Just the Thing
for Small Girl
Pattern 1752
For tlie little Xlrl who wears cot
ton frocks nil yenr round, this de
sign will be charming In a sturdy
bright glngnnm, hut the little ruffle
will set beautifully In wool as well.
Chains Is a nice material for a little
girl’s dress, since It has a slight ad
dltlonnl warmth and It washes beau
tifully. The ruffle at the edge of the
yoke Is not lndlspenslble, as the
back view shows. Any child who
wears this frock will look at least
an Inch tnller than she Is, because
of the long unbroken front panel—
and little girls, like their mothers,
have a yen for that, these days.
Pattern 1752 Is available In sizes
4,6, 8, 10 and 12. Size 8 takes 244
yards 30 Inch fabric. Illustrate

MISUNDERSTOOD
As the ship was about to leave
the harbor an old lady was knitting
on deck. “Cast off there,” shouted
an officer.
“Thank you, officer,” said the old
lady tartly, “but I am quite capable
of doing my own knitting.”—Ash
tngton Collieries Magazine.
A Prudent Suggestion
“Many people have suffered em
barrassment because of their social
aspirations.”
“Yes,” answered Miss Cayenne.
“Before you Insist on getting Into
the swim you want to make quite
sure you nre a swimmer.
Blend
“That dog of yours Is only a mon
grel.”
“That’s a harsh way of Braking.”
answered Uncle Bill Bottletop. “I
call him a blend. But I’ve got to ad
mit that n blend Is ns no nccount In
a kennel as It is in a dispensary."
Tom’s Idea
“Tom, you mustn't eat all of the
peanuts even If you ure pretending
to be a monkey. You must give sis
ter some.”
“But, mother, I’m pretending she’s
some sort of animal that don't eat
peanuts.”

Washington
Digest
by William Bruckart
Washington.—The smoke of battle
has cleared away sufficiently since the
. election to permit
Election of an analysis and
Analysis already there Is a
general conclusion
discernible as to two things:
(1) The Republican party must un
dergo a complete reorganization, a com
plete elimination of the old line lead
ers and the assumption of power by
virulent forward looking men and
women of the newer generations.
(2) President Itoosevfelt, accorded
the greatest vote of confidence ever
given a Chief Executive, is confronted
with the greatest responsibility ever
laid on the lap of one individual In the
history of this nation.
Thus, there can be no doubt, accord
ing to nstute judges, that Mr. Roose
velt and his administration are In real
danger because he hns too many blind
followers. It seems to be generally
agreed among political leaders and ob
servers—that Is, all political leaders
excepting those who refuse to believe a
change has come—that the Republican
party went Into the recent campaign
and finished that campaign without
any kind of a program. Some critics
are saying that Henry R. Fletcher, the
Republican national chairman, Is to
blame. I do not find that criticism sup
ported generally. But in politics some
one always must be the goat and ap
parently Mr. Fletcher Is to be made
the goat by those Republicans who
have been unable or unwilling “to
take it.”
Mr. Fletcher and his co-workers, Sen
ator Hastings of Delaware, and Repre
sentative Bolton of Ohio, are known to
have pulled back In their criticisms of
the administration. The consensus
seems to be, however, that this alone
was not sufficient to have resulted In
the overwhelming defeat which the
party suffered. It was, rather, an en
tire lack of definite proposals from the
Republican leadership, and throughout
the country, according to well authen
ticated information, the younger crowd
of Republicans was apathetic. They
had nothing to encourage them and
nothing to offer in argument In the
place of the things the New Deal was
preaching.
In some quarters It Is emphatically
Insisted that the New Dealers, theories
and all, amounted to a light In the dis
mal darkness of the economic depres
sion. This school of thought argues
that It does not matter whether success
hat crowned the President’s recovery
efforts. He at least has maintained
a forward-appearing movement and In
the absence of anything constructive
from the other side, a people down
trodden and with resources exhausted
look to him with a hope which they
could not pin to any other flag stafT.
• • •
But, as said above, Mr. Roosevelt has
his problems. They are more danger
ous than when he
President s took office. With
Problem § more than a two
thirds majority in
each house of congress, the President,
it Is held generally, must guard himself
against too many friends.
The two-thirds majority always has
been regarded as a fine asset for an ad
ministration In forcing through legisla
tion where It is necessary to apply a
gag rule. This Is particularly true In
die house of representatives which has
a tendency to become a maelstrom on
too many occasions. Many new mem
bers, embued with the idea of a New
Deal mandate, will swallow the Presi
dent’s legislative proposals without
question. History shows this to be a
most dangerous condition for the Chief
Executive. He hns no opposition to
call attention to mistakes, wenknesses,
or vulnerable spots in the programs
which he offers.
One official, and a rather high offi
cial at that, suggested the other day
that he wus In favor of “organizing” an
opposition bloc In the house and sen
ate. It was his conviction that If there
were critics among the Democrats, they
would constitute something of a leader
ship for the Republican minority and
that, by these two groups, vnluable
criticism of administration policies
would be available. All through the
last session of congress numerous con
servative Democrats, mainly from the
South, were working under cover to
hold the brain trust programs within
bounds. Many of the senators, and
representatives as well, went about
their work quietly but none the less
effectively and, I think It Is conceded
by most persons In n position to know,
that these men kept the New Deal
from going too far to the left.
• • •
One other phase of the Roosevelt
problem deserves consideration. The
campaign showed
Ultra-Radical nny number of men
Threat seeking election on
the Democratic ticket
to have ideas far beyond the New Deal
program. In fact, some of them are ul
tra-radical. Observers here contend
that Mr. Roosevelt Is faced with a
genuine threat from these personages.
In other words, It appears to be within
the realm of possibility that ho will
have to swerve somewhat to the right
to insure victory for the policies In
which he believes. legislation always
la by compromise. If the President
does not desire to go so far to the
radical aide he may be forced to sup
port carta la more conservative prop©-
sltlons In order that when the radical
group makes demands, he can make
concessions to them and accomplish
the ends sought.
This conjecture, of course, is pre
dicated upon the frequently heard con
dition that the radical bloc will be
larger In congress than heretofore and
that they will assert themselves. The
President’s ability to meet this condi
tion obviously will be tested, but there
are many observers who say that the
President is the best tight-rope walker
the country ever hns seen.
Looking Into tbefuture.lt seems per
fectly safe to say that the realignment
of parties has taken greater strides
than most observers thought possible
when Mr. Roosevelt was proposing the
New Deal In the 1932 campaign. It
was perfectly patent then and became
more apparent as he took office, as I
reported to you at that time, that Mr.
Roosevelt was building a party of his
own.
• • •
I beard n Washington political writer,
a man of forty years’ experience, say
the other day that
Sees Break-Up it was not impos
of ‘Solid South * slble for a break
up of the "solid
South” to occur within the next six
years. He envisioned withdrawal of
the conservative South from any party
that tied closely into the liberal or rad
ical groups that dominate the Middle
West and the Rocky Mountain areas. It
presented a picture rather new In the
political scene in that it seemed to
suggest the possibility of an alignment
of the East against the Middle West
and the far western sections of the
country.
The thought was expressed with two
factors in mind. It was pointed out
that the bulk of the territory east of
the Mississippi river Is based In manu
facturing lndustres. In that territory
are many large and medium sized
cities. Their Interests are different
than those west of the Mississippi. The
condition resolves the question into
one of economics.
The second factor to be considered
is the fact that the so-called solid South
is inherently conservative. That links
with the great manufacturing sections
of the country. If Mr. Roosevelt has
succeeded or does succeed In creating
his own party, under whatever name it
may eventually be known, this Wash
ington observer told me he foresaw
gradual defection of southern Demo
crats and their alignment with manu
facturing Interests in a conservative
party.
History shows that such develop
ments as are pictured In the above pre
diction are very slow. Notwithstand
ing the rapid changes that have come
since Mr. Roosevelt became President
It Is unreasonable to suppose that ac
complishment of an entire political party
revolution can be accomplished in time
to affect the result of the 1930 Presi
dential election. Some students of
politics maintain, however, that the
development will have been sufficient
by 1930 to wield some Influence.
From all of the discussion I hear at
this time the result In 1930 will be de
pendent upon whether there has been
complete recovery and whether federal
money holds out that long. There are
few with whom 1 hnve talked who dis
agree with the premise that with
drawal of federal aid, for re
lief or otherwise, can be accom
plished without Important political re
actions.

