Harding Is likely to announce two or
may be three members Of his cabinet
early in January Although no tenders

one Of these places. Il is necessary that

The third most important post is
not so clear. 1t may be secretary Of

the country are experiencing. 1t may
be secretary Of labor on account of

be that Mr.. Harding has in mind to

principle which will govern in the Sc
lection Of the cabinet. Mr.. Harding
Will choose these members without re-
gard to geographic considerations and
aOlCly with view to their pre- eminent
qualifications for the places which he
regards as most important in the exist
ing situation. These selections which
will probably be announced first will
be counted upon TO satisfy the public
that he has chosen a big cabinet. In
filling the other cabinet posts geo
graphical and other considerations will
enter. The first three men will be the
kind of men the President would like
to have as his advisers il he were mt
members will be the kind whom he
deems cXpcdient to choose for party or
sectional reasons.
OF the cabinet in detail it may be
said:
That cx.JustiCe Hughes is still up
permost in the Presidents mind fol
secretary Of state.
That Herbert Hoover is under con
sideration for a place in the cabinet,
commerce or labor probably
That Senator Knox Is still under
consideration for secretary of state.
though the probabilities favor Hughes
on account of the latter's greater youth
and vigor. Senators Pcnrose and Town.
er appear to have reached some agree
mcnt as to what should be done II
Knox resigns from the Senate and this
promotes KnoX's availability.
That the secretary Of labor Is likely
to be some advocate of social justice
Of which Mr.. Harding has SO often
spoken. rather than either profess
sional labor man or an employer Of
labor. no matter how successful or
enlightened in his relations with his
employees.
That the West is likely 10 obtain as
usual the secrctaryship of labor and of
the interior.
That the claims of the South for q
place in the cabinet are being seriously
pressed. bu that no candidate from thu
South has yet been found whose ap-
pointmcnt is probable.
Mr.. Harding may recognize the South

have gained currency, one that George
Christian would be secretary to the
President, and the other that Richard

WHEN a silk scarf is unusual
w in color and design it is really
worthy of consideration as
Christmas gift. I saw a Roman
striped silk scarf at the store of
A. G. Spalding G. Bros, 1910 Chest
nut Street, that would brighten up
the most somber suit. A white silk
scarf with border striped in gold,
brown and blue, is very attractive
and a tan scarf with figured border
in exquisite pastel shades is one of
the loveliest things I've seen in
long while. Another gift sugges-
tion is an angora tam and scarf in
maize or old blue. Spalding's have
the berets that are being worn with
polo cloth coats, too. They come in
dark brown and light tan. l
noticed, too, some cashmere stock
ings, with embroidered clocks, at
most reasonable prices.
