September by Senator Couzens.

Senatorial inquisition. The Sena-

by personal animus resulting
from a public correspondence

Treasury. 1t has been agreed
that the investigation will be UNI

The determination to hold an
other quiz concerning morals of
those in public office may have
been a coincidence, but, it is said,
Suspicion of making political
capital out of the disclosures, if
any, may be reasonably drawn.

conjecture at this time.

American farmer has increased
his purchasing power and materi-
ally improved his condition in
the economic fabric Of the coun-
try. According TO current stories
here, the continued prosperity
of the farmer viii insure the re-
election of those congressman
from rural districts who tinkered
with farm legislation at the last
session but produced nothing in
actual relief for hard-pressed con-
stituents. In days of plenty it is
easy to forgive and many haras-
sed candidates for the Washing
ton representative Of farming
districts will appreciate this
fact.
If the agriculturalist voted as
class, the crops would be a po-
litical wane pointing the way
in which she wind was blowing.
With evidences of growing indus
trial depression, speculation to-
day deals with the so-called Ia
Dor vote. Though LaFollette
and Wheeler were highly graft
fed at the endorsement of the
American Federation of Labor.
there are no assurances that the
vote, as class, can be delivered.
1t is characteristic of the average
American to recall his liberty Of
choice at the polls. Altogether.
there is no ground for compla-
cency anywhere.

Grandmother was very straight
laced in her ideas and she would

days. She rode a sidesaddle with
long skirts. and even a divided
skirt with mans saddle would
have shocked her sense Of pro-
priety. She used a lot Of powder
and an occasional beauty patch,
TO be sure, but she applied both
in the secrecy of her boudoir.
She blushed at any reference to
sex, and when she danced she
did so most modestly and with
fairylike grace.
OF course, grandmother was
prudish and entirely too humble
She wasn't emancipated. Her
kingdom was bounded by the
walls Of her home. Her chief
ambition was TO be a good wife

the sweet wholesomeness that
grandmother had. more of her
shyness and modesty; more Of her
influence for good; more Of her
willingness to sacrifice for her
loved ones; more OF her pride in
the art of home-making and
housekeeping. Grandmother did
not reveal her charms quite so
freely as those who have come
after her, but those she did re-

modesty, interest in good works,

The Longwood doubles final was

singles encounter and was won by
the Intercollegiate championship team
of Lewis ". White and Louis Thai
heimer OF the University Of Texas.
They swept through Irving Vein
stein of San Francisco and c. Q.
Wellington of Boston, 60, So, 6-4,
and chalked up their first doubles
triumphs in six tournaments this
year.

with the worlds greatest exponents
of the game. His feat of moving

OF % hours was accomplished by an
astounding display of versatility.
Against Rice the Lehigh junior
changed the length of his shots to
throw the Longwood baseliner off his
game. Against Johnson he out
chopped the great chop stroke player
at his own game. Today Mercur re-
turned to a driving game and effec-
lively met Rice in a base line duel.
Mercur's steadiness in the face of
apparent defeat won the admiration
of the gallery. Rice broke through
the service of the 21-year- Phila-
delphian in the seventh game OF the
first set and tucked it away 6-4.
Service held for Mercur in the open
ing game of the second set, but Rice
outdrove his opponent easily and
reeled off six successive games to es-
tablish a lead of two sets to none.
Mercur refused to be discouraged.
He kept plugging away with a
stream of sideline shots that wore
Rice down physically, and one of the
victor's most potent weapons was a
fadeaway service that kept Rice
jabbing and stretching. The Long
wood star tired and could not respond
to Mercurs late spurt Service was
a decisive factor in the early stages
of the last two sets, but in each Rice
was the first to crack.
