A SMASHING VICTORY Herbert Hoover has won a smashing victory for the presidency, The American people have ‘endorsed the policies of the Republican party in general and the sterling ability of Herbert Hoover in particular. The farmers of the United States did not revolt. Farm relief, modification of the Volstead Act, revision of the tariff and other issues featured by the Democrats failed to impress the American voters. For the most part the farmers and the city voters joined in a rousing endorsement of Mr. Hoover, feel- ing that he possessed qualifications that made him a more efficient leader for the crisis that faces the nation than Gov. Smith, Alfred E. Smith put up a valiant fight against ter- rific odds. He met the issues manfully and went down to defeat but not ignominiously. Prosperity, except in agricultural centers, impressed the voters of the great industrial centers; confidence that Hoover could bring a betterment in agrarian con- ditions kept the western and the middle western farm- ers in the Republican party. on The women of the nation rallied to Herbert Hoover, a figure they idealized during the war; a personality which lost none of their allegiance during his seven- and-a-half years of service as a cabinet official. Affairs of the nation are in competent hands. Few men have entered the presidency better equipped and with a greater knowledge of foreign and domestic problems. There is every evidence that an era of good feeling will set in as the result of yesterday’s most emphatic verdict. Few seasoned political observers ever doubted the election of Herbert Hoover. With the exception of some discontent in the agricultural regions, the voters generally as reflected in yesterday’s verdict, were satis- fied to let well enough alone. Unemployment is not acute, wages have not sagged and many other con- ditions were ripe for the kind of a Republican victory which the American people registered Tuesday. Some bitterness and rancor remain as an aftermath, Bis- N. D. and entered at the postoffice at Bis- 0 | through the streets where the makers of millions once tion fell to a net total of something like $50,000 a year, and the population dwindled to a scant 75. Now Los Angeles and San Francisco capitalists are taking a hand. Old diggings will be worked over, and it is believed that the golden stream will flow once more. These old boom towns of the far west are immensely interesting. They were interesting in their heyday, teresting in their decline, when jackrabbits scampered walked; interesting in their occasional revival, when a new generation tries to restore the old-time glory. The west has been a land of dreams, anyway. For a century it has been the promised land to great multi- tudes of people. New England farmers, tired of strug- gling with rock soil and harsh winters, loaded their goods into creaking wagons and followed the setting sun, sure that somewhere—in Oregon, Wyoming, Colo- rado or California—they would find kinder skies and richer land. With them went similar hopefuls from Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, the midwest, meet- ing dangers and hardships without protest, confident that El Dorado lay just beyond the western horizon. Some of them found it, of course, and some of them didn’t. There were gold mines and rich farm lands, and there were failures and disappointments, Some of the pioneers’ towns became rich cities like Seattle San Francisco, Portland, Denver; and some of them became boom towns like Bodie, which burned brightly for a while and then flickered low, But the dream persisted. It underlies all American thought, all American ideals. Buried beneath our typical “booster” spirit is the unspoken conviction that America is to be different and finer than.any other place; the unexpressed dream of the pioneers, that we shall build cities and towns and an open country- side where every man and woman can have a chance for the good things in life, and where the troubles of the ages can be overcome. The episode of the town of Bodie brings it to mind It is a good thing for us to remember. For it is our heritage and our responsibility. SECRET BORROWING = There should be a law against a husband borrowing without the knowledge of his wife, and similar restric- tion should be put on the womenfolk, thinks the man- ager of a loan association. Well, now how about that? Some of the most won- derful surprises of married life are sprung because one member of the team drives up in a new Ford, or because there is a fine gold watch on the Christmas tree. On the other side of the slate, there is many and many a heartache because a man is found to have bor- rowed so deeply that the wealth he is supposed to have accumulated simply isn’t there when his affairs are settled. The making of a loan for a secret purpose without the knowledge of one’s life partner, generally bespeaks distrust. And domestic discord over financial matters can have no more fertile breeding soil. The best way, after all, is for married people truly to live as one. That’s what they get married for. EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING If the repetition of a slogan with increasing em- phasis year after year has had any noticeable effect in the formation of a commendable habit this is the time when evidences of early Christmas shopping should manifest themselves. Every available device for memory jogging is being pressed into service. Circulars, posters, advertisements and letters bear the admonition “Do Your Christmas Shopping Now.” but the good sportsmanship of Al Smith and his asso- ciates will soon smooth away that. Probably no presi- dent since Theodore Roosevelt has entered the White House with the acclaim and affection that Hoover will| have, The nation now can settle down to a study of vital problems in full confidence that the Republicans have Jearned some lessons as the result of this campaign to the end that the farmers who refused to be attracted by Democratic promises find substance in the solemn pledges made by Republican leaders in this campaign. ‘ REALLY NO GREAT MEN? “There are no great men,” says the modern biogra- pher. “The men that we call great were simply products of circumstance, Forces beyond their control lifted them up.” The modern psychologist agrees. “No man is master of his fate,” he says. “Our lead- ers are mere puppets of destiny.” This attitude is quite the thing nowadays. But if it depresses you here are two recently-printed books that will help you to get a different outlook. ‘One of them is William McFee’s “Sir Martin Frobish- er;” the other is “The Splendid Renegade” (John Paul Jones) by John Herries McCullough. One doubts if either Frobisher or Jones would have assented to the propostion that he was made great by circumstances beyond his control. Frobisher, you remember, was one of the great British seamen who broke the Spanish armada, And McFee’s book gives an amazing picture of the feat. Frobisher, with Drake, Hawkins and Howard, fought the armada without support. They lacked money,| food, ammunition and men. Queen Elizabeth had vast stores of powder in London, and huge caches of gold and jewels; but she sent her fleet out, almost destitute, to fight the world’s greatest navy. Reading the story one feels that it was inevitable that the Spaniard should triumph. But Frobisher and his colleagues were victorious. By sheer daring, bluff, seamanship and tenacity they There can be no doubt that many of the objectionable features of late Christmas buying in recent years through application of this slogan have very materially been eliminated. The early shopper needs no proof that he is benefiting others by his prompt attention to Christmas buying.

