Troubles of a
John D. Hockefeller, Jr., probably
the richest young man In the world,
arrived In Denver the other day on
Ids way tc the Jtoeky Mountain Na

eluded Mr. and Mrs. Hockefeller. Miss
A buy Hockefeller, the sixteen-year-old
daughter, and the three young
sons. In the Union station n news
paperman took snapshots of the Hock

sued him nnd seized him by the arm.
"Pardon me," said he, "but I'm
Mr. Hockefeller."
"I know It," replied the newspa
per man.
Look here!" cried Mr. Rockefeller,
"you can't use those pictures, You
had no right to take them."
So he multimillionaire nnd the
photographer argued about It.
"You don't understand my troub
les," said Mr. Hockefeller finally. "I'd
be only too glad to trade places with
you."
, "Pine." snld the photographer, proffering his camera. "It's n trade."
Mr. Hockefeller laughed and went on to say: "The average person doesn'
appreciate the problems of a rich man's family affairs. If 1 permitted my chll
dren's pictures to be printed In every paper If would put wrong Ideas In tin
kiddles' bends. They are no better thnn any one's children, and I want tnem 'tc

to the American commission to negotiate peace as chief of the iinnnclal advisers

j Senate Wants to
Senator Pomerene (portrait here
with) of Ohio (Dem.) sponsored the
resolution which was passed during
the last few minutes of congress and
gave extension of the powers of the
committee Investigating campaign ex
penditures. So the committee will be
enabled to throw publicity on the
financial outlay of the presidential can
didates up to election time. The com
mittee will take tip Its labors July
0 -imd continue to Investigate.
The resolution went through on
u flood of oratory and campaign
speeches from both sides of the sen
ate chamber. Two reports were made
on the resolution from the committee
on contingent' expenses. The majority
report signed by Senator f'alder of
New York (Hep.) and Senntor Smoot
of Utah (Hep.) recommended the de
feat of the resolution, while Senator
McKellar of Tennessee (Dem.) In a
minority report urged Its passage.
On top of this It was necessary that unanimous consent for a vole be ob
tained, as a legislative day had not elapsed since the introduction of the reso
lution. Senator Smoot registered objection after a speech by Senator Pomerene.
Senntor Kenyon of Iown (Hep.) and Senator Borah of Idaho (Hep.) urged him
to withdraw his objection. He did so at H:f5S and the resolution was adopted
unanimously just before adjournment at -1 o'clock.
Senator Borah made the point that the questions Involved did not upper
tain to any one party and the man who Interfered with the Investigation wa
a partisan before he was a patriot.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.
The deduction innde by our govern
ment scientists whose mission is to
ligure out Just what
kinds of foods are neces
sary to sustnln the hu
man body. Is flint the
high cost of food Is kill
ing thousands of Ameri
cans nnd undermining
the health of thousands
of others. The rea on
for the casualty lint Is
that the most expensive
foods nre necessary to
sustain the health. Economy and ne
cessity causes housewives to select
the cheaper foods and thereby deprive
tneir families of the Important food
principles.
The disease which Is nrevalent In
undernourished children has made a
great advance In the last few yenrs.
The word "acidosis" Is so new llmt
It is not yet In our dictionary. When
bread and other starchy foods nre con
sumed most extensively, us they nre
In most poor families, they bring on
acidosis. The principal symptom Is
dllllctilty in breathing, as the lungs
are trying to eliminate the excess of
poison.
Such foods as cakes. iiIor. homlnv.
bread, potatoes and hot cakes should
never make up more thnn hnlf the
menu. Young and old should eat fpln
nch, chard cabbage, carrots, lettuce,
turnips, onions, apples, pears, oranges,
grapefruit, and other fruits, as berries.
Where It Is possible to have but a
small garden spot, vegetables of vari
ous kinds may be grown and thus re
duce the cost of living nnd furnish the
family with the needed food. String
beans served with butter, milk, bacon
fat or In salads will furnish food
which contains n right proportion of
the food principles. ,
It Is pleasant to be reminded flint
sugar Is it luxury that could be large
ly eliminated with no bad effects. Now
that summer Is with us, it diet of fresh
vegetables, fruits nnd mill: In plenty
and at regular Interval? will not be
a diet dllllcult to follow.
Adhesive plaster Is n most useful
household remedy for various things
from sore lingers to corns nnd callouses.
CLAD FOR OUTDOOR
AND INDOOR WEAR
T1IH heart of the flapper rejoices
In many smocks, blouses and top
Jackets for outdoor wear, that range
all the way from plain white, with a
little Inconspicuous decoration, to
vivid colors that form backgrounds
for even more vivid cut-out figures
posed against them. Among the lat
ter there ore slip-over smocks, with
fhort kimono sleeves, In heavy cotton
weaves that are shown In orange,
green, rose. blue. With figures cut
from contrasting colors nnd bind; or
colored yarns, their makers use them
hs nn artist might a canvas, posing
brilliant parrots or gaudy flowers on
them. When these figures turn out
unexpectedly to be pockets to every
one's surprise, the Joy of youthful

Materials Lend Themselves Very Satis

Figured foulard blouses are being
shown for spring and summer and
very attractive they are. Figured ma

who wants to make her own blouses,

very well with a lace blouse which
