BILOXI, Miss., June 18.—It is ‘my contention that a vacation is not worth the sand it’s built on unless you succeed in utterly wasting a great deal of time. Judged by that standard, my vacation was a screaming suc-
~ cess, For during these last three weeks I have played
350 games of solitaire, and if that isn't wasting time, I wish you'd mail me your idea of a timewaster. / Yessir, 350 games of’ solitaire, and I kept statistics, too. I played the simplest and most regulation. type of solitaire. Where you deal out seven stacks, build down in color rotation on your stacks, and up on your aces. Play one card at a time, and through the-deck only once. You work on the theory that you pay $52 for the deck each
time, and get back $5 for each card you get out on the
ace-stacks. Thus if you get out eight cards you recover $40, which still leaves you $12 loser for the hand. If you actually “win"—or play out all cards—you net $208 for the winning hand. In those 350 hands, I had.a total loss of $7132, and a total gain of $3462, or a net loss of $3670. I suppose most of you would go out on the beach and blow your brains out if you lost $3670. Not me. I fre-
' quently spend $3670 just buying newspapers.

~My average loss per hand figured out $10.48. Further figuring brings out the fact that I lost around $2 i minute. That" is almost as much as I make per minute when I'm working at my regular job. | Eleven times during the 350 games I had complete ins—played all the cards out. That figures up to &

I REMEMBER Anna McKenzie quite well. She When she found
of anybody around here to analyze Indianapolis ‘people in terms of polite society. The 206-page book appeared in ‘the fall of 1895 and, rightaway, the foundations of Indianapolis ‘started rocking like everything. Of the 105,426 people living ‘in Indianapolis in: 1895, only 12825 were good enough to get ‘their names in Miss McKen.zie’'s “Red Book.” Practically all lived north of Washington St.! Only two had their homes % on the Sonth Side: William For.syth on Fletcher Ave. and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lieber on Madison Ave. 4 Woodruff Place came through handsomely with 51 of its eitizens in the book. And, believe it or not, back in 1895 Irvirigton had 98 people qualified to sit in polite society. Crown Hill had something like half a dozen. It's nothing to be alarmed about. They were people like the Chisletts, for instance, whose business it was to run the cemetery. ” ” ”
The Bachelors Listed
Miss McKenzie also combed the hotels and apart-
ment houses for material. Five of the people living
in the Bates House got into the “Red Book.” The list started off with Mr. and Mrs. Hervey Bates Sr. Only two living at English’s Hotel made the grade— the Hon. William E. English and wife. On’ the other hand, the Denison Hotel had no less than 23. It was top-heavy with bachelors—men like Arthur V. Brown, for instance, and Guy Haugh and Bob Martindale. Every one was considered & mighty good catch. ? As for the apartment houses, the Blacherne had 18 tenants good enough to get int6 the “Red Book,” including Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Fletcher and Mr. and Mrs. Ovid Jameson. With Dr. and Mrs. Lafayette Page and Floyd Woods and George Mull, the Chalfant crashed through with seven.
Washington
WASHINGTON, June 18.—It may not impress you at all, and perhaps sentiment is about to get me down, but one little thing about the opening prograth suggests to me that perhaps the Republican National Convention a4 Philadelphia next week may not lay an ; egg after all. : The little thing is simply this. The convention will open with a performance of “A Ballad for Americans.” If you have heard it, you know: what I mean. If ’ not, then ycu won't understand until your blood begins to tingle as you hear it on the air the opening night. This remarkable and unorthodox selection suggests that someone in the Republican Party has ‘caught ‘the spirit of the hour. > : For this 4s the ballad of the hour. As nearly as anything that- has ever been set to music, this is the voice of the American spirit, seen "thréugh the Negro mind, a kind of “Green Pastures” of American history, embedded in a throbbing, beating score that paces the swift rush of the American people. be : : Tt sings the faith of Patrick Henry, of the nobodies who believed in liberty, of the nobodies who ran a tea party at Boston, of Paul Reveie, of the people who found the going rough and who said 13 states were not enough, of Lincoln at Gettysburg, of the ’49ers. 1t is as*American as ham and eggs. It is nourishment to the soul, sorely needed now. . . 2 ” ”
Must Our Democracy Fail?
This is no time to open a national convention, as has been the practice, with some opera singer, who .has a friend on arrangements committee, rendering “Danny Deever” and the “Road to Mandalay.” There is need for this convention to be different bechuse it will be meeting at the hour of a great ‘Hitler triumph, a triumph for dictatorship, and in

