AS JUNIOR PULLS ON POPPER'S SHOES ...
F.D.R. Treads Across the Political Stage
. . . NEW DEALERS RUSH TO SHINE 'EM
By H. I. PHILLIPS
NEW ROOSEVELT THREAT...
It looks as If there is to be an
other Franklin D. Roosevelt in the
American political picture, like it
or not. The big build-up for Junior
is on and he starts off with this
advantage or handicap, all depend
ing on your viewpoint: He looks
like popper, talks like popper and
screens like popper. He is what
might be called “a spittin’ image."
*
Even if it makes yon wince,
there is no escaping the fact
that ail these things shape up
into an appeal to millions of
American voters. Franklin Jun
ior is a mere kid, a long hop
from a statesman and a green
hand on the squad, but the
name, the model and the man
ner represent advertising as
sets.

THEY THAT WAIT
UPON THE LORD”
(Isaiah XL, 31)
O WEARY one, lay hold on God and claim
This glorious promise, prove its depth and
length,
And let it warm your being like.a flame:
Who waits on God, he shall renew his Strength.
Your weariness shall pass forevermore;
You shall forget your sorrow and your tears.
You shall be young again—God will restore
The years to you, the seeming waited years.
You shall mount up as eagles, you shall fly , _
On Strong swift pinions through the dazzling noon,
Or cleave the night on wings to reach the sky,
One with the racing wind, the Stars, the moon.
And’you shall run and not be weary, Heart,
The golden hills shall fall beneath your feet,
The journey’s ending will be as the Start,
So fresh you will be, and the way so sweet.
But more than lifting wings, or Strength to run.
Will be the joy, after the old restraint:
To walk unburdened, free beneath the sun.
The long bright miles before you, and not faino.

Any company selling soap, shav
ing cream or cigarettes that had
lost its trademark and suddenly
discovered an exact duplicate
would cheer no more loudly than
the New Deal addicts are cheering
at the moment. They think Junior
has the same box-office appeal.
“Run this right," declared a smart
Democratic politician the other
day, “and in five or six years there
will be plenty of voters who will
think daddy has returned from the
grave." "Wanna bet?” is the an
swer of others. “The imitation
never sells like the original. No
matter how they stage-manage it.
Junior will always be just a copy.”
But neither side is positive. And
that’s what is causing so many
arguments.

