LODGE AS KEYNOTE.

Among the dutfes imposed upon the committee of arrangements for the na- tional republican convention to be held in Chicago on the eighth of June is that of selecting the temporary chairman. This is a job which may be extended to include the permanent chairmanship of the convention, meaning the responsibil- ity of guiding the convention through it's session of several days, but they are off, ten held by different men and such is the plan that will be followed this year.
 In the selection of Senator Lodge for the temporary chairman the committee has made choice of the party leader in the United States, who has been the guiding force of the party in legislative matters and who has taken the lead in directing the efforts in regard to the treaty with its league of nations which will be carried into the coming cleo tion. In view of the policy that has been followed and in view of the contest that is to come it is quite proper that Senator Lodge should be selected to open the convention and deliver the keynote ad- dress.
 That he is qualified for the position there can be no question, that he is the logical man for the position is indicated | by the fact that he has been in full l charge as chairman of the senate for | eign relations committee of the big is sue that will be raised in this campaign and that he is regarded as the man for the place by party leaders is indicated i by the fact that he is chosen. Senator Lodge held the permanent chairmanshiI
 20 years ago at which time in spite ot all the efforts it was impossible to side
 track the name of Roosevelt and he wa: named as vice president.

 should be guided by. That the conven
 tion will be as well served in it's owl

DECORATIVE AND coLoRFuL

If you want your windows to vie with those of the neighbors or if you have a sneakinE desire to outstrip them entirely, start your planning and your planting now. There are many suitable and colorful plants that can can be started in the house for use later. Any florist will advise you if you state your color scheme, and he will suggest good hardy growers for window box use through all the sum- mer.
 It is a pleasant fancy to make your flower harmonize with your awnings. Marigolds would be stunning. over hung with brown and white stripes, and black and white awnings could call for these or scarlet geraniums = the idea can be multiplied.
 There is something cheerful about ] locking out of a window over the tor of riot of colorful flowers; pretty al all times. the use of flower boxes is to ! be particularly advised when the win dow outlook is unfortunate. These boxes can be easily made hy the home carpenter. or they can be ordered from the professional at a moderate cost, especially if the painting is done at home. The painting and decorating are in themselves great fun. and, oi course, the outside of the house mus
 be taken into consideration in the col. or scheme.

"rd like to know just one thing" burst out. the young man who. with his foot braced upon the mahogany piano bench, was briskly polishing his shoe. "Is it sure sign when girl smiles at you--oh you, know how!-well, when she looks at you as though she wasn't thinking of another thing on earth does she like you a bit?'
 "Oh," groaned the other occupant of the bachelor apartment, dusting his ci- gar ashes into a small mouthed vase which never in the world could be emp tied, why is this wished upon me? never did go in for anagrams and prizes for puzzles. sa
 When girl smiles at you like that, Tommy, the safe bet is to take a long, deep breath and run. Run for your life {! Especially if she is sitting under a rose colored lamp shade with her dimp1ed hands folded in her lap within easy reach of yours. More especially if she leans forward with slightly parted lips and asks you please to go on, that she never heard anything SC wonderful in her life. You may be telling her how you made a base hit when you played on the high school team or how you re- cited a problem in addition, but she is just as interested. You have just about oo 1AuS4t StldACc dS lIIOQS0 Altu SlA cats guarding the exit!'

HANDLING TURKEY.

At time when the important move of bringing about a peace between the al lies and Turkey is being brought to a [ocus when there appears to be an agreement on the part of the allies as to what the terms should be and when the most definite step is being taken to set tle the near east situation, it is impos- sible to overlook the fact that one of the two Turkish factions is making a move with the idea of bringing about unity.
 For some little time now the nation alists under Mustapha Renal Pasha have been causing much trouble and un- easiness in Asia Minor. There the new government has been established and g considerable army raised. Do what il would Constantinople has not been able to control this faction. It is in fac against the sultan that this new gov ernment has been set up, and it was impossible to get sufficient Turkisl troops to fight against them successfully Thus inasmuch as force has failed t, bring about the overthrow of this fac ! tion efforts are now to be made to reacl an understanding whereby it will bt possible not only to prevent Turks iron  1 fighting Turks but to be able to presen 8 united front against outsiders Tha The Turks are still causing enough trou ble in that region is perfectly apparen ] but there is appreciated the danger O | having division among themselve | with the sultan of course conscious O | the powerless position in which he i l placed by the nationalist defection.

ln connection with appointments made hv the president there has been shown considerable opposition.

 Just now there is under fire the ap- r0Ir-mcrt of Samuel W. Mccall. former -lrsrnor and cx-coaCressman, 10 the fariT commission. There is a vacancy Iherc1n caused by the resignation of Professor Taussig which must be filled by ramIlg republican.

The nomination of ex-Gov- ernor Mccall followed and inasmuch as thrre ha7 bc-n no declination on his part .r l1 70 he supposed that he is willing to rcrert even though it was but a short t'mo ago that he declined an office al home because it might restrict his politi- cal rrd other activities.

 A. JOHNSON, TAILOR
 No other private occupation did he ever have From the table on which he sat cross-legged as he worked at his trade, he stepped directly into congress and he remains the only president who could describe himself as a hand-crafts- man. He continued most of his life to make his own clothes, and when he was governor of Tennessee he complimented the governor of Kentucky by making a suit for him.
 Johnsons tailor shop was also his only schoolroom. He never was in any other, even for a day. But he was not his own teacher. That post was filled by Eliza McArdle, who had chanced to set the North Carolina boy walking into towr and had giggled to her companions. as st many giggling girls have done: ''Ther' goes my beaur 20 In less than a year though the bride was only seventeen anC the groom not yet nineteen, they wer i married and keeping house in the two | room tailor-shop.
 Johnson already could read a littl and could painfully form the letter of tn alphabet. But his wife became his frs | teacher, reading to him while he piled hi needle or guiding his hand while h practiced writing. Her eager pupil wa most apt in oratory, and soon his sho became the forum of a debating society where other ambitious workers joine the tailor in wordy combats

 course, I don't mean any girl in particu- lar-b1t I've noticed that girls do look at you that way, and when they do they certainly look as though they were aW- fully interested and-well, l just won dered. Not that there is anything about me to make girl notice me twice
 Whoa, Tommy" reproved his friend For Pete's sake don't get humble When a man is humble and spiritless and cowed some girl is going to come along and gather him in quicker than scat, and before he gets his wits back he's gone. Also, this humble strain is a certain forerunner of an attack Of love Or hard cold, I don't know which.
 One of the exasperating traits of girls is that they can put on an express sion and then sort of dare you to guess what it means. Whatever you guess you go to the foot of the class and get spat- ted with the ruler to boot. If you do l guess right they change their mind be- fore you complete your guess. What you should do, Tommy, is make them do the guessing. They need l to have their minds occupied. A wo- man with her mind occupied is exactly as harmless as a serpent with it's fangs | extracted and you can enjoy looking al her without having to sidestep every minute.
 1 Don't let yourself be fooled by tha 1 trusting, interested expression and ador ing smile. Just remember that she put! it on with her face powder and it stick 1 just as permanently. l hate to blast al your young illusions, but some hant must deal the blow and I'd rather do i than have you come staggering hom some night saying that your life Ii wrecked, that women are fickle ant you'd never have thought it. I don see why you are bothering your heat over these abstruse things anyhow!'
