My Day

BY ELEANOR ROOSEVELT EW YORK CITY, Friday.-——Last eVening was a real joy, for four of my children dined. with me and we sat and talked on many questions. It always "amuses me to get them together and to hear the one from Texas advocate his particular mode of existence. The others, who.are settled, or contemplating dif - ferent interests, look upon anything at variance with their occupations, present or future, as quite out of ‘the running. Every now and then as an objective _ listener. I have to remind them that every human being has personal preferences and therefore is entitled to try out whatever seems agreeable to him. A very nice letter came to me yesterday and took me to task' for. having once said. “that parents could hardly expect to retain much direction over their children’s thinking after ‘they had reached the age when they began fo think for themselves.” my correspondent feels that home influences are, and should be, paramount and authoritative in the life of any child, not only until they are grown, but after they have reached years of maturity This is undoubtedly so, but to cover the entire subject would take pages and not a column. In a few - words. I think I was trying to convey that after the - early vears, when a parent encompasses the whole of a child's world, the voungsters are apt to be greatly influenced by what their contemporaries and outside contacts are saving. The atmosphere and the example they have ai home, however, are, I think, always the greatest influence in forming their characters . ‘thought. could be said is tnis intangible home influence. ‘With this letter fresh in mv thoughts, the talk - which raged around me last night was very interestinz. Probably not one of the children “present expressed exactly the ideas of their parents. and they would hotlv resent the suggestion that they were infiuenced by anything that had been said to them during their growin vears. And vet. willy nilly. I “am sure that the atmosphere in which they lived their early lives always will have some effect upon them. " The unwilling victim spent another morning at the dentist's and lost two more wisdom teeth. I have never been able to discover what.real wisdom these bits of bony structure bring us: they certainly are-a

nuisance to have removed. {Coprright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

HUNDRED days is not a long while as time is reckoned, but the hundred days recorded in WATERLOO, by Manuel Komroff (Coward-McCann; ~ $250), were of the utmost importance to the world. Napoleon, the world's greatest dictator, half noble and half ignoble,’ escapes from Elba, marches across the Alps and into Paris, raises an army and marches into . Belgiunt, where, 12 miles from Brussels, he encounters the combined allied forces at Waterloo and stages an heroic, desperate fight, meets a crushing defeat, loses a battle and an empire. Bits of human interest lighten the tragedy of this ~ novel. Two enemies, one almost 14 and the other a - year older, both wounded, meet and become friends, sail a toy boat in a stream made red with the blood of fallen heroes. Emile, one of the Old Guard, finds his Englishman—who had ruined his life—and loses him: a French baby is born; heroic women search for their dead. Over all sounds the roar of guns. This is truly a wonderful picture of the last days of NapoJeon's glory, a picture alive with romance and the

misery of war. 5 tJ =

My own contribution to the final article in this set of political surveys; that have taken me almost 12,000 miles by motor from New England to the Dakotas, then down to extreme southern California and up the coast to the Canadian border, is that I can guarantee the intelligence and the integrity of the men whose observations are quot-

ed below, : Let us start with New England and then work our way to the far West Coast.

THE EAST

MASSACHUSETTS: “Activities of Union Party and followers of Father Coughlin appear at this writing to thréaten Roosevelt's chances in Massachusetts. O’Brien, vice presidential candidate with Lemke, has also filed for United States Senate against Gov. Curley. This may help elect Republican candidate Lodge. Curley recently said this was most perplexing -campaign in years. He thinks, however, Pem-+ back within the next three months. RHODE ISLAND: “Rhode Isa land, long classed as safely Re4 publican, can be placed in doubt ful column... Factional strifd within major parties and shift of! many Republicans to Coughlin standard responsible, Radio priest’s visit to East Providence attracted as many Republicans as Democrats. Increase in Roosevelt sentiment noted. Many ask what is Landon’s program.”

