 Annual enrollment week is a great social event at the YMCA. Not the least noticeable has been the verbal battle between Generals Templeton and Carmody. These two staunch friends have put all the fight of two warning generals into membership week.

 Washington, Oct 15.-(UP)- | Night strollers along the Mall have been appalled, recently by the sim ister aspect of the Washington | Monument.
 This imposing memorial to George the veracious has been equipped with two baleful red eyes as a warning to aviators, but sim full souls who go to the speedway to neck invariably glance around hurriedly for a fiery cross.
 The shaft by night resembles nothing quite so much as very tall member of that order which did business after dark and pur- veyed bedsheets and pillowslips to its members at $10 g. costume.
 To the politician on the make. nothing seems so important as to appear to know everybody. A hearty handshake and a "Well, how are your" gets votes, these fellows have learned by painful ex- perience. The results often are amusing, in that the politician fre- quently recognizes" someone he has never met before. The rule doesn't apply exclusive ly to politicians, either. General Pershing was about to be inter- viewed. The correspondent was seeking the general for the first time, but that didn't prevent the distinguished interviewer from ris- | ing from his chair. enthusiastical- ly grasping the reporters hand, and beaming:
 "Well, MT -, I'm very glad to see you again!"
 Another time the same reporter ran across Senator Willard Tydings of Maryland. He knew the senator only by sight, but this did not pre- vent the red-headed Marylander from pumping his arm and express ing joy at their meeting.
 It is said of bluff midwestern senator, high in the councils of his party, that he always has "mem- ory tickler" at his elbow when mingling with his constituents. This "tickler" may be the mayor of the town or some other person familiar with the citizenry.
 When a hand is stretched out for the senator to shake, the "tickler" whispers:
 "Jim Jasper" whereupon the senator beams all over and says. ''Well. we'll, well, old Jim! You're a sight for sore eyes!" | Again the "tickler" whispers. | Five children, one sick" and the smart solon, taking the cue. says, "I hear your child is ill--too bad, two bad!'
 Bluff? Certainly, but it gets votes, and votes keep the senator's | political bread buttered.

CHICAGO, April 25.-The Chicago
Herald and Examiner said today that
Chicago detectives were working on a
theory that George L. Perry. alias
George Parker, slain last night in South
Bend, Ind, was put to death by two
associates in the Edward Litsinger-M yr-
tie Tanner Blacklidge $4,000 faro
swindle" at Springfield, ILL.,
Perry, or Parker, the Herald Exam
liner said, was accused by his wife of
having been involved in the Litsinger-
Blacklidge affair, which occurred sew
eral months ago. Mrs. Blacklidge said
she was swindled out of the money in a
card game. Litsinger, we'll known
Chicago politician, said he had lent her
the money but not for the faro game.
Mrs. Blacklidge, who was collector of
internal revenue for Northern Illinois,
subsequently resigned.
Shot Leaving Garage.
Perry was shot as he stepped out Of
his father-in-law's garage where he had
just parked his car.
Chicago police were hurrying to South
Bend with descriptions of Roy Burgess
and Roscoe Reynolds. From the de-
scr:ptions of the Layers given by the
widow, police were convinced that they
are involved IL tho Staying. They ad-
vanced the theory that. Perry failed to
divide the cash with Reynolds and Bur-
CESS.
Although Perry lived and was con-
scious half hour after he was shot, he
refused to divulge the name of his
slayer.
He was friend Of mine" was all he
would say.
The widow said thai she and Perry
had flea to France February 10, shortly
after the swindla. Their flight, she said,
was because OF her husbands partici-
patton in what she termed the Black
lidge case"
Called Home by Wire.
They remained safely hidden in Nice
until she received a wire from her
father, John Canniff, salesman, say
ing that her mother had died and that
the funeral would be postponed until
she returned. They took a plane at
once to Marseille and then sailed to
New York Thence they few in a
chartered plane, she said to South Bend.
Since the funeral Perry remained in the
seclusion of the home of his father-in-
law until two days ago, when they
went to Detroit, where Mrs. Perry visit
ed her 1o-year-old son by a former
marriage. They purchased a car there
at the factory and drove back to South
Bend, where they expected to remain
until the weather became warmer. Then
she said, they expected to take an ex-
tended tour.
Last night Perry and his wife had
been motoring. They returned to the
Canniff home about 10 o'clock. Mrs.
Perry left the building from the side
door.
AS Mrs. Perry stepped around to join
him, she saw flash OF fire. but in the
darkness was unable to see the figure
from which it came. The bullet was
fired at close range, evidently by a
man who had been standing at the
side of the door through which Perry
left the garage.
