Cope With Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Aroused by the fatalities in the labor
outbreak yesterday at Marion, N. c.,
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana,
proposed that the Senate manufac-
turers' committee go to that section and
investigate.
Little hope was held out for such a
program. however. Chairman La Toilette
of the committee, recalled that the
committee would require specific au-
thorization from the Senate in order to
go to North Carolina or to make an in
yestigation.
With the tariff bill holding full sway
in the Senate, there is little prospect of
obtaining the necessary authorization in
the opinion of the interested Senators.

 What, you ask, had been happening to Robert Graves prior to his marriage to and divorce from "lovely Lorraine" Miller Graves! At this point, another magnetic feminine figure enters the story. She was the former Miss Mar. garet J. P. Loughman, who at the age of twenty had married Henry B. Plant. sixty, . widower and founder of the famous Plant system.
 Despite the remarkable discrepancy in their ages, the match appears to have been an agreeable one; at all events, . durable one, for it lasted twenty-five years, the old magnate dying at the age of eighty-five-they had been welded in lSsl-and leaving . fortune estimated at $20,000, 900. Of this huge sum the widow demanded 5000, ,000-and got it! That same year Mrs Plant and Graves were mar. ried in secret. Five years later Mrs Plant-Graves died, bsqueathing to the widower $S,000, 900.

the prestige of imposing wealth. But it was really her popularity more than her wealth that made her the unique figure she was and is in society.
 Even during her matrimonial compli- cations-she was legally severed from Graves in Paris-no one could be found to criticise her, and her sons, Kingsley Swan and Richard Graves, basked in the reflected light of her immense in- dividual vogue with men. women and children alike.
 Although usually a frequenter of Palm Beach, during the season." it was noted by society chroniclsrs in January, 1923, that she was missing from her familiar haunts; but, after a mysterious interval, she duly arrived at the Everglades Club with her inti. mate friend, Mrs. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte. The report that Bob" Graves was eager to re-marry her fitted about in company with another report: namely, that . cryptic "Mr. w." was ardently offering "Lovely Lorraine" his hand and heart.
 This mysterious person turned out, of course, to be no other than Ben. jamin Wood who, at the age of forty nine and after two divorces, had met Lorraine while she was seeking he, freedom.
 He is tho son of Feranando Wood three times Mayor of New York City-and . brother of the eminent Henry A. Wise Wood.

 With this bold statement, two Greek scientists have just m. nounced their unalterabls intentions of solving for all time one of the art worlds most snigmatic mystsriss: the mutilated limbs of the famous Venus di Milo, now in the Paris Louvrs.

 Scarcely less puzzling than the miss. ing arms has been the question of what Venus was doing with them before she lost them. The French ensign, Dumont Durville, has description of it in his diary which at least sounds plausible. According to him, the statue was hold ing an apple in it's left hand, while tho right held . drapery fastened with . belt dropping to tho feet.

 Records of the period indicate that Mrs. Swan was obliged to consume more time in winning her freedom than ii customary today. But at last her liberty was granted her, and Graves could feel free to ask her to marry him.

 It was Mrs. Gravss's third effort to trap the marital bluebird of felicity. Likewise 1t was Mir. Woods third effort.

Now that woman is beginning to

frock and hat. cane and cigarette, If
she happens to use the latter, suggest
the masculine woman.
But we may be certain that the typi-
cal woman will not longer continue TO
be womanish. Let's hope that she'll
be womanly to the 100 per cent degree.
She has her chance, which means more
than the f1apper fling in which so many
are indulging.
To be womanly means to express the
strength of Woman's nature. To be
womanlsh is to place the emphasis upon
what's weak. When girl is modest and
lets man know where she stands she's
womanly. But when she fuses about
trifies, is affected, and whines, she is
using possible traits of the woman with
the effect of being merely womanish
Woman's life has always been filled
with trifleS in which Respect it's like

she need not display all these temper

The fault that find with my sisters

that We have leaped from the foolish
condition of mere womanishness to
what's mannish. OF course. we wanted
to get away from the ideal of woman
as the creature with a backbone like
chocolate eclair. but We didn't need
to become tough guys:
A girl can be 100 per cent womanly
without being any kind of man. Then
she can keep her hair short, cut her
skirt so that she doesn't need to lift it
in crossing the street and leave the
millinery off her hat.
She can do all these modern things
and still be woman. But the moment
she thinks she's nice man she makes
the mistake of her ltfe. The men may
be so cute as to encourage imitation,
but we'd better stick to our own models.

On the other hand. a child is just as
quick to initiate a smile that frequently
eliminates mothers face, or fathers.
Even the eyes will reflect the happy

The tone of voice used by parents is
one of the first things a child initiates.
Cross, imperative tones, assumed at first
merely through copying, may become
habitual in a child as in fathers or
mothers tone. Harsh voices and high
pitched words fall badly on the ear,
and it is pity to have them repro
duccd. Fortunately, the children will
be as ready to talk with the sweet
intOnations of parents voices if these
are the ones they hear. Such child
ish reproductions are sweet music to
parents ears and to all who hear the
prattle of little tongues.
It certainly is worth while to remem-
Der that faithful copying of parents
ways will come out in children. What.
then, shall they imitate-frown or
smiles, happy countenances or unhappy,
sweet voices or harsh? This is for par
ents to decide, and then to act upon.
