' Thomas .Jefferson, Radio Has Put Crimp in Party Oratory If is impossible to look back at the political conventions without reflecting on the tremendous change which the radio has wrought in American politics. And the tough part about it is that politics has not yet adjusted itself to the change. Time was when a convention was a place for leather-lunged leather-lunged orators and rapid-fire debate. A day's session ran . from dawn to dusk and the delegates figuratively stripped to the waist, had at one another with whatever weapons were handy, and emerged with an honest feeling- that they actually had come to grips with the pressing issues of the day. Biit the moment someone slipped a microphone into the convention hall, the picture changed. First of all, the old-style orator was hopelessly crippled. What price, now, the booming voice, the impassioned gestures, ges-tures, the hoarse crescendo, the restless pacing of the plat-Jorm? plat-Jorm? On the air they go for Sweeney. The microphone wants a voice that is soft and well modulated, it has no use for gestures, and it absolutely bars lunging and pacing. The old-style convention orator compares com-pares with the radio variety as a grand opera singer compares com-pares with a crooner. i Nor is that all. The orator nowadays can never forget ' that the delegates in front of him aie not a thousandth part yf his audience. He cannot talk directly to them ; he must pick eVery word and every inflection with his great invisible audience in mind. To try to stampede his convention with a Cross of Gold speech would be worse than useless. It is the audience outside out-side the hall that he wants, and it is eternally beyond the reach of a stampede And tKat leads us to another point. Uncensored debate becomes an almost impossible luxury when the radio is turned on. i 4c Suppose that some outspoken party man sincerely differs dif-fers with the program of the party leaders and desires to take the floor to fignt it ; a Bill Borah at Cleveland, far instance, in-stance, or a Carter Glass at Philadelphia. What happens ? The entire nation hears his speech. He immediately presents the appearance of one who is seeking to destroy party harmony; indeed, to a certain extent he actually ac-tually does destroy it. What he could have done with perfect propriety in the old, pre-microphone days, has become an almost unthinkable -breach of party loyalty. Sj, he keeps .quiet. These are more than surface changes. Thev go to the heart of our political organization. They mean that we no longer can (get the results that we used to get out of our traditional party machinery. For a convention that cannot bo swayed by the passionate passion-ate arguments of a great leader, and that cannot indulge in anything resembling honest debate, is not a deliberative body in any real sense of the word. The radio has given our two great parties an exceedingly exceeding-ly knotty problem to solve. Solve it they must, if democratic demo-cratic government is to function properly. An eastern doctor says modern woman "wants her mate to dominate her." It is assumed that the doctor will give free treatment to husbands who try out his theory.

From among these settlers arose Jose Gervasio Artigas, powerful, intrepid intre-pid leader of a ragged people who were continually being oppressed by the Spanish and Portuguese. When revolt struck South America in 1810, Artigas, then 46, led an army against Montevideo, ernor. Everywhere his country headquarters of the Spanish gov- men acclaimed him, and his army increased in size, but when the Portuguese came to help the Span ish rout the rebels. Artigas fled. Then began a grand exodus of 13,000 men. women, and children under Artigas. across the Uruguay river to Argentina, where for five years he ruled as their protector. When the Portuguese turned against the Spanish, they opened the way for Artigas' return. But his lieutenants betrayed him, his people and his army were pov- erty-stricken, and the Fortuguese r r rw sr troops again at- tacked him.

The saw is powered by a gasoline engine-and is mounted mount-ed at the end of a hollow aluminum alum-inum pole. The saw, of circular design, is whirled by a flexibly drive shaft. Without climbing a worker can trim off dead or useless use-less limbs as high as 15 feel above the ground. The 60-lb. unit is fmlled from tree to tree on a small toboggan sledge. $ y A New York inventor has invented in-vented a new type insecticide spray which is fired from shotgun shot-gun shells instead of being sprayed spray-ed from a liquor conluiner. Convention-type shells are loaded with compressed wads of poisonous dust in-stead of lead shot. When fired to a tree the slugs will burst releasing a shower of insect-kill- ing powder through the branches. EDGEMONT MilS.

