Pretty Patterns That
Are Oh So Practical!
COMEWHAT formal, so that you
can wear it smartly for shop¬
ping and runabout, is the wide¬
shouldered dress with buttons
down the scalloped bodice and
braid used to give the effect of a
bolero. The circular skirt has a
charming, animated swing to it.
In batiste, linen or flat crepe, it’s
a dress you’ll thoroughly enjoy all
summer long.
Indispensable Slacks Suit.
If you’re planning to have a lot
of outdoor fun this summer (and

cut, slim-hipped slacks, and a bo¬
lero with wide revers that you can
wear with daytime frocks, too.
Denim, gingham, flannel or gab

this.

It is generally accepted in
Washington that James A.
Farley is out for the Demo¬
cratic nomination for him¬
self ... Factors that lead to
the popular underestima¬
tion of the importance of
his candidacy . . . Drive for
the investigation of the as¬
sassination of Senator Huey
Long brings out a mass of
contradictory and a few cir¬
cumstantial stories that are
being circulated in Louisi¬
ana and in Washington.
WASHINGTON.—Anyone who dis¬
counts Mr. James A. Farley in pick¬
ing the next Democratic nominee
for the presidency is leaving out a
very important factor indeed.
Big Jim is out for the nomination
himself. It is entirely within the
J. A. Farley
tioned for the nomination, including
President Roosevelt himself, there
is no one who will have more influ¬
ence in controlling where his dele¬
gates go, if and when they leave
him, than Jim Farley.
Politicians of course are human.
They are pretty much like every¬
body else. They look out for No. 1
first, and the double cross is no
more a rarity in politics than it is
in business, on the stage, or wher¬
ever else human interests run into
conflict.
But there is one feature of poli¬
tics which is just a little different.
In the nature of things there cannot
be binding written contracts in poli¬
tics. There is no means of making a
livelihood where so much reliance
has to be placed on promises—and
on verbal promises, for the shrewd
politician does not put into writing
the sort of promises that are impor¬
tant here.
Farley Has Reputation
For Keeping His Promises
It so happens that besides a gen¬
ius for organization, as he proved
when he lined up the delegates for
Roosevelt in 1932, Jim Farley has
an enviable reputation for keeping
his promises. Sometimes he has
been prevented from delivering—by
White House intervention—but there
have been no reports of any impor¬
tant political leader thinking that
Jim double-crossed him.
When Farley could not deliver it
was always a glaring case of the
White House refusing to come
across. It was never another friend
of Farley who got the job.
Meanwhile, in the seven years
that have passed, Farley has kept
up his contacts. He has not forgot¬
ten any politician's first name, nor
his problems, nor his friends, and,
perhaps more important than all,
his enemies. No one catches Far¬
ley handing out pie to some chap
who happens to be the bitter oppo¬
nent of anyone who has been going
down the line for Farley.
It may be remembered that Far¬
ley did not sympathize with the
purge, except perhaps in the one
case of Sen. Millard E. Tydings, and
that he took no part in it whatever.
It was the Brain Trusters, the Cor¬
corans and Cohens and Hopkinses,
who stumped their toes in Iowa, in
Virginia, in Georgia and South Car¬
olina.
There may be something that Far¬
ley has done to irritate the regular
organization leaders in some state,
but reports about it have not
reached Washington. And never for¬
get that in virtually every one of the
states it will be the regular organi¬
zation leaders, primary or no pri¬
mary, who will pick the delegates,
and who will be the leaders of their
state delegations at the convention.
Importance of Farley's
Candidacy Underestimated
Popular underestimation of the
Importance of James A. Farley’s
candidacy is due to two factors:
1. Belief that the defeat of Alfred
E. Smith in 1928 proved that no
Catholic can be elected President of
the United States.
2. Lack of appreciation of Farley’s
political shrewdness and demon¬
strated loyalty to his friends, and
the dividends these two assets might
pay.
As to the first, argument is futile.
Nobody knows. It might be pointed
out in passing, however, that A1
Smith was weighed down by other
elements than the prejudice which
existed against his church in gain¬
ing a foothold in the White House.
For one thing 1928 marked the
high tide of prohibition. Up to that
time the argument that prohibition
was largely responsible for the ex¬
traordinary prosperity which exist¬
ed in this country under Coolidge
