(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEWYORK BOSTON Campaign Warms Up i President Hoover struck back mili- tantly at his critics in his Des Moines speech. ‘There was nothing essen- tially new in what he said, but the manner of utterance reflected a can- didate thoroughly stirred to the po- litical necessity of fighting back. * Franklin D. Roosevelt's attacks were met in a spirited manner but it is doubtful whether any of the middle west farmers will return as prodigals to the party of high tar- iffs and protected vested interests in times of acute depression. Mr. Hoover gave an excellent Re- publican speech. It had more of the old flavor of the harangue of the hustings. Short pungent sentences with some quiet humor revealed a new style for Hoover, whose speeches in the past have been labored, studi- ous and somewhat involved. Despile the fact that Roosevelt and Garner have both definite! posed of the sound money commitments to the gold standard, Mr. Hoover sought to put the stigma @f inflated currency and the unsound} dollar at the door of the Democratic] party. He indirectly referred to the Democrats as sponsors for an in- flated currency and resorters to printing presses and greenbacks. Probably the most dramatic portion of his speech and on which few will disagree except the followers of Coin Harvey, candidate of the Liberty party, was his defense of the geld standard. Sound money is a very definite pledge in both Republican and Democratic platforms of 1932. | x oe ® On the tariff there is a direct issue} which will set farmers to thinking. Mr. Hoover very frankly stated that the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill left) much to be desired, but he declared its inadequacies could be adjusted by the federal tariff commission. He dodged completely the charge that while agriculture receives a modicum Of protection, industrialists got the lion's share and caused tariff re- prisals from other countries. Mr. | Hoover did not explain either that the Democrats voted for many of the schedules in the Hawley-Smoot| tariff act which protect the Ameri- can farmer against foreign compe-| tition. It is well known to all Students of the tariff that the Dem- cratic party has moved away from Sts traditional stand upon the tariff insofar as agriculture is concerned. Their chief constituencies below the Mason and Dixon line want tariff protection now as much as the} north. | While probably many farmers will} mot turn away from Republican | principles of protection, millions now are not afraid of the Democrats on| the tariff issue. Generally speaking| ‘She Hawley-Smoot tariff is not popu-| “lar with agriculture because it failed sto give the farmers what President -Hoover promised in his acceptance -Speech of 1928, which was parity with Y cased industry. Mr. Hoover's Des ‘Moines speech did not treat in a gomparative way rates established by {that iniquitous measure fathered by ‘Benator Grundy and the high pro- jonists of the east. ] 7 * oe * % Mr. Hoover defended his farm board on the broad premises that it (had aided cooperatives to function (during @ period of financial strin- ¢Bency.

In two phases of his address, Mr. | Hoover spoke with definiteness and power and challenged an inherent weakness in the Democratic leader- ship which must be Gorrected. These barrel legislation and the bonus pay- j cratic house and defeated by a Re- publican senate. issues which will develop as the cam- paign progresses. Bound up in the bonus demands in this national stringency is the issue of a sound currency. The one cannot be extri- cated from the other. President Hoover, despite the unpopularity of it, is sound in opposition to the bonus payment at this time. But, on the {other hand, Republican congresses have repeatedly passed bonus meas- pot calling the kettle black. xe * As for the Garner pork barrel measure, Republican challenges come of course in rather bad faith. Early in the depression, President Hoover proposed a program of public build- ing which compared favorably with the Garner measure. Both parties have craved pork barrel appropria- tions. That shortcoming cannot be | placed exclusively at the door of the Democratic party. Early in the de- pression, Mr. Hoover asked great corporations to launch construction programs promising to match it with government activities along the same lines in order to reduce the bread line and cut down the number of un- employed. Mr. Hoover was firmly told that such an inflation in busi- ness enterprise would be bad for gov- ernment as well as for business and the scheme was abandoned. Few presidents, however, have embarked the government in more expenditures for questionable ventures than Mr. Hoover. The stupendous growth of bureaus, commissions and confer- ences is a factor which may bring about his defeat despite his aca- demic soundness upon economic is- sues. * * * Mr. Hoover doubtless draws too dark a picture of national calamity Should the Democrats come into power. Here he speaks as the con- ventional politician, a role he has most studiously shunned until jarred into action following returns from the Maine election. Whether Roose- veit wins or not, it is practically as- sured that the Democrats will con- trol both the house and the senate. Canvasses to date indicate that this control cannot be wrested from the} Democrats. Mr. Hoover, if elected, | will have little left but his veto Power.

They still re- member of his discovery, not so long { ago, of prosperity just around the! corner and the outlawing of poverty under a Republican label. Many Hoover lacks some skill and much authority in such a crisis as this. But he still persists in prophecy. There is a defeatist spirit in his own political camp which his lead- ership cannot dispel easily. The na- tion will wait with deep interest, re- action to the Des Moines speech.

