions that attention focuses in an effort
