of that power their acts are not sub

Invasion by the courts to determine
whether the public interest required
the property be sold otherwise than
under the statutory conditions pre-
scribed and to set aside the sale
should the judgment of the court be
different from that of the President
would be a judicial notification not
only of the Presidents act but also
of the act OF Congress comforting on
the President the power to determine
what the public interests required.
What the public interest requires de-

@You have no proof of anything Of

when I mentioned Sydney Carton as
the father of little Jack. 81 do wish
people would not interfere with my
business.
My dear Jack, you cannot stop
people from talking. You know as
well as 1 that you were very glad
when told you l was not leaving
the city. You yourself were trying
TO refute the gossip which you had
heard.
You may not believe it, Jack, but
Ruth Ellington is one of the best
friends you have, not for your sake
particularly, but because she is fond
of me. She told me that, however
innocent you might be in the matter
of taking down the billboard, it
would be impossible to make the
people think it was for any other
reason than that you were angry be-
cause the billboard people were adj

We'll. I'll tell you honestly, Jack,

women are in national politics this
year for the first time.
Four years ago didn't count. They
hadn't had the vote long enough.
So feminine influence hasn't puri-
fled politics yet. 1t will begin to.

alt isn't that women, as a sex,

Miss Mabel Vernon, executive secre-
tary and organizer for the National
Woman's Party, the most militantly.
distinctively, individually feministic
of the women's political groups.
But women are studying politics
as men never have. They won't vote
blindly, as leaders tell them to vote.
They'll understand the issues they
cast their ballots for-and against.
That will make for cleaner politics.
l think.
Only the Start.
at can't be done all at once. But,
having started, we shall learn fast.
"Women's first interest is in local
politics. Its problems concern them
directly, personally. From local
questions We shall work up.
"Yes, the time is coming when
women will hold cabinet posts.
There are women who could hold
them now, any of them, at least as
well"-and Miss Vernon smiled-"es
some of the men who hold them.
To the Top!
"And a woman president? Of
course. How soon? All, 1 don't

amendment was quite unexpected.
So may woman's presidential can.

Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vice
chairman of the Republican, and
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, vice chair
man of the Democratic Central Com
mittee, agree with Miss Vernon that
women are studying politics with an
interest few men ever have shown.
But they don't believe this will tend
to keep them from Republican or
Democratic alignment.
Indeed, Mrs. Blair believes women
will be more loyal partisans than
men. whose allegiance. she suspects,
is affected sometimes by business or
other personal considerations.

New York, March 3.--The presi-
Dental election of 1924 is going to be
an answer in the affirmative to the
question that is vexing many men
did women really want suffrage-ac-
cording TO Mrs. Charles II. Sabin.
"Women had little actual repre-
sentation in 1920 and they were not
organized as they are now. So the
comparatively small percentage of
women who voted four years ago is
no standard by which to judge what
will happen at the polls this year."
she says.
This slender blond woman is
scarcely the type you would pick out
as a political leader. But she is.
She is associate member of the Re
publican National Committee from
New York and president of the
Women's National Republican Club.
1t has been largely due to hec
generalship that the membership of
this club has swclled from go men,
bers in 1921 TO 10000 now.
Vote Getters.
"The club is urging every woman,
regardless Of party, to bring at least
10 women in to vote that have never
voted before" she went on. sand
we are begging them TO cast their
votes as citizens, not as women.
"The erroneous idea that women
should be interested only in meas
ures that affect women and children
and not inform themselves as TO the
other political issues is defeating the
very reason we wanted the vote--so
as TO take sex out of politics"
Out of Home.
Mrs. Sabin is the mother of two
children in their teens whom she
is training to take an active interest
in politics.
But politics doesn't interfere with
her family's home life.
my husband is a Democrat she
admits, "but our political differences
have never caused any dissention in
our home life. My father was secre-
tary of the navy under Roosevelt
and my grandfather was in Cleve-
lands cabinet. Politics runs in the
family, but the party is an individual
matter. l believe it should be with
everyone.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO PAULA
PERIER

I have been wondering. Paula,
just what was your reason for cont
ing back to this town at the present
time. OF course l know it will be
very pleasing to your vanity to come
back here rich, famous and courted
and make every woman envious.
But in the old days, Paula, you told
me that you cared for me more than
anything else in the world.
When your life seemed utterly at
an end you left with me your baby,
and now that both Leslie and l have
grown to love it, sgd has intimated
and indeed you wrote me something
to the effect that you are coming TO
see if l would give it back to you
again.
Don't you see, my dear girl, that
nothing worse could happen? l
would think that you would have
learned by this time. as / have done,
that thing once done can seldom
be undone. You can't unscramble
eggs. you know. / must maSe YOU
understand that the boy is mine. He
has been given to me through the
process of the law and l shall keep
him at any cost.
This will seem to you very hard,
but it is destiny. l am not really
hard. Paula, and / shall always
think of you with great pleasure. for
we were happy, happier than I
thought could be possible without
great love.
OF course you know that your COM
ing here will occasion much gossip,
and l think perhaps you had better
not try to see me. After all, Paula,
the chapter is ended and the book is
closed. 1t may seem foolish for me
to tell you that l am sorry, but j
am, my dear girl, very sorry. do
not say. however, that under similar
circumstances l might make similar
mistake, for you were very fair: You
were very sweet. Had / never found
Leslie might not have realized that
the emotion which you aroused in me
was not that of love.
You see. I'm very frank. Men sell
dom say those things to anyone. In
fact, l think they hardly ever ever
tell them to one another.
However, l thing everything he
been said and only silence should
rest between you and me forever.

The way to whittier teeth. '

Those many people you meet
with giistenins teeth do something
you should do.
You see them everywhere today.
They have gained new beauty and
new charm. But they have also
gained new cleanliness, new safety.
They use a new method Of teeth
cleaning. Let this test show how
much it means to you.
They combat the dinsy film
You feel ON teeth viseous film
That is what clouds teeth
Under old-way brushing, much
of that film remains. 1t becomes
discolored, then forms dingy coats,
to make the teeth unsightty and
melean.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions IN It. They, with tar
tar, are the chief cause Of pyorrhea.
Such troubles became almost
universal, due to ATTACKS caused by
film.
