VICE PRESIDENTS WIFE

her estimable character than most
any Of her friends in Washington.
Mrs. Marshall impressed me from
the first with her innate kindness and
simplicity. two weapons which bring
even hostile personalities into an al
chemy of friendship, but to add to
these qualities she has charm and
adaptability.
Mrs. Marshall is big Of heart, but
she is likewise big of brain. What
her kind impulses too quickly dictate
her good sense checks, and over all
and above all, both herself an hus'

Hoosier sense Of humor.
Charming Femlninity
One of the chief charms Of the vice

takes one of the leading parts in THE
Romance of Tarzan," the spectacu-

chapters of "Tarzan of the Apes"
by Edgar Rice Burroughs, which
opens at the New Casino theatre

The scene in which Tantor makes
such an unexpected and thrilling ap-
pearance occurs just after Tarzan
has engaged in battle to the death
with six giant cannibals who lay in
wait along one Of the jungle trails to
intercept the party of whites, includ.
ing the beautiful American girl with
whom Tarzan has fallen in love.
Exhausted and bleed, Tarzan stag
gers away from the glade Of death
and is on the point Of sinking down
into the thick jungle grass, there to
become a victim of the first savage
black or beast of prey that comes
that way, when he is startled into full
consciousness by the trampling Of
heavy feet close at hand.

Process of making a practical build

mica with just a sufficient amount OF
clay, or other substance Of similar

ed son, Morrison Marshall.
Nearly two years ago she accom-
panied Mrs. Houston, the wife OF the
secretary of agriculture, on her
rounds to visit the Washington poor
homes, where suffering for lack OF
sanitary housing conditions were
making their appeal even above the
din of wartime needs, and there she
found little Morrison, who was chris
tened Ignatius aloysius, living In one
room with family Of five.
Weakness Touched Her Heart
The baby was the weaker one OF
a pair of twins, and Mrs. Marshall
persuaded the mother to permit her
to take the baby home with her, that
she might give it the advantage OF
nourishing food from the Diet Kitch-
en-, an organization Of which she was
chairman, and the mother was glad to
give her child this opportunity to grow
strong under such pleasant environ
ment
Mrs. Marshall brought the child to
the Willard hotel and turned her large
salon into a nursery, secured the SER
vices of nurse who every day took
him for rides in the pure air, and
from the very first day the little fell
low began to improve.
After several weeks he was taken
back home to his mother, but he
could not thrive in that atmosphere,
and once more he was brought to the
sheltering arms of the Marshall
household, where he had already
made a place for himself in their af-
fectiona Time after time the child
was restored to his mother after his
health had improved, and each time
Mrs. Marshall said it was harder to
give him up, and at last it was agreed
that he might remain with his adopt
ed parents for all time. They adore
him, and he calls them daddy" and
"muvver." He is now three and a
half years OF age, and his faster par
ents never tire of telling anecdotes
about this precious child.
Ambassador a Nail-Bter?
At first he was nervous and had the
habit of biting his nails, to overcome
which they put white gloves on him
at night, and this precaution entirely
cured this habit. However, Morrison
remembered the uncomgortable
gloves, and not long ago, while re
viewing the Pershing parade, one Of
the ambassadors, wearing white
gloves, came up to shake hands with
the baby, and Morrison exclaimed
do you bite 'em, too?"
Morrison is now a member OF the
Marshall family, and nothing would
induce them to part with him. How
ever, their interest in the baby die

baby's family Work was secured fol

occasionally the baby is taken bacl

She IS optimistic, and her pretty,
wholesome countenance, lit up by en-
thusiasm for the real things, makes
her an interesting personality aside
from the fame Of her official honors
and altogether it is a face that holds
and attracts by the mind that shines
out Of pair Of clear brown eyes.
A Silent courtship
She laughingly tells the story OF
her husbands courtship, of which she
was ignorant for nearly three years.
The vice president was at that time
a journeyman Judge and often ap-
peared in the court room where she
was employed with her father. With
in three months after Mr.. Marshall
declared his purpose they were mar
ried and their married life has been
ideal. They are congenial; they like
the same things-with a few excep'
tions-detective stories and music.
Mrs. Marshall is especially fond or
music, preferring the piano, and is a
performer of no mean ability.
She particularly likes to read seri-
GUS books and society novels, and her
husband frankly admits his fondness
for good detective stories.
Saved Vice Presidents Life.
While up in Bar Harbor last Sum-
mer sent him several volumes OF
detective and mystery stories and re-
ceived this note from him in reply:
"My dear Mrs. Walsh-You have
saved my life This morning ! awoke
with the thought that / should have
to spend the day reading the Social
Register or the Congressional Record,
but in the first mail your Blood
Curdlers" came and now am glad to
tell you that Richard is himself
again."
A singular coincidence was noted
when the Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall entertained the king and
queen of the Belgians at luncheon
at the Waldorf-Astoria. It happened
to be the wedding anniversary of the
Belgians monarchs and also the we'd
ding anniversary of the Marshalls.
The force Of Mrs. MarshalPs per.
sonal appeal has been exemplified In
her determination to make the. Sem
ate Red Cross unit success. She
rallied the women together, and while
she found that social impulse was
necessary to bring them to work ev.
cry day she inaugurated the senate
luncheon factor as an inducement to
keep up the interest in the work. And
so the work of helping the Walter
Reed hospital boys and continuing
the diet kitchen benefits has been an

has never faltered and shows her fit-
ness for leadership.
She never antagonizes but prefers
to help and it is readily admitted that
one of the secrets Of the Marshalls
social popularity in Washington Is
due to the fact that they don't mind
being called "a little old-fashioned."
In fact, Mrs. Marshall, while al
ways we'll gowned. avoids extremes In
dress and refuses to be the. first to
initiate any new mode.

EARNED AND UNEARNED
WEALTH..

The world scrutinizes very closely
the methods by which wealth is ac-
qIired. If a man makes $4,000 a
year out Of a well managed business
employing 5000 people, his profit. If
given to the employees would he but
$500 each. He no doubt helps them
to make many times $500 year
more than if the business is poorly
conducted. Where that is the case he
earns every cent of $4,000.
Others acquire wealth, not from
legitimate production, but by manip-
ulation and promotion schemes. Many
stock market fortunes are of this
kind. This does not mean that spec
ulatton should be abolished. Were
there not group of men always will
ing to pay a fair price for securities
people who need to turn property
into cash would have to sacrifice
heavily to do it.
But stock market speculation is
greatly oyerdone. 1t would be .
wholesome thing to impose a much
larger tax on the transfer of securi-
ties. 1t should not be enough to OBJ
struct genuine trading, where there
Is a real reason for buying and SELL
ing. But it should discourage mere
swapping, trading and gambling.
The promotion of trust and COM
bine schemes has been a field where
many promoters have obtained for
tunes without equivalent service to
the public. The man who combines
number of businesses into one cor
poration commonly gets a large rake
off of stock. which represents in a
great many cases no service to the
public.
That is a practice that should be
discouraged by heavy taxation or
otherwise
Fortunes unjustly made in similar
ways create a class of wealthy peo-
pie who are irresponsible in the full
fillment of obligations to the com
munity, The social structure is on a
sound foundation only when wealth
comes to those alone who earn it by
service to the public.
