Life of Hardings Simple and Domestic
In a series of articles she is con
tributing to the press exposing some
of the pretenses of society Mrs. Eliza
beth Poindexter, wife of the ambassa
dor to Peru and former United States
senator, gives the following glimpse
of the home life of the president and
his wife:
The President and Mrs. Harding,
incidentally, are setting excellent ex
amples to Washington society, for
their home life is simple and do
mestic. ;
Not long ago I had my best oppor
tunity to learn just how Mr. and Mrs.
Harding have made a real honte of
the white house, for on this particular
occasion I was conducted through the
executive mansion with a group of
other women, about 25 in all--among
them Mrs. Keyes—pronounced “Kize”
—the wife of the senator from New
Hampshire.
We assembled in a very bright and
cheerful library on the second fioor.
There was a fire burning in the fire
place, and a profusion of Howers on
every side. On the grahd piano was a
huge vase filled with pink snapdrag
ons, on a table were pink carnations,
and on a small desk near a window
overlooking the lovely lawn in. the
rear was a low vase with pink roses.
Mrs. Harding is very fond of flowers.
There were two old-fashioned book
cases on either side of the fireplace,
filled with old and new books. There
were only three *portraits in the room
—one of Mrs. Harding, which hung|
over the mantel, one of Dolly. Madi
son and one of Monroe. The hangings

’ DIES VIOLENT* DEATH
SAT ON POISON AND DIED IN
GREAT AGONY BEFORE
REACHING HOME.
THOMASVILLE, Ga.—David
White, “cattle tick eradication inspec
tor, died at Choctaw Corners, near
here, last night from dipping vat
solution poison.
Inspector White was sitting on a
can of undiluted poison, in which
there was a hole through which a por
tion of the poison worked into his
clothing and caused a severe blister.
Mr. White started home horseback,
but so severe did the burning become
that he went in a creek to bathe off
the poison. Failing to get relief in the
creek Mr. White stopped at the home
of 1.. B, Champion and telephoned
for a physician, but when the doctor
arrived it was seen that there was no
chance to check the work of the poi
son, and Mr. White died in great
agony.
were of silk, in Harding blue, with
rugs on the floor of the same shade.
A regulation tea table stood at one
side of the room, Miss Harlan, Mrs.
Harding’s secretary, presided here.
I recall that on this particular oc
casion Mrs. Harding wore a rose pink
velvet ' dress, I should call it, which
hung straight from her shoulders. It
had loose sleeves with an inner sleeve
of cream lace. The vest was the same,
and it had a girdle with loose ends of
gold and pink. She wore shoes to
match. Her hair was done as she has
always worn it since I have. known
her, waved and high.
It has been interesting to me, in'
view of Mrs. Harding’s recent illness,
that she has been since her recovery
so grateful for all the kind thoughts
and prayers offered up for her recov
ery, and, btimg an ‘‘old-fashioned
Methodist,” I am sure she knows they
helped to save her.
The presidential aides, Major [al
dinger and Captain Taylor, on duty
with Miss ‘Harlan, took us about the
upper floor. It was my first chance to
see where the chief executive and his
family spend their hours alone. We
went in the Lincoln room, which has
the same furniture used in his time—
a wonderful old bed, beautifully carv
ed, six feet wide and more than seven
feet long. The Andrew Jackson room
was being occupied by a guest. |
~ Mrs. Harding and the president are
to visit Alaska this year, and she has
been looking forward to the trip with
a great deal of anticipation ever since
her recovery. ,
W. M. EASTERLIN GROUND TO

ALL SORTS OF THINGS HAP
PEN WHEN WHOLE CROWD
REMOVE THEIR HATS.
The members of the Baldhead Club
of America, at their seventh annual
convention in Hart‘ford recently,
stepped out in front of the Heublein
hotel to have their pictures taken. The
<un was shining brightly. A Mr. Shee
ban, directing, shouted: “When I
count five—at the fifth count, take off
vour hats. Remember.”
The camera clicked. Mr. Sheeban
counted five. One hundred and fifty
derbies and fedoras were doffed al
most with a single motion. One hun
dred and fifty shining pates were bar
ed, caught the glitter of the sun’s
ravs and flung them back to that con
ceited planet. s L e
Apollo, - panic-stricken, lashed his
golden horses. He could be scen dis
tinctly placing hand to eyes to keep
out the glare from Hartford, Conn.
“Turn off the sun.” The discourag
ed planet thumped despondently be
low the horizon. They say in Hart
ford it was days before Apollo got up
enough nerve to drive back, and only
when the Bald Head club had dis
persed.
From upper floors of the hotel the
panorama looked like a sctting of
eggs. In fact, a farmer’s rig passed
with several crates of hens and the
could be heard clucking clear down
to the depot.
This was the eleventh annual meet
ing of the Bald Heads, organized 11
years ago in Falls Village, Conn., for
no special reason. There was no par
ticular reason why bald-head men
shouldn’t* have a club. Fat men have
them. Thin men have them. Men only
are admitted; men not sensitive about
their baldness, but proud of it. The
naked cranium is reverenced in this
organization. To gain entrance one
must have three bare inches of alope
cia atop his crown, but is not allow
ed to hold office. He has to get the
rim down close to the ears before he
is counted eligible for responsibility.
last year the club was incorporated
under the laws of Connecticut, and
empowered to have state branches
throughout the country. A thriving
branch in Pennsylvania is headed by
Walter Wakeman of Wilkes-Barre.

Disease Finds Ready Aid in Bodies in
Frequent Contact With Oil
LONDON.—Researches on the re
lationship between various paraffin
oils and tars and the occurrence of
cancer are being actively pursued in
many countries. One of the most in
teresting of these is the occurrence of
cancer in the lower part of the hody
in “mule spinners” in the cotton in

These men at frequent intervals
come into contact with.an oily bar of
steel which causes their linen trous
ers to become saturated with heavy
paraffin at a particular spot. At this
spot, sometimes on the rlg}ng and
sometimes on the left, cancer is very
apt to develop. Large numbers of
cancerous tumors have rvccntly.bg'cn
induced to grow in mice by anointing
them with tar. In one French re-|
search no fewer than 500 white mice
were used,

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly

jar of Rowles Menthe-Sulphur from
any good druggist and use it like cold
cream.