WASHINGTON, Monday.—I had a most beautiful drive yesterday afternoon along the banks of the Hudson. However, I learn: all over again how many of
us in this colintry have cars, for our progress was slow indeed. Though that gives more time to enjoy ola "the scenery, if one has a desti- | nation to reach at a given time, it can be a trifle distracting. On the way back, I found a much less frequented, if not quite as scenically beautiful rodd. I arrived home in plenty of time to dine with Mr. and Mrs. Parish and have another quiet evening before I had to leave for New York City to take the midnight train for Washington. It is gray and cool here today and I have spent the morning at a meeting of the state directors of the National South Administration. These people have such an important and responsible piece of work to do. I am sure for many of them the adjustment to world developments during the last few weeks has been as difficult as it has been for the rest of us. . | : ; The world in which we all advocated peace and reason, suddenly turns into a world in which we must a mly defense.

There Were No Successors Among those who received on Friday were the |
ning. At the end, I had no “win” in the last 43 hands. The longest expanse between wins was 74 games, and the shortest was eight games. I never did win twice in a row, but I came so close it made-my teeth chatter. It is “much easier to win than it is to go clear through a game without getting out a single ace. In fact, I don't remember ever having done so. Yet there were five times when I didn’t get out a single card. Eight" different times I missed a complete win by the mere transposition of two cards. If the black 10 had been on top of the red nine, instead of vice versa, I could have played clear out. . . : If people actually do go into gambling houses and play solitaire against the house (I've always heard they did, but have yet to see it) then I've got some figures “hat, unfortunately, will encourage them. Your only chance would be to win on the first few hands, and then quit. And I must confess that twice I won on the very first hand ‘after sitting down to lay. Ui p A number of times I clocked myself, and found that each hand averaged about five minutes. That means that, altogether, I played. solitaire 29 hours and 10 minutes. Working a. full eight-hour day, I, would have played three| days, five hours and 10 minutes. The shining hours I have improved! x
He Didn't Cheat,
Eithe I found that 350 games is about all the solitaire a fellow can play in three weeks without actually working at it, which I didn’t. Just played when I felt the urge and enjoyed it. My luck seemed to run in cycles. Sometimes it was so bad I became convinced that some of the cards were missing, and I would ti¥en count them. ' However, my luck never got so good I thought any cards were missing. I might add that I did not cheat. But I did have to watch payself pretty closely in the tight spots. That, friends, is all of my solitaire lore. The results of this investigation are being turned over to the Bureau of Standards for calibration and rechecking, and will then be franked out to all voters who have paid their 1945 poll tax.

By all odds, though, the most exciting part of Miss McKenzie’s book were the pages devoted to the Reception Days of Indianapolis women. Maybe you won't believe it, but it's the gospel truth that, back in 1895, no less than 35 Indianapolis women picked Wash-Monday to receive their company. Included in the list were Mrs. Solomen Claypool, Mrs. Caleb Denny, Mrs. Eli Lilly and Mrs. Harriet Augusta Prunk who ran a stylish elocution class in those days. | On Tuesdays, 42 women stayed home. The list included the wives belonging to Tom Taggart, Clem-
and Hugh Hanna. |
Only 20 picked Wednesday for their day at home. |
The official list recorded in the “Red Book” included the names of Mrs. May Wright Sewall, Mrs. Henry D. Pierce and Mrs. Noble Butler. This group always played to full houses. > . Thursday was the most popular Reception Day of the week. On that day 43 women received, including Mrs. Volney T. Malott, Mrs. Austin H. Brown, Mrs. D. P. Erwin and Mrs. Ovid B. Jameson. 2 ” rae ”

