C. WASHINGTON. Senator Burke, the Nebraska Democrat, has come forward with a proposition fixing the I term of the President of the United '.States at six years and limiting the individual to one term. It is not a new proposition. It has been sug-- j gested before as long ago as President Jacksons term but it takes on a new significance now. Its new importance is not because of Senator Burkes declared intention to '.press the thing through to enact-meso much as in the fact that ; third term talk is all over the place these days. I do not profess to know what is in Mr. Roosevelts mind about a third term. That is one subject upon which he has kept his own counsel quite severely. He is completely capable of keeping his own counsel I I nt I i Precedent Maker j The third-ter- m precedent will be no barrier to Franklin Roosevelt if he thinks four more years will help him to achieve . history s rating as a president, thinks ('reat Bruckart. Two of Mr. Roosevelt's outstanding char acteristics are his enjoyment of the power of the chief executive and his willingness to create new precedents. j j : : Effort to Restore Party e To Democrats Old-Lin- There is, beside all of these factors, the differences within the party of which Mr. Roosevelt is the titular head. I believe that the Democratic party machinery was completely taken over by the radical wing, and so now there is a definite effort under way to restore the party control to old and tried Democrats. That is to say, the effort is to unhorse the type of men like Ickes, Wallace, Corcoran, Minton of Indiana, and others of that stripe. Men like Senator Harrison and Vice President Garner, and even Jim Farley, do not like to see those other fellows in a position of responsibility. They believe in the Democratic party for Democrats. So, it is quite apparent that the struggle for party control is a rough and tumble fight from now on, because there is a convention of the party to be held in 1940, and it is not too early to line up delegates. Were it not for the battle ahead and the 'desire of those surrounding Mr. Roosevelt to keep on with his reforms and the jobs Mr. Roosevelt would control the 1940 convention. His declarations of a "purge of the party" has made it impossible for him to control the convention without a fight. That is to say, he will be unable to pick the 1940 nominee (to carry out his plans) without a battle. President Is Playing out equivocation that he has kept it Wmting Game Now, there are many who believe jin this case. The Washington correspondent or observer usually can that Mr. Roosevelts personal popuas to the presidential larity will be the only thing suffiget a tip-omind in ordinary matters, but not cient to swing that party control. He so regarding the third term. will not be able to nominate his .when he desires, and I can say with- ff Thus, having made a reassuring own pick, but he will be able to statement that this is only a guess nominate himself, say these observas to the future, I shall try to put ers. When we have reached that stage, the puzzle sections together and make a prediction. There are many, therefore, we have reached the point .many factors to be examined. Without them, there can be no judgment as to the circumstance. With them in full view, certain conclusions appear inescapable. Note that I said "appear." I use that word for the reason that Mr. Roosevelt is one of the few men ever to occupy the jWhite House whose whole attitude may change completely overnight jon any given subject. i Mr, Roosevelt Revels In the Presidency Mr. Roosevelt has a consuming desire to go down in history as a great President. There can be no jdoubt of that. He wants history to show him as an outstanding friend ;of the people, the masses. He will let nothing prevent him from that course if it is within his power. If there is one trait in the makeup of the man that transcends others, I believe it is his desire to establish new precedents. We speak of him That is inas precedent-breakecorrect. He likes to make new ones. No other President has ever done more than make motions about a .third term. Mr. Roosevelt would .not be disturbed by the fact that .never before had any President occupied the White House for 12 years. I suspect that he would enjoy doing that sort of thing. And when I mention enjoyment, I need to refer at the same time to the very well known fact that Mr. Roosevelt enjoys being President. That is, he has. what we say is a good time on the job. There is no real weariness for him as Chief Executive. Within the range of my quarter of a century as an observer, there has been no other Presigendent who so reveled under-therally accepted tremendous burden of the presidency. r. Presidents Popularity 'Has Religious Fervor . Behind the scenes, no President has ever had a hallelujah chorus of so many voices around him. There has never been a President with such great personal popularity as Mr. Roosevelt. The combination of these things, the continual songs of praise that he hears from his close advisors and the adoring multitudes well, I firmly believe that no living man can maintain the equilibrium necessary for sound and sane thinking while such fervor toward him is shown. Seldom, if ever