No politician thinks President Cool idge will demand Secretary of the Navy Denby's resignation. It would be too much of q confession of weak ness. And Denby has said already he won't resign voluntarily. Nor is inn poachment likely-he's accused of nothing worse than carelessness. But despite denials, Denby's resignation is expected.

WHAT'S GOING ON " THE WORLD
BY CHARLES r. STEWART
 NEA Service Writer

Congress is having a regular orgy of investigations.
 US presidential year-each side hopes, by Investigating the other, to improve its own campaign chances.
 The Investigations hit the republi- cans hardest. because, being in pow eis they have most to lose.
 All the democrats risk is damage 10 their plans for getting back into power.
 The progressive bloc, as the bal ance-of-power group, hopes to profit, whoever else suffers.
 Not but what the investigations are a good thing anyway. When politi- clans fall out-well, there's an old saying fits the situation.

WASHINGTON HOLDS
PURE MILK RECORD
Only $4,000 Bacteria Per Cubic
Centimeter Observed in
Tests.

There are only $4,000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter in local milk. And
that's the record for clean milk In
large cities throughout the country,
although New York ranks close with
10000 per cubic centimeter
At any rate. this is the distinction
rendered the National Capital by the
Bcstov Lactonews, a milk periodical
OF Philadelphia, from figures COM
piled and furnished by the Phfla-
dcIphia dairy laboratories.
THE Nations Capital city is re-
nowned for many things. good and
bad" says this periodical, but its
milk supply is not generally consid-
cred one of its notable institutions.
Washington has one of the finest milk
supplies in existence in any city of
the United States, and brief glimpse
"a some of the highlights reveals
some very interesting facts"
Then a row of milk cans appears in
An illustration. Pittsburgh, with
$4,000 bacteria per cubic centimster
of milk. has the giant can. Then
comes Philadelphia. with $4,000: then
st. Louis. with a middle sized can and
$4,000 bacteria figuratively in it, and
Baltimore and New York follow in
descending respective scale with
-b'VVV anu SU,UUu anu last anu most
choice is the Washington milk can. a
teeny can, with only $4,000 bacteria
per cubic centimeter
The periodical pays tribute to the
way the health department handles
the milk situation and speaks i'm
preSSiVely of the plan of monthly
ratings by the health department.
Even the daily newspapers print
these scores (ratings), and the citi-
zens are SO educated to the system
that they actually exert demand for
its continued operation" it says.

shown good thing in matrimony to make them embrace it.
 For women to be able to take the initiative in courtship and pick out their husbands would add more to the sum of feminine happiness than any. thing else in the world. It would also be an inestimable blessing to men, be- cause it would insure to every hus- band good wife and comfortable home.
 The woman who has had to take what she could get in the husband line, not what she desired, is always a critical and dissatisfied wife and one who makes no effort to please.
 But the woman who has got a hus- band of her own selection, husband who represents her taste and casts credit on her judgment and who con forms to her ideals, purrs like milk fed cat and breaks her neck making things agreeable for him.
 Only an idiotic, moss-bound conven. tion keeps women from asking the men they love to marry them, and it is folly for the modern. up-to-date woman to be bound by this ancient myth. Sooner or later it will be just as much a commonplace for woman to pop the question as it is for her to vote.
 So why not go to it now, girls? Re- member that there are 250,OO0 more men in the United States than women. The hunting is fine!

What do you think !' cried Mrs. Jarr to her homecoming husband. Honey ymoOners, newly married cou- pie have moved into the apartment be- low, and do you know I believe it's a hoodoo flat and that's the reason that l wouldn't move into it!"
 q didn't know you ever thought of moving into it." replied Mir. Jarr. If you are thinking of moving, move good and proper further uptown, where you can get an apartment big and bright and with all modern improvements, in cluding elevator, for less money than we pay here."
 'tI'd like to see myself move away up there from all my friends just to please you," said Mrs. Jarr.
 What did you want to move down. stairs for?" asked Mir. Jarr. That's what cannot understand"
 Simply because I can't get our land- lord to do one single thing for us.'' re- piled Mrs. Jarr. "The woodwork needs painting, the parlor and the bedrooms and dining room need decorating"
 Well, if the landlord won't paper and paint for us in this apartment, how could you make him do it in the apartment below?" asked Mir. Jarr.
 "IIe has to paint and paper an empty apartment and make it look nice or he can't rent it." replied Mrs. Jarr. But. as he told me himself, he couldn't afford to do anything for the other peo- pie in the house.
 "Why didn't you threaten to move uptown if the landlord didn't paint and paper for us?' inquired Mir. Jarr.
 ''Oh, I did, but he knows, owing to the housing shortage. that good flats are scarce" replied Mr. Jarr. "So he does like every other landlord-nothing for the old tenants that stay and every thing for the new tenants that come, and so I was thinking"

