Jf } Grundy And Vare
On the day that Joseph R. Grundy was sworn in
is a senator, William S. Vare was sent to a sanita
rium suffering from a second paralittc stroke.
Dr. Mark Sullivan, widely known as the chief of
the publicity agents of the administration, has In
formed the readers of the newspapers that he serves
that “the swearing in of Mr. Grundy was hailed with
Joy by the people of Pennsylvania.’’
There is a manufacturers' association in the state
of Pennsylvania with & membership of 7000. Sen.
Orundy has been their voice for years. His proud
boast is that he protects his own—including the army
of workers who are on the payrolls of the industrial
plants of his state.
He has experienced a change of heart. He has let
it be known that he will vote for a tariff on every
product of the farm and all the farmers will have
to do to win his favor is to name the product that Is
languishing.
Even hard-headed democrats are forced to admit,
however reluctantly, that the republicans employ their
brainiest men in and out of office to enact the laws
of the land and to keep the sons, of Thomas Jeffer
■m “outside of the breast-works ’*
They know what they want and they usually get it.
A Voice From The Tomb
Former Sen. James A. Reed of Missouri is deer
hunting in Texas. A San Antonio reporter bearded
the old lion in his hotel den and won an interview.
Prohibition was the topic. Reed was ready. He
said :
“You cannot force the American people to do
anything. No more does one hear the old time tem
perance sermon. Now it only is the doctrine of
force that is being advocated. You cannot force the
American people to do anything. Everywhere, in the
home, at parties, in hotels, and elsewhere th? law is
being violated deliberately."
Reed of Missouri should have a care. He may be
dragged before a Texas grand Jury. There are un
dercover workers In San Antonio. They are hunt
ing buyers as well as sellers. They have a dragnet.
In the dragnet two well known citizens were caught
last week and the throwers of the dragnet are said
to be out for big game.
Hoover On Law Enforcement
Speaking of law enforcement, the president, in his
message made this solemn declaration: “It is the
most serious issue before our people." Yes. and the
easiest route for a politician to take if he wishes to
avoid the discussion of farm relief and all other issues
of an economic nature.
It enables the sagacioys politician to dodge the
taxation issue, the tariff issue, the immigration is
sue, the labor issue, capitalistic issue—in fact all the
Issues under the shining sun which affect the pock
ets or the stomachs of the great majority.
It is a sldestepper for control of trusts or for the
regulation of public service corporations. It is a
popular issue and makes copy for the magazines, the
daily newspapers, the weekly newspapers, indeed for
all the output of the press.

I’ve a mind that's fair

A Sullivan Picture Of Grundy
Dr. Mark Sullivan is a portrait painter as well as
a writer for nemspapers. a maker of books, a loyal
republican and close to the Hoover thme. This is
his pen picture of Sen. Joseph R. Grundy:
“Mr. Grundy, in his personality, his abstemious
uprighteousness and his background reflects qualities
and conditions in which Pennsylvania takes pride
He is a descendant of settlers who came over with
William Penn. He is a Quaker, a graduate of a
Quaker college and he runs his business in a modest
way.”

