WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-James
]. Davis. Secretary of Labor, is one Of
the most indefatigable workers in the
Cabinet. He is constantly on the
move. and since the strike period be-
gan back in early summer he has been
on the go constantly, comforting with
this raction and that faction, mollify-
ing, suggesting, pleading, threatening
and always arbitrating.
In between times he has found time
to write a book and become the faith
er of the only Cabinet ,baby--a record
not achieved by any of his colleagues
who gather twice a week about the
long mahogany table in the executive
offices. He named the baby Jean.
The book he named THE Iron Pud-
dler." 1t is his autobiography and
tells the story of how. he rose from a
penniless Welsh immigrant boy to a
Cabinet position in the short space Of
thirty years.
At what age is man in his prime
If the United States Senate can be ac-
cepted as any criterion-and there are
many VOciferous opinions to the con-

The average age of the nlnety-slX
members Of the Senate Is 59.2 years.
Eight of them are more than seventy

and sixties.

President Harding recently took to
task some press association cores
pondcnts because they followed him
from the White House to the May
flower to verify the guest list of a
weekend trip. He didn't think the
correspondents should go behind the
formal statement as given out at the
White House. AS it happened the
guest list given out at the White
House was inaccurate and by going to
the boat the reporters got it right.

A reader writes to say that she Is
planning a wedding anniversary ana
that, as a part of the festivities, she
wishes to have dinner at which just
the ones who were in the original wed
ding party should be present. Now 1t
happens that since the wedding one of
the bridesmaids and two of the ushers
have been married. May the ushers
not be asked without their wives and
may the bridesmaid not be asked
without her husband?
No. The invitations should be sent
to the couple in both cases. Not to do
so would be to show real discourtesy
to the persons invited, as well as to
the ones to whom they are married.
However, 1t should be remembered
that married folk, even though hey
are "newlyweds." are not seated next
to each other at parties. They should
not of their own accord seek to mo-
popollze each others society. At a

back TO his forests, after all. He
wouldn't have to throw away his birth

seemed to him no other occupation
could offer so much as that of the for

guardians of the forest and keepers Of

For long time Snowblrd and he
stood together at the edge of the fire

Jackie Rabbit was good hunter
and 1t did not take him long to spy
the tiny mittens hanging on a bush
near the ground.
They were very pretty little mIttens
and Jackie thought they would look
well with his white coat. "The Goblin
won't mind" thought Jackie. II will
just slip them on and run back with
them"
But when he slipped them on his
paws very strange thing happened

second mitten than he began to jump

made in utter silence. The reason was
Just that both breath and nervous
force are needed to shout; and Dan
Failing could afford to waste neither
of these vital forces. He had dropped
to his knee, and was firing again and
again, his gray eyes looking clear and
straight along the barrel, his fingers
without jerk or tremOr pressing again
and again at the trigger his hands
holding the rifle as In a wise. Every
nerve and muscle were completely in
his command. The distance was far.
yet he shot with deadly, amazing ac-
curacy. The wolves were within few
feet of the girl, and fractions waver
in the gun barrel might have sped his
bullet toward her.

as the fourth wolf died.
Then Snowbird snatched her pistol
from her fathers hand and opened fire.
The two shells were no longer needed
to free herself and her father from the
agony of fangs. She took careful aim,
and although pistol is never as ac-
curate or as powerful as a rifle she
killed one wolf and wounded another.
FrenZied In their savagery, three or
four of the remaining wolves leaped
at the body of one Of the wounded !;
but the others scattered In all direc-
lions. Still Dan fired with the same I'M
believable accuracy, and still the
wolves died In the snow. The girl
and the man were screaming now in
the frenZied JOY of deliverance. The
wolves scurried frantically among the
trees; and some Of them unknowingly
ran full In the face of their epemy, to
be shot down without mercy. And
few indeed were those that escaped
to collect on distant ridge, and, per-
haps, to be haunted in dream by
death that came out of the shadows to
blast the pack.

spairing and strange in the winter

the oldest bell In the United States.

1915 Is still plainly visible in the pho.

BY this date, however, the old bell

KTiIVER send any sort of formal In

it is not in good form to invite either
Il husband Or wife to formal party
without inviting the other when per
sons of both sexes are invited. IL you
ore giving tea for your daughter
and no men are invited, then you may
invite Mrs. Brown and not Mr.. Brown.
II Is not customary to ask man or
woman to be your house guest with

the invitation. You would hardly ask
Il man to spend weekend 1t your
hone without asking his wife: also.
unless because of absence from town
or some other reason 1t was quite
patent that she could not be present.
Never ask husband or wife to
dinner party where both sexes are
present without asking the other. Sup
pose Mr.. Brown belongs to musical
club, to which musical folk Of both
sexes belong, end the members Of Thu
club give dinner. If Mr.. Brown has
a wife, then she should be invited, and
