USE GOOD ENGLISH

Women have seen to it that men
should be attracted to them ever
since Eve first saw Adam. And ever
since that day, women have been
the subject of admiration by both the
masculine and feminine gender OF
course, the masculine predominated.
Nature saw to that, and old Mother
Nature does things up pretty round
when she does them at ALL
So, as time went on, she gave wo-
men more and more charms more
and more wiles with which to capti-
yate her man. So finally. after many
generations, very fascinating Great
ure is recorded in history, so very fas-
cinating, in fact, that many men have
laid their lives and fortunes at her
feet. We might name Cleopatra as
one great example, although there are
many others.
With these fascinating women of
the present day comes the knowledge
of how to win men. Every woman
can do it, although some have not
enough confidence in themselves to
believe it. A clever woman knows
that the first requisite in attracting a
man is to make herself personally at
tractive And now this has finally led
up to what / really want to say:
A beautiful girl walked in a recep-
ton room the other day She was
lovely to look at, wore perfect clothes
walked with her chin up, and carried
herself like lady. Turning to a man
on her left, heard her say, par
don me, can you tell me what time
it is?" My illusion of a charming
well-bred girl faded She had made a
big blunder. Pardon me is an abbre-

lidge. announced the appointment OF
Thomas Watts Gregory, of Texas, as
the Democrat ward in conducting the
presidential probe into the oil scandal
Possibly the President could not have
appointed anyone without the appoin
tee being put on the dissecting table
and becoming subject to the knife.
Gregory, however, it is pointed out,
was Wilson's Attorney General, and
is understood to be close friend of
Doheny. With this background, oppo-
nents of the administration are not
slow to connect the rest of the links
in the chain of criticism. Doheny was
very heavy contributor to the Will
son campaign fund it appears. While
he gave to both parties, his gift to the
Democratic fund ran into stupen-
dous sum Of money.
One story is to the effect that he
donated 100000 to the Democratic
cause and then bet more than $780,
600 that Wilson would win so that
the net result of his operations was
victory and handsome profit on the
transaction.
Gregory, of course, was appointed
by Wilson on recommendation Of Col.
House, who was the real Wilson pOliti
cal manager and who presumably was
aware of the Doheny generosity to
the Wilson cause. Whether Doheny
played any part in the way OF sug-
gestion as to political appointments,
of course, is a matter yet to be learn
ed, but the loose takers, and there
are hundreds of them now actively at
work, do not hesitate to charge that

Teapot Dome Likely to
ScaId Many Before End
WALSH STARTS IN OIL PROBE
and PROMISES MORE EXPO
suREs no COME LATER ON
BY EDWARD PERCY HOWARD

There is only one story on every
boo 3 lips today in Washington
Dot Dome. The national capitol is
swimming in the oil scandal. Sen 3a-
ton follows on the heels of sensation
so rapidly that even trained newspap-
ermen used to calm analysis and
news dissection are puzzled to know
what angle to tackle from hour to
hour. Each man fears he will sense
the wrong news slant and awaken in
the morning to find his rivals have
beaten him all over the first page.
In the meantime the implacable Sen
ator from Montana, Thomas J. Walsh,
man of millions and Of graf ability,
keers calmly at his work of investi.
alton. his hand to the plough, his jaw
set. his determination forced to drag
into the sunlight any fact that may
tend to show official corruption in
connection with the granting of the
oil leases, hewing straight to the line
and letting the chips fall where they
may.
Walsh started in the oil probe with
one objective, and unquestionably he
will pursue that course to the bitter
nd. But now there are signs that the
vision of a new objective may have
fired his imagination-for the word
has been passed along the line
Walsh for President" Out of the
maelstrom the Montana man may
emerge as the Democratic choice tc
meet Coolidge in the political lists.
Might Stampede
Convention to Walsh
Politicians who are determined to
make this Teapot Dome affair the is
sue of the coming campaign believe
when the Dmocratic convention opens
in New York the hour will be at hand
for spectacular stampede. Two
weeks ago the temerity was felt at
the possibility of William Jennings Br-
yam touching the spark with another
Cross of Gold speech to swing the
balance in favor of the real candidate
he has carefully wrapped up in his
familiar muffler, but now, belief in
the bryan influence has waned. The
eyes are on Walsh The wiseacres

ment graft and corruption, one stand.
ing as the responsible head of move
ment leading, with face uplifted and
unafraid, the spirit of American loyal
ty, the foe of the despoilers of the Re
public
Where Walsh may fit with the
plans of the bosses of course is anoth
er matter, but the belief seems to be
that the situation is too big for the
bosses to control, and that they will
have to bow to the clamor of an out
ragged public when the moment
arrives.
