WOMEN ARE NOT
SO EASY" AS MEN
IN FLATTERY GAME

What do you think of the claim
that women like admiration and fiar-
tery as much as men and are no less
fools than men In the hands of one
OF the other sex who uses that meth
Cd OF getting into their good graces?
Don't you think that's ridiculous?
I've never YET met a man who
wouldn't believe anything charming
and delightful about himself that any
woman might tell him. But I've seen
many man try TO bamboOzle a wom-
an and fail because he laid it on too
thick" This was asked of a woman
writer Of note, who replied as fol-
lows:
I think our reader has hit upon an
important truth in the relationship OF
the sexes.
do not doubt for one moment that
women like admiration as much as
men-that is admiration from the
other sex. Indeed believe this is in
a way a more important factor with
women than with men. By that
mean that while men may "eat up
admiration from the other sex. that
is not the motivating factor of their
interest in them; while with some
women delight in masculine admira-
ton is largely the root of their enjoy
ment of the society of the other sex.
But-wOmen are not so easy" as
men. a hOmeIy woman does not
easily accept a mans insistenCe that
she is beautiful, but many a bald, fat
man has been convinced ne is an
Adonis. Women can be battered.
but il has to be done more subtly.
Therefore the man who is wise will
look for the good points" which in
some form or other are possessed by
every woman, and concentrate On
them, rather than attempt to endOw
her with charms which she realizes
are not hers.
II is not that women like fiattery
less. but they have more difficulty
than men in putting entirely to sleep

Insects Hoard Parasites

Insects are infested with parasites.
All the 1eas have smaller fieas on
their backs to bite 'em. In addition to
worms insects have all kinds of para
sites, some Of them being entirely
consumed by tiny maggots that hatch
from eggs laid in the victims by other
insects. Grasshoppers are frequently
loaded" with chiggers which ride
through the air with their hosts; not
only do the big ones eat up the little
ones in the insect world, but the little
ones eat up the big ones quite as
often.

ana Important moments IN the
- annals of the American people,
in which Abraham Lincoln and Gen
eraI Grant were the chief actors, there
is an appealing human story that to
this day remains virtually unknown. 1t
is revealed in obscure and priceless
original documents, says writer in
the Washington Post.
The event to which the following
manuscripts relate is the appointment
Of Grant as lieutenant general in COM
maRd of all the Union forces in the
Civil war, an epochal step taken by
President Lincoln more than 20 years
ago.
Lincoln had watched with increasing
satisfaction the military record of the
stOcky and taciturn Grant. With the
victories at Vicksburg and Chattanooga,
the President reached the decision to
place him in command of all the Union
armies. To this resolve Lincoln held
despite extreme pressure from numer-
Gus disaffected elements.
Grant was called to the White House
and told of the Presidents intention.
Lincoln called Grant aside and told him
he understood the generals dread Of
public speaking and in order TO make
things bit easier on that score, he,
the President, had written out 1.-The few
lines" he intended to say to Grant on
the occasion of the formal delivery of
the appointment.
With characteristic breadth Of vision,
Lincoln urged Grant to say something

black as though written yesterday /;
that of the Grant acceptance is quite
faded, barely legible.
This, incidentally, is among the rela-
lively few pieces of Grantiana and Lin
colniana still kept in the Grant family
here.
1t is not unlikely that eventually
these priceless relics Of great event
also will find their way into the ar
chives of the federal government which
was held intact by the craftsmanship
of Lincoln and the military genius of
Grant.
Lincoln had to bear the brunt of
heavy criticism in his appointment of

Threatened action by Gov. Harold G.
Hoffman to halt DR.. John F. Con-
don's South American cruise to sub
ject him to further questioning in the
Lindbergh kidnap case all but COL
lapsed tonight.
Attorney General David T. Wilentz,
whom the Governor said today he
would ask to have Condor detained,
said:
Il have been asked nothing about
DR.. Condor and nothing will be done
about DR.. Condor"
Shortly before this, the Governors
press aide, william Conklin, COM
menting further on his earlier an
nouncement that Wilentz would be
asked to take action, said the Gov
ernor could" wait for Condor to re-
turn voluntarily. He said also that
Hoffman had not investigated his
ability to act independently If the
Attorney General refused to comply
with the request.
Sailing Held Significant.
These developments occurred as the
New Jersey Court of Pardons met to
hear Bruno Richard Hauptmann'S
plea for clemency-a plea that was
denied tonight.
Condor, the famous "Jafsie" of the
Lindbergh ransom negotiations. who
identified Hauptmann as the man to
whom he paid Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh's $4,000 ransom in a Bronx
cemetery, sailed from New York
last night.
Gov. Hoffman termed his sailing
highly significant in view of his ac-
tions and statements since the Flem-
ington trial"
But Attorney General wilentz
promptly countered with the assertion
he had given permission to Condor to
make the trip.
He added, even after the Governors

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., January 1.-Two
important questions revolved tonight
about Gov. Harold G. Hoffman-how
he voted in the roll call Of the Court
of Pardons, which rejected Bruno
Richard Hauptmann's plea for elem
ency, and whether he would grant the
condemned man q reprieve.
He had mo comment" to make on
either, citing the secrecy rules Of the
court on the first question and max
ing no explanation regarding the
other.
The 3s-year- Governor, who pro-
jected himself into the forefront of
the Lndbergh case o few months
ago, still held the trump card in
Hauptmann's fight to escape the elec-
tric chair.
The action Of the court left Haupt-
mann only one reasonable hope Of an
extension OF life beyond next Friday
night-an executive reprieve not ex-
ceeding 90 days.
There were but three other avenues

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

A compromise soldiers bonus bill
which its sponsors hope will meet the
approval Of the veterans and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has been prepared by
Democratic leaders of the Senate
after conferences with all parties.
Details of the measure, which are
expected to be revealed tomorrow,
have been closely guarded. It is
understood, however, the bill will pro-
vide for issuance of interest-bearing
bonds to the veterans in place of their
adjusted service certificates.
These bonds will be in small de-
noninations-the minimum at s25 or
$50-and presumably will be redeem
able at any time after the system has
been inaugurated.
Loans May Be Deducted.
The bonds issued will be for the
full face value of the certificates, less
the amount Of loans which have been
obtained by the veterans under the
law which permits them to borrow up
to SO per cent Of the value Of the
certificates.
Remission of interest on these
loans, provided in the House bill
which passed Friday, will be insisted
on by the supporters of bonus legisla-
ton in the Senate.
1t Is believed the rate of interest
which the bonds will carry will be 3
per cent-the interest rate in the
House bill provided for those veterans
who do not under that measure cash
in their adjusted service certificates.
| In one quarter close to the new
plan being worked out by the Senate
leaders, it was suggested last night
that, owing to the work required to
put it in operation. it may be June or
July before the veterans can hope to
realize cash from their adjusted
service certificates.
May Be Non-Negotiable.
While the bonds which are under
consideration may be cashed, there is
strong sentiment against making them
negotiable, in order to protect the
veterans from any charges which might
be made for handling them.
Senator Clark, Democrat of Mo-,
himself a veteran who has taken
much interest in the bonus legislation,
insists that the veterans should be
permitted to cash these baby bonds
after the machinery has been set In
motion, at any time they desire, either
