SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
By Helen Rowland

Gods Gift to Woman
VERIFY, my Daughter. Gods
greatest gift to woman is
hAr IMAGINATION!
The Washington times., 1929-09-02

Gods G1IC To woman
VTERILY. my Daughter. Gods
' greatest gift to woman is
her IMAGINATION!
For. thereby, doth she glorify
and sanctify that mundane emo
ton which men call love" and
thus make the world safe for
Romance.
Behold, when a man gazeth at
q woman, he seeth only that
which meeteth his eyes. But
when a woman looketh at her
lover, she seeth a vision OF no.
bility, strength and spirituality
such as never inhabited a dinner
coat or wore a pair Of plus fours.
Go to. A. woman in love per-
ceiveth a brilliant intellect be-
hind a pair of. horn-rimmed spec
tacles, and glittering wit In
ready tongue and line Of canned
jokes.
Through the rose.colored glasses
of her imagination a few sparse
locks scattered across her Be-
loved's forehead are as Hyper
ions curls, and a pair of padded
shoulders appear as symbols OF
masculine strength and beauty.
=. Yea, the mingled scent, OF hair
tonic, shaving cream and tobacco
ia as incense in her, nostrtis when
she layeth her cheek upon serge
coat lapel. i5'
Thus doth a woman exalt her
lover and make him Prince
Charming while the spell of love
Is upon her, And, woe unto him
who would tear the veil from her !
eyes and rob her of her illusions!
For, IL she could not glorify
him, how could any woman lose
her heart and head over the pro
sale creature with the. convict,
haircut, the casual caress and
the robust appetite whom she
calleth her Beloved?
Verify, verify, a woman's love
IL not blind! Nay, it is astig
matte, myopic and slightly cock
eyed! But. it, SEETH many
things. @.s'. - ,.-....
1t gildeth and magnifyeth all a
mans charms. and endoweth him
with all those virtues which he
doth not possess.
1t TRANSFORMER the half-por-
ton into a sheik, the dimwit into
highbrow, the scapegrace into
an injured saint, and the weak
ling into a herman.
Thus doth the woman.charmer,
who deceiveth women, continue
to "'get by" and to be forgiven.
But, he that UNdeceiveth a
woman receiveth no mercy! For,
a woman will not forgive him
who awakeneth her from her

TARIFF IN NOVEMBER
Chairman Of Finance Committee
Reviews Situation With
President Hoover
WATSON NOT so CONFIDENT
Says Senator Robinson Assured
Him Coalition Will Not De.
feat the Measure

Washington. Oct. l2.-(Fp-Chair-
man Smoot Of the senate finance
committee, after conference with
President Hoover today. expressed
confidence the senate would reach q
final vote on the tariff bill by Novem-
Der 20.
The senator said he had reviewed
the situation surrounding the tariff
bill with the president
Although asserting the Democratic
Independent Republican coalition has
powers enough to defeat the bill,
Smoot said he had assurances from
Senator Robinson of Arkansas. the
Democratic leader. that this was not
the intention of his party colleagues.
Watson Not Confident
Smoot was more confident of speedy
progress than Senator Watson. of In
diana. the Republican leader. who
yesterday informed Mr. Hoover it ap-
peared impossible to finish work on
the tariff measure before December
because of the many controversial
rate schedules still to be acted upon.
Senator Smoot returned to the cap
itol and called for a conference with
the Democratic leader to map out a
program which would assure speedier
action.
Despite the optimism expressed by
Smoot. there were apparently well
founded rumors that some Of the Re-
publican regulars were prepared to
defeat the tariff legislation rather
than permit bill written by the
Democratic Republican Independent
coalition to be enacted.

New York, Oct. l2.-lF)-With a
last appealing message not alone to
the British and American people but
70 all the nations Of the earth. Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald has
brought to an end his peace mission
to the United States.

fore going to Canada to begin there
the Stupendous task that lies ahead
In working out the many problems to
the solution OF which he and Presi-
dent Hoover have pledged themselves.
In this talk. which continued for
nearly an hour, the prime minister
gave some intimate details Of how he
and the president carried on their
personal negotiations.
Appeals For Patience
More than that, he undertook to
again reassure the world that what
took place was solely for the promo
ton Of universal peace and he ap-
pealed to the American people for
patience, for understanding. for good
will while the British people are re-
placing the old furniture OF their

entire course Of our conversations
there has never been any idea what
ever Of an exclusive understanding
between Great Britain and the United

The British statesman introduced
his description of the conversations
between himself and Mr.. Hoover by
saying that they did not try to
maneuver each other into position or
out Of position.
We tried, as I have said. for no
alliances and no balances Of power
he asserted. I'VE did not sit down to
play . creeping and waiting game. We
did not watch each other as swords
men watch each other or as prize
fighters study the faces Of each other.
We did not begin by Offering little
things. trying to best each other and
then to advance step by step and
stage by stage as the one forced the
other. We did not examine state
ments meticulously In order to discov-
