WASHINGTON. Doc. 14 Theodore Roosevelt discovered Monday. He was the first President of the United States to realize that Sunday is a dull day in the news and therefore a good day for the issuance of statements regarding "my policies.” But it seems to me that his cousin. Franklin D , has distanced him in the matter of making the best available use of the press for his own purposes. To put it bluntly, President F. D. Roosevelt has managed to include the entire week in his front-page domain. I haven't actually measured the space, but I confidently venture the assertion that our present chief executive has won more newspaper columns for his words, his deeds and his intentions than any previous President. And if anybody suggests that this is merely because of the fact that we have been living through exciting times I would reject this explanation as not at all sufficient. Franklin D. Roosevelt is by instinct and training a newspaper man. At a dinner of the Albany correspondents two years ago the truth came out in a skit in which it was proclaimed, "In his youth he edited the Harvard Crimson, and he's been a little red ever since.” Be that as it may, I think this fact explains many things. For instance, I know' now why I failed to get into congress while Mr. Roosevelt attained the White House. I tried thrice for the Harvard Crimson and was cut down each time. tt an ASIDE from his undergraduate experience. I believe that the President never has participated actively as a working newspaper man. And yet he knows all the catchwords. A group of representatives from various newspaper v guilds chatted with him informally at the White House yesterday and found that he was familiar with “lobster tricks,'' "slot men ’ and “eight-point Caslon.” He probably reads more newspapers than any other man in America today. The papers watch him closely, and he repays the compliment. Naturally he doesn’t go thumbing through the second section in search of the editorial page, where there is a very fair chance that his name will be mentioned. Upon his desk is laid, each morning, the comment of the country. Sometimes the article is clipped for him in full, and, again, he gets merely a digest. It might read. 1 suppose, “that old one, — Form 52 Z—on the freedom of the press.” But hot or cold, he gets them. And after a morning’s meeting With all the journalists from Maine to Texas, who have their own ideas of how to save the country, I imagine that Franklin D. Roosevelt should be allowed a certain pardonable puzzlement at some of the outcries that the press of the nation .is being muzzled. Not long ago one critic of the administration pictured the occupant of the White House as a secluded individual shielded from all contact save that of “yes" men. And yet there must be mornings when so many editorialists are pleading for a. return of the good old fundamentals of Benjamin Harrison that President Roosevelt must be moved to shake his head sadly and murmur. "Perhaps I had better give myself up quietly and plead guilty.”

PUT yourself in the President’s place. How would you like it if every morning with the breakfast egg you had handed to you a clipping from Kalamazoo saying that you were not Thomas Jefferson. Alexander Hamilton or Char]c Cordav. a have a distinct suspicion that a number of readers are beginning to susp'H't that I am neither Shakespeare nor Flaubert, but they keep these flabbergasting facts to themselves and never mention them. If I ever become President, I will do two things which are likely to be I'avuely criticised in the C’ cag* TVioune. First of all. I ’ ill throw all the Gilbert Stuarts out of the White House, and. next. I will announce that, in spite of the treasured freedom of the press, nobody can point out more than twice in any one month that I am not really George Washington. I will admit it as soon as I am inaugurated and then punch in the nose anybody who keeps harping upon this singularity. But, on second thought. I don't ■want to be President. It would \give me a dizzy feeling to read, ‘The trouble with Hey wood Brown .s that he listens to too many counselors; the last • person who reaches him always gains the point. - ’ and immediately afterward b? handed another clipping which said. "The fault of Brqun is that he is just another Mussolini, who wants to run the whole show without getting advice from anybody." Still, it is pleasant to know that public men may sometimes see the things obscurely set down about them. All too often I have grinned after writing a mean crack about somebody, only to be checked by the thought: "Oh. what's the use? He probably won't have it called to his attention."

