WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Col. Ed
Startling will not be with John Cool

The job is perhaps the least desired
assignment in the history Of the Sc

means boredom and there was no

was announced Startling would not
return. Wood does not look much
Older than young John and he was
chosen because he would appear less

1t was explained the President is
not adverse to his sons attendance

WIVES LOSE
COPYRIGHTS
FOR NAMES
Married Misses Denied
Use of Maiden
COQnomen.

81 united Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The
United States copyright Office has re-
fused to issue copyrights to married
women using their maiden names.
The National Woman's Party has
organized a delegation of women au-
thors to call at the Library of Con-
gress with a protest
The issue came to a head In the
case Of Miss V. d. Hyde of Denver,
Col, who for nearly twenty years
has been obtaining copyrights for
poems and plays in her maiden name.
Now the register of copyrights has
ruled she must use her husbands
name.
The same issue was up with the
State Department some time ago
The department denied a passport to
Miss Ruby Black, writer, under her
maiden name and required that she
use the name of her husband. Her
bert Little. On protest by the Ma
tional Woman's Party this ruling
was reversed and married women
were permitted to go abroad under
their professional names.

party nominations have been bought
outright and spot cash has been paid
to delegates, Beveridge contended.
1.-THE convention is the easiest and
the cheapest way for dishonest,
wealthy and venal men to work their
will upon the public through the
enactment of bad laws and the de-
feat of good laws through the NAL
administration of good laws and the
enforcement Of bad laws, and we
have q reason against the conven-
ton that is far stronger than any
that have been urged against the
primary"
The largest number that voted for
delegates to the convention was s
per- cent, while from 25 to % per
cent of the party strength goes to
the polls of the primary. Beveridge
pointed out.

KEEP HAND LOTION
IN YOUR HANDBAG
Every Woman Should Use 1t
as COnSCientouSIy as
She Does Soap.
By Ninon.

Every woman's handbag should
contain a fiask-not of gin or Scotch,
but of hand lotion. And she should
use it just as conscientiously as she
uses soap.
Keeping your hands beautiful in
winter is much more Of a chore than
it Is in the summer. In the first
place, they require washing much
more frequently on account of the
large amount of coal smoke in the
air And constant washing is apt
TO produce chapping as we'll as clean
Illness.
If you are careful about using a
healing lotion after each washing and
before exposure to the cold, and If
you dust talcum lightly over your
hands after each dose Of lotion, It Is
highly probable that you can keep
very respectable looking hands
Keep II With You
But il your hands are particularly
sensitive to changes in temperature,
or if you have a tendency to an acid
condition. you will need to give them
greater care.
An excellent soap for tender hands
is made by melting CASTLE soap and
adding a little olive oil when you get
It TO the liquid state. Keep this in a
bottle and pour II on your hands
instead of using the bar soap. 1t is
very soothing and cleansing as well.
Or If you use regular soap you will
find II advantageous to battle the
hands two or three times week IN
thoroughly into the skin. Besides
making the texture soft and velvety.
this will keep the cuticle at the base
of the nails from becoming ragged
and rough. and will make manicur-
ing a simple matter.
Another way to keep your hands
soft and pleasant to touch is by wear
ing gloves at night. After cleansing
the hands, rub a good skin food well
into the skin. or use any good hand
lotion If you prefer. then draw on a
pair of cheap cotton gloves-several
sizes larger than you wear by day.
Wash these out frequently so that
they are perfectly sanitary.
While there are ever so many
good hand lotions on the market
which you can buy for a small sum,
you can make an excellent one Of
equal parts Of rose water and gly-
cerine and a little lemon juice. If
you add few drops OF carbolio acid
to a bottle of rose water and gly-
cerine. it will add TO its efficiency.
Massage Effective
Lemon juice is excellent for the
hands, as It beaches them and re-
lieves that redness that is by no
means attractive. Extremely red
hands indicate faulty circulation or
some error in diet which cannot be
remedied by local application. Mas

But Uncle Sam wants to see the
American housewife have a merry
Christmas, devoid Of all household
drudgery. So his economic experts
have gotten out suggestions for de.
licious Yuletide dinners that will
please the palate and at the same
time save the pocletbook.
indianapolis poultry dealers say
that turkey will lead the fowl sales
again this Christmas, so Uncle Sam
has chosen for his first dinner sug-
gestion the turkey dinner for five
persons not exceeding $40.
The dinner includes turkey and
chestnut filing, giblet gravy,
mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts,
celery, cranberry sauce, tomato all
spice, salad, plum pudding and hard
sauce, nuts, fruits and coffee.
Chicken heads the second type of
Christmas dinner for SIS. This COM
bination includes chicken, candied
sweet potatoes, caulihower, cram
berry jelly, grapefruit, nut salad,
mince pie and coffee.
The third and still less expensive
dinner costing about $3.50 would be
pork loin, sweet potatoes, scalloped
with apples, mashed turnips, lettuce
with mayonnaise, dressing seasoned
with chilli sauce, jellied fresh fruit
with cream, Christmas cookies and
coffee.

BEVERDGE TELLS
CONVENTION EVILS
Magazine Article Declares Few Party Leaders Control
Vote Under SyStem-DefendS Primary Plan.

Action Of resolutions committees I'm
party conventions does not represent
the opinion Of party members, former
Senator Albert J. Beverage pointed
out in an article defending the pri-
mary system in the current number
Of the Saturday Evening Post.
Both the Republican and Demo
cratic platforms in Indiana declared in
favor Of primary modification.
Describing procedure Of the aver
age convention resolutions commit
tee. Beverage wrote:
ION all questions wildly before the
people that committee with fair ac-
curacy states the opinion of the rank
and file Of the party voters. But on
new subjects in which the people
are not interested, the committee
puts In all kinds Of proposals. Usual
ly these are innocent and are meant
to placate noisy groups Of voters. But
often very few determined men
force into the party platform a
pledge Of which the party voters
know nothing and which they would
object to IL they did know"
When the platform reaches the
convention floor. Beverldge recalls
that gag rules usually prevent in
telligent discussion and objection of
the document which has been read
in a perfunctory manner, while the
delegates pay no attention or engage
themselves In trading for the nomina-
tons.
Beveridge realistically described
the deals OF convention bosses.
1.-TWO or three party leaders sat
in a room at the hotel, smoked
cigars, and did the consulting, con
ferring and concluding for the dele
gates; and when they had decided,
passed out theword as to whom the
delegates should nominate. And,
generally speaking, the delegates did
as they were told"
How county and district leaders Sc
lect the nominees for public office
also was outlined.
Says one OF them to another, You
want your man for State auditor,
and want my man for State treas
urer. I'll, give you so many votes
for your man, if you'll give me so
many votes for my man.
"'That's reasonable says the
other county or district leader. Just
wait a minute till l see the boys, but
don't worry, for it'll be all right
Bargains Told
presently the two confer again
for an instant. L agree says the
one. Done, says the other, and
the nomination is made according to
the bargain"
Under the convention system.
