mony! By Mary Milfj Minter.'
Sincerely and I wfll put that at
the top because my signature fioes
there the unfounded reports her
alding my supposed engagement and
approaching marriage have caused
me a great deal of distress). Par
ticularly, regarding an elopement,
for nothing is further from my
thoughts. In (act. at the time I was
supposed to be "eloping" .J was hard
ui worx in a nig picture suiniu.
Must Inspire Love.
In the first place I have the very
highest ideals of marriage. In
choosing the man I will he in
fluenced by no consideration except
his manly qualities, his love for me
' and his ability to inspire my respect
and love. Then I shall announce
my engagement at once and with
all the pride and joy that I shall cer
tainly feel, unless for some good
reason there will be an engagement
period long enough for all my
friends to know of and, I hope, ap
prove my choice.
I expect to wed some time, but it
will be deliberately and with an
earnest belief in the responsibility as
well as the beauty of the marriage
relation.
Marriage is a career in itself, and
I assure my public that I look upon
it with the same seriousness that I
feel concerning my present career.
For the present, however, I am
fully occupied with trying to do in
motion pictures the best work of
which I am capable. I am very
happy with my mother, sister and
srandmother and in making plans
for the home, which shall be the cm
bodyment of my dreams.
Of course, I have many boy and
men friends of whom I am very
fond but I am not thinking of mar
riige'as yet. , u ' f
When love comes to my heart I
believe I shall know it. Until then
I have plenty to keep me busy, and
lo be busy at the woHc of one's
choice I feel is happiness.
Marriage Is Career, .

.Thousands Attend
Harding Reception
(Continued From Pat One.)
dren, of whom there were many,
were given special attention.
"Hello, dearie," the president said
to one tot who was vpassing on a
paternal shoulder.
The nexb moment the' flickering
line disclosed four small negroes
marshaled ahead of their mother.
"Why, look who's here," the pres
ident exclaimed as he bent over and
smiled at the flashing teeth and roll
ing eyeballs. "How are you, young
;'stersi" '
Mrs. Harding smiled and added a
pleasant word here and there while
.she quickly developed, an efficient
swing of right arm and shoulder
which,, stood the strain as .well as
the president's golf-devcloped mus
cles. "
Line Passes Quickly.
The people passed quickly and in
perfect order through the east room
and thence to the street.
Only occasionally did the president
discover a personal acquaintance in
the throng, one being Urbain
Ledoiix, whose activities in connec
tion with unemployment and other
activities have been frequently npted.
To him the president gave a cheery
greeting.
As the line ran out to extinction
Mrs. Harding beckoned forward the
newspaper correspondents, greeting
them cheerfully but announcing -she
was "ready to go home."
The White House reception was
not the only one held here today.
When the president received the
public, the vice president and Mrs.
Coolidge were at home to several
hundred guests, while cabinet of
ficials were a hame to their official
associates and friends. ,
Secretary and Mrs. Hughes gave
a breakfast to the diplomatic corps
at the pan-American Union building,
while Secretaries Weeks, Denby,
Wallace and . Hoover received .at
their homes.

German Admiral, Von
Crapow.'
lkrliii, J.n. 2. (By A. t)
" Trance wants t ubmarincs and a big
fleet to protect its ca bacs and .to
enable the transportation of African
black troops to I'urope in the event
of another war," was the opinion ex-,
pressed by Admiral Van lirapow in
dicnsing the Washington confer
ence and "French misrepresentation."
The admiral expressed the belief
that if the French arguments for
submarines were answered with a
provision forbidding the use of col
ored troops on European battlefields,
France's demands would prove "o
palpably absurd as to fall to nieces,
leaving it dependent on defensive
weapons." Unless France is pacified
he saw the complete failure of the
Washington conference, for he be
lieved Italy and Japan would insist
on their contentions as long as
France held out.

M. Briand, the French premier, was
deliberately misrepresent)'!),; the lit
nation, unU1 he "essayed a foolish
joke"! in his conference with the
pros representative in Loudon in
iJcwnbtr, 1919, when he it alleged
to have argued that France was with

Mriuin, "but had to have more ea
fitihtiiic facilities In order to keep
Germany in check."
Naval Expert at Work.
- Washington, an. 2. (Uy A. P.)
Despite the New Year' holiday,
naval experts of the arms coniercucr
delegations kept at work today on
their task of ironing out details of
the naval limitation plan, which it is
hoped to put into final treaty form
hy the end of the week, With no
serious difficulty expected In formu
lating l tic necessary technical ad
justments to cover such question as
replacement and scrapping of ships
there was a general feeling today that
the end of the week may see another
plenary session of the conference for
announcement of a formal five-power
treaty covering the naval limitation
scheme.
With this prospect "for final dispo
sition of the naval program, there
was a general expectation the con
ference would be ready to adjourn
about the middle of the month.
Despite the several troublesome is
sues which apparently have yet to be
cleared away in that branch of the
negotiations, including the Shantung
question, which the Japanese and
and Chinese are now deadlocked, it
was believed that settlement would
not be delayed beyond two weeks.
'Algona Road to
Be Paved at Cost
Lowest Since 1917
Elocn-Milc Stretch of Na
tional Parks Highway to .
Be Covered for Total
of $3l7,00(f
Algona, la., Jan. 2. When.' the
Kossuth county board of super
visors contracted with a De Moines
company for the construction of
11 1-4 miles of 18-foot concrete
pavement of the National l'ark
highway from Algona to Wesley
at $2.59 a square yard, they es
tablished the lowest cost of build
ing roads in Iowa since 1917.
This rate is at a cost of $27,350.10
a mile. The grading of the Algona
Wesley road went to the same com
pany at 30 cents for 5,09 J cubic
yards, and 05 cents for 11,318 cubic
yards. The total cost of the com
pleted road will be $317,000.
Jt is pointed out that Cerro "Gordo
county contracted for pavement in
1917 for the Mason City-Clear Lake
road at $2.22 1-2 a square yard, but
the pavement is said to have been
thinner hy one inch and to have
contained only one-half as much
reinforcement. The amount for each
mile amounted to $22,384.64. The
difference in the Cost of Kossuth and
Cerro Goido roads is Mieved to be
due to the higher freight ratei or
cement.
The Kossuth county board of su
pervisors also contracted for
unveiling 12.47 miles of road from
Hurt north to the Imperial high
way at 34 1-2 cents a .cubic yard
for the first mile haul and 8.4 crnu
a half mile additional. The contrart
estimate is approximately 20,000
cubic yards of gravel. . ,
