And she learns about the value of money. No woman who has earned
a dollar over looks at it la the same way that the woman does who has
always had her money given to her. The one sees it stained with sweat
sad blood. The other looks upon it as a mere scrap of paper, and so the
girl who has supported herself knows how to save money and the im-
portance of laying it up for a rainy day.

To consider candidates first nothing has happened
to dispel the general belief that Governor Roosevelt is
well out in front for the Demoeratie nomination. It’s
baldly simple: There isn't any strong man to oppose
him any more than there waa to block Smith in 1928.
And if the Democrats were willing to nominate a wet

they will ba unwilling to nominate a wetief Roosevelt's
strength in 1932, especially when militant wut senti-
ment seems to be growing both ia the party and among
the voters.
As to the Republican candidate, of course. Hoover .
will have the inside track, unlens discontent within the |
party should reach a critical stage. Morrow certainly !
is now the outstanding personality when one thinks of
an alternative to Hoover.
Hoover le Versatile.
But if the Republicans decide that it’s best to eat
up as a dry party or if they feel they need a candidate
who ean straddle the issue more or less gracefully, they
east very well nominate Morrow. If they gather in
convention with the assuranee that their man must
oppose Roosevelt, they will have to decide whether it
io safest to nominate a dry, a wet or a straddler to
oppose him.
Hoover, of course, might run as say of those things.
He has never committed himself on the prohibition
theory to the extent that he couldn’t say four years of
experienee had convineed him that the "noble ex peri -
ment" wouldn't work. But if you eliminate Hoover
and then decide that Morrow is too wet for a Republi-
can nomination you’re likely to find yourseit thinking

It was her aeon hour, and she had

the woman called “Marion."
She remembered the man perfect-
ly, and could describe the woman.
Nevertheless aha hesitated as she
approached the desk. It was so elabo-
rate, and all the clerks so busy.
Waiting until one of them was at
leisure, she tackled him bravely. 1 ,
“I’m looking for someone in your
hotel, but I don't know the name.
If I describe the man, ean you tell
me who he is?"
The clerked looked at her sus-
piciously, then affably. Certainly she
was honest. At leant she looked so.

Perhaps if you leave your husband on account of his temper it will
give him a shock that will bring him to reason and make him con-

FOUR NEEDED AMENDMENTS
Four conatitutional amendments are to be voted
on in November. All are progressive, and all de-
serve the support of the voters of Tosas.
They are: •
1. Extend legislative term to IM days; divide
session for introduction, hearings and passage of
bills; raise salary and cut mileage of legislators,
R Permit University of Texas to invest its per-
manent fund la its own securities, thus advancing

appellate courts. This has endorsement of the bar.

it will actually save the state money by abolishing

WASHINGTON LETTER
---By RODNEY DUTCHER.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22—Four things, more or less
inter-related, have been contributing lately to an un-
usual amount of long-range speculation about the presi-
dential election of 1982:
L The vastly inereased importance of prohibition
as a political issue. ,
t. The business depression and M Hoover’s con-
tinued, failure to become a popular president with his
party.
A The strong declaration of Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York la favor of turning prohibition
back to the states.
4. The rise of Dwight Morrow and the inereasing
assurance that he will be elected to the Senate from
New Jersey.
Such speculation becomes actually exciting to many
persons as they attempt to forecast the 1932 campaign
on the basis of what already haa been happening ia the
nomination ead election campaigns of IMO.
The two parties in the various states have been
fixing up platforms and nominating candidates for this
year’s elections, with all kinds of interesting remits.
In IMS they will meet la national convention, each to
select a presidential candidate and to devise a campaign
platform. Right now it appears as if there might be
heavy fighting at both conventiens.
Both Factions Strong.
Unions the agitation over prohibition suddenly sub-
sides it seems inconceivable that both candidates and
both platforms will straddle the issue. And still more
inconeeivable that the whole set-up will be dry. A con-
vention is never above doiag whatever seems to give
it the best chance to win and there are strong wet

