More farm tenants than ever are planning to move this spring.

The U. S. Communication Commissions is considering issuing licenses to twenty-five new radio broadcasting stations of 500,000 watts each.

At a meeting of the parish council of an English church, the vicar and the butcher came to loggerheads.

The vicar smiled. “Is thy servant a dog that thou shouldst do this thing?” he inquired, blandly.

Significant among the contributions made to radio production during the past year have been the “musical scenes” scored, for the
the Radio Theatre productions by Robert Armbruster. So well does this musical director catch the mood of the Radio Theatre scenes with his music, that he has set a P a ttern which is being closely studied by broadcasters. In addition to his Monday even-
ing • CBS Radio Theatre assignments, Bob will also lead the orchestra on the »ew Alec Wooilcott
series.
*** Rudy Vallee and Paul Whiteman, who make Thursday evenings iutejesting to loudspeaker devotees, usually attend each other’s programs. Each of these ace maesiros has^a profound respect for the other’s ( showmanship. They are close personal friends, too. **4* Hal Totten, one of the few spodts commentators who has the authority backed by real inside knowledge of the gridiron, will be high-spotted by dialers this fall on tho^e new Friday evening stanzas knotvn as the “Campus Revue.” All Pacific Coast drama aspirants’ realize that the quickest road to national fame is via a role in "One Man’s Family.” When Carlton Morse wrote m another role, that of “C 1 if t o r d ' s S weetheart," there were over 2,000 applicants for the job.

Notations and Comments on the Progress of the New Deal and Recovery in Indiana.
-Bu DUDLEY A. SMITHAll the fears of Wall Street that governmental policies at Washington would retard business; all the “uncertainty” letters sent out by corporation executives to minority shareholders; all the telegrams faked' by the public utility lobbyists;! all the paid-for gloom pfronostications made by business and political writers—all these have come to naught. And why? Because America is going forward with President Roosevelt’s recovery program.
General Jphnson may continue his billious attacks on subordinates in the New Deal official family W'ho have lasted longer than he did;, William Randolph Hearst
may continue to fear the conse- seemed to be posted,
quence of Roosevelt tax policies on his $200,000,000 fortune; Herbert Hoover may continue to rant about bureaucracy of which he is the father and special privileges of which he is the big brother; let the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Liberty league broadcast their propaganda against the New Deal—none of this will ^matter, for America today is at ^.work doing things—following the Readership of a “Do-Something
President.”
When the American Bakers association recently attempted to set /■the state for one cent increase in the price of a loaf of* bread by pointing to a seven per cent increase in the cost of flour, 193 per cent increase in the price of eggs since Roosevelt went into office, a sharp rejoinder was drawm from the U. S. Denarment of Agriculture. The bakere were asked whether or not it was true that they already had increased the price of bread two cents the pound loaf since 1933, and if it were not. true that the price of eggs had absolutely nothing to do ,with the price of bread. But the telling blow was a quotation from the Northwestern Miller printed in 1930 which argued when wheat prices w^ere low. this: “flour costs are an < insignificant part of the cost of bread.” t
The Scout’s Trip Preparations were being made #t>r the annual hiking and camping Irip of the Boy Scout troop. Food was the chief topic of discussion. Some boys were worried about the amount they would have to carry, but the others had dif-
ferent ideas.
“We don’t need to carry much,” they said. “There are farms near camp and along the road we’re taking.” ^That’s right, fresh vegetables and milk. Nothing better than that. The fanners have butter too, and we can get bread at the village
store.”
“What about the milk,” asked one boy. “Will it he safe?’* “Sure it will,” replied one who
Sprue of the
farmers pasteurize *heir milk at the farm and th^ ether farms are approved by the state inspectors.” “Wait until you see those dairy barns,” added another, “they’re as clean as a kitchen. And you won’t find any diseased cows either. The state is very strict. You’ll drink milk all right, a quart every day. That’s what I’m going to do.” “Peas and string beans will be ready, and young carrots, lettuce, and tomatoes. Boy! I can taste them now. Berries for dessert. Some eggs from the farmers and some bacon and meat from the store. We’re all set. Let’s go!” In his next article Dr. Ireland will discuss the jrroblems of tourrnej, especially when children are

