ENLISTED MEN ARE READING MUCH NOW
l5th Infantry iu China Has
 Little Else to Do

Tientsin. China, April is tP,-En- listed men of the Fifteenth infantry
 stationed in Tientsin do more read ing per man than the soldiers of any other post in the United States army. This is the meaning of a letter of conlmendation from the war depart ment in Washington received by tho barra cks library of the Fifteenth in- fantry, which stated that during the last year this library's records show ed higher ratio between total books loaned and the enlisted strength of the unit than was re- ported from any other post in the army.
 Conditions. of the service in China form the chief reason for this, says Captain Luther D. Miller. officer in charge of the library. Although civilians and officers usually find life in China full of interest. such is not the case with enlisted men, Captain Miller said. They come in contact with no real home life and decent associations and places of amusement open to them are few. The Fifteenth infantry's library is growing steadily and contains about 2,500 volumes.
 Two battalions Of this regiment. totalling about 800. are on duty in Tientsin. in addition to the Third Marine brigade, with its total of 5000.

CURTIS JOB ISSUE
Successor to Senate Is
Moot Point.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Behind
the scenes, Washington just now is
engrossed in speculation about a
quiet but apparently deadly battle
going on in the Kansas branch of
the Hoover organization.
1t revolves about when Charles
Curtis, Vice President-elect, will re-
sign as senator and Republican floor
leader, and whether Henry j. Allen,
Hoover's publicity director during
the campaign will succeed him.
Allen and Curtis have not been
friends in the past. Curtis, it is said,
would not like to see Allen in the
Senate. And if Curtis should re-
sign before the first of the year, the
present Governor of Kansas would
in all probability respect Curtis
wishes in the matter.
On the other hand, if Curtis re-
tains his position until the newly
elected Governor takes Office, Allen
stands an excellent chance of ap-
pointment.

Would You Let Your Boss Make Love-?

With words that burned, Hollis Hart told Ash
toreth AShe of his love-
He said he wanted her for his very own. He
wanted to know if she loved him.
But Hollis was the employer of Ashtoreth. She
was only his Stenographer.
Was it right FOR her to accept his declarations
of love? Should stenographer allow her boss to
make love" to ner?
Ashtoreth didn't think much about that. Hart
was millionaire, and he was the most sought
after man of three continents
What she did is part of the plot of Orchid the
story of modern moon goddess which starts Fri
day in The indianapolis Times.
But The Times wants to know what you think
of stenographers and their love-making bosses.
And The Times is willing to pay for your ideas.
