i (lharles G. Dawes Secures Position He Did Not Seek New Vice President Planned to Return to Private Life on Return From Europe. B.t Anmlalnl Pr«u. Chicago, Nov. Charles G. Dawes <-n next March 4 will assume an office Which he originally did not seek nn,i which if Offered him six months ago he almost certainly would have declined. This statement was made today by some of those closest to the vice president-elect and by those who know the inside story of how the banker, soldier, business man, philan thropist and economist has come to the place where after next March 4 lie will he second only to the presi dent. Six months ago Mr. Dawes re a turned from Europe after serving as ■ head of the experts' committee of the reparation cotnipission, -which had worked out a plan for the economic rehabilitation of Europe. It was his third period of public service after having been comptroller of the cur rency under President McKinley and director of the budget under Presi dent Harding. Rack to Private I.ife. Mr. Dawes, accordingly, set about arranging his affairs so as to spend the rest of his life as a private clti sen, devoting his time to his banking and business interests and to the life of a wealthy man who loves music, art and books and whose name is connected with a number of charit able or near-charitable enterprises. Then the republican national con vention came along and got Itself into a snarl over the selection of a running mate for President Coolidge. Mr. Dawes was down at Marietta, O., at tending a reunion of his college class an* little interested in the events at Cleveland. Conferences among party leaders at the convention having pro duced no unanimity of opinion as to the vice presidential nominee, the convention took things into its own hands and nominated former Gov ernor I.owden of Illinois. Mr. how dsn promptly declined the honor and the name of Dawes, already men tioned and before the convention with the support of New Jersey and Nebraska, was brought forward. Some doubt existed as to whether P Mr. Dawes would take the nomina lion and some opposition arose to his selection. He was told of the move that was taking form and of the op position and indicated he would no cept. The convention thereupon over the opposition of some of its leaders turned to Dawes. Opposition Settled Question. Those close to him in Chicago do elare It was this opposition that caused him to consent to serious use of his name and and that the prospei t of a fight made him want the nonil nation. The vice presidency doesn't offer much in the way of a fight and that is why that office, his friends assert, did not and does not appeal directly to him as an official position. The feeling of Mr. Dawes Is not alone his, but is shared by the other members of his family to a certain extent. When the tide of votes for . ihe republican national ticket set In Tuesday night Mrs. Dawes turned to a friend in answer to a question as to going to Washington and said: "Washington won’t be entirely strange, for we have lived there. But this is home and we have so many friends here we shall regret to leave if only for a time." » Virginia, Ihe 10-year-old adopted daughter, made no secret of her de sire to remain In Evanston with her girl friends and among the children she knows. As for Dana, the 12 vear-old — sdopted son. he has been indifferent He accepts it as the average bov ac cepts a change—just a part of the day's life. If Air. Dawes has given sny thought to what he will do after his four-year term as vice president he hay not disclosed It to his most in timate associates. Two Women Injured in Collision of Auto Columbus.

The Great Dane la Miss Olga Pe trova's Idea of a pet; the Pekinese holds a warm epot In the heart of Jtiss Elsie Janls. The Great Dune, atilt just a pup pie, weighs around 100 pounds; the Pekinese, of doubtful age, weighs about a pound and a half. All of which may seem to have nothing to do with interviewing the two stage stars; unless one is will ing to believe that one's character is indicated by one's choice in dogs. With quick but long strides Miss Petrova entered the room. She greeted the Interviewer with a strong handclasp and what seemed to be genuine good feeling. Shades In the room had been drawn against the strong morning light. Heavily shaded lamps had been substituted for the regular ho tel lighting equipment. A luxurious sable coat was spread out on a chaise longue. On a table lay a long whip, and beside It several books, In cluding “The I-Atus Woman" by Nathan Gallizler, and “The Thirty six Dramatic Situations'' by George Poltl. Greets Morning Visitor. After greeting her early morning visitor, (It was about noon) Miss Petrova's cue was undoubtedly to sink tnlo a chair to be Interviewed. But instead she flopped into a chair and began talking. “I'm not a great actress,” she an nouneed. “Praise means nothing to me, except that It gives me a sensa tion of happiness. I Jure undergone too many failures to fcke praise too seriously. No woman, I believe, has ever experienced more vicissitudes. T have been hooted, and pelted with tomatoes. “No, I am not disillusioned. I simply have no illusions. Of course I want happiness. It means every thing to me. But I believe I am harder to hurt because I rub against the realistic aide of life. Desire for Freedom. *‘I was born In Warsaw. My father was English; my mother Polish.

I believe I was the only woman doing that sort of newspaper work 1n I,on don, but it helped me. It also taught me to get along on little money, for I was paid only a pound a week. “Then I began to think, and I still think,’that my work Is writing. Divorce Awarded Wife of John L.