This Is the story of a man whose
name many of you have seen engraved
In stone on many post offices through
out the United States It Is the story
of a mnn who grew up In government
service and who Is now retiring to the
rest and recreation which 49 years of
government service certainly entitles
him.
At the end of this month, James A.
Wetmore will close his desk nt the
treasury where he has served since
1913 as acting supervlsng architect and
from which office he has directed the
greatest public building program ever
undertaken by nny government. Mr.
Wetmore Is seventy-one years old and
ho says that he Is going to enjoy the
rest of his life at play but he always
hastens to explain that ho has enjoyed
nearly every day of the work he has
been doing.
It was ulmost half a century ago that
M. Wetmore accepted a Job as a
stenographer In the treasury. From
the day In 1883 when he began work
there, his rise hns been steady and his
ability constantly recognized. Thus It
cume about that when Oscar Wende
roth resigned In 1015 Mr. Wetmore wn§
asked “to fill in for awhile.” That
“awhile” stretched over a period of 19
years during which Mr. Wetmore per
sisted in his refusal of the office of
supervising architect. You will note
wherever his name appears graven on
the corner stone of a post office that
there Is the word “acting” before the
rest of the title. The reason Is simple.
Mr. Wetmore is not an architect and
never hns been.
Thus a career officially ends, a career
about which few of his countrymen
knew. While his name appears on hun
dreds of corner stones, he participated
in the ceremonies of the laying of only
one. That was at Bath, N. Y., his birth
place. And that la tha one corner
stone of which he le proud.

School in the Sky
The headmaster of a Dutch school
has conceived the brilliant Idea of
using an air liner to teach geogra
phy. Instead of trooping dolefully
into their classroom, the children
now eagerly take their seats in the
airplane, each with a map beside
him and a pair of earphones. While
the flight is In progress, the geogra
phy master, sitting before a micro
phone In the fore part of the cabin,
points out and explains the features
of the countryside below, and the
pupils check his remarks on their
maps. A prearranged section of
the Netherlands Is taken with each
flight. The children, it is found, ab
sorb their lessons with 20 times the
enthusiasm shown on the ground.—
