BETTER" said Mrs. Harding. Its O
quiet life. a pleasant one and the prob
lens are not so huge. liked it. I
really liked it better than I'd like to be
in the White House"
Manners Are Pleasing
Mrs. Harding is what one could call
very smart looking woman. Her
clothes werc-wpll, they gave the i'm
preston of black and white. but her
manners are so pleasing and her affa =
bility so marked that one forgot to look
at her clothes. She is exuuisitely
groomed. and is the chatty sort OF
woman who can entertain one for an
indefinite time without saying anything
unkind about anybody, AS n diplomat
she should do well as the Chief Exccu
tivp's wife.
There waSjnever a more cordial WON =
an in public life than Mrs. Harding
and it would be difficult to imagine the
White House making any notable diff
ference in the lady. She is essentially
kind and said with tear in her eye:
"Wc haven't any children. | wish
we had. The senator plays with every
child he meets. He firts with them,
even the babies in arms, and no matter
how big the meeting if he sees child
come along, hanging to its parent
hand, he enjoys saying word to it,"
She finished by saying: "I'm of nc
Importance. Don't say anything about
me, but tell everybody what wonder
full man my husband is. ought to
know, having been married to him
twenty six years. and | am not doing
this for campaign purposes. He is won :
derful."
Harding Marriage a Romance
Mrs. Harding before hcr marriage
was Florence King. daughter of q
prominent business man and banker Of
Marion. q. She met Warren Harding
at a dance and married him despite the
opposition of her father to the nup.
tials.
Before their marriage, when young
Harding, who was publisher of thu
Marion Star, had nervous breakdown
and was ordered South, his future wifi,
took hold Of the paper and ran it fol
him during his absence.

her pet plans are not received with en-

Poison in Prison
Kills and Blinds

ALBANY, March 12.--Authorities at
Clinton prison are battling with a mys-
terious poison which has to date claimed
two deaths, blinded five and partly
robbed twenty five other inmates of their
sight. The dead are John Slcore, New
York City, and Grant Griffith Of Suffolk
county.
Tins of canned salmon have been sent
to the state laboratory for analysis. The
authorities first believed the poisoning
came from wood alcohol, but have aban-
doned that theory.