Shades were not drawn in the living room of her suite; but although It was long past noon It was still early to her. Shp appeared In dress ing gown and Clippers, revealing a tiny strip of stockingless ankles. Her maid proceeded to serve tea, which Miss Janis preferred to drink sitting on the floor in the rays of I lie bright November sun. ",Don't think I'm not afraid of the morning light," she observed, "it Just happens that the shades are up, that’.-! all." Thereupon, Miss Janis -took a long sip of tea and appeared greatly re freshed. She conversed in French with her maid, explaining in detail just Wily it was impossible for her to wait until after 1 p. m. for lunch eon, inasmuch as thus far there had been no breakfast. “I love vaudeville," she volunteered "And I don t mind working three shows on election day, either, a! though mother thinks its a terrible Imposition."

Thrifty Chatterer Works Hard Antumn Is a busy time for most of the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. There are a few who are. not particularly busy, but only a few. Peter Itabbit is one of them. His cousin, Jumper the Hare, la another. ‘‘What’s the use of working when there |s so much fun to be had In stead?'' said Peter as he watched some of his busy neighbors.. Little Striped Chipmunk, with the pockels In his cheeks full of seeds, so that he looked as If he had the mumps, overheard Peter. "Fun!” he mumbled, "Fun! Why, you don’t know what fun is, Peter Rabbit. The greatest fun In the world la In doing things worth while. No other fun can he compared with this. I.earn how to work, Peter, and you will learn how to have real fnn.” Peter lazily scratched a long ear wlth a long hind foot. "It makes me positively ‘tired Just to watch you fellows running your legs off to get food that you don't need now," said Peter. Chatterer the Red Squirrel heard this. "Don't watch us, then, you long legged bunch of laziness.’’ he barked. "And remember, refer Rabbit, that It is a whole lot better to run our legs off now while there Is something to be gained than to run them **f by and by trying to find enough food to keep alive. That is what you will be doing In the winter.” "POuh!'’ said Peter. "The present is good enough for me. I never worry about the future." "No, you do your worrying when (he future becomes the present." ie torted chatterer. "But I can t afford to waste my time talking to you. Mushrooms don t last long, and I must get them while I can." "Mushrooms!” exclaimed Peter. "Mushrooms! Do you eat mush rooms?” But Chatterer was already out of sight. Peter could hear him scur rying about In the dry leaves Just as he had heard him many, many times at this season of the year, He had nlways supposed that Chatterer was looking for nuts or acorns or pine seeds. "VVhat could Chatterer have meant by what he said shout . - "Fun? Why you don't know what fun Is, I’rlrr Kahhlt." mushrooms. Could H he that Chatter •r really ale mushrooms? feter aoftly stole over toward where he heard Chatterer scurrying about. From behind a tree |i« watrh ed Chatterer, Chatterer found a mush room.

Chatterer moves so quickly that, he has a way of illsnp penring under your very eyes "Now where mn he be taking that to?” thought Peter. "X don't see how ha can store mushrooms away. They would spoil. They don't last long any way." .lust llibn Chatterer reappeared. Ha found another mushroom end nway he went with that. Peter grew more end more Interested.

Washington, Nov. <!—In the wake of an election which lias brought about a new alignment In the reign ing republican party, and put Calvin Coolidge in the White House for four years by overwhelming popular man date, rfliere followed today a train of discussion not alone among the presi dent's friends but among his oppon ents as well, as to the course of ac tion that will mark his policies In the more or less difficult months ahead. Politics, so far ns Mr. Coolidge Is concerned, can now he put on the shelf for a long time, lie need make no appointments to office, nor take ar.y executive action, as president1! sometimes must, with an eye to the effect It will have on his party's po lit lea 1 fortunes. He Is now flr.'sldent In his own right, and president no longer by th hand of a whimsical fate that re moved his predciessor from office. Jn a similar situation, In 1904, The.) ticre Roosevelt Is said to have re marked to Mrs. Roosevelt, "Madame, your husband Is no longer a political accident." And to some friends, m Is reported to have said: “Now watcl me." There followed some sanguine..\ battles between T. R. and the eenMc cld guard. Extreme, rectitude ha« thus far nr a iked Mr. Coolldge's demeanor toward congress. He has, during lile year and a half, attempted no "big st'ek" methods. One reason perlin,)« was that republican control of con giess was only on paper. He "pushed" the Mellon plan, he vetoed the bonus and the postal pay Increa.*-1 bill, but In ao doing he did not "fight" congress In the sense that Roosevelt, did. For the next three months, the president wilt have to deal with the same recalcitrant congress that has fought him and administration policies generally throughout his tenure of office. Little can be expected of It ex cept the passage of the usual ap propriation bills before It dies na turally the fourth of March next.
