Washington.-The organization Of
the western progressive group OF
senators to influence both legisla-
ton in the SEVENTEEN congress and
the selection of the next Republican
presidential nominee is one Of the
first important political events in a
big political year.
Within that year we shall see
what promises in many ways to be
an extraordinary congress, primaries
and state conventions, the two ma
tional conventions, a hot election
campaign-(probably) and the cleo
ton of the next president of the
United States.
The new progressive bloc" head
ed by Norris and Borah, is sure to
be powerful factor during the next
congress because Of the nearly even
strength q Republicans and Demo-
sives will be Republicans, but if
any rcactionary legislation is passed
over their PROSTATE forms it will be
only with much help from the DEM
ocratic side Of the aisle.
To lesser extent, the progress
sives, if they hold together, may be
expected to influence the Republic
can presidential nomination. Every
one knows that Uncle George Nor
ris I'D their nominal candidate - will
not be named, but it is likely that
their united front will at least pre-
vent nomination of such men as
Coolidge and Hughes, whom they
regard as reactionaries.
Il
Borah's apparent enthusiastic
agreement to accept generalship
in the little progressive army is one
Of the most interesting political de-
velopments to date. It is regarded
as extremely significant by those
who will tell you that Borah's whole
life in recent years has been guided
by consuming ambition to attain
the presidency.
It is hardly fair to assume, how
ever, that Borah,s reasons for aban-
doning his splendid isolation to join
the other boys were tinged with
guile. It would be equally. fair to
suggest that his fellow progressives
may include among their hopes the
possibility that through their efforts
Borah might possibly be nominated
It is also true, however, that
Borah had been off on a perch OF
his own for a long time, with nc
roosting companions. His failure

SAME and SINNER
~ Anne Austin

Before they had circled the large
living room, gracious and colorful
and dim, almost cathedral-like with
its Gothic windows, its vaulted cell
ing and rich walnut furniture and
Oriental rugs, Faith felt that she
had never really danced before. The
magnetism Of Bruce Patton flowed
from his trim, smart body into hers,
drew her irresistibly into perfect &C
cord with the rhythm of his pulse
and the rhythm Of the music.
She felt Cherry's eyes upon her,
as her sister danced dispiritedly,
sulkily, with George Pruitt. She
felt, too, the blue, angry fire Of
Bob's eyes playing upon her, send
ing out mute, powerful waves of
protest. But she could not subdue
this rare brilliance that had come
upon her, could not force herself
to become awkward and breathless
and tired of the dance.
He had been murmuring compli-
ments upon her dancing, his voice
q soft, insinuating caress, and she
had been parrying them with a
sudden new experiences that amaz-
ed even as it cxhilarated her. But
when he said, holding her suddenly
more closely, so that the natural
attitude Of the dance became a
deliberate embrace, gorgeous
thing! And Cherry said you were
cold! You'll" She was frightened.
"I'm tired" she murmured, max
ing her contralto voice plaintive.
"Dance with Cherry now, Mr.. Pat
ton"
"You're afraid Of mel" he exulted.
"Dance with Cherry? I'm going to
dance with you all evening, and I
shall fight q duel with anyone who
tries to cut in on us. Your hus-
band, by the way, seems to be q
master Of plain and fancy glover
ing. Fearful habit to get into, real

The Man in Clairyaux Prison

The worlds most miserable wretch sits in
the prison at Clairvaux, France, waiting for
the end Of 20-year Jail sentence. For him
it's not much to wait for. For the end of that
term is likely to spell merely the beginning Of
his suffering. He is the man convicted of be-
traying Edith Cavell, the heroic British nurse,
into the hands of the Germans.
Fate has played upon this man, if he be in
nocent, despicable trick. In all the category
of human crime, the name traitor stands OUT
among the blacklist. And the man who would
betray woman to her death wears the stamp
of the devil upon his brow.
Suppose, as he says, that he is innocent, and
it was his double who turned over Miss Cave
to be shot. Can he ever escape the shadow OF
that evil mark lodged against his name? Wher-
ever he goes, will he not be pointed out as the
man who went to Jail as traitor? The bars
of the Clairvaux prison are unkind to him, bul
an accusing world can be unkinder.
There seems to be the sha0ow of doubt
about his guilt for this deed. His trial. they
say, was not all it should have been. He was
chosen as goat" he says, because of pre-
vious violations Of the law of which he had
been found guilty, and hurried into prison
Death would have been kinder.
The old jailer at Clairvaux says he knows
Quien is innocent. He knows men. he says
and is sure Quien could not have done this. Ir
justice it seems the man should have q new
trial, and be given every opportunity to prove
his contention.
Even if he should prove it, would the world
believe?

