But. that is awfully poor sports

is the greatest sporting PROPOSE

Granted that the man you have
drawn in the great lottery Is the
man you loved and voluntarily
chose, just glance casually around
at few OTHER women's hus
bands-and be thankful!
II you can't be thankful for
what you received-be thankful
for what you escaped!

that he hasn't five or six clubs
and a long list of alibis to take
him. out evenings. Be grateful
that HOME is about the only
that no chorus girl will ever
sue him for blighting her life.
If your husband neglects you
for business, be thankful that he
doesn't hang around the house
all day and BORE you to death;
and that he is too absorbed to
demand an itemized account of
your time, or to keep tabs on all
your little amusements.
If he Is the kind who throws
his SHOES around, drops his
clothes wherever they happen to
fall and spatters soap all over
the bathroom mirror-be thankful
that he isn't the kind that can
spot a fIy-speck on the ceiling or
goes into high every time you
pinch the tooth.paste from the
wrong end.

WHAT SHALL
SHE WEAR?
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckmal

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- I am to be maid of honor
at my sisters wedding shortly.
Last Sunday we discussed the
dresses and other things am to
buy for that occasion.
My future brother-in-law and
my sister claimed that the maid
OF honor must wear white shoes.
/, however. want to buy shoes
to match my evening gown.
This aroused misunderstanding
among us. So we decided to do
as you win advise. The question
IL. Must a bridesmaid wear
white shoes?"
A READER.
There is no reason in the world
why maid Of honor should wear
white shoes. Indeed cannot
remember that I have ever seen
a maid of honor wear white
shoes You are quite correct in
your taste; by all means match
the color of your shoes to the
color of your gown.

TUE earth IL flattened. But

rejoice in expectation Of reading
an announcement that he has al
ways been right and the other
philosophers always wrong about
the shape OF the earth. The earth
is not fiat like a plane" as he
thinks, but only "flattened at the
poles"
This fact, to be sure. has long
been known, but It il still the
subject OF very intense investiga-
ton by those curious persons Of
much special learning who con-
Germ themselves with the alb
struse branch Of science known
as geodesy. They will never be
fully satisfied until they know
to the last inch how much dit
ference there Is between the
diameter Of the earth, measured
from pole to pole, and its d.
ameter measured through from
one side Of the equator to the
other.
Most persons are quite content
with the statement that the
earth's diameter is 1-297th shorter
through the poles than the other
way; that is to say, those who
visit either pole are 1885 miles
nearer the center of the globe
than those who stand on the
equator. But the Unsuitable earth
measurers scorn such round
figures. Literally they beseech
both earth and heaven to tell
them just what the flattening
amounts to. They would like to
get 1t In centimeters or even in
millimeters!
You would hardly believe,
so overpowering is their desire
after this singular bit of refined
knowledge, that they demand of

Fenning Report Given
Coolidge by Sargent
On 2 Visits, Is Report

The case of District Commits
sioner Frederick A. Fenning is be-
lieved to be in the hands Of Presi-
dent Coolidge today.
Attorney General John G. Sar-
gent called at the White House
today for the second time in two
days, and Is believed to have
brought with him the Department
Of Justices report of its investiga-
ton of the Fenning case, requested
by President Coolidge when the
Fenning trial opened before the
House Judiciary Committee.
The Attorney General, however,
refused to comment on the case
and even to affirm that he had
brought his report to the President.
When the Fenning case first as|
sumed the seriousness of an actual
impeachment trial before the House
Judiciary Committee, President
Coolidge asked Sargent to have his
department. follow the case closely,
particularly in regard to the legal
aspects of~the case, and report to
him as soon as the Judiciary Com.
mittee reported to the House.
The President made 1t plain that
his action in the matter was meyeA
~ to insure that both Fepning and
the District of Columbia would he
treated fairly in the matter, from
a legal viewpoint.
No intlmation of what the De-
partment of Justice reported to the
President was available today 1t
Is certain, however. that the re-
port was confined to the legal side

tales were received coldly and proved
that their author could not live upon

wrote his first novel, "Fanshawe," pub

lived in seclusion.