The
-Fiction HE-MAN S CODE
By
Richard H. Wilkinson
Corner
A NDY had sensitive eyes and
delicate hands but Leonie, born
and bred a westerner of pioneer
stock, was human. She loved him.
It wasn’t until after they were mar
ried that she discovered he was a
physical coward.
She found out the night of Serena
Boone’s engagement party. Tony
Swift was there. As usual he was
drunk. He was a handsome deviL
this Tony, tall and bronzed and
reckless. He had been Leonie’s
childhood sweet-
heart. Fo’’-s
said she would
have married
him if it weren’t
for his drinking.
The first thing Tony saw when
he came through the door was Le
onie and Andy dancing together. A
scowl crossed his face. Then he
laughed. When they whirled past
him he stepped up and whacked
Andy on the back.
“Tony’s cut," he grinned. “Make
way for a man.”
Leonie flushed. Andy hesitated,
looked at Tony, then gave way smil
ing. “Sure thing," he said. "Your
dance, Tony."
As soon as she could, without ap
pearing too obvious, she asked
Andy to take her home.
There she accused:
“Why did you let him insult you?
Oh, the shame of it!"
Andy was startled and bewil
dered. “Let who insult me, honey.”
“Who?” She stared at him. “Tony
Swift, of course! I was never so
humiliated iff my life.”
“Tony? Oh, yon mean be
cause of wbat he said? Shucks,
honey, Tony didn’t mean any
thing. He was drunk.”
The appalling truth flashed
across Leonie’s brain in that mo
ment. Andy was a coward! He’d
been afraid of Tony, which was
why he evaded the issue! With a
little whimpering cry she turned
and ran sobbing from the room.
A week later, on Saturday night,
Andy stopped by at Seth Lancey’s
store to see Seth on a matter of
business. A couple of boys from his
mine were there, drinking at the
bar. Minutes later, talking with
Seth, he heard a rumpus out front.
Investigating he discovered that
two boys were engaged in a brawl
with three men from the Bar V
cattle ranch. Andy stood by and
watched a while. Others joined in.
It began to look as though the place
would be wrecked. Andy got out of
there.
Leonie heard about it the next
day. That settled things for her.
A NDY was bewildered and un
happy. The next day he found
himself brooding over the situation.
By mid-afternoon he could stand it
no longer. Leaving Noah Tait in
charge of operations, he drove
home. As he strode up the walk he
heard a cry. He burst open the
door and found Tony Swift trying
to kiss his wife. Tony wasn't drunk.
He was babbling something about
Leonie really loving him.
Tony whirled at the sound Andy
made. His lip curled. “Oho! The
sissy from Bos ”
Andy strode across the floor.
His face was black. “I guess,"
he said bitterly; “you’re dumb,
after all. You need teaching.”
He struck out. Tony tried to
dodge, but Andy’s fist clipped
him on the chin so hard that
he went down.
“Damn you!" He lunged, but
Andy wasn't where he expected.
Andy’s fist flashed out again, jnd
again Tony went down. Andy
jerked him to his feet and hit him
again. He hit him a third time and
a fourth. Blood covered Tony’s
face. Tony whimpered for mercy.
Andy dragged him to the door and
threw him out
"Andy!" Leonie fled into his
arms. "Oh, my darling, you were
wonderful! Oh, precious, forgive
me for what I said. Andy, why
didn’t you do that before—that
night at the dance?”
Andy frowned. "Why, shucks,
honey, I don’t like to fight. Don’t
you see? He was drunk then. There
was no need.”
Leonie laid her head on his shoul
der. “I see, darling. Of course
I see."
But she didn’t

How about an alternate title “Twin

They might have been prepared
for it by the reviews of their hear
ings . . . Liz Taylor, we see, will
marry Bill Pawley, Jr., instead of
Glenn Davis, the former West Point

never anything serious between her

Branch Rickey has returned a

player he turned over in exchange
had a sore shoulder . . . We don’t
know about the player’s shoulder,

that much moolah „ . . Some of

"Money Quarrels'
Are Symptomatic
By Lawrence Gould
Soap Holes Found
Value in Disguise
Produce Magic Mud
With Multiple Uses
Ever since Belle Fourche, S. D„
was a rip-snorting cattle town at
the end of the old Chisholm trail
its residents have been damning
the “soap holes” that plagued the
area.
Fast-riding cowboys often took
a nasty tumble in this super-slip
pery mud and cattle were forever
getting bogged down in them.
But now, like a man discovering
his hives are really a blessing.
Belle Fourche has found its soap
holes are one of its biggest assets.
Every one of them is filled with
a magic mud called bentonite. It’s
an odorless, tasteless, soapy mud
with a thousand uses and scientists
are thinking up new ones every
day.
Most of us already are using it
a half dozen times a day, but al
most nobody has heard of it. Men
use it in shoe polish and hand
cleaners. Women use it in face
Can “money troubles wreck a marriage?
Answer: Only when combined
with other, though perhaps un
conscious factors. People to whom
lack of money has brought actual
hardship may take out their bit
terness on one another, since it’s
natural (if childish) to want to
blame someone for your troubles.
But most quarrels over money are
no more than an excuse for vent
ing irritation over deeper and
more intimate dissatisfactions
which the people are unwilling to
discuss—or perhaps even admit.
An otherwise happy, well-adjusted
couple will not “split up” over
money.

