Fort Worth Hat a Favorite Son
District Attorney Robert A. Stuart is said to be
the favorite son of one-half the voters of Fort Worth
and Tarrant county. He was a state senator for four
years He made life interesting, or thought he did,
for Oovernor Moody while the son of Williamson
eeunty was serving his first term. Then Stuart be
came a candidate for district attorney against Jesse
Martin. Incumbent. Martin was serving his first term
and was a candidate for renomination.
The Rev. Ji Frank Norris backed Stuart to the
limit. All the Hoover democrats backed 8tuart
won the primary’ nomination by a very scant majori
ty. There was a contest threatened; indeed it was
launched but the nomination finally landed in the
lap of Stuart and he was elected in November of last
year. There is a well defined rumor afloat in North
Texas that the Rev. J. Frank Norris would like to
play the political role in Texas that Bishop Cannon
is playing In Virginia and elsewhere, with Stuart his
first choice for the office of governor subject to the
democratic primary in the month of July, 1930.
Bishop Cannon has placed an independent ticket
In the field in Virginia. Those who are said to be be
hind the 8tuart movement call themselves democrats
and should they decide to take a whirl In the political
arena then the name of Stuart will appear on the
dtmocratic primary ballot as their standard bearer
and choice for the office now so sbly filled by the
rsd-headed son and idol of Williamson and many
other counties of the Lone Star commonwealth.
Millenium to be Ushered In
War Ood Mars has been a terror since the very
beginning of recorded history. Man has been a fight
ing brute since his first appearance on the surface of
the earth. Now the milenium is to be ushered in
by the tribes of man.
That remarkable document known as the Kellog't
Briand treaty for renunciation of war was proclaimed
July 24 by President Herbert Hoover at a simple
• White House ceremony .
Speaking of the treaty the president said: “It sug
gested a new step in international law. and repre
sented a platform from which there is instant appeal
to the public opinion of the world as to specific acts
and deeds.’’
And then in conclusion the president added that
he would dare predict that the influence of the treaty
for the renunciation of war will be felt In a large pro
portion of all future international acts."
He announced that the "laying down of three
American cruisers would be suspended until there has
been an opportunity for full consideration of their
effect upon the final agreement for parity with Great
Britain that I expect to be reached "
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of the British
empire on the other side of the Atlantic was in the
picture at the same time that President Hoover was
proclaiming to the world the treaty for renunciation
of war.
MacDonald announced a program of definite re
ductions In naval building and a slow down of the
current program of British naval construction.
Woodrow Wilson did not dream in vain. He did
not plan In vain. He did not die broken hearted in
vain. His dream of the outlawry or renunciation of
war by the nations of the world would come to pass
and that the blood and treasure sacrifices of the
World war would make the universe safe for de
mocracy.
Lest we forget. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald
is the leader of the socialist labor party of Great
Britain He is one of the world s outstanding states
men. At the beginning of the World war he was a
pacifist. He was hooted and hated by a vast ma
jority of the people of Great Britain. His picture was
turned to the wall.
Now he is the foremost advocate of lasting peace
In all Europe and has announced his willingness to
throw in the discard the naval mastery of the seven
aeaa upheld by his empire for four centuries
MacDonald speaks for the labor world. He was a
socialist before he became a laborite. Now his influ
ence is commanding, his voice is appealing and his
messages ring around the world.
Guinn Williams is Coy
There is a coy West Texan in the city of Washing
ton Oulnn Williams of Wise county “has been over
whelmed with invitations to make the race (or gover
nor." He is serving his fifth term from the Thir
teenth congressional district. He has made nine races
for political office and never a defeat or a Waterloo.
One of his sponsors is the editor of the Wichita Falls
Times. v .
Asserting that the winning candidate for governor
must be msture. conservative and practical, the Times
Mid: "It is a big order. Of those considered ns cer
tain candidates none fill it. Those who are looking
about for someone answering that description might
turn to Decatur. That’s where Guinn Williams lives.”
Williams is a pro and a regular. He was asked if
he would enter the race—toss his hat into the ring,
so to speak. His reply. "That my hat has been in the
ring nine times already. I suspect it will be tossed
•*«ain at the proper tune.’* No doubt he was thinking
* bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”

