CATTON’S COMMENT
BY BRUCE CATTON
Every so often the American public has to get
its blood pressure raised by some argument that
isn’t very important, and today the question at issue
seems to be: was Al Smith invited to sleep at the
‘White House or was he not; if so, what of it?
Mr. ‘Smith has been invited frequently, says the
White House, Mr. Smith has been invited very
rarely,« if at all, says Mr .Smith. The one sure
thing ‘Seems to be that, regardlesg of the number
or the,warmth of the invitations, he has not been
sleeping there and doesn’t propose to.
This set-to, of course, puts the final stamp and
seal on the breaking of a distinguished friendship.
It was a friendship that had important consequences
for the nation, while it lasted; for if it had not been
for the urgings of Mr. Smith, Mr, Roosevelt would
not have bhecome governor of New York state, and
if he had not been governor, he likely would never
have gone on to the presidency. ;
But the friendship has gone sour, long since, and
all that is left of it today is an undignified squabble
whmlt‘fls entertaining, but hardly constructive.
The reason it has people talking, of course, is that
the break is a symptom ot an important change
which is coming over American politics,
It would be a mistake to suppose that mere per
sonal reasons are at the bottom of the row, They
may enter into it, ot course, but they are not fun
damental.
At bottom, the quarrel is indicatil/e of a strong
new current which, running through the Democratic
party, ig bearing some men in one direction and
sending others off in another
Whatever the New Deal may or may not amount to,
and whatever its virtues and its faults may add up
to, pue thing at least is obvious; in a more or less
confused way it does represent a - definite political
philesophy, a definite view of the place which gov
ernment ought to occupy in the nation’s gocial and
economic lite.
~By the same token the opposition to the New Deal

m. represents an equally definite opposing phil
osophy.

Modern campaigns, too often, have been mere
scrambles for. jobs, with the opposing candidate em
bodying much the same set of principles, if any.
_ Back of the Smith-Roosevelt row lies a revival

with something really serious,
All in the Game

'TO OUTLAW SPEEDY AUTOMOBILES
The proposed bhill of Congressman
Ramspeck, of the Fifth Congressional dis
trict, outlawing speedy automobiles and
restricting the speed of automobiles to 60
miles an hour, has met with general favor
throughout the country and with the
members of both branches of congress.
The measure will prohibit the ship
ment of automobiles from one state to an
other capable of doing a greater speed
than 60 miles an hour. In these days of
competition and improvements in auto
imobiles, manufacturers are naturally
’striving to outdo each other and the great
er the speed manufacturers can build
their cars, the greater is the demand for
speedy automobiles by motorists,
% The ever-increasing number of accidents
and fatalities has grown at an alarming
rate during recent years, and unless some
‘thing is done to check the onslaught of the
reckless driver, there is no estimating the
degree to which damage to life and prop
erty will extend. |
The bill of Congressman Ramspeck
should be enacted into law, and we be
lieve that it will, but while it is pending'l
before congress, motor clubs, citizens and
officials of states and municipalities
should urge their congressmen and sena
tors to support and vote for the Ramspeck
bill. While the appropriation bill and the
bonus appropriation for the veterans are
the high lights before congress at the
present time, yet a bill of such grave im
portance as the anti-speed law should
take top place on the calendar.
Congressman Ramspeck is to be com
mended on his efforts to have enacted into
law a bill that will prohibit manufac
turers from building automobiles capable
of a speed of more than 60 miles an hour.
FOREST FIRES IN FLORIDA
i Forest fires in Florida have provegi
ldamaging to a large area during the past
(few months. The state forester has called
'on the people of that state and especially‘
‘tourists to be on their guard against
throwing stumps of cigarettes and cigars
‘from automobiles, Often these stumps ig
'nite the dry grass and other rubbish and
'soon the fire spreads destruction and de
vastation over property.
| Building fires on the roadside by camp
ers has proved another menace that has
| cost the people of that state thousands of
dollars. These tourists forget to put the
fires out, and leave them smouldering, the
| wind blows the flames and often carry its
ravages over miles of uncultivated land,
| destroying everything in the way of vege
'tation. The past season has been one of
'an unusual number of forest fires, not
'withstanding the efforts of the state for
| estry organization to control and suppress
these fires. Much damage to property
'and loss to property owners have resulted
| from these wild fires.
| Georgia, especially, in the southern sec
tion of the state has suffered heavy losses
from forest fires. The origin of practical
1y all of such fires is traceable to camp
| ers, who leave fires on the roadside burn
!ing. Whenever a camper or tourist spends
the night on the roadside or in the forest,
before departing the next morning, he
ishould see to it that the last vestage of
| fire is destroyed. Taking such a_ precau
‘tion, thousands of dollars can be saved for
| property owners.
