WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, July 29.-Mrs. Hard
ing, wife Of the President, paid a
visit to Walter Reed Hospital this
week and greeted a number of the
wounded and sick veterans recuperat-
ing at the institution.
After she had been on her rounds
she was accosted by half dozen
news photographers who hang around
the White House.
~ know a good deal about the
newspaper business myself" said
Mrs. Harding, "and although | am the
wife of the President Of the United
States. | am also somewhat curious.
! would like to know how in the
world you men knew | was coming
out here? | did not tell anyone at
the White House that | intended TAX
ing this little trip"
The photographers were somewhat
embarrassed at the query but finally
one of them explained that they had
seen her car drive up in front of the
White House and they had simply
followed it when it swept through
the grounds of the Executive Man
sion.
"This is the solution of the mys-
terry" said one of the photographers
and Mrs. Harding smiled.
One Of the first rules for Ameri-
can business houses trying to build up
their foreign trade is not to address
their correspondent as Mr. Casilla de
Correos. Translated this means Mr..
Postoffice Box. The phrase is often
found at the end Of letter and more
than once has been mistaken by Anne
rican firms as a mans name.
Errors of ignorance are probably
responsible for the loss of consider
able amount of foreign trade. it is
revealed by the division of foreign
mails of the Postoffice Department.
One of the chief errors to guard
against in addressing foreign cores
pondents, according to these officials,
is abbreviating. Authorizations COM
mon to America and English speak
ing nations are not necessarily com
mon to other countries. The initials
F. o. B. and c. o. D. are apt to leave
the foreign merchant mystified.
Everything should be written, lb.
should be pounds. BIB. should be bar
rels VT. should be weight and cwt.
should be spelled out hundred weight.
The American consul at Alden, Ar
abba, reports to the Department of
Commerce that the inhabitants of this
district have a perpetual craving for
drinks. not those of intoxicating
qualities, however, as their religion
forbids its adherents from indulging
in such, but those of the soft drink
variety. AS the habit among the ma
tives of this hot, dry. parching coun-
try of imbibing foreign made drinks
is increasing the consul states that
the district furnishes American sirup
producers an attractive opening to a
/ field which has considerable possibili-
ties.

turers of shoe polish seeking foreign
markets for their wares might Just
as well pass I'D the country Of Peru
where "shines" are practically un-
known, the Department of Commerce
is informed by its representative
there.
Such a condition is to be expect
ed the Department points out in a
country such as Peru due to the fact
that the major portion of the popu-
lation are Indians who wear no shoes
and therefore have no use for such

 The enterprise displayed by the lady members of the Civic organiZa- tion is commendaDie. The town has. for long time, needed q pavil- ion structure along thu order of the one planned and socn to be com pleted and its erection doubtless will meet with much favor.
 This evening the local band, un- der the leadership of Vernon liar rington who has demonstrated rare ability as an instructor and has pro- vided the city with the best musical organization in the towns history will conduct a concert upon the site of the pavilion.
 Prosecuting AttL ney Cecil Shane on behalf of the membership of the Civic Club, will address the audience gathered there to listen to the music. MT. Shane will explain how faithful ly the enterprising members of the local Civic club have labored to add touches of bqeuty and comfort to the city and, Accidentally, ask of the citizens to exhibit liberally or purse in helping to defray costs of some of the things they are doing, one of which is providing the beau tiful pavilion that soon will grace the City Hall lot,
 In connection with the work the women of the club have done for the betterment and beautifying of the city, it may be pointed out that they have completed arrangements for the erection of beautiful gate to Linwood cemetery. They have raised the funds, amounting to ap- proximately $6oO.oO. and the three gates have been ordered out of

PARACOULD CIVIC CLUB ACTIVE
 IN MAKING IMPROVEMENTS FOR
 CITY; BAND STAND TO BE BUILT

Cincinnati and are supposed to be enroute and should reach Paragould in about ten days. The three gates consist of one large driveway gate, with a walk-way gate on each side The principal gate will bear the lettering "Linwood Cemetery" while the two smaller ones will be adorn- ed with the lettering of 1922" The whole scheme will be support ed by two massive stone columns, giving to the entrance of the ceme- tery most imposing view It is said the gate design is one of the handsomest to be observed anywhere.
 Such work of improvement should enlist the interest," and support of every enterprising citizen. The women constituting the membership tireless in their efforts to do some thing really worth while for the community and certainly deserve hearty encouragement. The treas uror is Mrs. Otho Fisher and she will at all times be glad of the oppor- tunity to receipt for whatever con- tributions citizens may feel disposed to offer the club.
 NN In building the band pavilion" many enterprising business concerns of the city have offered to donate material for its costruction, but some money contributions will be required to make the undertaking complete.

Blytheville Newspaper Says Family is Distracted Disappeared in
 Memphis.
(From Saturdays Daily)

T. k. Griffin, former Paragould cotton dealer, is yet mysteriOusly from his home in Blythe vile. Nothing has been heard from the man since he bade his family goodbye on Friday of last week, when he boarded a Frisco train in his home town for Memphis. The Blytheville Courier, in it's issue of Thursday, August 10th, says:
 ''T. E. Griffin, well known cotton buyer, has been missing from home since Friday and his wife and daugh- ter fear his mind is deranged.
 He left on the early Frisco train Friday morning for Memphis, telling his family he was going to purchase car. Mrs Griffin endeavored to dissuade him, wanting him to wait till later in the fall, when business is better, but he insisted. She says he had been acting strangely for some time, and a trip to Texas was taken by them in the hope he would improve, but he did not.
 He wrote his wife a letter before leaving and mailed it in Memphis, which spoke of financial difficulties and suggested ending his life. De- tectyes have been working on the
