THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

The Water Girl, standing TODAY on
her pedestal in the home of Templeton
Jones, smiles bronze smile, happy in
her Christmas romance.
It is not every statuette that Is loved
nor every one that manages to find its
true destiny. Yes, inanimate things
have destinies, too.
The fate of the Water Girl was to
repoSe in the home of Templeton Jones,
connoiSseur. When the unknown crafts
man in Germany was fashioning her, he
was making her for Jones.
When she was put aboard a great
steamer, and brought across the sea to
America, she was taking the trip solely
to make one Templeton Jones happy.
Neither her maker, nor the steamship
company, nor the pretty little Water
Girl herself knew thing about Temple
ton Jones, any more than Jones did
about them, but fortune sometimes
works to happy ends
Therefore it is pleasing, and true, to
believe that from the beginning the
Water Girl was destined for Templeton
Jones, and Jones for her.
X X y X
The Water Girl stood exactly foot
tall, fashioned of bronze, holding in
each pretty hand water jug or jar of
the classical pattern.
Aside from these jars, the Water Girl
wore nothing, nor needed she anything,
such is the virginity of art.
Her little hands and feet were ex-
quisite, make the monstrosities given to
many flgurines which pose as art
work"
Distinct in a world of bright green,
clumsily executed figures, she lived atop
a lamp of blended marbles, beneath
VI he 1iol1 chNY1n
Jones first saw her in a store window
where she stood amid an assortment of
pottery, lamps, door stops, and other
articles from foreign countries. With
out the tiny electric light she far OUT
shone the collection.
When Jones inquired the price of the
Water Girl lamp, he was somewhat nom
plussed. Like most would-be purchasers,
he had placed figure upon the article
beyond which he did not care to go.
The price, alas, was far above his
maximum Jones reluctantly went away,
after admiring the balanced little figure,
standing bravely in a strange land,
carrying her empty water jars to an
unknown destination.

Several times at the Office that day
the worthy Jones found himself recall
ing her. Every now and then her finely
cut 1ace would come 10 mlnu. MOI
every statuette has q pretty face.
Mostly they are pie-faced, or have blunt
noses, or their hair is done too high in
a so-called Grecian knot.
Grecian knots, Jones thought, do
very well for Venus, but the styles have
changed since then, and modern ladies
In marble or bronze ought to be more
up-to-date in their hair dressing.
What Jones liked particularly about
his lady-he had got as far as regarding
her as individually his-was the appear
ance of bobbed hair, which she pre-
sented. A close inspection showed him
that her hair really was not bobbed,
but drawn around her forehead to re-
serable a bob.
She even had a modified knot, but
so small that it did not detract from
the general appearance of her shapely
head.
Templeton Jones reSolutely put her
out Of his head for the remainder of the

President Irigoyen's Escape.

Americans, who have mourned at the
biers Of three martyred Presidents Of
the United States, will not fail to extend
sympathetic congratulations to Presi-
dent Irigoyen of Argentina on his for
tuitous escape from assassination yes
terday. Satisfaction over his good luck
is heightened by the circumstance that
his would-be murderer, thanks to ex-
ceedingly effective action by the Presi-
dents body-guard, was promptly dis
patched. Senior Irigoyen Is spared to
complete his second six-year term as
the great La Plata republics chief
magistrate.
The attempt on the Presidents life
was political In motive. He has been q
stormy petrol In Argentine public life
for many years. First elected in 1915
he served In the presidency until 1922
In 1928 he was renominated and re-
elected by q two-to-one majority
Argentinians rejoice in President
Irogoyenis personality and even In his
idosyncrasies. There is something OF
the Roosevelt about him and his COCA
sional political explosions. The Iri-
goyenistas, as the Presidents faithful
party adherents are known, are not al
ways friendly to the United States, but
they left nothing undone last Winter
to welcome President-elect Hoover witt
marked cordiality. From the White
House yesterday q warm message o.
felicitation on his preservation wal
cabled to President Irigoyen.
As in the United States, 1880 con
gressional election impends in Argen
tina, when half Of the Chamber o
Deputies win be chosen. Financial Is
sues win be paramount In the cam
paign. The purchasing power Of tn
peso has fallen and the recent harves

was poor. The governments retrench-
ment policy let out $4,000 civil service
employees. Industrial unemployment is
widespread. The anti-Irigoyen party
expects to capitalize all these conditions
at the polls.
Yesterdays near-tragedy in Buenos
Aires was undoubtedly an expression
of the sullen discomfort which perme-
ates wide sections of Argentina. But
the world at large is glad that the eff
fort to eradicate political woes by the
bullet once again failed Of its mad pur-
pose.

Something is due to bust tomor-

signed up two fellows known for
their ability to hit like mule

ishment from the other fellow for

over Jack Roper, knocked out Veto

stayed out of the game for while
but returned several months ago
and has been going good around San

have to be, for Stabineau is no
slouch. His record is formidable,
including bouts with Johnny Risko,
Jack Sharkey, Long Tom Hawkins
and others. He is due to fight at

Prior to the Stabineau- Williams

ROBINS SPOIL
GOOD WORK OF
LEADING TEAMS
BY WILLIAM J. DUNN
Omitted Press Staff Corr respondent,

NEW YORK, July IS. Up)-The
Brooklyn Robins are doing their bit
toward making the 1929 National
League pennant race thrilling af
fair.
Brooklyn is headed nowhere in
particular but from their station in
second division the Robins have sue
ceeded in making their presence
keenly felt by the pennant conten-
ders.
Twice in the past week the Rob
iDs have booted league leader into
second place and they are showing
just enough strength at the present
to make the managers of eontending
teams admit hearty respect for
their ability.
Last Sunday the Chicago Cubs
held slim lead in the battle for
supremacy before they were called
TO face Dazzy Vance and his $25.-
600 delivery in the final of their
four game series at Brooklyn. After
nine innings of futile endeavor they
found themselves beaten, 8 to l,
and down in second place again.
The Robins went to Pittsburgh
for series with the Pirates and
were acclaimed as the team that
made possible the return of Pitts
burgh to first place.
If Dazzy Vance succeeds in stop
ping the Pirates this afternoon the
Robins will be lucky to get out of
Pittsburgh alive. In three games
played thus far in that city in the
present series, Brooklyn has won
two, and the victory yesterday
tumbled the Pirates out of first
place once more.
Nor are the Cubs and Pirates the
only teams to be directly affected
by the Robins attack. The New
York Giants are practically out of
the race today because they have
lost 10 games to Brooklyn. On form
the Giants should have taken at
least half of the games without un-
toward effort.
But the games went to Brooklyn,
and the Giants, as n result, are deep
in third place, faced with the prob
lem Of cutting down lead of eight
full games.