Business Week says this: “The /index for general activities now stands at the peak for 1935, and at a level for October encouragingly above any attained in the past three years. By next month,; the barometer readings should even soar above those, for the cOunparable period of 1931.” » ^ AND THAT’S HOW IT WAS By Wihala Hutson I did a favor yesterday, A kindly little deed And then 1 called in all the world To stop and look and heed. They stopped and looked and flattered me In words I could not trust, And when the world had gone away My good deed turned to dust. A very tmy courtesy 1 found to do today; ’Twas quickly done, with none to see, And then I ran away But some one must have witnessed it. For 1 —truly I declare— As I sped back the stony path Roses were blooming there! o— 1st lady’s Income Donated to Charity
$72,000 for Broadcasting Turned .Over to Quakers for Educational and Relief Work What does Mrs. Roosevelt do with the money she gets for her radio talks? That question is often asked, and an official reply was forthcoming this week. The First Lady earned $72,000 for 16 radio talks, almost as much as her husband’s salary for a year, but she never handled a dollar of this income. All the money was turned over to a committee of Quakers-- to carry on educational and relief work in the poorer sections of the country, especially West Virginia. o FAST WORKER Condemning her son, who palmed off - sickness in preference to work, old lady Blotz says: “He kin git the sickest the quickest an ; git will the slickist of any feller I ever seed.”
TANGY DISHES FOR FALL As every housewife knows, the brisk chill winds of fall are natural| appetite stimulants. The pungent odor of wood-smoke, the winelike scent of apples fresh from orchards, the rime that mists the meadows at early morn—these are tokens that Jack Frost will soon be calling. The keen hunger roused by these signs of autumn is not appeased with common dishes. It needs something in accord with the season; something as tantalizing and stimwlating as the fall itself. You and your family will appreciate these recipes at any time —but especially right now. Alpine Steak 2 pounds round steak, ground 1 can tomato soup 2 cups cracker crumbs 1 teaspoon salt 1-1 teaspoon pepper. 1-2 teaspoon poultry dressings 1 tablespoon minced onion 1 cup sweet pickles, thinly sliced Combine meat, soup, cracker crumbs, and seasonings. Mix thoroughly. Fold in pickles. Press into a greased loaf tin and bake in a moderate oven- (325 degrees F.) for one hour or until done. This loaf is excellent hot or cold and will keep several days in a refrigerator. Mokes an excellent filling for sandwiches. Chicken Salad 4 cups cooked chicken, diced 1-2 cup small sweet pickles, chapped 2 cups celery, sliced fine 2 hard-cooked eggs 2 pickled beets Salt and pepper tylayonnaise Mix chicken, pickles and celery. Add mayonnaise to moisten. Add salt and pepper if needed. Arrange on lettuce. Garnish with sliced eggs and sliced beets and more mayonnaise. CANDY WITHOUT HEAT When the children run into the kitchen, begging to be allowed to make candy, mothers with sad experience of juvenile candy-making and a remembrance of burnt pots and pans, are prone to say a hardhearted “No!” the next time, you can say “yes” —if you let them make their candy with this recipe. For there’s nothing to cook—and the resulting candy is wholesome and delicionus. Coconut Apricot Candy 3-4 cup dried apricots 3-4 cup shredded coconut 1-2 cup nut meats 1-2 teaspoon grated orange rind 1-2 teaspoon grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon lemon juice Wash apricots and steam 5 minutes. Put apricots* coconut, and nut meats through food chopper. Add orange and lemon rind and lemon juice and knead mixture until blended. If candy is dry, add enough orange juice to moisten. If too moist, work in small amount of confectioners’ sugar. Shape into balls about 3-4 inch in diameter. Roll in granulated sugar. Makes IS to 20 balls.

The Kindergarten class will come to attention, please. See the picture of your Uncle Sam. He is on a desert island. He has nothing to eat but his undershirt and a tin can. And of all things, he is calling to the Republican party for help. The picture is reproduced from the front page of the Chicago Tribune, October 9, 1935. Around the picture are clippings of news stories which ran on other pages of the Chicago Tribune of the same date. According to these items, your Uncle Sam is a prosperous old gentleman, indeed.
* . _ The publisher of the Chicago Tribune is Colonel Robert R. (Bertie) McCormick. McCormick hates President Roosevelt. He wants very much to beat him in 1936.. Which, dear children, are we to believe—McCormick’s picture of starving Uncle Sam on the desert island or McCormick’s items about profits, dividends and higher hog prices ? What’s that, Oswald? You say you think Bertie is inconsistent? Tut, tut, my child. Robert R. McCormick is a great man and a great Republican. The Kindergarten class is dismissed. [Courtesy of Philadelphia Recot d)
FOOTBALL AND FALL TRAFFIC DANCER PERIOD
Fraught with Peril to the Motorist and the Pedestrian
Do you know what is the most dangerous period of the year? The statistical truth is that we are now in that part of the year which is most fraught with peril to the motorist and the pedestrian. October is usually the worst of the twelve months, the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters reminds us, and November comes next. The last three months of the year are ‘the most dangerous quarter season. The reasons for this intensification of danger are to be found in the combination of a false sense of security and the increased hazards of natural conditions. The days grow shorter. Nightfall, notorious for its accident possibilities, gradually produces yearly peaks between 5 and 9 p. m. The weather is often crisp, bracing ideal for driving, and the roads are crowded—always an important element in accident frequency. A number of subtle, unobtrusive causes contribute: The skidding menace of wet leaves, roads slippery with frost in the early morning, car windows shut in chilly weather with a consequent failure to uSe hand signals, longer working hours causing greater fatigue when driving after dark, week-end concentration of traffic in particular areas augmented by the great crowds driving ' to football games. This last calls for special attention. Every Saturday there converge in stadiums throughout the country multitudes of spectators, sometimes 100,000 in one place. Most of them drive, approaching their destination, on the same roads at the same time. Such conditions breed accidents, and if the accident peril is imminent before the game it is doubly so afterward. Thtjn the thousands of automobiles choke every radiating highway, all in a hurry to get aw r ay and get home. The reaction setting in after the excitement of the game reduces driving alertness. Add to all this
the likelihood that many drivers are under the influence of alcohol and the situation is distinctly menacing. These are occasions for great care in driving. Usually the roads leading from tbie stadium are lined with police, stationed to get you there and away as quickly and safely as possible. Cooperate with them, lest what starts the fun end in tragedy.