FEMALES OUT LIVE THE MALES
1t is interesting to note statistics com
piled by “Georgia Health,” shows that fe
male babies outlive the males. Fewer of
the female infants die, while the male
babies born outnumber the girl infants.
In commenting on the waning of mascul
inity, the Georgia Health publication,
says:
“According to the census of 1830 there
were 9,908 more males than females in
Georgia, but one hundred years later in
1930 there were 39,661 more females
than men. This change in the sex com
position of our population has taken place
notwithstanding the fact that annually
more male babies are born than females.
It makes one wonder what happens to our
male population. In 1934 there were 33,-
038 male babies born alive and 31,577 fe
male babies, which is 1,461 more males
than females. 5
“Vita] statistics show that from concep
tion of life the chance of a male surviving
is less than a female. Last year for every
1,000 live births there were 71.8 male
babies born dead, 55.4 female still births.
The infant mortality—that is, deaths un
der 1 years of age per 1,000 live births—
was 72.4 for males and 71.1 for females.
Up to five years of age the boy’s chance
of living is very much less than the girl’s.
However, from five years of age up to 44
years the male’s chances are almost as
good as the female’s, but from 45 years
of age and over the death rates for males
are noticeably higher than for females.
“It does not seem logical that the males,
who are presumedly stronger than the fe
male, should have a higher mortality, but
such are the vital statistic facts.”
The foregoing statistics are worthy of
note and show completely that the female
baby has an advantage over the male
baby in living to a mature age.

Against the wishes of her
grandmother, aristocratic Mrs.
Willard Cameron, Dana West
brook marries Dr. Scott Stan
leyl, struggling young physi
cian.
Before her marriage, Ronald
Moore had been in love with
her. Nancy, Dana’s half-sister,
loves Ronald, but hides her
feeling behind a disdainful
attitude.
Both Mrs. Cameron and
Paula Long, who has loved
Scott for years, hope the mar
riage will not last.
Dana becomes aware of
Paula’s infatuation for her
husband. After a misunder
standing, she goes to her
grandmother’s home. Mrs.
Cameron decides to do all she
can to make ‘the separation
permanent.
Ronnie is a comforting
friend, but Dana remains dis
consolate, believing Scott
loves Paula. Scott, meanwhile,
thinks Dana left him because
she was tired of being poor.
After six months, Dana de
cides to divorce Scott, believ
ing that is what he wants.
Scott has been taken into
partnership by Dr Osborne.
The day of the divorce, the
Osborne plan a yatching
party, including Scott. Dana
hears of the trip and believes
Scott is showing his indiffer
ence to their broken marriage.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXXVIII
Late summer drifted into early
fall. L.eaves turned from green to
gold, and a brisk win d, rustling
tall branches, tossed colorful lit
tle patches at Dana's feet.
She was walkifg swiftly, a
jauntly little hat tipped slightly
at the side of her head. The hat
was brown, iike her dress.
Strands of chesnut hair were
whipped loose and blew against
her cheek. ]
- She heard steps behind her and
a deep masculine voice called,
“Are you practicing a sprint
ing marathon?”
Dana whirled. “Ronnie. Ron
nie!"”
“The same, in person. What a
chase you have led me! Your
. grandmother said you were on
’your way to the library, with
- about a five-minute start. Say—
'the way you travel! People fell
’ out of their cars watching me be
ing outdistanced by a woman.
’ Dana said, “Oh, Ronnie, I'm
iglad you're back!” The words
- came in a little rush.
| “Honestly, Dana? You shouldn't
’fnol me?”’ Ronnie’s hands tight
’oned on hers.
| “l wouldn't fool you. Don’'t
ever go chasing off around the
’ world again.”
. “Never expect to—alone,” Ron
l nie said.
There was something signifi
cant in his voice. Something sig
nificant, too, in the way he was
looking at her, smiling.
| She said quickly, “Grace and
Bill are having a party out at
their lodge on the lake. She,
heard you were coming today—
I don’t know how—and asked me
if I could inveigle you to come
along.”
‘l'm inveigled,” Ronnie smiled.
“That is, if you're going. I sup-
IDOSG QGrace heard from Paula
' that 1 was back. Paula was on the
same steamer, and we came
from New York on the same
train.”
“Paula!” Dana's face whitened.
She walked on, saying nothing.
