ROYALTY BUYS'
PORTABLE SETS
London— (UP* —Portable radio
Sets have caught the royal fancy.
The king’s interest in them has
sent a wave of radio enthusiasm
through the royal family.
King George's latest purchase Is
a new type portable, finished in
crocodile skin, and foreign royal
ties who have heard it also have
placed orders for similar sets.
One of the first members of the
royal family to succumb to the
portable was the Duchess of York,
There already was a large family
receiver In her drawing room, which
the Duke made The Duchess, how
ever, wanted a more Intimate affair
for her boudoir. A copy of the
king's five-tube set was prepared
for her so that it should match the
rosewood furniture in her sitting
room, and it was finished in dark
brown leather Instead of crocodile
skin.
Prince George and the Duke or
Gloucester also have bought replicas
of the king’s latest set, while the
Prince of Wales, besides having a
portable set also has a transporta
ble one, for which all current re
quirements are obtained from the
electricity mains.
The kings of Denmark, Italy and
Sweden all have recently acquired
British-made receivers, as also have
the Queen of Rumania and the
Queen of Holland.
Your
Children

Every child needs a little world
of his own — his own room, a
playroom, an enclosed porch, a
shed, or a playhouse. Further
more, the bigger the place he has
to run in outdoors the better. Ha
should have a yard to slide in, in
which to build a snow man, or to
play ball or build things. When I
say "he” I mean girls too, for
now that we are more Intelligent
about childhood we no longer turn
thumbs down on the tomboy. Bless
all the tomboys, says I. It doesn’t
interfere with this business of be
ing a lady, and is conducive to
health and abovt all to an open
mind.
I like the open air for play, but
now we must go back to the sanc
tuary of the playroom for the mo
ment because there are too many
days when weather does not per
mit outdoor fun.
Not long ago I was in a new kind
of playroom—or playhouse rath
er. It was built of logs like a min
iature cabin. In3ide there was a
‘teacher’s” desk and stool and
four tiny desks and benches for
the pupils, two on each side of the
center aisle. Around the walls were
r-'al blackboards. The three win
dow blinds were white but other
wise unlike. On one were unm
bers up to 50, and all the math
ematical signs, on another, small
letters, and on the third, capital
letters.
The whole affair was not over
ten feet long by eight in width,
and I am perfectly sure cost much
less than some toys we see today,
for a carpenter had put even tha
simple furniture together.
A Shift of Scene
The furniture was, by the way’,
movable. Take out the desks and
benches, go up stairs and get Be
linda, and Lady Anne, and Dolores
Celeste, then- bureus, beds, cook
ing stove and trunks and presto—
you have a doll house in earnest.
If your ‘‘girls" are boys, such a
place would make a grand club
house if the crowd could fit into
•an eight by ten sanctum. What a
place for the thousand and two
things that boys think up to do!
Why is it that people build play
houses for gir(3 and so seldom for
bovs?
u* course when we can scarcely
dig up enough money these days
to pay rent or taxes, It seems al
most insane to tala about extra
dwellings “just for the kids to pJay
in.’'
And who knows where to get
logs, anyway And boards cost
money!
Listen, sister. We used to keep
chickens a long, long time ago
when we were first married and
lived in a countrv suburb We
knew as much about building as
w-e did about South Africa. But
we found old boards and nails and
put up a coop that I understand is
still there after 20 odd years A
good solid coop that—and we raised
prized chickens too.
We never had enough sense to
Put up a playhouse, but oh, how
I wish now that we had. Children
need a place of their own where
they can have a world not ever
lastingly under the noses of their
elders.
They need play houses, or shan
ties. They need yards. They need
a lot of things. It isn’t long until
spring and it Is time to plan.

