L.IFE-PRICE WE PAY FOR 1T
Penalties of Fame Are Debts of All
Existence, With "High Cost Of
Living" Significant.

The penalties of fame are the penal
ties of all life, which, when one views
It. resOlutely and without taking refuge
behind rose-cOlOred spectacles, teens
with contradictions that give a deeper
significance to that well-wOrn phrase,
"the high cost of living" And the
chief part of the expense lies not in
the things-fOOd clothing, shelter
which are demanded by our material
and bodily needs as human animals,
writes Mary Garden IN the New York
World.
Really to live as woman or as man
implies to want something or other
very greatly. And really to want some
thing very greatly means to strive for
that something with inappeasable
eugerness. And thus to strive means
one of two disappointment; or
achievement and the realization that
in gaining the one thing a score of
others have been missed.
Such is life and the price we pay
for it.

Naval Cadet SIanq,

"FOr certain slang expressions used
by the Annapolis cadets" writes Ju-
lian Street in his new travel book,
american Adventures" 81 am in
debted to a member of the corps. From
this admiral-tO-be learn that bird
or 'wazzo' is q man or boy; that
steam is marine engineering, and to
be 'bilged for juice is to fail in exam
inatiOn in electrical engineering; to
get an 'unsat,' or unsatisfactory mark
or even d zip or 'swabO,' which is n
zero. Cadets do not escort girls to
dances, but drag them; a girl is a
drag and a heavy drag or brick is
an unattractive girl who must be ta-
ken to a dance. A 'sleuth' or Jimmy
legs is a night watchm0n, and to be
ragged is to be caught. Mess-hall
walters are sometimes called 'mOkes,
while at other times the names Of
certain exalted dignitaiies of the navy
department or Oe the academy are ap-
piled to them"

REPUBLICANS WILL CONTROL

Washington, Nov. S-A republican majority ill the next congress of at least two in the senate and of not less than 43 in the house was assured from returns today from the scattering doubtful districts of last Tuesday 5 elections.
 Word from Detroit of the election in Michigan, upon almost complete unofficial returns of Truman H. New berry, republican candidate for the senate, over Henry Ford, democrat, increased the republican senate roll to 49-a bare majority. The democrats have 46, with the Idaho contest be- tween Senator Nugent, democrat, and former Governor Gooding sliIl in Goubt On the gface of almost complete un- official returns, Nugent has majority of nearly 500, but Gooding has de- handed an official count, which will be made Nov. Is.
 Returns from the last missing house district-the second Montana, where I republican was elected to the seat now held by Representative Jeannette Rankin, unsuccessful independent can didate for the senate-Were received today.
 On the face of now complete un . official returns the political lineup of the next house is as follows: Republi- cans 239, democrats 194, independent l, socialist 1.
 Prospects of holding not less than 49 seats in the senate, regardless of the outcome of the Idaho contest, places the republicans in a position to take control of the senate from the democrats and reorganize it. With 49 votes necessary to control, however, republican leaders realize that organ izatton will depend upon unbroken partisan alignment.

OCTOBER WEATHER WAS
 ' GREAT AID TO CROPS

Washington, Nov. S.-A summary of the report by the bureau of crop esti- mates today says:
 The almost ideal weather of October in the main agricultural areas result ed in an increase in the indicated corn crop by about thirty million bushels, with a quality of S5.6. compared with 75.2 last year and S2.S average. The results in the southwest and the far west are not up to expectations. While the absolute number of bushels is only s7 per cent. that Of last year, the food value. because of higher quality, is "a much larger proportion. The ab solute production is only a fraction of 1 per cent. below the five-year average. The stock of last years corn remaining on farms is more than three times the
