POLITICS IS LOST

Wives Of Candidates Give Way

hysterical woman whose interests in
the proceedings were more personal
and less buslness-like.

Mrs. Smith There
Besides Mrs. Smith, the wives of
three other candidates were sitting
in the convention hall when eulogles
of them rang through the hall.
Mrs. Atlee Pomerene. wife of the

Smith and listened attentlvely to the
address nominating her husband,

women in the front row of the
boxes.
"Of course We know where the
nomination is going. and l person.
ally am very happy" she said, but
1t Just seems to be politics that my
husbands friends think it is best to
put his name up, even though the
Ohio delegation will switch their
votes to Smith very quickly"
Smiles at Ohioans
During the brief Pomerene dem
onstration she smiled at the pranc-
ing Ohioans as they filtered over to
her box to extend their congratu-
latlons.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 49,
Mountains of flowers, produced by
the friendly Oregon soil, move down
Portland'S streets in majestic array
this week when all the Oregon
country pays tribute to the rose.
This unusual show--known as the
Rose Festival - opened Monday

Today the Queen presided over an
elaborate ceremony in the audi

flowers from everywhere will COM

The big event of the week is the
floral parade Wednesday afternoon.
1t is an all flower procession with
hundreds of floats entered.

Each night during the Festival
Portland's large open air stadium
will be used for presentation of the

with scenes of historical fact, the
whole creating an impression of
vivid beauty and showing in detail a
modern civilization.

-Four members of the American
Legion died in the Centralia riot.
In behalf of the men now in prison
it is claimed that the trouble was
deliberately started by the Legion
men in an effort to drive members
of the I. w. w. out of the city.
1t is declared further that the
trial of the case took place in an
unfriendly city, before an outspok-
emily anti-labor Judge, in an at
mosphere of anti-red hysteria; that
fifty American Legion members in
uniform sat in the court room
throughout the trial, paid for their
time, instructed to keep their eyes
constantly on the jury.
Seven of the jurors have sworn
to affldavits that they believed the
accused men were innocent, but
finally brought in a verdict Of guilty
because they were terrorized.

ers of tissue to reach the part of the
body required" he explained. you
can imagine-it was like working in
cave, without sufficient room for hands
and instruments The patient was in
much greater danger than in normal
cases, of course"
Indeed, it was this condition which
led to the founding of the obesity clinic,
the first established for the purpose of
scientifically fighting fat Many pa
tents who came to the hospital were
found to be dangerously overweight, and
physicians and surgeons wanted some
agency whereby those facing surgical
treatment could be brought somewhere
near normal weight before their trial.
And not only has DR.. Bauman directed
the weight reduction of scores of such
persons. but for purposes of scientific
observation and records he and his
personnel have kept in touch with many
after they have left the hospital, thus
keeping track of cases where the fat,
like the cat, came back, and the prob

Banana Growth.

EVERYBODY knows that in the
- stores the punches of bananas dis
played hang bottom side up. That is
the way they grow, and what most
people regard as the top of the bananas
is really the bottom. The punches on
each stalk are called hands," and grow
alternately'on the stalk
The hands that have odd numbers
are on one side of the stalk and those
that have even numbers on the opposite
side. On full stalk the number of
bananas to a hand can be definitely
computed, as the number of bananas
in a hand contain one less than the
preceding hand. This is invariably the
case.
A section of the banana also divides
naturally into three pieces, shaped like
a piece of pie. Natives of banana-grow-
ing countries always scrape the mealy
covering off the fruit before eating it;
as they consider it detracts from the
flavor.
The rootstock, which is perennial,
sends up a number of suckers which
bear a circle of large, snowy leaves at
a E1ight of to 40 feet above the ground.
After about two years Of growth, Pc
culiar, Scaly heart-shaped buds deVel-
Ope, anc as these mature from under
meath a blossom appears which points
upward. Sometimes one bud will pro-
duce more than 100 flowers
The fruit Is gathered when green,
and the stalk upon which it grows is
then cut down or allowed to Wither
away, as 1t never bears a second crop.
Two or three of the many new suckers,
which appear as soon as an old one Is
cut. are left to produce later crops.

of fat The intake must be cut down
or the expenditure of energy speeded
up. No drugs or other similar agents
can safely be relied upon to change this
basic fact.
Most of the patients who come to
the clinic are women. There are two
reasons for this-first, that women are
more prone than men to become fat
as they grow older, and, second, be-
cause they worry more about their per-
sonal appearance. But when it comes
to understanding their own situation,
women show to no special advantage"
DR.. Bauman tells of many well-to-
do tat women who are included among
his patients Some of them possess
automobiles servants to do everything
for them, country and town homes and
chefs of notable skill Invariably the
doctor tells them the sad truth that
they must. in effect, stop eating rich,
highly spiced, temptingly palatable
foods, walk miles in As minutes or
less each day, and for 10 minutes night
and morning practice calisthcnics.
The results vary One woman came
to the doctor time and again. Yes,
she exercised and she had cut down
III her food, but her dresSmaker couldn't
report any lessening of growth So the
doctor finally gave her a list of things
she could eat, and told her to eat
nothing else. She confessed she
couldn't carry out his instructions.
Il don't know" she said, in effect,
how can get things arranged. 1
determined to diet, but the chef puts
such tempting food on the table 1 have
to eat it. He's been with us so long
and it would break his heart If I
pushed his dishes away! Besides, they
are so good. The mans an artist, ard
ii l offend him I might lose him. ]
Just don't know what to do"
So the doctor had to take up the
conversion of the chef and now he
considers it part of his general problem
to work out recipes wherein so-called
low-caloried foods take the place of the
buffers, etc. that the artist chefs love
to use; to plan ice substitutes for rich
ice creams. And a corollary of this
endeavor is correcting, from an anti
fat point of view. the eating habits of
successful men. Many of the doctors
patients are men who have worked hard,
won a competence, and then settled
back to enjoy life. Some of them have
big eating habits and go on eating

of one admiring the acuteness that sees
through his deception.

he remarked, with meaning smile.
Mademoiselle's pale face of bewilder-

least understand, he went on:
"Ah, thought you might have heard

Nobody in particular. Professor of

from that, he was, so every one says,

spent part of it in having his verses
printed at his own expense. That was
easy enough. But to dispose of them
afterward! That took more ingenuity!
At first he tried-so the older men in
the trade have told me-to give them
away to real poets. real authors. And,
when they laughed at him too much, he
took to forcing himself on young people,
nobodies, children. II was tit for tat.
If he told them they had genius. the
least they could do was to accept a
dedicated copy of his poems, wasn't it?"
The dealer gave a disdainful push to
the pile of green volumes. 1T came to
be bad joke-we were sick of seeing
those dedicated volumes come in, leaves

have stopped of late. Probably he is

and put the covers on their notebooks"

wall, looking down unseeingly at its Ii

little. And crying, too.
After time she wiped her eyes and

She bought them all. There were not
