As is chracteristic of the president in his defter moods— and this was one of his best speeches—he ran with neither the hounds nor the hares but chose his own course, It was charac- teristic f him when not arrayed in his fighting clothes and therein lies a source of both comfort and assurance for all elements in our national life. . Perhaps the most significant passage in his address was that wherein he referred to the need for controls over “blind economic forces and blindly selfish men” and his refusal “to leave the problems of our common people to be solved by the winds of chance and the hurricanes of disaster.” This is an organ upon which Mr. Roosevelt is a master player. It is the essence of that political stock and trade which gave him such a rousing majority in the last election; the 1936 counterpart of the “forgotten man”; the favorite theme with # new presentation. ‘In estimating Mr. Roosevelt’s marvelous political gifts it cannot be discounted that he has established a kinship with the average individual. Whether the public view be enlightened or otherwise may be questioned by some, but there is no doubting that he understands it completely and shares it fully. Little of the ego which marks every president appears in the second inaugural address, There were references to victory over “private autocratic powers” but they were modest ones. his attitude was further re-inforced by his closing reference to “gq vast amount of humility.” In its general aspects the address emphasizes much more strongly than usually is characteristic of such documents the relation of ordinary moral concepts to the people’s idea of state- craft. It pledges the executive branch of the government to 4 outaneous origin published herein tter herein are also reserved. y § | : eon woccccccce coocce Behind Soanesii = Washington meccceccccccccccoocooces New Dealers’ Highest Tribute Voiced at Tugwell Farewell. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 21.—The farewell stag dinner for Rex Tugwell in Wash- ington will stand out, perhaps always, as the occasion when nearly all the most conspicuous liberals in the Roo- sevelt administration got together with a common purpose. The purpose was to pay tribute to Tugwell as a man who had shaped and symbolized the New Deal, a hero among progressives. No such homage has been paid any other retiring government official in many years. Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace was toastmaster. Just to give you the complexion of the party, the crowd of several hun- dred included Harry Hopkins, Harold Ickes, Bob LaFollette, Joe O'Mahoney, Monsignor John A. Ryan, Maury Maverick, Jerome Frank, Robert Lin- coln O’Brien, Dave Lilienthal, Tom Corcoran, Ben Cohen, Hugo Black, Arthur Capper, Fred Howe, Getald Nye, Morris Cooke, Homer Bone, Fred Delano, Ferdinand Silcox, John Dick- inson, Lee Pressman, Sidney Hillman, Will Alexander, Marriner Eccles, Bob Allen, Ray Tucker, Ed Foley, Vic Christgau, Howard Tolley, Exnest Lindley, Jay Franklin, Byron Scott, Leon Henderson, Ernest Lundeen, Louis Bean, Mordecai Ezekiel, Tom Amlie, Don Montgomery, Ernest Gruening, A. J. Altmeyer, George Creel, and so on. (If you don't place ‘em, try the Congressional Directory.) e+e % Lauded by Wallace Wallace, who is thought to be a bit relieved at losing Tugwell as his undersecretary, has great wit and charm. With eloquent sincerity he praised Tugwell as a friend of the under-privileged, a ° trail-blazer in government. Tariff Commission Chairman O'Brien, a Republican, kidded his con- servative New England friends who believed Tugwell was a horned secret dictator in Washington, Monsignor Ryan recalled Tugwell’s Los Angeles speech urging united po- litical action by farmers and labor, used heavily by enemies in the cam- Paign, and said, “I can find more things than that in Quadragesimo Anno” (the Pope's encyclical on labor and social problems). Senator O'Mahoney the time he had his picture taken with Tugwell and how a conservative friend had written him that he'd missed a great opportunity to appear as a hero in the photograph by not having his thumb in Tugwell’s eye. Hopkins struck a serious note, insisting that millions of the “underprivileged” con- siderered Tugwell their leader and that “economic royalists” had all too well understood Tugwell and his de- ae to distribute the good things of fe. ee Your Personal Health| By William Brady, M.

Marathon runners, distance swimmers, mountain climbers take ‘as they go, to ward off exhaustion and collapse. There is one kind of fatigue recognized by physiology, muscular fatigue. Popular notions of “nervous fatigue” or “brain fag” are vagaries beyond the ken of physiology. So is the conception of “neurasthenia.” Mind, this does not imply that a person may not experience discomfort or unpleasant feelings which he attributes to “nervous fatigui ‘brain fag” or “neurasthenia.” We are merely trying to explain that sugar is a remedy for muscular fatigue or tiredness only. In any circumstance sugar is quickly assimilated and quickiy oxidized of burned as fuel to furnish immediately available energy for muscles. It refreshes not only tired skeletal muscles but also the tired heart muscle. ‘This is another reason why it is an excellent restorer for the child tired out with play, While the best time to take sugar is at or near the end of a meal, in the case of a child that doesn’t mean much. A healthy child may eat p. r. n.—according to circumstances—and in fact should eat considerably more frequently than a healthy adult. * There may be some foundation for the belief that too large a proportion of carbohydrate in the diet is not the best nutrition for development. of and preservation of the teeth, particularly too much cereal (according to Edward and May Mellanby). There is no foundation for the notion that sugar is in itself injurious to the teeth, A rather common condition only recently diagnosed is hypoglycemia, lowering of the normal percentage of sugar in the blood. When this occurs from any cause the effects are immediate and often striking—feeling of ex- treme hunger, great fatigue, mental anxiety or disturbance which may give the impression of intoxication or in some instances a lapse of consciousness resembling petit mal (epilepsy without convulsion). Any form of sugar relieves this condition with dramatic promptitude. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Legs Cramp at Night My husband, 79, and I, 66, both have a great deal of trouble from cramps in the legs at night. We read of your calcium lactate treatment. We bought @ bottle of 100 5-grain tablets of calcium lactate. What is the best way to take them and for how long? (L. M. G.) Answer—Take two tablets after meals three times daily for three weeks. After that, another week or two of the medication whenever you think you need it, A daily dose of vitamin D promotes utilization of calcium. Vitamins and Heat Will cod liver oil added to the warm milk for the baby lessen the vitamin value? (Mrs, H. R. 8.) = Answer—Heating is destructive to vitamin C, less-so to vitamin B, least to vitamins A and D (in fish liver oil). Better not add any vitamin prepara- tion to baby’s food until it is cool enough for baby to drink. Synthetic vi- tamin D in the form of ConDol (irradiated ergosterol) provides as much in a single drop, which is tasteless, as is contained in a teaspoonful of cod liver oil, and in this form vitamin D is most economical.