By HERBERT C. PLUMMER
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—The name *'Wiliard" and
hotel have been synonymous for almost a century in
Washington.
And the Willard hotel boasts that it not only is
one of the most celebrated hostclries in the United
Sta'es, but also that its reputation is international.
Since 1647 it lias occupied the site on the north
west corner of Pennsylvania avenue at Fourteenth
street. Presidents have made it their home. Am
bassadors have made it thci. embassy. Scores of men
high in the official life of this and other countiles
have added to Its fame and historic glory by being
guests there.
Announcement was made the other day that the
hotel had been sold. But the new owners hastened
to assure all that the name •Willard/ would be
returned in the nomenclature of Washington. Plans
for improvement have been worked out, but they will
In no way disturb the hotel's illustrious history.
• • • •
TEMPORARY WHITE HOUSE
Calvin Coolidge lived here during his entire term
as vice president. And upon succeeding to the presi
dency, on the death of Harding, he continued to live
at the Willard for three weeks. During that time,
the entire office force of the White House was quar
tered there and the business affairs of the nation
carried on within its walls.
During the administration of Woodrow Wilson, the
vice president, Thomas R. Marshall, lived at the
Willard. President Harding occupied the presidential
suite the night before he was inaugurated.
Lincoln, when he came to Washington under guard
for his first inauguration, stopped there.
Lafayette was entertained there, and the hotel was
the scene of the banquet tendered him by congress.
Zachary Taylor. In 1849. was the first president of
the United States to stop at the Willard. From the
balcony, on February 23. a few days before his
Inauguration, he addressed the people of Washington.
Franklin Pierce was a guest there just before his
inuguration in 1853. and here also on March 30, of
the same year. Mrs Millard Fillmore, wife ©f the
retiring president, died.

GASTRONOMY
Buchanan made the Willard his headquarters
when he came to Washington for his inauguration.
But perhaps the hotel's most interesting guests
were the members of the first embassy from Japan
who arrived in Washington in 1860 after a Journey of
three months.
The object of their visit was to obtain a copy of
the treaty between the United States and their gov
ernment. the original of which had been burned In
1858 in the great fire at Jeddo. They remained
there for the entire month they were in Washington.
The Willard hotel was born in a day when gas
tronomic devotion was not taken carelessly by states
men. The first Willard came to Washington to
rescue a failing hotel with his cuisine. The wife of
the owner remembered the steward in charge of the
dining room on a Hudson river steamer. He was sent
for. He would stand, white aproned, at the head of
the table and carve.
Later he sent for his brothers. Since 1847 the
Willard hotel has been a fixture of the national
capital.

