NQUISITIVE MAN.

my husband has more curiosity
than any other man in this town, .
remarked the woman in the sand
colored suit. There isn't a thing
that gets past him without being
fully investigated. l got a vacuum
cleaner for some coupons that | had
been saving and he didn't rest min
ute until he had taken it apart to
see what the vacuum looked like.
After he had spread all the parts on
the floor looking for the vacuum, he
couldn't for the longest time put the
apparatus together again. And after
it was assembled to look something
like the original, he had handful
of little screws and wheels that
couldn't be fitted into place. He had
promised to take me in our machine
to my card club, but | had to forego
the card club entirely. l stayed home
in the vain hope that he would be able
to get the cleaner in working order
again He didn't, however. The Of
tener he took it apart and put it to-
gether the more parts he had left
over. | finally had to call in the jani-
tor and give him IS cents to do the
job"
THE recital of your woes strike
home in my own case" said the=oth-
er woman. "If your husband was any
more inquigitive than mine, I'd ask
you to lay your head on my shoulder
and have a cry.
I'VE had asked several friends to
dinner last evening, and l told my
husband to stop off at the delicatessen
store on his way home and purchase
some dainties l desired. The COM
pany arrived in due time and we
waited for the host to appear. He.
hadn't arrived at $50, so / gave the
company what l had in the house
and we sat down to play cards. My
loluC at q D. illo
clothes were torn and he was bespat-
tered with grease. / took him into
the kitchen and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. He told me that a steam
roller had broken down in the next
block and so he had volunteered to
help the roller chauffeur fix the ma
chine. My husband was delighted
with himself. He said he learned
more about the inner secrets of a
steam roller than he had ever
dreamed was possible.
Last week at the corner drug
store they had young lady in the
show window demonstrating ra-
zor blade sharpener She worked a
little machine and showed how the
thing was done. My husband failed
to reach home every evening on time
while the exhibition was in progress.

Are you sure he wasn't infatua-

Quite sure, for he forgot all
about her when a street fakir, work

DECLARES FOR A
NEW AMERICA

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Charles
q. Hughes told an audience last nigh
that he had no concern with loca
differences in politics. that the great
national aims" he had in view trans
seconded all possible local difficulties
and that he regarded the Republican
party as reunited, inspired by loft!
traditions" and devoted to the accom-
plishment OF great achievements.
Before making his address MI
Hughes had conferred with LEADER
here over differences in California be
tween Progressives and Republicans.
In his address the nominee said:
I come here as the spokesman
of the national Republican party
With local differences | have no
concern. The great national aims
/ have in view transcend all pos
sible local differences and we are
together, reunited. inspired by the
loftiest traditions OF our historic
party and devoted to the accom-
plishments Of those great achieve
ments upon which must rest our
enduring prosperity as a nation.
Sees New World Forming.
Speaking Of preparedness, Nj
Hughes said:
| desire that We should take no
narrow view. We live in a very
critical period There is a new
world in process OF formation.
Out OF the great European con-
flict will issue a new Europe, but
there must he in a very true sense
a new America to meet the ext
gencies of that time II must be
an America that has found itself;
II must be an America that takes
a long look ahead-not content
with the prospect of few years.
even Of decade or a score Of
years but an America planning
for the twentieth century.
We must conserve the very
bases OF our prosperity In con-
serving women and children. We
must cndeavor to have content
ed America; an America content
ed because Of the prevalence of
Just dealing between man and
man, aided by wise laws.
Sources of Unrest.
We cannot afford I'm looking into
the future to fail to take account
or the sources of discomfort and
unrest. We do not need to have
perennial agitation in this conn
try. All that is needed is a Arm
sense OF cooperation and realiza-
ton IN our practical, industrial
life, OF those ideals Of human
brotherhood upon which our con-
stitutional system is based.
There Is a new spirit I believe
abroad in the land. There Is a
disposition TO take account of lust
grievances and 10 provide reason
able remedies.
We can have humanitarian
I outlook, which is absolutely es-
sentlal not only because II is
right. from human standpoint,
but because il is necessary from
an economic standpoint.
/ Iarin to Foster; Not Cripple.

views and his pledge that no on
