While this commission carried on its

to have France answer the questions

soever. The President knows that the
people will vote on the Harding ad-
ministration in 1924 entirety upon the
question Of whether the man in the
White House deserves a further vote
of confidence. His whole western trip
was an effort to instill confidence not
only in his personality, but in his
administration.
President prepared for his western
trip in a hurry or that on the spur of
the moment he emphasized the yart-
Gus points he made is mistaken. Mr..
thinking of this tour around the
country and when fhe correspondents
started westward on the presidential
train they were handed several print
ed speeches which were the work OF
several weeks. Mr.. Harding sought
advice and got good deal of it, but
the general strategy of his western
trip was his own.
Used Prepared Speeches.
What kind of an impression did the
President make? The answer to this
question would be of doubtful value
even IL every person in his audiences
could have been interviewed. Modern
campaigning does not permit of ora
torical appeal alone, because there is
no particular spell about a speech
that is read from a manuscript. Mr..
Harding, being a newspaper man,
realized that he would get better pub
licity by preparing his speeches in
advance, because in that way the
newspapers generally would save tele-
graphic expense and be able to pro-
vide space to handle them at greater
length.
President Roosevelt was the first
to see the advantage of this, and
often got his speeches into the mails.
subject to release, as much as a month
ahead OF the speaking date. Presi-
dent Wilson disliked to prepare
speeches in advance, and even his ad-
dresses to Congress were often held
until the last minute for correction.
Mr.. Wilson used to say that he de-
rived inspiration from the crowds
and that he hated to read a speech
from a manuscript.
IL Good Campaigner.
President Harding is a remarkably
fine campaigner and can make a good
impression with an extemporaneous
speech, but he knows the dangers of
dealing with important subjects in
speeches composed on the spot. He
was we'll aware of the difficulties of
impressing a crowd with a written

 The potatoes are broken in halves and eaten from the shells. Bacon is delicious fastened on sticks and broiled over the fire.
 Oysters can be rolled in bacon slices, securely fastened with tooth- picks and stuck on long. pointed sticks and roasted like the weiners. These pigs in blankets" are served in buttered rolls.
 The tang in the air and certain knowledge that nice days and eve- nings are numbered, makes party of this sort doubly enjoyable. A party of twelve or fourteen is easier to manage than larger one.
 The consent of the owner of the woods must of course be obtained because it takes a fair-sized brush pile to make enough coals to roast corn for party of twelve.
 A smaller fire is adequate for only wieners or bacon and the fun is as great with much less work on the part of the fire makers and wood gatherers.

NEEDS NEW MOUSlACHE

Hamburg, Sept. 25.--A lost mou- stache is forcing a Copenhagen man to take prolonged vacation in Ham, burg. The Dane came to Germany
 wearing an enormous turned-up mou- stache. His friends joked him about
 it. People stared at him in the cafes. The Kaiser Wilhelm brand of upper lip decoration is not popular in the very modern commercial city of Ham, burg. It is too intentional.
 In desperation the Dane had his moustache shaved off. and found his lot much pleasanter until he reached the German border on his way back home. The heavily moustached chap on his passport photograph did not in the least resemble the smooth-faced modern appearing Dane. Passport officials turned him back and detec- tives gave him the third degree. In his changed appearance they found resemblance to famous international swindler. The Dane was too much ashamed of the incident to seek aid from Danish officials, and is now pa- tiently growing new moustache which will enable him to measure up to his passport photograph.

 As the weather grows colder ant kheres chill in the air after the SUI sets, what is more fun than cooking

 The fire should be built an hour ol 1.-two before time to get supper, fol Ia huge bed of coals is. necessary to dr cast corn, potatoes, or apples sue Icessfully.
 The coffee should be made at home land taken in thermos bottles, for hts well nigh impossible for the hmateur camper to make really good 5coffee over a camp fire.
 To roast corn, string the ears, un- | lhusked, on strong wire. Thread the |.wire through the heavy end of the Scorn. Pull this chain of corn into a #ci. cle, fastening the ends of the wire | |together. By this time the fire must be burnt down to great bed of coals. Open the coals and in the very center, bury the corn Heap | the coals back over it and let roast half an hour. The potatoes are buried around the edge of the fire in Fthe hot ashes.
 Keep Goals Alive. |s After the corn is buried the heavy |limbs that have not burned out are piled back over the fire and these keep the coals alive and furnish heat to roast the wieners.
 The fun of roasting the wieners begins in sharpening long sticks on which to roast them. Green wood must be used for the impromptu forks, for dead wood would catch fire and burn up before the wiener could roast Make a long, smooth point and slip the wieners, long fashion, on the point Hold over Hive coals, turning frequently until the skin bursts.

 By the time the first course of wieners is finished, the second course, .of roasted corn and potatoes, will be ready.
 Pull the potatoes from the ashes. The jackets may be covered with ashes but the inside is delicious with plenty of butter, salt and pepper. | Sweet potatoes as well as Irish are served.
 Then comes the corn. A long, handled rake is perhaps out of the question, but long-forked sticks can be found in the woods and answer the purpose. Rake the coals away from the corn and pull from the fire. Remove from wire and serve in the husks with butter.
 Paper Plates Helps.
