WHY SHOULDN'T WOMEN POP THE QUESTION?

A feminist in New York the other day said women were at a disadvantage in the matrimonial situation. A girl can go with" a young man for years and live in daily expectation of hearing a cer- tain proposal enunciated, and yet live in constant disappointment. She may be entirely willing 10 give the right answer. but on account of the perfdious procrastination and lack Of courage in the man she has banked upon to do the right thing during the counting period, she finally comes to the conclusion that all men are vain selfish critters. with not even nerve enough to propose embarking upon the ship of holy matrlmony.
 To remedy this unfair custom by which fair womanhood so frequent ly is cheated of her rights, the feminist suggested that women have the right conferred upon them to do the proposing: not only during leap year - that theoretical period when they are supposed to have this privilege. which is not exercised - but all the time, year in and year out. ...
 Sounds entlcing, And why not? Why should a girl be led to be- lieve the young man she permits

KRIM MAKES READY
 FOR LONELY EXILE
Counsels His Tribes Not to
 Continue Revolt

Fez, Aug. 26 GP - Abd- -Krim, | with Mussulman fatalism, is prepar- ing for his exile on a tiny island in the Indian ocean.
 The one-time government clerk who led stubborn revolt against two great powers and who aspired to be King of the Riff,' spends most of his day roaming through the vast Towering gardens which surround his residence.
 Regularly every morning and eve ming the vanquished rebel prays to his Allah, who he believes directed his surrender to the French.
 Recently the Riffian tribe of Oasis having decided to revolt against the French managed to get word of their plan through to Abd- El-krim. A reply evidently inspired by Abd-El- -krim. was captured by the French, who immediately for warded it to its destination when they learned that it read as follows:
 Allah is powerful. Allah desired a French victory because for long time the Riffians have not followed the religion of their brothers and fought against the people who were able to, bring prosperity, civilization and happiness"
 Although Abd-El-KriI has dis played no desire to escape, troops of the Eighth 2 Colonial regiment guard the whitewashed house on the outskirts of the town.
 Si Mohamed, AbdEl-Krim's bro ther who is housed with Abd-El- Krim accepts his Imprisonment with less grace and declares he would not have surrendered had he known tLat he was to be exiled.

\ GOVERNOR WHO KNOWS
 HIMSELF

Know thyself," said the Greek philosopher.
 In other words, the man who realizes his limitations-or who is willing to admit frankly that he has few or many-is in fair way to become distinguished in one way or another. At any rate. he belongs to a sensible minority.
 Those who turned to the right page and the right column learned that Governor Vic Donahey, of Ohio-the Democrat who was elected by a large majority in the Buckeye state during the Coolidge landslide-is no candidate for the presidential nomination on the Democratic ticket.
 He says he is no candidate for the nomination now and will not be one later.
 T know my own limitations" he told an admiring collection of delegates at the state convention Of his party.
 The man who can say that and means it amounts 10 something.
 Donahey would make q strong candidate and he halls from a pivotal and doubtful state, which ranks close to New York in the electoral college totals. But the gentleman, regardless of this or anything else knows his Hmita- tions' and does not think himself the proper timber for being pres ident of the United States.
 It has been clear ever since the Republic was founded that a host of would-be presidential candidates had no such intensive self-analysis in their mental complex.
 Governor Donahey can be credited with possessing uncommon common sense.
 And by the way. wasn't it only few years ago that 1t was stated quite generally that all a President of these United States needed was common sense?
 Donahey may have some limita- tions. but not enough of them tos debar him from being President if if the people cared 10 have him.

NEW HARD-SURFACED STEEL
Jalcase Developed at Pittsburgh ts Reduce Cost of Machine Parts.

Pittsburgh, Aug. 26 P-The de- velopment of a new steel product steel with a great wear Resistance surface, but a soft core-was an- nounced here last night by the Jones & Laughlin Steel corporation. Met allurgists described the product as "a combination of steel clements never before obtained"
 The product. named Jalcase, will reduce production costs and speed up output of parts for automobiles, washing machines, other household appliances, typewriters and adding machines, shoes and textile ma- chimes and equipment where steel of great wear resistance is required for moving parts, company officials said.
 Heretofore, according to metallur- gists, steel used in moving parts was hard throughout. Jalcase, they said, with its hard surface and soft core, possesses a triple combination of fast machining, case hardening and forging properties.

side world so far as ready inter- course is concerned, and leaving the quiet folk uncontaminated by much of the contraptions of pro- gressive civilization. Of the latter they want none.
 And something is always happen ing in Kentucky to provide a new impetus to the glories of folk song possibilities. There was the rescue of the miners at Salem, Ky. That their story will get into a plaintive air of the mountains need not be doubted. It is of the kind the log cabin musician loves to encase in a threnody of melody.
 The seven miners were trapped within the bowels of the earth while at work. One, Roy James, could have escaped, but ran the other way through surging waters that accumulated in order to warn his companions.
 Outside, for six and a half days, rescuers frantically drilled through the stone before reaching the i'm prisoned men. When they were found this legend was scrawled in the cap of each man:
 If we are dead when you
 find us, we are saved"
 Randolph Cobb, one of the simple men rescued, told the story while propped up in bed at his cabin later.
 We laid there till Friday morr.- ing, guess, and then we all got victory from God except James," he said. He failed. We prayed on then until Sunday morning. We had only our carbide lamps. 1 told them l was going to do some writing. I turned to James and said, Roy, are you right or are you wrong? I'm going to put down what you say.'
 Roy said, I don't know what to do.' Then turning his eyes toward Heaven he said, put it down I'm saved'
 We held grand and glorious meeting then and were living on the Lords love when they found us."
 Touching, isn't it? Most cer- tainly. Surely an epic for the soul full originators of the Lonesome Kentucky tunes" The story is be- ing repeated upon all the mountain sides, and the uitar-strummers are fitting the Lords rescue to some dolorous lamentation with a glorious finish, with the moral for all hearers and beholders to be like the miners at Salem and be pre- pared to meet their God.

BATTING FOR KING SOLOMON The Editor Appoints Himself Referee

in the Case of Sunny Vs.
 Prince Charming Dear Readers:
 In this argument 'TWixt Suny and her lover, It seems to me the lady has Prince Charming hunting cover! She said her love was so intense, So great, so overflowing, That if he lost his job she's help With needle work and sewing. It's an amusing thing to watch Two lovers start discussing; But often what, at first, is sweet, Ends up in bitter fussing. And so, without ado, I will Elect myself arbiter, Because I know this boy and girl Each is a finish fighter. The others love is something that They neither should disparagc; It's bad to argue things like that, It might forestall the marriage. So my decision is: Twas wrong For Sunny thus to wheedle, And yet she wins the argument By one point-on her needle!
