w 7HEN Alice Kent married
\A/ she had a secret. She wed
w at 81, married a distin-
guished professional man some
years her senior. The secret had
to do with something Alice had
done at 20. At that age she was
deeply in love and willing to sac
rifice everything for it. The
young man who was her lover
had no money, no job, no pros
poets. He was-like herself-be-
ing supported by his parents,
who lived a thousand miles
away from the college both
Alice and Dean attended.
Alice and Dean carried on their
unhappy secret affair for some
months. Then the death of Deans
father called him suddenly home,
to support an invalid mother and
two younger brothers. Alice
grieved and waited, waited a year
another year, and then received
the announcement of Deans mar
riage.
Shame and grief shut her some
what into herself after that, and
she devoted herself to her violin
practice. John Kent is an amateur
musician, too. Their piano and
violin work first drew them together,
drew them to an ideally happy mar
rlage. They have one daughter,
Verify, who shows musical talent
even now, at 6.
Shadow Impends.

that is. Just kid affairs, Ell, Al
lie? You never really loved any
man but me, eh?'
II feel as if he would drive me
crazy with his hints and his curios-
ity," writes Alice. "I-a1ready have
put him off more than once with
half-amused reference to the fact
that I was three years old when
we met, he then in high school,

never has returned to our town;
whether he is living or dead I don't
know and am not apt to find out.
The past seems dead, but to John
it may seem very much alive. What
would you do?"
Absurd Concern.
The absurdity of Johns sudden
concern, Alice, evidently doesn't i'm
press him, and therefore has to be
taken seriously. To be fortunate
enough to have a devoted wife and
lovely child, his home filled with
music and his financial affairs un-
usually satisfactory, isn't enough for
John. He must dig into the past,
excavate something that will make
him and Alice miserable and then,
probably, 60 to extreme pains to
wipe it all out again, understand,
be generous, forgive and forget.
Certain types of men and
women really seem to enjoy
t0rturing themselves this way.

with the payment of government

by professors and wholesalers; in
creased local, state and federal

There is a valley in California

this congress the appropriation for
that purely local project was cut.
Then the votes Of the valley were
counted, and the special session re-
newed and increased that appropri-

more wheat. More wheat means
lower prices. Farmers Of Colorado,
Kansas and every other state are
paying for that California irrigation,

along in September, when a Hoover
admirer visited Washington and
saw the President on a Sunday
night. The visitor told Mr.. Hoover
that he would be beaten in Novem-
Der; that it was then too late to
change the final result, but that the
total of the Roosevelt vote could be
reduced by a change in the speaking
program.
THE PRESIDENT REBELS.
The visitor insisted that to make
such a change, to shift from the de-
fensive to the offensive, called for
Mr.. Hoover to make the speeches,
that he would haze to tell the Amer
lean people what his administration
had accomplished, and the history
of Mr.. Roosevelt's administration
as governor of New York. Mr.. Hoo
yer was Mortified.
81 am a candidate for election
to the Presidency of the United
States, but also am the Presi-
dent of the United States, As
President 1 cannot degrade the
dignity Of that Office by making
political stump speeches on be-
half Of my candidacy" he said.
The visitor urged the proposal un-
til the small hours of Monday morn
ing. He insisted the American peo-
pie were entitled to a factual re-
counting of the accomplishments of
the administration under Mr.. Hoo
ver's direction, and what had oc-
CURED in New York under direction
of Governor Roosevelt. The answer,
that night, was always the same,
an insistent no."
AS the visitor left he asked Ted
Joslyn, the Presidents press secre-
tary, to reserve a few minutes of
Mr.. Hoover's time for Monday
morning.
STRESS AID TO FARMERS.
At that short session Mr.. Hoover
said he would not make innumer-
able impromptu speeches, but
would make three or four set
speeches, and in those would con-
fine his remarks to factual state
ments of the operation of govern
ment under his administration,
especially what the agricultural act,
as enacted by congress, had done
for the American farmer. He di-
rected that arrangements be made
for the delivery of the first of those
speeches at Des Moines, Iowa.
That agricultural act had bene-
flied the American farmer to the
extent of 10 cents a bushel better
price for wheat, of the same grade,
and with equal transportation costs
to eastern tidewater ports, than was
received by Canadian farmers.
Times, men and conditions
change. Mr.. Truman may, or
may not, have the reverence for
the dignity of the presidential
job as that held in 1882 by MIR.
Hoover. He may not consider
the making of impromptu
speeches from the back plat.
form of a railroad train as sac
rificing the dignity of the presi-
dental Office. 1t is his privilege
to do as he wishes.
