THE RISING ROOSEVELTS
By PAUL HARRISON, NEA Service Writar.
“It seemsß to me that children nowadays don’'t
think up as many original pranks as they used to.
Why, 1 remember when Franklin had everyone on
the place mystified for days when he used to hide
on the laundry roof and throw things at people . . .
gnd the times he'd dress up like a ghost and flit
around the servants’ quarters . . . and the day
he—"
Mrs. James Roosevelt, snowy-haired and 77, stop
ped in something like confusion. No situation can
nonplus that dowager-aristocrat. But she did
think it best to stop telling tales about the next
President of the United States.
“As for the grandchildren,” she continued, 21
think theyre very fine. Not extraordinary, you
understand, but very fine’ indeed. And intelligent
like their parents.
“] always said that the reason the Governor was
especially well educated was because he was‘
prought up at home, with good tutors, and trav
eled a great deal. I have spent much of my life |
abroad, and my son traveled with me frequently.
Mrs. Franklin Rooseveit was educated in Europe,
too, vou know, and they're allowing their children
to travel a great deal.
“When Anna and James were 16 and 14 I took
them abroad myself for three months, We packed a
lot of travel into that time, and saw just about
everything we could, even touring the World war
battlefields. We were glad to get home, though. The |
grandchildren seem to lgve Hyde Park as much as
1 do.”
It was morning, and Mrs. James Roosevelt had‘
been looking @t some old photograph albums in |
her little sitting room off the main hall of the big
house. Graciously and without apology she had re
ceived the reporter while she was wearing a little
lace cap and negligee. After a while she would
dress for the afternoon when Lady Astor and some
friends were driving up from New York. Just now,
however, she wanted to talk about the Rising
Roosevelts.
“We have a rather simple time of it when we're
all together here. There is no hour set for break
fast, but most of the family get down about nine,
except little Franklin who is a sleepyhead. Imagine
my calling him ‘little Franklin,’ when the boy must
be 6 feet 4 now! After breakfast, John and Franklin
go to the stables, John especially, for he's the
fondest of horses of anyone I ever saw.
“Everyone comes in for lunch, and afterward
they do anything they like. The boys are allowed
to use the scars on the place, and they often go up
to Barrytown to visit Lyman Delano’'s children,
Warren, Fred and Bobby. Then they burst in at
teatime at 5, and eat so many sandwiches and
pieces of cake we're always afraid they'll spoil
their dinners.
“Dinner is at 7:30. No, I guess we haven't any
favorite dishes, unless it's the Governor's scrambled
eggs, and he manages to forego them in the even
ing. Everyone here has been brought up on the old
fashioned idea of eating everything that's put be
fore them.”
Directly after dinner is the favorite home hour
for the Roosevelts. When the c¢hildren were younger
their mother read aloud to them regularly; first
fairy stories, then Kipling, Hawthorne, Walt.er}
Scott. Mrs. Roosevelt has a low and resonant voice
with an arresting dramatic quality, The children
were very fond of poetry, -but muéh better than
reading it was to hear it from her lips.
Besides they talked, in thoughtful, spirited con
versation adroitly directed by the parents., Their
daughter and sons seldom guessed that they were
being schooled in intelligent social discourse. But
they were. Mrs. Roosevelt believed familles all too
often confine their small-talk and conferenecs to
wholly material things.
None of the youngsters played any musical in
strument, though their grandmother recalls that
“little Franklin” sHowed a great deal of talent be-‘
fore he successfully rebelled gaainst his plano les
sons. All of them sang, however, and they congre
gafid around pianos at every opportunity. Today,
Curtis Dall, Anna's husband, plays for them when- |
ever he visits the Hyde Park house.
A Roosevelt evening usually resolves itself into a
game of some sort. The President-elect, as many
newspapermen know v%o have traveled in his
special trains, is an opponent to be dreaded in any
card game, and especially at the ancient pastime
of peeping at hole-cards and filling inside straights.
But the family plays hearts or rummy. Bridge
is out of the guestion, since six or seven persons
are usually to be included in an evening's enter
tainment. As the players drift off to bed the Gov
ernor always has his intellectual nightcap—a game
of solitaire or a cross-word puzzle' He has invented
a variation of selitaire which he calls “Miss ' Mulli
gan.”
French used to be a household language at Hyde
Park. The Governor speaks French and German
fluently, and has a working knowledge of Italian
and Spanish. Mrs. Roosevelt who, as a girl, ;\l-1
tended a French school outside London, has the
best pronunciation of all. And the children have
.chattered it from the timaseach had his first gover
ness.
Parties, as such, rarely have been given at the
Hyde Park houase. For one reason, the Roosevelts
dislike the deliberate type of ‘“party” formality;
and for another, the routine there is rather like a
continucus house-party anyway. Most of the guests
stay for week-ends, and the children's friends are
treated exactly like members of the family. “If
anyone ever charged us with aloofness,” Anna said,
“the ‘ilpression would be due to the fact that we
actually had more fun together than with outside
groups.”
Their religious education has not been stressed
past the peint of voluntary interest. The family are
Episcopalians, and Franklin, incidentally, will be
the ninth Episcopalean President. “The children
always attended ' church regularly,” said " their
grandmother. *“And every Sunday afternoon I read
to them from the New Testament. James was al
ways my hest listener.
“Mrs. Dall’'s daughter, ‘Sistie,’ one of my four
great-grandch§dren, goes to church with me now
when they're up for the week-end. Sistie is only 5,
but she told me the other day that she remembered
all the hymn tunes and knew all her prayers. She
did, too.”