They have concluded that it definitely defin-itely is a phenomenon of nature. What they say is that man has been mistaken blaming himself for droughts ever since the days of Columbus. During his second voyage, in 1494, Columbus noted in his log the daily showers in Jamaica, and reasoned that such showers were not enjoyed in the islands of Spain because "the woods are cut down that shaded them." Forests, however, do not produce pro-duce rain; they merely help retain moisture. What Columbus should have noted was that the trees did not grow along Spanish islands because they got no rain. On the other hand, the denuding of forests and the plowing up of prairie grass has contributed to dust-storms and the quick run-off of water, so there is less reserve in the soil when drought does hit jthe country. 5C S ROUGH TREATMENT : Uncle Dan Roper's business advisory ad-visory council, supposed to cement happiness and contentment between be-tween the New Deal and big business, busi-ness, has decided to go into eclipse for the duration of the campaign. This decision was not entirely voluntary- It was more or less J forced on the council at an unrecorded unre-corded conference with the president presi-dent not long ago. Some of the business bigwigs on the council thought it would be a ood idea to tell Roosevelt why big business couldn't stomach the New Deal. An emissary was dispatched to Marvin Mclntyre, White House secretary, to demand an appointment, appoint-ment, "preferably a luncheon engagement. en-gagement. The tone and manner of the spokesman was that of a big busi ness mogul giving a command to an underling. When tnis reacneo tne ear or the president he hit the ceiling. He to'd Mclntyre to tell the coun cil he would let them have a half hour when it could be convenient ly fitted into his schedule. But luncheon was out. The conference, when it finally did take place, was not what the callers anticipated. Instead of their doing the talking, the president presi-dent took the floor. In pointed language he read them a lecture on "chiselers" and critics. He cited the fact that, while business men were denouncing administration policies, production, sales and pro fits were soaring to 1929 levels. The business men had little to say in reply. Shortly after this conference, the council decided to adjourn for the summer, jj, . jf, MAIL ABG F. B. M., New York Successor to Controller General McCarl is expected hourly.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXV rpOBY'S eyes searched Hillyer's. "You mean," she said, "that it's some one I know?' She's your daughter, and you've only just found out, about It? She doesnt know it, -either?" "No," Hlllyer said, "she doesn't know either. I suppose it will be a shock to her." He smiled. "How do you suppose she's going to take it? What do yon think of me as a father, anyhow? Think I'll make the grade?" "I don't know why not. I think ua'd make a wonderful father." He was silent a moment, his eyes directly on "hers. "Do you really mean that, Toby?' "I certainly do. But where Is she, and when am I going to see her? I'm terribly excited about all this.- Did you say I know her?" "Yes, you know her. Very well. Pll tell you her name a little later. You've heard my life story, Toby or most of it. The rest can be told la a few words. Since there seemed to be nothing else to do, I went to work to make money. The Hlllyer Soap Company was a small concern con-cern when my father owned it; I've made it bigger. "But we've oeen talking about my affairs all evening. Now won't you tell me; about yourself ?" She smiled, "There's nothing to tell. You know that I used to live with my aunt in Jackson Heights. When she died I had to leave school and start earning a living liv-ing " "But your parents. What about them?" "I don't know much about them," Toby said soberly. "I wish I did. Aunt Gen never seemed to want to talk about them. I've wondered so many times what my mother was like and wished that I knew someone some-one who used to know her: It's strange, isnt it: her name was Mary, too. If was a pretty name, i think Mary Fern."