realm of possibility
that he may get it,
the experience of
the party in nomi¬
nating Alfred E.
Smith to the con¬
trary notwithstand¬
ing. But an element
of this situation
which has not re¬
ceived the attention
it deserves is that of
all the men who
have been men¬
had not been dissipated by its col¬
lapse under Hoover. At that time
also most people in this country as¬
sumed that prohibition was here to
stay, that all agitation about it was
futile, and that the thing to do was
to try to get along under it.
A1 Smith was also tarred with the
Tammany brush, and few New
Yorkers will ever realize just how
wicked and corrupt most of the folks
out in the country thought the “Ti¬
ger" was.
Hoover had a perfect army of al¬
most fanatical admirers, scattered
Herbert
Hoover
he would produce such efficiency in
government as had never been seen
before.
For these and other reasons the
cards were stacked against Smith.
Perhaps he would have been beaten
anyhow, just because of the relv
gious issue.
Southern Hoovercrats
Forgotten Men of Politics
But those who led the Hoovercrats
in the South are the forgotten men
of politics. There is not one of them
in important political place today
save Frank R. McNinch, and he
flourishes not because he bolted
Smith, but because he agrees with
Roosevelt and most of the liberals
on the public power issue.
This is Important now, in view of
Farley’s candidacy, because every¬
one in the South knows all about it.
No one is going to take the place
played by Bishop Cannon in 1928,
even if Northern suckers hoping for
cabinet jobs and diplomatic posts
could be found again to finance such
a movement. No Horace Mann is
going to play the "man of mystery”
in another presidential campaign.
Not until an entirely new crop of
Southern politicians is reared, a gen¬
eration which does not remember
what happened to the men who
“won the war arid lost the peace
treaty” under Hoover.
If Farley should be nominated for
President he will have to be beaten,
if he is beaten at all, in the North
and West.
The significance of this is that the
Southern leaders will not be as
much disturbed as they were in 1932
by fear of a repetition of 1928. Fear
of A1 Smith drove them to Roosevelt
in 1932, at the convention. They
may prefer various other candidates
to Farley, but there will be no stam¬
pede to any candidate based on fear
of the consequences of Farley’s
nomination.
Start Drive for Inquiry
Into Murder of Huey Long
Apparently a drive has been start¬
ed for an investigation of the assas¬
sination of Sen. Huey P. Long. It
may not materialize, but if it does
it certainly will spoil a lot of stories
which are now being told in Louisi¬
ana—and Washington.
The writer spent two days in New
Orleans recently, and listened to
quite a few circumstantial stories of
the killing of the Kingfish.
Some of the curious conflicts in
stories told with the utmost positive
nest are:
That the bullet fired by Dr. Weiss
never struck Huey at all, the gun
being knocked up by Huey himself
just before Weiss could pull the trig¬
ger. That Huey was actually killed
by a bullet fired by one of his body
guards.
Against this the writer was told
just as positively that Dr. Weiss
held his gun within a few inches of
Huey’s chest, and that Huey
knocked it downward. And that
there was no other wound save that
caused by Weiss’ bullet.
That the bullet which killed Huey
was extracted by the suigeon who
operated, and that it was a .44.
That the bullet which resulted in
death passed through the senator
and was never found.
That the bullet in question was a
.32—the caliber of the pistol Dr.
Weiss used.
Conflicting Stories About
Dr. Weiss, Alleged Assassin
That Dr. Weiss was almost de¬
capitated by the rain of bullets
poured into him, and died instantly.
That Dr. Weiss lived for five min¬
utes after the shooting stopped,
most of the wounds being in his
arms and legs.
That the pistol of Dr. Weiss was
a cheap make.
That the pistol of Dr. Weiss was
a modern, an expensive Browning.
That Dr. Weiss obtained the gun.
because he decided to kill Huey.
That Dr. Weiss always carried a
gun, usually leaving it in his auto¬
mobile.
That if Huey had been operated on
right away he would not have died.
That he was suffering chiefly
from shock, and hence the operation
should not have been performed
right away.
That he was suffering from loss
of blood, and the delay was respon¬
sible for his death.
That it was by the Kingfish's im¬
patient command that the doctor op¬
erated, instead of waiting for his
own surgeons, supposed to be en
route.
Just what good an investigation
would do is questionable.

