Daughters of wealth seem to be in a rather unfortun-
ate position. If they keep to the accepted round of cock-
tail hours, golf, and night clubs, they are apt to be referred
to contemptuously by less fortunate people as idle rich.
And yet, if they decide to go to work, There is very likely
to arise a tempest of objections.
Hollywood extra girls, according to a news item, are
indignant because debs are obtaining roles which they be-
lieve should go to them. “Why should rich girls who do
not need the money take the bread out of our mouths?”
asked one of their spokesmen.
A similar storm of criticism has greeted wealthy girls
who have gone in for modeling.
There is, of course, something to be said for both sides
in the controversy, There is no reason why society girls
cannot abandon a parasitical way of living and take a
fling at self-dependence—and yet it does not seem entirely
fair to the “poor working girl.”
All in all, it appears to be a difficult problem.
“Grace believes you should know every word that is said
on both sides, qf you haven't apy voting.”
The traffic problem in Henderson has been a moot
question for several years and as each of these years has
passed into history there has been left a record that is none
too good in accidents that have taken their toll not only
in property loss but also in human suffering from injuries.
While there has been no deaths in the city directly at-
tributable to traffic within the past several months there
are several traffic traps that it is hard to imagine how
they, with the wild driving for which the town is notorious,
have escaped.
Recently the Kiwanis club membership as the first or-
ganization in the city to protest to the city council called
a meeting of the citizenship to be held at the chamber of
commerce rooms this evening at 7:45 o’clock. The pur-
pose of the meeting is stated to be to bring to the atten-
tion of the city council the necessity of installing sema-
phore signal lights at some of the most dangerous places in
the city in order to govern traffic.
The Daily News while interested only from the side-
lines believes that something should be done—some means
should be found to control some of the situations, as it is
our belief that such conditions cannot go on forever with-
out some of the more serious side of the question cropping
out.
At the meeting this evening a free discussion of the
ailments of the traffic situation will be had and the citi-
zenship is invited to be present and give their opinions.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20—In the face ( dentlal figurings among Repub-
of a growing beliet among pol- ■ • • • ■ • — ■
ittons and studenU of politics
that Roosevelt has an edge in
the presidential contest, Gov. Alf
Landon and the Republicans have
set out to prove that an election
can be won in the last month of
a campaign.
Landon himself, according to
those who have been with him
dally since his nomination, Is
more confident of victory than
at any previous time. At one
period, they say, he felt there
wasn't much hope.
Although most of the political
writers who are darting around
the country with the candidates
or on tours of their own are bet-
ting on Rossevelt at the moment,
Republican leaders, though vary-
ing widely in the degree of their
expectations, continue hopeful.
Lopping off the extremes of
optimism and despondency, the
most common rAiark the boys
make when they take their hair
down is:
“We’ve got a good chance!”
Enough of tlie polltcal map has
jelled to enable the Republican
high command to boil the sit-
uation down to one nutshell for-
mula. Here it is:
Landon must carry New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Mich-
igan, and New Jersey if he is to
be elected. If he loses a single
State among the first five—the
"Big Five"—he is sunk. He
might win them all and still lose
the election, but no such thing
has ever happened.
If you care to take out your
pencil and play the game which
everyone, down to the youngest
office boy, at major party head-
quarters is now playing, you can
have herewith the latest confi-
Recent news from Europe may be both confusing and
ominous, but it does seem to prove once more that it is
the autocracy and not the democracy which is a menace
to world peace.
The reason is simple. An autocracy can get very
hard-boiled in an international crisis without stopping to
find out how the man on the street corner feels about it.
A democracy cannot.
The democracy looks for a peaceable way to settle
things; the autocracy lays its chips on the lipe and invites
anyone who thinks it is bluffing to call the bet.
The Spanish rebellion offers an instructive example.
The two principle democracies of Europe, England and
France, have worked desperately from the start to keep
the trouble from spreading. Obviously, they do not want
to go to war—for the excellent reason that their states-
men know perfectly well the ordinary Englishman and
the ordinary Frenchman wouldn’t stand for it.
So the English and the French devised a non-inter-
ference pact and went around Europe coaxing everyone to
sign it.
Now look at the record of the dictatorships. The Ita-
lians gave a contemptuout lip service to the agreement and
sent a flock of military airplanes to the Spanish rebels.
The Germans sent a naval squadron to Spanish waters,
acted very tough with it, and circulated the impression
that they were ready to move up horse, foot, and guns if
anyone didn’t like it.
Then the Russian dictatorship followed suit, denounc-
ing the Germans and the Italians in a way that has led
Europe much closer to the edge of war than most people
like to think about.
All of which creates one more tense situation which
the statesmen from London and Paris are trying frantical-
ly to ease.
The thing to bear in mind is that all the warlike moves
have come from the dictatorships, and all the peaceful
moves from the democracies.
The dictators are perfectly willing to skate right up
to the edge of the precipice—up to a point where the small-
est “incident” could send them and the rest of Europe ov-
er the brink.
The democracies are doing their level best to stay as
far away from the precipice as the law allows.
Now the ordinary German, the ordinary Italian, and
the ordinary Russian may not feel any more like going out
and getting shot on some foreign battlefield than do the
ordinary Englishman and the ordinary Frenchman, who
don’t feel like it at all.
But the point is that what the German, the Italian,
and the Russian feel like is of no importance. They have
to do as they are told and like it.
It is only in the democracies that the citizen’s abhor-
rence of war is something that need to be taken into ac-
count.
Nearly 20 years ago we were advised that we must
make the world safe for democracy. The advice is still
sound. A dictatorship is a standing menace to world
peace.