LET THAT DOWN ALONE | In 1925 you published an article (a young woman writes) in which you maintained that it was perfectly all right for women to shave super- fluous hair; that shaving wouldn't increase the growth. | I deny the allegation. What I did maintain in 1925 and in other years is that it is all right to shave the hair from the armpits with a little ‘safety razor designed for the pur- pose, ‘The young woman goes on to say that in spite of her mother’s remon- strances she began shaving the down from her legs. She says she set such great store by my opinion, and at that time she was just a young girl. Today, she avers, she is very un- happy about the heavy hair growth on her legs. It has closed to her several things she could have done to earn her livelihood, such as the stage, modeling and so forth, for she is beautifully built. Now her whole life is warped, etc. etc. I have warned girls scores of times against beginning to remove the down that covers every woman's skin. This down is noticeable if the girl scrutinizes her skin too closely, but it is noticeable to her only. Rarely will it become heavy enough to be noticeable to others, if the girl has the good sense to leave it alone. But probably either shaving or the use of chemical solvents in depilatory preparations stimulates the down to heavier growth, and so does the un- necessary application of chemicals in skin bleaches, tan color, and other cosmetics, Electrolysis is still the best means we have to destroy coarse hairs, The woman discernment will seek such treatment only from a responsible physician or an operator sponsored by a physician. Sometimes the wo- man may be her own electrolysis op- erator, after instruction by her phy- siclan; the simple dry cell, sponge electrode and needle holder should not cost more than a dollar or two. X-ray treatment is sometimes used for destroying tufts of coarse hairs, as in certain moles. So far as I know, responsible physicians do not attempt to use X-ray for the treat- ment of superfluous hair on the face or other parts of the body, because it is not safe enough for such use over a large area of skin. I need not warn intelligent readers against sub- mitting to any treatment which is offered as a modified X-ray method | by others than reputable physicians. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ulcerated Tooth Why should a person be careful of an ulcerated tooth? This is to settle a_dispute between two friends— (T. JD Answer—“Ulcerated tooth” is the popular name for abscess about the root of a tooth. The earlier such abscess is drained the better the chance to save the tooth and the life of the patient. Let the dentist decide whether to establish drainage by immediate incision through gum, drilling through root of tooth or ex- traction of tooth. The chief danger is “waiting for the inflammation to subside.” Never poultice the jaw— that practice favors external drain- age of the abscess and a hideous scar.

(Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) ee A NOTE OF TRAGEDY New York, Oct. 6—Somehow the New York press overlooked a four- line want-ad in a recent Sunday newspaper. It read: “For sale — Richard Mans- field's home. Ten acres; 20 rooms; six baths. Suitable terms. Inquire Mrs. Richard Mansfield, New London, Conn.” xe OK ; ‘This, then, becomes a depression- time epitaph to a stage tradition which will never die. Some four years ago, in the course of reporting, I found myself in the vast living room of the Mansfield home. It might well have been a Mansfield museum, since the widow had preserved hundreds of costumes and bits of stage properties. A cou- ple of knightly armors stood guard at the front door. Here, upon the wall, hung the costume of a Lear; there was a gauntlet and hose; the tights of a Hamlet; the beard of a Shylock. Crested pennants and coats- of-arms; yards of tapestries, swords, daggers, belts—all the accoutrements of the great actor. “This was his favorite retreat,” the widow said softly, as we went from room to room. But there was one room on the second floor held sacred. It was the bedroom of the great Richard, done in a deep red and filled with inti- mate possessions. Outside were landscaped acres; fountains and tiny lakes; walks and well-trimmed hedges and gardens. Even then, Mrs. Mansfield was wor- ried. The place had to be kept up. ‘The income had slipped away. She would have to go back to the stage. ‘Well, she could troupe again, she said—could and would! Had she not been Beatrice Cameron, Mansfield's leading lady as well as his wife? She had been Nora, in the early presen- tation of Ibsen's “Doll's House.” She spoke of a little theater group | she might join, and of other stage activities. Someone told me later that, one by one, many of the Mans- field treasures had been sold. ‘Now the home of one of the world's greatest actors must go—and “at suitable terms.” I wonder who will live there and if it will be ever so slightly haunted! * * * One of the best Mansfield collec- tions, by the way, is in the upper room of ,the Players’ club. Here are gathered costumes, programs, bill- ings, stage pictures and thousands of minor items. Folk from over the world drop in for a view. But few ever made their way to the estate, several miles out of New London, which fairly bristled with memories. * * * A HUMAN SINGER Mme. Frances Alda, famed Metro- politan Opera voice of a few years back, occupies a suite far up in the neck of the Waldorf Hotel so that she “will not have any neighbors to bother.” Among all the operatic lights I have encountered, Mme. Alda re- mains the “best scout” and the art- ist most attuned to the realities of American life. Recently she decided to hold classes for young singers with real talent. But if they have no vo- cal possibilities, she will not kid them. She'll probably say, right out loud, that they're “lousy’—or she might make it “hopeless.” * OK Although divorced for several years from the colorful Gatti-Cassazza, who directs the Met's affairs, they remain good friends and dine to- gether at times.

Seneath that friendly, suave person- ality there seemed for an instant to lurk the stark, cold enmity of a killer. Ted could not describe it and never afterward could he be~sure that it was more than the tension of aigh-pitched nerves.
