Smith got New York may be the happy war- sior of his party, but his Jefferson tiDay speech in Washington the other night sounded rather bitter. His ad- Scress lacked the warmth and cordial- pity of past utterances. Probably the Preturns from Nebraska, the home of the late lamented William Jennings ‘Bryan. did not please him. He cast. o% very black shadow over the political Path of Governor Franklin D. Roose- “velt. D> There could be no doubt in the mind of the leaders of Democracy whom Smith meant when he saic that he would pull off his coat and vest to fight any candidate for the presi- dency who made a demagogic appeal and sought to arraign class against. class. In a statement made recently Roosevelt hit at Smith's pet plan of ‘bonds to start the business machine in motion. He referred to it as merely a “stop-gap.” Evidently the criticism riled the happy warrior. He was not in good humor at the dinner. Roose- velt's political strategists kept their presidential entry away from the baleful influences of the Wash- ington pow-wow where such pres- idential aspirants as Smith, Byrd, 0/man was so great that witnesses 5.00 feared to testify against him and po- thought too fantastic even for fiction a few years ago. ‘We are shown how criminal activi- ties of every kind were integrated; how the nation’s second city paid millions upon millions of dollars in tribute annually to the country’s most notorious crook; how the power of the licemen hesitated to move against him. Then we get the climax. The great criminal at last is laid by the heels. And why? To answer for any one of the innumerable high crimes commit- ted by his agents? Not at all. Simply because he had failed to pay taxes on the enormous profits his illegal activ- ities had rolled up. Then, as if this were not farce- comedy enough, comes the revelation that the prosecutor and judge who ;were to try him agreed to let him down with a comparatively short sen- tence if he would plead guilty. This deal fell through because, as the prosecutor complained, Capone with “unbelievable arrogance” made public the terms of the deal. The “unbelievable arrogance,” of course, really consisted in making the deal in the first place. When he talked about it, Capone was not be- ing arrogant; he was simply being in- discreet. The whole picture is not pretty, but we need to keep looking at it. It 1s perhaps the most significant story that the republic has produced in the past decade. A Philippine Boycott? A dispatch from Manila to the New York Herald Tribune reports that the Philippine Civic Union, strongest of the insurgent Filipino political groups, is laying plans for a boycott of Amer- ican manufactures as a means of ex- pressing the islanders’ desire for com: plete and immediate independence.

Smith urges more public debt to force prosperity. He would forget the debts owed to ‘Uncle Sam for 20 years. For every million of trade these debtors give the United States, Smith would credit! twenty-five per cent of the bill on the war debts. This is new and fantas- tical, but it might be popular with in- dustrial centers. Economically, the plan has many obstacles.

The Penalty for Gerryman- dering on the matter as soon as possible. Gov. Ritchie was most vigorous in his views on prohibition. He has not modified his wet stand one iota anc ‘urges prompt action on the matter. ‘The Democrats face a most chaotic condition in domestic and world af- fairs. It is mot going to be easy to write a platform. Panaceas and com- mitments will be dangerous to pro- pose. As in the past, the platforms of both parties doubtless will be guarded in their terms. All Democrats speak- ing at the Jefferson Day festivities, urged the platform be short and in simple language and that no space be wasted lambasting Republicans. The speakers said their sins were too ob- vious to need any attention in the Democratic platform. ‘Millions believe the Democratic par- ty is a way out of present conditions. but at this writing their task of form- ulating @ constructive economic pro- gram is herculean. In the final an- alysis, the voters, if they decide to switch their favor to the followers of Jefferson, it will mean more or leas bor party and the Democratic party will profit, the extent of which no one can foretell. The gerrymandering bill that was vetoed by Governor Olson cut Minne- apolis up into fragments without any regard for our urban interests and without justice insofar as population was concerned. The regular Republi- cans from the rural districts were willing to parcel out Minneapolis and Hennepin county with a cynical indif- ference to our rights in the matter. Now we are faced with a free for ail election with the chances of success all in favor of the more notorious among the spellbinders. Candidates who have confined their political ac- tivities to congressional districts will carry a heavy handicap in the race. The Republican state and national ticket will suffer by reason of the hordes of aspiring congressional can- didates whose stock arguments will be the failure of the Republican party. The rural sections of the state wiil lose representation in congress to the three larger cities of the state. And all this is coming about because cer- tain interests in the state legislature were more interested in their individ- wal political welfare than they were in the political welfare of the state. The consoling fact in the whole bus- iness 1s that this confusion will be store fringe. Since that time, this little sport has been added to the rules of “how to be the life of the party.” Hawkers sell them at the commutation train sta- tions; sidewalk peddlers peddle them in mid-Broadway and a number of cigar stands in the swanky hotels earry them in stock. ee # Speaking of Whiskers Just the other night, the dignified Horace Green, publisher, changed the game slightly by greeting his guests at a home party while hiding about four inches of the walrus variety, to say nothing of a beard that would have made any member of the late Czar's guard envious. * * * STICKERS ~) oF THE HIGHEST POINT OF LAND ON THE GARTHS ‘SURFACE, COULD BB PLACED IN The Deepest ART OF THE OCEAN, AND (RS SUNT WOULD BE @ leap in the dark.

