LET THE MARINES DO 1T

Chaperones are coming back into
style, according to social note,
Are the old people getting wild
again? The chaperon is
relic of the flaming Victorian days
when young people used to play
postoffice instead of robbing it.
Speaking of Coolidge's lame
hand, perhaps it would be well for
the president to take a chaperon
along when he rides west this sum-
mer. The chaperon could do the
handshaking in the great open
spaces where hands are box car
OF late We've
been depending on the marines to
do most of the chaperoning.
They have arrived in several com
munities and seem to have the
chaperoning situation well in hand.
The best chaperoned thing
we can think of right now is the
constitution.

WASHINGTON Al
LETTER .MN

WASHINGTON-It is not especially
surprising that Secretary Kellogg's
resignation is rumored to be impend-
ing, but the viruIence of this rumor
and the credence which it is given
by nearly everyone in Washington
is astonishing.
All around the town, the most
frequent question heard is not as
to whether Mr. Kellogg will quit,
but when?
No sooner does one get within
the doors of an embassy or legation
than this question is popped at him.
Another demonstration of the power
with which this ever recurring rumor
has gripped general ina agination is
to be seen in the regiment of names
which have been advanced as Mr..
Kellogg's possible successor. Here are
only few of them:
Dwight Morrow.
Herbert Hoover.
Irvine l.. Lenroot.
James w. Wadsworth
Alanson B. Houghton
John Bassett Moore.
David Jayne Hill
Charles Beecher Warren.
Your correspondent has long since
pointed out that only the most in
durable optimist could expect Mr..
Kellogg to quit-or expect President

one could be. Which makes this not
too enchanting glimpse of Alfred
Tennyson, given by Charles Brookfield
the English actor, in his Random

dining at the oxford Club with Ten

ner the poet insisted on putting his

Everyone is staring at you," said
another. Let 'em stare replied the
poet placidly.
Then said Mr. Brookfield's father,
people will think you're Longfellow.'
Down went the feet. But the holding
up of the prince of courtesy and fine

ill breeding is a joke that doubtless
the English to this day do not APP

The Lowly Great.

Charles Darwin made his home at
Down, quiet little English town; it
had a medieval air. and nothing ever
happened there. He had an unpre-
tentious shack where he was wont to
take crack at problems which were
more profound than other intellects
could sound. He took a ramble every
day, and as he logged along his way
he gossiped with the village wights
about their troubles and delights. He
wore a funny. ancient hat; its brim
was wide, it's crown was fiat. the most
disconsolate of tiles. the worst one in
the British Isles. He was as common
in his way as any poor, hard-worklng
jay. He fastened to the Widow Skow,
to help her with her ailing COW; and
he condoled with CATER Whiz. All
bunged up with the rheumatic: if there
was sickness he would chase to take
some comfort TO the place. He was
so friendly and so kind the villagers
were oft inclined acknowledging the
good he did. to buy for him decent
lid. The years rolled on and Charles
became the owner of a worldwide
fame: but when the villagers were told
that Darwin's name had been enrolled
with those of the immortal great, they
laughed until they lost some weight.
This Darwin was pleasant gent and
oft on kindly errands bent, he had
reputation fair and was respected
everywhere. but when it comes to be-
ing great. why, that's a foolish thing to
state, No great man would consent to
skid around the town in such lid.
And even yet old wights in Down are
puzzled by the mans renown. It's
hard to recognize the great in one
whose hat is out of date.
