Monday, WASHINGTON.Few men; in Franklin D. Roosevelt's position would have gone merrily off on a two-week fishing' trip. It takes a peculiar mental and psychological makeup, and an unusual imperviousness to worry. This fishing trip is of a piece with the gay, self-confident air the President has persistently exhibited since March 4, 1933.

His critics call it "irresponsibility." Call it what you like, Roosevelt aside from the fact that he likes vacationing, fishing and sailing has a sense of strategy which tells him his position will be strengthened rather than weakened if he allows Congress to stew in its own juices. The fight of his life over the Supreme Court plan nears its critical days. Congress is more dan gerously rebellious than ever be- fore as one of the century's great issues and many other big ones hang in the balance. The whole administration program is side tracked. Nearly everyone is worried about price inflation threats and budget problems.

The economy issue is up in a big way, Across the park from the White House the U. S. Chamber of Com merce orators again thunder at the New Deal. So what? So Mr. Roosevelt is playing with the fishes out on the Gulf.

Glad to Get Away He" leaves Washington to those opponents- who believe they can make hay in his absence; to those opponents who are confused or exasperated by his nonchalance and obvious refusal to be worried or scared; to those friends who wag their heads' and complain that things always go from bad to Just by Saying No Congressman Gifford of addressing the House:" "This economy wave how it hurts now! I want to tell you how to make yourselves feel better and look better. Still insist on your own particular desire for expenditures and say 'no' to all the rest. 1 1 will remind you of the girl who, when he said to her, 'Howj did you get that pretty little round mouth? replied, 'Oh, 'that -was by saying "no" to all the other worse when he leaves tcrwfn like this; to those other friends who laugh and say it just demonstrates "en in, ana 1 What Other Editors Thiaik AN OFF-COLOR PRANK One of the hardest things to understand is the kind of mind which is responsible for acts of vandalism like the one recently committed on, Plymouth Rock. This historic memento was daubed with red paint. Under cover of night, someone climbed the five-foot iron grille that surrounds the rock, smeared' paint over the carved numerals, "1620," and daubed some more paint on the electric light which illuminates the stone.

No normal mortal can hope to figure out what inspired deed. The couegiate youth who adorns the campus' bronze statues with nightshirts is at least able to get a chuckle out of his prank; but there isn't a ghost of a laugh In this thing. The only possible explanation is that the job was performed by someone whose mind stopped developing at the age of six. how F. D.

R. has the whip hand and can afford to let the boys squabble while he relaxes and enjoys himself. It may be the worst possiDie stratesrv. but Roosevelt seems to think it the best. Convinced that he has the Supreme Court fight won and can't lose, the President didn't mind getting away from a number of senators who have been beseeching him to accept a compromise.

The President still believes he has most of the people with him and that, not counting a few not very important exceptions, the lineup between himself and his opponents is much the same as it was before the last election. Meanwhile the compromise seekers have nowhere to go. Administration House and Senate leaders are not enjoying the Roosevelt vacation. Congress has almost nothing to do and, at such times, the devil provides work for ten takes the form of crackpot schemes that cost a billion dollars or more. From White House Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F.

McGrady's suggestion that the U. S. Chamber of Com merce not push its demand for a revision of the National Labor Re latlons Act in favor of industry "until we get a little experience with the new dispensation," was to all intents and purposes an an nouncement from the White House What McGrady implied -with Roosevelt's full backing was that the administration had no inten tion now of heeding such demands from industrial groups which had defied and paralyzed the act right up to the time the Supreme Court surprised by uphoading its validity. He reflected, it can 'be said, a White House viewpoint that the chief effect of the Wag- ner-Connery act was to achieve a balance In a situation previously unfairly weighted against labor, and that the act represents no ser ious overbalance now on labor's side. Nickname for Roberts Stealing from automobile advertisements, some of the capital's wisecrackers have applied a nick name to Justice Owen J.

But lead role In "The Good Old Soak" By GEORGE ROSS NEW YORK When "You Can't T'ake It With You" took the Pulitzer drama prize, Authors George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart were luxuriating at the Garden of Allah (an apartment' house) in Hollywood. r.

