SIDELIGHTS The sudden death of Senator Walsh, who was slated for attorney general, re- moves one of the strangest figures named for the Roosevelt cabinet. Senator Walsh was 78 years of age, and was married only a few days ago to a wealthy Cuban widow in Havana. He was an able statesman of the ultra-progressive type and his death marks:a distinct loss to the school of politi- cal thought which he represented. In published lists of the new cabinet the secretary of lahor is designated as Miss Frances Perkins. But she is really Mrs. Paul Wilson and is the mother of one daughter. She is an adherent of the Lucy Stone idea that women should retain their maiden names after marriage—and _ it’s nobody else's business if she feels that way about it. The appointment of Governor Dern of Utah as secretary of war recalls his famous campaign slogan of a few years ago, when his opponent was former Governor Charles R.. Mabey. Dern’s supparters rallied to the battle ery of ‘We want a Dern good gover- nor and we don't mean Mabey.” And Dern was elected, although Mabey is a Mormon and Dern is a Congregationalist. An unusual come-back into public life was staged hy Daniel C. Roper, new secretary of commerce, after 13 years as a private citizen. Roper’s last important political job was that of commissianer of internal revenue fram 1917 tq 1820. Be- fore that he had served as first assistant- postmaster general and as vice-chairman of the U. S. Tariff Commission, Quite unprecedented in recent politi- cal Hisfory is the fact that three members of the hew cabinet are former Republicans —Weordin, segretary of the treasury; THE BANKING SITUATION. Somebody said, many years ago, “These are the days that try men’s souls,” ; but we should paraphrase that to read, “These are the days that try men’s faith—. faith in the man whom an overwhelming majority of American citizens put at the head of our government.” ‘Phat man has said that this is the time for action, not for words,” and he did not wait, with the dive condition in the nation pressing on him, till the Sabbath passed to begin his action. Qn that day, in conference with his cabinet, he decided that the fear enter- tained toward the financial institutions in the country was so grave, immediate ac- tion should be taken to banish that fear. And he took that action yesterday morning. First, he issued an order tem- porarily closing all the National banks in the country and, secondly, he called a special session of congress for Thursday. At first thought it would appear that the closing of the banks would create more fear, and that is undoubtedly true as con- cerns many people, but it is not so as re- gards the greater number who have faith in the man who is now at the head of the government. Those people who have faith in him will reason that he had good cause for temporarily closing the banks, and that, when they open again, the confidence of the people in the banks will be restored. That confidence will return to its old- time vigor as a result of a banking bill that will be introduced immediately, when con- gress convenes, which will strengthen the financial institutions and, at the same time, the faith of depositors by a vrovi- sion that will guarantee all deposits in Na- tional banks. If a man with a dollar knows that that dollar will be returned to him when he wants it, he will not entertain a passing thought about the safety of that dollar when it is placed in a bank behind which the government stands. If there is a man who still has fear, with the guarantee staring him in the face, then he has lost all faith in the govern- ment under which it is issued. In other words, if money in a bank, guaranteed by the government to pay back dollar foy dollar, is no good, then money kept in a “sock” is no good, either. Let us have unbounded faith in Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, let us have faith that what he is doing is to restore the confi- dence of the people and the banking sta- bility of the country, let us have faith that he is working for our salvation. If we have that faith, then we may be sure that the banking situation in the United States will be put on a sound basis, which, above all, means the protection of the money that the people entrust to the banks. OUR CHANGING BODIES If you weigh yourself today, and then weigh yourself three weeks from now, your weight will probably show little change. But, according to Dr. Adolph of the Uni- versity of Rochester, at least 93 per cent of the real substance of your body will have been changed in the meantime. , For, he asserts, the water content of a human body changes every 21 days, of an average, and the body is 93 per cent wa- ter. He also figures that the nitrogen of the body, which is the chief element in the chemical composition of muscle, is renew- ed every 290 days, while the iron compon- ent is changed in a slightly longer period. It used to be thought that the actual substance of one’s body was completely changed about every seven years, but Dr. Adolph’s researches indicate that the time of renewal is much less than that. So, when you look in your mirror you may see what appears to be the same ob- ject you saw there a year or two before. But the real substance will be almost en- tirely different, and the change will gen- erally be for the worse rather than for the better.
