Although the Franklin D. Roosevelt children are grown, the youngest be ing nearly eighteen, grandsons and granddaughters can be counted on to furnish much "copy" of the kind that convHlsed the nation when their dls taut cousins occupied <fhe limelight. Three of president and Mrs. Roose velt's children are married. All of them are rearing families. MrB. Anna Roosevelt Da 11, the blond daughter, who will spend a great denl of . her time at the White House, has two children, a girl and a boy. James Roosevelt, who married Betsy Oushing of Boston.

Of the former, there' Is Anna Eleanor, known to everyone as "sls tle." The boy, Curtly Roosevelt Dull. Is best known as "Buzzle." They >are nicknames that grew out of the pronunciation of each others names by the little sister and brother. Slstle and Buzzle nre frequent visi tors at (ttyde Park and to the Roose velt home In New York city. Little Ahha Eleanor, who resembles her mother, already Is showing a fond ness for outdoor sports so character istic of the Rooseve)t8. At five and a half she rides it saddle pony very well.

' 1 wS A The minister, be was telling us, had approached Stanley with the Idea that be might become actively identified with the church, but Stanley could not see it that way. "The quarrel that I have with the church," Stan ley explained, "Is that you never know where to And it. It Is al ways changing Its point of view. This year It em phasizes one thing, and. before you know it. It Is taking an altogether dif ferent stand. If It would settle down to something definite and stay there it might make an appeal to me. I'd 'like it to stay put," ? The very thing that Stanley was complaining about revealed the life and progress of the church. When business or science or religion stands stM, they are soon dead as a door ?ail. The hope of religion is that it does make progress, that it does throw off its old methods and its archaic dogmas and get a new light and a new vision. Stanley Is a very much up-to-date business man whose standing in the community and among his business associates Is not questioned. Does he do business as he did forty years ago when he started in? He does not If you want to know where to And him Just push to the front ranks and you'll discover him there. Strange that he shouldn't expect the church to make the same progress, or use the same methods. They were tearing down the great buildings on Lake street as I passed along that avenue not long ago.

It Is sh^ really, who baa all the time to make one room appear like another.' It Is amaz Ing how successfully some home dec orators alter appearances of rooms at a moment's notice from living room to bedroom, from kitchen to dining room, etc. Such changes are transl ent, however, as the changing back again has to be done dally also. It Is when a room undergoes a permanent chnnge of use that It has to be reclaimed through change of furniture. Or it may be that some unused room is needed and must be made Into some specific type, cham her, sewing room, den. etc., with a lit tle more furniture and furnishings than are to be gathered from other rooms in a home Here the proper selection of articles and the knowl edge of the least furniture, etc., which can possibly be bought, bring the most thrifty results. Ingenious Change*. , It Is seldom an easy matter. No room can have too much robbed from It to go into the new room lest neith er appears well furnished. To avoid buying articles the hoipe decorat6r must be lngenloila and >lnventtve to save money without appearing to do so.

The policeman's "billy club" has been replaced by the rubber mace here because It costs considerably less and a blow from It does not mar the features. The mace, according to Michael P. Morrissey. chief of police, is a Hat piece of rubber, rectangular In shape and containing a slot through which the Angers of the hand may be slipped to obtain a grip. v. It delivers s stunning slap, but It more force is needed. Its edge may be used with as much effec tiveness ss the old-time club, now In universal use. The mace costs only Oft cents as compared with $4.80 for the regu lation "copper's stick," Morrissey said. nnd front' of sides.

No doubt nbout it, the feminine side of the Olympic truck und fleld competition added a touch to this great International spectacle that was lacking until the bars were let down at Amsterdam four years ago. Sev enteen countries sent women athletes to compete In track and tleld, swim ming. fencing and gymnastics at Los Angeles, and thousands wondered bo fore the games were finished why these modern Amazons have been classified as the weaker sex. China, Turkey and India still cloister their womenfolk, but there was a sprinkling of entrants from European countries, and Japan mar shaled a formidable array for the feminine activities. The United States has lagged In its development of women's sports, aside from swim ming, but the rise of such a super star as Mildred Didrlkson. of Dallas Texns, promises to make up for lost lime. Miss Didrlkson, who prefers to be called "Iiabe," qualified to com pete in three track and tleld events ? the 80-meter hurdles, javelin und discus throws. And yet there Is a physical side to the women's track and field com petition at Los Angeles which nrouses serious doubt as to the wis dom of their participation. Olympic rules are strict, and no alternates are allowed. Thus the three girls chosen lu the vnrious events could not be expected to step aside, even though the rules of health and com mon sense should dictate their with drawal. Regardless of the physical side, however, It Is quite clear that women's athletics have come to stay, even though some of us would have it otherwise. ? Boston Tran script. POISON in Your bowels!