X-RAY USED IN TREATMENT OF DIABETES New Cure Also Is Claimed tor High Blood Pressure. OLD THEORY DISCARDED Pituitary, Adrenal Glands Treated to Check Fatal Diseases. By United Preat CHICAGO. Dec. 14—The successful treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure through use of 'he X-ray was announced today by the Illinois State Medical Society. The treatment described as “A revolutionary and new treatment for tw'o of her most mysterious, fatal and widespread oiseases know’n to modern medicine," consists of small doses of X-ray administered to the pituitary and adrenal glands. The experiments leading to the discovery were conducted by members of the Illinois Central Hospital, under the direction of Dr. James H. Hutton, a consulting endocrinologist. The treatment is given. Dr. Hutton said, by exposing the patient to carefully measured periods of Xrays in such a manner that the X-rays thoroughly penetrate the pituitary, a small ductless gland on the under side of the brain, and the adrenals, small ductless glancis located one near each kidney. Contradicts Old Theory The new principle on which Dr. Hutton proceeded was that diabetes and high blood pressure are produced by too great activity of the adrenals and pituitary in making their secretions. "This." the announcement said, “flatly contradicts the orthodox theory and treatment now : commonly used, which is based on the opposite notion that diabetes is caused by a deficiency of gland secretions in the pancreas, thereby causing a fatal increase in the normal sugar content of the blood. "It is our idea,” Dr. Hutton said, "that both diabetes and high blood pressure, instead of deficiency diseases, are actually the result of too much activity by the pituitary and adrenals, w'ith the pituitary gland probably the worse offender of the tW'O. "It is also our idea that carbohydrate metabolism (the conversion of slarches and sugars into energy in the body) is controlled by a balanced mechanism consisting of the pancreas, the pituitary and adrenals.” Insulin Used Now' Treatment of the two diseases hitherto had been through increasing activity of the adrenals and pituitary glands by regular injections of insulin and a rigid diet. The fact that insulin relieves the symptoms of diabetes is no argument against the validity of the new treatment. Dr. Hutton said. “It is highly significant that the blood-sugar curves in diabetes and high blood pressure are identical,” the announcement said. “Worry, fear, anger, excitement, the same factors w'hich stimulate the adrenal glands, also aggrevate diabetes, increase blood sugar, and raise blood pressure.” Dr. Hutton is a past president of the Chcago Medical Society, and was the first physician in medical history to be appointed as consulting endocrinologist to a business corporation. The experiments w’ere made on more than a hundred persons over a period of one year.

RURAL SANITATION IS NEW CWA PROJECT Program Contemplated for Twenty-Eight Counties. Word was received today by Dr. Verne K. Harvey, state health commissioner. from the surgeon-general of the United States that an organization will be formed to care for rural sanitation through construction. labor to be supplied through CWA. T. G Croom, engineer from the United States public health service, has been assigned to aid Dr. Harvey in carrying out the program. Work will be done in twenty-eight rural counties in the southern section of the state. The setup, according to Dr. Harvey. will include district engineers and county supervisors. He estimated that 1.000 men and women will be given employment in the organization, the women to do clerical and contact work. Visits will be made to farmers and housewives where sanitary construction is needed and they will be urged to provide materials. Labor will be provided free.

PRIVATE LIFE OF THE WYNEKOOPS

Catherine Decides to Bea Doctor; Tells of First Romance

BY DR. CATHERINE WYNEKOOP (Copyright 1933, NEA Service, Inc.i LIFE may begin at 40 for some people, but for me it began at 13, the year I entered boarding school. Ever since Walker and Earle, a couple of years before, had gone to St. Alban's at Sycamore, 111. I had begged to go away to school. So mother and dad. staunch believers in the teach-your-children-to-meet-life-for-themselves theory, promised that as soon as I finished eighth grade at Oak Park. I might go to St. Katharine's, an Episcopal school at Davenport. la.. of which they highly approved.

The night before I left I couldn’t sleep, so excited was I, staring through the shadows at the shiny new trunk, with my initials in red, at the foot of my bed. o n a BUT when morning came and I stood beside my family on the train platform, my enthusiasm suddenly departed. I never had been aw r ay from home, and I wanted to weep. “Don’t cry,’’ whispered mother, noticing my trembling chin. "Remember! Scotchmen don't show- their feelings.” I w'as inordinately proud of my Scotch blood. All of us had been brought up to control our emotions. So. I started aw'ay smiling. I never shall forget ’my first Thanksgiving at St. Katherine’s. None of the girls was allowed to go home, and I just w r as beginning to feel sorry for myself, when an enormous package arrived, special delivery, for me. It was from mother. INSIDE was a stuffed roast duck, my favorite delicacy, with all the fixings. It included even frilly paper napkins w'ith turkeys chasing pumpkins across them for the girls w'ho attended the “spread” in my room that evening. Christmas that year w'as very thrilling. From the moment that mother and Mary met me at the La Salle street station until I started back, life was an unbroken round of Christmas trees and family dinners and young people's parties. Usually our house w T as a bee hive of industry. Between her family, her practice and the clubs and civc groups with which she w'as affiliated, mother alw'ays w'as busy. a a tt THAT first holiday home was made more memorable by Mary's changed attitude. Until I went away to school, w T e had been more like tw’ins than adopted sisters. We dressed alike, did the same things, almost thought alike. But the restrained, almost bored manner in which I had greeted her upon my return definitely had put her in the place of younger sister. "You seem so blase!” she complimented me. a e u TWO EVENTS stand out on the crowded calendar of that, year —Walker’s marriage, a romantic affair which climaxed his freshman year at the University of Chicago, and my decision to become a doctor. St. Katherine's cloistered atmosphere had started me to thinking of my future. And mother's frequently spoken words came back to me: No matter if you plan to marry when you grow' up,” she often told Mary and me, “have a pro-