bath, many lazy authorities claimed
it was unhealthy-that one would
catch a cold through too much
bathing. The daily bath is now rec
habits.
When the first cold-storage meat
was shipped from Brazil to France
Is years ago the French would not
let it land, claiming that the meat
would be ,unwholesome. 1t was
finally landed in England, md this
no doubt contributed very greatly
to the present good habit of the
Englishman in eating SO much roast
beef. The arguments against meat
eating that you hear today are rem
nants of the same reasoning used
at that time-that flesh food spoiled
soon after it was killed and became
poisonous if kept too long. Those
who have dared to investigate have
found that properly killed steer
meat is made more wholesome if
refrigerated for sc. eral months.
Some people still believe that
acids and milk make bad combina-
ton. I recently read an article by
one health expert" who said that
he had proved there was nothing to
good or bad food combinations be-
cause he found patients could drink
milk and eat fruit at the same time
VII any bad consequences. He
did not know it, but he was simply
stating a discovery made by prac-
teal dietitians many years ago that
milk combined perfectly with acids
being more easily digested in this
combination than if used alone. He
apparently did not ow that if
bread is added to this otherwise
good mixture excessive fermen-
tation is set up, often producing
very serious consequences.
Even today many physicians teach
that athletes die young because OF
taking too much violent exercise
The truth is that their deaths are
caused by not continuing to exercise
and fastened by overeating.
Some doctors are still advising
weak patients to go to bed and eat
PLENTY Of nourishing food. The new
idea is to encourage the weak pa.
tient to exercise to gain strength anc
at the same time reduce the guam
tity Of food used and select food Of
a better quality.
Breathing night air was only Z
short time ago considered very dan

to cooperate aggressively with other
progressives often inspired their ire
and sarcasm. Some of them regard
ed him with ever more bitterness
than the Republican regulars did,
for they felt themselves victims of
a heart-breaking desertion by their
''leader," whereas to the regulars
Borah's detection was old stuff.
The popular impression that
Borah was a progressive leader also
began to die during the last con-
gress, which found more and more
progressive attention being turned
to Norris, the old war-horse.
But he has now assumed joint
leadership with Norris in the west
ern senatorial group and may be-
come the dominant force, for Nor
ris is not jealous man.
| * Is
In so far as Borah's presidential
hopes are concerned, the point is
that the prospective consolidation Of
the progressives gives him about
one chance in ten thousand OF NOM
nation. Before this he has had no
chance whatever. It might conceiv-
ably happen that a healthy little
group of Norris delegates would be
in keystone position at the conven-
tion,s assuming terrible deadlocks
and all sorts of even more unlikely
possibilities, which would enable it
to obtain the nomination of pro-
gressive like Borah.
Obviously, Borah's prese t
"chance" is only to be distinguished
microscopically from the utter hope
lessness Of his position few weeks
ago, but one finds weisenheimers
here who insist that Borah had it in
mind when he busted off and donned
his old uniform.
Some of the leading candidates
are bound to cast longing eye to-
ward the progressive group, hoping
| for eventual aid at the convention.
There is reason to believe that none
of them will wilfully antagonize thu
western senators during the months
that separate us from the Republi-
can convention.

about Uncle George Norris, who
says that the more or less progress.

How To Improve

The secret Of Z good complexion lies
in having q youthful fresh-loolxing skin.
Age has not az much to do with the
possession Of this valuable charm as
many people suppose, for many women

white. soft fresh looking skin and radi-
ant compilations. On the other hand
many girls still in their teens have old.
looking skin and poor complexions. The
reason for this lies in the care given
your face and hands. Any woman who
desires q good, clear. youthful looking
white, pretty skin should get from her
Druggist = little Ice-Mint and apply
this at night just before retiring. This