"What!" they say Mr. Kaulman, an old veteran at PuiUtzer" and other prizes, "Another one!" For they had just received, by airmail, another medal designating their "You Can't It With You" as tie laughlngest play of the season- Knowing Hart, he' did not take the happy news so casually. This happens to be his initiation into the Inner Circle of Pulitzer 'Prize holders and though all the country knows Kaufman, Hart is new to ranking among the Immortals. Yet Hart already has established himself as one of the major playwrights of America; also, as one of the most debonair dramatists ever to turn dialogue to paper. Since he meteorically rose to fame with "Once in a Lifetime," the- legend grew up around him until Edna Ferber, his dear friend, summed it up: "To that casual group loosely termed the World he is the Glamor Boy you see at New York First Nights, done up in London tails and a King Edward carnation; the one who is always circling the globe with Cole Porter, or sunning himself at the edge of Irving Berlin's swim ming pool, or looking out at you from the Palm Springs page of Harper's Bazaar, or sitting at that coveted, corner table at Twenty-One, or spending six months in Holly wood ajt three thousand a week, or who can't be reached by telephone, because he's writing a play with George Kaufman.

"He Is said," Mrs. Ferber went on exposing him, "to have 36 dressing, gowns, seven dogs and mono-grammed shaving papers. He is monogrammed In the most Improbable places. Just as he stands? he is worth his weight in gold bullion gold gallus-buckles, gold belt buckle, gold garters, gold-and-seal billfold. gold pencil, gold gold and plati num cigarette case, gold bottle- stoppers.

They say he buys his toothbrushes c-'-'er's." i Bitten by Povc. ty Mr. Hart wasn always that way. Not by a long shot. There was a time in his life, not too long ago, when his penury prevented him from paying for a small and urgent gold filling.

That was eight years ago when he suddenly announced to his family, then dwelling on the wrong end of Fifth Avenue, that he was moving the entire menage out' to Brooklyn, because he was about to write a play. So the Harts moved across the river and there in the quietude of tbe Flatbush young Moss sat" down" and wrote Oncein a Lifetime," the funniest satire of Hollywood ever presented. He sent it around to Broadway producers and it fell Into the hands of George S. Kaufman, who wanted to go to work on it. Thus began the colla borative firm of Kaufman Hart.

But Hart's desire to sit-down and write a play wasn't merely a sudden impulse as one gets a desire to go out and guzzle a doVle. choco late sundae. He had been leading up to it for years before For seven summers, he earned his bread and butter on" what is popularly known' as the "Borsch Circuit," which consists of those innumerable adult camps in the Catskills and Adirondack. He was, as the official title goes, the Social Director, and his duties kept him awake from 8 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock the next morning staging plays and musical com edies, arranging masquerade parties and athletic contests, lecturing on the contemporary drama, dancing his weary legs off with tireless wall flowers. "Bandit" Robbed of Success Finally he chucked this dismal phase of the show business and de termined to go down to head quarters at Broadway and 42nd Street.

He became Augustus PI tou's stenographer and in his spare time wrote a play called "The Little Bandit" which he submitted under a fake name and was produced by Mr. Pitou. Both the Messrs. Hart and Pitou now prefer to forget the whole thing. His days of penury are respon sible for his almost psycopathic yearning for expensive trifles, clothes and gadgets.

He connaea to your correspondent several weeks ago that his earnings -during the pasjt five years (during which time he wrote "Once In a Lifetime," f'Face the Music," "Merrily We Roll Along," "Jubilee," "As Thousands Cheer" and "You Can't Take It Wtih have been almost a half million dollars and that he's spent almost all of it, some upon himself, the bulk of it upon family, friends and "po'h relations." He Is unable to sit tight. When setting out in a collaboration, he first proposes a rendezvous with his partner, far from Broadway precincts. He prefers to work with George Kaufman in or near Hollywood and when be wrote "Jubilee" with Cole Porter, they circled the globe ih an around-the-world ship. He is, they say, a rolling Moss who has gathered considerable heart. Looking Backward Upon Long Branch is YEARS AGO Horace B.

EVEN IN THE ART OF COOKING "GOOD OLD DAYS" WERE NOT SO HOT The Daily Record is following a custom of years standing1 by providing' its annual cooking school for the pleasure "and instruction of the women of the city, tomorrow, Wednes day, Thursday and Friday. The school has become an institution and its popularity has consistently increased. Under the direction of an able demonstrator and lecturer it affords an example "of the most important item in the technique of good and healthful living. We are more than apt to sigh in memory for the "good old days" of abundance and ease in the home. The modern tempo gets on the nerves even of those who have dedicated themselves to speed in -every activity of life.

The; supposedly -more leisurely and. abuncfant life of the older home gets a rosy color in the minds of those who knew the old order." We think of groaning tables and the great trenchermen of yesteryear. We remember-the surfeit that followed on the -old feast days. We recall Gargantuan meals heavy breakfasts, stout dinners, and filling suppers. We think of the family kitchen through whose steaming vapors and smells the cook managed the range with fire-box stuffed with vxod, from which emerged viands fit for the gods in- endless profusion.

