IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
(8y Stephen James,

One of Washington's precocious
young women has achieved some
distinction with a book of short
stories. and many a chuckle has
been heard over an alleged Incl
dent attributed to a certain man,
very high in official life. who has
achieved fame and renown as an
advocate of economy in govern
ment. The author claims he ar
ries the practice into his private
life.
One day. so the story goes, he
went into a store to make a pur-
chase. When he opened his poe
ket book, long unused. a moth
flew out.
AS a matter of fact, the stories
of Mr.. Coolidge's personal econo-
my are greatly exaggerated. The
President has a high conception OF
the dignity of his office, and per-
mits no pains nor expense to be
spared in upholding it.
But it may be guessed that he is
not reluctant to have told certain
stories rejecting his belief in econ
omy as a beneficient principle for
governments and individuals. Econ
omy is his badge, his trade mark,
so to speak, the banner under
which he has won distinction. He
is too shrewd a politician not to
appreciate its significance, yet too
much OF a man not to resent m
plications of parsimony.
An economy story with more
basis of fact, not in the book, but
known to attendants at the Execu-
tive Office, deals with one of Mr..
Coolidge's frequent window shop
ping excursions along F street and
Connecticut Avenue. On a news
stand he saw a copy of a five cent
weekly that he wished to purchase.
Finding himself without change, as
many another man has at one time
or another, he sought the loan OF
a nickle from n OF the Secret
Service men who invariably ac-
company him on these strolls.
For days thereafter he called the
Secret Service man into his Office
to inquire if the detective needed
his money. His companion, it
seems, always was in funds, and
never pressed his distinguished
debtor for payment. Finally, tir-
ing of the joke. Mr.. Coolidge re-
paid the loan. but he seemed to
the incident. Jarvis, the
Secret Service man, is just a little
proud of his role of creditor to
the President.

BOUQUET FOR OLD MAIDS

At last we have high scientific
authority on the value of old maids,
especially as compared to old
bachelors. After reading the opin-
ion reprinted below men will be
driven to the conclusion that ii is
wise to hire a mature but single
woman as a housekeeper rather
than to marry her, and thus bring
to his domestic organization the
qualities he himself lacks.
The chief of the Bureau OF eff
cheney at Washington. d. c.. re-
Gently gave out a statement in
which he pays high tribute to the
''old maid" as follows:
"The star of a woman's efficiency
rises as the thought of marriage
fails.
GAS she abandons the art OF self
decoration for the ensnarement OF
man her service to her employer
increases. She is at her best in
her thirties.
"This woman brings to her work
an enthusiasm and a loyalty that
is rarely equaled by any class of
workers. She comes to mother her
job, and the instinct OF motherhood
that dominates all women is
lavished by the old maid on her
After declaring that lappers
are low in efficiency, the chief thus
pays his respects to ''old bache-
1.-THE old bachelor, generally
speaking, is a failure in Uncle
Sans service.

maid, is selfish and does not get

A F"rER performing nor than

Bruce Deem. of Poplar Bluff, Mo,
admits that he knows far less
about marriage now than he did
when he first became a justice.

her hardly at all. She visits in
formally with close friends here,
being most often in the homes of
the two Virginia Senators, Senator
Claude A. Swanson and Senator
Carter Glass, both close friends
of Mr.. Wilson and still advocates
of his policies.
She keeps in touch with the
Wilson daughters, and conducts a
large volume of correspondence
with Wilson admirers, both here

working on the Wilson papers, and
perhaps is engaged in assisting

MARQUIS HOLDS RANK
BEST SPRING VARIETY

Marquis wheat which has been
recommended as the standard
variety of spring wheat for several
years is still in the lead. Several
tests made in various sections of
Roosevelt county have failed to
bring out any other variety that
can consistently outyield Marquis.
Varieties used in the tests include
Canadian and Montana varieties
which have shown up we'll in re-
cent years, among which are such
varieties as Reward, Renfrew,
Garnet. Ruby and University 222.
Reward
The Reward wheat has not
proved to be outstanding in any
way and in comparison with Mar
quis has yielded practically the
same or less. John Simpson of
Culbertson reports that it yielded
4 bushels less than Registered
Marquis. Earl Maltby of Wolf
Point and Percy Martin of Balm
vile report a yield slightly in fav-
or of the Reward wheat.
Ruby
Ruby wheat is an early variety
which has a tendency to shatter
when fully ripe. In the two re-
ported tests. Ruby averaged 4
bushels below Marquis. AS this
variety has been given thorough
trials in many sections and ac-
cepted as standard in few of them,
it is doubtful if Ruby will ever
be very popular.
RenfreW
The Canadian variety known as
Renfrew is later than the Marquis
and for this reason may suffer

Washington is interested in the
report from Latin America OF the
travels in the nations to the South
of us of two former mistresses
of the White House, Mrs. Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Mrs. Thomas
J.. Preston. Mrs. Preston was Mrs.
Grover Cleveland. She married
again several years after the death
of the former president.
1t is believed that Mrs. Roose-
welt and Mrs. Preston, who are
known to be close acquaintance,
will be together for a while south
of the equator, and perhaps may
make a portion of their sight-see-
ing tour in each others company.
Meanwhile another former
White House mistress, Mrs. Wood
row Wilson. goes quietly about
her daily affairs at the home at
2340 S street, which Mr.. Wilson
purchased for her just before he
surrendered the White House to
the Harding tenantry. Here Mr..
Wilson spent the last tragic days
of his life, and to this spot already
come many who revere the mem

day to do the same thing. Some
what akin to him is the fellow who
prices articles and then says he can
get them cheaper OF better else
where. The snappiest and only pos
sble answer 20 this one is TO tell
him to go to il.
Overhead expense is something
customers seem unable TO figure OFT.
They think that if an article is sold
tOr a few cents more than the
y holesale price the dealer can pock-
It the difference as clear profit.
This lack Of knowledge concerning
overhead leads to many arguments
and hagglings over price. II a quot
I'd selling price does not satisfy the
prospective buyer, he attempts some
such argument as this: We'll say
you paid s3.75 for these pants; if
YOU sell for 81 oyu make quarter.
Isn't that fair enough" >" And he
cannot be convinced that rental,
light. clerk hire. or donations to
''munieipal improvements prevents
this.
Rival merchants sometimes cause
considerable trouble, not so much by
lower prices as by uncthical attacks
on ones integrity. Some will stoop
10 stirring up racial or religious an
tagonism and, on often wholly un-
founded grounds, will create enough
antipathy TO take away an apprecl-
able amount OF trade.
But, as said above. il these things
have not driven the merchant bank
rupt or crazy, they have made him
into a first class philosopher, and
he will get n hearty lauhs out OF
each OF these human foiblcs.