It’s a good rule of free- ./dom that breaks down both ways— occasionally. One solution would be to give the Tories and the Progressives of the country a dozen peremptory chal- lenges like the district attorney and the defense in selecting the jury in @ murder trial, Then, in the course, let us say, of 25 years, the Tories could fire a dozen radical presidents and professors and the Progressives could fire a dozen Tory professors, without impairing the general rule of academic freedom.

He combines the lush hope of a fatter economy and more gen- erally distributed prosperity with the ascetic warning’that true progress is achieved only at the expense of suffering. Perhaps Mr. Roosevelt realizes very keenly’ what many commentators already have observed, This is a new approach to their problems on the part of his fundamental opponents, best expressed by that ancient political maxim, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.” One suspects that he views, from the ramparts of Demo- cracy, strange new recruits in the swelling ranks; that he scents Gissension in the expanding army, forsees new opposition of a more evasive nature than that with which he had to deal in his first administration, There can be little other interpretation of his expressed cesire to pilot the nation to the fleshpots of prosperity in the same voice with his call to stand firm in the faith. Return of the Waltz Experts on the dance, scanning the nation’s rhythmic gyra- tions in connection with preparations for the Birthday Ball for President Roosevelt, which will be held here and elsewhere on January 30, announce that the waltz is coming back. One dancing teacher has devised what he calls the “Wash- ington Waltz” as an innovation to be presented on this occasion, described as a variation of the “hesitation” which pre-war devotees of terpsichore will remember with pleasure: Whether or not the younger folks accept the trend toward more leisurely dancing will determine its popularity. It is they who are the arbiters. The oldsters, who “go out” only once in a while and-then only as something of a sentimental reversion to more active days, may sigh for the time when grace and poise were more prized than agility, but that will not insure a return. | If the young folks demand it the orchestras will continue those g hair-raising rhythms (if they may be called such) which make | the man or woman, whose dancing career closed 10 years ago, feel like the dodo when they merge with the younger generation on the polished floor. _ There are some things about modern dancing which clearly ‘fare not desirable and which might be curbed by the introduc- A tion of a more leisurely tempo. For example, one might cite the apparent perversion and distortion of ballroom manners. To polite ears the old-style “may I have this dance?” or “will dance this one with me?” sounds better than “C’mon kid, 's trot,”” but that view, too, may have its origin in nostalgia days gone by. Modes and manners change as sharply as ing steps and the new attitude may be merely evidence of ‘better understanding and closer camaraderie among the new- comers. After all, the idea is the same. _ But oldsters buying tickets for the Birthday Ball will de- voutly wish that the local committee will encourage the new trend in so far as it is able. Somehow, the thought of waltzes ig more appealing than the prospect of “hot” numbers. Per- haps their minds respond to the cry of creaking joints, their mental processes are geared to inelastic arches. But they are the only joints and arches they have and where young and old dance together it is only fair to invoke the theory of respect for age, even though that, too, seems to have gone the way of much that once was thought desirable. : Senator LaFollette, deadly serious, ingisted Tugwell’s resignation was a tragedy, applied to him a remark of LaFollette’s famous. father that he was the kind of a man with whom one wouldn’t mind going tiger hunt- ing in the dark, and finished, “Come on back, Rex, we need you!” Tugwell, whose father sat proudly beside him, was obviously pleased. He said that despite the fact he was entering business he still wore his red undershirt and was “sewed up in it for thé winter”; that he had lost many battles, but still had the satis- faction of the small boy who hunted squirrels with stones and didn't kill any, but at least “annoyed the hell out of them.” “If anything has been determined in the last four years,” he asserted, “it is that we have a right to have faith in democracy.” *% % Urges Common Aim Referring by implication to the long feud in the capital between the Frankfurter anti-bigness, “trust-bust- ing” school of brain-trusters and the Tugwellites with their theories of business under government control Tugwell fervently urged that “we make up our minds what we're trying to do.... We can’t win with di- vided counsels such as we've had in the last four years. If these con- fusions persist, we'll have a difficult no matter what we suggest and what ‘we do, we cant raise crops.

The consumer would know the price on flour, as well as the farmer the price on his wheat.