What to Eat and Why
C. Houston Goudiss Offers Practical Advice
Regarding First Meal of the Day; Some
Breakfast-Time Wisdom for Homemakers
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
-I- T F THERE is one meal that can be regarded as more impor
tant than any other, that meal is breakfast. It comes after
the longest fast and precedes a major portion of the day’s
work. Thirteen hours elapse between a 6; 30 supper and a 7:30
breakfast, and the body engine requires a new supply of fuel
before the daily activities are begun. Yet all too frequently
this first meal is inadequate in food values, and is gobbled in
haste . . . with
that may have a far-reaching
effect upon health.
Men who set forth after a
meager breakfast are licked be¬

their lassitude is due to a skimpy
breakfast. And children who go
to school after an insufficient
morning meal cannot hope to
make good grades in their studies.
They fatigue quickly, find it dif¬
ficult to concentrate and easily be¬
come cross. Moreover they are
apt to experience hunger pangs
during the middle of the morning;
and when it is time for the noon
meal they will either eat too much
or will have lost their appetite,
thus disrupting the entire food
program.
Starting the Day Right
It is therefore essential that
every homemaker recognize the
necessity for providing a substan¬
tial and satisfying breakfast. This
is not difficult to do; nor is it nec¬
essary to spend a great deal of
time in its preparation.
When I hear such complaints as
“My family won’t eat breakfast’’
or “They’re simply not interested
in food in the morning,” I suspect
that the menus are dull and
monotonous; and perhaps mem¬
bers of the household have the bad
habit of sleeping so late that there
is no time to eat properly.
Both situations are easily rem¬
edied, and they are closely linked.
For if the breakfast menus are
made sufficiently attractive, it
won’t be difficult to persuade
every member of the family to
rise a little earlier in order to
enjoy a substantial, unhurried
meal.
A Model Breakfast
A well balanced breakfast in¬
cludes fruit or fruit juice; cereal;
an egg or bacon; bread or toast;
and milk, cocoa or cereal bev¬
erage for the children, with cof¬
fee for the grown-ups. The egg
or bacon may be omitted occa¬
sionally, for an egg may be in¬
cluded in some other meal during
the day. But cereal in some form
is usually the mainstay of the
breakfast menu, and there are

never seem to get
into high gear and
they lack the ener¬
gy to perform their
tasks efficiently.
Homemakers who
find themselves fa¬
tigued and irritable
before the morn¬
ing’s work is com¬
pleted may be sur¬
prised to learn that
many kinds from which to choose
—both hot cereals and cold
cereals.
Hot or Cold Cereal
Some people have the notion
that cereals must be hot in order
to be nourishing. This is a fallacy.
For the nutritive value of a cereal
is determined by the grain from
which it is made and by the man¬
ufacturing process—not by wheth¬
er it is hot or cold. It is desirable
to give whole grain cereals a
prominent place in the diet. This
rule can be followed even when
cold cereals are used. For there
are many nourishing ready-to-eat
cereals made from substantially
the whole grain. These appeal* to
the palate because they are so
crisp and appetizing. And they
supply important minerals, a good
amount of vitamin B and some
vitamin G, in addition to energy
values.
A Cold Cereal Analyzed
It’s interesting to analyze a pop¬
ular ready-to-eat cereal, made
from wheat and malted barley.
We find a wide assortment of nu¬
trients, including protein, energy
values, phosphorus for the teeth
and bones; iron for building rich
red blood; and vitamin B which
promotes appetite and aids di¬
gestion. It has been estimated
that a serving of this cereal—
three-fourths of a cup—with one
fourth cup of whole milk, will pro¬
vide an adult with 7 per cent of
his total daily requirement of pro¬
tein; 11.5 per cent of his calcium,
11.2 per cent of his phosphorus;
9.75 per cent of his iron, and a
total of 125 calories.
Vary the Method of Serving
To help make breakfast inter¬
esting, vary the cereal from day
to day. Or offer a choice of sev¬
eral kinds of packaged ready-to
eat cereals and allow each mem¬
ber of the family to select the one
he prefers. Vary the fruit also.
And occasionally you may com¬
bine fresh, canned or stewed fruit
with cereals to make a “cereal
sundae.” Further variation may
be introduced by using brown
sugar or honey in place of white
sugar. And on occasion the cere¬
als may be baked into muffins,
waffles or pancakes.
It is also possible to serve the
eggs in many different forms—
poached, baked, scrambled or in
a plain or puffy omelet.
If these suggestions are fol¬
lowed, it should be a simple mat-'
ter for homemakers to serve
tempting wholesome breakfasts
that will send their families away
from the table well fitted for the
day’s activities.

Polishing Tip.—Wring out your
polishing cloth in a pint of water
in which a piece of whitening,
about the size of a walnut, has
been dissolved. Use whfo dry.
This gives a splendid polish to
mirrors, brass, and chromium.

Chocolate Substitute.—When us¬
ing cocoa in place of chocolate,
use three and one-half tablespoon¬
fuls of cocoa for each ounce of
chocolate, and add one-half table¬
spoonful butter.
