THE BETTER MAN
C.-CAMILLE'S DINNER COMPANION
By BRIGGS

Copyright, 1921. by the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

these days that I'm certain she's fallen desperately in love! Under the influence of the disturbing passion, one does have visions, don't you know? But it's a shame to draw attention to it."
 Her tone was bantering, and her glance carelessly amused. But Ca mile knew that her friends white little paws had reached out and de- livered a deliberate scratch.
 Elliot Glyn was sitting near, and had heard this interchange of humor, which made matters worse.
 Reggie went on, in low tone that yet contrived to carry to the other mans ears:
 Don't tell me that someone else has cut me out with you, Camillel That would be the worst news I can hear. Don't you remember, up at Gilchrenan Lodge-" Here he dropped his voice so that their mu- tual memories could be overheard by no one else, not even Glyn.
 At first, Camille felt wretched. Then, later, secure in the fact that Glyn loved her and she loved him, to the exclusion of all other men, she could listen to Reggies nonsense in half-abstraeted way, and with a fleeting, careless smile on her pretty little face.
 For she was happy, even though Van Tuyl had cropped upon her path again.

PREDICT SHAKE-UP
 INDEPARTMENT OF
 INTERNAL REVENUE
Government Behind in CoIIec- ton of TaxeS-DemocratS Claim Jobs Are Being Cre-
 ated for Republicans
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The AEe-Herala.
 800 Davidson Building.

Washington, April 5.-(Special.)-- There is to be complete revision of the personnel of the internal revenue and customs division of the treasury department.
 It will be as quickly brought about as unceremoniously precipitated. as was the revision last week of the government bureau of printing and engraving.
 It is said that certain men in high positions will be decapitated. One mentioned is F. IT. Batson, in charge of the income tax department. The reason given is that the government is far behind in the collection of revenue. The tax depar rtment is working on the income returns of 19IS-is, in other words, four years behind. Several hundreds of millions of dollars is due the government. it until the department has completed its bookkeeping.
 It is claimed that one man owes the government $90. 900. has the check written, and cannot turn 1t over be- ecause the government is not in posi- \ tion to give him receipt in full.
 sDeserving" Republicans
 Despite the fact that the foregoing will materialize, in all probability, and will tend to remove the impress sion that President Harding. in sweeping out the bureau of printing and engraving. was animated by po- litical reasons and in response to the Ndaify cry of republican congressman that places be made for deserving" republicans. democrats will not relent in their bitter criticism.
 The head of the bureau was James L. Wilmeth, a native of Tennessee. ac- credited in the civil service to Ar kansas, and rated asa democrat He was notified of his dismissal late one afternoon and given only two hours in which to remove his per sonal effects. The. law regarding civil service procedure requires that be- fore a man can be dismissed he must be served with charges against him. Wilmeth was not so served.

Senator Must First Face EIeC- torate of Nebraska This FaII-Pomerene Is Also
 Mentioned
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washing ton Bureau, The AEe-HeraId,
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, April 5.-(Special.)- The tentative candidacy of Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock of Nebraska. for the democratic presidential nom ination, is projected today.
 The projection" is tentative be- cause of the necessity of the Senator facing the electorate of Nebraska the coming fall In the primary. he will have no opposition. In the general election, however, the indications are that he will have his hands full.
 If he is reelected (and it is said the odds favor him), he will go 70 the next democratic convention with the Nebraska delegation behind him, and probably the delegations of other western states. For he will base his claim on the fact that since the re- tirement of William J. Bryan from Nebraska, and the death of Champ Clark, he is the most conspicuous democrat in that west which is be- yond the Mississippi river. As the democratic nominee will need several states beyond the Mississippi the claim of Hitchcock, it is indicated, will not be entirely ignored.
 In the meanwhile, he must win the senatorial election. He served three terms in the House, and is com- pleting a second term in the Senate. Tn 1916 he carried Nebraska over three opponents by a vote which lacked only 132 of being complete majority. But in 1920. Warren G.. Harding carried Nebraska by a ma jority of approximately 125,0oo
 Efforts For League
 Senator Hitchcock's most con- spicuous service in the Senate was rendered in the futile effort to put through the Senate the Woodrow Wilson conception of a League of Nations. His leadership, however, was not only unsuccessful, but was subjected to criticism. He was charged with having been too -un- bending, too indisposed to compro- mise. There are those in the Sen ate today who believe that in spite of the highly partisan procedure of the republican leader, Senator Lodge, the Versailles treaty could have been ratified had the administration and Senator Hitchcock agreed to arbi- trate differences.
 During that fight, Senator Hitch cock was acting democratic leader in

The story thus far:


