little difference what the president
might decide to do for the figures in

passed over his veto. There is a big
difference between the numbers So
and Is" But on second thought. the
overriding of a presidential veto ap-
peared a more difficult thing than il
seemed at first. If all the senators
should be present and vote it would
require sixty votes to overcome the
veto There were eighteen senator's
who did not vote on Tuesday who
might vote on a question of overriding
a veto and out of that eighteen it might
be supposed that seven could be OBJ

for the Flood resolution.
But it is manifestIy unsafe to make

resolution over the veto A more rea-
sonable basis for the conjecture is the
vote by which the Nelson amendment
was defeated. 20 To 43, but it is doubt
full if all the senators who voted
against the Nelson amendment would
record themselves against the presi-
dent. But if they should do so 1t would
be necessary for the supporters of the

eighteen voted available IN order TO ac-
complish the defeat Of the White House
a task which at this distance seems
impossible.

That was because he was a natural

ABILITY OF WOMEN
! TO KEEP A SECRET
John Talcott Married In
q, June, And Wife's Chums
Never Told.

John J. Talcott, of 1889 e street SOUTH
east, formerly a first lieutenant in the
United States Revenue Service, said to-
day he has shattered the ancient ira
.dition that women can't keep secrets.
Talcott and Miss Nellie Richie Pain,
daughter Of Ira w. Pain, Of 500 Ninth
street southeast, were married In Alex
andria eleven weeks ago, and until yes
terday no one save two girl friends of
the bride knew of the ceremony.
Don't tell me women can't keep
things quiet" said Talcott. Nellie and
1 just slipped down TO Alexandria ON
June 8, and while we were there We de-
cided to get married and have It over
with.
"She called up two of her friends in
Alexandria, Miss Dorsey Ashton and
Miss Ethel c. Slower, and told 'em to
meet us around at the church. They
were the only ones save the Clergyman,
the Rev. P. F. Phillips, of st. Paurs
Church, who knew about the marriage
And for six weeks neither OF them has
as much as whispered a word about IL
even to their families"
Mr. and Mrs. Talcott are living at the
Pain residence at present, though they
will start housekeeping next week, now
that the wedding news IS out They
have received parental blessings OH
both sides, and Talcott is going into
business here. He Is son of Mrs. Lor-
eta F. Talcott.
