The self-abnegation of President Harding. in. _allowing Secretary of the stage. at. the arms parley is lauded not only by party\leaders, but Is being. extolled by the visiting statesmen of other nations. They emphasize that President Harding was' the real author of the Hughes Pprogram and that in his speech opening the conference he might very properly have referred to the American proposal, but instead, he studiously refrained from any inti- mation. He let the Hughes proposal come as a big surprise, and thus al- lowed Secretary Hughes to write his name among the immortals and to be blazoned on the front page of every newspaper in the world. This con- stitutes self-effacement such as has seldom before’ been known among | the rulers of the world—and as the delegates have stopped to think it over a more sincere respect and ad- miration for President Harding has gone thrilling around the world. * %k ok x The President's official family—his cabinet—are not always dolled up in frock coats and silk hats, and on their dignity. When they get to- gether they are real human_and sometimes act like schoolboys. When they gathered for a cabinet meeting the other day “Ed” Denby called to Will Hayes, “How about the marines?” Will answered back, “A marine for every post card, isn't that the spirit?" and Denby, who was a marine himself Suring the world war, rejoined: “Yes, I'll put on a uniform again myself, if necessary —our mails must be pro- tected.” As they were flocking out of the meeting like schoolboys let loose At- torney _General Harry Daugherty spied Representative “Nick"” Long- worth and challenged him to match a dollar. Harry won and brushed aside “Nick’s” proposal to accept 90 cents. in cash. “Nick, you're a wealthy man and I insist on the whole dollar,” said Harry, and went away proudly jingling four quarters. * ok ok K There are some good fox hunters in Congress. They generally go out on moonlight nights, and they will tell you that there are more red foxes in Maryland, hardby the National Capital, than in any other area in the entire United States. This happy hunting ground is about twelve miles out, between Washington and the They also claim to They do not ride to the hounds—it is not a riding contest, but a contest between the dogs, with the hunters trailing along. And they have found that there are more dens in the Maryland hills than holes in a Swiss cheese. Often after chasing a fox for hours they are baffled by see- ing him dodge into a den with the dogs biting at his tail. The best of these congressional fox hunters are Senator “Tom” Heflin of Alabama, Representative Henry B. Steagall of labama, Representative John J. Smithwick of Florida and Representa- tive Albert W. Jeffries: of Nebraska. For all the enjovment they get out of\this sport and the invigoration of hiking through the open country, these members of Congress give full credit to “Buck” Bryant, a Washing- ton correspondent’ and champion teller of “nigger” stories. It was Bryant who discovered the humingl ground and furnished the dogs. * % % X Enjoyment of the paternalistic | spirit of this government seems to be growing, if one may judge from a letter just received by Representa- tive Martin B. Madden of Illino:s. But the writer made a sad mistake in addressing it to Mr. Madden, be- cause he is chairman of the House appropriations committee and very vigorous in his opposition to expend- ing Uncle Sam's money in state or AL LLIE . | Why Not Give i a Beautiful || Lamp? f BOUDOIR || TABLE | LAMPS FLOOR LAMPS Beautiful Silk Shades in the new at- tractive shapes. i Priced to please every purse. | $5.50 Up. | ¢ MUDDIMAN & | 616 12th St.—1204 G St. ly One Thi , Mo Co® | “Onl B E relief that Dr. King's New Discovery gives from stubborn old colds, and onrushing new ones, grippe and throat-torturing coughs has made it the standard remedy it is today.
