The ruddy-faced, fiery Texan is rec
ognized as one of the foremost "hell-
gebiters" in the House of Representa-
tives. In q rough and tumble debate
few on either side of the dividing politi-
cal aisle can equal him.
Garner in action is nothing short
Of whirlwind Arms fly and words
spout from him with machine-gun
rapidity. He has a nimble mind. 1t
is rare indeed that he is without a
retort that will bring discontinue to
a heckler or without a ready answer
to questions designed TO break up his
attack.
He battles every inch of the way
and for one purpose-to inject Dem
ocratic ideas and principles into legis-
lation. He Is q practical politician,
but nevertheless quick and consistent
in his condemnation Of false motives
Modest and frank, he wins friends
despite his fire and biting sarcasm in
exchanges with colleagues. He is
among the most popular men on the
hill, with Democrats and Republicans
alike. He and Speaker Longworth have
been cronies for years, though to hear
Garner on the floor one might not be-
neve so.
He is q lawyer, an extensive land
owner and banker. Before coming to
Congress he served in the Texas Legis-
lature and as a county judge.
At one time he is said to have owned
one Of the greatest Angora goat herds
In the world. He still owns many fine
herds. Lately he has been interested
in onion farming.
Reputedly wealthy, Garner is simple

Dry Shampoos.

The blonde girl is in luck, when it
comes to dry shampoos. For If her
hair grows greasy-and greasy blonde
hair is terrible-she can always give
herself a quick easy shampoo with
corn meal or almond meal. All she
has to do is to dust small amount
Of the powder over her hair, shake it
through, shake out as much with her
fingers as possible and brush out the
rest. It transforms fat, drab looking
hair into glossy, fluffy hair in less than
five minutes And it's a boon these
days of Autumn colds, when some of
us must go for weeks without daring
to have a wet head.
It's not so easy for the dark girl.
But for her, there are neat little con-
tanners of powdered orris root. made

Borrowing on Insurance.

Any one who has paid three annual
premiums on an insurance policy from
the company has paid on that policy q
sum equal to the cash surrender value"
Of the policy. For instance, If you are
IS years of age and have an ordinary
life policy for the amount Of $4,000,
on which you pay an annual premium
Of $270, your policy will have a cash
value Of nearly $500. You can borrow
that amount. At the end of 10 years
you can borrow nearly $500, at the
end of 20 years more than $4,000 This
you can repay, with interest, just as you
would any other kind of q loan.
Any one who has ever tried 1t knows
how easy it is to borrow money from
his insurance company. No embarrass-
ing questions are asked, the transaction
Is completed quickly and privately, and
no one knows about the financial slough

The tunic is dear to the heart Of
every one. Perhaps its complete new
ness, offering such a definite change
to the wardrobe, is the cause Of its
popularity.
Another thing in its favor is, it is a
simple wearable type that shows such
good taste for daytime wear.
The wrapped effect of the front, with
buttons from neckline and almost to
the hem Of the tunic. Is decidedly slim

The round neckline Is finished with

dentally, seems to be Jacks
favorite number. That was
the amount he received for
stopping Tommy Loughran so
cold in New York q year ago
this month. (My, time does
fly-it doesn't seem a year,
does itD
So, you see, when a man
hits IL right in the pugilistic
profession he doesn't have to
worry about money. Sharkey
only got $50 for his first fight,
his opponent being Billy Null
doom, named after the Grand
Old Man Of Fistiana, and from
that point he worked himself
up to that famous $2l1, 900
take from his meeting with
Jack Dempsey.
The Schmeling fight netted
Sharkey his second largest
purse, SLIT 900. So, in his IS
matches since 1924, he has re-
ceived something between those
two extremes, $50 and SILL
600, which probably explains
the question that enters into
so many of our minds when we
see the boys getting mauled
around the ring-to wit: What
makes a man go in for such a
