Labor is plentiful in some sections,
scarce in others. The matter of OBJ
tanning money for construction is the
most difficult problem of all 1t is
not that money seems to be so high
in price as that it is hard to get,
particularly in the agricultural sec
tions. Good likelihoods of con-
struction lie in, the central west and
the extreme east. s. Low price of
corn has a deterrent effect upon prob
able building in surplus corn states
of the middle west. Apparently
when construction gets well under
way it will comprehend a great many
dwelling houses in its purpose and in
tent; this because of the supreme ne
cessity of more adequate housing al
most everywhere. Few things
tend to hasten the return of better
times than the building industry.
Things used in the building of dwell
ing houses call upon practically all
the industries of the country for their
products A general and far-reaching
construction program in this country
during 1922 is the best possible har-
binger of return to more prosperous
conditions"
The late Senator Boise Penrose was
a Washington institution. AS many
stories are told of him in the capital
as of another famous senator. John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi. The
Pennsylvania was a man of few
words but no man in the senate was
better equipped to take part in rough
and tumble debate. His sarcasm was
whitening. A few years ago Penrose
had tilt with j. Ham Lewis, at that
time a senator from Illinois. Lewis
was known to fame for his pink whis-
kers and his ready wit He was
tempted TO twit Penrose upon his port
ly form. 1T is true Penrose retorted
that | am in the full vigor of my
| manhood and do not have to resort to
| dyestuffs to make an appearance"

One delightful day last fall Penrose
asked Senator Watson of Indiana to
go for drive in the famous red tour
ing car of which Penrose was SO fond. |
Senator Watson said that the first
words Penrose spoke on that trip were
uttered in Baltimore when he said to
the driver, go on to Philadelphia.
Arriving there Penrose again broke
his silence. Drive back to Washing
ton,' he said to the driver. When the
car stopped in front of Watsons home
the Indiana senator said that he had
enjoyed the ride, then for third time
Penrose unsealed his lips, but then
merely to eject a grunt of acknowl-
edgement. He had his moods. For
days he would maintain profound
silence. At other times he was almost
garrulous Few loved the man, many
admired him
Elements of Greatness
Those who were closest to Penrose
recognized that he had many elements
of greatness. He made no effort at
pretense; he never excused his faults
or follies. He had a great contempt
for hypocrisy. His life was a lonely
one, his pleasures few and his wants
were simple. Political battle, in which
he asked no quarter and gave none,
gave him his greatest enjoyment. And,
| his friends say, he had deep love for
his country. He gloated over the fact
that he had mo international mind"
He was opposed to the selection of
Hughes for secretary of state, but ac-
copied him for the sake of party har-
mony. He was once asked whom he
thought would make a good secretary
of state. IF we had power to resur-
rect the dead" he replied, Buffalo Bill
would be my choice. There was
real, red-blooded American. That's
what we need at the state depart
ment."
! 1t is said that the last few months
marked change in Penrose's attitude
| toward Secretary Hughes.

Something to

r. all the memory courses and

vertised in the magazines seem to
be designed for men only? The
ladies-bless 'em-aren't troubled
with addingto their brain capacity,
because they can always remember
what they want to, and what they
don't want to they're perfectly will

Perhaps a woman doesn't mind
having poor noncompliance
it's one Of the things that doesn't
show. She can devote hours to
her eyebrows, and consider the
time we'll spent, but any little de-
fects in the region behind them
doesn't worry her.
The fact that only men are lured
into memory courses would seem
to prove that the feminine memory
can't be trained. AS a matter OF
fact 1t doesn't need any training.
But every married man will tel
you-in a low voice! SO that his
wife won't overhear-that her
memory is the one thing about a
woman which never skips.
After all. marriage itself is large
ly an indication Of the superior
memory powers of the woman. A
man says something on moon
light night, and the woman never
lets him forget 1t.

ory in a family is enough. Two
