Nurse WITH II
MOUNDS FIGHTS
FOR INDUSTRY
,.,erfed SKILLED In Action" Is Nou
Trying to Prove That She
Is Alive.

Gan Antonio, Jan. 10.-America' s
~,eatest woman World war hero,
sass AIene E. Frawley, who has
IAN wounded and shot, buried
ptrs and bombed, and carries IT
sonnd stripes on her coat sleeve, is
90 facing what she calls the
,osghest job Of all
mat Of proving to the world that
,,o is still alive,
And all this because, following
ne bombing Of an emergency hos
sstal in the trenches at Chateau
Ts,erry. she was officially reported
ssead' in the government war cas-
aaity records.
"A f. F."-that's what the boys
saver there" called her, because
- her initials-headed for France
sro months after the United States
altered the war. She Joined up
with the goth division as a member
n the United States Army Nurse
Corps.
Then things began to happen
r.nidly. Wound stripe after woun1
stripe went on her sleeve.
Al Tours a hospital was blown
IN All but two persons in the
bnilding were killed. She was one
~ the two. In another case a piece
N shrapnel broke her finger, ca
romed and killed map.
Fourteen other wounds came, all
while she was on the front, and
them the fatal blast, when the
Prpnch hospital was blown to pieces.
aKilled in action" was the report
after her name.
In the meantime American SOL
diers dug her out of the ruins and
took her to a hospital where she
remained unconscious for q days.
wear and eight months later she
left the hospital and was sent to
tho Walter Reed General hospital
al Washington.
Miss Frawley's mother and her
! stepfather had long believed her
dead. Several installments of her
war risk insurance had been paid
to the family.
Then came a telegram stating
that Miss F'rawley's body" was be-
ing sent to the hospital.
Wondering why a body" would
be sent to a hospital, the parents
went TO Washington where they
found Miss Frawley alive but
feeble
Shortly after Miss Frawley was
taken to San Antonio to recuperate
in a cottage just outside the mill
tary reservation of Fort Sam Hous-
ton. At that time she weighed Sc
pounds and was able to walk only
on crutches.
Today she weighs 162 and has
discarded one of the crutcheS.
And, in the meantime, everything
is being done to blot out the record
that she was killed in action. =
Mrs. Frawley has made afffdavits
that Miss F'rawley is her daU shter
and not an impOstor and the wheels
are beginning to turn that will
straighten out the mixup, Miss
Frawley believes.
Miss FTawley was born near
Rochester, n. Y. Her own father
was a doctor and her mother was
a trained nurse. Before going TO
Europe Miss F'rawley had served
as nurse in the Philippines, China,
Hawaii and in Panama.
Besides her II wound stripes this
greatest woman hero wears Dis
tinguished Service Cross, the
French Croix de Guerre aid many
other lesser decorations.

Wants to Become Just
a Plain Pe1nd. Farmer

2 The President has it all figured
out. When the term of his great
office has expired and he reaches
the point where he can "settle
down." he wants to become a plain
Pennsylvania farmer.
Harding, the citizen, has already
expressed his preference to friends.
If he has his own way he will pur-
chase a comfortable and productive
farm, where he can engage in peace
fuf agricultural pursuits for at least
goodly portion Of the year as
Farmer Harding.
The remainder of the year he will
be Editor Harding, pursuing his
profession in the town of Marion,
Of which he is one of the leading
boosters.
When he tires Of the hustle Of a
newspaper office he will be able to
make a retreat to soothing rural
pursuits.
Such is the Presidents dream, his
ambition. From White House to
farmhouse.
President Harding has a theory
that the safest and most wholesome
place for any one is a farm. He
believes that the security Of the ma
tlon lies in it's farms. The con-
structive labor there, the simplicity
Of country life, appeal to him as
elements of great strength in a
period of complexities and of un-
rest.
"There is too much work on the
FARMS" he once said. "The Boil
shevists will never take them!"
The President believes also that
those who live in cities should own
their own homes if they can. He
would help them to own them, if
ne could. 1t is his theory Of the
farm applied to the city.
lie would not have city dwellers
ouy homes simply for the sake Of
owning property, but BECAUSE he
holds, possession of property brings
sense of security, of responsibility,
VI stability, that makes a man who
owns a home a better citizen than
the one who doesn't.
IN the Marion Star Office nine out
OF every ten employees own their
own homes. Harding, the editor,
nelped them to invest in homes and
pay rent to themselves" Giving
n's men this start was bit of the
Harding philosophy.

