Where crops were harvested farm prices are high enough to bring substan- ual prosperity, All of these things are good. We can stand considerable} more of them. We are not yet on the high business and eco-| nomic plane that we ought to be. Not by a long shot. The prosperity immediately ahead for this nation is a sound pros- perity. @n this basis, it is rather like dragging a skeleton from the closet to mention the sorry days of 1929. But they do serve 4 purpose. They warn that a sound prosperity can be changed into an unsound one if people become too greedy. Most of all, if they TRY TO GET RICH WITHOUT WORKING. Very few people are smart enough to make money by trad- ing pieces of paper. Most folks can get ahead only by hard, faithful and persistent work and by careful saving and invest- ment. If they will remember that they will be better off. The rising stock market is a temptation. lFortunds MAY be made there. But the stock market is NOT A FOR EVERY FORTUNE IT MAKES IT TAKES ONE A For some reason or other, stock market profits hardly ever last: It is come easy, go easy. Anyone who has ever tried his hand at gambling knows that the money he wins is easily spent, whereas the money he loses is paid for by hard scraping. It is much the same with stock market profits, except that they sometinies fail to last long enough for the winner to spend them. These are things which may well be remembered on the anniversary of the 1929 tragedy. They indicate the advisability of investing a good deal nearer home than Wall Street. Even though the prospects may not be so lush, the final outcome prob- ably will be better. One of the troubles with stock gambling is that the pitfalls and perils are not so apparent as is the case with an investment where a man can learn all about it and make his own estimate of the hazards. That fateful October day seven years ago is not the day America headed for distress. That is only the day it began to realize that it had been headed for trouble all along. The real difficulty began when the people of America aban- doned the belief that hard work is the way to prosperity. If we have recovered that belief we have an. infinitely better chance for sound and lasting prosperity now than we had then. 50. *It would never do for a hot-tempered speaker to emulate the senator and debate with @ record, because of the temptation to break the disc if it - ‘The West Virginia boy who reads everything backward can either have his malady cured, or be a politician, whose audiences never know the dif- Reading of the thought, how does the finance company take back the caviar? food made of wood comes into general use, toothpick chewing will ‘When come under the head of eating between meals. the street when the ight is green, a pedestrian is in the right In fact, he may be dead right. | : lasioe sctdsite te haveie pact of the straw votes, tp tes Ape senyway.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Oct. 30.—One of the ;most interesting lale-campaign ru- mors said that on the eve of election | Republicans would publish a list of | about 2500 employes of the New Deal | administration, with the allegation | that they were Communists, \ One also has been hearing that the /e! Landon strategists had a last-minute trick up the sleeve with which the Republican candidate would take a | Strong pull at the heart-strings of the | voters, as distinguished from appeal {to their intellects. | That signifies a practically un- animous opinion among politicians that although few voters have intel- Jects they all have sentimental hearts. But by all odds the most effective | egy of the Republicans which | had a real chance to get into oper- ation before election has been an ap- | peal to the worker's pocketbook nerve. !This has been made through pay en- jvelop2 messages from employers which d be employe contributions to tho federal old-age benefits phase of the social security program as a | jublicans insist their efforts to Roosevelt with Moscow have ¢becn more effective among voters | than any other tactic, but Democratic aders refuse to agree with them Democrats are worrying about | “wage tax” attack, | * * How the Plan Works Despite millions of words written about the ial security act, it be- comes obvious that the bulk of citi- zens don't know what it's all about. | 1 of the pay envelope notices dis- j link {committe and other groups tend to has slyly imposed a tax on all wages. in order to pay for federal extrava- | gance, effective Jan. 1, What happens, is that, begin- ning in 1937, the government will | collect from employers a 2. per cent payroll tax, half to be taken | from employes wages and half from employer funds. i This tax will increase a total of 1 per cent each three years until in 1949 employer and employe will each be paying 3 per cent on everything up to $3000 of each employe's wages. In 1942 workers reaching 65 years of age will be paid benefits from the accumulated fund and | eventually the range of aiinuity payments will run from $10 to $85 a month, depending on the amount of the beneficiary's aver- age earnings and years of