WORCESTER, Mass. (UP)—
Mrs. Elsie Swanson, seeking a
divorce, complained that her hus-
band was a "cave man.’’
She told the Judge that to
show his "brute strength” he once
tore out the bathroom plumbing.
He ate raw meat, too, said she.
The divorce was granted.

that he gets what he wants.
Roosevelt fooled himself in the
court fight, however, when he sat
back to wait for his opponents
"to hear from the country.'
8. The administration will not
help any anti-court member in
next year’s primaries and may
go through with present plans to
knife such members. Farley de-
nied this in his Indianapolis
speech to Young Democrats, hut
Senator Guffey’s speech, in favor
of knifing, which brought him
such a terrific lacing from Sena-
tors Wheeler, Burke, O’Mahoney,
Holt, and others, was secretly ap-
plauded by most New Dealers.
As long as Roosevelt thinks
along these lines, only one pre-
tense of a prediction is possible:
Nobody knows where it all will
end.
Mexico Keeps Busy
Without Revolutions
More and more people are becoming interested
in the economic struggle that is going on with a sur-
prising lack of audible fireworks in the sister Repub-
lic across the Rio Grande.
A year ago learned observers visited Mexico by
the dozens and returned with the word that it was
only a matter of time until the land of manana
would become another Spanish battlefield, another
testing ground for communism.
That hasn’t happened because Mexico seems
able to get all the excitement it wants these days
from labor troubles, agrarian divisions and exprop-
riation experiments. President Cardenas apparently
has kept peace among his people by the simple
scheme of making peace more exciting and unpre-
dictable than war.
LYNN, Mass. (UP). — Some
1,400 Lynn school children have
registered their bicycles with the
police department’s traffic bur-
eau as a safety measure — be-
lieved the first New England city
to have such a movement.
Each cyclist wrote out a de-
scription of his bicycle, including
the condition of lights and sig-
nal devices.
When a bicycle passes examina-
tion, the owner is given a "bi-
cycle permit,” which he carries
with him whenever he rides. An
aluminum non-rust license plate
also is issued at 25 cents cost.
The department gives each reg-
istrant a printed book of safety
rules.
I
The expropriation measure, which allowed the
Government to step in and take over industry as well
as agriculture without notice, has been used more as
a threat than as a weapon. It has been said that the
Government wouldn’t dare step in and take over tech-
nical industries, such as oil and mining, because it
has not available the trained technicians necessary to
operate those industries successfully.
That may b true, but the law has certainly re-
sulted in some extraordinary labor situations—such
as oil workers striking and demanding, among other
things, a two-month paid vacation for every work-
man with rail transportation for himself and his
family to any destination in the world and back.
President Cardenas seems to have provided a
system that beats the old order, for Mexico—when
the peon grabbed a gun and galloped off the battle
every time someone with a silver-trimmed sombrero
yelled "Viva la libertad."

Deferred Payments
Stories from England indicate that in the kind-
hearted receiving of thousands of Basque refugee
children driven from their homes by the Spanish
War, the British have acquired a set of problem chil-
dren.
A group of the boys established in a camp in
i Wales, have more or less terrified the peaceful com-
munity by smashing windows, throwing knives, and
fighting police. Welsh public opinion in the neigh-
borhood resents their turbulence, wants them thrash-
ed, is just a little afraid of them.
f Poor kids! Straight from a land where"they
Wrheve seen fathers and brothers slitting each other’s
8 throats, mothers carrying rifles instead of brooms,
and homes and friends all smashed down together in
a bloody welter of gunfire, it is no wonder they are
9 strange, and turbulent, and wild. Living their child-
hood under a “one life, one kopeck” regime, what
could they care for a few broken windows, what
K could they know of the ordinary ways of orderly so-
ciety ?
After the immediate debts of war are paid in
killed, wounded, maimed men and women, and in de-
and devastation, comes the bill for the de-
- ferred payments—in the form of warped and scarred

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. — The
almost complete defeat of the
Roosevelt program in the recent
session of Congress still puzzles
most of those who predicted con-
fidently after the last election
that the President would have an
entirely free hand.
Nearly every home-going mem-
ber had from one to a dozen ex-
planations. The most common
one was that the President had
made a larger grab for power
than the country would tolerate
and that he chose the method of
court reform which was certain
to arouse the most bitterness and
antagonism in and out of Con-
gress. Defeat on this proposal
led to defeat on nearly every
other important measure Roose-
velt planned.
On the other hand, there is a
whispered opinion general among
men who helped Roosevelt in the
court fight which disregards such
.considerations and attributes the
court defeat and subsequent
debacle to Roosevelt's own per-
sonal errors of judgment. This
consensus, if accepted, leads inevi-
tably to the copeusion that Roose-
Veit in the past has been over-
rated as a master politician and
that his own ovferconfidence has