mules who lost their lives in the gold rush. Maybe

READ THIS FIRST ,
Charlotte Chatterton. whose nick
name is Chatty, is a born gossip,
and busybody. She loses her job in
Mrs. Mayberry's hat store because
she talks too much, and leaves
without even collecting her salary.
However, she sends her young
brother. Pud. for It. and he finds
out why she was fired and "kids”
her about it.
Mrs. Harriett Chatterton. Chatty's
mother, does plain sewing for a liv
ing. Her old friend and customer.
Mrs. Van Nuys. persuades her rich
husband to give Chatty a position
in the filing department of the Van
Nuys company, which sells bonds.
There Chatty meets a handsome
red headed salesman, Dave Jordan,
whom she once saw buying flowers
for a pretty girl in the flower shop
across the street from Mrs. May
berry's store.
Billie Langenau, the head of the
filing department, tells Chatty that,
while all of the girls in the office
have fallen in love with Jordan at
some time or other, the only one
he ever notices is Agnes Her ford.
Mr. • Van's” secretary, a tall, plain,
quiet girl.
But Jordan does notice Chatty—
at least to the extent of telling her
that he liked her looks the first
day she came to the office minus
powder, nail polish and a wave in
her hair. And Chatty, who had be
gun to use a little make-up in imi
tation of Billie, tells Jordan that
Billie makes up a great deal and
looks very attractive. He advices her
not to broadcast the fact that Billie
does make up, for she may not
want everyone to know It, particu
larly George Mayhew, one of the
salesman rdth whom she goes
around a great deal. Chatty wishes
she had not told him about it—and
when he is gone she takes off her
powder and the bright pink polish
she had painted on her nails. She
lias begun to care a great deal about
what he thinks of her.
That night, Billie, who lives with
her sister, comes to see an empty
flat next door to the Chatterton’s
flat and decides to take it. She tells
Chatty they can have good times
together. . _

STORY)

CHAPTER VI
The only real time that working
girls have to themselves is Satur
day afternoon and Sunday.
And so it was not until the next
Saturday afternoon that Billie Lan
genau and her sister moved into the
little flat Just across the hall from
the Chattertons' flat in Lipton
street.
They came about four o'clock In
George Mavhews small car. Just
behind them came a truck piled
high with their household goods.
“Here they are!” Chatty called to
her mother, as the two machines
stopped In the street below. "I won
der what their furniture is like.’
True busy-body that she was She
had hidden herself behind the crisp
white curtains in the Front Room"
an hour before to watch for them.
And her bright, sharp eyes were
fixed on them now with the intent
ness of a theatergoer watching his
favorite actors.
“They have a canary,” she went
on excitedly. "Billie's holding the
cage in her lap, and the sister has
a great big potted palm in her arms.
I can't see her face . . George
Mayhew's helping Billie out of his
car. but he's letting the sister
scramble out by herself—”
“I don't suppose he can be in two
places at once.” Mrs. Chatterton
broke in gently. ‘ Chatty, uon't be
so hard on people.”
Chatty scarcely heard her. She
was lost in the scene below . .
The driver was lifting Billie's furni
ture out of the truck now, and
Chatty wanted to see It all.
"What lovely stuff!” she sighed.
"The darilngest red lacquer table
and chest—and the sweetest little
dressing table, all white en-mel!

peek! You don't know what you’re
missing!"
Her mother shook l.cr head, with
its top-knot of blonde hair that was
still bright and wavy, and looked
younger than her tired, pale face
did. somehow or other.
"I don't do any peeping from be
hind curtains,” she said firmly. “I
never have spied on my neighbors,
and I’m not going to start it now—
and you shouldn't either. Chatty.
It’s almost like peeping into their
windows."
Chatty turned and gave her a
quick, wondering look. "Mother,
you're just not human!” she cried.
“Haven't you any curiosity about
people? Don't you like to know
things about them?”
Her mother did not answer, and
Chatty turned back to the window.
“Well, they muSt make wonderful
salaries to have furniture like that
—that’s all I have to say!" she de
clared, her eyes fastened on the
truck once more. “It’s-the kind of
stuff that Mrs. Van has in her house
—little Oriental rugs and the most
wonderful yellow mirror in a silver
frame that you ever saw in all your
life! And. upon my soul, that man
is taking a little bit of a baby grand
piano out of the truck! He is! A
baby grand PIANO! And a daven
port covered with green SATIN
BROCADE, if you please! Now.
where on earth do you suppose two
office girls got the money for gor
geous stuff like that! And not even
stenographers, either! Just lillng
clerks—”
"You don't know what kind of
work the sister does, do you?" Mrs.
Chatterton interrupted once more.
"She may have some very good po
sition, where she makes a gerat deal
of money, Chatty . . . And if
I were you I wouldn't make remarks
like that about a girl who has been
as kind as Billie Langenau has been
to you! Really, I don’t know where
you got such a sharp tongue. Not
from me. I’m sure.**
Chatty turned away from the
window'. "Well, mother.” she said,
"if you'd only look at the stuff
they’re bringing in here you would
n’t scold me . . . Why, there’s
never been such stuff on Lipton
street before in all the years we've
lived here. I’m going over and of
fer to help them get settled, and
I'll bet you anything that when I
get a look at their forks and knives
they'll be solid rllver! Ill Just bet
you MONEY on it!”