Some of our best orators are going to be very sore, and there’s no place like Con- gress to.unload a burdened. breast, The new president isn’t likely to be as comfortable as Coolidge has been. . . . Some of the bolters have laid themselves open to possible pun- ishment, which they are likely to get, in or out of Congress. Jim Reed, for whom the next ses- sion of the Senate will be his last, is feeling pretty sour:on a lot of things. He hated Hoover with such cordiality that the Democratic man- agers cautioned him rather emphat- ically, whereat Jim became more dis- gusted than ever. Nobody can kick up more excitement locally than Jim and it’s hard to believe that he’ll let the next session pass without a dem- grateful for the relief afforded by spreading out the holiday shopping season. Postal workers are equally grateful for the extension of the rush season and the advancement, of eleventh-hour mailing of Christmas packages, Editorial Comment | A MEMORIAL TO LOGAN (Newark Star-Eagle) Illinois is preparing to erect a statue of Gen. John A. Logan in Murphysboro, Ill, his birthplace, The statue is an heroic figure of the general astride a horse. The legislature appropriated $15,000 for the memorial, which will be erected upon the grounds of the high school here. Affectionately known as “Black Jack,” Logan was one of the most picturesque figures of the Civil war and the period of reconstruction that followed. He was born Feb. 9, 1826, Logan was a Democrat and a follower of Lincoln’s principal opponent, Stephen A. Douglas, but, after Lincoln was elected and there were threats that he would not be permitted to take office, Logan took down the musket he carried in the Mexican war and announced his readiness to shoulder it and pro- ceed to Washington to help prevent any interference with the inauguration. reafter, Lincoln had no more loyal supporter. THE NEWSBOY, A MERCHANT (Utica Observer-Dispatch) 4 It has always been more or less an American tra-; dition that the newsboy is a poor, fatherless young chap who supports a widowed mother and, probably, a sister or two by the pennies he makes selling papers. Now comes the census department to announce that very few newsboys are in this class. Most of them come from good homes, it says, and are not driven to selling papers by hard necessity. : i It is @ good thing for us to recognize this. The newsboy is an ambitious young business man, putting in his spare time wisely and profitably. He is learn- onstration of his old time fervor. Someone is reasonably sure to squirm, eee Funny thing how both Republicans and Democrats will claim a state by large majorities just before election. Funnier still how many of them be lieve their own claims. Headquar- ters officials can only rely on what they hear from the boys on the ground. There’s no penalty for be- ing wrong, insofar as the national organization is concerned. What political parties need are better forecasters, who will give them what Al Smith called the real lowdown, so they can know where the real money and effort must be spent. Trouble with lots of boys on the scene is that they find their states very doubtful until they’ve re- ceived all the funds they can milk’ from national headquarters, where- after they become confirmed opti- mists, Well, anyway, Al Smith is prob- ably the only one who came near breaking up a poker game in the Na- tional Press club, Whenever he spoke most of the players dashed out ‘NEXT -To ~TH’ Lost SSH ( WASHINGTON : LETTER. Sp to the main lounge to hear him on the radio. Fifty or sixty members were generally found listening to Smith, principally because they en- joyed it. Democrats claimed that a poll of press gallery members went 2 to 1 for Smith. | Modern young women smoking cigarets are accepted nearly every- where, but not at the Walter Reed veteran's hospital. Disabled war vet- erans, who have not quite kept up ith the trend of things since they sailed away to war, will have none of them. To them, one learns, sight of a woman smoking means that the lady isn’t quite what she should be. Hence Red Cross and nursing work at Walter Reed has to be confined among those who don’t smoke or who can do +it clandestinely. Twenty debutantes, out there for the first time, held a smoking party on a piazza while waiting for in- structions—and so lost their useful- ness. Smith wound up his campaign looking better than Hoover. The if the dealing be a bit shady, who keeps the modern day gold-brick toes Tomatoes are an acid fruit of the tomato bush, which, along with po- tatoes and tobacco, is related to the nightshade family. When firat in- troduced to Europe, tomatoes were known the “love apple” because it was considered that one could commit suicide by eating them. They -|were only used for ornamental pur- poses. Tomatoes grow best in warm cli- mates, the plant being a native of the new world, having been culti- vated in Mexico and South America centuries before the Spanish con- quest. Although at one time con- sidered unfit to eat, tomatoes are now esteemed as one of our most valuable protective foods against disease. An analysis of the fruit shows that it is very alkaline-form- ing and is rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, chlorin, and vita- is A, B, and C. Tomatoes are one of the foods that can be canned and yet retain their vitamin value. Since tomatoes contain large quan- tities of malic and citric acids, they should not be eaten with any starchy foods, but they do make good com- binations with either meat, fish, or non-starchy vegetables. The organ- ic acids do not increase the acidity of the body since they are oxidized by the liver and release the basic salts which make the blood more alkaline. People with rheumatism or gout sometimes believe that they should not eat tomatoes, but this is a mis- take. Tomatoes are very good foods to use in these diseases, but of course, only in the right combina- tions. The United States now uses the most tomatoes per capita, with Italy following a close second. In Canada and northern Europe most of the tomatoes consumed are of the canned merchant alive. Many a racketeer has been out-racketed by a more clever manipulator. It’s a game of cheating the cheaters and may: the last and best cheat win! Some interesting types have been developed, apparently. There was, for instance, the fellow who be- came known as “Petie ‘the Priest,” and who affected clerical robes and a most holy attitude. He practiced this role so long that, even after he had tossed aside his disguise, he couldn’t pass a church without bend- ing a knee, a The lingo used by the practition- ers is something unto itself, though a few expressions have crept into general slang. “The puff peddler,” for instance, is the fellow who gets your name into print, with something nice at- tached. He is, oftimes, the same fellow who used to keep names out of print for a little blackmail cash. The, blackmail, game became too dangerous. ‘One editor did a prison stretch for getting out a Broadway tattle-tale sheet that printed things when the. necessary money wasn't forthcomin; Today a number of “puff-sheets,” the sole income from which is “shake down,” are issued.

