DRESIDENT HARDING'S widow

news'-partly. believe, because
her genuine popularity contributes
in no small measure to the gen.
eral interest in what she is doing
or intends to do. But 1t is rather
startling to read headlined in one
morning paper Mrs. Harding To
Return to Washington" and in
another-on the same day Mrs.
Harding Will Not Desert Marion
for Washington"
The two stories. however, were
really not as contradictory as
one might infer. One, quoting
George b. Christian, secretary to
the late President and just back
from q visit to Marion, was to the
effect that Mrs. Harding was not
ambitious to rc-establish residence
here to remain political factor.
That she was not cherishing the
thought Of enaulating Dolly Madi-
son nor OF fdeposing Princess
Alice" CMrs. Nicholas Longworth)
rs chatelalne Of the Capitals most
interesting salon. Mr.. Christian
went on to issue a flat denia.
that Mrs. Harding had any in
tention Of abandoning Marion as
her-homc, but stated that "of
course, she might spend some
time In Washington this winter"
The other story simply corobo-
rated the Impression prevailing
in Washington that Mrs. Harding
was to come back here for part
Of the coming winter-an impress
sion which is being confirmed by
her closest friend. They all say
her letters indicate an expectation
Of coming on later, although as
yet she has set no date nor taken
any steps toward selecting a resi-
dence.
So you see, both papers may
possibly have been entirely correct.
Mrs. Harding may well come to
Washington for this winter-and
succeeding winters-without Civ
ing UP her allegiance to Marion;
and, as a matter of fact, to those
who know her best, 1t is unthink-
able that she should entirely
sever her connection with her old
home. 1t seems more than likely,
however, that she will eventually
have some pied-a-terre in Washing
ton which she can call her own.

Smart Women Are Wearing
Fur Trimmed Sport Coats

Combining the simple lines and
dashing colors of sport coats with
the luxury of fur collars, these
coats have taken a place of i'm
portance in the wardrobes of
women who choose their apparel
advisedly.
These coats are of medium
weight, suitable for present wear,
yet snug enough to keep off mid
winter chill. Camelaires, novelty
plaids and other sports-like ma
terials, shown in the favorite tans,
browns and taupe, as well as mix

THE CHANNEL TUBE

Word from Paris indicates that the spectacular
project for tunnelling the English Channel is going
right ahead and it is expected that the work of
cavation will start soon.
The job might be done, with reasonably good
fortune in five to 10 years. The idea now seems to
be not to start from land and dig toward the middle
from each end would be expected but to start from
mid-channel, from several shafts in the channel,
digging both ways until land is reached, dumping the
dirt in the Channel as they go.
Engineers will settle all such technical problems.
The main point is that the two nations directly
cerned not giving up the project They cannot be
suspicious of each other and bitter against each
other as politicians have represented them.
They wise, too, to let economic progress elbow
politics out of the way. Transportation needs will
last longer than the politicians who have been stirring
up trouble between the two countries, and vastly
more important than their political fortunes.
The tunnel plan gives answer too, in behalf of
the two leading nations of Europe to aviation enthus
lasts who have been insisting that all traffic will
be carried on in the air Heavy traffic must
sarily be carried on land in the water, perhaps
forever. An dior short distances railroads are batter

The Bear looked at Betty. The

ground. Up it bounced '.ker-slapo' ,
