June 27.—President Roosevelt, dominates

Thig is true whether or

to the Republicans, “Rooseveltism and the New Deal will be the issue in 1840 Franklin D. Roosevelt, actively in the picture or out of it, will be the symbol of one side and the target of the other. Even if his party should go conservative or “mid-dle-of-the-road” (which does not now seem likely), the issue raised by Republicans in the 1940 eam paign will revolve about Franklin D. Rocsevelt and the methods, if not the objectives, of his New Deal, The question most discussed now in Washington and elsewhere, when politics becomes the topic, is: “Will third term?” You get answers and arguments both ways. $f # & HE President himself igs the only person who could answer that question, and it is doubtful if he can answer it right now. It is certain he is not going to answer it soon. Few Presidents ever have done so, and when they do. ag for instance Calvin Coolidge with his “I do not choose to run.” most people do not believe it. Even up to the last moment at the 1928 Republican convention in Kansas City there was talk of “drafting” Myr. Coolidge, much to the anxiety and discomfiture of Herbert Hoover and his lieutenants. Nobody really expects Mr. Roosevelt to declare himself at this early stage. He desires to keep his hands on the party reins, and the easiest way to lose control would be to remove himself from the picture. Only once has Mr. Roosevelt referred publicly to his 1940 plans, Thal was at the 1937 Jackson Day

By Science Service HICAGO, June 27 If you are 4 over 40 and gastronomically unhappy, don't take the advice of a radio announcer or a drug clerk.

Two Mayo Clinic physicians issue this warning after analyzing 4223 cases of chwonie indigestion among persons of various ages After 40 dyspepsia must be considered of grave significance until it is proved otherwise, according to Drs.

not he chooges to geek an-

dinner when, in relating an imaginary conversation with a friend, he spoke of turning over his office to his successor in Janvary, 1041, That statement, like the one hy Mr, Coolidge, was not taken as conclusive,

Many persons in the Administration believe that President Roosevelt does not want to run again, Of these, however, some think eireumstances might arise which would induce him to run again. Others think he would refuse to run under any conditions, Many of his enemies insist that he is determined to make the race,

» » »

F' the possible circumstances cited which might induce, or as some put it, “force” Mr. Roose velt to seek a third term, one is a war in Burope. This would open the way for the old slogan, “Don’t change horses in the middle of the stream,” which was heard in the 1916 campaign that resulted in re-election of Woodrow Wilson, Another consideration which might induce the President to seek another term, in the opinion of some obgervers, would be failure to complete his reform program. The theory is advanced that he would seek renomination if he encountered a blockade in the next Congress as a result of the election of a sizable block of new Republicans who, with the aid of conservative Democrats, might obstruct his legislative aims, Of course just what might constitute “completion” of a reform program would be hard to define, Practical political considerations likewise are suggested as reasons for Mr. Roosevelt to attempt to break the no-<third-term tradition. A great number of candidates, with none standing out high above the others, might induce a dangerous fight at the convention with the prospects of a weak compromise candidate. This, it is contended, might bring a call for Mr. Roosevelt to rescue the party.

NOTHER practical factor is the desire of politicians to have a “winner” at the head of the ticket—that is, a leader who can help keep them in office,

Mr. Roosevelt has proved to have very handy coattails thus far. If his popularity continues, and no stand-out appears with power to keep the divergent elements of the party together and moving along victoriously, then he may find himself beseeched to run again. A recent Gallup poll indicated “an almost insurmountable public opinion” against a third term for Mr. Roosevelt, He is not on record on the two-term precedent, but certainly he is not a person who is frightened by precedent This and the other considerations mentioned are being pondered by a growing batch of 1940 Democratic hopefuls who would like to get organized to try for the prize. Some are going ahead anvhow. Some have hopes of getting a word from the White House to _ bless their candidacies.

By Anton Scherrer

Here Are a Few Episodes Designed To Convince All of You That There Is Such a Thing as Horse Sense.

