COLONEL TOMMY
 HANGS UP SWORD
Veteran Cavalry Officer on Duty
 4S Years

San Antonio. Tex. Aug. 2 OP =
 When the famous Seventh cavalry | paraded in July to the stirring strains of Gary Owens Own," Col. Tommy Tompkins" faced his be- loved regiment for the last time and ! hung his sabre on the wall after 43 years of service.
 Ever since he entered the serv- l ice as second lieutenant, Col. Selah R. H. Tompkins was "Tont- my to his men, and the army boasted no officer more picturesque. | His enormous moustache and whiskers. his military carriage and his tact as a commander made him a personality wherever the United States maintained troops, and he was one of the last officers who learned soldiery in the school whence came Custer and the h. dian fighters.
 Since 1920 Colonel Tompkins had commanded Camp Stanley, but week before his retirement he was transferred to the old Seventh Cav airy with which he had served 31 years, in order that he might leave the service with the troops he loved most.
 Son of Gen. C. H. Tompkins. cav airy leader in the Civil war, Colonel Tompkins fought in many an h. dian battle early in his service, serving once with Custer and win ming a citation for bravery in the battle of Wounded Knee. When Pershing invaded Mexico, Colonel Tompkins headed cavalry column which guarded the punitive force. He served in the Philippines, and led many skirmish against the Moros.
 Men in his command knew him as comrade in arms, and loved him for treating them "as humans" while keeping rigid discipline. When news of his forthcoming transfer from Camp Stanley got about, farmers of the region plan ned a farewell party for him. He accepted, but only on the condition that every non commissioned officer in his command be invited too.

COOLIDGE GIVES VIEWS
Anxious to Conserve Nations Oil Supply Without Violating Sher- man Antitrust Statute.

Rapid City. S. D.. Aug. 2 lP-Any reasonable program to conserve the nations oil supply which would not conflict with the sherman antitrust law, would, in the opinion of Presi- dent Coolidge. be in the interest of the public welfare.
 Mir. Coolidge would like to see or der brought into the oil industry whereby a stable supply at reason- able prices could be assured but he realizes that like most things gov erned by supply and demand 1t Is not always possible to work out a satisfactory solution.
 It was recalled at the summer white house today that some nego- tiations are under way to conserve the country's oil resources. Mr. Coolidge favors conservation and hopes that some way toward this end may be found which would not run afoul of the antitrust laws.

 All reductions in rates to Chicago will be effective in the combination rates governing the movement of the coal to points further west and north.

British Govt. Picks Those for
 the Queen

London, Aug. ? R-Political swirl around the British throne just as fiercely as in Parliament. Even the British queen is not exempted from the ups and downs of political parties. Queen Victoria could choose her own mistress of the robes but she was ruling monarch.
 Queen Mary, who is only a queen consort. may not. and consequently her mistress of the robes changes with the shifting of the government. The mistress of the robes is always, however, a duchess. The Duchess of Devonshire is the present incum- bent.
 Her duties include attendance at all state occasions. She stands be- hind the queen at courts, balls and the opening of Parliament. By cus- tom. if not by rule. the mistress of the robes wears black, black and white, gray or some neutral color. but she also is permitted to wear magnificent jewels.
 Queen Mary has only four ladies in waiting, six women of the bed chamber and one maid of honor. whereas Queen Victoria had eight each of ladies in waiting, women Of the bedchamber and maids of hon. or. This contrast is due to her status as a monarch and to reduc- tions made in the royal household for economic reasons.
 The present ladies in waiting are the Dowager Lady Minto, the Dow ager Lady Aairlie, Lady Ampthill and Lady Desborough. The single made of honor is the Honorable Ur- sula Law. niece of Lord Wenlock.

Parliament Women Are
 Good at Making Speeches

London Pl-Oratory Is sexless, parliamentary reporters of long ex- perience think.
 In the speaking of Margaret Bondfield and the Duchess of Atholl there is much that recalls the prominent male speakers of past generations in the House of Par liament.
 Miss Bondfield makes the same skilful use of her lorgnette that many male members of the House of Commons have made of their noseblasses, or spectacles. She never lets her hands get in her way never seems awkward or i'll at ease Her voice rises and falls effectively
 Miss Bondfield. the Duchess of Atholl and Lady Astor have had as many years of platform experience as most of the younger male mem- bers of the House of Commons They are constantly speaking under all sorts of conditions in their own constituencies. and have been fast to learn the successful methods Of platform oratory.