Here’s an idea for the hostess who

A Labor View of Al Smith \
'
By W. C. Harris, Editor of Labor News, Council Bluffs, la.
Al Smith, speaking at the Jefferson day jubilee, told
the democrats, “I will take my coat off and fight to the
end against any candidate who persists in any demagogic
appeal to the masses of the working people of this country
to destroy themselves by setting class against class and
rich against poor.”
As for the bond issue proposal Smith said that it at
least is better than nothing and infinitely better than the
continuance of the disguised dole in the states and mu
nicipalities encouraged by the federal government until
the localities had given to a point of exhaustion.
Smith’s program in addition to the bond issue calls for
a 20-year moratorium on foreign debts and a writing off
from the debts each year of 25 per cent of the gross value
of American products “which they buy from us.”
Smith said, “This country is sick and tired of listening
to political campaign orators who tell us what is the mat
ter with us.”
“It is a perfectly easy thing to say we must restore the
purchasing power of the farmer. Fine! Of course w? must,
but how are we going to do it?”
We protest Al Smith’s endeavor to delude the Ameri
can people to their ruin by trying to make them believe
our army of 10 million unemployed will secure work, and
the farmers will get a profit on their products by accepting
the international bankers’ scheme to save the people with
their 5 billion dollar bond issue. Al Smith failed to tell his
listeners that the present depression and unemployment
and farmers bankruptcy was the outcome of the Harding,
“Back to Normalcy Scheme” of 1920 when the Federal Re
serve Bank system started the ball rolling—deflation—
when it withdrew 3 billion dollars of currency and burnt
it up in the city of Washington and called the hand of the
borrowers to pay 5 billion dollars in the credit loans which
have been made. This act of international bankers broke
the American farmer, industry and the small business man
—then with their further scheme in 1930 when Wall Street
was on a tear and stocks were booming high the Federal
Reserve put on the brakes with a 20 per cent interest rate
on call money. This caused the stock crash which lost for
the American investors over 15 billion dollars.
Now A1 Smith, the decoy duck for the democrat party
and the International Bankers mouth-piece, threatens the
democrat candidates to stop attacking the rich and de
fending the poor, and give the Federal Reserve Bank Sys
tem another shot at the taxpayers with a 5 billion dollar
bond issue—not for the purpose of helping the farmer, la
bor and industry but to deliver the government entirely
over to the bankers, boots, saddle and all.
But many of A1 Smith’s former supporters are wise and
they don’t propose that the bank racketeers shall get an
other chance to rob the people and, Congressman Patman
of Texas has called the bluff and demands that Congress
follow the Constitution of the United States—and, that
Congress shall issue the money and create its value—not
borrow money from the bankers but issue 2 billion, 400 mil
lion dollars and pay the soldiers’ bonus in government cur
rency, and when this is done the Federal Reserve Bank
*«cket will be burst and blown higher than Gilroy’s kite,
and prosperity will be again with us in the United States.
Lippmann and Roosevelt |
, -'
From the Omaha World-Herald.
While big business, through its various spokesmen, has
been attacking Governor Roosevelt violently as a radical
demagogue, Walter Lippmann has joined with numerous
pink radicals and parlor socialists, less wise than himself,
in the criticism that he is only a conservative thinly
painted to look like a progressive.
If the governor accomplished nothing more in his St.
Paul speech he did succeed, apparently, in disabusing Lipp
mann’s mind of that notion. For this able commentator
now admits at St. Paul Roosevelt exhibited “a breadth of
vision and an understanding of principles which are en
titled to ungrudging praise.” He finds that Roosevelt “is
genuinely conscious of the size and of the variety of the
| American nation, and sincerely on his guard against let
ting his sympathies become narrowed andihis understand
ing localized.” And he concludes with the verdict that upon
the two issues Roosevelt specifically discussed—public
utilities regulation and the tariff—he showed himself to
be possessed of “an exceptional grasp of the main prin
ciples.”
And this, from Lippmann, in the light of his previous
unsparing attacks on the popular governor of New York,
is a great deal. It is more, we believe, than he has been
willing to say of any other man considered for the presi
dency by either of the great parties. For multitudes of citi
zens anxious for competent leadership in a time when so
little leadership of any kind has been in evidence, it will
be enough. For if a prospective leader has breadth of vi
sion and a right understanding of fundamental principles,
if he is national minded and free from narrow prejudices,
if he has an exceptional grasp of the power and tariff
problems and holds the progressive attitude toward them,
then, surely, he is the kind of leader for whom we have
been seeking.
Lippmann, however, because Roosevelt is a good poli
tician, quarrels with him now on that account. Lippmann
must realize, as Roosevelt realizes and every informed man
realizes, that the democratic party, like the republican
party, is demoralized by discordant elements and conflict
ing interests and points of view. 11 it is to be made capable
of service it must be held together rather than driven
apart. It would be a comparatively easy task to accentuate
and embitter its differences. It is a far harder undertak
ing to unify it as an effective fighting force for progres
sive and liberal principles. And it is this that Roosevelt,
carefully and wisely, with no yielding of essentials, is striv
ing to accomplish. There are three objectives ahead of him;
his nomination; his election; the building of a powerful
and virile party that will follow him loyally in the cam
paign and support him as presic? nt.