VER since I wrote the piece about the smart parrots Indianapolis used to have, I've had a sort of contrite feeling that I ought to say something about the smart horses around here when I was a kid. It

wouldn't be more than fair. There was Lady Lord, for instance, She was {he ladies’ horse in Wood & Foudray's livery stable. That was back in the days when the only way to

get to Crown Hill was to use a horse and buggy. Either that or walk, Everybody, of course, didn't have a horse and buggy and that's why all the livery stables around here had what they called “Crown Hill horses.” Whatever you do, don't confuse them with the horses used for funerals, The “Crown Hill horses” were sleepy old jogtrots who could be trusted not to run away with a woman driver behind them. No self-respecting man would hire one for his own use except as a last resort. Lady Lord, T guess, “Crown Hill horses.”

Mr. Scherrer

was the smartest of all the She was so smart she could tell a woman's age. It's a fact. When a woman customer came to Wood's stable, Lady Lord would walk around her several times, sort of size her up, and figure out the kind of trot the woman ought to have to get her to Crown Hill safely, Lady Lord had three trots at her command. If the woman was over 60, Lady Lord gave her the slowest she had--something around the tempo of the Largo con gran expressione of Beethoven's Opus 7. Those under 40 got something like the Allegretto of Schubert's Opus 78, and all those in between went to Crown Hill (and back, too) to the tempo of Mendelssohn's Opus 16, No. 1.

The Horse Couldn't Help Hearing

Which Mr. Renner, the black« One morning when Mr. Renner came to open his shop, he found a horse standing all alone in front of his door. He recognized it immediately as one belonging fo a dray-driver living on Union St. The horse seemerl in distress and kept pawing its foot on the ground. When Mr. Renner examined the horse, he found a shoe missing. A splinter in the foot, too. He fixed up everything and returned the horse to its owner, When the drayman heard the story, he wouldn't believe it, Said it was preposterous, except that he used shorter words to say it. It led to ugly words, loud enough for the horse to hear. It ended with Mr. Renner returning to his shop, madder than hops. Of course, he didn't get his money. Next morning, the drayman hitched horse to his wagon and started day's work. Instead of going down Union St, as was his habit, he went down Meridian St Just plain cussedness, to get Mr. Renner's goat. When the horse saw Mr. Renner standing .in front of his it gave him a wink and started running. At the horse got out of hand. At South it ran into a baker's wagon, smashed it all to You couldn't recognize the dray, either. When Mr. Renner heard about it, he said he didn't care whether he got his money or not. There's a story, too, that once upon a time a horse walked into Dr. Pritchard's office, All by himself, mind you. The horse had a terrible case of colic and it took the old veterinarian hours to get it fixed up. Maybe, the story is true—I don't know. I wouldn't palm off anything in this column that wasn't the gospel truth.

Jane Jordan

Girl Told Not to Be Too Dependent

On Boy's Presence for Happiness.

EAR JANE JORDAN-I have a boy friend who 1s a nice fellow. We have been going together for about seven months. Until recently we have been getting along fine. But now he goes out of town with his boy friends on Sunday and won't even tell me he is going. Then when I ask him about it, all he will say is that that is just his way; that he has been doing this all the time and probably will until he grows older. He is 21 now. What do you think causes it? Do you think he will get over it soon or not? WHAT TO DO.

Answer—Many women have the same complaint to make against their sweethearts and husbands that you have against your boy friend. To them love is the most important thing in the world. The man they love is always first in their thoughts and no experi ence is complete without him. A day spent away from him must be followed by a day spent with him, relating everything that happened in sympathetic reunion. Few men place so much emphasis on love. They have other powerful interests which they do not feel impelled to share with a woman. Such men seldom satisfy a woman's yearning for companionship nor do they make her feel important in their scheme of things. It is as if they remained bachelors throughout their married lives with no capacity for entering into the feelings of another, Your cue is also to find other interests so that life isn't so vacant when your boy friend is away. Don't be so dependent on his presence for your hape piness. Since you are not engaged, it would be wise for you to cultivate other friends and see some other boys from time to time. ” ” ” EAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a boy of 17 and I went with a girl about seven months, She moved to the city. Her mother and stepfather never allowed any boys around her, Please tell me what I should do—forget her or go to her parents and explain it to them. B.T.R.

Answer—If your interest In her is strong enough, try to win her mother and stepfather over to your side. JANE JORDAN.
