WASHINGTON STiiiii
LETT Era
BY HARRY B. HUNT
REA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, April 22.-No
one ever thinks of General Pershing
as a laly-like individual. He has
all the airs and attributes of an ar
gressive if no actually pugnacious
male. Yet
Pershing admits it himself; he is
a Daughter.
And how can ore be Daughter
and still evade having at least some
of the graces and fratities of fem
ininity
Pershing's paradoxicai position
was disclosed the other evening
when he spoke to the delegates at
tending the convention of the D. A.
r.
Il speak to you," he told the wo-
men jamming Continental Memo
rial Hall, "as one of you. Perhaps
you may not know it, but l, too, am
a Daughter"
There was a wave f laughter and
applause. Apparently the general
was in testing mood. The ladies
leaned forward expectantly to catch
the lest Of the joke. 1t promised to
be good!
No joke! I'm Serious" Pershing
continued. "Three years ago l was
elected to membership in loca,
chapter of the D. A. r. That mem.
bership never has been questioned
/ insist, therefore, that I'm mighty
proud to be one."
Michigan, which was the scene d
the bitterest Senatorial battle Of
1922 as the sequel of the Newbery
Ford contest of 1918, promises tC
be the stage for an equally bloody
bout this fall should Edwin DENLY
former secretary of the navy, con
sent to contest the Republican nom
nation with Senator James Couzer s

Getting Too Fat?
Try This-Reduce

People who don't grow too fat
are the fortunate exception. But if
you find the fat accommodating or al
ready cumbersome, you will be wise
TO follow this suggestion, which is
endorsed by thousands of people
VINO know. Ask your druggist for
MNa5,rmola Prescription Tablets and
I l,,,i directions. One dollars is the
price the world over. Get them from
your own druggist or send price d.
rect to Marmola Co., 1912 Wood

TINS you will be safe from harmful
drugs and be able to reduce steadily

nal revenue and prohibitior3 units OF
the Treasury Department. As such
he has become persona non grata to
President Coolidge and Secretary
Mellon. 1t was this investigation
which Coolidge and Mellon demand
ed the Senate sidetrack.
DENLY, on the other hand, is a
victim of Senate investigations. The
disclosures in the oil inquiry were
responsible for his quitting the cabi-
net.
The full force of the administra-
tion's influence in Michigan will be
thrown back of DENLY, if he is per-
suaded to run against Couzens, and
now seems probable. Michigan Re
pubhcans would then have to choose
between supporting the Investigator
or the investigated.
+
The Republican primaries, how
ever, might not end the battle. Just
as the Newberry scandal worked the
defeat of Senator Townsend in 1920
and sent Woodbridge N. Ferris, a
Democrat, to the Senate from Mich
igan, so might the nomination this
year of DENLY, against whom the
issue of the Fall-Sinclair oil leases
could be raised, bring similar re-
suit.
Wherefore Democrats are watch
ing the Michigan Senatorial situa-
ton and hoping the Republicans
have merry fight. They're for it.
In the back of the Democratic
mir'ds, however, is one big question.
Should administration backing put
DENLY across for the G. o. P. nomi-
nation against Couzens, would Cou-
zens take the count lying down?
Or would he carry the battle to a
November showdown by running on
a progressive-independent ticket?
Party isn't a fetish with Couzens.
He hasn't any love for his party's
present leadership. Wouldn't he con-
tinue the fight, regardless, thereby
spilling the beans for the Democrats
as well as the Republican,?

But the very idea that had given
birth to the box was vulgar. 1t had
been intended to be the receptacle
for certain jewels Of Gerald's wife.
The thing angered me. Artists in
precious metal had been debauched
by Gerald's money and forced to
prostitute their gifts for beauty in
order to crafty a millionaire's yui-
gar within. l wondered that anyone
save dealer in gold and jewels,
who proposed to buy the thing for
its intrinsic value, should bid upon
it. But Gerald's death had not rid
the world of vulgarity.
The bidding opened at ten thou
sand dollars, and progressed rapidly
to twenty-five thousand, confined
to men whom intutitively knew
were dealers. Then another mar

BRIT TAIN PLEADS
FOR MANUFACTURES
Saws State Must Turn from Sell
ing Raw Materials to Become
Prosperous Again

WAYCROSS, July 23.-If Geor-
ola is to attain wealth, she must
change as rapidly as possible from
the mere sale of her raw materials
to their manufacture, M. l.. Brit
tain. president of the Georgia School
of Technology told the Georgia
Press Association, in annual convrn-
ton here today, in advocating legi-
slative support of the school, which
he termed as the chief reliance Of
the state for our industrial progress
and development"
ITO place this state on the real
road to fortune and progress" Mr..
Britain continued, "every city,
town and village must have indus
trial development as in New Eng
land. When this is accomplished
and our. Industries are established
and maintained instead of depend
ing upon agriculture alone, we will
see the day of real progress and
wealth in this commonwealth"
Calling attention Of the editors to
the fact that during the past year
Georgia has shipped out Of the state
clays, kaolin, bauxite, and numerous
other non-metallic minerals from
which the state received $1,0OO,O00
at the rate of a few cents per
pound" DR.. Britain stated TINT
1--WE bought back the manufactured
products of these raw materials at
a cost of more than $4,000, 1000"
The Georgia School of Tech

just established its latest addition
ceramic department, the building
of which will be completed mex.
month, ready to train our young
men in ceramic engineering ard
teach them what to do with oul
clays besides turning them over to
negro and a wheelbarrow for
shipment north" The speaker de-
clared that it was confidently cx-
pected" that the new department at
the institution would prove to be
"a productive servant that will add
much to our wealth."
