Harding May Drop Plans for Return Trip by Railway President Considering Making Journey From Alaska by Water—-Would Add Some Time to Itinerary. By Universal Seri lee. Washington, May 9.—Indication* became stronger today that President Harding may abandon the contem plated swing hack across the conti nent on his return from Alaska and make the homeward voyage nil the way by water.' It is known that some of Ilia poli tical advisers have urged that lie adopt this 'plan. Secretary of the Navy Denhy also lias joined in press ing the suggestion. Secretary Denhy has assured the president on two visits to tho White House that he could have one of the new light cruisers, either the Detroit or the Omaha, ready to bring him back. Should the president determine to come hack by water he would make only about 10 speeches going west. The points at which it Is practically certain he will speak, although no definite program ns yet has been worked out, are at. I.ouis, Kansas <'ity, Topeka or Des Moines Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San A1 > V K RTIS10M ENT. SORE; TIRED FEET • ________ Just take your shoes off and then j nut those weary, shoe-crinkled, ach ing, burning, corn-pestered, bunion ^ tortured feet of yours in a "TIZ” j bath. Your toes will wriggle with , joy; they'll look up at you and al most talk and then they'll take an- j other dive in that "TIZ” bath. When yotir feet feel like lumps of ; lead—all tired out—just try "TJZ.” [ It’s grand—it's glorious. Your feet | will dance with Joy; also you will I find all pain gone from corns, cal louses and bunions. There’s nothing like “TIZ.” It’s the j only remedy that draws out all the ' poisonous exudations which puff up your feet and cause foot torture. A few* centij buys a box of "TIZ” at any drug or department store— don’t wait. Ah. how glad your feet get; how comfortable your shoes f> el. Francisco and Portland. It* also is expected that he will stop at Seattle on the way back front Alaska. The all-water voyage home would add two or three weeks to the length of the president's absence from Washington, depending upon the number of stops Jie would make. Sec retary Dcnhy wants him to visit the Panama canal zone, the Virgin is lands a ad Porto Rico. This itinerary would keep hint on American terri tory throughout. Under the tentative plans for the trip, the start from Washington would be made between June 20 and 25. The Fourth of July would be spent in Portland, sailing tile next day for Alaska.

Children do not know when to stop. Impelled by an almost boundless en ergy, they keep on with the job they are interested in until exhaustion overtakes them and they begin to cry. Then It Is difficult to manage them. \ 'Mama, mama, hoo-hoo-hoo. .Ma ma.'" “What is it?" “Ma ma, ma-a-a-a." "What IS it? What ails you? What do you want?" "Ma-a-u-." "Now you stop this right away. Come itr ami have your face washed and get ready for supper. Not an other whimper out of you now. I’ve got no time. Stop it, I tell you?’ That's just a tired child and a dis tracted mother who has made no al lowance for this performance, in her day's schedule. Now she is con fronted by it at the busiest hour of the day, just before the evening meal. if she provides against this evil hour by guarding the /child's energy, things will lie easier. He should be called from his play before he is worn out; some!lines 15 tninutes before the last minute he can stay, sometimes longer, depending on the iwnM. Of eourse he will protest loudly and in all likelihood raise his voice in lamentation, but the tone will be one of lusty opposition atnf not the wall I of fatigue. lie will know what he wants and tell it to the world. Make him come right along and get himself freshened up for his supper. Ho will soon get the habit of hav ing a quiet period before his meal and in any case he will he easier to handle. At least he will- come when he is called and submit with what grace he can muster. I doubt that any child ever leaves his play willingly. Kven when he is so tired that he staggers on his feet, he will keep on until strength fails him utterly and the tears come. That must not happen. When he comes in so tired as that, he is In no condition to be talked to and r et he seems to demand much speech. Much speech! And he is In no condition to be fed. He is too tired to digest his food and If he eats it more trouble is due everybody concerned. A child suffer ing with Indigestion at the end of the day’s work is about the last straw! So if the mother Is busy (and motherhood is synonymous with busyness) it would lie well to set the alarm clock to call the youngsters In from play before fatigue catches them. Save a quarter of an hour for straightening them out anil then go on from there. It woulii eliminate that awful "Ma-a-a," that note of misery that finds Its echo in so many households toward evening.