Bentonite is the most absorb
ent material found in nature.
When moistened it swells to
several times its normal size.
This quality makes it useful in
waterproofing housing founda-
* tions and many other Industrial
uses.
powder, lotions, beauty creams.
Bentonite also is found in many
types of paint, plaster and cleaning
agents. It’s handy for filling holes
in giant dams and for casting
moulds for molten metal. Forced
down thousands of feet into the
earth this magic mud lubricates
the drills in oil wells and sends the
debris up to the drillers.
Its new uses and increasing popu
larity for its older uses all add up
to a boom such as Belle Fourche
hasn’t seen since the gold rush.
In the past 10 years the popula
tion has practically doubled and
bentonite now pours $600,000 a
year into the town in the form of
additional purchasing power.
Fifteen years ago Belle Fourche
shipped out three carloads of
bentonite. Last year its production
was 6,187 carloads and this year
they expect carloadings to go con
siderably higher.
Scientists say that bentonite, a
strange mixture made up mostly of
dust from prehistoric volcanos, is
found almost nowhere in the world
except in the Black Hills of Wyo
ming and South Dakota.
It is the most absorbent material
nature ever has devised, they say,
and a half dozen teaspoonsful will
soak up a glass of water.
Should a three-year-old visit his
playmates?
Answer: Certainly, if he is wel
come, and if they have mothers
who can watch the children at
play—for children of that age
can’t always be trusted not to hurt
each other when they quarrel, as
they probably will. By the time he
is three years old a child should
begin to learn the most important
lesson of his childhood—the tech
nique of getting on with people of
his own agfe on an equal basis. He
will never learn this lesson by
staying at home and playing by
himself, or by being in his moth
er’s company all day long.
Is ignorance ever a
"safeguard”?
Answer: In itself, no. The most
that can be said for it is that it is
better than misinformation or than
certain kinds of partial knowledge.
If “a little learning is a dangerous
thing,” it is because it’s apt to be
exaggerated or distorted. A smat
tering of psychology may be worse
than ignorance if it makes you
think that because neurosis may
be caused by repressed feelings,
you should give free rein to every
impulse, regardless o f conse
quences. But sound, well-assimi
lated knowledge is the best and
surest safeguard in the long run.

KEEPING HEALTHY \
Self-Demand Infant Feeding
By Dr. James
O NE OF THE jokes commonly
current is that Mrs. Smith
“must” have perfect children be
cause she brings them up by the
book. As a matter of fact this bring
ing up by the book has saved the
lives of thousands of children for,
whereas, before mothers were
taught proper infant feeding,
about three in every 10 children
died at birth or during the first
year. Today only about one in 20
dies during this period.
The first great gain in extending
the life span began with the sav
ing of the lives of children by
proper feeding during their first
and second years.
In the Canadian Medical Associa
tion Journal, Dr. C. K. Rowan-
Legg, Ottawa, states what we all
seem to forget is that the child has
an emotional life as well as just
the physical, and needs more than
food to keep him healthy and
happy. “The feeding of infants
with a definite amount of food at
fixed intervals neglects the emo
tional side of the child’s life. Mod
em psychiatry feels that peace and
physical pleasure make a more
sound foundation for a stable per
sonality than does too early ex-

The infant is bom with three
needs—satisfaction of hunger, com
fort, affection. Food should be
given when It needs it and not
thrust upon it when it doesn’t need
it. "When the hunger rhythm or
time arrives and the infant is given
food, the amount of crying by the
child is greatly reduced, which
makes life easier for the mother.”
Your family doctor knows, as do
most mothers, that infants must do
a certain amount of crying to
stretch and strengthen the lungs,
so that If well fed and comfortable,
a little crying will do no barm.
Dr. Rowan-Legg points out that
some infants because of their
makeup or personality, need to be
fed at other than the regular four
hours, and if they are hungry at
three hour intervals and not at
four hours, the mother should tell
this to her doctor or children’s
specialist, who will make the nec
essary adjustments as to amount of
food and intervals between feed