CHAPTER 59 |
For the first time Rosalie did ont!
cringe at the sight of the reporter.:
The story had leaked out that she
was engaged to Roy Andrews and
several of the reporters were from
New York. It was a story that was
rocking the country. There were all
the elements of mystery, love and
intrigue they could possibly hope
for in the life story of one small
girl.
"We understand.” one of the group
began, "that you were engaged to
Roy Andrews.”
“I wish you would wait until Mr.
Andrews is able to talk about it.” i
Rosalie said, uncertainly. "I don’t
want to say anything that would
be embarrassing to him.”
“You don't deny that you were
to be married."
-No—no. We had been engaged)
for several days before all this ter->
rible trouble happened.''
They sat back well pleased. She
had admitted her engagement. That
alone would make headlines enough
for one day.
"Why were you keeping it such
a secret that even Peter Clarke
didn t know it?”
"Because.” she replied shyly. *1
was a poor girl and naturaily I
didn’t kno weverything I ought to
know about a lot of things. Roy
was tryng to figure out what was
best. He was going to take me
away from where I was living to an
aunt of his so he could get my
clothes ready.”
Her reply was so naive and frank
that the spokesman squirmed a little
uncomfortably.
"Did Roy Andrews think his
uncle would disinherit him?"
Rosalie, by this time, was so
wrapped up in her story and the
defense of her love that she didn't
realise what kind of thrilling copy
she might be giving the papers. Her
head went up in a gesture of de
fiance.
•Roy wasn't interested in his
uncle’s money! We were both per
fectly willing to start together in a
little appartment of our own. I'd
have liked it better. I wouldn’t
know how to act with a lot of money
and things.”
There wasn’t a newspaper man
there tint didn't believe her. The
story was certainly turning out
much differently than they had ex
pected. One of them spoke up
then:
“Are you still in love with Roy
Andrews? What will you do if he
dosen't get well?”
It was a cruel question. She sat
back, her hand on her breast and
tears came to her eyes.
• X—don’t know what Id do. I—
I think I’ll die too if he does.”
She had forgotten that she was
being held on a number of charges
by the law and that her freedom
depended entirely upon Roy get
ting well. A newspaper woman
came in briskly and sat dowrn.
Rosalie suddeny felt ill at ease.
The boys, she assumed, were all
pretty much like Rowdy, and so
she hadn't been afraid of them.
The woman eyed her critically,
and laughed.
“What’s all this I hear about love
in a cottage and all that rot—and
that you aren't interested in money
and that you crave the pots and
pans I can’t hang a story on that.
It’s old stuff.” . ... .
One of the reporters broke out
impatiently:
Oh, Marg. get out and let us have
the floor and come back In and get
your own story! You always think
you're so damned clever.
Margaret Fuller Larkin sat back
with a superior smile.
“I’d like this girl’s recipe She s
got everybody from the matron to
you bird's feeling sorry for her.
Don’t tell me you boys are going to
let her hand you a sob story. I ve
been to see her girl friend. Ann
Schultz, this afternoon and got my
bearings.”
It was just then that Rowdy Dow
burst Into the room. He saw with

WATCHING THE BIRTH OF
SUN-SPOTS
By Arthur DeV. Carpenter
Sun-spots give warning as to
when they are about to appear:
In the neighborhood of a develop
ing sun-spot, the area round-about
first becomes, producing, faculae, or
bright stradks, in the sun s photo
sphere. Those who have watched
the formation of sun-spots say that
the faculae at this stage, becomes
interspered with small dark points
or pores. Then the pores increase
in Rise very rapidly and grow to
gether. and the adjoining granules
on the photosohere became changed
in form to that of folaments or
threads of the umbra (dark center).
The required for this birth of
sun-snots varies from a few hours
to a few days.

