"It is reported unofficially that President Harding is having more
difficulty in selecting a private Hecietary than any other member of
tho official family. During tho last few years this post has become
of supreme importance, and the i ualiflcatlons involved are infinite
in their variety." Washington News dispatch.
BUT Willi tlio return from the cvei-ffliides of Florida, the difficul
ties of this si-lection should be lessened.
The President's secretary must posses, first of nil' a think skin,
lie can't be touchy or temperamental. He must be capable of absorb
ing the irritiitintc importunities of the ubiquitous self-seeker.
I In must have a cool head, a clear eye, and yet be aide to exhibit
emotion upon oeeassion, and when necessity calls combine, firmness
with tact. A mere jiood-natured office boy is not enough. There
must be flirgressire as well as defensive capabilities.
As a famous diplomat recently remarked, the President's private
secretary must be able to show his teeth as well iin wng his tail.
Moreover, with the President's laudable desire to remove section
alism from the White House, his private secretary Nhould be familiar
with the south, its problems and the psychological complexes of its
climate. Intimate acquaintance with conditions below the Mason nnd
Dixon line, therefore, would be a distinct asset.
Under the circumstances and with these desiderati in view, there
would seem slight reason for the president-elect to hesitate longer. He
need waste no more time looking for the right party, the right party
has been presented, and is undoubtedly looking for him. For where
could he find a better choice, than "this fair si.ed 'gator from Henry
M. Bennett of Jacksonville, Florida," which he has accepted as the
White House pet. '
But why a pet? As Mr. Harding well says, "we are preaching
simplicity and thrift as one of the necessary remedies to effect an
American cure." Pets come under the head of luxuries. They spin
not, neither do they toil, (ialmaliel, the 'gator with his six-inch hide
and his six-foot smile, those gleaming bicuspids and that persuasively
wagging tail, the clear yellow eye, the cool judicial head, and ability
to maintain perfect efficiency, on a dozen meals a year! Wasted as
a pet ! Not on the Limited for Normalcy. For here, indeed, is the per
fect private secretary. 4

JnpIN WINTER in this pleasant land, where I have pitched my
. A moving tent, but goods like snow and sleet are banned, and
frosts don't function worth a emit. Yet fogs come drifting from
the deep and morns and eves are often cold- and shivers through
your system creep, and all the air seems damp with mould. And
then you'd'like to build a fire, a good old-fashioned roaring blaze,
such as all mortal scouts desire, on cold and clammy winter days.
But hero, where all the prospects please, and only profiteers are
vile, you'll have to sit around and freeze no man can own a cord
wood pile. AVe buy our wood in little sacks which from singe dis
tant forests came ; with chunks the size of'carpet tacks we feed the
sad and ghastly flame. Our coal we purchase by the quart, nnd
burning it seems quite a crime; no fire can roar and rip and snort
when fed a pellet, at a time. The Fog enshrouds this winter night,
it pierces through me like a sword; my lantern's burning as I
write it's all the heat I can afford. But there are countless
sunny days when everything is fine and grand, and then I take
my lyre and praise the glories of this wondrous land.

ANITA STEWART in
."THE YELLOW TYPHOON!' ,
Beautiful Settings Are Background for
Thriller
Some of the most beautiful settings,
both out-door and interior, are shown
in Anita Stewart's greatest picture
"Tho Yellow Typhoon," now showing
at tho Hinlto theatre.
Tho settings Include beautiful coun
try estates in New York, great New
York hotels, chateaux of Purls, Purls
hotels and fashionable euros and gum
lillng places, scenes from Shanghai,
Manila, Washington, London and the
famous watering places of Europe.
There are also beautiful scenes
"Outside the Law"
Onco in tho while a picture Is pro
duced that to use a theatrical term has
everything. Such a feature is "Out
sido the Law," a melodrama Btarrlng
I'rlscllla Dean with Lon Chancy and
Whooler Onkman plnying parts equal
in importance, which Is the major at
traction at the llialto theatre for a
four days' run beginning yesterday.
"Outside the Law" is a picture big
enough to stand on its own feet as a
production, to bo viewed with no
thought of who is playing In It, but
all the same the fact that such popular
stars as Miss Dean, Lon Chaney and
Wheeler Oakman, to say nothing of
others equally as prominent in tho film
world, have fine parts will be found
interesting. The story of "Outside the
Law" concerns the reformation of
three crooks, burglars to be exact, thru
the teachings of a Chinese follower of
Confucius and the Influence of a little
child and the drama is provided by
relating what happened when a super
crook framed one of his pals for a pris
on sentence and attempted to railroad
"Silky Moll" for a Jewel robbery.