before, has any President had the same type of protheorists, starry - eyed moting dreamers around him. The country never has had an administration as radical as Mr. Roosevelts regime. At no time have as many crackpots, schemers, theorists with untried panaceas had a chance to get their plans put into action. Some are workable; most of them are not. The fact that some have worked, however, is the very reason the whole crew sticks around and keeps plugging for further trials of this, that or the other. For most of these folks, it is the first time in public life, their first entry into na-tional office with authority. They like it. Also, they like the payroll. It is natural that they want to stay. semi-religio- us i?, by Captain of determination of the course which Mr. Roosevelt will follow. My own conclusion is definitely that Mr. Roosevelt is preparing for any eventuality. He is unlikely to say he will or will not run. He will wait. If the situation makes it appear that he can win, he will "accept the nomination; if, however, he believes that he will get licked, he will try to pick the nominee. He will select a man who will do his bidding, if he has not lost control of the party convention. I am convinced Mr. Roosevelt would like to run, but he will not run if there is certain defeat staring him in the face. And when we talk of third terms and precedents, etc., I must recall a certain vote in the senate on Feb- ruary 10, 1928. President Coolidge had said he did not "choose to run, but there were many Democrats who thought that was a trick to invite the nomination. So the senate adopted a resolution, a precedent-making resolution, saying it was the sense of the senate that no President ought to have a third term or something to that effect How wm They Vote This Time? It gave me quite a laugh when I looked up the vote on that resolution, because I can see some very delicate situations developing for some of the senators who voted for that resolution. It was good politics then, of course, but what, I wonder, are some of those men going to do if Mr. Roosevelt moves in on them with a third term campaign? Of the present Democratic members of the senate, we find the following as having voted their expression that no President should have a third term: Ashurst at Arizona, Barkley of Kentucky, Gerry of Rhode Island, Glass of Virginia; Harrison of Mississippi, King of Utah, Thomas of Oklahoma, Wagner of New York, Wheeler of Montana, McKellar of Tennessee, Neely of West Virginia, Pittman of Nevada, Sheppard of Texas, Smith of South Carolina, and Tydings of Maryland. We find also that Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, the great Progressive leader, voted against a third term, and we also note Senator Norris, another Progressive, who said by his vote that no man should have a third term. Well, it struck me as being funny. Take such men as Barkley, the New Deal leader in the senate; and Neely and McKellar, who continually have popped off in praise of Mr. Roosevelt and who have no complaint about any phase of the New Deal. Or consider the plight of Thomas, of Oklahoma, who probably will be reelected and who, therefore, will be faced with a decision if Mr. Roosevelt decides to seek a third term. It will be easy for Pat Harrison, or Wheeler or Smith of South Carolina, to vote for a similar resolution in the next session; but it wont be so easy for the others to decide, because those who have opposed some of Mr. Roosevelts program will be able to say they are being consistent.

The ice our chances and ONE improve ciency for longevity. The first rule in providing sdequate amounts of the protective foods is to allow daily a quart of milk for every child and at least a pint for each adult. This amount need not always be consumed as a beverage, however. It may be used in cooked dishes or eaten in the form of cheese and ice cream. ot-mil- k Composition of Ice Cream Ice cream is often regarded as a confection, but it deserves to be classed among our most nutritious foods. It is composed of varying proportions of cream, milk, sugar, flavoring and frequently a binder or stabilizer such as gelatin. The composition varies somewhat between the home-mad- e and the commercial product, and the product differs in various states. That is because standards governing the butter fat content differ widely so that the requirement ranges from 8 to 14 per cent. Most large commercial companies produce an ice cream with about 12 per cent fat. Guard Against Contamination Some states require the pasteurization of the milk or cream used in manufacturing ice cream; others stipulate that the entire mix must be pasteurized before freezing. These measures are desirable, as ice cream requires the same scrupulous care that should be given to milk and cream. Because of the possibilities for several precaucontamination, tions should be observed in buying ice cream. Choose cream manufactured by a reputable concern. Be sure to buy from a dealer who keeps it well frozen, for ice cream that has been melted and frozen again may be dangerous, owing to the opportunity for the multiplication at bacteria See to It, While it was melted. also, that the dealer uses sanitary methods in dispensing. rid rtymut.

