Chiropractor and Masseijiiiit Sunday by Appointment X-Ray Service Located over Bwbian Bros. Grocery & Market RIVERSIDE DRIVE Washington, June 22--Mixed emotions are everywhere apparent as Congress prepares to fold tents, and the Democratic National Convention opens its doors. The rebellious mood of the Republican delegates last week brings grave concern to the Democratic leaders. It is generally admitted in both camps that incalculable political capital is available as an aftermath of the Republican factional storms. It depends wholly ort a harn^ onioiis adjustment iof intra-party differences on Democratic candidates and policies. The spectre of a thirdparty still hovers around provoking uneasiness as to which major group will sustain the heaviest losses in membership. Finances for campaign purposes are another source of trouble for money is scarce and the ex-, chequers are empty. Prohibition has risen to places all candidates for high office. The hope was expressed th&t this issue could be subordinated to economic problems. The outbreak at the Republican convention showe<f\ clearly that the political fashions of the world pass away for the "wet" and "dry" contro versy can no longer be pbscured. The G. O. P. discontents mustered unexpected strength even with the Administration "steani-roller" functioning. The Democrats, lacking the all-powerful weapon of patronage, cannot bring so many hand-picked delegates to Chicago next week. Therefore, the problem of delegate control is greater, especially with their two-thirds rule in effect. It is troublesome to muster a majority in Republican meetings. However, the Democratic requirement of lining up an additional 15 per cenl\ to comply with the two-thirds system is a real handicap for the leaders. As an illustration, Curtis could not have won second-place on the ticket so early in the balloting had the G. O. P. operated under the Democratic twothirds rule. This numerical factor may seriously interfere with welllaid plans for a short and snappy convention. The selection of Everett Sanders tf Indiana as chairman of the Republican National Committee is freely interpreted as an open bid for the active support of Coolidge admirers and followers. The partisan who were active during the Coolidge days have never taken kindly to Mr. Hoover for a variety of reasons. The thinly veneered animosity is known in ^arty councils. Hence, the bid to Santf&s, who served as secretary to the former President. It was in the cards to offer the berth to William Butler, who heki the post while Mr. Coolidge was in the saddle. Butler offered a problem as the G. O. P. in his state were not friendly and he was never popular party wheei-horses on the Number Tens i* with national committee. Advocates of Butler argued that he could drum up money from the East, but even this claim could not win him a place in the high councils. It is predicted that Sanders may induce his former chief to take the stump during the crucial days of October and early November. The refusal of the Bonus Expeditionary Force to evacuate their camps here is provocative of concern in political circles. The two political parties want to avoid the subject as a campaign issue. Yet, the presence of the former soldiers in Washington during the electioneering season will ever be an unpleasant reminder to their kia and friends back *• ^ opinion is gaining that the concentration of unemployed veterans will prove harmful to Mr. Hoover as candidate more than his Democratic opponent The shabby appearance of the men m make-shift camps and oh the streets of the National Capital accentuates our economic depression more than all claims of campaigners. Ihere is a tragic side to this mobilization scene, something that arouses a nation s sympathy and more votes are swayed from the heart than by political conviction. The Wickersham committee Teport on law enforcement which required so much time and money may be rescued from dusty shelves. These findings are expected to figure prominently in the elections whenever the prohibition issue is discussed. The public was disappointed in the commission's conclusion because there was a lack of unanimity on important matters. Valuable data which is available at no other source make the official *tudy particularly helpful at this time. The controversy over the Wickersham outfit was largely responsible for the sudden halt in creation 6f Hoover com. missions for economic «nj' «*«•! studies.

By XUCE C. MEYKR-WlWl <e by MrClur* Newspaper Syndicate.) (WNU Service) Vf ATTIR REYNOLDS took stock of her wardrobe: a half worn-out coat, a three-year-old flimsy blue silk and two print dresses, a wool sweater and one pair of shoes without holes in the soles. Nothing to wear anywhere. Certainly nothing to wefir tv a W6udlng, And Joe had Just sold the calves for a hundred dollars. What a lot of things a hundred dollars would buy. . . . Ob, well, she knew when she married Joe Reynolds that his farm-- "But there's just one more payment after this, honey," he'd said when she mentioned a rug for the bedroom--and clothes. "Clothes? Why, girl, yon always look dressed-ap to me, and as for a rug--well, you Just wait tlH the last payment is made. It'll hurt your eyes the way we'll doll up. Just one hundred more and my girlll have a home** And now had come that invitation to Ernest's wedding. "And I haven't a thtag'to wear," she told Joe, "except that flimsy old silk--an<3 I hate It, Joe" But Joe was immovable. The payment mutt be made promptly. "And as for that wedding invitation--M He didn't finish the sentence bint Mattie knew the invitation hadn't interested her husband. Well, it interested her--and they'd go. It would be the last affair of any kind they would attend together. She'd endured this old, unpald-for farm as long as she could. One suitcase would hold every garment she possessed. Joe could have the dishes; their few pieces of furniture. She was sick of the whole mess. But she would like to look nice at Ernest's wedding. Ernest had been fond of her in the old days. Well, there were those two five-dollar bills hidden away in the toolhouse. Joe was saving them for seeding the small meadow. And there were four dollars and seventy cents--she'd kept careful of tbe count--In her dime