em- ployment before retirement, . Men with low incomes will get more for their money put in than men with higher incomes. It is estimated that about 26,000,000 employes will be affected. Beginning tn 1937, lump sum. payments amounting to 314 per cent of tolal wages earned after Jan. 1 will be paid to employes reaching 65 years and to survivors of those who die before benefit payments begin in 1942, in | * * } Paid Into Treasury i Employers, usually neglecting to, ¢ mention the equal tax they them-| t selves must pay toward the old age benefits of employes, assert, that the “pay deductions” will be paid into the general treasury fund. That happens to be true, Such provision was made in the act to meet possible constitutional objec- ions, It is: also provided that con- gress appropriate corresponding amounts to a reserve fund from | which benefits are to be paid, Employers warn that there's no guarantee congress will make such appropriation, Democrats retort that such a warning is an assault on the integrity and credit of the federa) government and that any congress- man who refused to vote for such ap- propriation probably would be lynched. * OK OK Returns Exceed Payments The old age benefit plan has been persistently attacked by experts. But one of the chief points made against {it is that it piles a heavy tax solely {on the poor—on the theory that em- ployers will pass their part on to con- sumers —and completely relieve the | Wealthier groups of their share in caring for the aged. This despite the fact that benefi- ciaries are sure to receive more than they pay over in taxes, Extent of the temporary political success of the effort to sour workers | on the New Deal by the pay envelope} attack on the social security act can- not now be judged. But it is quite conceivable that weaithy employers adopting this method are being so successful at stirring up the employes that they will eventually find them- selves paying through the nose. Although Landon would junk this old age pension plan. most observers concede that something will have to be done about old age pensions—and that it is likely to be something more rather than something less.

HOW THE BABY SLEEPS AND GROWS A healthy baby sleeps most of the time, grows all the time and eats in between times. The first few weeks the baby should sleep from twenty to twenty-two hours out re the twenty-four, in naps from two to three hours long except one long stretch of about five hours at night. The baby wakes only when hungry or uncomfortable. It is well to establish regular habit by waking the baby regularly at feeding time except the long stretch at night. Up to the age of six months the baby should sleep from sixteen to eighteen hours a day, the waking intervals being from half an hour to two. hours long. .At the age of one year the baby still requires fourteen to fif- teen hours sleep, and should be bathed, fed and tucked into bed for the night by 6 p. m. at the latest, better at 5 p. m. Let the baby have an unlighted room and reasonable quiet but do not hush-hush the household. Better to train the baby to sleep undisturbed by the ordinary sounds of the household. Never leave a lamp or light burning in the sleeping room. Train the baby to have no fear of the dark. Never rock or sit by the baby or use other means to coax sleep. It is all right for mother or nurse to croon a soft lullaby for a few moments by way of a good night. A quiet darkened room, a comfortable bed, a clean skin, a fresh clean dry napkin, a loose long nighty and a square meal are all a healthy baby requires to bring slumber. When the sleepy-timé meal is disposed of, the baby, already bathed, and in nighty, should be gently laid in bed, without anything. in mouth or hand. It is courting grief to cultivate the habit of holding something in the mouth or in the hand—and it is unfair to the baby to cultivate such neurotic habit. After the fourth month the baby should sleep all night from 10 p. m. to 6 a, m. without waking. If the baby does awaken after 10 p. m., do not take him up or feed him again. See that he is warm and dry, and let him cry it out. Otherwise your baby learns that he can regulate your life to suit his whims and you will never have any peace or comfort, for a baby is an | unconscionable tryant when he once learns he can have his way. If the nutrition is optimal and the sleeping habit is right, the baby grows ten inches in length the first year and three inches the second year. The birth weight is doubled in the first three months, trebled in the first eight months, and nearly quadrupled in the first year. Only the infants of intelligent parents or parents instructed by up-tovdate physicians achieve optimal nutrition. If your baby doesn’t it is because you have not paid at- tention to the advice’ that has been given here. The circumference of the baby’s head increases from 13% inches at birth to 17% inches at the age of a year. Remember, the sole business of the baby for a year is to eat, sleep and grow and the less you interfere with this business the better for the future health and happiness of the baby.
