was graduated from West Point In J880. He became a division engineer of
the canal In 1007 nnd has been governor since 1917.
Thirteen years should linvo made Gen. Harding familiar with tho canal's
needs. These are reported to be many and various.
CShe Is Many Kinds of Woman
m i m i i im . i
Miss Alice Robertson of Muskogee,
representative-elect from the Second
congressional district of Oklahoma,
seems to be more kinds of woman
than you can shake a stick at. She
is CO and more nctivo than many u
girl. She Was bom in Indian territory.
She took nn A. M. degree from Klmlra
college, New York. She has founded
Indian schools and colleges, and has
been teacher, professor and school au
ditor. She Is an expert stenographer.
In the Spanish-American war she
helped recruit the Rough Riders. In
the World war sho was fiead of the
Red Cross canteen service In Mus
kogee. And no soldier ever paid In
the Sawokla (perpetual welcome) cafe
teria, which she owns and in which
she serves the good things she raises
on her farm.
Sho opposed woman suffrage until
Oklahoma granted equal franchise two
years n'go.
Her election cost $2,940. She overcame a Democratic majority of from
4,000 to 0,000. She made no speeches. Her campaign was made through ad
vertisements In the "Want Ads" of the newspapers.
Miss Robertson was a delegate to the Lake Mohonk Indian conference In
1891 nnd made an address that so Impressed Theodore Roosevelt that 12
years Inter he appointed her postmaster of Muskogee, the llrst woman to have
charge of a first-class postoillce. After nine years of service the Democratic
administration turned her out.
Among her ancestors are John WInthrop and Timothy Edwnrds, father
of Jonnthan Edwards. Her family has given 140 yenrs to missionary work
among the Indians. The Rev. W. S. Robertson, an ancestor, translated the
Bible into Cherokee ; her mother, Mrs. A. E. W. Robertson, translated It Into
Creek.
Battling Nelson at It Again
nls father's death he deeded it over to him merely that the elder man might
conserve It for him.
The father's will bequeaths the estate back to the fighter. Woods and
the brothers and sister, however, are seeking to break the will, Battling
Nelson claims.
And thus endeth the widely-circulated tale of recent dato that Bat was
down nnd out financially, owing to his excessive and Ill-advised liberality to
needy friends.
Bat always mixed brains with his wallops.
Cummins and Anti-Strike Laws
The voters have given to tho gov
ernment an Imperative mandate In fa-
vor of antl-strlke legislation, In the
opinion of Chairman A. B. Cummins
of the senate Interstate commerce
committee, who has returned to Wash
ington after the bitterest political tight
of his enreer.
Legislation which will make rail
road strikes, with their threat of
starvation nnd freezing for the big
cities, illegal will bo pressed by Mr.
Cummins, and he expects Its passage.
Mr. Cummins fought last session for
the Inclusion of nn antl-strlke provi
sion In the Cummlns-Esch bill. He
won his light In the sennte, but In tho
house tho antl-strlke provision with
teeth wns eliminated, a mild, tooth
less nffalr being left.
Curiously enough, Representative
Esch. chalrmnn of the house commit
tee, opposed the vigorous senate provi-
alnn 1i,t nwnnlnnt1 lillini hlnilliwl llltll
film, win ui ,iiiiiri ii .ii.fw. .... i.
Just as much as Cummins, nnd centered Its fight ,n the two. Esch went down
in the primary, but Cummins won n brilliant victory In the primary, and then
was elected, over Clnudo Porter, by a two to one vote In the general election.
in Canal Zone
Brig. Ucn. Chester Harding wns
er olllclo the host of President-elect
Warren G. Harding on the occasion of
the latter's visit to the Panama canal,
owing to tho fuct that the former is
governor of the Canal Zone. Evident
ly the party from "The States" had a
good time. Tho President-elect wore
u $15 Palm Beach suit, enjoyed nt
least one quiet, home dinner In the
governor's house, played golf and saw
the great canal under the most favor
able conditions.
