SENATORS OPEN PROBE OF COAL MINERS' STRIKE Prepare to Sift Charges of Employers, Workers in Long Holdout. By United Press PITTSBURGH, Pa.. Feb. 23.—The Senate Interstate Commerce Subcommittee to investigate the bituminous coal industry arrived in Pittsburgh today and established heaquarters. Soon after their arrival, members of the committee left for tour of mining camps in the Pittsburgh district. Philip Murray, international vice president of the United Mine Workers of America was in charge of the inspection tour. Four members of the Nation’s highest legislative body planned to visit personally the soft coal fields, interview operators, miners and sift charges and counter-charges made by employers and workers on causes for the long drawn-out strike. The subcommittee is composed of Senators Gooding (Rep.), Idaho; Wagner (Dem.), New York; Wheeler iDem.), Montana; Pine (Rep.), Oklahoma, and Metcalf (Rep.), Rhode Island. All but Metcalf are here. He was forced to remain in Washington because of illness. When the subcommittee survey is completed full facts of the investigation will be laid before the entire Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, and this body will have iiearings to permit both miners and operators to present their grievances publicly. The subcommittee planned, after establishing its headquarters, to tour the mining camps. The Senators first wanted to look into charges made by Representative Casey (Dem.), Pennsylvania, that wives and children of striking miners are starving. Other charges to be investigated include: That coal operators have hired 2,500 gunmen to protect their properties against strikers and these gunmen, many with the power of mine police, rule the coal fields brutally. That coal operators, through their police, permit liquor and dope to be brought into mining camps to satisfy the craving of nonunion strike breakers. That operators are attempting by force to break the United Mine Workers of America and place all mines on an open shop basis. NO TRACE OF MISSING FACTORY GIRL FOUND Police Asked to Renew Search for Evelyn Welch, 18. Police today were again asked to search for Miss Evelyn Welch, 18, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Welch, who disappeared last Friday and has not been heard from.

South St. Payday was Friday and she asked a girl friend at the factory to stand in line for her and get her pay envelope, as she had to go out to city hospital for treatment. Only one clew to her whereabouts has been found. A boy friend in Beech Grove said the girl phoned him Sunday and talked of going to Detroit. Her parents said she had also talked of going to Pittsburgh, but a checkup of relatives there revealed that she had not visited them. She had but $9, they declare. INDIANA ROTARY ELECTS Worth O.

RISKED PNEUMONIA NEGLECTING COLD

Congestion Spread From Nose Passages Down to His Chest —Then He Called Doctor RELIEVED QUICKLY BY NOVEL HOME METHOD Numbers of Indianapolis people—like Theo. H. Wicks—have found it no longer necessary to neglect a cold because of expense, inconvenience or the need of medicines unpleasant to take. For hospital physicians are now recommending for home use an inexpensive and pleasant method that brings quick, sure relief—often in a few hours. Mr. Wicks’ case is typical. He had neglected his cold, hoping each day it would “cure itself.” Instead, it got worse, spreading from his nose passages down toward his lungs. Fearing pneumonia then, he called the clinic, where doctors gave him double doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, ter pin-hydrate and other ingredients used in treating even the most extreme hospital cases. Relief began with the first pleasant swallow'. He felt its comforting, healing w'armth—from his nose passages deep down into his chest. That night he could breathe freely through both nostrils and coughed very little. The next morning he like a different person—rid of

Is Thirty the Love Deadline? Mencken Sees Gallstones and Early Love in Close Connection.

BY H. L. MENCKEN DR. DURANT'S observation that no rational man ever falls in love after thirty is surely not new. I printed it in a book called “In Defense of Women” ten or twelve years ago. Nor was it new when I printed it. You will find it, if you search hard enough, in Shakespeare, who, I have no doubt, borrowed it from an Italian, who had cabbaged it from the Greeks. By reiterating it in various forms, some of them voluptuous and others indignant, George Bernard Shaw has earned at least $35,000. by my estimate, since the year 1886. And it is still good for an occasional outfit of lecturer’s gauds for Durant, and a case of Assmanshaueser Hinterkirch Auslese 1921 for me. But, like all other truths, it is not to be taken too literally. I have seen men of thirty-five magnificently in love, and full of a fine, fierce pride in the fact. But these same men also wrote poetry, and believed that a couple of quinine pills, taken before going to bed, would cure a cold. In other words, they were excessively romantic, which is to say, balmy. Durant, I suppose, referred to more rational fellows, as I did in my book, and the Greeks long before either of us. Such rational fellows no more can fall in love, in the full romantic sense, than a dry Congressman can resist a drink. Their very incapacity for it, indeed, is one of the chief proofs of their rationality. For this romantic love, when all is said and done, is simply nonsense, and hence not worth much mourning. Its cause, I am informed by agents in the medical colleges, is an ebullition of the hormones; its effects are indistinguishable from those of a somewhat prolonged and injudicious jag. The victim, looking at black, sees white. u a u THE lady who has knocked him off, seen through his glazed eyes, becomes an amalgam of Florence Nightingale. Marie Antoinette, Lola Montez, Edith Cavell, Grace Darling and the tenth and best wife of Belshazzar, king of Babylon. His view of her, in the sight of all other persons, is apt to seem comical. And when he marries her, he commonly finds that it is painfully erroneous. Very few early marriages are genuinely happy. They may last, but so do gallstones last. I add politely that what is pain for the gander is probably agony for the goose. But though the romantic love described in the works of the standard poets thus is mainly a function of youth, and can not survive into actual maturity, I see no reason why a man sliding into the forties should not marry satisfactorily, and make a good husband. His illusions may be gone, but if the lady he claps his eye on really is charming there may be a great many very soothing realities. The plain fact is that many females of the human species are lovely, and that their loveliness survives even the harshest of spotlights. They make pretty pictures, especially when competently made up. They have nimble wits and are amusing. They know how to be agreeable. They are tolerantly cynical, and do not expect too much, either of God or of man. I can easily imagine even the most hardboiled of men falling for such a wench. In fact, I have seen them fall—and observed them happy afterward. * n tt THIS, to be sure, is not romantic love. It is not idealistic. It sees nothing that is not actually there. But, as I say, what is there may be very charming. If it is, then it is apt to last. For charm is almost as durable as gallstones. It is no more a function of mere youth than it is a figment of illusion. The gen-

