Chancellor of Exchequer viii
Form New Government
at London.
CONSERVATIVES CHOICE
Latest Guide of Britain Popu-
lar Candidate for Honor
Over Lord Curzon.

By United Press
LONDON, May 22.-Stanley
Baldwin, chancellor of the Ex-
chequer in the old Bonar Law
ministry, has been made premier
of Britain.
Baldwin was summoned to
Buckingham Palace by King
George this afternoon and after
a conference it was announced
he had accepted the invitation of
the King to form a new govern
ment.
Selection of Baldwin was made after
the king had indirectly communicated
with leaders Of the Conservative party
Of which Baldwin is a member.
The conference between the king
and the new premier lasted more
than an hour. Baldwin went to the
royal offices in a taxicab. His wife
accompanied him.
Baldwin was the popular candidate
for successor to the office made va
cant Sunday night by the resigna-
ton Of Bonar Law, whose throat i'll
ness made it impossible for him to
continue.
The most dangerous rival OF Bald
win for the premiership had been Lord
Curzon. but Curzons place in the
House Of Lords handicapped him.
All the vital political action in
Great Britain occurs in the Commons.
and the prime minister ought to be
a member OF the lower house for that
reason, and that is not an advantage
while the labor party is pressing so
hard for power
Baldwin IS expected to receive the
automatic designations Of the old
Bonar Law cabinet members forth
with. The new cabinet probably will
be appointed tomorrow. There will be
no material changes.
Il need prayers rather than con
gratulations.' Baldwin told persons
who swarrned around 10 shake his
hand as he arrived in Downing Street
after his appointment.

ing. You always know best" And the
trick Is done. Wife gets what she
wants. Husband swells out his chest
and pities the men whose wives hem
peck them, and everybody is happy.
To get what you want without
fighting for it. and to make yourself
persona grata with the individual
you are holding up, is no mean
triumph OF diplomacy, but it is such a
commonplace achievement of women,
and go much in the days work that
they are not even conscious that they
do it.
Women are also adopts in the gen.
tie art of lying. A strictly truthful
woman would be as much of a bomb
in society as perfectly veracious
diplomat would be at a conference
table. Each would blow things to
smithereens.
Therefore, from the cradle UP! a
girl is trained to- look as If butter
would melt in her mouth, when she
is yearning to claw like a cat; to ap-
pear interested when. she is bored to
tears, and to say the conventional
and proper thing instead of the thing
she really thinks.
Women are also past mistresses in
saving their faces by saying one
thing and meaning another. There
fore. when you ask woman to give
to a cause that she doesn't mean to
contribute to, or to something she
doesn't want to, she does not give
you blunt mo" by war of reply.
She says she Will ask her husbands
permission to do so. and you smile
because you know that the only time
that a woman ever poses as being an
obedient wife Is when she is hiding
behind her husbands coat tails.
Likewise, you shudder when a
woman calls you "dearie" because
you know she is about to bite. and
when she tells you how young you
are looking. and asks you II you
haven't lost 10 pounds, you know that
it is time to beat it for q facial
massage and get new corset.
The tactics of diplomacy are all
feminine tactics. They consist in arts
and wiles, and side-stepping that
every woman has practiced from her
infancy up, and I, for one, look to
see my sex achieve great things in
the sphere for which nature and
training have so eminently fitted
them. DOROTHY DIX.
