More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES j. MONTAGUE
NOT so DIFFERENT
By JAMES

When Grandmother views with dis
may
The shingle, the bob and the wave,
And registers shock at the way
These awful young girls do behave
1 wonder sometimes if she's perfectly
She was staid and sedate and she
could be,
And if girls of her day were as prim
and demure
AS she fancies her granddaughter
should be.
In spite of the length Of her skirt
And the unscissored length of her
hair,
Is it true that she never would flirt
Or make use of an infantine stare?
Does she think that she knew no more
frivolous joys
Than sweeping and sewing and
baking.
And never went out with those terrible
boys
To dance until daylight was break
ing?
From what have read of the days
When grandmother still was girl
The 1naidens knew numbers of ways
OF keeping mems heads in a whirl
From a little round box came the
faint flush of red
Which illumined their innocent fea-
lures
And often I'm certain their grand
parents said:
"These girls are such hoydenish
creatureS!"
Their manners are different now;
Their manners are different now;
There is more of a maiden. to see
From the curl she thruStS back from
her brow
To her not always beautiful knee.
She's a little more versed in the glori-
GUS game
OF stringing along an adorer,
But at heart you will find she's ex-
actly the same
AS the danes who were flapperrs
before her.

NEW OFFICIAL

READING, Kans. (P--When F. B.
Houghton started working for the
Santa Fe railroad here 43 years ago
he was too busy to dream that some
day he would give orders governing
all trains instead of copying orders
affecting only a train or two.
Beginning as telegraph opera
tor, he received promotions, until the
board of directors elected him a vice
president in charge of traffic.
Thereupon, this town of 400 in
habitantS became more important

The wheels of government turn, but
ever so slowly. Those officials and

the heat just naturally "go native"

quently.
The latest morSel retailed to your
correspondent is the one about the
two groups of American bankers fight
ing about the presidents renomi-
nation.
It seems, according to this yarn,
that the international bankers are
opposed to a Coolidge third term,
while the commercial bankers over
ness interests, are very much in
favor.
One of the props of this supposition
is that the international bankers are
admittedly in favor of a low tariff
which would enable European cred
itors to pay off their debts. other
bankers and the manufacturers are
opposed. The administration is high
tariff. 4
One is advised that DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler was appointed to break
the ice and create the beginnings of
genuine anti-third term sentiment.
Butler has also been proposing a CO.
alition of democrats and progressive
republicans to lower the tariff. The
international bankers, so the gossip
runs, would like to see Butler can
didate at the next national conven-
ton, backed by wet delegates. Butler
could not obtain the nomination, but
his party might be a good anti
Coolidge bloc for trading purposes.
