He Fought With Roosevelt.
Kennedy's first meeting with
President Roosevelt came during
the war when the Irish Bostonian
was assistant general manager of
the Fore River shipyards and the
President was assistant secretary
of the navy. It is recalled that the
angry navy official dispatched
troops to take over a ship which
Kennedy refused to release.
Next came three years as man-
ager of the stock department at
Hayden, Stone company, a Boston
banking house, It was there that
Kennedy got the bright idea of buy-
ing American option rights on for-
eign motion pictures. That started
his movie career.
Kennedy was new blood in Holly-
wood, one of the first young busi.
ness men to approach the movie
industry from the banking end.
From 1926 to 1930 he was in the
center of mammoth mergers and
shifts in the big companies. By
1929, just before the crash, he de-
cided to get out of the movie busi-
ness. But during his brief Holly-
wood career he had been president

Kennedy money backed the 1932
campaign and the dynamic Ken-
nedy personality gladdened many
a vote-getting tour. When it was
all over he spent two and a half
months reorganizing Radio Corpor-
ation of America and hobnobbing
with his Wall street friends, trying
to convince them that the world
was changed. They wouldn't listen.
Few people have forgotten the
turbulent days when the Securities
Exchange commission was estab-
lished with Kennedy at its head.
Almost to a man, Wall street bro-
kers protested it would wreck their
profession, But the measure went
through and today you'll find that a
majority of SEC's old opponents
are its staunchest supporters.
After SEC was established he left
the government and returned to
making money again, only to be re-
called when President Roosevelt
needed leadership for the Maritime
commission. He handled American
shipping interests as he had han-

American debutantes cannot appear
before the queen of England unless
Rose Kennedy sanctions it.
If Joe Kennedy engineers the
Anglo-American trade agreement
he will return to the United States
more thoroughly in the spotlight
than ever. Though some may
consider him an ‘‘exile’” in London,
he can recall that five former am-
bassadors to St. James later be-

Danger of Inadequate ‘

Recently there has been
dency to minimize the importance
of the fats and carbohydrates, due
to the craze for dieting. Some of
the results of disregarding the ab-

are extreme irritability, and a
greater susceptibilit to fatigue,
nervous diseases, tuberculosis and
other infections.
