That and nothing more, But it
du not still the murmur of specu-
lation which ran through the ar-
riving delegations, or the question-
ings' of what the developments of
the past three days might mean in
the campaign ahead.
A week ago party leaders were
talking only of a. great harmony
meeting at Philadelphia. They knew
that Smith and others were out of
tune with the Roosevelt regime, but
they predicted freely that nothing
much would come of that. Now, on
convention eve, the Roosevelt ticket
faces both the new Lemke-Cough-
lin-Townsend Union Party on the
left, and on the right the open re-
volt of Smith and the others who
have joined with him.
Picture is Changed.
That has changed the convention
picture greatly so far as lobby
speculation and talk of the future
is concerned. There is no sign it
has changed the intentions of the
delegates. On every side the pre-
diction holds that the convention
opening Tuesday in Philadelphia’s

bidding on WPA projects Sunday
was in the hands of the justice de-
partment, referred there by Presi-

The commission said the steel
companies admitted they quoted
identical delivered prices for sheet

they were acting pursuant to a res-
olution of the industry continuing

visions of the former NRA steel
code.

San Antonio, Texas, June 20.—
District Judge S. B. Carr of Flores-

Johnson, who disqualified himself,
Friday denied mandamus asked by
the Rev. James O. Rail, congres-
sional candidate, to force the Bex-
ar county democratic executive
committee to place his name on the
primary ballot for a $1 fee.
The decision upheld the commit-
tee’s assessment of $1,125 against
each candidate for. congress. Con-
gressman Maury Maverick, who
joined Rail in the suit, said he
would pay under protest. He had
quoted the attorney general as
saying only $1 filing fee was re-
quired. j
R. S. Menefee, another candidate, j
paid the assessment. Lamar Seelig-
son said he would, declaring he
thought it equitable considering
amounts assessed other candidates
and adding he did not wish to

Other major accidental causes of death were 'listed:
Public accidents, including drownings, burns, falls,
heat prostration death by freezing, railroad, firearms and
poisoning, cost 18,000 lives, permanently disabled 60,000
persons and temporarily disabled 2,100,000.
Farm Perilous, Too
Occupational accidents cost 16,500 lives, 63,000 per-
manent disabled and injuries to 1,340,000.
In the occupational group, work on or connected with
the farm caused more fatalities than any other classifica-
tion of employment with a 4,400 total.
The general total was a slightly less than the coun-
cil’s aggregate for 1934—101,139—and represented in its
accident frequency rate (based on disabling injuries per
,000,000 man-hours of exposure) a 61 per cent reduction
from the figures of 1926, the council said.
If some sort of low cost housing plan under govern-
ment sponsorship is not launched by the present Congress
the gigantic task of slum clearance, one of the New Deal’s
principal social reform undertakings, will suffer a severe
. setback. •
This is a matter beyond the pale of partisan politics.
Slums -and tumble-down shacks unfit for human habita-
tion are a blot upon our proud American civiliztioan. If
ever the time was propitious for placing decent housing
within reach of the low salaried worker that time is now.
Aside from the social benefits of a low: cost housing pro-
gram, the employment stimulus: would 3 prove of 'incal-
culable value at this time, when recovery’s tempo is quick
ening. . ■ ’ /
Much legislation will die on the calendar during the
closing days of the present Congressional session. Let us
hope that low cost housing legislation will escape that

the husband passed on first without her knowing it. This
tribute is republished not only because it is a beautiful
one, but because it is one that applies to so' many other
women who pass unnoticed. It is an inspiration, or should
be, to every obscure wife and mother who are never
known outside their little group of freinds within a cir-
cumscribed area. After all, it is not how one dies but how
one lives that determines one’s worth and destiny.
She never knew that her husband had died before her. I
But to her he was alive for evermore. Watching and wait-
ing at the head of her bed. (And where else coued he be?)
He doubtless whispered’ to her of joys and beauties that
never eyes had seen, nor ears had heard, nor even had en-
tered into the hearts of men. And thus on May 9th, 1936.
she entered with her beloved “The Haven of Rest.”
She was rather timid and shy in her ways and deal-
ings with others, and yet in back of all that her heart
was filled and overflowing with love toward ail. I have
never heard an unkind, word from her. “For the grace of
her lips the King shall be her friend.”
Her soul found a continued feast in God’s beautiful i
things. Fowers would speak to her and their message
would at times bring tears of joy to her eyes. A sweet ex-
pression, a bit of lovely poetry, would cause her to call
husband and daughter to share with her these beautiful
things.

LOW COST HOUSING
THE building boom sweeping the country under the
stimulus of the Federal Housing Act means little to the
millions of American families huddled in tumble-down
tenements of the Nation’s crowded slums.
The home financing facilities made available through
FHA have brought relief to the families with incomes of
$2000 or more per year and hundreds of thousands of
The truth of God, in nature, in revelation, was for
her the perfection of beauty. She would fold her hands,
bow her head, while listening to God’s sweet promises, to
words of prayer, and in between I heard her say: “How
beautiful, how beautiful.”.
Her life was a success. She has given to the world a
noble daughter. For herself she had chosen the abiding
the .immortal things, love, beauty, and truth. And these
turned this world into a little heaven for her and others
to go to heaven in. And thus she made “out of life and
death and the vast forever, one grand sweet song.”
This friend is right. Such a life is a success, no mat-
ter if it is spent in obscurity, or in poverty or wealth, in
sickness or in health. This woman had found the secret
of happiness and success, as every other woman may find
if she seeks it aright as this woman did.
