 Faces Big Task Atty. TolleS is known to be a clear and shrewd thinker and one who translates thoughts into action. Many party members feel that he would certainly be the best choice for the person whose task would be to try to bring back the republican party in this town to its former heights. This task at present, with the recently heavy democratic ma porities piled up here, seems huge one and one which may not be &C., coinplished for several years.
 In the past year however, there has been increased interest among republicans in their own party and very active campaign was carried on here last November. Aside from the rapidly growing Young Republt- can club there is also the new wom- ems republican organization here and several ward organizations.
 Just when the committee will meet to make its final decision is not known but 1t is believed that 1t will be seen. Atty. Tolles is in Flor Ida at present. Mrs. Daniel Mead is acting chairman now.

Possibly the President had the relation
ship of Government employees with their en-
ployer in mind when he uttered the above
words.
Possibly the Congress had that relation
ship in mind when it cheered those words.
We know that some members of Congress
were thinking of that relationship at the
time and were renewing their determina-
tion that the Government must "clean it's
own house" before it could hope to
straighten out conditions over which it has
less immediate control.
There isn't any necessity for constitu-
tional amendment before the Government
decides to deal fairly with its own workers.
There isn't any question Of how the Su-
preme Court would interpret bill giving
decent salaries and decent working and liv-
ing conditions to Government employees.
Simple provisions in the various appro-
priation bills or the enactment of generally
applicable law will accomplish the purpose.
Those members of the Senate and the
House who have expressed themselves as
ready to sponsor bills for the improvement
of the condition of the Governments work
ers must be delighted to find that their posi-
tion is justified and praised by President
Roosevelt.
HIS DECLARATIONS WILL HAVE A
POWERFUL EFFECT IN WINNING

AND SHOULD INSURE THEIR

GRESS.

Marie Grosholtz, born in SwitZer-

and fled to England with her chill

London she set about to earn a
living by showing her models IN

It Is amazing to discover how
full the world is of trusting mas
culine hearts. Of men who never
wait to get untangled from one
woman before getting all wound
UP with another. Who innocently
believe everything a woman tells
them.
It is astonishing in these so
phisticated days what woman
can make a man believe-if he
happens to WANT to believe it.
No matter how many times he
has been fooled he is always ripe
for the next woman. In fact, the
worse he has been stung the softer
and more pliable he is in the hands
Of an other woman who will SYM
pathiZe with him and Soothe his
wounded vanity.
No matter what his mirror tells
him, any little, limped-eyed thing
with a lisp and a honeyed line
can convince him that his bald
spot is invisible, and that the
Prince Charming of her visions is
a portly gentleman with a triple
chin and touch of asthma.
Any fairly youngish woman who
can squeeze out a few tears and
gaze imploringly at a jury, can
convince IL good men and true
that she didn't shoot her husband
that "the gun just went off in
her hands," when the brute" re.
fused her a new ermine coat. And
that they are all Sir Galahads sent
to rescue injured innocence.
OF course, there is nothing easier
for the office vamp, than to per.
Suade a man that he is "unap-
preciated," and that SHE under
stands him far better than the
woman who has been curing his
headaches, listening to his troubles

upon the document Of the Kings
abdication.
I do not know the new Tussaud
Museum, although they tell me it
is pretty much the same as the
one which was destroyed by fire
on March 18, 1925. That was q
night similar to the one which
London experienced last month
when the famous Crystal Palace
burned to te ground.
Practically all the notableS
went the way of all wax when at
tackled by fire-Jack Dempsey,
Rudolph Valentino, Henry VIII,
Pershing, Hindenberg, George
Bernard Shaw, Mary Queen Of
SCOTS and two hundred others
reduced to a mass Of molten tai
low. Destroyed, too, were the
coach that carried Napoleon in
his retreat from Moscow, the
barouche he used on st. Helena
and the flag carried on the re-
turn from Elba.
Nine. TuSSaud had known Bona
parte and ever was on the alert
to buy replicas Of his regime.
The Duke of Wellington knew him
also and was regular visitor to
the museum. However, it is doubt
full that Sir Arthur was as inter
ested in the memorabilia Of his
opponent at Waterloo as he was
in the reproductions Of famous
criminals.
After all, it was not the great
men and the great women Of his
tory that made Nine. TuSsaud's.
It was the bad ones displayed in
the Chamber Of Horrors. Most Of
these survived the fire because
they were kept in an underground
basement. Fortunately, the molds
were kept there, too, which sim
plified the work of rebuilding the
population of the museum.
In that Chamber of Horrors. for
which there was once reward of
$4,000 for any one who would
spend a night there alone. I was
impressed most by the figure Of
DR.. Hawley Harvey Crippen. Here
was a murderer to give you the
creeps, even in wax. A mouSe-like
man with sparse hair, a bushy
mouStache and eyeglasses, he sat
there with clasped hands, the very
personification Of repugnance.
Bernard Tussaud, present di.
rector Of the museum, says that
he is going to concentrate only on
the very best murderers, historical
subjects (which while they should
still make the shivers run up ones
spine, will, at least, have some edu'
cational value"
1t is good to know that DR..
Crippen will not lose his place.

BACKGROUND

There is one new man in the
House who certainly knows about
the Navy problems first hand. He
is Representative Edouard Victor
Michel Izac, Democrat, of San
Diego, Calf.
He was graduated from the
Naval Academy with the class of
1915. Served as ensign, lieutenant
and senior lieutenant on various
men-of-War and was awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor and
several foreign decorations for SER
vice in the World War. He was
forced to retire from the Navy in
1921 because of wounds he re-
ceived as a prisoner of war in
Germany and has been doing
newspaper writing every since.
Per the custom of Annapolis
middies with a sweetheart he was
married in 1915, the same year
he got his ensign commission.

Of course, they just walk by and
put them in the hopper.
In the half-hour before the
joint session on Wednesday and
during the hour afterwards when
the neutrality law was debated,
Ala bills were introduced and 19
joint resolutions. In the mean
time SO communication were re-
ceived for the perusal of the mem
bers, including numerous volumi-
nous reports.
Without taking on one new
thing the upper House of Con-
gress could get right down to
business and they would have
enough to do to keep them here
for the rest Of the year.
But, you're not going to rush
the Senate this session. No sir.
They met January 5 and 6, re-
cessed the 7th. Met again on
the 9th and recessed until the
18th. In other words in the
