How aggression and self-determIn-
alton will overcome many of the prob
lens Of life, is seen in the career OF
Edward J. Harding. who today ocCu-
pies a promising position among the
contractors of this country.
When Mr.. Harding started to work
for a New York concern some sixteen
years ago. little did he dream of his
future success, but by persistent effort
and fighting he has attained his pres
ent position as Washington represent
ative and field secrtary of the Asso-
ciated General Contractors of America,
an organization which Tas a MEM
bership of over four hundred of Amer
icas foremost contractors. including
several firms in the District.
Mr.. Harding recently appeared be-
fore the Board of JurisdictionaI
Awards as representative of these
contractors and argued the cause OF
the contractors In brilliant manner.
After working for while as an
office boy, Mr.. Harding rose to a
clerkship and studied nights after his
clerical duties had been performed
and later found reward for his dill
gent effort when he Joined the forces
of the Hudson and Manhattan Rail
road. where he arose to the position
of assistant 70 the treasurer. After
twelve years >Hith the Hudson ana
Manhattan, Mr.. Harding accepted an
offer to represent the James Steward
Construction Company, Inc. in Wash
ington, and his work during the war
with this concern was largely for
governmental interests.
When the Associated General Con-
tractors of America was formed. Mr..
Harding's abilities were quickly recog-
nized and the post of field secretary
was offered him
Mr.. Harding is an Elk, having been
an officer of the Elk Lodge at Plain
field, n. j., which was his home be-
fore establishing himself and his fam
lily in Washington. His pleasing per-
sonality and brilliant Irish wit have
won a warm place in the hearts OF all
those who have come in contact with
him, and his home at Chevy Chase
is the scene of many brilliant social
gatherings.

By EDMUND VANCE COO

BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
She had languishing lashes and hem
mad hair,
She had lips that hinted Don't you
darew
She had httenish ways and an in
jured air,
Diaphanous skirts and a baby stare
She was bubbly and babbly and over
inclined
To make up her face, but never her
mind.
So she married a man OF world affairs,
A large-souled man of abundant
cares.
With brain set under his graying
hairs.
And her friends all whispered. THE
little cat!
What DOES a man see in a girl like
that?"
He stood for the status quo, and
swore
That the sum OF two plus two is four.
He told of the wonderful things he'd
done
BY compass and sextant. by sword
and gun.
He asserted himself through voice and
pen:
He pampered women, he patronized
men.
So he married a woman OF subtle
mind,
Gentle and self-contained and kind,
With a heart of the purest gold re-
fined.
And his friends all muttered. The
head of fat
What DOES a girl see in a guy like
that?"
Uncle Ichabod says he believes IN
government ownership Of the White
House and the national regulation of
Congress.

New York, Aug. 13.-It is whis-
pered in underground channels that
the word has gone out from police
headquarters that the Stool Pigeon
is no longer to be the connecting
link between the police and the un-
derworld. The stool pigeon has
been outmoded and a new school
of Wrestling secrets from the crook
and from crookdom has been found.
The stool pigeon is the profession
al snitch-generally a weakling who
is allowed to engage in petty thieving
SO that he can tip off the police to
the bigger criminal expeditions that
he hears planned in the fried fsh
eating houses and cheap saloons he
frequents.
There was time when the stool
pigeon played an important part
in uncovering nests of vicious crimi-
nails in Manhattan-but the stout
hearted crook Stunned such betray-
ais. and so the stool pigeon became
a slippery-faced, sloppily rcSed, and
depraved drug addict type-who
shuffled along the streets hugging
the walls in enlightenment and
fearing any moment the shot from
dark hallway.
At odd times milk wagon drivers
in the slums have discovered bodies
in the cutters or areaways - eyes
glazed and mouth sgape. When the
police came they knew 1t was the
symbol of the crooks hatred for the
snitch. For that reason the stool
pigeon became more and more leary
OF his avocation.
It was during the lively days when
Lieut.. Becker ruled the Tenderloin
that the stool pigeon played an i'm
portant part in police circles. But
with the pistoling of the gambler
Rosenthal and the subsequent ex-
posures-the stool pigeons. fearing
instant death. took flight to all cor
ners Of the globe. Many OF them
meyer came back.
There is a firm conviction in Tin
Pan Alley that the high-class NOV
ing picture theaters have resulted in
a demand for a higher type of song
The RiaIto and Rivoli movie palaces,
for instance. have a complete sym
phony orchestra playing nothing but
carefully selected programs. on
each bill is a song number of a high
order. The singers are paid in some
cases as high as $1,000 a week for
singing four songs a day. The NOV
ing picture managers and the sing
ers are always on the lookout for
new songs as well as the old classics.
The music publishers realize that if
song is sung at these places for a
week it is made-if it is a good song
to begin with. The song, when You
Look in the Heart of Rose" was
first sung at the Rivoli. I believe.
Then il became the song-hit OF The
Better Ole" which now has seven
companies out. II was a high-class
song and the movie crowds liked Il.
They began to buy it. and now it is
nearing over There" in sales.
Like Henry Ford, my soul scars
above the headlines. At lunch the
other day a group of artists and four
writer's were discussing the Ford
case. Most of us knew little about
Benedict Arnold, but an annoying
high-brow in the crowd began to pin
me to the mat on a discussion OF the
Louisiana Purchase and the Dred
sketchy on those topics. But ii
wouldn't have been so bad II the fell
low hadn't asked me point blank
what l thought of Bulgaria's CLAIMS
at the peace conference.
