Mrs. Norman Gall, Widow Of
JeweIf, To Be Bride.
EXECUTIVES DAUGHTER fAyORS MATCH
Brief Announcement Of Engagement
Is Formally Given to Public by
Chiefs Private Secretary.

Washington, D. Woodrow Will
son, the President of the United
States, announced Thursday his en-
gagement to Mrs. Norman Gait, Of
Washington. The date of the wedding
has not been fixed, but it probably will
take place in December at the home of
the bride-elect.
The brief announcement from the
White House made by Secretary Tu-
multy came as surprise to official
Washington, but to several intimate
friends 1t has long been expected.
From this circle came the story Of a
friendship whose elimination was
viewed as happy turn in the troubled
and lonely life Of the nations chief
executive.
1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew
Mrs. Gait into the White House. They
met her first in the early autumn of
last year and were SO much attracted
by her that, they sought her out more
and more frequently and the friendship
between them ripened into an affction-
ate intimacy.
Mrs. Gait spent a month this sum-
mer at Cornish. as the house guest Of
the Presidents eldest daughter. 1t
was through this intimacy Of his
daughter and cousin that the President
had an opportunity to meet and know
Mrs. Gait. One Of the most interest
ing facts about the engagement, in
deed, as told by friends, is that the
Presidents daughters should have
chosen Mrs. Gait for their admiration
and friendship before their father did.
Mrs. Gait is the widow of a widely
known business man Of Washington,
who died about eight years ago, leav-
ing jewelry business that still bears
his name. She has lived in Washing
ton since her marriage in1S96. She
is about 38 years old and was Miss
Edith Boiling, born IN Wytheville,
Va, where her girlhood was spent and
where her father, William H. Boiling,
was prominent lawyer. issA
For many weeks Mrs. Gait and her
relatives have been frequent dinner
guests at the White House. Often she
has accompanied the President on
motor rides. She is not quite as tall
as Mr. Wilson has dark hair and dark

East Again Buying Wheat.

Portland-A stronger wheat market
in the East has increased the demand
In the Northwest for grain for Eastern
and buyers from that quar-
ter who had been talking of reselling
their purchases accordingly elevated
their views. The cash market in Chi
cago was from Z to IL cents above the
December option. It Is figured that
400 carloads Of wheat have been
bought to date to go East, and the
local trade looks for a continuance of
the movement. Country business has
again decreased, as the Chicago ad-
vance has made farmers firmer.
Bids at the Merchants Exchange
were generally on a higher basis.
Offers for club were raised to IL
cents and red wheat bids were to
cents higher. There was 4-cent ad-
vance in offers for November forty
fold and 2t cents for the October de-
livery. Spot bluestem was unchanged,
but November was raised cents.
For the first time in weeks there
were bids for brewing barley at the
Exchange. Offers were made to buy
500-ton lots at $27, but sellers would
not consider this price. Feed barley
was so cents higher at $3.50. The
oats market was also firmer, with bids
raised so cents, the strength being due
to the advance in barley.
Bradstreets reports the visible wheat
increase this week at ID, 000, 900 BUSH
els, the corn increase at 1,405, 900
bushels, and the oats increase at L.
453, 900 bushels.

DOES CAT THINK WITH FEET7
Ability Always to Land on Them
Seems to Point to Natural
Conclusions.

There is nothing especially striking
about the feet of a cat except its abil-
ity always to land on them. Hold a
young cat by Its feet a short distance
from the ground for few seconds and
then let 60. The cats back, being
heavier than its feet, should strike the
ground first. But 1t doesn't. Just as
the cat is being let go 1t gives quick
upward thrust with its chest and as
its feet are freed they swing under
1t so 1t lands on them.
In the case of the young cat that
has never experienced this before. 1t

a cat does it without anybody evSe

News pIeaslno to carranza.

Vera Cruz.-General Carranza re-
ceived with great pleasure the news
that the Pan-American conference at
Washington had decided to recognize
him as the defacto government in
Mexico, although he pointed out that
he had received no official notice to
this effect. He will not alter his plans
for q trip through the northern states.
In response to questions General
Carranza said:
when peace absolutely is restored
and tranquility really established
throughout the country, amnesty will
be granted to all these persons, but
not now. To permit them to return at
this time would be to endure their ma
chinations within the republic.
"The immediate effect Of this news
will be a great moral strengthening Of
the cause Of constitutionalism and a
corresponding disheartening of oppos-
ing factions. There will be no more
formal battles. Fighting Of that sort
already has ended, but naturally the
struggle to put down minor outbreaks
and lawlessness must be continued for
a greater or less time In country
such as this, where there are exten-
sive open areas"
