INVESTIGATIONS continue apace.
The fact is that these inquiries are
Washington's chief news and
diversion just now-with no end in
sight. It has become fashionable
for ladies Of the official set" to
form box parties" to attend the
hearings.
MONTANA has the distinction of
furnishing both of the Senate's most
relentless Investigators: Thomas j,
Walsh and Burton K. Wheeler.
Wheeler is not such an experienced
hand as Walsh, but he is the main
cog in the machine that is tearing
into the Department of Justice and
Attorney General Daugherty; and
the other day when he had a cold in
the head all his fellow-probers got
cold feet, at least, they did not go
far with the investigation until he
was back on the job again to take
charge.

secret conferences took place in the
early days of the Harding Admins
tration between Daugherty, Jesse
Smith and other officials and
hangers-on. The house is of green
stone and there are few like it in
the capital, where red brick is the
favorite building material. It stands
three doors from the home Of Mrs.
George Dewey, widow of the
Admiral The green house was the
meeting place of the Columbus
crowd" when they moved into the
capital in the Spring of 1921 Here
it was that Howard Warrington,
friend of Harding and Daugherty,
had his headquarters and death in
liquor permits and transacted other
legal business with those on the
inside.
THE FIRST WEEK in June has
been set as the time for winding up
the affairs of the 68th Congress. As
the earnest behest of the President,
Administration leaders in both
houses are working toward that end.
They want to have everything clean
ed up before the national political
conventions get under way. For
the House it will be easy, but the
Senate is in hopeless jam, having
turned most of its attention thus far
to investigating instead Of legislat-
ing.

WHITE HOUSE officials plan to

President for publicity purposes.
Mr.. Coolidge has been embarrassed
a number of times by callers whose

to make capital of the fact that they

Barnm's "One-a-Minute" Far Too Small

~ ESPLATNES, ILL. - Sheriff
Peter NJ. Hoffman of Chicago
saved his old friend, Barney
Winkelman, proprietor of the
Desplaines hotel In Desplaines, from
being bilked of $4,000 by a group Of
clever con men. Winkelman was
about to hand an agent of the con men
a certified check for that amount when
deputy sheriffs and three Chicago de-
tectives stopped the deal. They ar
rested the agent who gives the name of
Harry Nelson and says he halls from
Dennison, Texas.
According to Winkelman's story to
the police, he was working in his gar
den when Nelson, suave hammered
man with "a line all his own" paused
to inquire If he had any property to
sell, such as a hotel, for instance.
Winkelman said he'd sell his property
for $4,000. Nelson said he'd have to
consult first with the prospective pur-
chaser, a Mexican colonel" residing
at the Chicago Beach hotel. He es-
corted Winkelman to room 628 in the
Chicago Beach hotel where he was
introduced to the colonel" and a man
named Tom. The Colonel instructed
"Tom" to make out a check for $1,000

morning in August, 1923. Mr..

their home in Silverton, for a
motor trip to Wolcott, Ind. Bob, a
collie puppy, nearly grown, was taken
along. He rode In the car and on the
running board, and when the car was
left in garages he remained with 1t
as guardian. One day in eastern Iowa
Bob disappeared.
Mr.. and Mrs. BraZier went on to
their Indiana destination, where they
visited two or three weeks, and then
turned back toward Oregon.
Months passed and the Braziers had
given up all hope of ever seeing their
dog again as advertising and all other
efforts had proved vain. Their sur
prise can be imagined when, February
Is. 1924, he came bounding upon the
porch of his old home in Silverton.
He was no longer puppy, he was
travel-worn and thin, his toenails were
ground down almost into the flesh from
long contact with hard roads and his
coat was weather-stained and shaggy !;
but 1t was Bob. There was no mis-
taking that, and there was no mis-
taking his joy at being home again.
He was given sirloin steak and a
pint Of cream and taken to the base

undisturbed. He curled up on the

MARIANA

MARIANA is happy combination
AVA Of two Of the most popular names
in feminine nomenclature, Mary and
Anna. 1t takes Its significance from
the former and is generally accepted to
mean "bitter'' rather than grace"
The history of its origin is purely
religious. The mother Of the Blessed
Virgin was called Anna, though from
what tradition is not authentically
known. St Anne is patron saint Of
Prague where large festival is held
in her honor every year. In 1884, a
decree from Rome made a similar feast
obligatory in France, where the saint
was supposed to have made an ap-
pearance, and out Of this rose the
fashion of combining the names Of the
Blessed Virgin and her mother. Thus
Anne Marie or Marianne became one
of the most popular feminine names on
the continent.
Mariana received especial vogue and
was sometimes contracted to Mamma
In England Shakespeare IL responsible
for much Of the popularity Of Mariana,
since he twice bestowed the name up
on characters in his plays. Mariana
was the deserted wife Of Angelo in
Measure for Measure" and the daugh-
ter of Pericles in "Pericles, Prince Of
Tyre" was likewise SO called.
Mariana's talismanic gem il the
moonstone, the sacred jewel Of India,
which is said to bring its wearsr the
love which she desires. It also gives
her the power to read the future in
matters Of sentiment. Monday Is her
lucky day and her lucky number.
