4 EXCLUSIVE HISTORICAL ITEM

When Adams Eve began to do
the housekeeping for Adam, she
had no cares such as pursue the
modern Adams madam. She
did not know what was the rage,
because there was no Woman's
page.
She did not get the Daily Hints
from Paris full of passion to
start her on a daily sprint up
with the fashion. She did not
haunt the beauty stores in order
TO keep open pores.
When Adam capered home at
night Che was no wearied plod-
'der! he did not shiver lest he
might be served with curious fod
der. There were no papers, so
you see there was no Household
Recipe.
Old Adam was a happy bloke
and lived a life most CHEEKY. He
did not know that he would choke
some day with bacteria. Adam

He offered prizes far and wide
through all his jurisdiction fol
any scheme that might provide a
way To- spread his fiction. Tie
writing bug was i'm his bean and
you all know what that should
mean.
The advertising did not pull.
Not one of all the sagc- coul..

for making printed pages. Though
they could read the stars on sight
this was a task beyond their de.
light.

health he took a trip along the
Tigris River. He stepped into
some mud one day and saw foot
print in the clay.

"why not an editoral?" That
moment his Assyrian mob invent
ed the first printing job.

SMITH LOOKING
TO SETTING SUN
The Senior United States Senator
viii Retire.
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE HERE.
Declares He Has Borne His Share of
Public Burdens He Hesitates to
Pick a Candidate for United
States Senate
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE HERE.

! While in this city last week United
! States Senator John Walter Smith de-
clared to a party of friends that he was
! looking to the setting ami not TO the
rising SUM- and that at the expiration
| of his term in the Senate he will retire
70 private life
Senator Smith has four more years
ahead of him in the Senate. His dec
laration means that as soon as his
/ service in the Senate ends he will quit
public life. He has passed the 10Th
milestone. He realizes that he is
facing the setting sun.
So obsessed is Senator Smith with
the conviction that his public career is
ending that he has declined thus far
to express preference for a candidate
for the United States Senate to sue
ced Senator Blair Lee II is said he
is unwilling to place himself in a posi-
ton which would invite the throwing
of brickbats at a senatorial candidate
by his enemies
To state the case differently. he is
unwilling TO place himself in position
to be pulled down from his pedestal as
State leader by the defeat Of a candi-
date in the primaries who may be
tagged as his favorite. This would
mean the end of his career as leader
before the time he had set At one
time he was said 70 be willing to swing
the Democratic State organization be-
hind Attorney General Albert c. Ritch-
ie. for nomination in the May prima-
ries for the Unitel States Senate. Mr..
Ritchie has publicly declared. howev-
er, that he is not and will not be
candidate for the Senate
Senator Smith is. therefore, COM
PEELED to choose, if he chooses at all.
a candidate of the three in the field
Senator Blair Lee, Congressman David
J. Lewis and w Cabell Bruce From
personal viewpoint it is a difficult
job TO make a choice Mr.. Lee is OBJ
jectionable to him personally ami po-
litically, though as Senator he can do
his organization less harm than as
Governor, and Mr.. Lee will surely
come back as a candidate for Governor
three years hence if not renominated
and reelected to the Senate.
Mr. Lee is therefore,a "a constant men
ace 10 the Democratic State organiza-
ton. This fact is realized by Senator
Smiths lieutenants in counties. some
of whom are bestirring themselves to
avoid future feu,lal fights by lining up
behind Mr. Lee. Senator Smith has
ben appealed to- He has been asked
10 pass the worl down the line for Mr..
Lewis or Mr. Bruce. He has declined.
So Objectionable is Mr.. Lewis to the
business elements of Baltimore,the ele-
ment with which Senator Smith trains
and which has aided him materially
in financing state campaigns, it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether he is will
ing to ignore these objections and to
throw his rural strength to Mr. Lewis.

Smith is in a dilemma Not one Of the
