PLACATING THE SOUTH

Senator Robinson as the vice. presidential candidate with Al Smith has the design of placatng the south, which some observers say will not be as solid!y Democratic behind Smith. The Arkansas senator is good material on the ticket ire spec,iye of political considerations hich may put him there. It did not require the few days of function ing as permanent chairman of the Houston convention 10 prove his adapta bility. He has been yirile candidate for the vice president nomination for months.

to the prim ankles and when it was debated most seriously whether the new fangled machines known as automobiles would ever be fit for the fair sex to drive. True. some of the more adventurous went horse back riding" occasionally, and were dressed especially for the ordeal in tune" But they were not overly numerous.
 How the girls have changed. Sev- eral teams of them played baseball In Walnut Hill park last year and no doubt will do the same again this summer. and so unimpeded were their neither eXtremities that those we saw one warm summer evening didn't need bloomers at all.
 If memory does not play nasty stunt. 25 years ago was the time when certain eminent feminists claimed that women. in order to be more equal to men, should wear trousers or bloomers, and also wear stiff collars and have their hair cut a la man. The trouser agitation didn't get very far, however, prob ably because women on the whole were too sensible, knowing fully that to adopt mans attire would be a step in the direction of making life more miserable rather than more free. Since that time it is man who has convinced himself that women's garb in the summer time is the most sensible ever invented by the hand of man-or the brain of women. As q matter of fact, we don't know who invented women's garb, but we know it is the most sensible.
 Getting back to the Bloomer Girls. the baseball players. we'll bet they long ago have retired and went through the satisfactory ordeal of teaching young sons how to play ball like their mamas used to play.

 II was such a night as Adam wan- drrcd over the Garden of Eden in sreach of Eve.
 As Antony poured out his need of clcopatra. As Paris lured the beau- ;itul Helen. As
 Well, anyway, it was night for love and lovers,
 A long. 1.-the roadster sped along the highway. In the narrow seat were q man and girl. They were the stars returning from the final performance of The Mask and Skull musical comedy "She Stoops to Garter"
 The girl sighed suddenly. The man slipped an arm around her. They were alone, alone in the glori- ous night.
 Suddenly the soft purr of the mo- tor stopped with a gurgle then balk- ed effectively at the side of the roa d in the shadow of a great friendly tree.
 Something the matter with the car, darlingH" she asked innocently, while the light that lies in woman's eyes and lies and lies, did their stuff.
 "Out of gas" he answered frightfully unorisinal. A pause and then
 He pulled her to him and kissed her thoroughly on her opened lips! He kissed her again and again.
 Suddenly she pushed him away vehemontly. and cried out: Good Heavens, What are We doing?"
 Then it daWned on him with the force of thunderbolt, He split the air with blue curses as he pushed her from him with brutal rough ness. And she said few words of her own. Hot ones,
 They sat as far apart as possible as he started the car again and drove off furiously.
 They had forgotten
 That they were Fraternity broth
 That the season for college the atricals was ended
 That 'shc" could now grow that cute mustache that the town girls went simply wild over Z!

j. M. Thomason's house caught
fire on Friday of last week and
came near being burned. When
discovered the roof was ablaze, and
it was only by the utmost efforts
of Mr.. Thomson s.ri couple of

house was saved. A hole about
four feet square was burned in
the roof. The building is insured

will thoroughly enjoy themselves,
as the Masonic Fraternity of

making affairs of that kind pass off
agreeably when they undertake it,
and they seem to be in earnest
now, as if they meant business.
On Monday evening the peace
and harmony of our usually quiet
town was disturbed by a couple of
knockdowns, one occurring at each
of the principal hotels. In one
case an irate lightning rod man
pitched one of his former employ
ees with whom he could not get a
satisfactory settlement. No very
serious damage other than the
rending of a coat was done and
the matter was settled the same
evening in court Of justice by the
aggressor paying fine of $40 and
costs amounting to SO. The
other trouble was brought on by
abusive language and ended after
an interchange OF few blows, the
party who provoked the assault
getting the worst of,it.

of two years, daughter of Parson
