ANYTHING TO WIN Congress is facing an unparalleled experience. A little group of self-styled progressives have conspired to block the organization of the new Congress. Though professed believers in majority rule they are blocking the recognized majority party in Congress in its effort to provide working machinery for the sixty-eighth session. They are boring within, with a hope of weakening the structure of the great majority organization so that it may ultimately crumble. There is no hope of real success for any principles which the little group advocates in keeping Congress in idleness and -the President waiting at the capitol for an opportunity to deliver his message. It is to be hoped that the majority will find a means of victory in the organization of the national legislature with- out sacrificing the party tenents. It is to be hoped that the Republicans will agree upon a platform of constructive legis- lation, with the wise counsel of President. Coolidge, and place it befofe the country without the least equivocation. With spurious organizations of various sorts offering destructive criticism and fanciful remedies for ills of the nation which can be met only by a sound and constructive platform, the Republicans in Congress have before them an opportunity to once more prove to the nation that the party, which has led the country in its progress of the last several decades, still is virile, able and unafraid. MISS TARABAI A Hindu woman, said to be stronger than Sandow, is the theatrical sensation in the orient. She Miss Tarabai, 30 years old, born in Rajputana. One of her stunts is to bridge herself in the air, with feet on the back of one chair and neck on another, and allow two men to pound with sledgehammers on a 250-pound stone resting on her chest. This is a favorite trick of hypnotists — demonstration might be a better word than trick. It suggests that Miss Tarabai may perform in a condition of self-hypnotism—auto-hypnosis. Strength, after all, is more in the will power and imagi- nation than in the muscles, nerves and glands. This i proved frequently around insane asylums when it requires half a dozen men to subdue a frail little woman-patient dur- ing maniacal frenzy.

No one knows that Paula Perier has jhad a baby, consequently it is @pso- lutely malictous to make up a story of this kind, “I oftimes wonder, Leslie, if these scandal mongers ever remember that the commandment, ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,’ is quite as binding on hu- man beings as ‘Thou shalt not com- mit adultery’ .” “Ruth, you are a dear girl. see things so clearly.” “I am only using common sense, that’s all Leslie.

Ridi- | culing a child destroys his ambition and powers of accom-| plishment at the roots. " LIFE IN TROPICS Evolution of man could never have taken place in the tropics, says Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of expedition trying to locate the cradle of the human race in Mongolia. He reasons that life in the tropics is too easy, and men | get “soft” unless they have to scurry around and work hard for a living. Progress comes only by meeting and conquer- ing obstacles. Obstacles should dismay no one. They are sent to “bring out” our powers—to develop our potential abilities.

He is unfortunately on record with a number ofj “views.” Some of these he has put into words; others are embodied in| actions of his which speak louder than words. To get them all, or even a part of them, into a single platform would be too much for the skill of even the most adroit poli- tical carpenter. Some of them, if reaffirmed, would make it impos- sible for Mr. Ford to accept ‘the nomination of any existing party, or of any conceivable party. Hence the brilliancy of the sug- gestion to pitch all this rubbish out of the window and accept Mr. Ford for his own true worth with- out any pretense thait he is a fur- belowed Lady Clare. Mr. Pointer explains that in no case wowld Mr. Ford “sign his name on any dotted line either before or after his nomination.” That noble stand would take him into the campaign as a refreshing novelty. All ‘that his advocates would have to do when asked where their candidate came from would be to get rid of all the old heroics about Appo- mattox and the apple tree,and point lo the millions of fiivvers covering this broad land.