Therefore, success in life depends chiefly upon
whether one just COASTS or TACKS AGAINST
that 60%.
Admittedly the agrarian experiment has not
worked out even remotely to the extent so fondly
hoped for. ' The plan to take the land from rich
haciendados and give it to the peons found most of,
the peons unfit to care for their new possessions.
They had no seed, no tools and no money to buy any
of these things, and they were exploited by politi-
cians.
But this did not keep President Cardenas and
has socialistic regime, from confiscating more plan-
tations and cultivated ranch land and dividing it
among the poor classes. Theoretically the land was
paid for in agrarian bonds. Actually most of the
bonds have never been redeemed, often were never
even issued.
But all this experimenting does not keep things
moving in Mexico. Admittedly, many of the laws un-
der Mexico’s labor constitution were passed as ex-
periments and then abandoned. The Mexican Gov-
ernment saw nothing more unusual in that than in
the United States, for instance, taking the NRA out
for a trial run. There have been a few attempts to
better the Mexican agrarian plan and make it work-
able. Presumably there will be more.
na. Any patron of the photoplays
is aware of the name of Con-
stance Cummings. What has be-
come of her? She, too, has for-
saken the canned entertainment
world for the flesh and blood
stage and in a “Madame Bovarv”
which her husband, Benn W.
eyy, dramatized for her, she
will be here this season.
Did we neglect to mention
Joan Bennett? Tender the lady
our apologies. For this flaxen-
haired and comely daughter of
Richard Bennet came to New
Yprk this summer to confer
about her stage plans. She has
some, though they are vague at ।
the moment.
Nor does this complete the 1
rollcall of those thespians of the
talkies who wish to migrate to
Manhattan for stage careers.
Alice Brady is coming back and
so is Katherine Alexander. Ies-
lie Howard has arrived. Long dis-
tance negotiations now are being
carried on between an important
manager and Mary Boland. Billie
Burke has said she would be will-
ing to return in a play called I
"Beauty,” Frederic March is, in
communication with the stage mo-
guls and if he returns to Broad-
way, so will his wife, Florence
Eldredge.
So if Broadway seems unim-
pressed by the approach of stars
of famed brilliance, the reason
is obvious; the supply almost ex-
ceeds the demand.

Dogs First, Beer Second
HAMILTON, Ont. (UP) —
Citizens here paid the city $2,000
more last year for the privilege '
of keeping dogs than for the right '
to drink beer in licensed be- ,
verage rooms, a comparison of
fees reveals. The dog tax brought
814,390 to the city treasury and
beverage room licenses totaled
only $12,390.

tated the type of wage-hour law
he wanted. Instead, Roosevelt de-
cided to make his big fight on
court reform.
2. Only one or two of the Presi-
dent's advisers favored the court-
packing plan before it was launch-
ed. Sheer self-confidence plus
Roosevelt's love for bold ges-
ture in attack, along with a desire
for immediate results, led the
President to choose the packing
plan.
3. With the court fight on in
full fury, Roosevelt engaged in it
only nonchalantly. He was so sure
of himself, so sure that his pres-
tige would carry the bill, that he
never really got behind it. When
he went breezily off to Texas for
a Vacation he left no organized
leadership of his cause behind him
and the battle on his side lost
momentum while the other side
made progress.
4. Roosevelt underestimated pop-
ular faith in the Supreme Court
as one of the established institu-
tions of government.
The fact appears to stand out
that Roosevelt’s nonchalant self
assurance led to the great mess
which was the first session of the
75th Congress. His friends hope
he has learned a lesson and his
enemies hope he hasn’t.
Three factors may have some
bearing on this point:
1. The court fight, according to
administration plans, will continue
in one form or another.
2. Roosevelt still believes he
has the support of the "masses of
the people,” and calls his "man-
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.- That
seasonal lament—that Holly-
wood is taking. all the talent
away from New"York—was nev-
er in such disrepute as it has
fallen into this year.
Those of us who keep track
of the transcontinental trains
and planes are mostly impressed
by the large exodus from the
capital of the cinema. For it
seems that every celluloid star
this year would like to come to
Broadway and appear here in the
flesh — properly clothed, -of
course.
That urge to emote without
benefit of camera came to the
surface this summer when, with-
in three weeks of the arrival of
each other, Jean Muir, Frances
Farmer, Henry Fonda and Dor-
othy McKaill turned up to woo
the dramatic muse at the summer
wrkshops. And now it looks as
though all four intend to stay
here, not permanently, but at
least until they perform one
play this winter.
Miss Muir acquitted herself
well enough in a couple of per-
sonal appearances for several Ri-
alto producers to have become
interested; Henry Fonda already
is commitied to a play on Times
Square; so are the Misses Mac-
.kalll and Farmer; one in a slow
about the American Revolustion,
the other in a show about a
prizefighter.
West Comes East .
To this eminent quartette, add
a’ dozen more Hollywood fa-
vorites, and Broadway will be-
come virtually a branch of Sun-
set Boulevard. Not the least of
the glamor girls who is coming
eastward is Katharine Hepburn,
who started her star career, if
memory serves freshly, on West
45th Street. She may well re-
appear on West 45th Street this
season in the Theater Guild’s
bang-up dramatization of “Jane
