SEEN«~ HEARD around the National Capital &SSSSSSSS By CARTER FIELD weeSSS Washington.—~During the next few months President Roosevelt will seem to be moving a little toward the right, on every Issue of any consequence ex- cept the public utilities, Actually there will be very little change, but the ap- pearance will seem very Important, and there will be loud cries from the radicals. In fact, the left fringe of the brain trust is already disturbed. So much so that it is feeding out propaganda intended to have a direct effect on Roosevelt personally, It is certainly pot Intended for anyone else, for the last thing these particular radicals want to do is to hurt him. The trou- ble with them is that they have not analyzed the higher politics of the sit- uation, They are worried about an eddy Instead of the main course of the river. And their conversation is so free, at all times, that even If the President was concerned about thelr attitude he would not dare tell them. For In that case they would not be able to rest until they had told their favorite column conductors, just to show they were still in the “inner cir cle” and knew what was going on. The present situation starts, not with the President, but inside the Repub lican camp. Yes—strange as it may seem—there is still such a thing. The Republicans, not all of them but some of their strategists, are simply delight ed with the Huey Long-Father Cough- tin situation. What they want more than anything else in the world is to gee a third party—a very radical third party—with a Presidential ticket In the field next year. Their theary 18, of course, that this radical party will garner a few toral votes—Wisconsin, the Dakotas, possibly Montana. and maybe Wash fngton and Nebraska: that it will poll a very lar some of the big eastern states such as Massachnsetts, New York, New Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana and Illinois- votes In this last group to make that the Republican walk off with the elects elec ge vote In Jersey, ~enongh sure candidate Thes feut— the ral voles fire not wy shout Connect which stond by Hoover, very has su wrying although nor fered so In hat Republicans the hag” majority small, Island, textile Industry t it Is “in wis which its LOE) See California Safe Nor are they worried about Califor nia, whose hig electoral vote is now so essential, The Golden Gate state's re jection of Upton Sinclair, and its out- raged protests the reciproeal trade treaties, makes them sure of It Alto they think. their only problem I= to get the right candidate and the %ight platform!

Mcintyre, the secretary who makes all the President's appoint ments, will not let anyone except con servatives see him! “Scotch” Tied Up Millions of gallons of fine—and per. haps not sn gond—Scotech whisky, are lying In government warehouses, under the eagle eve of Uncle Sam's customs officers, and with little apparent pros pect of being marketed through orl pary channels, This stock offers a fine chance for bargains, If one could only appraise the quality of the liquor In some fash fon. But how to do It? How to tell what Is really good liquor, so to speak, and what would have no appeal what. ever? For the trouble is that this whisky is what the trade calls “unknown brands.” It is perhaps the best argument In favor of heavy advertising for brands and labels that has ever been preseat. ed. For, while this whisky is lying un- solicited and unwanted In the ware houses, running up storage charges and threatening to add freight shipment charges home, the regular brands are moving about as expected. Normally, such a stock of any com modity hanging over the market, would play hob with everybody In that par ticular trade. But the owners of this whisky cannot dump it on the market at whatever the market price happens to be, for there is no market price for an unknown brand, The man who drinks Scotch whisky normally prefers a certaln brand. He may like half a dozen brands. But when he Is buying whisky he buys fringe of his what he thinks Is one of his favorites. he never heard of before, great sacrifice in the price, an Import duty of 86 a gallon, excise duty of $2 a gallon, and other taxes, it is not possible to offer these unknown brands at what looks like a real bargain, The tax col- lectors are not offering to share the marketability. Tried for Clean-up This big undigested stock of Scotch, much of which is in New York, Boston and Baltimore, is the result of two at tempts at speculation when the pro- hibition ban was first lifted. In the a good chance to make a clean-up. They knew that Americans had been buying—from bootleggers—all possibile sorts of liquor with apparently very little concern as to brands or varle- ties. And at very high prices. So they thought they could buy up a lot of whisky cheap In Scotland, ship It to this country on consignment, and take their profits, Meanwhile an equal number of specu- latively inclined persons in this coun- try, who had never been in the liquor distributing business and knew little, if anything, about its ramifications, took out importers’ permits, and ap- plied for large quotas, Then they pro- ceeded to buy large quantities of 1l- quor, sometimes in bottles and some- times having it bottled, All went nice- ly until the liquor arrived in the ports of entry, Then came the problem of selling it. And there were no offers, The drink- ers. who, during prohibition, had taken anything that was wet, inside a good- looking package, were imbued with the idea that they =anted particular brands. The ordinary liquor trade knew how to handle the well-adver. tised brands, and had no Idea of tying up a lot of money In brands that might and at any rate wonld have The real murder, of lies In fact that so large ge of the total cost of a hot. tax, and SURCD of being on the part of the not move, to be pushed, course, the a percenta tle of whisky 1s ptible imported not A severe ent therefore shaved price exclusive of tax would not appear to the enstomer such a big rednetion! t would not deter him from taking his favorite hrand.

Sewing seams the same width is also very important, These two points should always be watched as work pro- gresses, to obtain good results, and not have trouble after work is well under way. Cut the patches from accurate cut-out diagrams. The cut: out diagrams shown here are a set for ‘the “Dresden Plate” and “Bas. ket" qulits, and include allowance for seams. Any width for seams may be used but always use the same width in one qulir, to come out right, Directions for use are very simple. Place cut-out on material so the longest dimension follows the weave, Mark outline with pencil and cut out material carefully Send 10 cents to our qulit dept and we mall you both of these fiber cut-outs set No, 83a and 10a, Address Home Craft Co.—Dept St. Louls, Mo.

MAN'S ANTIQUITY Anthropologists from forty-two na- tions, meeting in London at the con- gress of Anthropological and Ethno- | logleal Sciences, have been told that | the period of man's habitation of the i earth is much longer than previously believed, extending perhaps, to some 16,000,000 years into antiquity. Sir Grafton Elliot Smith, British anthro. pologist, explained that diverse opin- fons still prevail regarding the orl gin of civilization, “but we now have evidence to show that, whether it was Egypt, Sumeria, India or else where, it was the work of the Med terranean race” This fact Is not necessarily Indleative of superior qualities of skill or initiative on the part of this race, he said, but is due to “historical circumstances” that impelled these people “to embark on those pursuits which led Inevitably {c the upbuilding of civilization” BOYS!
