There was another that Joseph
S. Myers, government concilliator,
had'felted to make any progess to-
ward producing an agreement and
that he had left Houston. '
There were variations of this
theme and many others.

But apparently there was no ba-
sis' for any of these reports. ***
Mr. Myers said no compromise
had been reached at 1 p. m. He
btili was at the Texas State ho-
tel, where iie had been since Sun-
day.
, The outstanding fact at press
time today was that Humble com-

Well, Maine went, unanimously
into the Republican column in its
national election yesterday and
from now on the winners can be
expected to be pointing pretty con-
stantly to the old say, "As Maine
goes so goes the nation.”
And there will be nothing for
the Democrats to do except to lis-
ten to the crowing of their politi-
cal enemies—and to dig m and
work harder to make this one of
the several times when Maind has
Upset the dope by being On the
losing side.
If Hoover Had Been Re-elected
John D. M. Hamilton, chairman of the National Com-
mittee, issued a warning the other day that voters should not be de-
ceived by what he termed the “prosperity mirage” of the New Deal?
“AS a whole,’.' he added, "the Roosevelt New Deal te a failure. It can’t
succeed.” *
Mr. Hamilton does not want the New Deal to succeed. It would be
unorthodox, in his view, to admit that the country was saved by De-
mocrats. But it was, nevertheless. Only the blindly, paftfsan deny to
President Roosevelt credit for having rescued the nation from the
economic disaster that threatened when he took office. Since Mr.
Roosvett’s inauguration the following things have happened:
Unemployment has been reduced 27 per cent.
Steel production has advanced 838 per cent., a
Automobile production has advanced 337 per cent. , ,
Department store sales have advanced 70 per cent, f
Exports have advanced 42 per cent.
Construction has advanced 111 per cent.
Net farm income has advanced Til per cent.
Stock prices have advanced 146 per cent.
Bond prices have advanced 25 per cept.
Bank deposits have advanced 38 per cent.
Y«t, sttch is the blindness of partisanship, that Mr. Hamilton pre-
sumes to say that the Roosevelt New Deal is a “failure.”
One thing is sure. If Herbert Hoover had been re-elected in 1932
and his administration had resulted in the substantial recovery
hrought about by Prsident Roosevelt, the Republican chairman would
not now be describing the achievement as a “failure.” Instead he
\vould be proclaiming proudly that it was ail due to the Republican
“miracle man” in the White House.

What’s What
IN WASHINGTON
By CHARLES P. STEWAOT
We are Vappy feat the play season has opened again. Fortunately
we are where we can see, some stage plays. Would feat verybody
were!
YJe enjoy the movies.
A REVOLT
The stage, however, is not the same. It is changing from make-be-
lieve land to stark realism.
The stage has become a forum of front rank in national affairs.
The “play of protest," the play of social evolution usurps nearly
half of New York’s stages in mid-season.
Shall we objeet? .
No. For this denotes a vital, living nation. I
When a nation has only a cultivated, perfected are on its stages,
it has reached a decadent age.
Plays of protest come only from a living, growing, vibrant nation.
The Btage belongs largely to youth—and youth must speak in vib-
rant term*
Yet, we must say, the best play of youth—one of fee best plays
of all ages—"Romeo and Juliet" is purely story and elemental phi-
losophy. We saw it one exquisitely the other day—in fee movies. Was
there ever another “love” play to equal this?

CHAPTER 48
GAY’S ENGAGEMENT ring
from Ohristteftdtegtt was so beau-
tiful that Gay felt she could never
become accustomed to it; never
quite believe It was her own. A
, flawless, square-cut diamond, So
dazzling in its icy perfection that
It seemed unreal. Her first glimpse
of it left Gay breathless. She had
not known a genuine diamond
could be so large. . ; v
As she told Jean, when she
arrived home from the jeweler’s
after watching Christian select the
stone and the platinum setting, fee
diamond looked to her like some-
thing you’d buy in the ten-cent
store, and wear for a joke!
“It’s much too grand for me,"
she added.
“Don’t be sill” warned Jean.
“Grab all you can, While the grab-
bing's good. He may not be so
darn generous, after you’re mar-
ried. Lota of those rich old birds
make stingy husbands. I’ve heard
things down at toe chib feat’d
make your hair curl!”
“Christian’s not like that,” Gay
defended. “He's so generous, it
triakea me ashamed. He's buying
me the most gorgeous clothes to
wear while we’re engaged, and for
my trousseau. Oh Jean, ten’t It
marvelous! Pinch me, for good-
ness’ sake, so Pfl know Tm not
dreaming all this!”
But it wasn't a dream, and
events moved forward wife steady
momentum, bringing Gay nearer
her wedding day, and the achieve-
ment of her ambitions.
After countless fittings, during
which Gay stood patiently trying
on exquisite lingeries, evening
gowns, negligees, chinchilla and
sable coats, and Christian Sat near-
by, picking out what he thought
most becoming to her fragile
blonde loveliness, fee trousseau
was finally completed.
They Were to be married In De-
troit, early ih November, have *
brief honeymoon in New York,
then sail for Paris. After a few
weeks’ shopping and sight-seeing,
they would go on to the Lido, then
to Egypt and the Orient for the
winter.
Ail these were Christian’s plans.
He cbnftded to Gay feat he’d spent
a great part of fee time during
that fishing trip aboard the “Ran?
fteela” making out their itinerary^
And he showed her, as proof, long
strips Of paper covered with hte
nefct, old-fashioned handwriting,
with sailing dates, train times,
hames of hotels, and estimated
costs down to the tiniest detail.

Civic theaters, or, rather groups that produce their own plays in
their own cities, are gaining. That is a healthy sign.
Time was when this writer belonged to such a group—and helped
produce and helped dirtet and to shift the scenery.
We can’t recall which was the most important. But the thrill of
it still lingers. And the broadening influence of it, the creative in-
