THE CHAMBERS.

One of the most original products of New York millionairedom is John Armstrong Chanler, the head of that branch of the house of Astor known as the Chambers. The eccentric au- thor of who's Looney Now?" was born in New York fifty-four years ago today, being the first born of the eight children of John winthrop Chanler and his spouse, who was Margaret Astor Ward. The latter was the daughter of Emily Astor, who was the daughter of William Backhouse Astor, son of John Jacob Astor, the founder of the Astor dynasty of mil lions. John Armstrong was educat- ed by the Astor family tutor, at Rug by School in England. and at Colun1- bia University, receiving the degrees of A. B. and A. H. from the latter institution. Soon after his gradua- ton he was admitted to the New York bar, and for years he was a social leader, and, it was said, belonged to more first class clubs than any other man in New York.
 Some years ago he was declared in sane and was incarcerated in Bloom ingdale madhouse. He escaped from that institution and made his way to Virginia, where he was adjudged sane, and established himself on a fine \estate. He then changed his name to Chaloner, the ancient form of his family patronymic.
 MT. Chaloner married Amelie Rives, the novelist, in 1888, but she divorced him in 1895, and later mar
 
 betzkoy. Cha1oner and his former spouse are on terms of friendship, and both insist that they entertain no i'll feelings toward the other. One of MT. Chaloner's brothers, Robert Winthrop Chanler. better known as Sheriff Bob," was also unfortunate in his matrimonial affairs, his mar riage with Lima Cavalieri. the singer, ending speedily in the divorce courts. It was in connection with the Chan ler-Cavalieri case that John Arm strong Chaloner originated the famous phrase, Who's Looney Now?" MT. Chaloner has always insisted that he was declared insane as the result of 6 conspiracy of enemies
 MT. Cha1oner has entered the liter ary lists within recent years, his pub lications including an odd work on "HelI' and volume of verse under the title of "Scorpio." He has writ ten many denunciations of the rich men of New York. Among 1aboring men and 1ongshoremen, truck drivers and the like," he once wrote, friend ship is as real as it was in the days of Damon and Pythias. But the rich man is rotten"

ELIZABETH TONNE.

Supplementing a ringing editorial in the October number of the Nautilus Magazine, Mrs. Elizabeth Towne, of HI1yoke, Mass, has written to the Democratic National Committee teil- ing why she has decided to support President Wilson, and why she be- lieves the Democratic party is the party of progress.
 Mrs. Towne and her husband, both noted leaders of the New Thought movement, have been prominent in the Progressive Party since it's birth,I having been delegates to the Chicago conventions. Mrs.~Towne, as Editor, of the Nautilus, declares that while she is still a Roosevelt enthusiast, she believes the Colonel made a mis- take in endorsing Hughes, as he made a mistake in endorsing Taft"
 Mrs. Towne further said:
 "We think that in standing for Wilson we are standing for Humanity FiHet and efficiency second. We bel lieve that under Republican rule, for as many years as we can remember, we had efficiency frst-for and by the predatory rich-and Humanity, not second, but last
 Hughes has nothing tc gay for himself, and everything to say against Wilson. We don't think it is wise to have this country ruled by sphinx. We must have constructive policy, and, so far, MT. Wilson seems the only one who proposes such"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-10

Mrs. Elizabeth Glendower Evans, of Boston, member of the Massachu- setts Commission which was the first Tn the United States to investigate women's wages, and which recom- mended Minimum Wage Law, has declared herself as strongly in favor of the reelection of Woodrow Wilson. Mrs. Evans says he has made good"
 "And those who have a contract with the people for socia, justice" i" she declares, should be the ones above all others to vote him a con- tinued lease of ofice."
 Mrs. Evans, Suffragist, believes that universal Woman Suffrage will be attained more rapidly by the pass age of Federal Amendment than by tn. so-called "State method" "Of course," says Mrs. Evans, eff the claims that MT. Hughes election would secure the passage of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment through Congress could be substanti- ated, this would weigh heavily with most suffragists. But such claim is to distort facts; it carries with it no promise of performance.
 "The Progressives should see that the Democratic party under Presi- dent Wilson's masterly leadership has proved real instrument of the DOT ular will"

FEEDING THE TEUTON POOR.

In no other country in western Europe has the fair sex been per- mitted to take so little part in public affairs as in Germany, yet under the trial of war the feuton women have risen to the emergency and have giv- en invaluable aid to the government It is scarcely too much to say that the Kaiser would now be suing for peace on almost any terms if the Wo- men of his realm had devoted them selves as exclusively to- the three Kss'-kitchen, church and children as he has always urged them to do. In spite of Wilhelm's advice. German women in the last quarter of a cen .tury have refused to confine their in- terests to such narrow channels When the test of war came, millions of the fair sex, of all ages and condi- t1ons, were ready and able to take up the work of men. On the farms, and in shops, factories and mills. they have performed the tasks formerly considered exclusively masculine. One of the greatest of their achievements is that of the National Women's Ser vice League, a wartime organization composed almost exclusively of the clubwomen and other "advanced'' women of the empire, who. before the war, were the Kaiser's pet aversion. When the food supply of the Germans began to shrink and the prices to mount, hundreds of thousands of poor families were left without the means of subsistence. The government sought to solve the problem by in- creasing the pensions of the wives and widows of soldiers, but this did not help much. The situation was growing ominous, and disaffection was spreading in the army because of the pathetic appeals for aid sent to sol diers by their wives and mothers, when the clubwomen launched their organization. Within a short time they had perfected a plan whereby every poor family in Germany was card-indexed, and the women sup piled temporary aid for the needy until suitable employment could be found. They also opened schools for teaching the poor how to spend their money to the best advantage, and in many other ways helped to solve a situation which was threatening the government with disaster.

