????I ? TT 'J.**** * ' : "* yc 1 '*"? * ' ? I * ^' V'"1 1 President to Be Elected This Year Will ? Not Be a Heavyweight, Doctor Says - H itr ET nnr have men abottt me that are fat ..." may hare been true enough when Shake ?. epeare wrote It, but Dr. Eugene Lyman Flak of the Lite Extension Institute arises to take exception. ??"The lean and hungry, look Isn't half so dangerous as the fat look," says the doctor, and Just to prove his point dares bet his own dapper waistline that the next president of the United States i Won't havo an extra ounce of tat ? and might, in fact, have "the lean ?' and hungry look." Here's the picture of Mr. Preai dent-elect in 192&, according to Dr. Fish. He will be. over 50, of at. least; average -height, muscular or slight, but not a big man.. ? Dr. Flak isn't painting a pen picture of thin Charlie Dawes as next president. He doesn't pre tend to have any inside dope on THE MAN, but it's Jnst his law Of averages that tell him what the president won't be. Hoover Not Fat v Neither is Dr. Fiek' eliminating such gentlemen who border on the burly as Herbert Hoover, Nick Longworth or William Borah. '.'They' aren't really fat men," he says?"Just big men. Besides, Hoover is not far enough beyond the. M mark "to make It so sur prising, to And an able, man who ~ is also slightly embonpolnted." S JBr, Fiek explains -hie certainty that onr next president-won't be fat like this: ' "The very'nature of the job de mands that a president be a man of wide experience. He would have to be over frfr. Now the proportion of able heavy men over 50 com pared with sttghnjum ts so-smalt char there's hardly a remote ,chance thai one 01 these raritle wtll he president.

It Is a strange and wonderful story, and without this clear association of it with service we might tend to think of it as something removed from the plane of ordinary daily life Consider the facts Jesus took Pet eT. James, and John?the three disciples of outstanding per sonality and intensity?up into the mountain with him Just why others were not taken is not made clear. ? Perhaps the meaning of the experience might have been lost upon them. * But there upon the mountain Jesus, in some way. was transfig ured before these three disciples All. that occurred and the way in m ich.it occurred is not made .in, but the disciples beatific vision of Christ, some* Unng more glorious even than the effect of his earthly presence His garments became glistening and of a whiteness so pure end beauti ful that nothing that they had ever.seen approached It. ^Effect on Disciples The effect upon the disciples was t striking.

The reaction of the Mat -ttn questionnaire began to show K self the latter part of the week and the list of Immortals" appears to be in rather bad standing with Smith adherents. With the latter tt is "Smith or bast," opinions of State officials and "prominent Democrats" to the contrary notwithstanding The opposition is not organlxed It is not even attempting to organise; has not agreed upon a man to propose and seems utterly indifferent to the acti vities of the Smith boosters, with ths Democratic State Convention date rapidly approaching.
