From the Christian Science Monitor:
There is much promise of a service compli-
mentary to the newly revised pure Food and
Drug Act in the action of the American Stand-
ards Association seeking to establish standards
for guiding Jesting laboratories and public en-
dorsement agencies offering "scientific” spon-
sorship of'commercial products. Whereas gov-
ernment regulations now determine what foods,
cosmetics, etc , may not be marketed because
of obvious fraudulent claims, the new criteria
for sponsorship by researchers would extend
the field to all manufactured products and fur-
nish the consumer with, information of a posi-
tive nature.

honest sales practices must be apparent, for

Bradburv has become a real power in the
working knowledge of the business, of, the
house. He knows his way around. He has han-
dled some difficult and intricate matters with
skill and distinction. With very little help and
encouragement from home, he has won his way
to the front rank of legislators and is known
today as one of the steadiest and most capable
members.
The speakership is an office of great respon-
sibility and power, ranking next to that of gov-
ernor in shaping the course of legislation. It
would bring great honor and prestige to Abi-
lene and Taylor county to have their represen-
tative in this position of trust. Those who know
him best believe he would measure up to the
office in every particular.
The home folks can strengthen his candi-
dacy by showing their united support. They
can write members of their acquaintance, seek-
ing support for Bradbury. With a little help
from the homefolks he can be elected He
should have it by all means.__

ford’s face: his eyes began to glow.
"Well, now!” he said with heavy
pleasantry. "That's sure too bad-
poor fella" He shot a gloating
look at Ankrom; tensed. Slowly
his grin took on a sickly look and
faded. The hand holding his pis-
tol drooped.
Ankrom s gun was in his hand,
held rigid at his thigh. How it had
gotten there Ratchford could not
have told but there it most cer-
tainly was. Its muzzle covering the
third button of the sheriff’s vest.
The alertness of his glance never
strayed from the sheriff’s mottled
features.

TAKE HIS MIND OFF HIMSELF
To provide enough playthings for
the young child to divert attention
is a help in its way; also to keep
him very busy and interested.
These are panaceas in general for
any. poor habit.
I have found that in most cases,
children forsake their fipgers when
life begins to get persohally excit-
ing. This means any time between
two and four years of age. Bed time
and nap time may still find the
comforting thumb in its place, how-
ever, no matter, how busy or forget-
ful its small owner at other hours.
Dentists are divided in their ver-
dicts about the effect at constant
sucking on mouth and teeth, but it
is an unattractive performance re-
gardless of results. It really should
be discouraged. I would not shame
a child, but use intelligent resource-
fulness as far as it will go. If the
habit continues into school years,
it is unusual. In such a case I ad-

Renomination of Congressman Howard W
Smith by his North Virginia constituency was
a personal triumph or a slap at the New Deal,
according to the viewpoint His victory margin
was impressive, three votes to one for W,.liam
E. Dodd Jr. whose father was the New Deal I
ambassador to Germany until his anti-Nazi
outspokenness pot him in Dutch with Deutsch-
land.
New Dealers can hardly argue that Smith's
re-nomination wasn’t a fair-and-square test of
New Deal sentiment. He had opposed the
Roosevelt program in several particulars,
whereas Dodd promised unvarying support if
nominated. Jim Farley and Harranguing Har-
old Iekes both put in their ten cents' worth
during the campaign in behalf of Dodd. He
bore the blessing and best wishes of the New
Deal, all right enough : and he got snowed
under. ,
Success of another Northern Virginia con-
gressman who had opposed the New Deal in
some particulars, and the re-nomination of Ben-
Bett Champ Clark in Missouri were of less sig-
nificance than the Smith victory. Clark, son
of Champ Clark, refused to follow FDR in sev-
eral important particulars, but he was too
strongly entrenched in the affections of Mis-
souri democrats for the New Dealers to risk
an out-and-out campaign against him. Clark'■
status as a possible 1940 presidential aspirant
has been increased by his latest victory. For a
time at least he ia likely to be considered the
No 1 aspirant.
