Mr. Drake didn’t accept the help but did appreciate the thoughtfulness.

Most Appropriate J BOB OSLER, associate editor of the Insurance Research and Review Service, Inc., sends up a marked page torn from the San Quentin (prison) News that, as he comments, is “definitely the payoff.” The book review column, in a serious vein, starts off thusly: “If you like a fast moving, dynamic ‘who-dun-it,’ we heartily recommend ‘Murder for Two' . . .

national and international and because Roosevelt is far stronger than his party or individual congressional candidates. This is one of those half-truths which politicians | may be pardoned for peddling—that’s their racket. It| is not true that these special elections have been fought on local issues in the main, or that the defeated Democrats usually have been weak candidates. Take Denver. To lick the Democratic war hero, the Republican campaigned on the national issue of “less government in business and more business in government.”

Stronger Than Party

BUT IT is trug—and Republicans know it—that President Roosevelt today, as on the eve of his other national campaigns, is still stronger than his party. Therefore no intelligent Republican politician is now certain of the outcome, regardless of his boasts. Even if it were clear that the President would be defeated in an election held tomorrow, many things will happen before November. Because this is a war year, in which military surprises are inevitable and the consequent swing of public emotion is unpredictable, no November forecast today is worth much. President Roosevelt cannot evade much longer national and international decisions and acts—involving congress and our allies, and post-war settlements as well as military victory—which can make him or, break him as a candidate. Likewise, Republicans can increase or lose their present lead. If they fail to provide intelligent and vigorous leadership in congress, if their platform looks backward instead of forward, if they pick a mediocre or irresponsible presidential candidates, if they split instead of unite, the ace politiclan in the White "House is apt to outsmart them and outrun them for the fourth time-—despite the Republicans’ great opportunity. :

There's more to it than charm, : All the local girls who help out in the American Red Cross Service club here are agreed that G.Is have charm, but that they don’t rely on it. Chief among the worthy traits that endear our fighters to the girls Down Under are these: They thank a girl when they take her out, and don't expect the girl to thank them. They like to do the chasing; and they chase well. They ask a girl what she would like to do. They don’t greet her with: “We're going to the pictures.” They like to be bossed. You can't boss an Aussie!

Developed a ‘Line’

Pretty, quiet Barbara Garden is charmed by their frankness, by the way they whip out pictures of their sweethearts, wives, kids the moment they start talking, and divulge their life stories, family problems, and love affairs. She doesnt’ think it shows an unseemly lack of reserve. “It would with us, but it's natural with them.” “They're very homely,” says darkeyed Jane Buxton, stationed at the information desk, with the assurance that to an Australian “homely” means “home-loving. “They love to be around children. They're always bringing them presents and taking them for walks . . . and it's ‘Hello, Mom!’ and ‘Hello, Pop!’ when they come for dinner.”

Yanks Are Thoughtful

They have a lot of respect for women, the girls agree. A woman stays on a pedestal with an American until she falls off. And even though the men may come down from the islands with the Guinea gleam in their eye, most of them prefer companionship with a nice girl, and fun. Mostly, the girls are overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of the American man. They are becoming accustomed to deluges of flowers and gifts, but they're delighted by unexpected little touches of understanding, and the assumption that woman is a frail, ethereal creature unable to cope with the trials of the world and deserving of g. The girls are fast learning to take the famed G.I. “line,” navy “spray” and marine “snow” for what it's They admit they were suckers at first for the soulful how-have-I-managed-to-live-without-you line.

President. As parties developed, it was evident that under this system the President and Vice President would be of two different parties. The system was changed with adoption in 1804 of the 12th amendment to the constitution, which required that each elector vote both for President and Vice President, thus assuring that the two offices would be filled from the same party. The Federalist party argued that this amendment altered the original conception of the vice presidency, and that thereafter the vice presidential nomination would be given to mediocre men useful for vote-getting purposes.

Changed Original Conception

The Federalists backed a proposed constitutional amendment to .abolish the vice presidency. The Federalist contention was prophetic, as we have learned. We have become accustomed to the spectacle of the leaders getting together, after nomination of the candidate for President, and shopping around, usually in the deep watches of the night, for somebody who is from another part of

Gross collections .of federal taxes in Indiana for the eight-month period ending Feb. 29 were more than double. that for the corresponding period a year ago, Will H.

The gross collections for the first two months of this year showed an increase of $47,303,746 over last year although distilled spirits and gasoline taxes declined. The $9,000,000 increase in income taxes accounted for most of the intrease to $98,865,660.

