on obeying. The result was fight,
broken cameras and some nearly
broken heads -.
we don't blame people for not
wanting snapshots made OF them.
Snapshots of other people are
amusing. But not of oneself {.
Mrs, woodrow Wilson, as pretty as
she is, hates to be caught un-
awares by the camera. She has
a little trick of holding her hand
before her face and so defeats
any candid" Mrs. Homer
Cummings dislikes lmpromptu
pictures, washington photog-
raphers have agreed never TO
snap her unawares -.
It seems to us, while we've
been trying during the last few
days, to dodge fat raindrops, that
washington has had more than
its share of wet weather. But
when we stopped by the Depart
ment of Agriculture yesterday we
found Mr.. Alfred D. Stedman, the
very clever bureau of information
head, reading a U. S. weather
chart. The chart showed that
the District of Columbia has had
less rain in September than any
other part Of the United States
Ten per cent of its normal quota
for the month! . The drought
areas have been well dampend by
about twice as much rainfall as is
usual for them in September.
Politics sometimes develops
hero. A heroine would be
better word in that recent cam
paign crisis in New York State
A prim Spinster, political
matchmaking from a sound truck
was asked to take a guest speaker
for one days travelling. The guest
a gentleman, promptly accepted
heartily the hospitality OF the next
small town -.
AS the truck approached an i'm
portant and very dry rural com
munity, the spinster saw her ora
tor had fallen asleep in the cor
ner. He was, she discovered
quite drunk. So she covered hin
up with raincoats and canvas anc
made his speeches herself. -.
Yesterday afternoon in a house
furnishing department we rar
into Dorothy Lee, who is busy
much of the time with the restora

back from italy and Germany
While she was picking out double

a sad story about a blue eyre

Charm Problem
To Fore!
SNAPSHOTS
BY HELEN ESSARY
MeanderlnRS

One of our present worries is
that the international success OF
the Below-The-Mason- a n d-Dixon
Line enchantress Mrs. Ernest
Simpson, late of Baltimore-and
the absorbing affairs Of Scarlett
in Gone With The Wind"-we
like Southern Charm but not the
kind you can cut with a knife
will clog the feminine market
with Southern Charm. Maybe
we'll long presently for a rasping
Western personality. A cool, re-
strained Yankee. OR a rough
and ready siren to snatch the pub
lie imagination.
Meanwhile this engulfing South
ern Charm is probably a reaction
to the casual female. For say
what you shouldn't about South
ern woman, she does strive to
please, The casual female, she to
whom nothing is of any impor-
tance, has become bit OF a bore
Though Fanny Hurst does urge
us to forget we are women" and
be people," we're on the verge Of
turning back the clock. Soon we'll
nll be females of the species" and
snjoy life once more.

Since entering the United States
Senate nineteen years ago. sena-
tor Charles L. MeNary has become
a leader Of that body with prestige
and influence nationwide IN scope
His republican colleagues have
given him the highest post that
they could confer upon him-lead-
er Of his party in the Senate.
But Senator McNary's influence
is not confined to the political par
ty with which he Is affiliated.
t exceeds even to the present
national administration with the
result that he has been able to a.
chieve much in obtaining federal
aid for the state of Oregon and its
people.
Senator McNary's influence with
the present administration is due
entirely to the fact that during the
crisis through which we have been
passing in this depression he has
willingly laid aside partisan poll
tics and considered all Legislation
having for is objective the welfare
Of the country strictly on its merit.
A concrete illustration Of his fl
deity to duty, and his aggressive
ness for Oregon is to be found n
the Bonneville Dam power project.

According to reports, contact men for the operators are meeting with indifferent success in their attempts to revive the game on the same scale as obtained before the wholesale ar. rests of last April. Tavern .keepers and store owners who formerly acted as agents for the game are said to be fearful of once more accepting the agencies and police vigilance has rendered potential recruits to the business extremely wary.
 Arrests Threatened
 Asked today whether or not the resumption of the game had been brought to his attention, Superin" tendent William J. Roach declared 1t had not, but that the orders Issued last spring when an abortive at- tempt to revive the game was Tlipped by police were still in effect.
 The superintendent said that ar. rests would be made immediately # the proper evidence could be SC. cured and that police were con- stantly on the watch for such evidence. He said that while 1t was reported that policy operators from Naugatuck, New Haven, and Thom- aston were conducting the game in Waterbury, police to date had been unable to secure concrete proof which might lead to arrests.
 states Attorney Active
 A telling blow ct the policy racket was dealt by States Attorney Law renee l.. Lewis in April with the arraignment and subsequent fine of nine alleged operators in super. for court. Since the court trial Of the policy writers, only sporadic at- tempts have been made to revive the game. Several writers from out ot town outfits were arrested by police In c drive which began shortly after 1t was reported the game was once more being played here early In May,