Aoh, Nilus, thou god of my fainting In dreams thou comest to me; And, dreaming, l play with the lotus bowl,
 And sing old songs to thee; And hear from afar the Memnonian
 strain
 And calls from the dear Simbel; And wake to passion of grief and
 pain
 That e'er I said--farewell"
 LEW WALLACE. have chosen this quotation from "Ben Hur" because it relates to an incident in Wallace's story that is. perhaps, not so generally well-remem- heged as some other portions.
 The main features of the plot of "Ben Hur" cannot be forgotten by those who have read the hook, though the spectacular chariot race is. proba- bly,, the most often quoted. The con- fiscation of the Hur property by the Caesar, the life of Ben Hur as gal ley slave, his adoption by wealthy Roman noble, his return to Jerusalem, the finding of his mother and sister lepers and their miraculous cure at the hands of the Savior are the main thrilling episodes.
 Balthasar, one of the Three Wise Men, and his daughter, the scheming, heartless Iras, are less well-remem- bered. The wiles of this daughter of the Nile" who used her charms to lure Ben Hur to destruction that the cause of his enemy might be ad- yanced, Wallace vividly describes, the verse quoted being one of the many songs with which she sought to be- guile him.
 Wallace's long residence at Con stantinople admirably fitted him to write the absorbing stories of Ben Hur" and "A Prince of India" It is said that he became converted to Christianity as result of the re- search connected with their produc- fi0n.

FOR MOTHERS

The idea still prevails among many people that children must have the ordi nary diseases of childhood, and that it is better to expose them to these various ailments as early in life as possible so as to get through them as soon as pos sible.
 The idea originated in an earlier pe- riod before we knew as much about the infectious diseases of childhood as we do nsw. It is an altogether mistaken be- lief, and the object of physicians to- day is to protect children against in- lection. instead of exposing them to it. As children are more susceptible to va riations in temperature than adults, so are they also more apt to contract cer- tain diseases.
 The safest way to protect them against infection is. of course, not to expose them. This is extremely difficnlt where there are large gathe-i's> o- aa- dren, such as in srhOOls CT ii thickly r"-' ,'t"i ..,stGicts. hNt if tue h-a't / fac rhili ts maintained hr ptr, u'5t-a. p''', s'" iNs i4le nce sures oy I'd rood. a:hnlS. s.e-t. rrssn air ans. sun.

 p'Ils is r.ored ever and over again during an epidemic. The children who tai victims to the prevailing diseases are always below par in one way or an- other. It is again shown where a num- Der of children in one family are stricken and one escapes. This one is in better condition to throw off the dis ease; in other words, the child's tissues resist the attack. and when all is said And done. this tx the highest we can ac- complish--to develop the tissues of the body by proper modes of living to such a degree that exposure to unfavOrable con- ditions will be met with resistance and disease completely thrown off owing to the proper balance of health that is being maintained.
 2 l cannot repeat too often that fresh sir and sunshine are as necessary to health as proper foods. In fact, diges- ton cannot go on in vitiated, bad air. There must be sufficient supply of oxygen taken into the body to enable the foodstuffs to be burned up. You can give child the richest of milk, fresh eggs and so on, but if you do not give him, at the same time, sufficient fresh air, he will not derive much benefit from his good food.
 Just as plants bloom in the sunshine and wither in dark places, so children glow with health under the beneficient rays of the sun. Bacteria germs that cause the infectious diseases of child hood are rendered less virulent by the powerful rays of the sun. Therefore, give your children Natures remedies {: sunlight, fresh air, fresh foods and watch them thrive!

This had been an hour ago. Now the two doc tors had completed their examina tion and Dr. Hazen had come into the library, where James Norton's daugh- ters were waiting to learn the verdict.

He may finger on for long time-but l doubt if he will ever be himself again. How ever, I do not wish to give this as a certain statement until I have con- suited with some other man.