Of course, there is more than mere
rest and sightseeing to the Panama
Zone trip. The President-elect wants
to know the cunal conditions at first
hand. The question of the payment
of tolls by American vessels Is slated
to come up early In his administra
tion. So far as known, the two Hard
ings are not related. The governor
was born In Mississippi In 18C0 and
Oscar (Battling) Nelson, former
lightweight boxing champion of tho
world, Is In the ring again, this time
In n court battle against his four
brothers and one sister. Property In
Hegewlsch, 111., valued at $150,000, Is
the prize at stake.
Battling Nelson has filed n peti
tion for an injunction in the Superior
court asking that his brothers and
sister they nil live In the West bo
restrained from Interfering with his
management of the property. He nsks
a similar injunction against Robert
E. L. Woods, who became administra
tor of the property when Nelson's
father, Nells Nellsen of Hegewlsch,
died last year.
Bat contends the property wns
not his father's, and hence the other
sons nnd daughters have no legal claim
to u division of It now. He avers that
he, Battling Nelson, really owns the
property and thnt several years before
EVERY young woman likes to feel,
onco In a while nt least, thnt she
looks really regal; that, If fate had
made her n quceu, she could look the
part. Huppy therefore Is the posses
sor of n regal evening coat with which
she can reinforce whntevcr talent sho
may possess for queenshlp.
Evening wraps enfold tho figure
whatever lines they follow, nnd ev
erything about them Is ample. The
cout at the left of the two shown
above has "long, wide sleeves, plenty
of fullness In tho body nnd n deep
capo collar of white fur. It Is made
of one of the shnggy, silky materials
yhlch the manufacturers of woven
furs have turned out, showing what
the looms can do when they work In
dependently of lmltntions. Imagine
Knickers and
IT IS not unlikely thnt knickerbock
ers and pettibockers ultimately
will replace petticoats for wear with
street dress, and there are several first
rate reasons why they should. They
allow greater freedom In walking, gath
er lesB dust, wear longer, and petti
bockers mny bo adjusted to nult any
length of skirt. Both these very prac
tical garments will be featured In
tho annunl dlsplnys of underthlngs
ns soon as Chrlstmns shopping Is over.
Besides being practical they hnvo been
made up attractively, many of them
In rather heavy wash satin nnd silks.
In bright colors for the knickers, nnd
In dnrker Rhndes for tho pettibockers.
All are adjusted about the waist by an
elastic band run In n casing, or hem,
nt the top, and elastic bands confine
them below tho knees wo that there are
no buttons nnd buttonholes or draw
Rtrluirs in them.

heavy rose-colored satin.
Black panne velvet, with bands of
black and silver broende, make tho
hnndsome companion wrap with Its
dolman sleeves that could not be more
capacious, and Its capo collar of mar
ten fur. There nro bands of marten
also about tho sleeves, this sumptuouB
fur matching up with tho rich fabrics
used, and a lining of plain heavy sntln,
tho color depending upon tho tnsto
of tho wearer, which might well con
sider either black or silver gray as n
foil for brilliant gowns. Black nnd
silver Is a favorite combination for
evening wraps, but the choice of color
Is wide. Vivid .greens, rich hennn
tones turquoise nnd rose, all havo
admirers.
Pettibockers
The sumo cllks used for petticoats
make pettibockers llko those shown
In the picture. The addition of one
wide flounce or several nnrrower ones,
thnt cover the legs below tho knees,
transforms knickerbockers Into petti
bockern, nnd these flounces give tho
effect of a petticoat In walking. Tho
flounces are usually knife-plaited and
silk with stripes or bars In bright col
ors Is used for making them.
By contrnst with undermusllns.
knickerbockers are very plain, being
innocent or luce or tucks or embroi
deries; hut make up for this luck of
ormunentntlon by their pretty nnd
vivid colors, of which pink, turquoise,
tan, blue and flesh, are favorites.

