I DON'T KNOW what or whom to believe any more when it comes to pumpkins. A man should be able to believe county agricultural agents when they're making with advice. I don’t think Pat Murphy, who pounds clod in Marion County, and A. V. Keesling, Bartholomew County agent, would give me a lS bum steen . And yet, when they talk about the climate in these parts wohanging to such. an extent . that soon Indiana will be a tropical region, I suspect my A leg’s being tugged. ¥ Pat I know from 'way back. He can hold his own with tall stories against the best. in the ee business. A. V. is a new acquaintance. Good talker, : They were discussing hogs when I walked into Pat's office. I changed that. Pumpkins are on my brain these days. “Say, now that you mention your pumpkin

vines, how are they doing?” asked Pat, winking at A. V,

® al ue WELL, T TOLD him the vines were spreading out well, the leaves were nice and green and any day blossoms should be making an appearance. : Pat rubbed his chin, studied the end of his cigar and then asked, “What are you going to do about the climate?” : The question threw me for a moment. So it’s hot and humid and we've been getting more rain than usual. So what? “Conditions here are similar to the tropics and you know what that means, don’t you?”

No, I didn’t know. Pat painted a pretty’

picture of the vines getting out of control and spreading all over Spann Ave. engulfing Fire Station 15 on English Ave. the pumpkin growing big and fat only to be burned by the intense heat of the sun, huge tropical insects attacking the plant, battles with reptiles crawling over he vines, : > > ob ; “PAT'S GOT something there,” ‘A. V. said solemnly. “Better spray that plant with insect powder every day if you want a pumpkin in the Muck Crop Show.”

CHICAGO, July 7—I have a wonderful hotel room for the Republican convention, The only trouble, it's in Milwaukee, ! “It's as crowded here as a boy's suit would be with Sidney Greenstreet and Alfred Hitchcock both in it,” somebody said. One reason is that the networks have sent comedians like Bob Hope and Roger Price to cover the event. Each comedian needs several writers. Then the writers have to have writers. And don’t forget the TV makeup men. They all have assistants. Their assistants have assistants. Il's endless. Messrs. Hope, Price, et al, are following in the footsteps of Will Rogers. I wish he could be here making us laugh. Do any of you oldsters remember Will at the Democratic convention in ’32? I was a kid reporter from Columbus, attending my first convention, ; ‘ They called Will out of the press box—which had such men as Arthur Brisbane and Floyd Gibbons in it—during a lull. Kingfish Huey Long was here—a big man in 8 seersucker suit—dramatically waving his arms ~and had taken the rostrum to fight for recognition of his pro-FDR delega from Louisiana. Allowed. a limited time to speak, he won quick applause. He thrust out an open palm like a traffic cop. + a “Please,” he pleaded, “don’t take up my time applauding.” Rogers, chewing gum and pushing back his forelock, came next, and said: . “Now I'm going to do something nobody has done on this platform—say a good word for the Républicans.” There was a wild yell of applause. “Please,” yelled Will, thrusting out his palm in a mimicry of Huey, “don’t take up my time laughin’.” s dS 0B THEY WERE battling about’ putting beer and booze in the Democratic platform 20 years ago. “You know the platform don’t mean nothing nohow,” Will told them. “We'll all forget ‘about it as soon as we get out of here—won’t nobody ever read it again after today.” Richard B. Russell of Georgia was introduced as the ‘youngest Governor in the United States.” He was 34 then. . All the mudstinging that goes on at the conventions reminds me of how Will Rogers asked Herbert Hoover ahd FDR both to call a meratorium on speeches just before the election that ear. y “They've both called each other everything in the world they can think of,” he said. “Both of you boys go fishing,” he advised them the week before election. “Then come back next Wednesday and we will let you know which one of you is the lesser of the two evils.” I guess they wouldn't let any comedians talk

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

CHICAGO, July T—The late Will Rogers once remarked we must indeed be a great nation, if we could undergo a national political convention once every four years, and he never uttered a truer word. ; a I suppose conventions are a democratic necessity. Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler to settle the whole thing, one flop, high dice wins. It would at least be cooler and less trying on the customer. To say I am facing the ordeal of the next month with horror would be a mil# understate: ment. The heat and high stupidity of the last conclave in the city of perpetual Sunday, Philadelphia, will always burn the scar tissue of my soul. Especially do I recall the fine day in Convention Hall when I arose from a chair in a hurry and left the seat of my pants firmly affixed to the melting varnish. A man with no seat to

. his pants in Philadelphia is a pitiable object.