ia each.
Huge appropriations bills were worked through
twice ia the house and three times in the senate.
Now aa orderly procedure, with time to act on all
matters, will let the legislature finish its work ia
one 120-day sension, and according to old end new
legialatora in caucus recently, will virtually abolish
all special sessions.
The amendment will raise the lawmakers’ pay
from $5 per day to 110 per day for the regular ses-
sion; but leave it unehanged at $5 per gay for spe-
cial sessions.
The amendment will improve legislative service
by limiting the first M days of the session to the
introduetion of MUs and disposing of emergency
■•♦tors. The second 30 days will be given over to
orderly committee hearings and review of bills. This
will asaure general legislation’s being given adequate
consideration.
The last 60 days or as much is required, will bo
spent in the enactment of lews.
After the first M days, bills can be introduced
only by sspending the rules, and a measure must
be strong enough to get four-fifths of the votes of
the initial house — and perhaps also the other
house, though this has not been determined yet-
before it can get consideration.
General legislation haa suffered by being crowd-
ed out by pet local measures in past sessions. That
will be remedied in the new session..
The legislative caucus considering the amend-
ment resulted in a decision that the amendment,

In one of these rooms was the

must leave. You really don't deserve any sympathy because you are
the victim of your,own weaknens and If yen had the spunk of a mouse
you would pack up the girl's clothes and send them to the T. W. C. A.,
and pay her board there for a week aad tell her that she would have
to make her own living or starve. Aad that you are through betas
her goat any longer. 144
And you would be doing the girl the greatest possible kindness, for you
weald make a respectable member of society of her instead of aiding and
abetting her in being a deadbeat. As it is, you are encouraging her in
being a lazy loafer, and that destroys everything that ia fine aad oqd

Your sister-in-law thinks that you will let her hang oa to you
until oho can transfer herself to some poor man whom ahe will vic-
timise for the balance of her life. For the girl who hasn’t enough
brinciple to go out and earn her own living makes the kind of wife
that burns her way through matrimony also.
* She is no more willing to work in a kitehen than sho was in an office,
and she curses the man who gets her as a wife. So for your own good
and the girl’s good, force her to go out and support herself. Look around
you and you will see that the finest, the happiest, the most alert girls that

“Bay, who sshod you to hern in anyway?”
And so I retired to an upper deck to await, the
outcome. A few momenta later I learned that Gil-

be given to the seo with due ceremoniais and that
the ace keepers would be urged to give it better

the wives that I know who were teachers betore their marriage are
among the moot efficient and helpful of helpmates and are the heads' 1"
an. Had never seen them before.
He left her, and went off to con-
sult someone else. Ho came back soon,
and asked her why she wanted the
information. She had to give some
reason, so said the first thing that
came to her mind. The real answer
was too complicated to explaia to
the clerk.
“I was there, too, and this man
and woman were so kind to me—I
wanted to thank them,” she fibbed
quickly.
Not Her Man.
“You'll have to see the night force,
I think. Your descriptions are too
vague. Unless—wait, is your man
that man walking across the lobby?"
Kay rushed ahead, but camo back
to announce that wasn't the man she
wanted.
“No? Come back at five-thirty
then. The night force will be on
then."
She had to be satisfied with that.
At fifty-thirty, when she finished
work, she was back at the Cambridge,
and again explained her mission.
Another clerk listened to her tale.
Yoe, he remembered the crowd that
had come in after the hold up at
the Crystal Palace. But the con-
fusion was so great that he couldn’t
be sure who had come and who had
gone. He knew several of the
guests had been to the night elub.
Tho house physician had been kept
busy all evening. More than that he
eould not say.
Kay was so plainly disappointed,
and the hotel so large, the guests
so numerous, that the dork seeing
her distress, finally called the house
physician, who told her that he was
positive he had not attended a mid-
dle-aged women the evening before
who had been at the Crystal Palace
hold up. He was sure.
“No one with a severe heart at-
tack?" she asked.
“No, no heart attacks last night,
young lady. I was busy all eve-
ning, but not with heart attacks."
So Futile.
All So hopeless, when she had not
a name to go on. For all she knew.