When that is done, one nutrition authority states that its beneficial effects can hardly be overestimated. Effect on Digestion One frequently hears the ques- cream powders may be used with milk or a combination of milk and cream to produce a healthful dessert suitable for every member of the family. They also may be used for less rich but equally refreshing milk or buttermilk sherbets. A canned freezing mix is likewise available and is especially nice in a fruit flavor as it contains pieces of the whole fruit A Comparison With Milk of a quart we If regard one-sixt- h of ice cream as an average serv- ing, and compare it with one cup of milk, we make the interesting discovery that there is a close relation between the two. The ice cream provides about 24 more cab ories and only a trifle less protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin A. There is considerably less vitamin G, but ice cream is nevertheless considered an excellent source of this important vitamin. it com-meci- al A Healthful Food It then becomes apparent why ice cream is considered as an excellent food, not only for adults but for children and convalescents, and why one outstanding authority urges the liberal use of ice cream as a means of increasing the vitamin A content of the diet. Plain ice cream may be used interchangeably with simple milk puddings. Rich mixtures, such as those filled with nuts and crystallized fruits, rank with the heartier desserts and should follow a lighter meal, lee cream is so rich in nourisb- - tion, "Doesnt the eating of ice cream retard the digestion of other foods consumed at the same time? The answer is that it does slow up slightly the emptying time of the stomach but this delay is without significance and is more than compensated for by the important nutrients it provides. Many people believe that it Is injurious to follow ice cream with hot coffee. But it has been demonstrated that Just the opposite is true. The coffee raises the temperature of the food in the stomach and thus modifies the cooling effect of the ice cream. Another common question concerns the effect of cake or pie a la mode. Experiments indicate that eating ice cream with cake or pie produces a more satisfactory gastric Juice than when either of these foods is eaten alone. One must take into consideration, however, that cake or pie a la mode is a rich combination and plan the remainder of the meal accordingly. it Use More Ice Cream It has been estimated that five billion pounds of milk are used each year in the production of commercial ice cream, which provides about three gallons of ice cream per capita. The amounts of ice cream made at home will raise this figure somewhat. But the amount consumed may well be further increased, because when properly made from pure ingredients. Ice cream deserves to rank with other dairy products among our most wholesome and nourishing foods. C WNU for C. Houston Oonillss applique; I83S -- Si illustrations of stitches; materials required.

At on QoudiAA &iAcuAieA Food Value of Ice Cream ; (CONTRARY to general opinion, the Men of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police do not always get their man. Sometimes their assignments order them to go out and get a baby, for more than one northern settler was brought into the world by a Royal Mounted Policeman. Doctors and nurses were as scarce in the writers early days in the northland, and both settlers and police were often called upon to deliver a baby, or amputate a badly shattered arm or leg. Furthermore, many a Man of the Mounted has been a lifelong friend of some Indian he had separated from an aching tooth, or for whom he had performed some worthwhile medical or first-ai- d services. Sometimes, too, the lads who wear the scarlet, and gold are called upon to conduct funeral rervices, and even to assist at weddings and christenings. The force, right from its inception, has been just as active and interested in crime prevention, as in criminal detection, therefore their association with Indians and settlers on other matters than police work gave them an opportunity to do quite a bit of missionary work along the lines of Crime prevention. One old timer this writer knew had the habit of spotting youngsters inclined to be a bit wayward and more or less troublesome to parents and neighbors. Biding his time, this constable would soon have the headstrong youngster off on a little jaunt during which he would tell pointed stories showing how criminals and crooks finish up. He did not preach a doctrine of fear of the law, but rather respect for the law and the personal satisfaction one gets by behaving oneself. That lone constable steered many a youngster onto the right path. Believe it or not, but there is not on this American continent a more versatile, resourceful, talented and accomplished body of men than the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Many of them could trot out more degrees and sheepskins than the same number of men in civil life, to say nothing of the years of worldwide practical experience these Men cl the Mounted had known in some field of endeavor before joining the Force. You might find die navigator or naturalist, or the electrical expert tidying up a horses hoof or dolling up saddle and accoutrements, and you must keep in mind the fact that these d chaps are wearing scarlet and gold because they hate the sight of the marts of trade and commerce. The writer has lived and associated with Men of the Mounted who tucked themselves into their bedverse from rolls with a a Grecian lullaby, and awoke quoting some timely bit from Ciceros orations. Yet, in action these scholars and worldly wise chaps are well mannered, courteous, and sympathetic when necessary, but hard, firm and severe when their gentlemanly conduct does not go over very well with some miscreant or lawbreaker who somehow had the idea that the Men of the Mounted dont like to get their nice coats soiled, or their hands dirty. Many a blowhard and insolent troublemaker has learned, to his lifelong regret, that although the Men oi the Mounted respect, and take care of their uniforms, they dont let that interfere with the enforcement of the law. On the other hand, these Men of the Mounted can be as broadminded as the wide world when they chance to meet some energetic and conscientious settler who has helped himself to some game out of season. One time in Saskatchewan, the writer and two other surveyors ran short of meat, so we helped ourselves to game out of season. We had the birds all cooked to a queens taste when our cabin door opened and in walked a Redcoat. We were caught, redhanded, and we knew it. Nevertheless, we asked the Man of the Mounted to sit in and have a bite with us. The meal finished, the Man of file Mounted rose to his feet with the assertion that he had just partaken of the finest rabbit pie he had had since he left England. He knew he had eaten forbidden game, but he also knew we were citizens and that we had to have meat once in a while. Theyre a fine body of men, able to preach a sermon or deliver a baby, and they dont always get their man unless it happens to be the very man theyre looking for, and then, they get him, and that's that Their job is to "Maintain the Right and they do just that. That motto is engraved on their buttons and badges, and also on their hearts. if brash sway from tssth. Sea how speedily Pepsodent polishes teeth to s glorious natural radiance!
