BY BRUCE CATION

TN The Gap in the Curtain" John
l. Buchan considers the things that
men might do if they could get a
certain glimpse into the future.
BY one of those bits of hocuS-
pocus permitted to novelists, he has
five Englishmen shown copy of
newspaper dated exactly one year
ahead.
A financier learns that certain
great merger is to be announced on
that date. A politician discovers
that a supposedly unimportant
statesman is to become prime min
lister then.
A young aristocrat learns that he
is to sail on an archaeological expe-
dition to Yucatan on that day. And
two other young men read their
own death notices.
Mr.. Buchan then shows how these
five react to the news.
The flnancier does his best to
cash in on his knowledge-and sue
ceeds in losing 10000 pounds. The
politicians, striving to insure his
own fortunes, manages only to drive
himself out of politics.
The young aristocrat goes to Yu-
catan despite every effort to dodge
it. One of the two forewarned of
death gives way to panic-and dies
on schedule.
Only the fifth man is able to cir
cumvent his fate, and he does it
by accident rather than by design.
Mr.. Buchan's point is that it isn't
enough to know what is going to
happen, unless we also know how
it is going to happen.
A glimpse into the future, he con-
cludes, is worse than useless unless
it tells everything.
He makes of The Gap in the
Curtain a thoroughly interesting
book. Published by the Houghton-
Mifhin Company, it sells for $3.50.

nomination still arouses a smile.
When not predicting the re-
nomination of Charles curtis, she
is berating reporters for even sug-
costing another man may be
nominated; and when not doing
this, she is trying to maintain her
supremacy in the feminine social
contingent.
Mrs. Alice Nicholas Longworth,
also backing her brother, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, jr., for the vice
presidency, arrived on the same
train with Mrs. Gam, but the
arch enemies still cherish their
bitter feud which started long ago
in Washington over which ~had
social precedence.
Mrs. Gam also made things un-
comfortable for herself by refus-
ing to attend a dinner tonight
staged by the Woman's National
Republican Club, headed by Mrs.
Bertha Bauer.
Mrs. Gam sent her regrets, say

MISS LANE TIPS
I DELEGATES ON
Department
BY MARGARET LANE


CHICAGO, June IA U.N.S0. ..
There ought to be an official
handbook on how to behave at
the convention.
Two hundred thousand people
attend, and a lot of them have
never been before. 1t wastes a
lot Of their valuable time watch
ing each other to find out how
to act. Time being money, It
would pay both parties to issue
their own handbook, or, cheaper
still, have the city of Chicago
present free copies Of the same
guide to behavior to both Demo
Gratis and Republicans.
Lacking such a valuable hand
book, however, there are few
safe rules that can be observed
in attending conventions. Decide
ii you can-whether you are q
delegate, alternate, chairman OF
q committee, committeeWoman,
lobbyist, secretary, spectator or
nuisance, and follow the lnstruc-
tions for your individual class.
Here Are Essentials
Delegates: If you are one OF
these fortunate creatures, you
will increase your prestige by IN
habiting your hotel room for as
many hours each day as are con-
ducive with health. Keep the
door open, however, so that you
may always be seen. Wear a
straw hat indoors and do not
consider expense in the matter
of cigars. Entertain your friends
largely-but always in the hotel
room (this is a strict point), and
keep the radio going all night.
If, ever you have occasion to
walk abroad, always pin a flow
ing ribbon and as many badges
as you can afford on your bosom.
and take care to go no further
than the hotel lobby.
Alternates: Stand in the hotel
lobby.
Committeewomen: Your place
in the convention is an impor-
tant one. Commission suite
Of rooms in a central position in
the best hotel and hire a dozen
fast typists with loud machines.
Keep them at it, and the door
open. Invite all the women you
know and cram the room full Of
people with steady flow of talk.
Spray the corridor outside with a
mixture of conflicting perfumes.
Have the telephones ring con-
stantly, the typists hammer inces-
sanity, your women friends babble
pittilessly. and you will be voted
a success. Wear as many rib
bonS and badges as you can man.
age.
All, There, Chairmen
Chairman of committees: Your
Behavior must, in the main, be
the same as that Of the committee
women, except that a lower
standard Of babel is required, and
perfume Is undesirable.
Lobbyists: This is a delicate
profession requiring much tact.
Practice in the lobby of the hotel
before trying your hand in COM
mittee rooms. Try catching dele
gates by the button hole without
annoying them.
Secretaries: If men, carry brief
cases and block up the hotel ele-
vatorS. If women, look as pretty
and helpless as you can, and still
block up the elevators.
Spectators and nuiSanceS:
Stand in the street, wave flags,
push, stare and throw cigar butts

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 12.-Leading Re-
publicans expressed in statements re-
leased through national campaign head
quarters the view that CALVIN Cool
idge's speech last night was one OF the
most effective arguments voiced In the
Hoover-Curtis campaign. Some OF
their comments follow:
Senator James E. Watson of Indiana,
Republican majority leader in the
Senate-Mr. Coolidge has contributed
a bit of sound New England common
sense to the campaign. He shows Mr..
Hoover as the only possible choice OF
the people in this delicate hour OF re-
covery.
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
His summary of Herbert Hoover's work
in saving the economic structure is an
Endorsement that should carry weight
with every thinking and patriotic citi-
zen.
Si!as Strawn of Chicago, former
president of the United States Chamber
OF Commerce-It was a concise state
ment of facts that should be persuasive
to every thoughtful voter.
Henry Field. Republican senatorial
nominee from 1owa-Calvin Coolidge,
private citizen, casts one vote for
Hoover and as goes Coolidge SO goes
every sound thinking. patriotic Ameri-
can without regard to political party.
Representative Will R. Wood Of In
diana-His speech will be most effective
because he again has spoken to the
American people on topic Of vital
Importance with practical common
sense and the sound realism Of irrefu-
table logic.
DR.. E B. Clements of ST. Louis, Mis-
souri, national committeeman-It was
a masterpiece Of rugged simplicity and
searching Coolidge philosophy. 1t was
