1t looks as if we can
count on having one Of the

the Little Cabinet when this
group gets together for its
first meeting in the autumn.
And consequently we can
also count on having this
an all-masculine delegation.

temporarily at least from

The men who live by the
political pen say that "Charlie"

this office, if he will accept it.
However, his brother, Robert
Alphonso Taft, was an OVER

last week on his way, with Mrs.
Taft, to visit the formers
parents at Murray Bay, Canada.
Now this may only mean that
be was boosting brother Char

recipient Of a friendly invita-
tion.

starting today in Strong Boy" If
the title seems unusual it is no more
so than the picture itself, one of the
funniest films of the year, screened
under the direction of John Ford
from an original story by Frederick
H. Brennan.
McLagIen is cast as a burly bag
Page-smasher whose romance with
the girl who tends the newsstand.
Leatrice Joy. bids fair to go on the
rocks that streW the path leading to
matrimony simply because Victor,
serenely content with himself and
his Job, seems decidedly lacking in
ambition.
Leatrice seeks TO overcome this
obstacle by inspiring Victor to
greater things. Through a heroic
act he is promoted to a white COL

BRITISH ISLES
TO SINK, SAYS
GERMAN GHOST
SpeCter of Bismarck Pre-
diets Series of Disasters,
in Newspaper Article.
BY MAURITZ HALLGREN
United Press staff Correspondent

BERLIN, May 22.-PIague, de-
struction, war, famine and the dis
appearance of the British Isles from
the face of the earth-all these
things and more will take place
promptly at IL p. m. Saturday I'M
less the ghost of Prince Won Bis
marck" misses his guess.
In an article appearing in the
weekly newspaper, White Mountain
over the signature of the ghost of
the famous Iron Chancellor" these
dire things are predicted.
And if the above is not disaster
enough there are plenty of other
dire happenings slated for the cur
rent year.
The editor of the newspaper, Jo-
seph Weissenberg, fails to state
whether he actually spoke to the
ghost of Bismarck, but in view of
the detailed information contained
in the article, with dates and every
thing, it is taken for granted that
lie did.
According to the prediction OF the
ghost, England is due to sink be-
meath the combined waves of the
channel and the Atlantic; America,
Ireland France and Belgium will
suffer from tidal waves; famine and
destruction will break out stimuli
taneously at several points.
The ghost of the once mighty
chancellor also predicted that, on
June %, the enemies of this country