EVADE INCOME TAX
IN DEVIOUS WAYS
Income nnd other taxes are very
heavy, especially In Great Britain,
where they are 22 to 23 per cent of
very moderate Incomes. Conse
quently many efforts are made to
evade them legally. By a quirk in
the shipping laws, a yacht owner
living In his boat Is not taxed, aud
one such "home” may be seen at
Monte Carlo, whore it has been
moored for years.
Tim author, Compton Mackenzie,
well-known novelist, has leased the
tiny island of Jethou, which lies
with its smaller sislw, Herm, Just
east of Guernsey, In the Channel is
lands. Curiously, this lease is taken
from the British government, at un
absurd figure—amounting to perhaps
$1 n week—and if the novelist lives
there s'x months in I lie year he may
live in England ilsetf the other six
months nnd entirely escape the in
come burden.
Bv virtue of his investment, lie
may fly Ids own flag and assume
many feudal privileges of the an
cient duchy of Normandy, for these
Islands are a part of that dukedom.
There are no taxes on tobacco, spir
its, i n gun licenses, nor has he » tux
to pay to his lorn! government.
llerm, next door, also was leased
In a similar way, and has a curious
history of its lease to Prince Blucli
er of Waldsfadt, Germany, great
grandson of Blue her, the general of
the battle of Waterloo. The late
Prince Blucher was strongly attract
ed to the Australian kangaroo and
bred them on llerm. The island Is
now in Its original slate and the kan
garoos have vanished.

Food elements
in both were the same
CHEMICALLY, two baby foods can be
exactly alike. The same percentage of
carbohydrate, fat, protein, mineral salts.
The same vitamins.
Yet on one, a baby may lose weight,
grow thin and weak. And on the other,
that same baby can flourish and gain and
take on new life. What’s the reason ? ..;
Digestibility.
Digestibility of prime importance!
Doctors know that a baby can starve on
what is apparently the most perfectly
“balanced” formula if his body cannot
use the food elements it contains. Only
a food which is easily and completely
digested and assimilated can give to your
baby the full amount of building material
his little body needs.
Countless doctors and mothers have
found this out through actual experience.
And that is why Eagle Brand, over a
period of 75 years, has won a marvelous
reputation as an infant food. For Eagle
Brand, next to mother's milk, is the
easiest form of milk in all the world to
digest. In bsby’s stomach, Eagle Brand
forms soft, fine curds, like those formed
by mother's milk. Every drop of Eagle
Brand is quickly assimilated, goes quick
ly into the making of bones and teeth,
muscle and tissue, energy and strength.
This milk can build 100% babies!
And what a builder Eagle Brand is!
Recently, in a world-famous baby clinic,
twu physicians—specialists in their field
—fed a group of 50 average babies on
Eagle Brand for several months, to test
its exact value in baby building. Bone
structure was studied with the X-ray.
Tooth development was watched*
Weight and height were periodically
recorded. Blood tests were made .;; and
those 50 Eagle Brand babies, judged by
every known test, proved themselves
splendidly nourished.
This simple diet—Eagle Brand with the
usual supplementary foods*—had proved
equal in every way to the building of 100%
babies.
What overwhelming proof that the
mother whose own milk fails can put
her baby on Eagle Brand with perfect
confidence!
Try Eagle Brand. See the simple in
structions on the label. And send for
the new booklet “Baby’s Welfare.” It
gives feeding schedules, full directions
for baby’s care, together with pictures
and life stories of Eagle Brand babies.
