Show si another explanation. Especially as everyone in Washington knew that Senator Coolidge had ideas about two and two making four, and distrusted from a long and successful business experience many of the New Deal economic theories. But Coolidge a term expired, and young Henry Cabot Lodge took his place, so this theory had to be abandoned. Thereupon an entirely new explanation, in addition to the President's hatred of saying unkind things to his friends, was evolved. This was that the President and Mrs. Roosevelt were very fond of Mrs. Woodring. Senator Coolidgs's daughter, and wanted to keep her In Washingtons official life! Be that as it may, and nobody would deny that the Wood rings are a couple of delightful people, the New Dealers, up to a very short time ago, were all for throwing Woodring out and all for putting Louis A. Johnson, assistant .secretary of war, in his place. So, It might be said, was Louis Johnson. NATIONAL AFFAIRS ' By RUTH WYETH SPEARS DEAR MRS.

Things Happen Here and There end Changes Result But things happened abroad, and many things at home have (hanged aa a result The New Dealers no longer want Woodring thrown out Certainly they do not want him thrown out if Louis Johnson is to take his place. They play up now toe alleged rows between Wood ring and Johnson, but always with the thought now that such Insubordination" should not be tolerated I The answer is simple. Louis Johnson is one of the men in the administration who believes that the United States should be prepared Just in case for war. 8o far many of toe left wingers agree with him. But to their horror the New Dealers discovered that Johnson's pet war industries board had prepared a lot of plans for mobilizing industry in toe event of war which apparently had no thought whatever of social and economic reform. They were based on toe idea of and expanding existing privately owned industries. Not a word about nationalization of toe electric industry, or government munitions plants. Apparently the waz and navy departments were not so much interested in preventing anyone from making a profit as they were in getting what they needed! Strange Facts ! Dog Trouble Shooter Many-Pa- ! Then the Joker Appears In the Hiram Johnson Act Thespian rt American courts have held that an auctioneer is not compelled to accept the highest bid. In a Minnesota case, a house was sold to the first bidder for $675 after the second and only other bidder had offered $680. The auctioneer refused to consider such a trifling increase. So the second bidder sued but lost his case on the ground that no contract exists until the offer to purchase is accepted by the auctioneer. Recently, after 16 miles of coaxial cable had been installed three feet underground between two radio stations in England, it was discovered that the outer tube was losing the nitrogen pumped through it to insulate the inner conductor.

Just consult the advertising columns of your newspaper. They safeguard your purchasing power every day of every year. New and thrown In Buckram and Tacks To Stiffen Valance ' Now for the Joker! The British who are talking about all this in Washington are wondering how they can get around the Hiram Johnson act, and finance these purchases of agricultural machinery in the United States. One plan being considered is to organize a corporation to be called toe Agri- cultural Implement company, or something of the sort. It would presumably be a private company, and intended to make a profit out of buying and selling agricultural machinon time. It ery would buy the chinery from the im- Johnaon piement manufac turers, paying cash, and sell the implements in Britain, on credit, the ostensible intention being that when the debts were paid by the British farmers there would be a nice profit on the whole transaction. Actually, however, the stock would not be offered with much of a profit sales talk. It could be circularized without running afoul of securities and exchange commission regulations, because there would be no glittering promises held out The appeal would be almost exclusively to persona who would, were it not for the Johnson act, be buying British bonds, more to make a contribution to British success, or against Hitler, than to make money. The idea would also be to keep the British government as far away from the whole affair, officially, as possible, though actually the desire for a private blessing from the British government would be strong. But the most interesting phase of the whole business is not that American farm machinery makers may get a little business, or that there may be loopholes in the Johnson act but that certain elements in Britain already realize that the big gest question in the whole war ia whether or not Britain can be ma-Hira- m starved. They Wonder How Secretary Wootlring Retains Ills Job For a long time, whenever a group of New Dealers were discussing personalities in the administration in a social gathering, provided of course that certain persons were not present, one would hear wonder that Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring could not take a hint Why. the New Dealers would ask, didn't the Kansan realize that he simply did not fit into the picture, and resign? If one listened to them and believed, one would be convinced that the only reason President Roosevelt did not throw Woodring out on hia ear was that Roosevelt's heart was too soft He could not bear to hurt the feelings of anyone at ones close to him and loyal.
