Fanny Ward's Lost Smile
Is Tragedy, French Think
Paris, Sept. 26. Under the head
ing, "The Lost Smile," the austere
and. literary French newspaper, t"Lc
Temps," has devoted a . column, to
the "new face"" df .Fanny Ward,
American cinema actress,
"Knowing from) experience that
wrinkles are glaringly visible in
films," says the Temps, '. severely,
"this martyr to the screen has had
the flesh of her face drawn together
and tightened, thus suppressing the
wrinkles.
"But In suppressing her wrinkles
the beautiful American ! actress has
also suppressed her smile. ,
"Here is a face wln'chcan reflecj
on its limpid mirror astonishment,
passion, anger,, horror and desire,
but which will never again be capa
blc of expressing even the tiniest
'smile. "
"It is a story from the pen of Poe
i in real life. German literature has
already made us familiar with the
man who lost his shadow, butjhow
mediocre Pierre Schlemihl : appears
to us now that we are confronted
with the romance of the woman
has losti her smile I" .
-Jcc Cream Soda Gains x
Popularity in Gay Pare'e
Paris. Sept. 26. After, making a
somewhat disappointing start the ice
cream soda is slowly gaining ground
in Paris in competition with the

' ican alcoholic drinks, ranging from
vermouth chassis to the kick-producing
martini and Jack Rose cock
tails. It is a bit too early to make an
predictions, but it seems likely tha
the number of soda fiends will have
at least tripled before another year
rolls round. For the first time in
history Pris is really taking to the
tall glass of fizz and syrup and seven

Dissatisfaction Is
Main Campaign Issiie,
Says Congressman
Chicago, 111., Sept? 26.- -(Special
Telegram.) "General dissatisfaction
Is the main issue wherever I have
been in this campaign," said Con
gressman Sydney Anderson of
Lanesboro, Minn., who stopped in
Chicago yesfTrday on his way to
take part in .the Indiana campaign.
"As far as I have observed in the
northwest, the league of nations, in
dustrial questions and taxation are
in third place in most politicaislis
cussions. Even the high cost of riving-
Js "regarded as in second place.
The railroads and even prohibition
are in fifth or sixth place. They are
all swallowed rp in the universal
discontent. "
"The people ,a,re so worn out with
the Wilson', administration that they
lump togetfte all the things it has
done and want "to get rid, of tiiem in
a bunch. In Minnesota there is no
democratic party worth mentioning.
Even former democrats do, not want
to makd any argument for their
partf. The whole Cox proposition
seems. dead in Minnesota."
Congressman Anderson predicts
that Minnesota will go by 80,000 to
100,000 for Harding and Coolidge.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Vf Iro,
Marion, O., Sept. 26. Three thou
sand traveling salesmen from east
ern and middl western cities, de
scribing themselves as "Jim Cox's
p.-.rasites and Warren Harding's
commercial ambassadors," gathered
at tlie Harding home Saturday, and
despite the heat of an Indian sum
mer daj-, put on one of the liveliest
demonstrations that lias been staged
here. '
There were Special trains from
New York, with Boston, Philadel
phia, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Cin
cinnati and Minneapolis coaches.
J. P. Kazar of Bloomipgton, 111.,
was the spokesman for the salesmen.
After assuring Senator Harding of
support on election day arid urging
a return to sound business princi
ples in government affairs, he spoke
of two. special things of interest to
salesmen. All persons,, he said, who
buy interchangeable mileage books
and travel, a great deal, should' be
entitled to a reduction ' in . rates.
Traveling salesmen, he said, should
have representation on the Inter
state Commerce commission.
Senator Harding indicated that he
agreed with the special requests by
the' salesmen, particularly repre
sentation on the commission.
"We have been driven toward
chaos, I believe," he said;' "not only
by the unsuccessful attempts to
mortgage American rights. Ameri
can fortunes tnd the American con
science abroad, and to chsck Ameri
can nationality and American honor
at the cloak room of the president's
league of nations in Geneva, 'but
we have been driven toward chaos
at home.
"The people know that when the
war came upon us, American busi
ness was facing disruption, and the
American workingman uhemploy
ment.and that another year of forly
now would mean industrial plants
cold in idleness and laborers walk
ing among them, looking in vain
ior the joy of a day's productive
work.
"We have, as L have said, great
tasks before us,. and my first principle-of
performance in any task
is to summon the best counsel that
can be drawn from any activity or
any captivity or any quarter of
