THE WOMAN OF POIsE.

Once a rarity, is now to be observed
and admired upon every hand. IN
deed, no other woman can flourish
long in the midst of this modern,
complicated life. In the home, in
business, in social life. the woman
who is serene and confident wins,
while the nervous, flustered individual
wastes her talents and gets nowhere.
OF course, poise is dependent mainly
upon sound health and steady nerves.

Elliott's Clearcut Victory

Representative Elliott has won clearcut vic
tory in the face of the first opposition he has
ever encountered in primary since his election
to office 1t has been hard to understand what
motives actuated the men who came out against
him in the recent primary campaign, unless it
was part of the hidden fight that has been go
ing on all over Indiana for control of the Repub-
lican organization between the Watson forces on
one side and the Goodrich men on the other.
Mr. Elliott has made an enviable record in
congress for attending to his own business and
trying to the best of his ability to represent the
interests of his constituency. He has not been
flashy, brilliant" as his opponents put it, but
he has been steadily on the job as many citi-
ems over the district know from personal expert
ence.
It is refreshing to find part at least of the
electorate of Indiana grateful for the work of a
public servant Elliott's overwhelming victory
at the polls Tuesday showed that the voters OF
the Sixth district are mindful of his endeavors
in their behalf. It is safe to look forward to a
similar victory at the election in November

executive He is, however, an honest, level
headed, matter of fact, man.
A campaign between Beverage and Ralston
for senatorial honors, from the standpoint OF
legislative ability and intellectual keenness, will
be decided in favor of Beverage. If Ralston
gains strength, as has been stated in some quar-
tiers, because of the support Beverage received
from pro-German quarters, it must be realized
that that support in the past largely has been
with the Democratic party and will be lacking to
that side in this campaign. One is apt to offset
the other.
The administration will naturally support
Beveridge's candidacy. Beveridge swore fealty
to President Harding during the primary cam
paign and there is no reason to believe the presi-
dent will refuse to take him at his word. The
campaign from this time hence will be combi-
nation of upholding the record of the admins
tration and those personal touches that only
Beveridge knows how to interject into politics.

The Senatorial Primary

The victory of Beveridge over Senator New
came as distinct surprise to many in Indiana,
who felt sure that News splendid record in the
senate, especially during the trying war period,
would assure him denomination. Beverage,
however, as the Chicago Tribune explains, has
been campaigning for two years while New has
been tied down by official duties at Washington,
and, knowing the peculiar psychology of middle
westerners, he has been making an appeal for
votes largely on the grounds of the ethics he has
been preaching.
News war record hurt his chances with many
Indiana voters of foreign descent. 1t has been
noticeable in Richmond as we'll as in all other
parts of the state that men who were openly pro-
German before, and some during, the war, many
of them Democrats, were lined up solidly for
Beveridge While this does not necessarily indi-
cate any understanding between Beveridge and
the foreign forces that have been too powerful
in American politics in the past it does show that
he benefited by being out of the political arena
during the war. He has escaped the political
animosites that men like New have had to Shout
der while being loyal public servants to the coun-
try of their birth.
Ralston's victory on the Democratic side of
the primary was so overwhelming that it leaves
little to be said. One opponent, Major Sanders
had a wet plank in his platform and polled a
negligible vote. This would indicate that the
Democratic electorate of Indiana considers the
wet issue removed from politics in favor of the
drys. Ralston served one term as governor OF
the state and proved to be rather mediocre

When the performer places the coin

palms well together, so that the coin
does not turn over. Then, with the
muscles Of the lower hand he contrives
to bring the coin on edge, a position
