Bv CHARLES P. STEWART XEA Service Writer —-SASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Aft\Y/ er Senator La Follette had ___ been indorsed for President by the Cleveland Conference for Political Action, it was the better part of two weeks before Senator Burton K. Wheeler decided to accept a place on the ticket as the Wisconsin statesman's runningmate. It wasn’t anything like as long as that before Mrs. Wheeler decided that that was what she was in favor of for her husband. “As soon as I heard what the proggressives had done in Cleveland,’’ she relates, "I told Senator Wheel-

With five children, grading fdom John, of 15, to little Dick, she Isn’t permitted to talk long on any subject without stopping to attend to the wants of one or another, or may-be several, of the youthful Wheelers. The vice presidential candidate's wife thinks perhaps the fact that women have had the vote for four years now has something to do with the growth of the progressive movement. "At any rate," she maintains,

She is not satisfied unless mother or I is doing somthtlis for her all the time Mother also is feeling the effects, but will not tell her she has to leave, as my aunt did before my grandmother came here. I never have ben ill enough to have a doetor. but I feel as If I need a rest before school begins or I will be very 111. My mother says she cannot do without me for even a week. She doesn't know I feel old all the lime, even when among young people. I am tired and nervous. Can you suggest something I could do to become rested and "young'' again? Do you think physical exercise would help me? HUNTING AN ANSWER. If you are as bad off as you say, you certainly do need a doctor, and I'd advise you to see one im- | mediately, and follow his advice, j Your mother could spare you better ; for a week now than for months j later on. I do not know thr.l exercise would i cure you, but it probably would i help. You should arrange for you j and your mother each to be, away | from home set eral hours a day.

Get some “pep.” Take . a few , dancing lessons, and talk to every I girl as if you really were interested in her. (No, don’t make love to her, but really and truly be interested.) For the time being, don’t worry about girls. Being liked by boys is much more important, at your age. Parents Change Mind Dear Miss Lee: I am a girl 17. in love with a boy 22. He used to bring me home from parties and club meetings and came to see me several times. He asly-d for dates, but I refused because my parents objected to him. Now my parents tell me they misjudged him and would like for me to go with him. He has acted so indifferent toward me I could hardly ask him to come back. Would like your advice on how to win him back. Would it be proper for me to ask him to call on me? Shall T explain why I didn't have dates with him? PEGGY. If you can do so diplomatically, you might let the boy know the situation. Whether or not you should ask him to call depends on how he takes the explanation.
political wisdom there Is, by any means.” “As campaign workers, one thing to be said for women is that there are no limits to their patience, their faithfulness. There’s no limit to the pains they'll take with the tiresome detail that conscientious political preparation calls so that men NEVER would do.” + “Mother, Frances won’t do her piano practice,” interposed 13-year-old Elizabeth, rising from the book she had been reading under the parlor window. Elizabeth is the literary member of the junior part of the family. “Oh, well,” said Mrs. Wheeler, “I suppose I’ll have to get her started.”

With the Legion Auxiliary in Indiana By CLAIRE PALMER THURSTON
A large delegation will leave Indianapolis Aug. 23 to attend the fifth annual convention of the American Legion Auxiliary. Many of the members of the department executive board will come through the city on their way to Evansville. The officials of the Indiana department are: Mrs. J. C. Glackman, Ropkport, president: Mrs. John Paul Ragsdale, Indianapolis, first vice president Mrs. Charles E. Combs, Bloomfield, second vice president; Mrs. Hazel Workman, secretary; Mrs. Helen S. Green, Garrett, treasurer; Mrs. W. A. Stevens, Columbus, historian; Mrs. O. E. Adams, Brazil, chaplain; Mrs. Lucille A. Downey, Wabash, national committee woman, ami Miss Mae Merritt, Oonntrsvilie, LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH BURKE, CONTINUED. The hours wore on, mother becoming more and more excited. I called up Karl's house almost every half hour. At last, about 1 o’clock at night, I tried to make mother go to bed. She would not, however, but she insisted that I should lie down for a while. I must have dropped asleep, for about 7 o'clock the next morning she same to my room in a very excited manner an dsaid: “Leslie, look here what the morning papers have to say about Alice.” My heart sank clear to my feet. Had Alice really made good her threat and killed herself? She certainly had not. Instead, she had gotten hold of Karl Whitney and they had been married late in the afternoon and left for New York. Anything! Just what Alice told Karl I can’t imagine, but I know him well enough to know that whatever she told him, if she threw herself upon his pitying chivalry, he would do anything she asked him. The clipping from the paper read: “Late yesterday afternoon Miss Alice Hamilton, daughte rdf Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Graves Hamilton, was married to Mr. Karl Whitney very quietly. It will be remembered that Mr. Whitney and Miss Hamilton issued Invitations to a large wedding a week or two ago, but ow-ing to the sudden illness of Miss Hamilton's father, the invitations were recalled. “The young people were married at the rectory of the Church of the Epiphany, and evidently have gone out of town for a day or two. For a moment Mr. Whitney was seen as they were leaving the rectory, and he said that the hurried marriage was decided upon yesterday, for although Mr. Hamilton was gaining daily, it would be quite a while before he would be able to stand the excitement of a large wedding. ’Naturally,’ sild Mr Whitney with a i smile, ’neither myself nor my wife cared to wait for an indefinite period.’ Two Fortunes “The wedding of Mr. Whitney and Miss Hamilton unites two of the largest fortunes in Pittsburgh. Mr. Hamilton is one of the great steel magnates of the world, and Karl Whitney was the heir to not only his father’s immense fortuce, but those of his two uncles. He is reputed to be worth sixty million. “It has been rumored that Mrs. Whitney was so pleased with her visit abroad that she would like to make her home there. If this Is true. It will mean that another great American fortune will be taken to England.” Ruth, doesn't that sound just like one of our blatant, snobbish, bowlng-to-wealth notices of a rich marriage? Sometimes I feel as though Americans, with their worship of money, are thoroughly disgusting. If I should say this to any one but you, fhey might think that I was jealous, but I certainly am not. I'm very happy to think that I am able to earn my own living with our little shop, if necessary, and that if Jack and I do make up our quarrel—and, oh. Ruth, I cannot think of living without Jack —that we both will have to work and worry’ and plan to put little Jack through col lege and live as respectable and selfrespecting citizens. Mother just broke down and cried as I read the clipping which I have quoted to you. "I wish I had never sent Alice to England.” she said. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT: The letter continued.
July 12, 1924. On recommendation of others, I traveled thirty.five miles to the Peoples Dentists to have twentyfive teeth extracted. I am certainly glad that I followed the advice of niy friends, as I suffered no pain whatever. EVERETT LOWE. Cicero, Ind. Dec. 11. 1923.
