While he perhaps has no more Information than many oth,rs who believe the war will last from one to five years, the public will be impressed by the opinion of the man who in 11436 predicted that Ho sevelt would carry every state In the i'nion excepting Maine and Vermont. And that’s the way It turned out. —o We have made every effort to keep from increasing the price of the Daily Democrat by mail but find it impossible.

These are eriotte rumblings of future troubles for this nation t’sually these affairs result from the acts of hoodlums but they grow rapidly and cause a division that Is not good any time and particularly now when we are trying to show the world that a democ racy can c-per-,-te during a world crisis. Mayor . LaGuardia act«-d promptly and the race war in Harlem seems to be under control. —o An Anderson war worker who admitted driving S 5 miles an hour lost his fuel rations for four months. A .Mooresville man working In an Indianapolis war plant was compelled to surrender A and <’ cards for a second speeding offense. Another offender "doing" 73 miles was forbidden to drive any <ar except his employer's truck. OPA should continue to deal sternly with speeders, who not only scorn wartime regulations hut drive too fast even for normal peacetime safety. The authorities should conduct a snstained crusade until flagrant violators are off the highways.—lndianapolis Star. —o— Th ODT is not attempting to stop all vacation travel, hut It is trying to reduce such travel to the very minimum. People are being asked to schedule their vacations in the spring, fall or winter, avoiding August travel; to begin and end vacations in the middle of the week; to spend vacations as near home as possible; to avoid overnight trips; to carry as little baggage as possible; to take single vacations rather than a series of short ones; to be prepared for las'.minute changes, delays. crowded conditions and lack of the qsutl travel c mforta. Persons taking vacation* are urged by the Office of llefense Transportation to make only a single round-trip to and from the place where the annual vacation is spent. o—o Railroad passenger cars have gone to war. Over one-half of all Pullman sleepers and nearly onefourth of all day coaches are engaged full-time in organised troop movements, which are taking place at th* rate of over two million men a month and are steadily increasing. Also, expansion of the armed forces means a corresponding expansion in the volume of furlough travel, now approximately equal to that of organised troop movements On top of this, our tremendously >xpand<-d war canning a rise In the volume of waressential business travel. As an example of the severity of such War aorvtce. It takes 356 passenger cars, aa Well a* »2 baggage cars and over tent freight cars, made up in 65 trains, to move an tn ton try dtvis•ou of ISOOf men and ’.hair equipment Movement ot aa armored

In those words in his recent radio address, President Roosevelt announced another of those great humanitarian programs which have so marked his administration. The plans he epoke of are now In form for presentation to congress. Contrary to the charge by Republican national chairman Harrison Spangler that the program was hastily drafted "as fourth term campaign material" and was mentioned only for political purposes, the program actually has been under study for nearly a year. And a check of the committee membership quickly refutes any objections that might be made on political lines. If assuring security for our re- > '■

Throw it away, burn it up, buy diamonds and emeralds and forty-six mink-coats and 1 eight imported cars. Abo there are taxes, my angel. But I can always support you, you know.” He added, a little too carelessly, “What are your mother’s plans ? Or hasn't she decided?” f “I asked her to live with US,” said Judith. “Matthew, I know you didn’t like the idea. But I had to ... I couldn’t bear to think of her alone. No matter what happened.” “How do you mean, wAut happeaadl" * ’ |Ftk,-4 k •« "Between us.” I w "Why in the world would you think—” he began, half impatiently. • “I wasn’t worried,” cut in Judith, “I knew it would have to work out. Then your mother suggested that Mother live with her and—" 1 • “But that's a wonderful idea,” cried Matthew, “they’re old friends, • they’d-be congenial—" « ■ Judith interrupted. “It’s a crazy Idea! Naturally they're old friends and fond of eaeh other. But they have absolutely nothing in common except us. And besides, your mother’s life has been disrupted too often.” • • t “Disrupted?" he repeated, hb dark brows drawn. • » “Yes. For your sake,” said Judith, “living just for you. After you married Irene she had time to rearrange things tor herself, but not for long.” - - He interrupted her again. “That’s a curious way to speak of our relationship—l mean as something disrupting.” . « “Well,” Judith demanded, “hasn’t It been? 80, even if Mother thought she might like to live with your mother, I wouldn’t kt her. It isn’t fair to Mary, no matter what you think.” -«•• • “Then, what babe to do?” he demanded. w . > “She’s going ba-.k to California,” answered Judith. “She wouldn’t hear of living with vs. We’ve a sort of second cousin out there whom she likes very much, a widow, about Mother’s age. They like the same things. She's written, asking Cousin Marion to live with her. They’ll travel a little. And there's a school for underprivileged children in which Aunt Elb waa interested. Mother wants to take that over." • Matthew found himself aighing with relief. Lighting his pipe he gtanced at Judith's sober face and asked. “You’re not happy about it?” , “he, I'm not. But that's the way Mother seems to want it. I’D miss her dreadfuUy.”« . . , £ He said. -You have me, Judy." F Her toco became luminous.

After Eva Lambert left for the Coast, after the first excitement of settling down in a new apartment, was over, the life of the young Dr. Norman and his bride ran on an almost even keel. There were some upsets, of course. For instance, Judith insisted that Nellie return to Mary. “We don’t need her,” she told Matthew, “and Mary’s more comfortable with her and Kate. She expects to entertain more, she told me so. And this new couple I’ve found will be ideal, I hope.” Matthew was annoyed. He was used to Nellie. She knew just how he liked things, he said stubbornly, but Judith retorted that the strange servants could bo instructed in his likes and dI id Ikes—which were extremely definite. Besides, the butler eould double in brass as a valet. “I," said Judith with dignity, "have no intenticn of looking after your clothes. If 1 didn't know better, I would think you slept in them, Matthew." The couple were Scandinavian, and efficient Olga eooked to perfection, Nils served with capability. Matthew, grumbling, soon became accustomed to them. Judith had her own ear and chauffeur who was also available for Matthew when neceMßry. ♦ They did no formal entertaining for Judith was in mourning. Matthew was restive about that. Mourning waa absurd, ho remarked, a relie of barbarism. But Judith said quietly that she owed as much to Aunt Ella. Moreover, it would offend and hurt Eva if she learned that her daughter. Ella’s waa gauoping all over the place, night-clubbing and going to parties. ~ . “Besides," she added with the faint smile which had not so fsr failed to piseste him. “1 like being alone with you.” Judith learned sooa enough that Matthew did not like being alone aa much as she did. It was enough for him to know that he eould come home to her or that after gueata had , left the apartment and the door was shut they would be together , again. On the evenings when no ’ one was there or they were not go- . tag out to Mary’s or to dose friends, . he soon became restless, twirled the dials of the radio, causing abortive t blasts of sound. Now he loathed beI ing read aloud to and Judith, who liked to read aloud, and had done so for years to EOa. relinquished ; ber little dream of sitting by a flre- , side readitur to him from some book , which she had enjoyed so much «h» . wanted to share it with him.