WALL STREET’S SPOKESMAN IS AIDING WILLIS Eastern Financial Interests Enter Ohio Race Against Hoover. BY RAY TUCKER Scripos-Howard Staff Correspondent CINCINNATI, Feb. 23.—Eastern political and financial interests favorable to the nomination of President Coolidge have entered the Ohio primary fight on the side of Senator Willis end against Secretary Hoover. Charles D. Hilles, New York national committeeman and leader of the “draft-Coolidge bloc,” has asked several influential Cincinnati Republicans to vote for Mrs. Wilma Sinclair Levan, Willis’ only woman candidate for delegate-at-large. She is national committeewoman now, and Hilles said his interest in her primary victory was a desire that she be continued in that office. Wall Street Spokesman Hilles is * looked upon as Wall Street's spokesman in party councils. It is understood he has sent the same letter to other Republican leaders in Ohio. Several circumstances surrounding Hilles’ intervention in the Willis-Hoover contest indicate a close tieup between the New York interests antagonistic to Hoover. These serve to bear out rumors that the anti-Hoover forces hope to use the candidacies of such men as Willis, Watson. Curtis and Lowden to check the Hoover movement and cause a convention deadlock that would permit them to stage another “midnight bedroom conference.” Coolidge for Choice Mrs. Levan said that after Willis she would be for the nomination of Coolidge, as Hilles is, although under the Ohio law she was forced to name a second choice, who would give written permission, and selected Lowden. She hopes to have a chance to vote for Coolidge. It also was revealed here that Willis was preparing to • seek the Presidential nomination and was pledging delegates as long ago as last May.

uinely charming woman remains charming at sixty. She can no more fade, in any real sense, than a diamond can fade. It is not necessary to fall in love with such a woman in order to appreciate her. Appreciating her is a function, not of the hormones, but of the higher cerebral centers. In other words, it is a function of men beyond thirty-five. As for women, I don’t believe that they ever fall in love at all. They are far too intelligent to do it. When one hears of a woman falling wildly in love with a movie actor, or a gypsy violinist, or the curate of the parish, one simply hears of a woman who is trying to bring the darling of her heart to terms. Let him show the proper signs of disturbance, and she promptly will forget poor Jack Gilbert. No woman above the intellectual grade of a cavalryman or a cockroach ever yields herself completely to romantic illusion. In even The prettiest fellow, when she has looked at him seriously, she sees a good husband. (Copyright, 1923, Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

PAINLESS EXTRACTION Absolutely No Pain or No After Effects. Free With Other Work.

URGES LAW FOR COURTS TQ OUST OHIO OFFICIALS Summary Action for Men Who Violate Oath Proposed. By Times Special TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 23.—Amendment of Ohio's constitution to provide for prompt impeachment and removal from office by action of the courts, instead of through action of the Legislature, of public officials who have intentionally violated their oath of office, was urged Wednesday by Judge Reynolds R. Kinkadc. Judge Kinkadc has been judge of the common pleas court of Lucas County, of the Appellate Court of the Ninth district, and is now a justice of the Ohio State Supreme Court. Jurisdiction to Court “Where a judge or other public official deliberately has and intentionally violated his oath of office,” Judge Kinkade said, “there should be no delay and no political protection. The case should go to the Common Pleas Court, should take precedence of all other matters before that court, and the court should have final jurisdiction. “If the jury found the accused guilty the penalty should be immediate removal from office. Further penalty would depend on the statutes, but the removal from office of the guilty one should be immediate and final.” “That would require an amendment to the State constitution, and if the people of Ohio understood the situation I believe every man and woman in Ohio would vote for such an amendment. “The situation in Indiana is an example of a man holding high office after his unfitness for the office has been established. Put Ban on Politics “In Ohio the provision for impeachment of State and judicial officers is in the State constitution. The charges must be brought before the Legislature and the judgment of guilty or innocence is by that body. “Such proceeding almost invariably become a party issue. The Legislature is either Republican or Democratic and party politics enter into the question. “When a judge or other high official. for money or through influence or for any other reason, intentionally violates his oath of office, he should be removed promptly and summarily from office. Politics should not enter into the situation.”
