A brief devotional quotes James Martineau on tears as a path to discern heaven and God, and Job 16 20 on weeping unto God. The piece links sorrow with prayer, noting bereavement as a catalyst for spiritual insight.
The drive to end the two thirds nominating rule signals Roosevelt loyalists push toward a 1940 successor. Rumors tie Secretary Wallace to the future, but leadership hinges on four year recovery progress. Liberal losses could birth a third party, risking a party split and possible Republican resurgence.
A tongue in cheek note compares generations, quoting an 1899 UT paper item about dancing lessons and a chemistry joke KI plus 28 equals KISS. It ends by asking readers to judge whether the formula has truly fallen out of date.
The piece argues the public must participate in welfare work and questions private relief by groups like the Red Cross. It notes private funding for relief is unlikely and weighs costs of ending WPA or reverting to dole, citing average current relief of $33 per month and potential reductions to about $20.4 per month at the start of 1936.
The author notes 5,000,900 people on relief and argues that even with prosperity returning the direct relief total would stay around 5 million. Abolishing the WPA would raise inaptly a monthly 20 dollars per person costing 100 million monthly or 1.2 billion yearly, funded by government thus undermining public participation. No easy shortcut ends the relief headache.
Cleveland realtor James G. Caffrey urges creation of a governing body to regulate real estate promoters and certify them like security salesmen. He argues that the sub division conduct of the past decade fueled the low mood in real estate before the Depression, and a regulatory step is a move in the right direction to prevent a nation wide fiasco.
Washington observers weigh how Roosevelt may defend the New Deal as Lemke's third party looms. Republicans argue recovery came after NRA and AAA declines, while New Deal spokesmen tout relief spending. The campaign gears toward radio plus print, with Walsh-Healey and congressional records central to the debate.
From Isle of Mugeres to Galveston the mutinous sergeant Seymour Oswald and conspirators plan to seize both schooners and sell them to Mexico. The revolt ends with a fatal officers’ clash, a jail stay, and the San Antonio’s mysterious fate after August 1842 amid a Texas blockade and rumor of piracy.
A physician endorses constitutional treatment for hemorrhoids over local measures. Start a fast of five days with fruit juice or fruit fast, followed by a non constipation diet and daily enemas to cleanse the colon. Ice cone treatments three times daily contract veins and soothe the area, then glycerin or coco butter suppositories aid healing. When protruding, gently return them with vaseline and warm baths or towels. In severe cases injections by a skilled doctor may yield lasting relief, with an offer for a two page article on Rectal Disorders.
A health column answers questions on blood pressure in a 76 year old woman and the idea that blood pressure should rise with age. The expert says 140 is normal for her and not a concern, and notes that maintaining around 140 can be advantageous at that age. Also advised is aiming for an approximate normal weight based on bone structure, promoting balanced weight rather than extremes of under or overweight.
Dorothy Dix weighs whether a fiance should support his poor family while his wife supports the home. She argues the wife may earn to ease the burden, but cautions the husband’s conscience and happiness depend on shared sacrifice. If the wife helps briefly, she can strengthen the marriage rather than weaken it.
A man and two women wait at a curb as an old coupe rattles through traffic. The car stops and two burly youths lean from the window, confronting the man with a demand for a match. The scene unfolds with wary silence and tense stares.