New England Held Sure
New England, they are sure,
will throw the 41 electorial votes
of her six States to Landon.
Add that to a possible 47 from
,New York, 36 from Pennsylvania,
29 from Illinois, 26 from Ohio, 19
from Michigan, 16 from New Jer-
sey, and 14 from Indiana. The
total is 228. A majority in the
electorial college, requisite for
victory, is 226.
Republicans say they are sure
of Kansas and Wyoming—nine
which makes 240.
Then there are some “good
chance" State — Minnesota 11.
Iowa 11, Nebraska 7, ColoradoB,
South Dakota 4, and Delaware 3,
which would bring the Landon
total to 282.
The only other states which the
they consider as possiblities are
West Virginia 8, North Dakato 4,
and Idaho 4. But in current com-
putations, these States are being
left out of the theoretical G. O. P.
column.
Need New Jersey
It would be possible to lose In-
diana and still win the election
for Landon, since Indiana has but
14 electorial votes. The flgurers
can see how, mathematically, they
migh lose New Jersey and still
nose out ahead—but it takes no
sixth sense to tell them that loss
of New Jersey could be little else
than Indicative of a strong na-
tional trend to Roosevelt.
The obvious deduction is that

Napoleon Lemieux, of Tampa,
Fla., is touring the Hawaiian Isl-

since then has covered virtually

these and one or two contiguous
States with the idea of finding out
just that.
It will be observed that Repub-
lican leaders privately concede to
Roosevelt the “Solid South,"
everything on the Pacific coast,
the States of Maryland, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, .Wisconsin,
Arizonla, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Utah, Nevada and Montana.
That’s a theoretical Roosevelt
nest egg of 233 electorial votes and
might be taken as an indication
that the president is far closer to
victory than his opponent, who
must carry nearly all doubtful
states to win.
Big States May Swing Back
Until 1932 fat least, the "Big
Five" States' always were con-
sidered “normally Republican."
There appears to be a trend back
to the Republican this year and
it may take all these States back
into the G. O. P. fold.
Pennsylvania was the only one
which cast her vote against Roose-
velt In 1932 and she has since
elected a Democratic governor
and a Democratic senator. Pre-
viously, all five went consistently
Republican except in 1912, year
of the Bull Moose split, and In
1916, when Ohio went to Wilson
Instead of Hughes—an essential
factor in Wilson’s election.
Large elements of guesswork
enter into any attempt to decide
how the. nation would vote at va-
rious periods of the campaign if
the election were to be held forth-
with.
But it usually is accepted that
the result has on two or three oc-
casions been chonged by devel-
opments or new trends in the last
month pr two, eve nthough de-
cisive last-minute trends are
often pure Imagination in the
minds of party leaders who are
destined to lose.
Lincoln Expected Defeat
Abraham Lincoln believed at
one point in the 1864 campaign
that he would be defeated by Gen-
eral McClellan. Many historians
believe that it was only a suc-
cession of Union victories under
General Sherman and others which
turned the tide in his favor.
It also is likely tjiat William
Jennings Bryan could have been
elected over McKinley in Septem-
ber, 1896. But millions of Republi-
can dollars and a vast propaganda
campaign won that fight —two
factors whose Importance should
not be forgotten in the present
campaign.
The first months of the 1916
campaign found Hughes a heavy
favorite over Wilson, but Wilson’s
campaigning, the "keep us out of
war” slogan, and Hughes’ snub
of Hiram Johnson in California
elected the Democratic ticket by’
a narrow majority.
Incidents may be as important
*
as late trends. This campaign
might yet produce something
equivalent to the "Rum, Roman-
ism, and Rebellion” incident whlclt
elected Cleveland over Blaine.

For headaches due to eye dis-
turbances, certain preventive and
relaxing measures are useful.
Sometimes relief is obtained by
keeping the eyes closer to the
reading material or to the work.
In suck cases, properly fitted
glasses are of great benefit. .
Some people get the habit of
squeezing their eyelids together
blinking, and squinting. This
brings tension on the muscles of
the face and a pull on the mus-
cles at the back ot the head, and
the result is likely to be pain in
the back of the head.
Sometimes relief from head-
ache associated with eyestrain
may be had by stopping work and
looking off into the distance for
a while, after which one is able
again comfortably to focus the
eyes on the worR.
Such cases indicate that the
eye may need some help and a
visit should be made to a person
capable of determining the phy-
sical condition of the eye and
of deciding whether
should be prescribed.
Sometimes headache from eye-
strain is a reflex headache as-
sociated with symptoms elsewhere
in the body. In such cases the pa-
tient may also be nauseated, fa-
tigued, and easily irritated. Cer-
tainly it is not wise in such cases
to relieve the headache by using
sedative or narcotic drugs. These
drugs merely mask the symptoms
without giving anything resem-
bling permanent relief.
Another type of headache is
that; associated with insufficien-
cies ' of the blood, or anemia. A
suitable examination of the blood
will--indicate whether there is a
sufficient number of red blood
cells or a sufficient amount of
red coloring matter in the blood.
IT a deficiency is found, treat-
ment will help rebuild the blood
to a more nearly normal state.
Head pains of any kind are, of
course, regularly associated with
changes in tissues of the brain
and those that surround the
brain.
Infections or inflammations such
as meningitis and encephalitis are
regularly associated with severe
headaches. Accumulation of
fluid in the brain, in various dis-
orders, may first manifest itself
by pain, and later, as pressure
continues, by convulsions or un-
consciousness.
When the blood is deficient in
number of red blood cells, or