the hour when the kind of: life that has been the ideal of this nation has collapsed under its cross in Europe. | Democracy has been a failure in Europe. It has been blind, slow, inefficient, unable to understand its interests and to protect them. The idea of popular sovereignty is down flat on its back. The tribal king is on the throne again. Democracy is a relatively. new experiment. The defeat of France and the beating that England has taken raise the very real question whether democracy has the ability to survive, whether it does not have inherent weaknesses which doom it to extinction. We have the opportunity to make the demonstration in favor of democracy under more favorable conditions than existed for England and France. Though the conditions are more favorable, still it is an experiment, ” E-3
Function of the Opposition
An inherent part of the democratic process is the political oppasition. It is supposed that by the fact
of one party working against the other, one acting
as a check and a prod 'to the other, a wiser judgment results.| An opposition party can render serious disservice now by indulging in the luxury of trivial and insincere attacks. But it can, under a sense of responsibility, stimulate needed action instead of paralyzing it. Several party leaders, including Governor Stassen, the keynoter, indicate a deep sense ‘of this situation. It is that which is reflected in the unusual selection of the moving “Ballad for Americans” to suggest, the spirit of the hour. : -The, arrangements committee was slightly embarrassed when it engaged the original company to sing the ballad and discovered that the star, Paul Robeson, was a little too friendly with Moscow to fit in with the Republican atmosphere at Philadelphia. change in the cast had to be made. Otherwise it will be the| same performance that created the sensation on the air some months ago. Too bad though that Robeson wasn’t a Republican, because he has a voice that can make you believe in America.

develop young people in ways which today are especially valuable. They live, work and play together and have an opportunity to discuss and put into practice their concept of democracy. In explaining their work, they say one thing which I think we need to keep before us—“The* task of democracy in this generation is essentially the same, a call to work out basic spiritual values in terms of new threats and new oppositions. The only thing to do is to regenerate our democracy.; . ase Ar § ap 2 Tihs

he Senator served in both branches of Ohio Legislature, and at lone time was Speaker of the House. There he interested himself in reorganizing the state tax system. He voted for abolition of [child labor, for old-age pensions, for unmasking the Ku-Klux Klan, among other measures. His approach to issues is prage= matic, whether they are domestic or foreign. He examines problems as they come along, seeking a practical solution view of changing times and conditions. He believes that foreign policy must be considered from this viewpoint. He holds that a Pres= ident must be trusted in the day-by-day handling of foreign policy, with Congress intervening only on major matters of concern to the whole country. He voted for revision of the Neutrality Act and for the loan to Finland. But he has expressed publicy and frequently the fear that President Roosevelt's attitude may involve the United States in the European war. The Senator’s political history has shown him often seeming to start against heavy odds and overcoming them by persistent plugging. When he. announced for the Republican Senatorial nomination in. Ohio, for instance, political wisecrackers gave him hardly an outside chance. When he surprised them by winning in the primary, most of them were sure he could not beat Senator Bulkley. He surprised them again. That's one of the reasons: why, despite the numerous handicaps he seems to carry in his present rate, many observers now consider Bob Taft a strong “hunch” candidate for the Republican nomination at Philadelphia.

Winship Finds City's Dust Is a Scarifying Problem
Indianapolis residents who live on unpaved streets have dust, and they're complaining. City Streets Commissioner Wilbur Winship has 500,000 gallons of oil to lay the dust, and he’s complaining. Mr. Winship, complained today that his unimproved streets’ oiling program is bottlenecked by his graders and scarifyers. He has only four graders to grade ‘the streets before
the oilers can lay the oil to la’ the
dust. That's not enough, he said. The graders are grading and, in their wake, the oilers are oiling. But the whole operation is slow. Ahead, the. dust is swirling and the resicents are complaining. It's the old story of the tortoise and the hare in the unpaved streets division at City Hall. The graders, noisy, churning scarifying and scraping machines, move steadily, but slowly: like the tortoise. The . speedier oilers stay
'behind, until the graders are far ahead. Then the big oilers go into action, spreading heavy road petroleum until they catch up\to_the graders. . fa Mr. Winship said he wasn't sure how City Councilk would look at it, but he’s going to ask thejCity Fathers for four more graders next | year. That will give him eight machines | to grade the 254 miles of] unpaved streets in the city. Mr. wigs figured that the two oilers | ould be able to keep up with the eight graders. | Mr, Winship got a larger appro'priation’ for oil this year, 'after he ran out of it in mid-summer last iyear. Now, he says, he has erough loil to lay the dust on all the un- | paved streets in Indianapolis. All he needs is more machinery | to grade the streets to lay oil to lay the dust.
