WASHINGTON Washington, December 7. ? > (Auto caster) Official Washington Is dis playing great interest in Presidential polls these days. The one that has attracted the most attention is poll recently completed by newspapers served by Publishers Autocaster Ser vice, which, reflecting as it does rural and small-town opinion exclusively, is regarded as highly significant. If there were a wide variation between the results shown by the different ef forts to get at a cross-section of na tional political views at this time, Washington might not be so interest ed. But when the Autocaster poll, the Literary Digest poll, so far as its pre liminary results have been disclosed the Gallup poll, and the poll taken a short time ago by Robert J. Lucas, all agree within a fraction of one per cent, and every one of them shows a marked decline in the strength of President Roosevelt's support, the to tal effect is impressive. All the polls agree in giving Mr. Roosevelt still the best of it, by ap proximately 53 per cent to 47 per cent. Even the most optimistic of the Administration's political soothsayers are now conceding more or less open ly that it looks as if it would be a close election in 1936. However, a lot of things can happen in a year. From Here On Some of the things which the Pres ident's friends are hoping will happen are a strong up-swing in business con ditions, the failure of the Opposition to develop real leadership and a sub sidence of the third party agitation. The latter contingency as things look now, can probably be dismissed as unlikely to be strongly enough con centrated anywhere to affect the el ectoral vote. As to leadership in the Republican Party, something may develop at the annual meeting of the Republican National Committee to be held here this month, which will clarify the is sues upon which the Opposition will make its stand. The man who suc ceeds in putting forward a program on which all Republicans can unite will certainly show evidence of lead ership. How to overcome the political effect of the AAA without losing great, blocks of farm votes is a puzzle to which no Republican political leader has so far given the answer. The strongest element in Mr. Roose velt's favor, as matters now stand, is that business is definitely improvine and that all the signs point to fur ther improvement. The stock market boom is not regarded here as danger ous. Governor Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board pointed out the other day that it would not become dan gerous until stock market speculation reached the point where it was being done on borrowed money. At present, he pointed out, transactions on the stock exchange are on a cash basis.) and the Federal Reserve has ample power to check any inflation of credit | such as caused the market collapse in 1929. Retrenchment Forecast The Administration is very clearly I determined to begin a policy of re- ! trenchment of governmental expendi tures. The statement by Representa- \ tive James P. Buchanan, of Texas, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, after his conferences! last week with the President at Warm i Springs, that Jhe was preparing to make the strongest fight of his life for economy, and that there was reason to believe that the deficit could be reduced to not more than $500,000,000 for the next fiscal year, is accepted here as a genuine expression of in tention, on the part of a man who wields great power in Congress. Yet there is never any telling what any Congress may do. The reasonable certainty that a veterans' bonus will be enacted is a matter of some con cern. If a plan for settling the veter ans' claims with reasonably long-term bonds can be put through. It will not materially affect the annual budget, but many returning members are bringing back reports of demands for cash instead of bonds, and that may be one of the big issues to be fought out on the floor of Congress. The tongue of gossip is as active as ever on the matter of Cabinet changes. The latest rumors would shift Secretary Roper to the Post Of fice Department and George Peek from his rather anomalous position in the State Department to Secretary of Commerce. The President wants to keep Peek in the Administration. It is more than whispered that he wculd like to have Secretary Ickes out of the Administration. Also, very strong pressure is being put upon the President to get rid of Dr. Tugwcll, who no longer functions as Under Secretary of Agriculture, although he, retains the title. e d icatecT^^ with ingredients of Vicks VapoRub Vicks Cough Drop , THE FAMILY i DOCTOR i JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D ' SEASONABLE TALK Well, the "summer colds" have 1 had their day for 1935. We all agree that a cold at any time is hard to get along with ? winter or summer. The family doctor gets all fussed up at times. - He must decide whether it is "flu", or "intestinal flu", or just a common cold. He hazards many guesses from his exhaustive study of such things. Just what kind of germ it is and which is the best way to slaughter that particular germ. It does not matter, so that the patient recovers nicely. I do not believe anybody can tell the difference between an ordinary attack of influenza, and the common cold. It makes no difference anyhow ? the treatment is the same. There is no danger in either case, provided the conditions are not com plicated with other, more dangerous things. Either one may be followed by pneumonia, an exceedingly dangerous disease. The proper treatment at the very beginning of a cold ? or "flu," ? is to ward off complications. Just going to bed is the most important step to be taken at the onset of a cold or influenza. Go to bed and stay there. Call your physician. He may be able to ad vise you over the telephone ? but get in touch with him. Don't wait until the thing has run into something serious I Be safe. Use common sense. Better lie in bed two or three days than as many weeks or months! Your physician may tell you vaccines are of no use in either the cure or the prevention of colds. I grant him that right. But I certainly use them, both for immunization and treatment. Ample try-outs confirm my belief and practice. iJundayJtJicltoot 4 ncwRv-Xe^fon R4DCUFFC TEACHING THE LAW International Sunday School Lesson for December 15, 1935 GOLDEN TEXT: "Thy word have I laid up in my heart." Psalm 119:11. (Lesson Text :Ezra 7:10; Neh. 8:1-3, 5, 6, 8-12.) In