MEXICO's FIRST PRESIDENT.

The first president of the republic of Mexico was Manuel Felix Fernan- deg, who was inaugurated ninety-two years ago today, Oct. 10. 1924. When the Spaniards were driven out of the City of Mexico in 1921, the victorious Gen. Iturbide set up an imperial court and assumed the title of Augustin I. Within a few months the republicans under Santa Ana and other generals started a revolution, which was suc- cessful, and Fernandez was chosen as the first president. He is known in history as Guadalupe Victoria, which he substituted for his legitimate name to commemorate a victory he had gained over the Spaniards. Born in Durango in ES0, he early espoused the patriot cause, serving under Itur- bide. The latter, when victorious, cast Victoria into prison, but he con- trived to escape and assisted in the overthrow of the Emperor. He was member of the provisional govern ment during the revolution, and when peace was restored became president. He retired from office in 1929. and died at Perote in 1843. The most noteworthy feature of his administra- ton was the abolition of slavery in 1925.

TODAY'S POEM
VACATIONS END

Judd Lewis. in Houston Post.) The city girls, the classy girls, the
 girls so full of charm, Who want to spend the summer in
 theiNcountry on the farm, Are coming fitting back to town, and
 we are hearing tales Of country boys with broken hearts.
 We almost hear their walls! We almost hear them sob and cry, and
 hear them say, 70, bosh" We think of other days and ways,
 and think of other girls With natures roses in their cheeks and Sunshine on their curls. We would not say that city girls are
 not correct and sweet, We always love to watch them trip
 adown the city street., We l(se the dainty lids they wear
 and love their classy gowns; The. country has no finer girls than
 there are in the towns; But it has just as fine, and I can
 testify to that, Tough I am middle-agcd and have
 bald Spot and am fat. 7 For I have known the country girls
 and have looked into their
 eyes,
 And have held their dimpled hands ~and ate their homemade pies. And so I can't quite vision country
 boys with broken hearts Because some city girls have gone and left them only smarts; More like they're with the country
 girl. out leaning on the bars Collecting kisses when they catch a
 glimpse of shooting stars And figuring how summer time has
 helped out fathers hoard, And planning when they're wed to take some summer girls to
 board,
 And planning a hired man with looks to play his little part And let the city girl believe she's

ASK RUMANIANs TO QUIT.

Damaschewitschi. Russia. Oct. 1O- The entrance of Rumania into the war was the signal for the Russians all along the line to send over pla- cards calling upon the Germans and the Austrians to surrender and give up the war as hopeless. The .pla- cards in each case were carried over to points near the German trenches by prowling sentries during the night and were for the most part written in mis-spelled and ungrammatical German. The first placard 'discov- cred by the Germans was at point almost due east of Damaschewitschi, and read:
 NOTICE:-Today, the 2S-15 Aug ust. Rumania declared war on Aus tria, Germany, Turkey and Austria. We are not shooting in order that you may be able to SURRENDER.

A new broom most aSsuredly sweeps clean. New acquaintances cast a charm upon us which the old ones lack, or, more properly speaking, the charms of the old have dwindled into the commonplace. A young man may know a dozen nice girls in his town. Secretly he may ponder as to which one of them he likes abest, when a stranger happens in their midst
 Straightway he is fascinated by her personality. She is g. brilliant conver- sationalist, talks brightly, has pretty little coquettish ways. In a fortnight. he is ready to swear undying love for her. He has always known how to re- fuse the village girls when they en- deavored to persuade him to quit his fathers office some afternoon to en- gage in their merrymakipgs. But if the stranger even laughingly mentions that it would be a glorious day for an auto ride she is sure to have an invi- tation ere the words are fairly out of her mouth.
 Each evening finds him by her side, eager to plan some pleasure for the morrow for her. Many a young man wonders why such a girl to whom he paid much devotion cuts short her two IT onths' visit to three weeks One girl was frank enough to let me into the secret of it. She said: "When I was introduced to the village Beau Brum- mel I knew it was a case of infatua- tion from him at the first meeting. After that, he called every evening, often every afternoon. Of course had to entertain him. It was jolly fun for me for the first few days. Making new conquest is a. delightful pastime
 for a girl. But at the end of the first week I found my stock of small talk and witty sayings running low. If a girl commences by showing off
 brilliancy, she has to keep it up. Hav- ing to entertain young man after I noon and evening for an entire week | makes a martyr of nine out of ten girls.
 'She literally cannot find anything | more to say, nothing that will amuse him, make him laugh, cause him | to think or deepen his interest in her | If I were to remain the month out let alone two, his interest would
 dwfnd1e into the commonplace. That's
 the kind of young man who will propose by letter after I've gone" The views of this girl are entirely | wrong. Affection that one cannot
