Senator Sterling Hopes for
Action on His Measure the
Coming Session.

President Harding will favor the
sterling -Lehlbach reclassification
Dill, Senator Sterling said he had
reason TO believe, today.
Confidence was expressed by him
that the President would include
the Redistribution bill In the list
or measures which he will recon-
mend for enactment at the com ng
session OF Congress.
Senator Sterling recently called
upon the President and discussed
reclassification with him.
IL Is hoped that the President

and the reclassification measure as
twin measures" for the improve
ment OF the Government service.
THESE bills could be considered joint
y by Congress. one being more or
less supplemental to the other.
The drive for reclassification leg
isiation inaugurated by the Fedora
ton Of Federal Employees meets
with approval in Congressional cir
cles. 1t is expected that the petit
ton sent to President Harding will
have a good effect.
IL the President says the word.
the friends of reclassification are
confident that they can drive
through the Sterling Lehlbach bill
at the coming short session of Con-
gress, despite the opposition of Sen
ator Smoot, Congressman Wood OF
Indiana and others. For nearly a
year the bill has been lying in a

D|RECTORYHARD
BLOW To GAY
HUSBANDS
Baltimore Book Now Links
Names of Married Men
With Mates.

Washington can have no such
protection for the contraband
sweethearts of married Lotharios
as is furnished In Baltimore and
other large American cities.
Over in Baltimore a new city di-
rectory has just come off the press
and is proving bulwark and a
tower Of strength and all that sort
Of thing for the would-be.victims
of faithless husbands. This new di-
rectory links the name Of his wife
with every married man listed in
the book.
Thus, II the husband is named
John Brown and his wife Mary
Jane Brown, the two appear in
the directory as John (Mary Jane)
Brown, followed by the address.
Butterflies Wings Clipped.
So, IL a married male butterfly
cannot content himself with the
solitary legal flower granted him
by the laws of this part of the
land. il becomes easy for the pros
pective victim, provided she has his
real name, to find his true status.
But this prot .ction Is denied
Washington girls. Georg Fl. Har-
ing, manager of the local branch
OF r. l.. Polk & Co.. which prints
the Washington City Directory
and the city directories for Balti-
more and other large metropolises
in this country, explained 1t this
way:
"The practice of linking the
names of the married men and
their wives in other cities is done
purely as a political matter and Is
only resorted to where women have
the ballot.
There Is no reason for such
procedure here and there seems to
be no indication that there will be
any necessity for the practice for
some time to come"

TAKES HIS WORK SERIOUSLY
Sarazen, Golfing Expert, Keeps Him.
self Fit by Devoting Much
Time to Practice

All the greats of sports owe their
success to diligent practice. Most of
the failures in sports failed because
they did not practice enough. There
is nothing more tedious than practice,
nothing more hateful in physical en-
deavor. The vast majority prefer to
evade it. They think it easier to try
and cover their faults in play than to
set about and overcome them.
Gene Sarazen reached golfdOm's
peak by constant practice. He has
been practicing ever since he was
able to caddy. Still he practices.
During the recent professional
tournament, won by Sarazen, he de-
voted half an hour before each match
to practice.
With Sarazen it is a constant drill
The rewards are richly earned by
him.
