*as a fttle girl of *en when I first
<uiew her luther ami mother.
It is duliculi to determine whether
?o aiiiiiuu iuosL Iter magnetic pei'son
j,iity which she inhcri'ieti from her
.amo.is lather, or her unquestionable
ugh intellectual qualities.

.ongrcas for tne law which permits
vmericvUi women to^pcmaiu American
itizeus even though married to for
jguers. Her former husband the late
Japtain Reginald Owen, was an Eng
. all man, and she was a iirisish sub

1 am sure that everybody agrees

KIRK" able
The Kepublicau National Commit
cc Jias selected another oid friend of
.line, Alfred II Kirchofer, aa el
ector ot ])ublility for the Pre aide ti
iul campaign. They could not have
u-ked a better imtu.
"Kirk", as his friends call him, in
tniuigiiig editor oi! the Buffalo Eve
ling News. Before that he was the
? uiihiugl'M correspondent for the
une paper, for which he had been
cat o political reporter.
I 1?. id that some job on the same
uper,! a gorjpl many years before
Kirk" got into newspaper work.
Organizing publicity for a Presi
entiki cnnipr|ign id a tough job, es
'ociul'y when the opposition is ol
(Vidy fully ozonized and active. I
.now, for I had that job to dof for
Wood row Wilson. I was a lot younger
lien.
"Kiifc" is young enough to have
the physical stamina to last until
?'ovember. He'll need a long vaca
tion, though, after election.
"BILL" . . . .will make food
Kvcrybody who knows him well
nils him "Bill". I'm speaking of
William Phillips, the new American
Ambassador to Italy.
Bill Phillips is one of tbe finest cx
iiiplcs of "career men" in the ser
vice of the United States. He doesn't
?inve to work forf a living, but went
'i? to Government service as a patri
ae duty, and found that he had a
filont for diplomacy. I first knew
iim when he was Assistant Secretary
>f State during the World War. Be
fore that he had been in the foreign
u'rvieo iu England and ChHna. Since
then ho has been U. S. Minsiter to
the Netherlands, to Belgium and to
Canada, and Undersecretary of
State.
He's stepping now into one of the
most touchy and difficult diplomatic
poste in the world. But his friends
know he'll make gOod.
