A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUNTMER.

Assiniboine tribe was up In the House,
Jack Garner, the Democratic leader,
was moved to make the facetious obser-
walton:
1T looks to me as If the Indian Com
mittee would really give the Capitol tn
the Indians If they wished 1t. hope
this bill does not involve title to this
building
Hastings was backing the measure
and is a Democrat.
The Oklahoma Representative Is an
authority on questions involving his
people. He received his education at
the Cherokee Male Seminary, GRADUATE
ing there in 1884. Later he was an
honor man in his law class at Wander
bilt University.
Almost from the start of his career
he has fought the cause of his people.
Two years after graduating from law
school he took up the duties Of attorney
general for the Cherokee Nation and
served for four years.
Since 1890-one year after completing
his law course at V..nderbtt-he has
represented the Cherokee Nation In
winding up its tribal affairs before the
Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes
and the departments in Washington.
From 1907 to 1914 he served as ma
tional attorney for the Cherokee tribe.
In the latter year he came to Congress
for the first time He has been re-
turned to every Congress since %hat
time except one-the sixty-seventh.
That he hasn't permitted his interest
in Indian affairs to slow up as the
years go on is evidenced by the activity
in this respect during the present Con-
gress. His Official record shows that
he has repeatedly introduced bills and
resolutions in behalf Of Indians and Is
invariably at hand to aid in their pas
sage.
Mrs. Hastings, too, is of Indian blood.
And there are three children, one OF
whom bears the good Cherokee name OF
"Ahnawake.'

In counting this hand, the Ace and

Diamonds 6; and for the Jack of Clubs
/, as well as one extra point for the 2
los in the hand making total of 20,
and with the Jack at the top of three

We have here three suits safely stop

times with regrets that the past year
has seen us accomplish so little of the
much we had hoped and planned to do;
sometimes with happiness that the year
has brought to us hoped-for fulfllments
and unexpected Joys. More often there
is a mixture of regret and contentment
since the pattern Of life usually has
been traced with both joy and sorrow.
The mind in its backward glance
dwells on first one and then another of
the events of the past IL months. Since
these are now but memories, the wise
person makes o selection from these,
choosing to dwell on those that bring
happiness rather than distress. The
power to 80 choose lies with each one
Of us. Happy thoughts, like magnet,
will draw others of a similar sort. II
this seems controversial, try it out and
see for yourself how it works. but do 1t
sincerely. Only thus will it bring the de-
sired results.

Home in Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND.

1t seems almost too good to be true
to have a plant stand that is adjustable
like that shown in the illustration.
When it comes time to bring the
plants into the house in the Fall, there
is always general rearranging of fur
nishings in order to accommodate them
without having them appear to crowd
the room-and this is a real accom-
plishment.
However, with a base such as this,

Date Cake.

Combine half cupful of butter with
one cupful of sugar, one cupful of milk,
four cupfuls of flour, half a teaSpoonful
of salt, three teaspoonfuls of baking
powder and one and one-half cupfuls of
dates stoned and chopped. Add the
dates last and bake in moderately hot
oven.

think how easy it would be to have
several plants without having to sacrt-
fee any more room to them than is
necessary for one plant on a stand.
The arms are adjustable and the fin
ish may be rust, black or antique green
the choice of this depending, OF
course, upon the color scheme of the
room in which the stand is to be used.
Here is an opportunity for pleasing
arrangement of pottery. Each got may
be of an individual color or design, or
they may all be alike, but in these days
of modern decoration several different
colors. or several shades of one color
would be effective.

;WOMEN'S INFLUENCE
| SEEN IN CAR BUYING
Nationwide Investigation Reveals
Part Taken by the
Fair Sex.

Conducting a Nationwide investiga-
ton during which time more than 5000
women were questioned, the Franklin
Automobile Co. of Syracuse, N. Y,
learned recently that women have the
deciding influence in 81 per cent of all
motor car sales and at least conribut-
ing influence in "a per cent. These
amazing figures, showing the prominent
part that women have in motor car
buying. came to light in this Franklin
research, which was held to determine
just what the buying public wanted and
to build to that end.
Not only did the survey disclose that
women take the leading part in the
selection of motor cars. but that they
have become more mechanically minded
and have a surprising knowledge of
motor fundamentals besides being COM
petent to judge on other important de-
tails, such as car beauty luxury and
quality. OF the total number of women
questioned, there was a considerable
percentage. however, who stated that

1881 CALLED YEAR
OF GREAT VALUES
Progressive Auto ManufaC-

crease in Quality.
BY ID. S. EDDINS,

Vice President and General Manager, Olds
Motor Works.
Automotively speaking 1891 may
aptly be termed the year of great
values" Progressive automobile manu-
facturers have stressed quality in their
products as never before. with the result
that the dollar will purchase more mo-
tor car value this year than at any
previous time in the history of the
industry
1t might be said that 1881 is the
elimination of a decade of constantly
increasing values offered By the auto
motive industry. This 10-yeaH period
has witnesse.. remarkable achievements
along two distinct lines. The first
achievement has been in engineering
improvements which have given us the
more beautiful and better performing

automobiles now being exhibited at the
Automobile Show. The second achieve
ment has been in the form of equally
momentous advancementS in manufac-
turing methods which have enabled the
motoring public to obtain far better
automobiles at the same or lower prices.
Price rarely is a good yardstick to
use in measuring quality. but in weigh
ing the astounding automobile values
of today bo,h must be considered.
Quality must be compared with price to
arrive at the correct value mark.
The advance in the quality of auto
mobiles since 1921 is generally acknowl-
edged by all. The occasional event of
a car of the early twenties appearing on
the streets quickly reminds us of the
marvellous improvements which have
been made in body, design and finish.
And it Is not difficult to recall the hard

gauge can be used as a substitute for
the motor heat indicator as a tempera-

to being when the temperature of the

until the gauge hand drops back to

F0SHAY JURY DISCHARGED;
 NO VERDICT
Unable to Reach Agree ment After Deliberat-
 ing Over Week

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 23.- After deliberating for over one week, the jury in the Foshay case was unable to agree and was dis charged this afternoon.
 w. B. Foshay and six associates were charged with using the mails to defraud and the case was the result of the crash two years ago of the Foshay enterprises.
 The defendants with Foshay, promoter of the Foshay Compan- ies, were H. H. Henley, R. J. An- drus, H. E. McGinty, P. V. Mabry, H. F. Welch and c. w. Salisbury.
 The trial lasted for many weeks, then the defense argued for sev- eral days for an instructed ver- dict. This was finally denied. The defense offered no evidence and arguments occupied several more days and the case was fin- ally given to the jury.
 Two days ago the jurors reported they were unable to agree.
 Judge J. w. Molyneaux said the case had cost the Government a large sum of money and asked the jurors to attempt to bring in verdict on IT counts for each defendant.
