When his attention was called to '.he statement of Chairman Georfra .White of the democratic national committee in New York Wednes day, the governor declined to make any comment or to signify his ap proval or disapproval in any way. Mr. White said Governor Cox was not a "beer and light wine candi date," but a "hw enforcement candi date" and that th wets could inter pret that r. any way they chose. -Wet Don't Like It Word reached Columbus todav that "Mr. White's statement had caused considerable discontent among the governor's wet support ers, who thought it would seriously impair his chances of success in the large thirst areas of the coun try. Once before -when White told the country that the league of nations would not be the chief issue of the campaign it was made known that the governor had , not authorized any such statement and the gover nor qtjckl repudiated it in his ac ceptance addrefs. But if he felt any dissatisfaction over White's statement on the alcohol question, he vas careful to permit no evidence of it to leak out.

"God gave me my reputation and I in tend to continue to give God my services,"; declared Rev. Billy Sunday today in explaining why t he turned down a guarantee of $1,000,000 a year as a movie star.

I Teach a Stenographer That Looks . Count. I'm about as familiar with atype writer as I am wth a wireless tele phone and it's a sad but true fact that "I .wouldn't now a page of shorthand from a Chinese laundry sign. But, just the same, I'm not such a frost when it comes to of ferin' the postgraduate course to shipwrecked stenogs. Yesterday about closin' time, Katie ushers in the most unallurin' female of the species. But when I get right down to facts and take inventory she isn't such a homely party after all. In fact she's got the features. Suddenly I understand what the blight is: the awful clothes she's draped in a durable, mud-colored dress and a weather-proof hat that would haye been a liability to Venus herself!. She looks like Weary Willie's twin sister all dressed up for a mushroom hunt. "In trouble,' girlie?" I ask by way of openin' conversation. She, nods her head to prove I'm a good- guesser and starts the weep in' act. Sounds of sniffling fill the atmosphere of my peaceful home. "Love worries?" I suggest. Headnods in the negative and more sniffles. "Business Troubles." "Yes," she sobs. "I'm out of a lK . . . . ... . .. .'

I was one, of the first ten recommended in my class for vacancies.) They got me a good job, but" conversation again blocked by the weeps. But you lost it in record time, I finish. "Yes." she admits, "when they cut down the office force I was the first to go." "Got vour walkin paper before you could show them how valuable you were! Pretty raw. What next?" "I went back to the business school and asked for another place ment. They got me a hew position and gave mc a No. 1 recommenda tion. ' "And job number two dies a natur al death also?" I venture. "Yes." she savs. "it did.NAfter that 1 hadn't the nerve to go back to headquarters and tell them I had failel again." , .

"I've walked the ' streets till my shoe leather is wcarnig out, And it's the same old story at every office where I answer an ad: Tliey's just em ployed a stenographer!' And gen erally," she says, fierce enough, "I know they are lying!" "I shouldn't wonder, girlie," I says, kind but true, "such tilings happen in the best regufated offices." "Then readmy future," she begs, "and tell me what's in store for me." "No, girlie," I says, to her wer lastin' surprise. "I'm not tellin' for tunes today What1 you need is a little common sense talk and you're going to get it right now. Prepare forthe personal inquiries: "Question, number one; do you consider yourself a good stenog rapher?" 1 I do," she announces. "I take dictation rapidly and I'm quick on the keys. I'm careful and a good speller." "Some actomplishments!" I says. "Question number two; who dis charged you from .your two posi tions, and who refused you jobs all week men or women?" - "Why, men, in every case," she says- lookin' surprised. . Sizes Up Purse. "Very well," I proceed. "Question number three; how much jnoney have you got put away?" "One hundred and seventy-five dollars," she says sort of nervous, "and I'm saving every cent of it for a rainy day." "Exactly,'- I says, pdeasantly. "And the rainy -day has come. It's my duty to tell you that you're a frump." "A WHAT?" she stutters, not bc lievin' her ears. . "A frump 1" I repeat. "Capital F-r-u-m-p; meaning, according to my dictionary, a lady dressed like a comic valentine! Your clothes are the most unpleasant bunch of duds I've ever seen hitched together." I see she's getting excited, but I motion her to keep quiet. "Do you know why you lost your two jobs, and -why you can't land another one?' Simply because the men don't like your looks.

Big Crops May Bring Drop in Living Prices Washington, Aug. 14. Crop re ports indicate somewhat lower prices for foodstuffs, according to the monthly bulletin of the United States Chamber of Commerce com mittee on statistics and standards toirght. "Unless experience be misleading, the new purchasing power of the railroads will be a strong factor in maintaining both prices and the volume of business," the bulletin states, in commenting on the recent rate increases. The automobile industry, the bul letin adds, "gives indications of ap proaching the peak of production for the present," while building operations are hampered by high prices of materialj and labor to the point where "only the most impera tively necessary construction can and will proceed."