1940 Election a Test

It happened as recently as 1940. President Roosevelt dropped Vice President John N. Garner - and forced a reluctant convention, by his personal power, to take Henry A Wallace, then secretary of agriculture, in order to help the ticket among Western farmers and to provide a New Deal line of succession. The President was so strong with the party that he no longer needed to make any gesture to the conservatives, represented by Mr. Garner. To offset Wendell L. Willkie's power-company and Wall Street background, Republican bosses reached to the opposite end of the country to pick as his running mate the late Senator Charles McNary of Oregon, a friend of public power development, a champion of the farmers and a man astute in politics.

Whéther he handled the desperate situation as well as another might have handled it, shackled as any President would have been by the radical bloc in congress, is still a subject of historical controversy. But it is a fact that many people at the time, especially in the South, held a low opinion of Abraham Lincoln's successor, and that for some years after the civil war political conventions exercised

it stopped the growth of bacteria, did not affect white corpuscles. “Now this was most important. For the white blood corpuscles themselves are germ killers, and most antiseptics are as destructive to their allies in the war against disease as they are to the bacteria causing the disease. Penicillin is unlike the sulfa drugs inasmuch as it is non-toxic. And while it does not kill the bacteria, it prevents them from developing.” As Prof. Fleming walked about his laboratory he took up one test tube after another, showing me how the penicillin was produced. The whole process seemed ridiculously simple. Nor did he fail to mention that others had carried on many experiments to determine the therapeutical value of the new drug. Notwithstanding the eminence he has attained, he still remains the unassuming farmer boy who was born 50-odd years ago in Darvel, in Ayrshire, Scotland. T Chance Discovery There was a sly humor about him, and when I asked him how he happéned to become a bacteriologist, he smiled as he answered, “It was just an accident.

more care in picking candidates for vice president. Louis Clinton Hatch, in his authoritative history of the vice presidency in the United States, concludes after his exhaustive _

. study of the subject:

“Greater care on the part of party managers in the choosing of vice presidential candidates is needed. . . . Many Republicans regretted exceedingly the nomination of Andrew Jackson and his ta_power in a critical time. Their resolve not to repeat the

"error led, in 1868, fo the most

spirited contest for the vice presidential nomination in the history of that party, but by 1880 the lesson had been entirely forgotten.”

Rates Six Who Succeeded

Mr. Hatch thus rates the six presidents who succeeded from the vice presidency through death of the president: Johnson, ineffective; John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Chester A. Arthur, Calvin Coolidge, all mediocre; Theodore Roosevelt, among the ablest. It is significant that Theodore Roosevelt was picked to run with McKinley for an unorthodox reason. Boss Thomas C. Platt of New York found the young man too progressive and too unpredictahle as Governor of New York, and arranged his nomination in order to bury him in the vice presidency, so that he would no longer have such a springboard to the presidency as the governor ship afforded. Calvin Coolidge, the last of our vice presidents to become President, probably was the closest to an actual choice by convention delegates of any of our vice presidential candidates. It is true that Senator Hiram Johnson of California was offered the nomination by the leaders who had picked Warren G. Harding for the presidential] nomination, but he refused. When the nomination was thrown open to the convention itself a wave of enthusiasm swept the delegates for the tight-lipped Massachusetts governor who had made a national reputation through his handling of the Boston police strike.

CHAPLIN CLAIMS ERROR IN GASE

Comedian Asks Appellate Court to Dismiss Paternity Charge.

HOLLYWOOD, March 10 (U. P.). —Much-lawed - against Charlie Chaplin today petitioned the district appellate court to dismiss the paternity suit of Joan Barry, who says his dramatic tutelage cast her in the unexpected role of a mother. The silver-haired movie comedian said Superior Judge Stanley Mosk erred in refusing to dismiss the action. He," Miss Barry, her mother, and their respective attorneys had agreed, he said, that the accusation would be dropped if & blood test should show he could not possibly be the father of five-months-old Carol Ann Barry. The test so showed, he said, but Miss Barry dropped her attorney instead of the case. They kept the $15,000 he paid for the support of the child as part of the agreement, he said, but delib~ erately violated the remainder of it.

To Appear March 31

In federal court, Judge J. F. T. O'Connor set March 31 for Chaplin's appearance with two friends and four Beverly Hills functionaries on charges of violating his former protege’s civil rights, O'Connor said he wouldn't be able to wade through the mass of documents presented so far before the end of the month. By that time, Chaplin's trial on Mann act charges for taking Miss Barry to New York and back, should be in its final stages. Judge O'Connor refused yesterday