} WHOLESALE INDICTMENT
.| On account of alleged irregularities and
cruelty practiced im some camps of the
.| Georgia prison system, the American
- Civil Liberties Union has issued a broad
' laide indictment of the entire system in
‘lthis state. |
| There may be specific. cases, but as a
rule, isolated, where severe and inhumane
ireatment may be meted to convicts, but
as a whole, investigations do not bear out
{the charges preferred by this organiza
[tion. If inhumane treatment js imposed
lupon convicts of the various camps, the
iprison commission, we feel certain, would
lact immediately and in a drastic manner,
'suppress such conduct on the part of war-|
'dens or other officials connected with the|
camps.,
. Recently, books have been written, pic
turing the horrible cohditions existing in
fthe Georgia chaingangs, but such repre
centations are not borne out by facts.
Scenes, alleged to have been taken from
these camps have been made into moving
pictures and exhibited throughout the na
tion showing a most horrible condition. If
these pictures and books are not true, then
legal action should be taken and the books
and pictures suppressed. ¥
It is understood that the members of
the prison commission on being informed
of the wide publicity that has been given
lto the chaingang system of this state, have
|stated that no such condition exists, but
that such books and pictures are purely
’for money-making purposes for the bene
fit of the authors and producers.
' Our penal institutions are - charges on
‘the state that should be given strict super
vision and regulations for controlling pun
ishment for these unfortunate people, who
have violated the law, but they should not
be treated linhumanely. However, it
should not be expected that conviets be
treated as hotel guests. Their lives can
not be made free as the law abiding eciti
zen; if they were, chaingangs would be
come the refuge ofsall criminally inclined
people. However, whether the charges
are true or not, they should be investigated
and a silence put on the activities of the
prejudice, who see no good in anything
where race can be made an issue.
MACHINERY AND CIVILIZATION
There has been much said and written
about machinery replacing labor and con
tributing, in a great measure, to the cause
of depression. Some economists, engineers
and theorists have gone so far as to state
that our economic trouble has been
brought about by improved machinery re
placing the number of men formerly em
ployed in certain lines of industries. On
the face of these statements, coming from
‘supposed authorative sources, many read
lers of these articles have accepted them
‘as the real solution of the troubles now
\being experienced in all lines of business
and industries.
{ While such theories may, in a way, be
partly responsible for present conditions,f
however statistics do not prove it. B. C.
Forbes, one of the most outstanding
’writers in the United States, on economic
and financial matters takes a different
fview of the situation. In speaking of ma
chinery and its replacement of the em
ploved, Mr. Forbes, says:
“The one most conelusive fact in refu
tation of the allegation that the machine
has been responsible for playing havoc
with industry is that there has been a
smaller decrease in the numbers employed
in industries which have been most revo
lutionized by invention and machinery
than in industries which have made no
such revolutionary progress.
“Actually, there-is a larger percentage
of population employed in manufacturing
than was the case 20 years ago.
“The census figures show the following
percentages of population employed in
manufacturing: 1910, 8.3; 1920, 10.2;
1930, 9.6 percent.”
In rebuttal for the many expressions
and theories as to the cause and cure for
the depression, the foregoing appears to
be a complete answer to all suuch argu
ments. We do not believe that machinery
will wreck civilization nor will it destroy
labor or increase the unemployed condi
tion. Without advancement and impreve
ment in industrial 'lines, this country
would suffes as competitors of foreign
Lnations.
~ This is no time for worrying over what
is to come, but it is a time for optimism
and working to improve conditions rather
than pessimizing over things that cannot
be controlled nor done away with. Better
times are bound to come regardless of im
proved machinery, and that day is not far
distant.
THE VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE
It casts no discredit on other types of
|investment to say ‘that a life insurance
Ipolicy is the safest haven for saving.
Most investments: contain elements of
risk. Under favorable conditions, they re
fturun good profits. Under unfavorable
iconditions profits often dwindle or. disap
pear.
| Life insurance is a different matter.
| Primarily it is for security — secondarily
for reasonable earnings varying with thei
type of policy. It is a means of creating
an estate, of protecting independents, of
guarding against the misfortunes of the
future—not a means of speculation. It is
an investment for persons who do not
want to take chances, who must make
‘sure that their savings are safe.
In these days, a life insurance polidy is
often the only thing of real value in once
sizeable estates. Life insurance is being
used to build up estates which have been
depleted by deprsesion. In times, suuch as
these, it is an investment without a com
petitor. G

