Washington Struggle Over Democratic Nominee Shapes 1940
Washington dispatch analyzes a power struggle among President Roosevelt allies and rivals to steer the Democratic Party. Hopkins and the Iowa outcome challenge the inner circle, while Garner and Farley back a middle-of-the-road 1940 nominee to avoid third-party drift. If the party bands together, a cautious Roosevelt stance limits overt backing.

Burglary Fears and Aunts Shield Home with Mighty Statues
A humorous reminiscence recalls how alarmed 19th century households protected their homes. Aunt Eulalie trusts physics and psychology to deter burglars by placing famous statues behind lamps and curtains, from the Greek Slave to Dante and Beethoven, creating a nightly shadow gallery that allegedly kept thieves away. The tale ends noting no burglaries in the row yet, though the near idle defense seems more legend than shield.