Billie’s sister, Sara, was about
thirty.
She was taller than Billie. But
she had the same lovely dark eyes
and hair, and she was beautifully
dressed in tan and brown silk.
“Of course, we need help. We
need lots of it,” she said, when
Chatty, covered by a bungalow ap
ron, knocked on the door of the flat
and was introduced to her.
“Were going to change our1
clothes and plunge right in." Billie
added, on her knees beside a suit
case that lay on the floor. “Otorge
and the moving man can set the
piano up and lay the rugs—and we
girls can do the rest of it. Weren't!
you a dear, Chatty, to come over
and lend a hand?"
By half past six the little place
was in order. Even the pale yellow
silk curtains were at the windows
and the clean towels hung In
straight rows in the white-tiled
bathroom.
Chatty, washing and wiping her
hands, saw that the initials em
broidered upon the ends of every
one of them were not Lillie’s ini
tials. They were not Sara's either.
She laid one down before her on
the chest of drawers and studied
the embroidered letters. It was hard
to make them out, but she finally
did: “W. L. B.”
"Now. then, who's 'W. L. B.’? she
wondered.
But she did not waste mu:h time
in idle wondering. For that was not

Nasal catarrh is almost as com
mon a$ existence itself. Hardly an !
Individual in our American climate
escapes attack. In one form or an
other it attaclu practicaly every
citizen.
A perfectly normal nose should
have exactly the amount of secre
tion necessary for its lubrication.
To require the use of a handker
chief, or at lea.* the frequent use
of the handkerchief, is an evidence
of abnormality. The amount of the
nasal secretion should be like the
salivary sccre* ion—there should be
just enough to exercise its functon.
The urge to e pcctoratc frequent
ly is proof of disease. No absolute
ly healthy person has any excess of
secretion.
The nose should be free and clear
at all times. Nasal breathing ought
to be possible under all circum
stances.
As a matter c. fact, one side or
the other of the average nose 13
clogged a good deal of the time. It
is a common experience for one to
have, first of one side and then the
other, more or less closure of the
nasal passage.
This Is due to thickening of the
mucous membrane of the nose
There is enlar*ementof the blood
vessels, with ready congestion of
these elastic tissue*
There are other cases where one
or both sides of the nose may be
completely blocked. On examina
tion it will be found, perhaps, that
the nasal passage is filled with a
translucent, pearly, round and
smooth mass. This is a nasal poly
pus.
Sometimes, when the trouble
comes on in early life the contour
of the face may be changed by
the growth of the polypus. This
gives a peculiar flat or •frog-fac
cd” appearance. Fortunately, nasal
polypus rarely appears in children
It Is more common in adults and
particularly in men who are ex
posed to dirt and dust.
In many cases there are many
growths. Instead of one single
polypus, there may bo a mass, vary
ing in size from a kerr l I corn
to an English walnut. I have seen
many a polypus the size of a small
oyster.
It is not sufficient to srire off
this surplus tissue After removal
! it is essential to treat the undcrly
( ing difficulty. Otherwise, thu yoly
[ pus quickly reforms, and in a few
weeks after its removal there Is
found a mass as big as before.
The presence of nasal ploypus tn
i dicates. in most instances, disease ;
of one or more of the cavities t *en
i ing into the nose and knew’n as the
nasal sinuses. There must be treat- 1
I ment of the fundamental cause.
The condition is not rious. but j
it is disagreeable and demands at- |
