There was plenty going on every
minute, and the surroundings We're
lovely But the high light of the
evening, the feature for which every
body seemed to be waiting. was the
presentation of Mrs. Edouard Albion's
ballet. THE Pipes of Pam" by Paul
Tchernikoff and Elizabeth Gardiner, as
sisted by a chorus of peasants and
nymphs. 1t was given in lovely
woodland amphitheater, with giant trees
for a back drop, and the stage silvered
by moonlight. 1t presented in panto-
mime a pretty tale of Pan bringing
youth and happiness to an aged musi-
clan, and was artistic in conception ana
delightful in execution-by common
consent the feature of an uncommonly
successful evening.

time and thought and energy.
She was, for instance. enthusiastically
interested In the lovely autumn fete
given at the end of last week for the
Woman's Welfare Association out at
Pembroke Park, the Alfred Pembroke
Thoms's lovely place on Pierce Mill
road. That was the first general rally
OF Washington's social forces for the
season of 1923, and was altogether
enchanting and successful, because the
weather, which had been clear and dry
so long that 1t didn't seem as If 1t could
possibly hold out any longer, actually
held for the party. and broke all to
pieces Immediately afterward.
That came too late for me to tell you
about ii last week and 1t was such a
delightful affair that don't want to
pass it over altogether. Pembroke Park

place, but it Is big enough, and it has
lovely lawns and fine trees and shrub

weather Is propitious. And they must
have had the weather man subsidized.
Everything was quite perfect, even to

not recall that she was mentioned in
connection with the fete at Pembroke
Park, though both Mrs. Hubert Work
and Mrs. Henry G. Wallace were inter
ested and were In the group Of hostesses
either In the afternoon or evening.
There were all sorts of booths-all the
usual attractions of such a fete-and a
few more--but bridge seemed to be
really the most popular Of the after
moons diversions. There was light
supper served-with 'hot dogs" as the
piece de resistance-for those who
wanted to remain over until the evening.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. IA.
LOwLY. as society returns to
town, the season is getting un-
~ der way People are making
their winter plans, and announcing
dates pretty well up into December,
and in spite of the fact that home
grown officia!dom is more or less con-
atandy on the go, being interested
in and greatly IN demand for the
different State campaigns. and that
the diplomatic set has not yet very
thoroughly settled in winter quarters
there is quite enough doing TO keep
one fairly busy The week just past
has been really quite active--in quiet
way. There have been no big or bril-
liant private parties-but there have
been plenty of small ones-the getting
together Of three or four at luncheon,
or ten or q dozen az a quiet little din
zer, at which summer experiences are
recounted and winter plans made.
The annual conference of the Amer
Jean Red Cross has been in session, and
that always brings n number OF impor-
tant people from all over the country,
and this year has brought quite q few
from overseas. because the American
Red Cross has been of necessity very
busy relieving the sufferings Of Eu-
rope. There is always one big recep-
ton during this annual meeting. at
which the diplomats and American
officials are equally in evidence; and
there is always good deal OF private
entertaining for the delegates TO the
conference.
Then about the time the Red Cross
Conference was ending the American
Child Hygiene Association (of which
Herbert Hoover, Secretary OF Com
nerce, is the retiring president and

president OF Cornell University, is the

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION

That is the joyful cry Of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician
fer II years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping IS the "keynote" of these

ISSUES

Inc DfeinulUS Cl inc heCOnu lHOutl J
Of tho new year brings nearer the in
eyltable political campaigns of even
years, and there seems to be a ten
dency in tho state today toward com
hitting candidates to certain definite
policies, which we call Issues" al
though the term is not especially de-
scriptye
The year is young. but already
things are shaping toward certain
ends;
J. Definite plans for reducing state
expenditures;
2. Demands for better roads than
ordinary gravel surface offers;
3. Better trained and better pad
teachers;
4. Curtailmeut Of state activities,
or at leaJt pledges that no further ex-
tensions will be undertaken
lt'might fairly be charged that these
propositions are discordant-that the
first and fourth cannot be harmonized
with the second and third-and there
is some. truth in such an allegation,
is a reasonable middle ground where
but most people seem to feel that there
is a reasonable middle ground where
better roads and better schools can be
had without increasing the burden on
tho taxpayer
1t may be so, but the history OF the
state does not lend much encourage
merit 10 such hopes. improvements
have always cost money and a great
deal Of money has often been spent
without much Improvement When,
therefor. the legislator finds himself
between the mandates for economy,
express or implied, received from his
own constituents, and the steady
pressure Of other interests that de-
sire connection with the state treas.
ury. what sort OF safeguards should
be placed around him?
Thanks to the frank utterances Of
experienced legislators and some
newspapers. certain definite proposi-
TONS are even now open for discus
sion.
/. Executive budget. consisting Of
a business statement of the states
financial condition and needs, to be
presented by the incoming governor
in his inaugural and given right Of

H. Repeal OF all laws carrying

all appropriations to be made for one
year only, 10 be 20 stated and included
in budget;
III. All special appropriations to
be passed on in separate bills;
". Consolidation OF certain depart
ments and state activities for the pur-
pose OF eliminating duplication and
reducing overhead;
" Reduction of all salaries paid
to holders OF Offices for which there is
an unreasonable competition;
VI Horizontal cut in all state ex'
penses to bring state tax for the next
biennial period Down to or below fifty
cents;
VII. No bond issue for hard sur
faced roads.
These propositions, excepting the
last. are practically all opposed by
ofncoholders, heads OF departments
beneficiaries OF special privileges
stand.patters who believe in the status
quo and all others who have found a
large and widely distributed depart
ment useful in political propagation
The Herald does not believe that all
of these issues will lecome active oil
that they viii all be decided in the af
flrmat.ye. 1t merely sums up few
OF the most important and there are
many others with the intention OF
bringing them before the people fol

candidates, would-be candidates, pres.
ent or past state officers. newspapers
and others interested the better it
will be for the taxpayer year, two
years, perhaps four years, from now.
In fact, the Herald will state frankly
that unless these issues are met and
adjusted, the state will go on to addi-
tional and unchecked expense so that
a state tax of one dollar or its equi-
valent will have to be levied-not for
two years, but for each year!
Such. at least, Is the opinion of those
who have given some attention to the
statements Of the auditor and have
marked the tendency of recent legis-
latures. It is not only case OF stop
ping srther state expense; II comes TO
a direct cut somewhere.-Ru Rutland

zens; Weeds and Grass
Cut During Campaign.

The people of Ardmore have respond
ed well TO the notice sent out last
week for the cutting OF weeds, accord
ing to DR.. A. Y. Easterwood, city ply
sician. Inspection shows that pracu-
cally all weeds have been cut, those
remaining on vacant lots and in alleys.
On unoccupied lots where the name
Of the owner was known personal calls
were made and in every case the weeds
We're cut Immediately. The only ones
remaining are those, Of which the own
ers name could not be learned How
ever these weeds will be cut by the
city and as soon as the names are
found complaints will be filed against
them.
Dr. Easterwood stated that he had
noted great Improvement in the sani-
tary conditions of the city in the past
week and that in general the business
houses had cleaned up breeding places
for flies and mosquitoes. The flies do
not seem as bad this year as in former
years but with such hot weather and
unsanitary garbage cans they will be
more than plentiful. Property owners
have needed the call and holes that
