Unfortunately, however, he was not. For the run-of-the-mill husband everywhere shares in that little failing—and there isn’t a wife alive who doesn’t know it. | This, no doubt, explains the widespread feminine distrust of pre- | datory females, and the wifely habit of demanding a triple- edged alibi for any and all evening absences from the fireside. It explains more than that. It explains the uncanny pre-| “science with which the little woman detects, in the brain of her spouse, those errant little fancies which ever and anon take| shape there. She detects them, often enough, before the spouse himself is entirely aware of them—before they have gone far- ther, for instance, than a mental recognition of the fact that little Mary Jones looks uncommonly nice as she stands on the corner waiting for the bus, with the wind whipping her skirts. Having detected them, she immediately files an accusation «leaving her better half with that peculiar feeling of baffled jndignation which an accused man feels when he knows that he is innocent but knows also that the innocence is not exactly of his own contriving. He usually mutters dumbly about woman’s intuition, not understanding that she has simply acted on the ancient truth—that man’s roving eye operates independently of his will. And there is where another score must be put down to the little woman’s credit; for she knows (without being told) that those of today. Roosevelt's attitude —that he could take a fortnight off at a critical time and strengthen rather than weaken his position—was much the same. 5 The question naturally arises: Has the President made the same mistake twice? The other fishing trip was a mis- take. F. D. R. went at a time when Congress was more rebellious than ever before, when his Supreme Court plan was at stake, when the rest of his program was blocked. But he was quite confident. He was sure Congress would realize the masses of voters were behind him and that it would be more tractable after stewing around a couple of weeks. He thought he had the court fight won. Probably he had—at the time. Justice Van Devanter hadn't quit. Majority Leader Joe Robinson hadn’t died. But the administration leader- ship was weak, and in that fortnight the opposition gained strength rapidly and the court plan lost ground. Other things happened, but in the end that April-May fishing trip was chalked up as a major tactical error. Same Dangers Today Congress today seems even more balky. The administration leader- ship is still weak. Most of F. D. R.’s program is blocked. There is danger that some of his favorite laws may be repealed and that Congress may stam- pede to “do something for business” much more drastic than the President wants it to do, But once again the chief execu- tive has gone away, believing that Congress will stew around in its fu- tility, create a bad impression on the country and be virtually pining for his leadership by the time he returns. 8.

Box Office Football -Whether it be true that the boys on the University of Pitts- burgh football team actually demanded cash on the barrel- head as a reward for participation in a post-season game is some- thing for Pittsbargh to figure out. But if they did, the affair reflects discredit on American university authorities generally rather than on the boys themselves. _ American universities have made football a professional Sport. It is foolish to deny this, when gate receipts are counted by the hundred thousand and an athletic department is offered $50,000 for one “bowl” game. That sort of money simply isn’t part of amateur sport and never will be. If the boys who are drawing that kind of money through the gate decide that they would like a little of it for themselves, ‘who can wonder at it?
