Washington, ID. c.. Nov. lo
 Whether Col. Charles R. Forbes was guilty of graft, or whether his enemies conspired to destroy him, the investigation into the United States Veterans Bureau has proved that conditions were scandalous. and thrown into the lap of the republi- can administration 'scandaP' of such acuteness that it will have ef- feet in the forthcoming campaign.
 In the opinion of official and un- official Washington, there is no way of escaping the above conclusion.
 The case is judged all the more re- prehensible because it involved the soldiers who fought the war against Germany, the helpless victims of that murderous campaign.
 While the Senate which ordered the Investigation was made aware that in the bureau there was some thing so radically wrong as to need immediate attentions 1t is believed here that the republicans did not be- lieve that the conditions were so serious and so odoriferous.
 The conditions have been revealed. The remaining duty of the investi- gating committee is the ascertain ment of the truth in the conflictinG stories of Colonel Forbes. Dr. Charles E. Sawyer and others. In the begin ming, sentiment was bitter against Forbes. In the present, whether justly or not, sentiment has veered.
 In his defense, Forbes was very able. it appeared. His story was apparently as straight as it was dynamic. Certainly, he was not afraid and that seemingly argued for his conscience. He denounced Dr. Sawyer and his other alleged traduc- CTS as liars.
 Harding Memory Brought Up.
 The situation has brought to the fore memory of the late President Harding. It was he who appointed Forbes. And Dr. Sawyer was not only his physician and his crony, but his warm, personal friend.
 The President was regarded as an easy going individual, and those whom he trusted, it was said. could have deceived him at will. Dr, Saw yer opposed Colonel Forbes, and no doubt carried the story to the Presi- dent He swore that the President discharged Forbes. Forbes swore that Sawyer lied.

There Is a book which tells of the
breaking up of a tight. intolerant
family life upon the entrance of a
new and alien personality. For years
this family has existed in one groove
and has accepted only those who
functioned in similar grooves. When
the story opens the family Is largely
dependent for it's happiness on the
oldest daughter. Katherine: She min
listers increasingly to their various
needs with her sympathy and under
standing. Then, in spite of the rio-
lent opposition of her family, she
loves and finally elopes with young
man whose life has lain outside the
family horizon. For this, her mother
never forgives her.
AS she neared the crisis in her life
the girl had an illusion that she had
always been right in the very heart
of her family. She did not know
that it had been their need of her
that had put her there and that now
that she was turning away from
them to some one else they were all
rejecting her. They also were un-
aware Of this. They thought and
she thought that it had been always
a matter of love between them.

You see there wasn't thing in the

But all things must end. One morn

But he didn't hear him, and for

too busy to drum. Mrs. Drummer
had found just the sort of place for
a new home that she wanted. It
was in that same tree. There was a

she had decided would be the very

Pictorial Fabric for Simple Frock

The larger the figure Of your fabric

Chinese and Japanese garments,
lacking drapery and other convolu-
tions, lent themselves exceuently to
ornate printed figures. Persian and
East Indian costumery likewise gave
room for the printed surface.
Quite often when large figured sur
faces have been revived in our west
ern world they have been all great
mistake, because we have tried to
do two things at once that ought
always be done separately. We have
tried to make clothes that were drap-

On one hand we hear that the really

SoURcE-An occupation.
Here is q family name which has
come down to us from a word now
obsolete, but which is curiously tied
up with number of modern words.
And lest the reader be misled by the
variation of Charter, let it be stated
that the family name has no connec-
tion with the word Charter" denot-
Ing legal document, nor chart"
meaning map or table of statistics.
The words to which it is related are
chariot" cart" and car" 1t Is not
generally realized but these three
words are really the same, being all
derived from the old Norman form
"charet," which in the early middle
ages usually signitied Il vehicle of
much splendor. and not the chariot
of ancient military use.
1t was recorded of HelianoTe, who
was brought over from France in
1894 to be the bride Of Richard of
England, that "she was full scarsly
viii yere of age, but she brought QUITE
of Frauns xii chares full of ladies and
domicelles."
The 1911 version of the English
Bible uses the word "charet."
'Chareter," "Caretter" and Char
reter" were simply various spellings
of the word which meant chariot

same. They must have ranked with
