didates fer the presidency as re-
suit of this years campaign. AS mat
tiers stand now it is generally assumed
that President Harding will be a cam
didate to succeed himself and that he
will be nominated. It would be ex-
tremely unusual if that did not hap
pen.
However, traditions and presidents
have had a way of getting upset in
recent years and not even the wisest
of the wise would undertake to say
that the unexpected would not hap
pen. Mr.. Harding may decide that
one term is all he wants, or politics
may take such a turn that it will be-
come apparent that his denomination
is not to be conceded.
In either of such contingencies the
1ikeliest candidates for the hohor
would be those Republicans who make
the strongest showing this year. Bev-
many people by defeating, Harry S.
New for the senatorial nomination,
may well be one of these. Pinchot,
who upset the Republican organiza-
TONS apple cart in Pennsylvania, may
be another.
Still another possibility is Senator
La Toilette. who won a notable vic
tory in the Wisconsin primary and
who is not likely to stand on tradi-
ton or precedent if he concludes that
1924 is good year for him to make
another bid for presidential honors.
Senator Hiram Johnson of California
likewise is one of those who are run
ming this year in what might prove
to be a preliminary canter for the
next big race.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON


Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am fifteen
years old and l am in the grade school.
Do you think that am old enough to
work out?
Also, can there be anything done
for bow legs? I wear my dresses just
about down to my shoe tops. Do you
think they are too long? 1 wear them
long on account of my legs. One Is
much larger than the other.
I have a boy friend. Could you tell
me something that would be nice for
Christmas present for him? 4
thought a crocheted tie would be nice.
Your advice will be appreciated.
BROWN EYES.
You are not old enough to leave
school to work but there is no law
against your having a little work out
side school hours.
Gymnasium work might help TO
strafghten your legs. Do not worry
because of your defect. Hardly any,
one is perfect in beauty. You are very
wise. however. in wearing your skirts
so that your legs do not show.
y is not necessary to give the boy
q present. II you are very anxious
to do so, however, I am sure he would
appreciate the tie.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Kindly state
a good hand lotion. My hands chap
from being in water so much.
WHEY.
Glycerin, one ounce. bay rum, two
ounces; carbolic acid. twenty drops.

In the Koran you will find this
couplet:
''I was as a gem concealed:
Me my burning ray revealed"
That which is hidden away from us.
that which is full of mystery, that
which is yelled from our reach in
some waiting possibility-makes striv-
ers of us ALL
Our possible friends are passed un-
noticed on the street, and most for
tunes are dreamed away long before
any effort is made to earn them into
reality.
J But there they are-your friends,
your fortune. your fame. the chief de-
sire of your heart, no matter what il
may. be, existing in form and only
waiting upon you to initiate them in
to substance.
Soon or later, there arises in the
heart of every human being a great
and unusual desire to be something
more than the misunderstanding
higher than is represented by the av-
erage effort of the average day.
And so it is that there are those
who leave beaten paths. old haunts.
and unsatisfied desires, to blaze a path
that fits their will.
what you want. yed will have to
dig for-not merely wish to have.
But when you have dug and won.
you will thrill with the pride OF own
ership. Only do not stop there. Know
that greater thrill of pride which
comes from distribution, from the CIV
ing away of that which you have hon
estly and enthusiastically earned.
Every human being, at birth. is "as
gem concealed" And often IT is
only after long years of patient wait
ing that ones soul catches warmth
from some burning ray within, tell
ing one about ones self as one is and
as one is able to be.
If you want successful career You
will have to GO about it as the miner
does when he digs for gold or dia-
monds. So
And your best friends must some
how be mined" too! You will have
to get below their surface and even
do much of the real polishin< of their
| gem worth yourself, before they will
shine back to you and satisfy you

THE NEAR EAST SETTLEMENT

The terms of settlement of the
Near East problem are such as should
cause the United States to permit Eu-
rope to hoe her own row in the fu-
ture. European diplomacy is consid-
crate OF nothing but commercial bene-
fits.
1t may perhaps be taken too much
fora granted to, assume>tnat the Mu-
DANA conference will be productive
of a permanent settlement of the So
called Balkan question. There are
too many conflicting ambitions and
too many deep-seated antagonisms to
expect final or adequate adjustment.
1t does seem, however, as If danger
OF an immediate general embodiment
in war had been averted.a
The truth is that the Turk has been
bluffed into seeming acquiescence
in the demands of the allies. But he
is merely biding his time. He will
be heard from later in the same old
way.
In all probability there IS no phase
of International politics tnat is SO
fraught with uncertainty and sudden
changes as that embracing the actiy-
tiles of nations in that section of the
globe known as the Near East. The
Balkan question for many years has
been to Europe a powder key danger
ously near a lighted match. The
racial, religious and national mixtures
concentrated in southeastern Europe
and Asia Minor have been fruitful of
hatreds and jealousies which have
been made all the more acute by the
rivalry for the possession, or at least
the control. of Constantinople and the
Dardanelles.
In every consideration of the Near
East problem there is always Russia
to be reckoned with. A combination
of the Slav and the Turk could make
it extremely unpleasant Tor the rest
of Europe at any time. The watch
on the Rhine seems to have been su-
perseded by the watch on the Darda-
| nelles, with England in the role of
watcher.