F- r zo ONNECTICUT: “Connecticut decidedly in doubtful list. Believe Landon is gaining some ground but not as much as immediately after Cleveland convention. Landon may have slight edge but it is very close.” NEW YORK: “Roosevelt still has state. Getting stronger with lapor and man in street. Republicans: making extravagant claims, but have nothing to base them on. Republican organization is inept. Tammany has bitter primary fights but they are local and there are no indications that national situation is affected.” NEW JERSEY: “Praspect Jersey will return to : Republican normalcy. Lack of repeal issue is basis of belief that Roosevelt is slipping. Surprises possible from better Hague organization, espe“cially among New Deal beneficiaries, and as result! Republican bitterness over Gov. : Hoffman's fiscal policies and patronage, and Hauptmann mess and Wendel affair. Write-in required for Lemke but is probably immaterial.” PENNSYLVANIA: '‘Democrats claim publicly and Republican leaders concede privately that Pennsylvania, long Republican citadel of the nation, is a real battleground this year. State is largely industrial and the Democratic trend among the workers is pronounced. Democrats have made. tremendous gains in registration during last four years and captured state government two years ago, and are in much stronger position from an organization standpoint than four years - ago, when Roosevelt lost the state by 157,000.” = = » THE MIDDLE WEST HIO: “Strength of Union Party in Ohio. will determine outcome of presidential election

Ohio's 26 electoral votes to Lan-

MICHIGAN: “Injection Murphy

tional issues here. Michigan is decidedly in doubtful column with slight edge in Roosevelt's favor.” INDIANA: “Democratic factional fight may give: Indiana state ticket to Republicans even though Roosevelt gets electoral votes. Labor 70 per cent for Roosevelt but Republicans say farmers and veterans who deserted them ,in 1932 are back in line. Indications are toss-up for presidency or slight edge for Roosevelt.”

ILLINOIS: “Situation much the same as month ago. Since Landon’s acceptance speech, Republican strategy apparently is to put more steam on tearing down Roosevelt rather than constructive building up of Landon. Demo-~ cratic National Committeeman Nash is working to bring HornerKelly factions together, with re-

| ports that entente is certain. Re- | lief situation still in jumble and

being played by Republicans to discredit Democratic’ state and national candidates. General Chicago business best since 1930 and in some lines since 1929.” WISCONSIN: “Attempts of Republican leaders to make a bid for support of liberals and progressives on the claim that Landon is a liberal are not taking hold in Wisconsin. Landon’s performances to date have left progressives cold. There has been no marked trend among progressives toward Lemke. Progressives skeptical of Union Party setup. Present indications are Roosevelt will carry Wisconsin by a comfortable margin.”

“YF DON'T see how they can lick Roosevelt. close, but I don’t see how they can lick him.” It was Frazier Hunt talking, over his lamb chops in the Biltmore dining room, and’ the globe-trotting reporter and political analyst for NEA Service didn’t leave any doubt as to his opinions on the turn of the political tide in 1936. And those opinions ought to be worth something, for the ebullient Mr. Hunt has probably asked more people in the United States what their political opinions are than any other man in the country. He arrived in Los Angeles on the tag end of a 12,000mile motor journey across the continent. y “It’s the workers who want Roosevelt,” said Hunt. drought has played directly into Roosevelt's hands. . .» But there’s no use denying the small town nging to Landon.

The state has lost virtually all its planted corn— 9,200,000 acres, the third largest in the nation and the foundation of its livestock industry.

Finally the Democratic ‘organization which has been split badly by fac-

New Deal Leads Neighboring Nations in Recovery March Despite Its Blunders, Hugh Johnson Says

BY HUGH 5S. JOHNSON ETHANY BEACH, Del., Sept. 5. The anti-Administration idea in this campaign is that the forces holding back a massive business

| boom are:

1. Uncertainty of investors as to Roosevelt's fiscal policy. 2. Fear by management of what “regimentation” of business the President may put over on the country if he is re-elected. However illogical it may be, the fact is clear that investment money still refuses to adventure itself on any wide front. est single cause of such unemployment as continues. Nothing is more needed than a convincing declaration of true fiscal policy. There has been.no such announcement by either candidate; Mr. Landon is as blithely noncommittal as Mr. Roosevelt. : As to regimentation of business, both sides in the campaign make

