There is some likelihood that Mrs. Longworth, who is a daughter of the late Theodore Roosevelt and wlu> knows politics from every angle, may be a candidate. However she lias never really resided in the district and she will be opposed by a number of the old wheel horses and then, too, the trend just now is very strongly democratic and the contest, will probably be a hotly An Eminent Physician Prescribed this Tonic AS a young man Dr. R.

I and for many years u leader in affairs of the government is a distinct loss, not only to the republican party of which he was a staunch member but likewise to the nation. He was fair minded, of unquestioned integrity, a good thinker and a man who accomplished things. As speaker he was probably unexcelled, serving during the past several turbulent sess-1 ions with the highest respect of men of every political party and belief. There is genuine sorrow over his death for we have too few genuine leaders and can ill afford I to lose those who stand fearlessly J and openly for what they believe. Among heroes Bryan Untiedt will not soon be forgotten. He is the 13-year-old schoolboy who showed ihis mettle in the recent Colorado I blizzard, when several children !froze to death in a school bus and the rest suffered terribly. Bryan took charge of the situation when , j the driver left the bus, stuck in a snowdrift, to seek help. He knew the danger, but didn't show it to the other children. To keep them warm and quiet their fright, he en- ! gaged them in boxing matches. He j played games with them and told 1 them stories. When his brother Orlo died, he went right on. doing everything he could for the rest. < i When his father came with the I ! rescue party, after 36 hours of j I torture. Bryan was still on the job. stoically enduring the cold, though ( he had given the other children I nearly all his own clothing. “I'm i all right, dad!" lie said. "Take the - other kids first.” Arms and legs were badly frozen, but he is getting well. Medals afid public honors ** are weak tributes to a kid like that. For more than 40 years. Mrs. Mary Gallagher, now 84 years old. has lived in the log cabin in the I ennsylvatiia hills where she settled as a bride. Recently she has come out to view the modern world j for the first time. Visiting a niece I in a big city, she has been amazed -1 at automobiles, telephones, vacuum cleaners, electric lights, the radio, and a lot of other tilings which the rest of us take pretty much for | granted. One day, while she sat * chatting about some of the early incidents of her life, a horse-drawn < wagon went past the house. Mrs. Gallagher jumped to her feet and ? went from window to window in a order to watch the horse as long “ as possible. Then she said, with ! feeling. “I always did like horses." Me moderns like to amuse our- * selves sometimes about how we ( could amaze and thrill our ances- • tors of some generations back by I showing them all our up-to-date mechanical devices for labor-saving, comfort, convenience and entertainment. It's just possible that, unless we could at the same time show them modern improvements in happiness and peace of mind and strength of character, they might not be so impressed as we imagine. — o—t TWENTY years “1 AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File April 10 — H.

GOOD DANCERS WIN POPULARITY I Pittsburgh, April 10. — (U.R) —• Smoking is not essential to popuparity, nor is tine clothing, but good ; dancing is. according to Miss Ade-} jlalde Hunter, campus queen of Uni- - veratty of Pittsburgh. Miss Hunter, elected by the men , I students as the most popular girl| lon the campus, revealed she had} ; "never smoked a cigaret." "Smoking isn't necessary to popu-i larity," she said. “Clothes are not* essential. The first requirement is I being a perfect dancer. College men like a girl who tea’ l dance divinely.” Other requirements she listed as “a moderate interest in sports, such | as swimming and skating, and friendships' instead of 'heart affairs' while in college." Ralph Harkins, red haired senior, was acclaimed the most popular male student by the Pitt co-eds. He is working his way through college in a variety of ways, in- 1 eluding work as a laborer in a steel mill. He hopes to be a lawyer. o- - Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE | * (U.R) ♦ Q.

MILK ISN'T JUST MILK Ernest Scott, a physician, and Lowell A. Erf. of Ohio State University, have written an article on tests of the food value of milk that is sure Ito attract wide attention among dairymen. In ! their experiments they have the cooperation of ' Professor Oscart Erf. of the university. Briefly the experiments show that raw milk is very superior to pasteurized milk as a food. While rats were fed on both raw and pasteurized i milks and the experiments were carried through : three generations. The conclusion was that the I rats fed on raw milk not only had a better gain I in weight but that they showed a better blood - count and were, consequently, free from anemia. From the experiments it was found also that ■ tiie feeds of cows will affect the milk. The fol-
