It was a_ conservative speech, | eminently safe and sane. It had to be. Hoover was congratulating the voters on their judgment in electing a Republican administration for the last eight years. His was the voice of the party—the voice of the poker player who has nearly all the chips in front of him and is content to make no large, rash bets. “After eight years of Republican- | ism,” he said in effect, “you are happy and prosperous. ‘The farmer isn’t as prosperous as the rest of us, but we'll take care of him all right.) The next Republican administration is going to be bigger and better than; ever and we're all going to be hap-| pier and more prosperous. You| know you can trust us. Don’t listen to those Democrats. You can’t trust them as you can trust us.” | ‘Assuming that there is no wide) discontent among us and assuming; that the hope of adding a glass of eer to the other blessings enum-| erated by Mr. Hoover does not sway an unexpectedly large section of the electorate, it becomes obvious that the G. O. P. position is strong. Per-| haps the Democrats would have| made just as good a record and we} would all have had jobs and made| just as much money, but where is: a really cogent argument for a change? It simply must be pro- duced if Smith is to reduce the odds against him. How to convince us |that we will, in some way or other, be better off under the Democracy? Two issues, after Hoover's speech, continue to stand out importantly: farm relief and prohibition. On these two issues, each party is di- vided. On neither can either can- didate point to an impressive rec- ord. Here again enters the offen- > WHO 0- H00.o4 0. ‘wi THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE } \ sive and defensive strategy forced respectively on Democrats and Re- publicans. Both Smith and Hoover can make promises, but Smith is also in a position to attack. Promises Enforcement As for prohibition, Hoover prom- ises honest enforcement; mitn promises to try to obtain modifica- tion of the law. On agriculture, both promise better times for the farmers, but it is up to Smith to make the more alluring promises. In both cases, however, Smith is able to attack the opposition party on the basis of its record. Whether Hoover might consent to some mild sort of Volstead Act modification is still not quite clear. “Grave abuses have oc- curred which must be remedied,” he said. Whether he meant abuse in the law’s enforcement or abuse of the law through viola- tion may be a point of argument. But the most that any wet can wring from his speech is the pos- sibility that Hoover might not ob- ject to a more liberal interpretation of “intoxicating” than is contained in the present half-of-one-per_cent limit of alcoho! in beverages. There is no ncurishment for the wets in ‘the fact that he pointed out that the Constitution might be altered in the constitutional way. A small minor- ity can block that. One hardly expected to find un- usual frankness in such a speech, but Hoover displayed a certain straightforwardness that is not to be found among the Fesses, Smoots and Binghams of his party. He admit- ted that there had been corruption— “in both parties.” He attributed our economic progress in the last eight years to his party more by implication than by inference. Didn't ‘ laim Everything He made no bold claims for credit obviously undeserved. He did not pretend that his party’s record on agriculture and _prohibi- tion enforcement was anything to whoop about. Nor did he, strangely enough, pile upon the Democrats the blame for the “critical conditions” | OUR BOARDING HOUSE - By Ahern | WNT SH-H-Hy WHATS AT \ - MISTAH MASOR 2 \ wee MAN, @ "AT \ S< SOUNDS To ME = \ LAK A GHosT!(+2 aur UM-M* TOMORROW AT SUNRISE You'LL SEE ME Do” A MARATHON RUN OUT N OF DIS YERE \ LANDSCAPE WN aN Fo" Home! we X A KNEE RATILING eT 4 ~ Me -THAT MACHINE GUN UNDER THE Yet perhaps not so strangely, as Hoover himself was part of that last Democratic administration. Avoiding some basic national problems, he nevertheless displayed an acute understanding of those on which he touched, notably as con- cerned agriculture. Republicans are still cheering the speech and Democrats are hooting at it. The truth probably is that speech as anyone could have expect- ed. It won’t gain many votes, but it won’t lose many, either. {UINNEW York | er ee New York, Aug. 15.—Manhattan offers no experience quite so plezs- ing as that of coming upon, quite by accident, some reminder of “the old home town.” I have in mind at the moment a patch of fragrant Indian grass, to ‘be found at the far end of Bronx Park. And I have in mind a chorus of crickets that chirp therein. Don’t laugh! There are people in New York who never heard a cricket chirp and who can’t tell the aroma of Indian grass from that of helio- trope water. I_can remember a time when crickets, frogs and other sleep dis- turbers made summer nights more |hideous than they were. I can re- jmember when the old Michigan |home seemed to have been surren- \dered to a giant minstrel show, with |bone clappers going full tilt. That {reminds me—I wonder if kids still hang around the back doors of butcher shops trying to get ribs for| “minstrel clappers?” | * But now, after a day of trip- hammers and elevated roaring and subway jarring, the sound of chirp- ing crickets is as soothing as a lullaby. And the aroma of Indian grass, after a day of city smells, is like a conclave of all the imaginable at- tars. And, of a hot summer night, you can find clusters of folk from “back in the states” filling their lungs full of “sweet grass” and lying lazily upon a hillside to listen to the jericket orchestra. | On such a night, as your car runs along the Hudson on its way to the “cricket field,” there is an endless ‘QUIET, SASON ay wm GULP.

Even at the bathing beaches the boys had to wear bath- ing suits with at least quarter- length sleeves, and trunks that reached to the knees. The girls were compelled by the bathing beach ordinances to also wear stockings and some kind of queer bloomer suits, Maybe this was why the girls did not learn to swim much in those days. Certainly at that time our skins were starved for the health-giving rays of the, sun, with its beneficent ultraviolet vibrations. The change to the simple one- piece bathing suit started on the Pacific coast, but now within the last few years the custom has spread all over America so that those with the old fashioned suits by the yardage look queer on any American bathing beach. The sum- mer sun which wv formerly shut off from our bodies now gets in its good work. This is unquest one of the reasons why such d as tuberculosis are being prevented and overcome, and in a fetes meas ure, for the f life is now over fifty- creased inte: door games have also p part, but our change to sensible clothing has undoubtedly had a marked influence, The girls now in the summer wear as little as one or} two pounds of clothing, and as the shoes usually weigh a half pound, you will see that there is now a vast difference between the weight and type of cloth used in dr than at of ten or twenty years ago.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs, J. H. asks: “What causes headaches on top of the head, and is tea bad for one’s nerves? I always notice I am more nervous after drinking tea. Is buttermilk good for one?” Answer: Headaches at the top of head frequently come from or some form of bladder tation. I do not consider a mod- erate amount of tea drinking bad for the nerves, but find that nerveus people seem to like to drink hot drinks, they feel more quisted afterwards. Buttermilk is a good food, but should not be sidered merely as a “drin! should be used as a meal, and not in addition to other foods, Question: Mrs. R.