Ah, good old days Yet those same good old days, it must be confessed, were marked by conditions that would not be- tolerated in any modern home. The foods their kitchens produced. would lay the modern on his back. What-they did to many who were not strong enough for the- dietary 2attle can be remembered as well as surmised. Modern cookery, with jfc many aids, is safer "and more healthful than was known imder the administration of the most artful cook of the old daj.

Kitchens are cool, clean, sanitary. Viands are chosen witfi more discretion from a much larger variety afforded by riodern markets. Cooking has become a practical art that catches the imagination and spurs the ambition of the mdem woman. We really live far better and infinitely more safely than we did in the good old The cooking school shows the perfection of this ancient art, in its practice and in the modern appliances by which.it oh. It is a revelation as to how to do the right thing -easily, daintily, cleanly.

It is the prophet and teacher of right method and fascinating product. The schools have been increasingly popular and without doubt of lasting benefit to the community. The current demonstrations-, beginning tomorrow will maintain the high standard of service they have set. A. photograph shows several Oklahoma desperadoes wearing Mother Hubbards.

HOW DOES HE GET THAT WAY in the minds of some, Mr. Boake Carter, the too, too British, commercially-sponsored radio news commentator, to the end of bis. rope Friday night in excoriating the United States of America in the light of what some other country is doing. Usually it's Britain that hasone something to shame us, some- thing Mr.

Carter thinks should awaken us from the Stone Age which we persist to live. But when be lays the. blame for the Hlndenberg disaster on Washington's doorstep, he's going too far. Certainly it's true America has ra natural- monopoly of helium. It's also true that Germany can't buy It, but not for "selfish reasons as Mr.

Carter blathered Friday night. A Vi It's because, as Dr. Hugo Kckner, the 2pp designer, told the Associated Press, Germany has no foreign exchange, is helpless on a basis in any foreign market. Furthermore, Mr. Carter, did anybody force Germany into ths Eeppelin transportation business They fuh weU-the danger of hydrogen gas.

We probably next can expect to be; blamed for the abdication of King Edward, unless Mr. Carter already has. laid that on our front stoop.

But Just how do you get that way, Mr Britisher Carter? And how long before you'll be muzzled? While sitting beside his girt friend, a youth was shot in a Detroit theatre. The motive was hot apparent, as, at the time, he had not been murmuring sweet nothings. WHAT IS LEFT TO CELEBRATE Nazi Uermany is reported to be mdignant because various British and universities have refused to join in the celebration of Goettingen University's bicentenary this June. These of are simply (the universities' protest against the way the Nazi dictatorship; has prostituted, the ancient ideal of free and untrammeled scholarship which is the only kind of scholarship worth a picayune. If a university, of all places, is not allowed truth with-out restriction; if its professors can" be persecuted for their opinion, their race or their religion then that university has simply been withdrawn from the great, International fellowship of scholars.

In four-fifths of the cases seen in most clinics, the parents In childhood had had rheumatic infections associated with' Infections ih the throat, However, there is no certaintv about the effects of heredity. In many cases, the sole evidence of a disturbance of the heart was a heart murmur which the doctor could hear only when he examined the organ, The exact cause of rheumatic fever is not known.

For its cure there is no specific remedy that has been scientifically established. When a rheumatic condition attacks the joints or some other part of the body, there seems, to be no certain way to protect the heart. do know that rheumatic fever occurs much less often in warm climates than in the temperate zone, and that patients do much better in Florida, Puerto Rico, or similar places than they do in the northern part of the United States. However, many cases relapse even under these warm conditions. When the heart is involved in cases of rheumatic fever, there may have been various symptoms for several years before definite signs of the attack on the heart became evident.

No child suspected of having rheumatic fever should ever be al lowed out of bed until his tem perature has been- normal for at least two weeks or more. In rheu-. matic fever the whole heart may be -inflamed, including the peri- cardlum, or membrane which sur rounds the heart; the muscle of the heart, or the lining of the. heart. As these changes take place, there may also be deformities in the heart valves, in which case sign of damage such as are represented by mur- i DIPLOMACY'S PAPER PROFITS American diplomacy in' London seems to have scored a new triumph.

It has succeeded In persuading British officialdom to allow 10 American women, instead of the customary, eight, to be presented to and make their curtsies before King George and Queen Elizabeth at the spring courts. Long negotiations, it Is said, were necessary before this concession could be won. The question of the number of Americans to be presented at the court has been a vexing one for many years one that has furrowed the "brows of American ambassadors for heaven knows how long. it Is a great victory that has been won. We wouldn't know.

