NEXT Election MAY

Bv HARRY B. HUNT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-(Spe-
ciaD The presidential election
next Nov. 4 may be important, bis
torically, far beyond any election
since the Civil War 1t may become
mile-post, marking a very definite
point in American affairs
Tbs Importance lies not in the
remotely possible election OF Sena-
tor Da Toilette to the Presidency.
1t lies not in the recognized posi-
bility that the election may be dead
locked and the choice of a presi-
dent thrown into Congress.
1t does not even lie in the virtual
yertainty that an independent"
balance eff power will be returned
in the new Congress.
The really important possibility in
the coming election is that it will
place on a secure and permanent
footing a new national party-a
third party sufficiently strong
and aggressive to sit in at the ma
tional political game on terms of
equality with Republicans and Dem-
ocrats.
Despite the fact that Senator La
Toilette and his followers have dis
claimed the formation at this time
of q new national political party,
running simply as Independents, .

We Women
Small Talk

Small Talk
 MM AKING small talk is an art. It WN is one of the fine arts and an
 important art. It lubricates minds. It drapes the passing time in pleasant colors.
 The man who can come nome at the end of q day and talk to his wife about an item in the newspaper or about something funny that happened down. town or about something that amused or interested her or about the neigh bors or the neighbours children, is much more effective as a husband than the man who comes home and sits around and is unable to say anything.
 Speech, of course, Is silver and si lence is gold but some of us are spoilt Such silence covers our minds with rust The wheels of existence do not turn so smoothly and sooner or later there will be breakdown.
 A complete overhauling may help but those who allow rust to accumulate in delicate machine can scarcely be ex pected to be good mechanics capable Of ridding the machine of the accumulated rust and getting it to go again.
 In such a machine the bumps will bt very severe and unpleasant.
 All the great minds of history and literature have faculty for browsing about ,contentedly in the fields of con versatien and speculation.
 Doves coo and the sound of their coo ing is very pleasant upon the ears. Il even seems to act like tonic on the hearts of the doves. We who listen do not know what they are saying, but that doesn't make much difference. The fact that they coo is enough. Only happy doves coo. Only happy people know how to make small talk.
 Learn how to make talk and you have a very good chance of being happy
 Life is dull and drab if we do not extract the sweets. from it. Human nature is essentially sweet. If we dc not extract the sweets from it it is ouI own fault and not the fault of others
