It usually takes less than four years | to demonstrate the foolishness of most campaign speeches. The man who takes himself as a joke repted as a joke, and the man who himself too seriously certainly+is a joke. South America is deporting its Fifth | Columnists right and left, but the United | Stat ther cannot find the Nazi agent: or let’s ‘em live, putting on the heat, pez- | haps, when it’s too late and the damage | at stake were to receive unanimous it was definitely established that all issues sup- port. It’s the franchise, as we say, that must be protected. But that isn’t all there is to the elec- tion tomorrow. A few state offices and one cther national officer have opposition. Otherwise—there are no opponents, ex- cept that names may be written in for any of the other offices. Six amendments to the constitution of our state are to be voted upon. Another good reason why interest should bring out a goo1 vote. At least three of the amend- ments are important, with far-reaching re- sults dependent upon the voters’ wishes. As the Jaycees put it—‘‘we don’t care who or what you vote for. . .the main thing is—vote!”’ That’s good American- | ism, practiced by patriotic young men of our city and the nation. Their parade to- night will emphasis that theme, and it’s a good thing to sponsor. Vote tomorrow—and show your colors! Vote to protect democracy in our nation. Remember—no franchise pos- sessc i by citizens of the dictator nations. THOROUGHLY DISGRACEFUL No American can approve the egg- throwing episodes that involve Wendell | Willkie, the Republican candidate for the Pampered children, who get every- thing they want, develop into adults bees) want nothing that requires work, and} hence th are failures. Then, possibly, taey will condemn their parents for having been too good to them, and justly blame } them for their condition. Oratorical defenders of Candidate | third term aspirations are sheuting that “democracy as we know it im his land must survive.” Was Mr. Roose- x to see that democracy did sur- | effort to pack the supreme court in order that his will be the law instead that of the people? Was he solicitous that lemocracy did survive when he attempted to “purge” from the United States all those resentatives of the people who Roosevelt's elected re had opposd the packing? Along this line ar ujtitude of indefensible questions could isked to the embarassment of Mr. osevelt. Andrew Jackson was a and he sponsored a _ no-third term amendment to the Constitution and An- drev’ Johnson urged Congress on two oc- casions to pass such an amendment. We | have the opportunity to halt the third- z aspiration now, and later have the er removed by a Constitutional amend- * against a third term. One of the rea- ns this was not done before was that Con- er thought, by any stretch of nagination, that aman would arise if ed. States who believed himself | indispensable. There has never been need i v sueh a being in the past, there is none | w, and there never will be, great presi- der gress nev | presidency. Neither can ary loyal American ap- prove the booing of the President, re- ported in various theaters and gatherings during the political campaign. While citizens may differ as to the worthiness of the ideals represented by these candidates there can be no debate as to the discourtesy involved. The individuals responsible can hardly be regarded as | good Americans. ANOTHER NOMINATION The crack correspondent of the New York Times in Washington, Arthur Krock, | nominates Edward J. Flynn of the Demo- cratic National Committee for the position of “Secretary of Propaganda,” which he describes as a possible Cabinet post that may be created some time in the future. Flynn recently made the charge that the press of this country is under actual | dictation by the financial interests and big advertisers. That made him about as pop- ular as a house-fly among the newspaper men. FUN IN THE PARKS The National Parks of this country | were visited by 16,741,855 persons during the 1940 “travel year,” which officially ended on September 36, reports the U. S. Department of thé Interior. That number is more than 2 million larger than last | year. The National Parks have been: made accessible to the motoring public, and ac- commodations to stay a night, a day, or a week, have helped to boom the / parks. Despite Her Small Budget, Light Conditioning Is on the Menu. By Jean Prentice j AKING A ROOM PRETTY on a small budget is relatively easy, particularly if the lighting is given a thought or two. In a recent survey of one’ thou- sand homés, lighting engineers found that many dining room lighting fix- tures are not used to best advantage. But, fortunately, there are new in- expensive Ways to modernize these fixtures: - For example, it took but a jiffy to improve the fixture and light con- dition the room illustrated here. Before the changes were made the colors in the room appeared dull. They were distorted by the lighting from bare’ amber-colored bulbs in the candelabra over the table. The bulbs were also too small in size to contribute lighting cheer. Then the turquoise and coral tints in the wall paper and deep green- ish