so Years AGO

Tneod0re ROOSEVELT went
TO court so years ago to sue
a magazine publisher who
had accused him OF being a
"drunkard." The Star for the
last week Of May. 1918. made
T. RS $4,000 libel suit
against George Newett. pub
Usher Of the IShpeming Iron
Ore, its main news story.
Many members OF the Rough
Riders cabinet and a number
Of newspapermen testified to
Teddy's sobriety. On May 81.
Roosevelt took the stand at
the courthouse In Marquette.
Mich. and testified at length
about his mild drinking
habits. This paper said "he
admitted using wines with his
meals, but said he never
touched strong liquors. ex-
cept on advice Of his physi-
clan or after great exposure.
He said he did not smoke or
touch beer. I have never
drunk a cocktail or highball
in my life. The only wines I
have drunk have been white
wines. Madeira. champagne.
or. very occasionally q glass
OF sherry. >" The Jury
finally awarded the ex-Presi-
dent damages OF G cents and
Newett made a public apology
in court.
The first Memorial Day
address ever made by q
Southerner at Gettysburg
was that OF Representative
Thomas A. Heflin OF Ala
bama, so years ago. The Star
OF May 30. 1913. quoted him:
"The republic once abounding
with opinions as 10 State and
Federal rights and powers Is
today the harmonious house,
hold OF sovereign States, the
home OF a brave and happy
people. Here In the red
glare Of destructive battle
fire two mighty lessons we're
taught; one that the Union
should be preserved. and the
other that the Union should
be ever mindful and con-
siderate OF the rights OF the
States. so the soldiers OF the
two armies who baptized this
soil with their blood did not
die In vain; they started the
work Of cementing the bonds
Of an everlasting Union. . -

BY PHILIP HI. LOVE

Tastes differ in vacations,
as in everything else. My own
preference is simply to

say dull. But I'm not the
least bit envious of friends
who 60 to more glamorous

usually do.
Vacation places are not
always chosen for reasons of
personal enjoyment alone. I

with his wife's folks in Gary,

Gary the best Of all possible
vacation spots" he explains.
TITS Just that I'd rather visit
my in-laws for two weeks
than have them visit me for

Another chap takes long
automobile trips-not, as you
might suppose, because he
loves to travel. but because
he's a home movie fan. On
q trip to Canada last sum-
mer. he exposed enough film

all his friends for six months.
I sometimes suspect that
the main reasons some peo-
pie go where they do are
ID to have q prestigious

DEAR ABBY: I was pleased
to see your answer to, "His
Mother" who complained
because her son was not pro-
NOTED. I've taught school for
over 80 years, and am famil-
lar with the problem. It is
sad for the child when his
parents bring the roof down
on the teacher when 1t Is
suggested that their child
repeat q year. Usually the
parent is hurt because Of
what friends and relatives
will say. I have seen par
ents fight teachers on this
all the way through the
grades, until finally the
pupil receives a diploma
even though he cannot. spell
properly, has never learned
to comprehend what he has
read, and has a very poor
foundation in math and
science. Parents willingly &C
cept the fact that not all
children learn to walk and
talk at the same age. But
they refuse to admit that
not all children learn other
skills at the same rate.
Please, Abby, let parents
know that if a child must
repeat a grade, it is no re-
Election on his intelligence.

most interesting activity is
hunting along the beach for

been airsick, the husbands

required shots, they'd been

they were tired and broke.

lodgings had been preferable

They. too. were tired and

had said 1t would sleep six"

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: I am 16 and
have just received a tele-
phone call from the boy I've
been dating. He told me that
his mother didn't want him
to date me any more because
she had heard some things
about my older sister. OF
course, he said we could date
on the sneak, but I don't
like that idea. I have had
girls tell me that their par
ents didn't want them to run
around with me because Of
my sister. Sure, my sister
has q bad reputation, but !
have never done the slightest
thing out Of line. Why do
brothers and sisters have to
suffer because of something
they couldn't help? I'm not
the only one with this prob
lem. How can I prove to peo-
pie that I am not like my
sister?

cute their little darlings are,
they are a pain in the neck
to service men. When I go
into a home to repair plumb
ing and heating, my biggest
problem is combing the kids
out Of my hair. II they aren't
watched, they get into my
tool box and walk off with
my tools. Or worse yet, they
stand q chance Of getting
hurt. They ask a million
questions and breathe down
your neck. I like kids, Abby,
don't get me wrong, but it's
hard for a repairman to tell
q mother to keep her kids
away while he's working, so
will you do it for us?

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Will Gold Salts
Quiet Arthritis?
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have been an arthritic VIC
tim for over 20 years. Nothing
seems to help much. I have
tried all kinds Of treatments
except gold injections. My
new doctor wants to try it.
What do you think?-Mrs. o.
/ AM NOT BEING face
tious when ! say that all
that glitters is not, etc. Gold
salts are still being used by
some physicians, but ! hope
your doctor has not buoyed
you up too much about the
possibilities for cure. In
some cases 1t has helped
where other measures have
failed, but not too often.
Some patients can't take
this treatment because they
get allergic reactions in the
skin. Others may involve the
blood; 1t is for this reason
that there is need for FREQ
ent blood examinations.
My advice? 1t all depends
how much you are in pain
and discomfort. II you are
really suffering, I see no
reason why you can't let
one with experience In these
gold treatments try to re-
lieve you.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
can't sit In company. I per-
spire terribly. Keep wiping
my face with q handker-
chief. The sudden feeling Of
heat and discomfort comes
over me and I feel like I'd
like to drop through a hole
In the floor. I know it's the
menopause. But our family
doctor doesn't believe in pre-
scribing anything for 1t. He
keeps saying. "It will go away.

think there is some relief

medicine?-Mrs. Z.