land to hang wall paper. .

Prevent Rabies Is

I " (Inspector, Athens and Clarke |
County Department of Heglth-) l
Rabies is an infectious disease |
of animals and man. Dogs are the |
most commons means of spreading |
the disease through bites or in- |
fected saliva to man or animals. |
Rabies is highly fatal and muy]
develop in the person or :,mimuli
bitten from one to six momhsz
later. The usual period of incuhu-!
tion, however, is one .to two or|
three weeks. }
As the result of laboratory re- |
search, devélopment of vaccine and |
suitable health department regula- |
tio\hs, requiring compulsory \'acci<!‘
nation, rabies can. be included in |
the list of preventable diseases. |
The experience of the localg
health depratment and the health
departments of a few other (Z'tiess
in various parts of the Uhited |
States and Europe, has been most |
encouraging in the successful cam- !
paigns for the eraication of ra- |
bies. i
< During the past sixty (60) days, |
2 least twelvej (12) rabid dogs inf
e county area within a couple‘
of miles of Athens have died or
‘been killed. These dogs, so far, |
have appeared at Oconee Heights.l
0:: the Atlanta road, at White- |
hali, and on the Lexington road. i
As a result of the appearances !
of these dogs, followed by labora- }
toi'y examinations of several dog'
heads, ten persons have taken or‘
are taking anti-rabic :reatmentsi
because they were bitten or ex- |
posed to saliva from some of these
| dogs. Statewide vaccination of
dogs would soon prevent such out
breaks.
. The local health department has
recently received requests from
neighboring towns for copies of
our Rabies Vaccination Ordinan

he matter of state-wide vacci~
nation: of all dogs, and destruction
.of stray or homeless dogs, has
been tkaen up with the state vet