dismay Rosalie surrounded by re
porters. What had she said? Sears
nad promised she would not be in
terviewed until he said the word—
and the detective had double-cross
ed him. He looked the crowd over.
The Philadelphia reporters thought
he looked strangely familiar.
"Hello, gang.” he grinned Hien.
i “How's tricks?”
"My god. Rowdy Dow!” Marg
Larkin got up and stared at him in
creduously. "What did you do to
! yourself?9*
He ran his hand through his hair
that had been a fiery mop. Then he
twirled the mustache that he had
gone back to Just that day so that
he might see Rosalie again with
out his identity being known.
"I'm Sherlock Holmes. I want
ed to play detective and I knew
you'd all be on my trail. So I re
stored* to trickery.”
There was a general howl—a mix
ture of merriment and dismay. So
the lawyer that had dodged them
all and refused to have his client
interviewed or annoyed in any way
was Rowdy Dow!
Rowdy decided to be very serious
He went over and stood beside
Rosalie protectrngly.
"Listen, gang. I started out on
this story just like I always da
Hating it because I thought it was
another case of a woman with an
itchy trigger finger who was trying
to get away with murder. But
Rosalie here told me the truth abwt
a lot of things and I believed her.
After that I wasn’t doing it because
it was a story, but because I want
ed to see the kid get a square deal.
Any of you would have felt the same
Wa>l'f vou’ll Jst wait until we see
whether Roy Andrews is going to
get over his operation youll see
that the kid here is telling the
truth. Every card in the pack is
against her, but she is telling the
truth. I have been seeing a lot
of a girl who has known her ever
since she was a baby and I know
the wnoie story.
Rowdy pleaded Rosalie’s cause so
earnestly that even Marg Larkin
eyed her with new interest and be
lieved Rowdy must be telling the
truth. Rowdy exacted a promise
from them not to say anything that
would make matters worse, and
promised to share all the material
he had with them.
“Honest,” he grinned then, '*1
didn't mean to scoop you. I was
just trying to be a good Christian
for a change.”
“I hope you marry the girl," Marg
got up. not being able to resist a
desire for a final thrust.
“Nothing would give me greater
pleasure” Rowdy bowed ceremon
iously.
Rosalie gave him a grateful little
smile. She knew he must have news
of Rov and could hardly wait.

Health and Right Living
By ROYAL 8. COPELAND. M. D.
U. 8. Senator from New York.
OtJR eyes are the most delicate organs of the body, and what scam
thought we give them! ?% r f
If we are in good, robust health, the eyes am bound fa ka
strong and capable of much work. But yet defective eyes appear to
COPELAND.
m as prevalent as defective teeta.
The majority of people who differ from eye
troubles have what the ocnlista call "far sighted*
ness." but what in Its practical effects results
in shortsightedness. This form of eye weakness
is on the increase. *What causes It?
Children appear to be afflicted with poor vision
today much more than formerly. A generation
ago we seldom saw children wearing eye-glasses,
but older people always. Somehow, it was never
thought that a child could have eye weakness,
or could be in need of corrective glasses.
Today, in the schools,,it is usual for ths
teacher to report cases of eye strain in children
under her care. As a result the parents send
the child to a competent specialist for treatment.
Eye-weakness and sys diseases in children
come very often as an after-effect of rickets.
Rickets is due to lack of a right diet, causing n
weakening ex all the muscles and nones, me muscular pans ox cat
eyeball grew weak, lose their elasticity, they become stretched and
the child becomes short-sighted.
More and more, today, physicians are finding that many ills an
emu sea Dy rauity diet. The wrong,
food and wrong anting are more to
blame for 111 health than any other
one thing. To hare a strong body
and mind you must keep the body
built up with the right food, not
fust any food.
When you are **run down1* your
body resistance to disease is lowered.
and naturally in many cases the eye
muscles are weakened. Now. your
doctor will tell you. Is the time to
hare a change of diet, and perhaps
a vacation, to allow the body and the
eyes to recuperate. Plenty of fresh
air and sunlight are absolute essen
tials in the process of building up
the bodily tissues.
There are a number of common
Ills that bring eye weakness. For
Instance. If anemia Is present the
ayea are apt to be affected. It la a
condition which Is caused by mal
nutrition. and results in a lack of
red corpuscles in the blood.
Near-sighted and far-sighted per
sons are likely to have Impaired
vision. This effect may be overcome
by properly adjusted eye-glassee or
spectacles.
Sties coma from eys-straln or an
Infection from some foreign sub
stance. A small particle of dost car
ried into the eye by the wind can
set up an irritation that makes the
whole body tick for the time being.
These wonderful days of eariy
Winter Invite one to be out in the
fresh air and sunshine. Plenty of
good food, fresh air and sunshine
can do more to brace you up and
►
make your ayes well than any other
thing in tha world. Tha child who
la urged to play out-of-door* ovary
possible hour Is storing up health to
carry him over tha shot-in days of
Winter.