CASSOWARY'S 1021 PLANS.
"Tho cnssownrlcs," said daddy, "are
very largo birds. Thoy are not near
ly as large ns the oalrlch family and
not even ns largo ns the emus, but
they're only a little bit smaller than
tho emus.
"They hnve purple and black plum
age on their bodies and little helmets
of purple colors on their heads, while
on their necks they hnvo bright
orange colors.
"Sometimes they havo blue ncck
with red spots and they wear some
thing like a little red necktie hanging
down In front.
"'My friends,' said Mr. Cassowary
In tho zoo, 'I have something to say to
you nil.' The emus and the ostriches
and tho curnssows who happened to
be around, nil looked nt Mr. Casso
wary nnd said: 'Is what you have to
tell us worth hearing?'
'"Thnt, said Mr. Cassowary, Ms
what I call a most unintelligent ques
tion. The very Idea of asking me If
what I have to tell you Is worth hear
ing! The very Ident Of course one
knows tho ostrich family haven't
much to boast of In the way of brains,
but I would think they would know
more thnn that. , (
'"Yes, I would think so. But It
seems my neighbors are all "stupid.
All very stupid.
" 'The very Idea of asking me if
what I havo to say Is worth 1'icnrlng 1
Do you suppose I would reply anything
elso but yes?
" 'Could I sny anything else but yes
nnd bo fnlr to myself? I don't see
how I could nnd I don't believe nny
other creature could see how I couldr
cither.
"'Well, if you woro sensible yoir
would nsk someone else If whut I wns
going to sny would bo worth hearing.'
'"How could unyone elso know but
yourself what you wore going to
gay?' asked tho ostrich. 'Unless,' he
added, 'you had told tlicm before
hand.' " 'Dear me, dear me,' said tho casso
wary, 'tho brains of some people are-
"The Very Ideal"
very poor, very miserably poor! It's
a shame, but it can't be helped.'
"'Don't worry about our brains,'
said the ostrich, 'for wo nro quite hap
py as wo are.' .
" 'What did you mean by saying the
last speech of Mr. Ostrich's was so
foolish?' asked Mr. Emu. 'I do not
see myself how nny other creature
but yourself would know whether
whnt you were going to suy was worth
hearing or not unless they had heard
what you were going to soy before
hand. I can't sea nt all.'
" 'That,' said Mr. Cassowary, Mb Blm
plo enough to explain. I mean that
I do not see how nny othor creature
could Bay that I could answer your
question In nny othor way than In the.
t ,n,i Tmt Is what I mean
Any other creature would understand5
I must admit thnt what I was going'
to say would ho worth hearing or, I
would not bo fair to myself.
" 'I didn't mean that any other crea
ture would say that whnt I wns go
ing to say was worth hearing.'
"'Well, what were you going te
say?" asked Mr. Ostrich. 'I'm wenry
of nil this talk about nothing.'
" 'I wus going to say,' said Mr. Cus
Bowury, 'that I havo a nice under
claw which Is a weapon to me when
I nm frco nnd when there Is danger.
"'It Is my protection. And I put
my head under my quills llko a baby
would do.'
" 'Hns a baby quills?' asked Mr. Os
trich. 'That's news to me.'
" 'I guess that would be news to any
one,' said Mr. Cussowury. 'I meant I
put my heud under my quills ns a
buby would do If a baby had quills.
"'And what I really mean Is, that
I do ns tho little birds do and tho
young birds and sleep In a baby fash
ionthough for that matter tho old
birds do tho same.
" 'But I say as long as New Year's
Is coming, or rathor a new year, we
should all plan to do great things
during the coming year,
"And wo needn't worry about
whether wo do them or not, for tho
mnln thing to do Is to plan thut 1b
It Is tho main thing to do as far ns I
can see and I've good cassowary eye
sight.' " 'A ridiculous talk,' tho others said,
'for a creature who pretends thut ho
Is smart.'"