President Likes Dogs,
EUen a YeLiOV Cur DOQ

Harding always liked dogs. Any
kind of dog. Even yellow cur dog.
He likes dogs-pcdigrecd blooded dogs
but chiefly he just likes dogs. Even
now he will stop almost anything he is
doing to read dog story.
\ certain magazine has been running
series of dog stories. Harding reads
them avidly. lie will call off con-
ference. be late for dinner. or miss a
few minutes of golf, to finish the story
of a dog. lie likes all kinds of dogs.
But he likes I.addic Boy best.
Laddic Boy is as much n part of the
Harding household rs Uncle Charlie
Patton whom the President brought
down from Marion to look after the
White House gardens.
The other day Il group OF visitors
were introduced to the President. They
chattcd for a few minutes.
"Wcll, said Harding. "you ve only
shaken hands with the President. You
want to 50" the really important adjunct
of the White House"
And he called in Luddic BOY.
''lf you love me- h" added, you'll
love my dog
IIarding's social life is simple. Now
and then he goes out for dinner at the
home of some intimate. This is not
customary and Is not generally known.
1t is never announced ut the White
House. 1t is only discovered By acci-
dent.

passing by the handsome home of

ticular house i within very few
blocks of the White House. Before
the front entrance, in the full glare of
the street lights, stood the executive
car. The pedestrian, curious, stopped.
In few minutes the door opened, the
President emerged, stepped into the
waiting car, and was driven back to
the White House.

"Laddie Boy" Is Big Part
of Harding Household

If you walked into the White House
one Of these brilliant summer days,
the chances are that you would see,
scampering somewhere about the prem
ises, leggy, bounding Airedale dog.
His name is Laddie Boy.
If you were to stroll out through the
gardens, the chances are that you would
find there, trimming hedges, pruning
rosebushes, working on the flower beds,
Uncle Charlie Patten, of Marion, gar
dener extraordinary to the President of
the United States.
If you were invited to dine at the
White House. and your tastes were
known beforehand, you would be served
your favorite dish as It is only cooked
in two places--the White House and
the Harding home in Marion, Ohio.
Should you saunter over the munich
pal golf links of the national capital
before calling at the White House. 1t is
altogether possible you would find in
knickerbockers, swinging a wicked club,
Warren G. Harding himself.
And IL you were to join the hum
dreds who file past the President of
the United States daily between the
time he knocks off work for the morn
ing and the time he joins Mrs. Hard
ing at luncheon ''over at the house."
YOU would realize. If you had not real
lied 1t before, what all these other
things indicate-just one thing, but
important-that you have an entirely
human President.
Don't misunderstood. This is by
no means reflection on any Presidents
who have gone before. nor upon any
who may come after. The White House
has been occupied successively by men
noted for many qualities.
There have been ntellectuals-men
with giant minds. There have been
sOldiers-men of stalwart courage.
Men with vision. with faith, with
sweetness of character, strong men
and sometimes weak men-men OF
many types. OF them enough, here.
Their record is history and their per-
sonalities are largely legendary.
Other Presidents have come and gone
Warren G. Harding is--here! And, ir

Talk to any one who has spent time
in Washington, to those who live there
to those whose business It is to record
the passing show in Washington. From
all them will come, sooner or later, a
single verdict:
Harding is q regular. honest-to.
goodness person.
The fact that the President is no,

him. He Is an average American, will
