paper account of a holdup in a
night club. Dora was glad that
her taste did not run to night
clubs. She preferred the thea
ter, nice little home dinners.
This reflection brought smile
to her lips as she realized that
on this very night she was to
have one of those dinners, for it
was her 25th birthday.
AS she fell into a reverie over
her five-years' happiness with
Jack, Jane, the cook, entered
apologetically.
You'll excuse me, ma'am, but
I'm all out Of olive oil and red
pepper. I'll need them for the
dinner"
"All right, Jane. Phone for
them"
It'll only take five minutes
to run and get them myself.
Then I'll be sure I have them,'
replied Jane.
Just Day Dreams
Mrs. Jordan smiled her con-
sent and relaxed into another
day dream as Jane left.
She was aroused by the rattle
of key in the hall door. Pat
ting her pretty brown hair, she
swept into the living room as
Jack entered. The next instant
she was in his arms. Then her
young husband held her off at
arms length.
"Congratulationsw he ex-
claimed. Dora, you're a knock
out; why, you're fairy prin.
cess in that ivory and gold
frock."
Jack tossed his coat and hat
on a divan, still deVouring her
with admiring eyes.
Dora curtsied, playfully flash
ing a smile at him that showed
both of her dimples and little
resplendent teeth. I'm glad
you like it, dear" said she
proudly. Il do want to look
nice tonight"
I'D like to kiss you twenty
five times, but I must consider
your makeup" laughed Dick.
And now, in honor Of the spe-
cial occasion. I've something for
you. GueSs?"
The Long Package
Dora's eyes grew big and
round. "Oh! I never could" she
pouted. please don't tease me.
What is it, Jack?"
He went to his coat and
withdrew a long, thin package.
"Guess?" he said again, hap
PLY. Dora shook her head
hopelessly.
1T will look splendid with
that dress" he said as he
handed the package to her.
I'll let you open it, dear"
With all the enthusiasm OF
youngster at the foot OF
Christmas tree, Dora took 1t
and tore off the wrapping. She
pushed up the lid of a rich,
snow-white box. Then she
gasped:
:'Diamonds! A diamond neck
lace. Oh! Jack, it's precious
wonderful"
"You bet it's precious. Eight
thousand dollars-told me 1t

said.
"But-that's a lot Of money"

mirror to feast her eyes upon

Honor of Being President of France
Leaves Occupants of Chair Much Poorer

PARIS-Gaston Doumergue is no ex-
ception to the rule that presidents of
the French republic leave Office poorer
men than when they are elected. Be-
fore he became president M. Doumergue
had an apartment in Paris, as we'll as
house in the country. He retained them
during his term of seven years. But
now he has abandoned the apartment
because he finds it necessary to retrench
in every direction.
Since the war the annual salary of
the president has been brought from
100000 francs to 100000 francs, but
100000 pre-war francs represented
$40 900, while 5000 900 postwar francs
are only $144.000. In addition the chief

Vandenberg Calls on Davis.

True, there had been an epidemic Of
looking facts in the face" confined
chiefly to editorials in the Tribune.
an independent Filipino newspaper in
English. This was the first sign Of an
outspoken sentiment favoring with
drawal of the immediate independence
cry. This attitude was considerably
strengthened by the arrival of Senator
Juan Sumulong, leader of the minority
party, who has since left the field CT
active politics.
Coming direct from Washington. he
stated frankly that agitation OF agricul-
tural and labor interests in the United
States had created a situation likely to
precipitate form Of independence I'M
favorable to Philippine welfare. He in
clined heavily toward the necessity of
placing independence demands on An
economic basis.
Without comforting at length with
any Filipino leaders and by the expedi-
ent policy of turning down all invita-
tions to dine, Senator Vandenberg on
his arrival went directly to Baguio to
confer with Gov Gen. Davis. escaping
entirely the hospitable miniStrationS OF
eager independence advocates. He did
confer with Speaker Manuel RoXas and
few others, and expressed a desire to
see Gen. Aguinaldo before leaving the
islands, but his attitude was formal
enough to discourage any hint that he
favored immediate independence. Sem
ator Vandenberg's bill, introduced be-
| fore the last Congress, called for To-
year period of adjustment.
Asks Caution of Leaders.
Returning from Baguio. he placed
emphasis squarely on the economic
aspect of the independence question,
openly advising Filipino leaders to
think carefully before committing
pendence. He cited the prevailing
| economic depression as factor in the
United States leading to agitation
against Philippine free trade.
His statements crystallized the fright
that prevailed in Filipino camps over
precipitate independence which pat
emily would plunge the country into
chaos. Soon after Mr.. Vandenberg's
departure, the Philippines Herald,
die-hard independence and pro-Filipino
advocate, came out with a series of
editorials attempting to justify stand
on compromise and deferred independ-
ence.
If there was any prevailing Filipino
opinion 1t was subject to the instability
of reasoning that characterizeS all
thinking on the independence question.
Mostly, 1t was dormant. Senator OS-
mena, wisely cautious, has maintained
throughout stand sufficiently flexible
to maintain him in a position of Sc
curity in spite of variable winds. He
maintained at this time that there had
been no change in stand on the part Of
Filipinos. They still desired their in
dependence and would put their trust
in washington to devise the fairest So
luton of the Philippine problem.
Gov. Davis position is still more Sc
cure. He has never committed himself
publicly on the question of independence
and has stuck consistently to his an
nounced policy, dating from the day of
his arrival in the archipelago, to keep
out of politics and stick to governing.