bank, almost another five. Joe had been dear about dimes for her little bank-- but too determined about business. Always business first, with Joe. "Fifteen dollars would buy that flowered satin dress ishe'd seen in the window of the village store, marked down from twelve-seventy-five, and shoes. The very best shoes in the store would cost less than five dollars. Here her glance rested upon Joe's best on the closet floor beside her own. Their bulk reminded her of something Ernest had said once, about Joe's "number tens" being in the way when her future husband had been slow to catch a figure In the square dance. She had resented the inferred comparison at the time. Ernest wore sevens. Thoughtlessly, she picked up the big shoes beside her own small ones, Idly turned them over. Why! there were holes In the soles. Joe's best. Joe would go stark naked to make those detestable payments. Well, let him. Let's see. Where was she? Yea,' her dime-bank money for shoes; the ten dollars for the satin dress. She would walk to the village. She paused before the mirror in the store window. The fresh air had lent additional color to her cheeks, a bluer blue to her eyes--why, three years couldn't be an eternity. She was still young, and lovely--and there was the flower-budded dress. She felt a bit of civic pride as she looked at the store things in the windows. Like a shop In the city. Men's articles on one side. Women's on the other. With her hand on the doorlatch, she faced the men's window: Shoes. Well, what of It? Of course there would be "men's shoes in the men's window. Except for one pair, all her own had holes in the soles. This stony country left its mark, and she and Joe-- But Joe hadn't even one pair without holes in the soles. These men's shoes in the window--the price screamed at her--were exactly fourseventy. Warm, thick-soled, dressy looking. She was suffocating . , , . too warm In the store. She would walk to the post office. Those shoes--she would look at the other window as she passed through the door. She walked past the post office, turned and passed it again. On down to the the blacksmith shop. Back again: Rosebuds. Men's shoes. Rosebuds. But she must hurry. She'd planned hot biscuits for Joe's supper. She smiled, thinking of her husband's boyish liking for hot biscuits and his pride of her skill in making them. And how proud he was of--Heavens! Why need she, at this moment, remember his pride In her economies! He must never know how she'd felt about these farm payments. It was for her he'd been so determined. . . ^4 home for hiB girl . . . . comforting . . . . protecting. . . <. She put her hand to her face, wet with tears. A thousands loving little characteristics that were Joe came rushing through her mind. ' Oood, genuine, bigfooted Joe. Tears were streaming now. Thinking of Joe--and weeping. She liked men with big feet. It took a good foundation to build one. Joe was a builder. Her husband. She loved him. She would press the old blue silk, put fresh lace in the neck. Joe had always told her how sweet she looked In blue; blue like her eyes. But she must hurry. Boldly, she re-entered the store-- and when she left it, she carried a single package under bar MM; Men's shoes. Number ten*..

On this theory health is good in America. Paris.--The secret of why Aristide Briand, eleven v times premier of France, a lover of children, remained a confirmed bachelor until his death a few days ago has. been solved by the story of an unhappy love affair now being tolu for the first time. The <attitude of the great orator and statesman toward marriage dates to the early days when he was a struggling law student. In his native Nantes was a Breton maiden who received tha homage of all the young men of the best families, but this girl, Jeanne Kermandec, by name, was ambitious and had declared that she would only listen to the woo- Ifig of a man with a brilliant future. 8h» Refuted Briand. She refused to entertain the impecunious Briand of humble origin, ' and cast in her lot with a young man of his own age, one of his friends, a member of a well-known family entl e brilliant. star of -local' debating societles for whom a great future was ..predicted. Twenty years later the man of brilliance had emerged from prison after serving a sentence for fraud, and he and his ambitious wife were reduced to the direst straits, living in a miserable attic in the most squalid section of Paris. At the time Aristide Briand, who had up to then devoted himself to the law and journalism, was just coming into his own as a politician, and his dazzling eloquence earned for him the adrtilration of women of wealth and position who would gladly have linked their fortunes with the coming man, but Briand remained faithful to his first love, and cherished the hope that one day they would be reunited. When - he became premier, though by no means rich, M. Briand arranged to give his former friend a new start for the sake of the woman they had both loved, but his efforts were unavailing, and after a brief career as an official in the colonial office in France and Africa, the man fell again, dragging his wife down with hlin. Both disappeared, and when they were traced again the man was at the point of death and the woman was a wreck of her former self. Again Offers Marriage. When the husband had been lit tha . grave a year Briand offered marriage (perhaps because) she had realised the mistake she had made in rejecting him in the first instance, • she stoutly refused his offer, saying that she had no right to burden him with a woman with a past who was an ugly shadow of her former self and was representative of naught but a wasted life. In any case, she said, her own death could not be far off, and in fact she died about two years afterwards,' She was buried in an unmarked grave In the Mttle cemetery of Cocherel, where the remains of Briand now rest. , Each year, on the anniversary of the woman's death, M. Briand made a point of Journeying to Cocherel to lay flowers on the unknown grave, and not even the most important political engagements could induce him to omit this tribute to the dead woman he had loved with such obstinacy for nearly a half century. Now, through death, they are at rest, not far from each oth^r.
