PRESIDENT MEETS

President Harding is having a
somewhat awkward experience ham

problem that confronts him. Attorney
General Daugherty, his political men,

to Ohio for n prolonged rest, which
eventually may mean his resigna-
ton. Who shall handle the renomi-
mating campaign?
Many people believe a renomina-
tion is automatically accomplished;
that all the friends of a President
have to do is to let the political
world know he is Il candidate :or
denomination and the selection is as
good as made. But that's far from
the truth. A huge machinery has to

see that delegates friendly to Hard
ing are on the primary ballots, or
that the states where the convention
method of selection obtains will picl,

Adams Must he Neutral.
Some one has to do all that and.
although John 7. Adams chairman
t.
tee, was a Harding choice III the
iIrst place, he cannot, by virtue of
blS position on the national commit
tee. go out actively on behalf of any
candidate
Presidents Taft and Roosevelt each
had their Postmaster Generals, who
got busy a { the proper moment and
lined up the delegates for the re-
nomination campaign. A Postmaster
General in the old days was in touch
with the poStmaSterS everywhere
who usually took care of the inter
eStS or the man who appointed them
TO office. Many Of the postmaSters
today are not political appointees but
hold their positions by virtue of ex-
aminations. Mr.. Harding has modi-
fed previous practice in this regard
Dy permitting postmaster to be Sc
lected from the three highest candi-
dates. If Il republican is among the
three he can, of course be chosen,
and naturally he would be obligated,
morally at least. to look after the
welfare OF the man who signed his
commission.
Test to Come This Year.
The first test Of how much political
support can be expected by Il Presi-
dent from the poStmastcrS who have
been selected by examination will
come this year. But. if the postmaS-
engage in political activity-which
is forbidden by executive order, but
usually evaded in behalf of the man
who has the power to enforce the
executive order-there are always
other federal office holders who can
WELD political influence, as, for in

However, the general list responded

whereas the bearish element did not

The steel group was by far the

April II that Morse and his sons

trict attorney, land made proposals
to erect a plant at Noank to build
ships for the Government. This
plant cost him $4,000. In May,
Mr.. Morse had a conference with
General Goethals, the general man.
ager of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, and others for the purpose
of securing contracts. He repre-
scented his physical and financial
ability to carry out the contracts
should they be awarded to him.
Morse made a proposition to build
twenty boats at 100000 each.
AFTER war had been declared,
continued District Attorney Gordon,
Morse sought to get contracts from
the Government. The main pur-
pose of the Government at that
time said Major Gordon, was to
secure ships for the naval auxil-
larry, merchant marine ships for the
purpose of bringing the war with
Germany to successful and early
conclusion.
Charges False Representation.
The Indictment charges that the
defendants made false representa-
tons as to their financial ability
and also as to their ability to carry
out the contracts. When asked for
reference, they named the. United
States Steamship Company as to
their financial standing, concern
which was entirely controlled by
Morse. Not being satisfied, the
fleet corporation suggested that
more detailed examination and in
vestigation be made as to Morse's
financial standing and ability to
carry out the contracts. Morse. &C.
cording to the District Attorney,
suggested to his counsel to secure
two accountants to prepare q
financial statement. They went to
the Groton Iron Works and to
Noank to. determine the value Of
the plants. The books OF these
concerns showed that the real
estate value of, the properties was
estimated at $2S8,000
After discussing the matter with
one of the younger Morses, he In
Siiiced the accountants to raise the
figures on the. books OF the company
from 1888 900 to $500. 900. This was
June 10, and they dated it back on
the books to some date in April.
This, according to Major Gordon.
was the same property that Morse
took over for $115.000, which in
cluded everything, while the. figure
of $500, 900 merely included the real
estate property, but not the plant
and tools.

AT The WAlSTLINE
GirdIes of Ribbon and Silver Rope
Being Used.
Medallions or>RouHuets Are Important
Scarfs and Kecchiefs Promise to
Hold Popularity.

The most important thing about any
of the more modern frocks is the girdle
or ornamentation that appears at the
Wafstline, observes a fashion writer in
the New York Times. There are nu-
merous and beautiful ways Of doing
this, but this season most of them are
colorful and very apparent in the
places that they hold along with the
general scheme of dressing. eli
Some of the girdles are so thick and
putting that they astonish one who is
rather more accustomed to have the
waistline subdued Nothing of that
idea prevails nowadays, for there is
every tendency to call attention to that
portion of a Woman's anatomy with
decorative and very noticeable belt ar
engagements. There are silver ropes put
round the lowered waistlines, and there
are wide ribbons braided together to
make thick mass, and there are silks
that are actually padded to perform at
the waistline. But most important of
all are the medallions or bouquets that
finish off the girdles, or are placed all
alone at some point of the waistline.
They are made of myriads of brightly
toned silks and are folded together
from bits of ribbon that harmonic per-
fectly together, and then from the point
where the bouquet is placed there
stream yards and yards Of ribbons to
make the thing even more decorative.

These decorations are particularly
lovely on the young girls dresses with
the full skirts and the little, tightly
fitted bodices.
The scarfs or kerchiefs which girls
are choosing to wear so generally just
now are merely large handkerchiefs
made Of printed or brightly colored
silks, and they are twisted about the
necks or they are worn as belts, or
they are stuck conspicuously into the
pockets Of sports clothes. But they
are always decorative and, the fashion
having started at Deauville, where the
scarfs got their name, it now lives on
in these United States with a vim for
progress which looks as though it
would quite outlast the summer,

Chocolate Mailed Milk, made By
stirring three tablespoonfuls of matted
milk into a little water until well
mixed, and then adding two table
spoonfuls of homemade chocolate
strip. After the mixture has been
beaten a half-pint glass is filed with
cold water.
Grape Milk Punch is made by CON-
bining one gill of condensed milk
with three tablespoonfuls of grape
juice. After filling half-pint glass
containing this combination three
fourths full of water, it is finished
with a little carbonated water, which
is not entirely necessary but great
Improvement.
Raspberry Creme illustrates how
powdered milk can be used. To three
tabIespoonfuls of milk powder, blend
ed with one-fourth cupful of hot wa
ter, three tablespoonfuls of raspberry
strip are added, and one-half cupful
of cold water. The glass-a half
pint-is filled with carbonated water,
and served with chopped nuts on top.
All of these drinks are best when
served cold. The colder the drink the
better it tastes. The drinks may also
be served hot in cold weather. Adding
a little whipped cream or spoonful
Of ice cream is a INSTRUMENTATION
for any of the drinks. Ordinary milk
may be used in the same amounts as
the liquid called for in the case of
matted, powdered or condensed milk.

MAKE NEW LINENS FROM OLD
Worn Fabrics Easily Converted Into
Useful Articles for Wear and
Household Use.

Many a woman who cuts down
fathers suits for sonny throws away
other articles which could be cut down
to similar advantage, according to
clothing specialists at Cornell.
Linen goods are likely to wear
through only in places, while other
parts remain sound. The service of
these good pieces may be prolonged, if
the original piece is remodeled into
smaller articles. Big table cloths may
be made into napkins and luncheon
cloths; or, when steriliZed by boiling,
they may be cut into serviceable band

dren, and if simple design is cross