blue of the rug were lifted into lovely rfch jewel tones with new lighting. The inexpensive but well- designed maple furniture took on new honey-tints. The change was a simple one, a step that can be taken in many homes -where there are candelabra fixtures or candle wall brackets. Regular 40-watt inside frosted bulbs | were substituted to provide enough light for easier seeing and clearer colors. On the bulbs were clipped new shades, shown above, to soften the light, prevent glare and direct some illumination downward on the table. Such shades can be secured in parchment or washable plastic in white, ivory and beige. They are quite inexpensive. Some even come in sets which include clean new) candle husks and inner diffusing bowls to sift out glare as do the, larger bowls in the floor lamps. These candlettes are particularly nice for wall brackets. Lighted urns were also added to the Welsh dresser in the room illustrated here. They are particularly handy for soft room-light when wax candles are the only other light used. In some dining rooms the ceiling fixture is the type in which bare bulbs hang downward. This style can be readily modernized with sil- vered-bowl bulbs and metal shades to give indirect lighting. Sometimes, however, a dining room has simply a single socket in the ceiling or a drop cord over the tabie. Then the answer is a new streamlined adaptor fixture which can be screwed in like a bulb. Some of these use a silvered-bowl bulb for indirect lighting. Among others are parchment shades with an inner diffusing shield and 150-watt inside frosted bulb. The lighting designers and engi- neers have worked out any number of inexpensive ways in which dining rooms and dinettes can be blessed with the new modern lighting. I have described only a few but doubt- less they suggest interesting possi< bilities to the homemaker. ‘SEEK CONTOUR AND NOT COLOR IF YOU WANT SCENE PICTURES. (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth in a series of five weekly articles on taking pic- tures.) (Associated Press Feature Service) Amateur photographers are generally at their worst when they do landscapes and street scenes. What is more boring than an evening spent with someone just returned from a trip with a hun- dred snapshots? It’s a rare thing to see one interesting picture on such an occasion. The prime reason for this ‘that people are much more sensi- tive to color than to shape. The amateur is attfacted to a scene because of the blue sky, the green grass and the white house with the green shutters. The color com- bination gets him and he skoots. | By the time the picture comes lout in black and white, the point is lost. Look For Patterns The problem is to train one’s eye to look for shapes and pat- tern in light and dark. Those are the things the camera can record, the things that make composition {and determine whether a picture is worth looking at. When you see a view you like, determine what there is about it ‘that attracts you. make that reason come out in the ‘picture you take. The acid test of whether you’ve done a good job is to have some- one go through your photographs and guess why you took each one. * ‘the tendency to see in ‘terms.of color should be less of a problem when taking street scenes in the city. Here the most interesting material is in the activities of people in the streets or the de- signs that variously shaped build- ings make. Your main tools are camera angle and sunlight. Watch The Light If you are interested in the shapes and contours of buildings there’s no sense im taking a shot of a building as the sun is hitting it head on. —* It is necessary to watch the light change on a building and ;make the shot when the sun, by hitting at an. angle, emphasizes ‘the contour you are after. is Then aim to’ U.

C., Nov. 4 —(FNS) The plan to employ hos- | tesses at Army camps has caused a flood of applications to be re- ceived not only at Washington but at division headquarters throughout the country. From the tone of inquiries be- ing received, officials said, it is apparent that most people are! ,under the impression that thou- sands of such positions will be available. Just the contrary is true. Less than 100 hostesses will be needed for the entire country and those selected must have special qualifications for the work, including education, ecutive ability, experience, and must be able to provide the high- est character references. Only two hostesses will be needed for each camp, a_ chief hostess and an assistant. To give some idea of the number needed | it is pointed out that if the only two women were selected from each state in the Union it would | be sufficient to meet present needs. et Senators ahd congressmen re- port that they are receiving thou- sands of letters from women seeking endorsement for such! posts and it is hoped that this announcement will serve to ac- quaint applicants with the actual ‘situation and make them realize that the opportunity of securing such a post is limited only to | those of the highest qualifications and then in competition with hundreds equally qualified. ex- _ WHAT DO YOU KNOW — ABOUT THE BALKANS? | (Answers on Page Four) 1.
