Angry Vices
in Wake of
Girls Book
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON


A young woman by the name OF
Nan Britton has written a bulky
volume called 1.-THE Presidents
Daughter" in which she sets down
for the ediflcation Of a scandal
hungry public her love episode with
Warren Gamaliel Harding.
A daughter was the outcome of
this flaming affair, she claims-Eliz-
abeth Ann, in whose honor league
Tor the protection of illegitimate
children has been organized and
named.
Naturally this book will make a
great hit with the ghoulish-m minded.
Many will refuse to believe the tale
A vast majority will pity the girl.
All will gobble it up as a delectable
morsel Of reading.
There Is one American citizen,
however, who will arise from this
tale with rage in her heart. I re-
fer to the average wife.
The manner in which this girl
has pictured her siege for Harding's
heart, the way in which she rele-
gates his lawful wife to the back
ground as scarcely worthy Of con-
sideration, is enough to make a
woman wonder whether there Is
not something gravely wrong with
her sex.
Although MIR. Harding was thirty
years older than herself, Miss Brit
ton gravely tells us that she had
loved him from her romper days.
She also always had a premonition
that he would some day be Presi-
dent. She follows him up and down
and finally she gets him.
That is neither here nor there.
But reading it. you must wonder
whether honor lives within the soul
of the female. To go into another's
house, accept her interest and good
will, and then set out to capture her
husband seems just wee bit loathe-
some.

Don't Stay Gray! It Darkens
So Naturally that No.
body Can Tell.

You can turn gray, faded hair
beautifully dark and lustrous almost
oyer night If you'll get bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" ct any drug store for only
rs cents. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other
ingredients, are sold annually, says
a well-known druggist here, because
it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that no one can tell 1t
has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray
or becoming faded have a surprise
awaiting them, because after one
or two applications the gray hair
vanishes and your locks become
luxu-iantly dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around, so get busy with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound tonight and you'll be de-
lighted with your dark, handsome
hair and your youthful appearance
within a few days.-Advertisement.

Poor Yeronnl

The papers of her town only give
few inches to what is her life's
supreme tragedy to Verona Seminik,
%. To the papers it's just the same
story of the folly of woman in
love. Verona was plain, never had
many, or any, suitors. Then she
met HIM at a wedding. They began
going together" The wedding day
was set. The day before he told her
if she would give him her savings
he would invest them for her with
his own.
Verona drew her life's saw. IS
from the bank and gave them to
him happily. She never saw him
again. One gathers that Veronas
woe is not so much for the money,
much as that means to her, but for
a taking up OF drab gray monoton-
Gus day again with no rosy CLEAN
OF romance over them. Poor foolish
women we! Only too eager to clutch
at deception even while Stilling our
own suspicious by insisting that the
deception Is true romance!

Ashes to Ashes

But they are forced to stand it,
willy-nilly, when the putting sister
hood begins blowing its rings, let
ting the sparks fall where they may.
And as she blows, the fair smoker
delivers herself of many honily
about "narrow-minded women who
don't smoke" This is to me rank
intolerance, and narrow-m indedness
in itself. Women who do not smoke
harm no one by their abstinence.
Women who do, hurl their smoke
into the faces Of those whom it may
nauseate as badly as the smell of
frying fish nauseates some women.

Man Desires
feminine
Gentlemen
BY ALLENE SUMNER

TOO many women have forgotten
how to be ladies and have not yet
learned how to be gentlemen!" A
current magazine, woman's maya
zine, too, quotes this opinion from
a man who believes in the complete
independence and freedom of wom-
en-, but who believes. too, in free and
independent women being ladies"
The magazine agrees with him
editorial:y saying this
"Mey / Smoke"
"A gentleman used to ask a lady
if she objected to smoking. Women
smokers rarely ask such a question,
but puff their cigarets carelessly in
the face of any neighbor. Women
invade the smoking rooms Of men
where gentlemen hesitate to intrude
in a women's room. They fill the
dressing rooms Of hotels and Pull
man cars with smoke without re-
gard to the sensibilities of other
women"

"YoM're So NGrrO1O"

This very inconsistency of the
very women who prattle about
tolerance and broad-minde dness"
has always amused me. Most wom-
en- who smoke assume that most.
if not all, women who do not smoke
refrain from moral motive. The
truth is that most women who do
not smoke do not for the same rea-
son that they do not eat caviar can
apes or green turtle soup or smell
merigolds. They don't like the taste
or smell.

RETIREMENT PLANS
TO Be DISCUSSED
Joint Conference of Civil
Service Employees Will
Meet Here Nov. 2.

The Joint Conference on Retirement
Of Civil Service Employees, composed
o. more than so delegates from vari-
Gus groups of Government workers
throughout the country, will meet
here November to discuss it's legis
ativc plans for the coming session OF
Congress. Robert II. Alcorn is chair
man of the conference.
AS the name indicates, the confer
ence centers it's efforts on obtaining
improved provisions for the retire
ment of those men and women who
devote the greater part of their lives
to Government service.
Form Is Problematical.
While it cannot be stated in advance
of the meeting, to be held at Typo
graphical Temple here, what form of
retirement legislation the conference
will ask, it is more than likely it will
continue to work for a plan somewhat
similar to the one the employees fa-
vored in the last Congress.
The plan favored at that time con-
templated a maximum annuity OF
$1,000, arrived at by taking the aver
age annual salary during the last 10
wears of service of the employe, but
not to exceed 81 600, multiplied by the
number of years served, not to exceed
80 years, and the product to be divided
by 40.
Another New Provision.
This same bill contained another
new provision for optional retirement
after 80 years of service that could be
exercised before the age of automatic
retirement. For instance, employees
automatically retired at the age of 40
could exercise optional retirement
with 80 years of service at 65. Those
subject to automatic retirement at 60
could exercise the option at 81.
A retirement bill along these gen.
eral lines was advocated by the en-
Nloyes when the question was before
Congress early I'M 1926. but the House
and Senate passed different measures,
and in the closing days of the first
session of the Sixty-ninth Congress an
agreement was reached on the law
now in effect, which raised the maxi
mum annuity from $720 to $1,000 a
year.