our last lesson we saw how Ne hemiah successfully completed the building of the wall around Jerusa lem. For the first time in years the Jews who had returned from the exile enjoyed a condition of ^security. It was natural therefore that during this improved period that the minds turned to a consideration of religious study. The first day of the seventh month has been observed by Jerusalem since the time of Alexander the Great as I the New Year. Originally, it was cel ebrated by the Feast of Trumpets. On this notable day in the year 445 j B. C. the people gathered before what was known as the Water Gate and we find them asking Ezra to bring to them the book of the law of Moses, probably referring to the Pentateuch. In this passage we have Ezra men tioned again twelve years afttlr he had last been referred to. Whether he had been absent or not we don't know. In response to the request of the people Ezra began his religious pro ceeding with a prayer of blessing for Jehovah. The people responded in this worship, which was told them by reading from the book of the law dur ing a period which must have been at least six or seven years. During this time we are told that the peo ple were attentive to the word. Ezra was reading from a record written in the ancient Hebrew time, which was not familiar to the Jews of his own day. Most of these were familiar with the Aramaic, which they had acquired while in the cap tivity. Consequently, it was necessary for interpreters to be stationed a [ mong the people so that they could I translate to them the sense of th? 1 reading. ? Likewise, today, when we read the Bible we should alwavs keep 1 in mind the difficulty in translation and the differences between our own experiences and the customs of an ancient people in a different land and at a different time. I Previous to the reading of the law bv Ezra, the knowledge of the Jew jsh Scriptures had been confined very largely to priests and a limited num ! ber of scholars. The book was not* i cpen to the common people. Yet whe" it was read to them by Ezra the ef fect was remarkable and the peopl? ; wept as they heard the warnings | <*nd extortations of Jehovah read t~ them. However. Nehemiah and Ezra I urged them not to mourn for the da' was a holy day. and advised them to enjoy the occasion. As is usually the case, the know- 1 ] ledge of God's word produced a de sire unon the part of the people f be more religious. Shortly afterward c we find Ezra instructing a group of leaders and the people observed, the Peast of Tabernacles for the . first time since the days of Joshua. The connection with this lesson ic ?hat we should realize that the Bible has not always been open and acces c'ble to the public. Hundreds of con scientious and courasre^is men have ?1ven their lives in the course of the struggle to bring the Bible within the reach of every man. We should ap preciate the priceless heritage which las come down to us. The best test of the value of the Bible is its own contents. No person :an read it deliberately and thought fully without being . improved and laving higher ideals f6r life and con iuct. The literature of the world and ixperience of mankind is a sufficient ;est to the miracle-working power of the Holy Scripture in the lives of nankind. Everyone should adopt some method of studying this great relig ious record. o Business Directory If you are in doubt as to where to Ind anything look over this list.

' * CHILDREN WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PARENTS Dear Louisa: You are always writing about rights of children, now what about a few Tights for parents? We raised our family and now our children seem to think we are anxious to raise theirs. If Alma feels like she wants to rest she just bundles the children ? over to our house and goes to bed. If Jane wants to take a trip, without so much as by your leave, she packs her young hopefuls off on us. Last year our youngest daughter and her husband had a disagreement and Just to make him feel badly she came home with her two babies and stayed a month. Now, if he hadn't done anything aw ful and if she hadn't had somewhere to go they would have patched up their row in about two days. Please don't get the idea that I am a heartless old woman who cares nothing for her grandchildren. As a matter of fact, I am very fond of all of them and enjoy talcing care of them occasionally, but it is this thing of using my home as a perpetual nursery and me as an all-the-time nursemaid that is getting on my nerves. *? TIRED GRANDMOTHER Answer: I am not surprised that you or your husband are developing nerves for there is nothing quite as trying as taking care of small chil dren, particularly after one has be come accustomed to a quiet, peaceful home. I think your children are very thoughtless to burden you so much of the time with the actual care of their children. I feel sure that If any of them were really sick and could not afford competent care for their children you would be the first to offer to take them or if one of your girls had few pleasures and was giv en the opportunity of having a nice trip you would want her to have it even if you sacrificed some peace and quiet for it. But? this thing of be ing made the goat whenever one of them wishes to lie abed and read a book, or go on a junket, is carry ing things too far. People are constituted different ly, and while there are some grand mothers who can never see enough of their grandchildren, there are oth- ' ers who get tired of having them un- , derfoot all of the time. I think that the least a daughter can do is to I ask her mother if it is convenient for her to leave Sonny and Sister with her when she goes away. It is just possible that grandmother may be entertaining the missionary circle or planning a trip to the movies her self. Times have changed and grand mothers have a great variety of in terests in these days and times and do not spend half of their lives knit ting or dozing in the sunshine. LOUISA o FIND PRE-HISTORIC FOSSILS "SOMEWHERE IN WEST" A "gold mine" of prehistoric fossils of sea serpents and other giant mar ine animals that roamed an inland sea extending from the Gulf of Mex ico to the Arctic Ocean about a hun dred million years ago has been dis covered by Dr. Barnum Brown, cu rator of fossil reptiles of the Ameri Heaters!! < I Hot Air Heaters ij And Circulators FOR WINTER HEAT. ? i > 4 Anti-Freeze | FOR YOUR RADIATOR. <?