York, Nov. 7.—The visiting yokel may have been the prey of the old gold-brick man, but the racketeer doesn’t waste his time on an Uncle Josh. He’s after the “smart city fellers.” The business of selling the Wool- worth building, the Brooklyn bridge and the city hall has long since gone into the discard, From John O’Connor, who knows about such matters from his study of the modern racket boys, I’ve learned a lot about the latest meth- ods of eee rating a sucker from his nor sent me a copy of roadway Racketeers,” day.

A huge order for liquor is given— something in the neighborhood of| $50,000, for instance. Instructions are given to’ deliver “the goods” to a certain warehouse. A portion of the sum is paid down to seal the bargain. But within a few minutes of delivery “the goods” are being taken out by other trucks and sent to new destinations.

Serve hot with a lump of butter and a little chopped parsley on each tomato. Stuffed Tomato Salad : Peel and remove the centers from large firm tomatoes. If the toma- toes are plunged into boiling water and allowed to remain for about one minute the skins will slip off very easily.

At preseng I am on one and I wish that in the fu- ture you would mention that ice cream diet is just as good, so my mother would try it.” Answer: You just keep on watch- ing my weekly menus which are pub- lished in this column every Friday, and you will learn how to use ice cream properly. iow these menus to your mother and you will be sure to get ice cream at least once a week. Ice cream is one of our best foods but you would soon tire of it as a steady diet. Falling Hair Question: M.A. E. asks: “Would you give the treatment for falling hair? I am eighteen years old and have just recovered from scarlet fever. Do you think this is the cause?” Answer: Undoubtedly the fever you have just had is responsible for the loss of hair which you have at the present time. Keep your hair cut ‘short and bathe the head daily in cold water or treat the scalp by applying ice for several mintites each day. This will help reestab- lish circulation of blood to the scalp, but you must expect to lose consider- able hair before the new, strong hair grows in, Goitre Question: Mrs, A. M. asks: (1) “How can a goitre be cured? Mine isn’t very noticeable and doesn’t bother me much, but I am afraid jt will later on in life. (2) I have backache all the time—seems to be in my spine. This seems to affect my brain, as I can’t think fast enough.” Answer: (1) The different forms of goitre can be cured by strict diet. I will be glad to send you instHic-- tions if you will only send me your request, with a large, stamped, self- addressed envelope. (2) I would advise you to have an examination by some physician who understands manipulatjve treatment of the spine. He will doubtless be able to tell you what is causing your trouble. o—_—____—_—_———_4 | BARBS | _ With the election over all the people who are sorry to have the ner litical speeches over the radio dis- continued can hold a convention in some centrally located telephone oth, see o Honduras elected a new president without bloodshed.
