Present Unnecessary

Present Unnecessary
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been invited to a
church wedding, but not to the
wedding reception, and am in
doubt whether there will be a
reception or not. The prospec-
tive bride is friend, but not an
intimate one. I wish to do the
correct thing. Must I send a
present, or not? NORMA.
When the invitation is to the
church only and not to the we'd
ding reception, a present is un-
necessary. l wish you had en-
closed a stamped, self-addreSSed
envelope, my dear Norma, for
an immediate reply. Core
spondents who would like to
have prompt answers to their
questions are urged to enclose
stamped, Self-addreSsed en-
VelopeS.

So women are studying. There
are many opportunities open,
lectures on decoration, maya
zines and newspapers doing their
best to spread the gospel, dis
plays in stores, and fashion
shows and lectures to disSem-
mate information about clothes.
One of the things that is
evolving out of all of this is
an interest in period furniture.
Whereas we simply mixed our
furniture in the past. bought a
three-piece overstuffed suite for
the living room. and put it right
in with our few fine pieces,
which were themselves pretty
well diversif lie d. E. We now
realize that such a procedure
isn't very smart.
You'll find women really
studying furniture charts. They
are shopping for just the right
pieces Of furniture, so that their
effect won't be spoiled. They are
insisting on holding to the En-
pire or Regency, if they're 60
ing in for it, or for pure
Eighteenth Century, if they've
decided to stick to that.
Even in dining rooms is this
true. Period" china, silver and
glassware is not only shown but
is in demand. Not only a few
connoisseurs, but women in gen.
eral want early American de-
signs for their early American

At times like these, and many
more that you can think of,
it's pretty comforting to have
one of those new heating pads
at hand-those pads that give
off heat after the application
Of just two tablespoonfuls of
water. It's an almost miracul-
Gus continuance that costs
hardly anything, and gives heat

one or two breeds. In prac-
tically all cases these men and
women are recruited from the
ranks of breeders and eXhib-
iUors of the breeds they judge.
Broad Experience
Their practical experience IN
these breeds is consequently
quite broad, and it gives them
much more than just a studied
knowledge of the points of
the dogs. Thus in judging
they are able to sort out the
good and the bad specimens,
and to make close decisions
between nearly equal dogs just
as capably as the professional
all-arounders. Proof of the
specialists ability lies in the
fact they are sought more and
more today by shows.
Another reason for the in
creased satisfaction with juig-
ing is the greater knowledge of
the present-day fancier in re-
gard to pure-bred dogs. This
enables him to follow the
judges decisions more closely
and to understand why certain
dogs are placed over others.
Patience Needed
The show ring schooling of
a dog should begin by accus-
toming him while a puppy to
wear a light collar about the
kennel. After this a light lead
can be introduced.
Some puppies are not abashed
and will play with the lead.
Others will sulk or fight and
hang back. With a puppy of
this kind do not fight back or
allow the puppy to exhaust
himself. but drop your end of
the lead and offer the puppy
a piece of raw meat or boiled
liver.

Dear Miss E. W.:

followed by a drawn feeling. A

cause this, or a dry skin condi-

CHOOSING AN ARMY CHIEF

1t may come as something of shock
to the average citizen to learn that the
actual head of the United States army
holds his post under conditions similar to
those which prevail in the case of small
town councilman or constable.
General Douglas Macarthur is the
chief of staff of the army, its nominal
head under the secretary of war, and of
course subordinate to the President. who,
by the constitution, is commander-in-
chief.
General Macarthur has held his post
four years, during which time he is cred
tied with having worked out reorgani-
zation plan for the army, designed to
maintain it in highly efficient state
with a small personnel, and developing
the modermzation of the various units
The post of chief of staff is filled by
Presidential appointment, on the advice
of the secretary of war and is subject to
confirmation by the senate For the same
reason that tradition causes so many odd
things in the army, man holds it only
for four year term. He may be a mill
tary genius ranking with Napoleon or
Hannibal, but he is supposed to be kept
on the Job only for four years and then
can be supplanted by some hammerhead
as ignorant of military affairs as a pig
IS about flying. This method of course
may be popular with officers seeking ad-
vancement, but it is hard to accept it as
making for a more efficient army
General MacArthur's term is about to
expire and there are hints that he is to be
kept on in his post, temporarily at least
and probably permanently.
But politics enters into the matter
Postmaster General Farley, patronage
dispenser for the administration, will
have hand in the affair There may
be some deserving Democrat who should
get the post Also, General Mac Arthur
has many opponents on Capitol Hill,
because he was in command when the
bonus army was dispersed. Of course
he was given orders in that instance by
his superiors and had no choice but to
obey them. To have disobeyed would
have been treason.
1t is glaring reflection on the common
sense of the nation when the choice of its
military leader has to depend upon poll
ticians who know nothing whatsoever of
military affairs and probably care less
except as they may concern a political
job
Looking back at it, one wonders how
Pershing ever remained head of the A
E. F. throughout the war. He is about
the only general in our history who was
not harrassed and bedeviled by pinhead
congressman, senators and just plain
politicians

One Democratic senator who cam
paigned against Cutting IN New
Mexico gave the impression here
that his party resented Cuttings ac.
tiyities on behalf of the Republican
organization and felt that if he were
to be a genuine new dealer" he
should hold aloof from Republican
activities of this sort.
Another explanation heard in the
capital is that some in the admin
istration desired Cuttings defeat
because of the expectation that he
would rally support to his bank re-
form bill, with which the admins
! tration is not friendly.
President Roosevelt had nc direct
interest in removing Cutting from
the senate, but undoubtedly there
was no great disappointment in the

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. = The
capital is speculating upon the po.
litical future Of Sen. Bronson Cut
ting, tRep) New Mexico, who now
seems assured Of safe lead in his
closely fought battle for reelection.
The energy and spirit with which
the regular Democratic organization
battled against Cutting after he had
supported the Roosevelt candidacy in
1882 furnished one OF the surprising
features of the summers campaigns.
1t now appears, from informed
conversations in Washington, that
the Democratic leadership believed
Cutting was trying to play double
role by throwing his strength into
the regular Republican organiza
ton in New Mexico while at the
same time doing lip service to some
of the Roosevelt policies.

CUT THIS OUT
EXCELLENT RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAF
NESS AND HEAD NOISES

If YOU know someone who Is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand it to
them and you may have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. Scien-
fists for a long time past have rec
ognized that catarrh is a constitu-
tional disease and necessarily re-
ullires constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate
air passages and force the disease
into the middle ear which frequent
" means total deafness, or else the
disease may be driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which
is equally as dangerous. The fol-
lowing formula which is used eX-
tensiyely is a constitutional treat
ment and should prove especially
efficacious to sufferers.
Secure from Clements Drug Store
or your druggist ounce of Par
mint double strength. Take this
home and add to it Ia pint of hot
water and little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times a day. This
will often bring quick relief from
distressing head noises. Clogged
nostrils should open. breathing be-
come easy and hearing improve as
the inflammation in the euStachian
tubes is reduced. Parmint used in
this way acts directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system and has tonic action that
helps to obtain the desired results.
The preparation is easy to make,
cost little and is pleasant to take.
Every person who has catarrh or
head noises or is hard of hearing
should give this treatment trial.