After a year and a half togrther. she goes to China, where her younger sister, Caroline, a missionary, Is ill. t latitle goes to officers' training camp and is commissioned a lieutenant. While at - ft tiding a small denominational college in Lincoln he became a friend of the Erlich family, a motherly widow and her live sona. Claude Inis friends in Ernest lintel anti Leonard Haw sou. young N>bra*ku farmers and neighbors of the Wheeler family. He hint an elder brother, Bavllss, In business In Frankfort, his ftilltrr, Nat, anil a younger brother, Kttlph. Ills mother Is prldrful of her sons. While home on leave from camp Claude finds he loves t.ladys Farmer high school friend of his wife. Claude leaves with Ills eumpuny for Europe. On hoard the trana inirt he makes friends with Victor Morse, an aviator; Allirrt I sher. young marine fiom Wyoming; Private Hert Fuller, u Virginia soldier, and Corporal Tannhauser and Lieut. Fanning. An epidemic of "flu" breaks nut on shipboard ahd Claude is kept busy curing for the sick. Claude wondered how the doctor kept going. He knew he hadn’t had more than four houra Bleep out of the loBt 48, and he was not a man of rugged constitution. Hitt bath stew ard waa, as he said, his comfort. HawkinB was an old fellow who had held better positions on better boats, yes, in better times, too. He had first gone to sea as a bath steward, and now, through the fortunes of war, he had come back where be began, not a good place for an old man. His back was bent meekly, ami he shuf fled along with broken arches. Ho looked after the comfort of all the oflioern, and attended the doctor like a valet; got out his clean linen, per suaded him to lie down and have a hot drink after his bath, stood on i guard at. his door to lake messages for him in the short hours when he; waa resting. Hawkins had lost two1 sons In the war and he seemed to i find a solemn consolation in being of service to soldiers. "Take it a bit1 easy now, sir. You’ll ave it ’ard enough over there," he used to say to one and another. At 11 o'clock one of the Kansas men came to tell Claude that his corporal was going fast. Big Tann hauser's fever had left him. but so had everything else. He lay in a stupor. His congested eyeballs were rolled back in his head and only the yellowish whites were visible. HI* I mouth was open and his tungue hung1 out at one side. From the end of the! corridor Claude had heard the fright-, ful sounds that came from his throat, I sounds like violent vomiting, or the1 choking rattle of a man in strangula tion, and, indeed, he was being strangled. One of the band boys brought Claude a camp chair and said kindly. "He doesn't suffer. It’s me chanical now. He'd go easier if he hadn't so much .vitality. The doctor1 -ays be may have a few moments of consciousness just at the last, if you want to stay." “I’ll go down and give my private patient his egg, and then I'll come back." Claude went away and re turned, atul rat dozing by the bed. After 3 o'clock the noise of struggle ceased; instantly the huge figure on the bed became again his good ma tured corporal. Tlie mouth closed, the glassy jellies were i/rioe more see ing. intelligent human eyes. Tbo face lost its swollen, brutish look and was again \he face of a friend. It was almost unbelievable that any thing so far gonfi could come back. He looked up wistfully at his lieu tenant as if to ask him something. His eyes filled with tears, and he turned his head away a little., “Mein' arme Mutter!" he whispered distinctly. A few moments later he died in per fect dignity, not struggling under torture, but consciously it seemed to Claude, like a brave boy giving back what was not his to keep Claude returned to his cabin, roused Fanning once more, and then threw himself upon his tipping bunk. Tlie boat seemed to wallow and sprawl in the waves, ns be had seen animals do on the farm whi n ^hey gave birth to young. How helpless the old vessel was out here in the pounding seas, and how much misery she carried! He lay looking up at the rusty water pipes and unpainted joinings. This liner was In truth the “Old Anehises;’’ even the carpenters who made her over for the servce lmd not thought her worth the trouble, and had done their worst by her. The new partitions were hung to tlie joists by a few nails. Big Tannhauser had‘been one of those who were most anxious to sail, lie used to grin and say, "France Is tlie only climate that's healthy for a man with a name like mine." He had waved his good-bye to tlie. image in tlie New York harbor with the rest, believed In her like the res*. He only wanted to serve. It seemed hard. When Tannhauser first i une to camp he was confused all the time,' and couldn't remember Instructions, i Claude had once stepped him out in front of the line and reprimand. 1 him for not knowing his right side from his left. When he looked into the case, he found that the fellow ’ was not eating anything, that he was 11! from homesickness. He was one of those farmer boys who are afraid of tow n. The giant baby of a long family, he had never slept away from home a night in his life before he enlisted. Corporal Tannhauser, along with four others, was burled at sunrise No band this time; the chaplain was ill. so one of the young captains read the service. Claude stood by watch ing Until the sailors shot one sack, longer by half a foot than the oth. . four, into a lead-colored chasm tn the sea. There was not even a spk.sh After breakfast one of thr- Kansas orderlies called him into a little cabin where they liad prepared the dead men for burial. The army regula tions minutely defined what was to l> done with a defense® soioicr * eueots. His uniform, shoes, blankets, onus, personal baggage, were all disposed of according to Instructions. But In each case there was a residue; the dead man's toothbrushes his razors, and the photographs lie carried upon ills person. There they were in live pathetic little heaps; what should be done with them? Claude took up tho photographs that had belonged to his corporal: one was a fst. foolish looking girl In a white dress that was too tight for her, ami a floppy hat, a llltle (lag plumd on her plump bosom. The other was an old woman, seated, her hands crossed In her lap Her thin hair was drawn back tight from a hard, angular fine—unmistakably an old-, world fnei—and her eves -enninted at the camera. She looked honest and stubborn and unconvinced, ho thought. Time .to Re-tire? | i8». r..k) ilttl J « ft Ht *»* FOR SALE BY DON HAVLU, 5816 Weat Center St. PETERSON-MILLARD CO, 27th and Farnam St*.