“Yes. It wouldn't surprise me
if Paula and that Britisher who's
heen trailing after. her wouldn't
be at the party. You remember
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENBLG"!Q!GW!A”
“Yes,” Dana said.
“If you’d rather not go-——" Ron
nie began.
Dana shook her head. ‘“No,
we'll go. How could it matter to
me now?” She turned and looked
at Ronnie with a queer, detached
expression.
“Paula was looking fit,” Ronnie
said, trying to make his voice
sound casual. “The man who is
visiting her is a cruise trophy.
Rather interesting fellow. He's an
explorer who has seen and done
about everything, chased bandits
in Nicaragua, hunted in Africa)
lived among remote Indian tribes.
A hard-bitten, restless type.
“An adventurer,” Dana said.
“In a way,though I understand
there is a bona fide title that he
has democratically discarded. Tell
me about yourself.”’
“I've been going places again,
lots of places,” Dana said. “Doing
things.”
Ronnie searched her eyes and
Itoumd the shadows and a restless
glint. Dana was looking more
'beautiful than ever. Smarter.
A car whirled by and Mrs.
Weathsersby leaned out to bow
dand, smile. “There’s Ronnie
Moore!” she said to her compan
ijon. “Well, now it won't be long,
1 guess, before Dana Stanley will
be Mrs. Millons. Maybe Ronnie
would sidestep if he knew how
scandalously she’s been behav
ing.”
“Scafndalously ” the other wo
man said. “I never heard a word
of scandal.”
“If it isn’t scandalous to turn
night into day, to be here, there
and everywhere with a flock of
men jumping after her like a Jlot
of trained clowns, I don't know
what you would call it! But T
guess Ronnie will jump higher
than any of them.”
Paula and Danag met at the edge
of the lake. Paula was in a
motorboat that was about to leave
the shore. The man with her had
blond hair that had been tinged
bronze my many suns, and an in
teresting, weatherbeaten face.
Paula wore green slacks with a
sweater and a green scarf about
‘her shoulders. Her red hair
flamed under the sun. Her mu
tinous mouth was carmined bril
liantly.
Dana stood for a moment with
out speaking, watching a lambent
glow leap to Paula’s somber eyes.
“.‘Lo, Dana!” Paula cried then.
“It's grand to see you. Excuse me
for not getting out of the boat and
properly greeting you, darling.”
“Excused,” Dana said in an even
voice. “How are you, Paula?”
“Never better,” Paula said. She
turned to her companion. ‘I am
about to introduce you to Dana
Stanley with the warning that, ot
my knowledge, she always get her
man. The best thing Dana does is
to strew the local green with dis
carded hearts. Dana, Cyril Lan
caster.”
“Do I look like that?” Dana
asked Paula’s companion.
“Yes,” he said, “vou do. But I
never run from danger.”
Paula’s expression was none too
pleased, Dana saw, as the boat
moved away.
“Look out there, Dana,” Bill
teased. “Paula’'s picked herself a
nice English lord. Are you going
to vamp him in short order?”’
Cynthia Baxter drawled: “Might
be safer not to trespass on Paula’s
hunting preserves, darling.”
Dana answered gaily, her
thoughts racing along a differeat
path.
Why had Paula invited this
Englishman here? Was he to be
the lever to pry Scott into a pro
posal? No, that was absurd. If
Scott loved Paula—and of course
he did—such tactics would be un
neccessary. - Cyril Lancaster was
probably merely a cruise acquaint
ance with a flexible itinerary and
Pauln was carrying on the much
neralded tradition of southern hos
n ality.
«At dinner that night Dana
found the Englishman at her side
and, abaost immediately, he was
mecaopolizing her attention.
“I wouldn’'t dare suggest fishing
at daybreak to Paula,” he said.
“There isn't a fish in the sea that
she would allow to interfere with
her beauty sleep. But I think you
might enjoy it. Want to come
along?”
Dana was about to refuse when
she found Paula looking at her
coldly, curiously. Dana thought
bitterly: “She can take my hus
band away from me, but she dares
me to look at any man who is in
terested in her.” ‘
Warm color splashed Dana’s
sheeks like banners of defiance.
“T’'d love to,” she said.
With the house wrapped in
darkness, Dana came out on the
porch in the early houts. She wore
white linen slacks, a brown shirt,
and carried an enormcus sun hat.l
Cyril Lancaster gave her an ap
proving nod. “Nice of you not to]
let me down. I rather counted on
you. And so did our host. He
ordered breakfast for us, I gee.”