Bowling Grip and Stance Explained by Instructor

Mrs. McCutcheon to Present Lessons to Classes of City Women. Mrs. Floretta D. McCutcheon, woman's champion bowler of the world, who will conduct The Times school, starting Saturday, today presents her third lessor.: The first step in learning to handle the bowling ball the proper way i s to pick it up from‘the rack correctly. Always pick up the ball with two hands, placing your hands on the outside sides of" the ball parallel to the rack. Never put your hands between the ball or on any side of it where another returning ball will contact your ball. If you learn and follow this rule, you will never experience the annoying pain of a mashed finger. In putting your fingers into the ball use the two middle fingers, leaving the index finger outside for balance and the thumb in the thumbhole. of course. For a two-hole ball use the middle finger and the thumb. Place your fingers in the ball first, and then the thumb. This will give you a much better grip than if you put the thumb in first. Ball Must Fit Hand Use a ball with a grip that fits your hand. Any old ball will not do. Every modern bowling establishment has balls that will fit you. Such a ball will feel lighter and you will roll it *with much less effort and a great deal better control than one that does not properly fit. you. Have a ball with wide enough span between the thumb and fingerholes so that if your thumb is in the thumbhole and you spread your hand over the top of the ball, the knuckles of your fingers will come over the center of the fingerholes. The size of the holes shoull be such that the fingers do not fit too tightly in them, nor should they be so large that your fingers have too much room. The fit should be snug and comfortable. The tendency of most bowlers is to use a too narrow grip. If the span is too narrow you will have to pinch your ball to hold on to it, with the result that will unduly strain your hand and probably will roll a "backup" ball, which is ineffective. If the grip or span is too wide, you will naturally "choke" the ball and find it difficult to release: you will "loft"’ it out on to the alley instead of rolling it and thus lose direction. Proper Delivery Stance Before starting delivery of ball, stand erect relaxed. Take the weight of the ball in your left hand, holding it low enough to see where you *

This not only relieves your right hand and arm of unnecessary strain, but it gives the left side of the body the exercise needed to make the bowling game a well-bal-anced physical game. You should also carry the ball from the rack to your position on the runways in your left arm. Never carry it by using the finger holes. Now you are in a position to start your delivery.

Cops of ‘Liquor-Label’ Names Nab Bootlegger

Among them were Otto Bock and Fred Hague, who, while he does not spell his name like those two doughty Scotsmen. Haig & Haig, however, is considered a nemesis to those who would violate the new federal and state statutes concerning liquor. Early today Hague and Bock encountered some bootleggers in an alley in the rear of 311 North East street.

Hero and Heroine in Recent Kidnaping Principals of Surprise Rites. By United Press KANSAS CITY. Mo., Dec. 14. Romance flowered again today in the life of 72-year-old James A. Reed, thunder-maker of the senate for eighteen years. His companion in the venture was Mrs. Nell Quinlan Donnelly, whose unransomed release in one of the first of the current series of sensational kidnapings was credited to "Fighting Jim.” They were married last night. The union was unheralded. Twenty guests attended a dinner party at Mrs. Donnelly’s apartment. After the meal they were told that they were to be witnesses of a wedding. Federal Judge John C. Pollock of Kansas City, Kan., performed the ceremony. Thus culminated ten years ol professional association of the United States senator from 1911 to 1929 and "Nelly Don,’’ 43-year-old garment manufacturer. For a decade he served as her counsel. Their honeymoon destination was not disclosed. They left on a train immediately after the ceremony. Reed announced they were going “some place where we won’t be bothered with these damned newspaper photographers.” Reed said he and his bride would return “sometime before Jan. I.’’ The wedding was the second for both the bride and groom. Reed's first wife died last year. Mrs. Donnelly was granted a divorce from

Three men were busy unloading five gallon cans from a car bearing a Kentucky license. “I thought we'd have 'em," said one of the cops, “what with liquor prices the way they are." Stealthily the cops prepared to spring on their prey, but the wary bootleggers beat them to the barrier and justified their vocations by legging at record speed through the alley. The cops caught one man, however, who said he was Andrew Wilson, 27, of Louisville. Fifty gallons of “mountain dew” were seized and Wilson was held, charged with possessing illegal liquor.

The couple had been married twenty-six years. Theirs was considered the “ideal romance.’’ The Donnelly Manufacturing Company, one of Kansas City’s major industries employing more than 1,000 persons, originated from the youthful “Nelly Don's" dissatisfaction with formless, untidy house dresses. She designed a frock of her own. Friends admired it. In the garret of their then humble home Mrs. Donnelly installed a couple of power machines, which was the beginning of a gigantic business.