Labor is Tor the NRA principles almost unanimously—including, of course, the labor provision. rn The bogie about “regimentation” thus reveals itself as a concealed anti-labor trust. While on this point the Administration favors labor, Mr. Landon has taken no contrary stand. Furthermore, unless the Supreme Court reverses itself, the Administration labor policy stands nullified. ’ It is absurd to say that it is the fear or danger of regimentation that is holding back a spectacular boom. If there were such a fear, Mr. Landon offers no comfort for the terrified ones. The situation affords no true argument for the defeat of Roosevelt. It could well be argued that the new (cockeyed) undivided profits tax is a barrier to the launching of new Shierprise.

because on that point they are as sterile as their adversaries. All this overleoks the fact that we are having a most unusual business recovery. Even if it is not a spectacular one, anything more rapid would take on the aspect of a crazy runaway market like 1929 or the Florida boom. Nobody wants that. But Mr. Landon says that the New Deal had nothing ‘to de with this broad recovery, and points to activity and re-employment abroad.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Strutting his stuff at the highbrows' old home week at Harvard University, Dr. Ronald A. Fisher of London referred to problems of uncertain. inference in the mathematics of probability. This is a field in which all of us have done a little research from time to time and Dr. Fisher might be surprised to hear of regular public clinics fn the mathematics of probability, ate

tended by thousands of students. The clinics at Saratoga, recently i closed after the annual session ot = one month, yielded general results which nobody has been able to understand. At the Saratoga clinic, both the bookmakers and the tomers who bet against the. lest money on the season. was not an unusual case. It is i almost invariable result and resents a puzzle quite as knotty as that discovered by another scientist who reported at the. highbrows’ old home week. This other scientists, Prof. Kasner ‘of Columbia, reported that in certain problems the sum of the parts exceeds the sum of the whole. This created a stir among the learned men but they have yet to hear of a problem in which the sum of the parts is a net deficit. This, however, is a phenomenon long familiar te those who attend Saratoga. Belmont and certain other clinics. They do not pretend to, understand it, They only know

Mr. Pegler

Attracts Great Following

’ [HE mathematics of probability fascinates more -

devotees, in one or another of the ia fields, than any other subject of inquiry. The motor problem is as follows: Given the entries for seven races, weigh the mathematical probabilities, : scratches, stimulants, condition, disposition, accidents, weights and ages, select the winner of each race, placing ‘a $10 wager on the first winner and shoving it all back, cumulatively, until the end of the card. This has never been done in actual practice in all the history of the study of mathematical probability. It has often been done, mentally, however, on the train or bus, going to the. track and, retroactively, by busted scientists on the way back. My data record a brave effort one day at Saratoga by Uncle Will Gibson, an earnest student, who used to anage Benny Leonard and Gene Tunney. * Uncle Will had only $100 for experimental material that day but won $700 on the first race and put the $800 back on the second where he won $4000. He used the $4000 for his third experiment, which was successful, and planned to dump the entire $19,200 into the fourth step of the inquiry.

= ” ”

Uncle Will Fails

AT this point, however, the probabilities began to eat themselves up, for the $19,200 caused a stir among the scientists in charge of the handbooks and they reduced the odds on his next horse to something like the return from a long-haul investment in suburban real estate, So Uncle Will abandoned his fourth selection in favor of another steed of inferior probability but longer price and that one stopped to graze on daisies over in the back stretch, So Uncle Will's experiment failed at a very promIsing stage of the problem and he rode home on his thumb that night. The fourth. hide of his original formula won that race and Unclé Will, had he stuck to his intentions, would have had about $25,000 with

which to experiment on the fifth horse, which also won. x But, like most of the scientists who attack such problems, Unde Will arrived at a curious result in reckoning his loss. He placed his loss at 2 not $19,200. t Ham “Only $100 of it was mine,” he said. $19,100 was theirs.”
