BY a queer twist of political
fortune, the legislative pro-
gram Of President Herbert
Hoover will be handled in the
aew Congress by Senator James
II. Watson Of Indiana who
fought him for the Republican
Presidential nOniinafion, it was
learned tUday
The EARLY rsfIra lneTlt of Senator
Charles curtis as sephblican leader
OF the state, due 10 his election to
the Vice Presidency win be followed
by the selection Of Watson to the
leadership. The Indiana Senator
ontranks in seniority all other Sem
ators. who have been mentioned for
the post. and his election as leader
will be unanimous. He Undoubtedly
will take office as leader during the
coming short session OF the old
Congress. as rumor has 1t Curtis
will resign his post at once and
perhaps may ever retire from the
Senate before the first Of the year.
Hoover Satisfied
The selection OF watson as Sen
ate leader will be perfectly salts
factory to President-eleet Hoover, Ii
was learned, although Watson
fought Hoover at the Kansas City
convention, they have buried the
hatchet since then and the Indiana
Senator took the stump for the
standard bearer early in the cam
paign.
The elevation Of Watson will
mark the greatest change +. per-
sonnel of Congress. either in the
short session or after next March
4. Senator George Fl. Moses, Of
New Hampshire, again will be
chosen president pro tenn of the Sem
ate. In the House. the same Re-.
publican officials will be returned
to office. Representative Nicholas
Longworth of Ohio again will be
elected Speaker. and Representative
John @. Tilson of Connecticut again
will be chosen Republican floor
leader.
The retirement of Representative
Finis j. Garrett Of Tennessee, after
March will bring a new Demo
cratic floor leader to the House.
Representative John Garner OF
IeXas, one of the most popular men
in Congress, will be elected to this
post.
Watson Popular
The naming of Watson as the
new leader in the Senate has met
with the approval of Republica
leaders everywhere. There probably
has been no more popular member
of the party than Watson who has
host of friends in and out of
Congress. He will win the post

wise. Sometimes she promises
her children q certain small
pleasure and then goes off and
forgets all about It.
They never know what to ex-
pect. They would like very much
to have something upon which
they can depend. But mother

a fuss with the maid or meets
with some other serious disaster
like that.
That mother grieves 4 lot
about the punishment she has to
inflict upon her sons and daugh-

their punishment is mostly for

He is very bashful, and so am /.
liz this were to happen to my

'Hellot' and justify herself by
saying that she saw him every
working day. i, however. cannot
bring myself to speak to him.
Please advise me through your
column az to the best method Of
meeting this young man. thank
you so much. LILLUMS.
While ii may seem hard for inn
patient young folks to wait, am
sure, Lil1uns, that the best and in
fact the only wise and safe way
to meet this stranger who inter.
ests you, - by means Of an intro
ductiOn.
Ask your friends who work in
the same building whether they
know him and tell them frankly
you would enjoy meeting him It
he Is a suitable acquaintance for
you.
In this way you win doubtless
be introduced to him sooner or
later. provided any friend you and
he share in common il willing TO
undertake the responsibility Of an
introduction. Then you will have
the comfort Of knowing that your
acquaintance began In wise,
safe way, and so has a good
chance OF enduring and growing
into friendship.

Mrs. Goodsepse lives On 4 quiet
suburban street. There are chill.
dren in al tho pretty homes on
both sides of the street; ana every
day the little folks run back ana
forth from one yard to another.
Sometimes they ride their bicycles.
or roll hoops, or skate up and
down the broad street.
Wee Johnny sees the other chill
dren having q good time, and he
often follows his sister into the
street. Very few cars pass that
way; and when the residents drive
home they drive slowly. blow the
automobile horn and keep their
eyes wide open. That makes II
fairly safe for the children.
But the other day Johnny and
his mother were visiting his aunt
in the city. The street on which
the aunt lives is q favorite thor
oughfare for speed demons. OF
course, 3.year-old Johnny didn't
know that. SO. when his ball
rolled into the street, out he ran