Shortly afterward they were
shoving away from shore. The
lake, at this hour, was covered
with an enveloping blanket of fog
that presently would be rolled
away by the sun. As the boat
moved toward the middle of the|
lake, the great, mossdraped cy
press trees rising darkly along the
shore were swallowed in the gray
mist.
“There's*a theory that fishing is
better .on the other side of this
lake,” Dana said.
Lancaster smiled, *“The other
side of the pasture, you know,” he
ctaid. “But maybe that's why that
bunch of doctors are fishing over
there.”
‘Doctors?”* Dana exclaimed.
“Bill Richardson said a group
of physicians were on a fishing
party at a club directly across
from us.”
“Oh!” said Dana. :
She was being silly. There were
doctors—and doctors. “Let’'s stay
on this side,” she suggested.
“Better have a look at the shore
line ' over there first,” the Eng
lishman said. “There may be
something back of that theory.”
The fog was beginning to lift,
and He let the motor out. Spray
splashed against Dana’s face.
“Shall I slow up? I'm afraid you'll
get a wetting.”
She shook her head negatively.
“I'm dressed for a wetting.”
“Watch us take this curve
then!”
Without warning, almost in
their path, a dark blur appeared.
The motorboat lurched, missed
the dark object by inches, spun
dizzily for-a moment. A hoarse
shout followed them.
“All there?’ Lancaster asked
anxiously.
“I think so,” Dana gasped. She
was feeling rather shaken. The
dark spot had been a boat in their
path, a group of early fishermen
doubtless.
“I owe those fellows an apolo
gv,” said Dana’'s companion. He
turned the boat and started back.
In another moment they were
close to the other motorboat.
“Hi, there!” called the English
man cheerfully. “That was a
darned fool thing tp do, chasing
about at such speed on a foggy
morning. I almost knocked you
chaps for a loop.”
“Well, damn you! Don't take any
more fool chances with—w With that
girl aboard.”
Dana caught her breath sharp
lyv. Was she never to be able toi
subdue that unruly heart of mf}
Social Security Act
Called “Significant”
By Secretary Perkins
WASHINGTON.— (&) —~Calling
the social security act ome of the
“most significant” of the genera
tion, Secretary Perkins declares
that Ameriecan workers ‘‘can ex
pect in the future a definite secu
rity and protection from the most
unpreventable economic disas
ters.”
Referring also to the Wagner
labor disputes Ilaw, and other
state and federal legislation, the
labor secretary added in her an
nual report for the fiscal year
ended last June 30:
“We have come to the point in
our American life when it seems
obvious that every wage earner
should expect as a result of the
laws . . . that he will work un
der sound conditions which give
him personal protection.”
Miss Perkins listed as ‘“within
this code of application”:
I—Generous workmen’'s com
pensation insurance, -
2—Strict laws with regard to
the guarding of machinery to
prevent accidents.
3—Prevention of occupaticnal
disease.
4—Building and arrangement of
buildings to prevent loss of life
and accident by fire; prevention
of overcrowding,; adequate ventil
lation; sanitation.
b—Shorter hours. 7
6—Prevention of child labor
under 16.
~ 7—-A sound minimum wage law
with a procedure to prevent ex
ploitation.
.~ B—Provision for the collection
of wages for those denied
“through fraud, carelessness, or
otherwise.”
~ She said these seemed to be
‘minimum standards which every
‘wage earner has a right to expect,
contending there is ‘‘practically
no real and sound opposition to a
program of this sort in any state,
but there have been Ilapses of
performance.”
- The National Labor Relations
Board established by the Wagner
Lact. gives an “enduring sanction
to the collective bargaining prin
ciple,” Miss Perkins declared.
“While the number of strikes
in 1934 \ra.s roughly equal to the
number fn 1933,” she reported,
“there were nearly twice as many
as in the depression years preced
ing 1933. There were considerably
fewer strikes in 1934, however,
than during the war and the
yvears immediately following.”
In trade disputes involving
large numbers of workers ap
pointment of special meditation
boards resulted in effecting ‘“sat
isfactory scttlements,” the labor
head contended.
Holding the unemployment
“picture indicates a general im
provement during the fiscal year,”
the secretary called the upward
movement in the durable goods
industry ‘“an encouraging sign.”
" Tk United States employment
service, she asid, registered 4,-
117,144 new applicants during the
fiscal year, and made 2,781,732
placements in gainful employ
ment. Of these 367,870 were war
veterans.”
Hour glasses and sundials
were invented by the ancient
Egyptians.
She searched the shadowy faces
frantically .
Suddenly she and Scott were
staring at each other,