But it does seem to us that this country could find more important work for its ambassador than this business of looking out for social climbers. Might not the republic get on just as well if horrid thought! no American women' at all got the inestimable privilege of bowing and scraping to a foreign monarch? In Berlin, Schmelinj says he plans to sit back and let the heavyweight fight situation ripen. Doesn't it already smell a bit over-ripe ity. With an experience In commercial air transport going back several years before the World War, an experience including thousands of miles of passenger flights, a regularly scheduled South Atlantic service of some years -Standing, and not a single passenger fatality or serious accident in the entire record, the Zeppelin Company had brought 'two and a half days to Europe" into the realm of the practical, almost the commonplace. Their great airships had met and overcome innumerable difficulties.

They had conquered Innumerable hazards of one sort another, and after "the Hlndenburg demonstration service of last year, there seemed to remain only one important risk. That was the fire risk, inevitably associated with the hydrogen lifting gas; and It is that one risk which has suddenly enveloped the Hlndenburg in disaster. But it was an avoidable one. In addition to American grief and dismay at the disaster there cannot fail to be regret that non-inflammable helium was not available for the safeguarding of the great experiment. Fortunately, there are many survivors and the loss is by no means what It might have been.

Yet sorrow that this great experiment has met disaster In the moment of success through the one weakness which might have been eliminated, will be keen. Herald-Tribune. HERO SENATOR DESERTS THE SHD? Governor Hoffman Is to be commended for his stand on the High way Fundiiiversion Bill, which was passed by the Legislature last week and which the Governor promptly vetoed. By a mere legal majority the veto was not sustained at the meeting of the Senate Monday night. senator Dawes or warren County, an outspoken opponent of the meas ure from its inception, apparently had been whipped into line by Dem ocratic pressure and, by his vote, made the bill effective.

He bad previously been extolled by his agricultural brethren as a hero standing out against his Democratic colleagues, but he finally deserted them when the real test came. Politics have always been about the same. The interest of the public is usually subservient to personal interest. The legislators haven't the courage to face proper methods for raising relief funds because they would not be popular. For instance.

the sales tax would raise all the money necessary for current relief but the sales tax is not popular. Governor Hoffman has also been a staunch advocate of the sales tax and has therefore become unpopular ui many circles. Automobile owners should con tinue their resentment of the diversion of road funds this State. Up to the present their protests have been of no avail, but thera are many ways in which the autoists can make life miserable for every man who voted for the diversion. Senator; Clee, one of the supporters of the bill, has the gubernatorial bee In hla bonnet, and if he is a candidate this year he should be a marked man.

HIGHER LIVING STANDARDS ON THE FARMS Field surveys conducted by the Electric Water Systems Council indicate that these systems do more than any other single piece of equipment to improve rural living standards.

Since 1933, the farmer has shown an increasing inclination for electric water systems. Where 57,000 rural homes were provided with them last year, 77,000 were installed in 1934. In 1935 and 1936, instaua. tions totaled 108,000 and 157,000 respectively, and it is anticipated that' the present year will see at least 250,000 homes provided ade quately with running water for the first time, by means of electric systems. The installation of a system ob viously marks a long step forward in the improvement or living stand ards on the farm.

But that is not the end of the system's usefulness Usually a water plant is the first electric appliance a farmer pur chases. This leads to a wider understanding of electricity's useful ness both in the farm home and on the farm itself for operating cutters, grinders and other machinery: and for lighting, cooking, re frieeration and many other, house hold tasks. The surveys show that almost three times as many electric ranges and more than twice as many electric refrigerators are in use in homes with electric water systems as in homes without them. And homes with these systems consume 64 per cent more current for household purposes than otner eiec trifled farm homes.

The heart has to pump more blood at each stroke to make up for the blood that flows back into the heart through the damaged valves. I 1 As has already been said, no single germ is known today to be the cause of rheumatic fever. Many physicians are inclined to believe that this condition develops not only from an in vading germ, but also from special sensitivity to the products of the germs, to differences In living condi- tions, or to other factors.

Bad housing; cold, damp surroundings; or damp climates have been considered by many to be an important factor. The disease is somewhat more frequent In girls and in undernourished and neglected children. PAY AS YOU ENTER New York seems to be making another of its periodic efforts to clean up the burlesque stage. A number of theatres have been unable to renew their licenses, and the cleanup wave apparently Is spreading across the country. Some of its opponents have raised the cry of "censorship" and are pleading that this cleanup Is an unwarrantable interference with the freedom of the theatre.

This protest has precious little foundation. Burlesque has long been purveyor of unadulterated, smut. It, is always possible to rule out smut without depriving anyone of an essential liberty. At the same time, another thought does occur to us. No one who objects to the sort of performances that are found in burlesque houses is under any obligation to go to them.
