stiff competition because the then
Penrose Crane Smoot machine
wanted some of those same dele
gates to be used against Roosevelt.
The Southern delegates had nomi-

which, the patronage

Mr.. Harding's nomination in 1920
left no doubt that the Southern del
egates still stood where they had
always stood-with one foot in the
patronage trough. The story went
the rounds in Chicago that when
the State bosses brought in their
bags from the cotton fields and the
cane brakes number Of delegates
were led singly into Q very private
room and there one with a pair OF
shears operated on a 500 bill, cut
ting it neatly in half. One portion
was given to the hungry delegate
who was to help nominate, and in
that instance elect, a President of
the United States. He was told to

know anything about politics have
known for a long time, namely, that
it is the South that determines the
selection of the Republican national
ticket. The South had to submit to
the horde of greedy and unscrupulous
carpet-baggers that trotted along
behind Sherman in his march to the
sea. But few Of the Republicans OF
the North have ever suspected that
q horde Of carpet-baggers from the
South have exploited and controlled
their party conventions ever since.
With one Of their own in COM
mand these Southern carpet-bag-
gers will soon start their march to
Lake Erie. Thus the law OF COM
pensation continues to work.
Bidding Sometimes High.
Well In advance Of every Re-
publican National Convention, silent
men with well-fllled purses slip
through the South lining up" dele
gates. Sometimes competition makes
the bidding high. That was what
happened in 1915 when the late
George w. Perkins, formerly Nor.
gan partner, believed that he was

hookworm that had afiicted 1t TO,
80 long. That experience cured me
of the Republican party instead.
The struggle for the bought-and-
paid-for delegates from the Southern
States Is on again and I am realist
enough to believe that the next Re-
publican convention will be con-
trolled, as it has since the 1870s, by
the so-called Republican delegates
from Southern States.
Mr.. Stassen's running from now
on, at least through 1948, will be on
treadmil. He will not be going
anywhere. AS I read the tea leaves
in the cup, the Republican nominee
will be either Mr.. Bricker or Mr..
Taft, and in either event Mr.. Taft
will slyly whistle the old Republican

Q. What happens to a radar beam
II there is no object to intercept It?
F. r.
A. If the radar beam encountess
no object to reflect it, the beam con-
tlnues to travel in a straight line
and vanishes into space.
Q. How long does a sunspot last?
F. L.
A. Most sunspots are very short
lived phenomena and small ones
often last but for a single day, or
from two to four days. The duration
OF others may be somewhat longer.
In one recorded instance (1840-4D
spot persisted for Is months.
q. Do the stars and bars on the
sleeves OF conductors uniforms indi-
cate length of service with a particu.
lar railroad?-V. j.
A. On most railroads the star rep
resents rs years Of service, and each
bar or stripe represents five years
of service.
Q. On what do whales feed?-R
E. F..
A. Despite their great size, whales
feed almost entirely on the shrimp
like cruStaceans and other minute
creatures in the ocean. The eouiva-
lent Of six barrelfuls of these small
creatures may be eaten at one meal
by a blue whale.
@. Recently you stated that it
was not possible to stand in the end
OF the rainbow. However, a rainbow
once seemed to strike the ground not
six feet from where I was standing.
Could this have been a reflection?
j. w. c.
A. The Weather Bureau says the
light Of the rainbow comes to us
from all the water drops the sun is
shining upon in the direction of the
bow. If the shower is some distance
away the lowest drops may be in line
with the surface, land or water,
within the shower, in which the bow,
as well known, has all the ap-
pearance of standing or terminating
upon the surface at that point. But
this is only an optical illusion.
@. My husband was killed in ac-
ton in 1912 and I have now applied
for a pension on behalf of my
7-year-old daughter. Will the pen
sion date back to the date of my
husbands death?-L. G.
A. The pension to a child of a
World War II veteran killed in
action is $25, if there is no widow
receiving payment. Payment will
be made from the day the applica-
ton is received by the Veterans
Administration, since application
was not made within one year after
the mans death.
@. If a man re-enlists in the
Regular Navy does he remain elig-
ible for the educational benefits
provided in the CT bill?-C. w. E.
A. All the benefits under the CT
Bill of Rights will be extended for
men who re-enlist, enlist or transfer
before October, 1916. The extension
will cover the full period Of the en-
listment.

into dreamland, but the new-fangled
techniques as described in the arti-

insomaniac. Had I not abandoned
the routine when did, the chances

you had to start working on 1t
shortly after dinner. The main item
was pillows. There had to be pill
lows under your ears, under your
shoulder blades, under your arms,
under your knees and under the
small of your back. Once half
smothered in pillows, you started
relaxing
Relax your wrists. Relax your ear
drums. Relax your eyelids. Relax
your eyeballs. Relax your tibia,
fibia, escutcheon, heliotrope. No
method Of relaxing these various
parts was furnished, but the writer
said it could be done and must be
done.
So I would get into bed and
start following instructions, but just
as thought my fibia was relaxed q
pillow would slip and my ears. al
ready asleep, would wake up. This
sort of thing kept up until the
Growing Of the roosters finally put
me to sleep.
My method of getting to sleep
is foolproof, and there is nothing
fancy about it. Just few simple
rules. The first thing to do is to
20 to bed with as many worries on
your mind as possible. Worry about
what you have done the day before,
and all the troubles that face you
on the morrow. If you haven't any
make some up. This trou-
blesome state Of mind will cause
you to toss and roll when you get
In bed.
Twist to All Sides.
You'll start to sleep on your right
side, but that won't work SO you'll
turn over on your back. This will
cause you to remember an old edi-
torial by, I believe, the late Ar
thur Brisbane, that said that the
back was a bad place to sleep on,
and so you'll turn on your left
side. Once on your left side, you're
likely to be uncomfortable because
statistics prove that most people
sleep on their right sides. So you'll
twist again.
BY this time the bedclothes are
all twisted and knotted, and there
Is but one thing to do-rise up and
them out. After smooth
ing the sheets and getting the
blankets back in place, you'll fall
back and start wondering why you
ever decided to 60 to bed in the
first place. This will take your
mind of your troubles and, relaxed,
you'll start counting the automo-
bile horns that blow, or the troll
ley cars that screech around the
corner, or the starting and stop
ping of the buses.
Before you know it, you'll be
wrapped in that sweet
