Shower Gift

Dear Miss Grey; viii you please
suggest something different" to
give a friend az a shower gift?
We have had so many showers
on this girl there is almost MOTH
ing left to give her for her home,
but I wondered if a personal gift
would be in good taste. A. B.
Certainly. Why not give her
fine cosmetic of some kind?
All women appreciate good cos
metics. Also IL you want an
individual and attractive gift,
there is a little case known as
the mad money" case, that is
very useful as well as good look
ing. II contains manicure aids
and can be used as a purse when
the contents are removed.
I think it sensible to give an
engaged girl personal gifts now
and then for too often at showers
she gets more hope chest ma
terial than she really needs.

sNoLAssEs CATCHES
MORE FLIES
Any woman viii find that Il Is
easier to keep \ man. job. or
friends II she Is easy to &c. along
with than II she is difficult.
Fortunately. it isn't hard to
change from a sourpuss into a
rood.nstured person.
The first thing is to learn TO
be glad for the small successes
and good luck Of others. The per
son who hates to see another per-
son get ahead Is bound to feel
grouchy and resentful most Of his
life He should know other peo-
pie are going to get ahead. wheth-
er he likes 1t or not
Even q fundamentally selfish
person can break the habit of be-
ing miserable over snother,s sue
cess. II he viii just reason IL out
this way: James good luck
doesn't make my luck any worse
50 why resent it? Why not be
glad she got a break7''
The next thing the person who
Is working for . good disposition
must learn Is not to let little
things upset him. The person who
gets in a rage when he is given
the wrong telephone number or
has not been treated exactly as he
thinks he should be treated would
calm down Immediately il he
would remember the wise observa-
ton: "A man is as big as the
things that annoy him.

FRIENDLY ATTITUDE
CAN BE ACQUIRED

The third important thing to
learn is not to be upset when plans
are changed and things go wrong.
and someone else gets his way.
Anyone can manage this who has
brains enough not to expect life
to keep to a time table and run
exactly on schedule to suit him.
A good disposition may be
something a woman is born with.
but much more likely it is a quail
lily she has developed simply be-
cause she recognizes it as an asset.

AII-Indio Congress Unit
Rejects SeIf-RuIe Offer

Hy the Associated Press.
WARDHA, India, Aug. 22.-The
working committee of the All-1ndia
National Congress, ending five
day session, passed a resolution to-
day rejecting the latest British Of
fer of ultimate self-rule for India.
It urged Indians to condemn the
attitude of the British government
in public protest meetings.
The resolution said Britain's pro-
posal was opposed to the principle
of democracy set by Britain as one
of her war aims as well as TO the
best interests Of India.
Britain, in an offer August 8,
promised India "free and equal
partnership" in the British COM
monwealth after the war. 1t said
"a moment when the commonwealth
Is engaged in a struggle for ex-
istence" is not one for devising a
new constitution for India.

spiracy to protect the policy racket.
The attorney asserted Hines had
asked him to take an income tax
case for Arthur Dutch Schultz
Flegenheimer, slain policy racket
eer, but that he refused.
From a Lower East Side tailor
shop, where he worked as ''bast-
ing boy" the little immigrant boy
put himself through two years at the
City College of New York and in
1893 was graduated from Colum-
bia Law School with honors and
$50 prize money.
BY contrast, three decades later
his fees were staggering. One client
was said to have paid him $500
minute for the time he spent In
court arguing an appeal.
In Many Spectacular Cases.
Mr.. Steuer was attorney in many
spectacular cases, among them the
litigation that grew out of the Tri-
angle shirtwaist factory fire, which
took 145 lives in 1911. Among his
clients we're Max boo Hoo Hoff,
Philadelphia underworld king, and
Bridge Webber, one of the muir
derers of Herman Rosenthal.
He estimated he won 95 per cent of
his $500 cases from 1893 to 1908, but
said he was too busy to keep account
of his average after that.
Once Mr.. Steuer tangled with
Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Gov
ernor of New York, in Mr.. Steuer's
famous investigation into the Bank
of United States failure. Mr.. Roose-
velt took the stand in behalf Of his
superintendent of banks, Joseph A.
Broderick, accused of neglect OF
duty.
Angry because the Governor had
been brought into the case, Mr..
Steuer protested vigorously, accusing
Mr.. Roosevelt of making speeches"
instead of answering questions. Mr..
Broderick was acquitted.