My father and mother both died when I was bo small I don't remember re-member anything about them at all. I have a picture of my mother, though. It's in a locket." "-A. picture?" Hlllyer asked. From a pocket he took an old-fashioned, yellow gold watch and snapped the case open. He held it toward Toby. Was the picture," he said, "like this?" "Why why 1" She stared up at him. "That's my mother's picture," pic-ture," she exclaimed. "Where did you get it?" Her? hand lay on the table. Hlll yer i avered it with his own. "She gave it to me," he said gently. "Toby, my dear, your aunt evidently evident-ly didn't want you to know the truth about your parents. She changed the story. Don't you understand un-derstand what I've been trying all evening to tell you? You're the daughter I've found, Toby. Ypu!" ' "I'm I'm your daughter?" "Yes, Toby. I've had detectives at work for weeks ever since I first suspected the. truth. They've pieced together the whole story; all the legal documents are in my office. Toby, you said a while ago that you wouldn't mind having me for a father. Do you still mean it?" She could not speak not for a few moments. She was smiling, yet her eyes were filled with tears. "My father!" she said, almost in a whisper.. "My own, real father !" Hlllyer drew out a handkerchief and sneezed. His eyes, too, were suddenly suspiciously moist. "And my Toby," he added. "But how did you know? How did you ever find out? Oh, I want to know all about it V CHE had to hear the whole story. then, from the beginning. And the beginning was ' the day weeks before when a dozen photographs were laid on Jay Hillyer's desk photographs of models from whom the "Hlllyer Soap Girl" was to be selected. "It wasn't your photograph pot at first that decided the question," he told her. "It was your name. I was curious about a girl whose name was Toby. You see it happens hap-pens to be my name. Jay T. Hlllyer. Hlll-yer. The T. is for Tobias and it was my grandfather's name. I was 'Toby' as a boy and that, is what your mother called me. Later when I went into business I thought Jay was more dignified so I took to using it instead. It's the name I've used for 20 years now. "Your mother gave you my name, and it was that that led to my finding you. Your mother and my Mary bringing us together, dear, after all these years. You see, your aunt misled you when she said you were ber brother's child. I suppose she did it because she thought, as she had said so often, that the annulled marriage was a disgrace. She didn't want any connection with the Hlllyer name, so she called you Toby Ryan. Your mother's name too Mary Pern Mary Fern Ryan. That was before I changed it to Mary Fern Hlllyer. There's a record of your christening among the papers I've gotten together. Ill get them all motorists. We're against the idea. Hand grenades sorneUmes fail to explode. In the hot weather we sometimes some-times think the reason the navy has so little difficulty in recruiting recruit-ing men is ' because sailors can wear low-necked blouses. IY UURA LOU MCXKMAM out and show them to you in a day or so. "Do you remember the afternoon I walked into Duryea's studio when you were posing for a photograph? You had on a blue dress with a long, full skirt and ruffles. Yod can't imagine the shock it gavs me. Your mother wore a dress like that years ago. Oh, I suppose ypu would see differences, but the dregs you wore looked to me exactly like yo.ur njQther's., You. lqokl amaz ingly like her. "I asked you to have dinner with me that night. After I'd talked to you, I made up my mind that I had to know more about it-I it-I had to find out who you were and where you came from. "Next morning I got in touch with a private detective agency and put them to work. They pieced back the facts1 but it took time. You see, trying to find your mother, I had no clews to work with, but tracing your story was simpler. After a while when we were able to put the two stories together, the Jig-saw puzzle began to show a pattern." AND all this time," Toby said reproachfully, "yOu've known and never even given me a hint!" "How could I until I was sure? That's why I went away on this trip. To establish the truth of tb last link in the proof. I was able to do that" Toby shook her head. "You cact know what it means to me," she said. "To have a farher a real father of my own after these years when I haven't had anyone!" "Bon't forget, Toby, that Tm finding, out what it's like to have a daughter after all these years when I've had nobody either. My parents axe dead now. The breach' that developed between us as a re-1 suit of my broker, marriage was never healed, I'm sorry to say. I'vs been alone for a long while, TOby." She smiled and her eyes glistened glis-tened mistily. "You asked what I thought of you as a father, didhi you? I hope that, as a daughter, you're going to find me acceptable. "As a daughter," Hlllyer told her, "you are everything in the world I could hope for. As 'a daughter, Toby, you are eminently a success. In the last weeks X have come to know ypu better, t believe, than many a father who has lived in the same house with his daughter all her life. Toby said, as she had before, "My own father my own real father!" "We've missed a lot." Hlllyer told her, "but we have a great-deal ahead of us, too. We'll have to make plans together. I've made some of my own, but jerhaps you can improve on ihem.' They talked for half an hour longer. Suddenly Toby said, Fa ther look! Everyone, else has gone. We're the only Ones left! Hlllyer glanced about the room. Except for themselves, the dining room was deserted. Weary4ooklng waiters were eying them from a distance. "So we are," Hlllyer said. "Well, we'll nave to ft that r . .He dug into his pocket for, a tip, tben turned to Toby, beaming. TDsj yon . know what you said?, ho asked. MYou called me father.
