The Personal Question Now that Edward VIII of England has become plain David Windsor, an exile from the country where he once was the nominal ruler, interest will swing not only to his successor on the throne but to the future course of the romance which has shaken the world’s greatest empire. The interested public—and this includes nearly everyone— will carefully observe whether or not Mr. Windsor marries the girl for whom he gave up one of the world’s choicest positions and—if so—how they will get along after that. There are some who fear that the rose of romance may turn to ashes all too soon for this strange man who was first the Empire’s greatest salesman, then its ruler for a brief period and who now is not even a citizen. It would be easier to make a better guess as to the future if one had a better understanding of this siren-like woman whose charm was sufficient to make Mr. Windsor give up the throne that he might marry her. If one knew just why her two previous marriages failed he might make an estimate as to whether Mr.) Windsor would make a satisfactory husband where the other two were not, for, no matter what the court records show, the} fact seems to be that Mrs. Simpson tired of both her soldier | husband and her broker consort. The fact that they so obligingly let her go suggests the thought too, that she might be more satisfactory as a sweetheart than as a wife. Some women are that way. They can catch ’em| but they can’t hold ’em. If the path of true love never runs smooth this romance is| the real article insofar as the recent king is concerned, but what | will he think 10 years from now—or 20. Will it last? There’s | the rub. It is the real question in any marriage. Break for Everybody Everyone who has ever turned up his nose at rancid butter knows there is a difference between that and the fine product which has made the dairy industry one of the greatest in the| world. The same thing holds true with regard to other farm prod- ucts. Most people are willing to pay for a good article if they can afford it and they resent nothing so much as paying the stand- ard price for something below the standard in quality. For that reason consumers are expected to respond en- thusiastically to the present government program of establishing grades on most of the things the farmer sells. The competent farmer will welcome the movement also. Jt means more money for him. When turkeys, for example, are sold simply as turkeys he gets too little premium for fine auality birds as compared with those in worse condition which have received less feed and care. Beef is not just beef. It is either the kind which a man likes to eat or the kind which causes him to arch an inquiring eyebrow at his wife. Complicating the matter is the loss of skill on the part of housewives in selecting the good from the bad and the change in purchasing habits. Some women still visit the stores but many busy women do their buying by telephone. They don’t know what they are getting until they open the package de- jivered at their door. Food dealers, too, find the situation a problem. They have no desire to sell inferior goods at regular prices but, since there is no publicly understood premium on quality goods, they must find a way to market the bad with the good. Only in the case of nationally-advertised brands can cus- tomer and seller deal on the basis of complete understanding. The quality of such articles usually is high because no one can afford to advertise an inferior product. To eliminate arguments beween buyer and seller, grain and some other farm products long have been handled on the basis of government grading. Extension of the same system to bene- fit the retail trade is proving popular. For example, officials of Armour and company who were here for the opening of their new creamery and turkey packing plant, privately expressed the opinion that, within the near future, all butter will be sold on the basis of established govern- ment grades. Traders in butter have had these standards for a Jong time. Only the consumer has been ignorant. His only protection has been to buy by brand, even though he knows that products packaged under a brand name may vary in quality. During the last year grading of turkeys, butter and saus- age, to mention only a few items, has become common and the movement is spreading. Within the next few years housewives will be able to order by grade. When they do they will be better satisfied and so, probably, will be both the producers and distributors. Popular-Priced Music Ten-cent seats for a concert by one of the world’s finest symphony orchestras have a strange sound. But they are in prospect for the music lovers of Philadelphia, next month, For the Philadelphia orchestra is going to give a great con- cert, for the benefit of charity, in Convention Hall, and 6,000 of the hall’s 15,000 seats will be sold for a dime apiece. The other prices will run from 25 cents to $1. Behind Scenes Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec. 11.—Vice President John Nance Garner did the uupreced- ented in endorsing Congressman Sam Rayburn of Texas for the House floor leadership, because Roosevelt wanted him to, because Rayburn is his old and close friend, and because Garner felt sure his public declaration would have the effect of cinching Rayburn’s vic- tory. Mr. Garner is not given to sticking his neck out. He operates on the theory that vice presidents should be seen as little as possible and heard not at all. So it required plenty of motfvation to cause him to inject himself publicly into a situation which technically and theoretically is an affair solely of the House—Mr. Garner being president of the senate. His announced promise to work for Rayburn’s election was a piece of the administration's strategy which calls tor nailing down the leadership before the president returns from South America, both to spare the White House embarrassment and to ease off the inevitable bitterness which will follow the probable defeat of Rules Chairman John O'Connor of New York, Rayburn’s chief opponent. ** * Tip for House Members The Garner statement, timed and planned with the rest of the pro-Ray- burn campaign, was also designed to help make up the minds of new Demo- cratic members and some old ones who weren't sure how they meant to vote, but might be promptly persuaded it they knew Roosevelt were for Ray- burn. O'Connor supporters had been in- sisting—and they still do—that O’Con- nor was the president's personal pref- 1 erence. Bright boys all knew different. They saw working behind the scenes for Rayburn various gents who, if the White House hadn't passed the word on, would never have moved a finger in the House contest. Garner, in effect, put the adminis- tratign’s seal of approval on Rayburn and if any doubtful congressman wants personal, private assurance from the} vice president, he can get it. { There are 335 Democrats in the next House, so it takes 168 votes to nomi- nate in caucus the Democrat who will! be the next majority leader and, prob- ably before long, the next speaker. O'Connor has claimed 200 votes; Rayburn has said he could count on a few less than that. Rayburn’s claims have been the more generally accept- | ed, but O'Connor is more adept than} the Texan at making deals and some | of the administration strategists were somewhat worried until Garner spoke. | + * 1 Chief Strength in North | O'Connor strength has been chiefly in northern states which have large delegations.

The Empire State, he points out, has | a president, three members of the cab- inet, three U. 8, Supreme Court jus- tices, the Democratic national commit- tee chairman, and numerous other big shots. Stories that Garner was asked to report in Washington a month before congress met — an unprecedentedly early time for Garner to arrive—to act as a sort of “sub” for the touring Roosevelt are said by insiders to be just so much camouflage. The president telephoned the vice president just before he left for South America, they declare. The one big reason was that he wanted Garner to handle the Rayburn job. Garner grumbled and agreed.