 Camille Westbrook has gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer, her little butterfly friend, who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn, in love with Camille, has made the trip with them. Camille has in her possession a valuable ring which she has accepted as security for a loan from Reggie Van Tuyl, a young man about town always in financial difficulties On shipboard and in South Africa attempts are made to get the ring from her. and on the lawn after dinner at Lady Kilmor- ny's at Durban Camille one night thinks she sees Reggies face through the hedge. Elliot sees her push through the hedge to investigate and thinks she is meeting Regige and is hurt. However, they make matters up later on and then start on a motor ride through the Valley of a Thousand Hills to the home of a widower, a friend of Elliot's. Just as they are about to go into dinner that night late guest, who is to be Camille's partner, arrives. It is Reggie Van Tuyl
 Reginald Van Tuyl strode into the drawing room as though he owned the place.
 He greeted his host with an airy apology for being late, and then hearing Dolly Mortimer's startled ejaculation he swung round and keld out a careless hand to her.
 How do, Dolly? Didn't expect to see me, did you? But I warned you r tA fn1- low you and Camille out here" His smile was charming, frank and free. "'Smatter of fact I sailed on the beat that left England one week after yours, and We docked in Dur ban early this morning. l called at the Royal and learnt that you'd just motored off to Pietermaritzburg, so I caught the first available train, and-me voici--here l am"
 Dolly was tremendously flattered, the more especially as the two at tentive Durban men, and indeed most of the other guests, had heard this frank avowal.
 What a tribute it was to her charms!
 "Wili you take Miss westbrook down to dinnerT' The host inter rupted his vis-a-vis's delighted ejac- ulations.
 Reggie turned and sought Camille. who was so taken aback that she was almost tongue-tied.
 They were seated at the dinner table before she found her voice.
 50 you've only just landed in South Africa?"
 "Yes.. This morning. live missed you terribly, Camille" His eyes met hers unflinchingly. His tones were low, and--so he hoped-pregnant with meaning.
 Camille nibbied a salted almond. There was no answering gleam in her dark eyes.
 That seems rather odd. l could among the stokers. And then again, about a week ago, in Durban."
 The debonair one gave a hilarious laugh.
 "Ha. Ha. That's good joke. isn't it Did you get a touch of the sun in the tropics?" He smiled at Ca mille as though she were a foolish and imaginative child. Then, lean ing towards Dolly, who. seated at the circular table, was three places removed from Camille and himself: q say, Dolly. Camille's been seeing ghosts and tropical mirages, and all that sort of thing! Why don't you take better care of her?
 Mrs. Mortimer's response was char acteristic. She was rather ruffled that this public notice should be taken of her friend.

 For Presidency Projected

place of Senator Martin of Virginia, deceased Before it's conclusion. the democrats in caucus defeated Hitch cock in an effort to be made leader.
 The projected candidacy of Hitch cock for the presidency, recalls the fact that an outstanding candidate may be developed as result of the elections. If Senator Pomerene of Ohio is reelected despite the claim on Ohio exercised by the President, he will be a formidable applicant for the nomination. In the meantime. ex-Governor James M Cox is ten- tative applicant for the nomination. and will enter the convention with many delegates, it is indicated. Sem ator Underwood of Alabama, is mem toned despite the general impress sion that because the south seeded from the union in 1861 it is not en- titled to a candidate

time. gave the impression that seri- ous charges would be brought against Wilmeth. Because of the im- pression left, the President is crit icised. Wilmeth states that while he does not deplore the loss of his job he deplores and resents the effort of the President to take from him his good name.
 Partisan Debate
 Senator Caraway of Arkansas, brought the matter to the attention of the Senate. and for several days Q highly partisan debate ragged.
 Democrats contend that the Pres ident cleared outn the bureau of printing to make berths for repub- licans. They contend that because of the demand of republicans for jobs, as many other democrats as possible will be removed, and that as result, ~the President will make a scrap of paper of civil service laws and reg ulations.
 Republicans on the other hand, con- tend that the President is moving for "the good of the service" They point out the alleged fact that E. H. Batson, in charge of the income tax department. whose head is scheduled to fall, is a republican.

Questions and Answer.

 Questions nnd Answers Q.-Where can procure the seed or plant of the Ponderosa lemon !? I. T.
 Al would advise the purchase of plant as the seed are difficult. Try the different Birmingham florists. if they don't have 1t, any seed store store would order you one from a nursery.
 Q.-I have room for only one dahiia, which would you plant? :? Miss K
 A.-There are literally thousands of good varieties in every type, but good one, and well adapted to Bir- mingham is Mrs. Hugh Dickson. A variety of striking dark foliage, large l free bloomer, decorative type, color deep salmon pink with bronze shadings towards center, long stiff stems, flowers very lasting and con tinue until very cold weather. Bulbs are not expensive. Q.-Can l root privet now? T. Mic. A.-You can root both the Cali tornia and Amoor river privet in this climate practically every month in the year.
 ,, Q.-Is sweet milk that has become soured good for chickens? P. B. Alt certainly is. Many women who have poultry will pour in the sink sweet milk that has become sour, when it is the most valuable food for all poultry. Q.-Will you please tell me through The Age-Herald why my roses are always blighted and suggest some remedy? Mrs. w M J. A.-Many things may cause blight and the trouble could arise from root disease, and again, insects and cer- train fungi may produce a condition generally termed blight. The plants should be sprayed at once with Bor- deaux mixture and there is prepar- ation, blight and bug mixture, that combines several agents and likely to prove highly desirable. It would be a good plan to cut away some of the older growth which would relieve the root system from oyerburdens and induce new growth. It may be necessary to take up next fall and remove all diseased and dead roots and reset in new soil Q.-My potted ferns seem to be dy- ing. What should be done and would changing the soil help? S. c. A.-Remove all dead or decaying branches, take out two or three inches of soil and refill with good rich woods earth up to the crown.
  and apply a mulch. of well decayed animal manure and keep in warm, shady place for a time. The trouble, of course, may be a root disease or worms or insects in the soil, which would involve repotting in rich vir- gin soil, containing a lot of vege- table matter and moderate amount of l sand. Thorough drainage is essen l tial.
 Q.-What is the best early white field corn of good size for bread and | feed? W. B. P.
 A.-The Snowflake is one of the most desirable.
 Q.-Is there bush variety of vel vet bean?
 | A.-There is bush variety but not strictly bush as a bunch snap bean The variety makes a compact growth, | throwing out numerous branches or half runners, and is very desirable where long runners are not wanted