In the rush of clearing up his legal busi- ness, the new judge forgot about get- ting the severe black robe worn on the Manhattan bench. Almost on the eve of being sworn in, the judge called upon Jones for help. Nowhere, it appeared, could one find such a robe in the stores or shops. Finally a theatrical costumer was lo- ‘cated who happened to have a grand silken garment left from the court- room scene in “Madame X.” A hurried visit to a cleaners—and the judge was somberly arrayed for his oath. * e % The Pipes o’ Scripps Another odd search was that staged the other evening by Robert P. Scripps, of the Scripps-Howard news- Papers. It seems he wanted a bag- pipe, and he wanted it in a hurry, for he was gettingg ready to leave for a week-end with friends in the country. His host was a gent who had long boasted of his prowess as a bigpiper. Scripps had decided to call his bluff. It was not long until train time, and no bagpipe was on hand.

Increased Use of Fish as Food Is Urged By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association More than 80,000,000 pounds of fresh, frozen and smoked fish were produced in the United States in 1930. ‘It is estimated that 200,000,000 pounds of raw fish were necessary for the Preparation of these products. A report before the American Public Health Association emphasizes the fact that fish and shellfish have not occupied important places in the American diet, although for some Peoples and races they are the funda- mental dietary substance. In this country, fish is usually used on days that are meatless because of religious observance, and shellfish, such as oys- ters, clams, shrimp and lobster, are usually considered. Scientists who are attempting in these times to evaluate [ood sub- stances according to their basic con- stituents have found that fish and shellfish are rich in food values and contain many vitamin and mineral constituents that are necessary to the maintenance of health. In fat, pro- tein and mineral substances, fish com- Pere favorably with other meats. The number of calories per pound is greater in canned fish than in fresh fish. The flesh of the fish is particu- larly rich in mineral substances, in- ‘cluding phosphorus, maghesium, po- tasium, sodium, sulphur, chiorine, io- dine and other metals. ‘The oll of the fish, particularly cod liver oil, is rich in vitamins A and D, and the roe of most fish are also rich in vitamin A. *# % % The proteins in the flesh of the fish include all of those that are found to be necessary for growth and health in the human body. Of lat, special interest has attached to the amount of iodine in fish, because it is known that foods rich in iodine are of value in the prevention of simple goiter. It is found again that various fish! have differing quantities of iodine. The scallop is not rich in this sub- stance, whereas the clam is exceeding- ly rich. The soft crab is even poorer than the scallop, but the lobster ex- ceeds the clam. All of the fish from Public Health Association ooncludes that fish and shellfish are bell valuable in the diet because they of-| fer an easily digestible, nutritious food ‘with adequate protein, fat and, miner- al constituents, and in some instances yunts of the vitamins.

German assaults on British posi- tions near Merville, however, failed. Seven separate attempts were made during the day to storm the trenches held by the hard-pressed English soldiers. Meanwhile, definite announcement ‘from Paris was made of the appoint- ment of General Ferdinand Foch as commander-in-chief of all the Allied forces. This supplemented the earlier lannouncement, made during the great German drive in Picardy. Helsingfors, capital of Finland, was oceupied by German troops. Their advance into the city was unopposed.

BEGIN HERE TODAY SUSAN CAREY, 1 discourages th NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VII seFPULLo, there!” A throaty voice challenged Susan next day as she sat alone ip the small outer office. Looking up, she met the exaggeratedly long lashed brown eyes of a smal! blond girl in a skin tight frock of violent green. Girl, frock, makeup, all were cal- culated to arrest the eye of the be holder. Susan frankly stared. The blond hair was a tumbled mass of ringlets (a “permanent” of dubi- ous origin). A heavy, penetrating perfume emanated from the emall Person of the newcomer like a tangible essence. In the same husky mid-contralto the stranger continued, “Gotta sheet of carbon around that isn't workin’? I've just worn out my last one and I've gotta lease to make out in duplicate.” Susan smiled. Now she knew where she had seen that dandelion head before! Bending over the typewriter in the office across the way. She rose to get the carbon sheet, hoping as she did so that if Mr. Heath happened in he would not mind this artless interchange of courtesies. “Thanks a lot!” The yellow haired girl fluttered her mascaraed lashes. “Do somethin’ for you some day. My name's Flannery— ." She gestured to the door across the hall, lettered blackly, she offered hospitably. “Tie on the nose bag together. Know a good Place down on Adams street.” Susan said “All right” and the Flannery girl was gone as swiftly and suddenly as she bad appeared. For the next few days Susan was too busy learning the routine of the new office, finding out where sup- Plies were kept, typing Mr. Heath’s echolarly letters and reports and shyly asking questions of the rather. crabbed young bookkeeper to make any overtures of friendship toward Ray Flannery. eee On the second Monday the chrre an’semum-locked Miss Flan- nery appeared again.

He's a good num- ber. He'll put you wise.” “Jack Waring?” Susan was puzzled. Ray’s lips curled into an insin- wating sort of smile. “Ye-e-es, Jack Waring,” she mocked, “Heath’s assistant. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!” The two girls had reached the elevator now and wedged tightly into the crowded car, Ray could say no more. oe 8 of Mera following day Susan was initiated into the mysteries of copying a freshly typed letter con- cerning an important building es- timate into the old-fashioned book which Mr. Heath insisted on Aeeping. The quiet, rather sulky Pier- ‘son showed her how it was done. The cloth must be wrung out just 80, the transparent sheet adjusted, the letter slipped into place and blotting papers carefully placed behind it. Then the whole book | as swung into the press and an iron screw squeezed down. The day was to come when Su- san could follow this process in her sleep, 80 like mere child’s play it was to become to her, but dur- ing this first bewildering and troubled week it seemed a Gar- jgantuan labor. Further, she was rendered horribly nervous by the warnings and hints dropped by ‘the lugubrious Pierson. “The boss is mighty particular about this,” he told her heavily. “It has to be done exactly right.
