Al the white house Claudius H. Huston was made chair
man OF the Republican national committee. AT the white
house he was unmade. From the moment the clamor
for his head began, after his testimony about the Union
Carbide company fund. he made two things plain. One
was that he would retire only by vote of his committee
or by request Of the president. The other was that, if
tne more polite course OF the request was followed, an
nouncement OF the resignation must come from him.
Inc request came. from the president; the announce
ment came from the chairman. It is reported in Wash
lngton that the visit to the white house was arranged
only after threats by Mr.. Burke, the national commit
tees counsel, and Treasurer Mutt that unless Chairman
Huston gave his resignation pledge to the president and
then made 1t public, he would be ousted by the ma
tonal committee on open demand by MI. Hoover. Some
day all the facts in this comical mystery may be known.
But the public record thus far strongly suggests that
the gray-eyed, tight-lipped chairman controlled more
factors than did his adversaries.
When the curtain finally falls on this political opera
bouffe it will be a drab world again. In many respects
there has never been a more entertaining show. Most
political performances are played behind the scenes.
These actors have belabored one another with. bladders
near the ~footlights. The climax Of the second. act came
when the chairman, after having glared down those
members OF the national committee who came to the
meeting breathing loud threats, ~laughingly informed the
newspapermen that when the special session of the
senate ended he would have something to say on tn
subject OF resignation. The senate quit. Two days
passed. Nothing from Mr.. Huston. After more con-
ferences with the president. the anxious counselor and
the treasurer located him in New York. It must have
been an unpleasant social event, that conversation. And
the one which followed at the white house couldn't have
been gay. It Is within the formula Of classic comedy.

Anniversary of
GENERAL WOODS DEATH

On August Z, 1927, Maj. Gen.

brain operation.
Wood entered the army as a sur-

GERMANY Visits Belrium

An extremely interesting advertisement is to be found
in the current issue OF q popular German magazine.
1t bears across the top, in large type, the words visit
Belgium!" There are pictures of famous Belgian cathe-
drals, words drawing attention to the international e-
position at Antwerp. the 1oo-year celebration of Belgian
independence, and the exhibition of Flemish art and
industry. Below there is a line reading: Excellent
travel connections with all Of Germany-entry free"
It is just 16 years since the Germans marched into
Belgium with an army. Today Belgium is inviting Ger
manys tourists. Could there be a better illustration of
the way in which war-bred hatreds die out?
British police are said to be puzzled by the unusually
large number of paintings stolen this year. So it seems
even Britain is not above an oil scandal.

The road to progress Is uphill and
unpaved. It is much easier for one
to stroll along the well-trodden trails
Of the past than to forge q way into
the unknown.
We always try to avoid e prob
lens Of thinking. Every new thing
has been condemned in its day and
generation by those who did not wish
to make the effort to understand its
meaning.
When railroads were first intro
duced, many objected because they
said that human beings would be
killed II they travelled over 20 miles
an hour. Today we have aeroplanes
travelling almost two hunrded miles
per hour. When automobiles were
first introduced, the pessimists cried,

there will no longer be a demand for
horses"

daily bath is now recognized as one
Of our best health habits.
When the first cold storage meat
was shipped from Brazil to France rs
years ago, the French would not let 1t
land, claiming that the meat would
be dangerous to health. It was finally
landed in England, and no doubt this
very broad minded attitude Of the
English has contributed much to the
eminence of their nation. It is well
known that the English are extremely
fond of their roast beef.
The arguments that you hear today

to investigate have found that prop

Many people still believe that acids
and milk make a bad combination. I
recently read an article by one health
expert who said he had proved there
was nothing to good or bad combina-

at the same time without any bad
consequences. He did not know 1t,
but he was simply stating q discovery

years ago that milk combined perfect

Here he stamped out polygamy and
tanned the Sulu chieftains. When he
returned to the United States in 1908
he was made chief of staff.
Wood was given inferior COM

he was thought to have given rise to
certain views on preparedness which
were unfavorable to the administra-
ton.
In 1919 he announced himself a
candidate for the Republican norni-

"No-not you. Judy" he said
quickly. "Of course. not you. Well.

Judy nodded. catching her breath.
"His-Mr. Steyne's-I know! He
gave her the frame not long ago"

on. because she had shown It to
me at the cafe-I suppose It wa
the day he gave It to her. Well,
Judy, she was looking at It. holdiua

Another Glamour Gone

The last Mississippi river packet steamboat line mas
cone from Memphis, Tenn.-and II you have any feeling
at all for the color and romance Of a by-gone generation,
that announcement is guaranteed to make you a little
bit melancholy.
A few days ago the Valley Line Steamers, Inc, sole
survivor of the Memphis packet lines, put its three
steamers up for sale and discontinued operations.
Memphis, as a result, is without packet steamer service
for the first time in more than a century-for the first
time, as a matter of fact, since the Mississippi had any
steamers at all
OF course, there is still traffic on the river. The big
barge fleets are said to carry a greater volume of freight
annually than the old-time sidewheel packets did In
their heyday. Furthermore, this kind Of trade is increas-
ing. Enormous cargoes come down the river each month.
to spill into the funnel at New Orleans for shipment to
the East coast, to California and overseas.
But who can get excited over barges and ~tugboats?
Those old steamers represented q bit Of romance leftover
from a more leisurely and colorful era than our own.
They were survivals from a generation which, in retro
spect, sometimes looks more attractive than ours. And
Memphis was Tapped in the glamour that they gave.
Trying to imagine Memphis without packet steamers
is like trying to imagine Gloucester, Mass, without fish
ing schooners. It just isn't right. The picture looks
wrong. Memphis ought to do something about it.
Probably it's a mistake to get sentimental about it.
After all, the Mississippi valley is q greater artery of
commerce now than it was in Mark Twain's day. Its
cities are more prosperous. Life is easier for a bigger per-
centage of its people. The railroad and the automobile,
which slew the packets. have certainly been blessings to
the valley, as to the rest of the country.
But we have lost something, just the same. Our mod
ern age is efficient and progressive-but 1t gives us no
substitute for the cleaning, white OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
packets of the old days. It is, in fact, just a little bit dull.
The loss Of Memphis river steamers symbolizes the ten
dency of the age.