THE BIG STORY in the last one seemed to be television, It was a fairly fresh medium for the politico in those -days—B. K., or Before Kefauver —and they weren't very hep about make-up and stuff. As I recall the fiery Missus Clare Boothe Luce, she looked like a lady rising from the sea, and a little green, to boot. Television also fetched forth the William Jennings Bryan in the most undistinguished delegates, and every hambone from the deep sticks was constrained to make. a speech for the benefit of the giant, sweeping cameras. The Republican shindig last time was about as exciting as a pitched battle between two lustbitten snails. Everybody knew it was to be Mr. Dewey, and they spent the week purely in sweating and sneering at the Democrats, They felt it had to be Harry, unless the party busted prece-

_dent and kicked him out of the nomination. And

everybody knew that poor, pathetic Harry couldn't

win it. - * BD

THE DEMOCRATIC operation had all the jovial appeal of a lynching party. They left the President of the United States sitting out in an alley until about 2 a. m, and when he riz up finally to make his famous hell-roaring speech, few people heard him and fewer saw him on the TV screen. . 1 saw him, and heard him. That is when I wrote the most accurate piece I ever tore up. That was the piece which said Mr. Truman would win, No" more cold logic for this boy from now-on. From here in I am a hunch player. It is nice to note that Messrs. Eisenhower and Taft opened this lawn-fete by thumbing ‘noses at

. sach other and hurling the well-tried epithet. You

still” get the impression nobody cares who wins

the election; and life will stop after the Republi- ing. : ®

' “Best way>to grow pumpkins is to have the vine by the side of the house and the pumpkin in the basement.” A, V.s suggestion didn't seem practical. ' : “Do you plan to pull blossoms off when they appear?” Pat asked. “Don’t do it,” he answered. “Wait until the pumpkins appear and leave the healthiest specimen on the vine.” * ‘ ROSCOE FRASER, Purdue University extension specialist in vegetables, advises to keep female blossoms picked off, leaving only two to a vine. Pat and A. V, said their method was better.

“Another thing, bury .a section of sewer tile about 12 inches in diameter and:three or four feet long.” Pat still had the floor. “Fill it full of manure, commercial fertilizer, water it good. Place it about three feet from the pumpkin vine root. The solution will seep into the ground and feed the roots.”

“Is that necessary?” “You want to grow a prize winner, don’t you?” Pouring skim milk on’ the roots was a good idea, the two gents said. Along with the skim milk, Pat suggested slitting a vine, inserting one end of a wick and putting the other end into a pan of rich, whole milk which will seep into the vine.

IT IS THE HABIT of all pundits to make sweeping ‘predictions on the eve of battle, and I am no traitor to my guild. Herewith predictions, after mature deliberation. : It will be hot. It will get hotter. Whisky will be drunk. There will be crowds, there will be fistfights. All the cranks and camp-followers who attach themselves to big events, like prize fights and political bloodbaths, will strut and preen and posture and exhibit and point pridefully to their own presence, Speeches will be made. All will be dull, but some will be longer and duller than others, if that is possible, and I fear it is. Rumors, all unfounded, will circulate as the gospel. Children will get lost, and ladies will become ill. Everybody will write too much about too little, and the coverage of the unimportant will reach fantastic heights. A burp will be a thunderclap heard around the nation. A candidate for the presidency will be nominated by the Republicans, and later, by the Democrats, and one of them will lose in November. I wish it was November, now.

There are several common varieties—one of them, ‘also in bloom now, a sunny yellow, hence “sundrop.” Botanically they haven't the slightest connection with the little shade-loving true primrose. Their botanical name has an odd little history. It's oenothera (rhymes with “We know Vera”) and is supposed to be from the Greek words for winescenting, long-time-ago uses of the roots. The evening primroses are wonderful plants that grow weedily without becoming a nuisance. ‘It is such a toughie you could move it even in bloom and not hurt it. very much.

LONDON—

By FERN RICH LONDON, July 7— The second city of London, which has been growing beneath England's capital for the past year and a half, is supposed to be a big secret, > : But, like most secrets, nearly everyone knows about this one. The catch is that no official will say “yes,” “no” or even “maybe.” What actually seems to be going on is the building of an atomproof citadel, 45 feet beneath London streets. Seven shafts have been excavated, all of which will be linked by tunnels ahd possibly by electric trains. Supposedly there are thousands of rooms being constructed, complete with power generators, food storage facilities, telephones and all the equipment nécessary to permit the various ministries and civil servants to carry on government in case of atomic attack.

EJ ® 8 LONDONERS now are well aware of the citadel used by Prime Minister Churchill .and government leaders during the Battle of Britain. It accommodated 2000 people and was built of steel and concrete. ‘It was called the Rotunda and still exists and has’ been maintained. In another part of London, about three miles from Whitehall, is a World War II deep air-raid shelter which alsd has been maintained and which some guess will be included in the underground network.

ALTHOUGH MILLIONS of Americans have real organic heart disease, fifteen million think they have—but haven't. Their héart symptoms may be real—but their disease imaginary. f ! For example, your heart may occasionally skip and jump about like a skittish colt, yet be healthy and full of vigor. You may have any—or all—of the following symptoms of organic heart disease and not have heart trouble at all: Shortness of breath, palpitation, chest pain, tiredness, cough, dizziness, faintness, asthmatic attacks, swelling of the ankles, indigestion. (More about these later.) I remember Mary Smith who was certain she was dying of heart disease. She developed pain in her chest about a week after her best friend had an attack of coronary occlusion. The pain was worse after eating. (“Exactly the same symptoms Dorothy had,” she said.) So she went to bed and refused to call a doctor because (as she said later) “I was afraid to hear the bad news.” »

You must believe the doctor is telling the truth when he says your heart is normal. Today's doctor is unusually frank. Yet people still say: “I know it's my heart— but the doctor won't tell me.
