Harding Presents First Nomi nations. Washington, March 4.-President Harding presented his cabinet nomi nations to the senate today in person and they were confirmed by that body an less than ten minutes. The presi . dent later signed the commissions of his ten official advisers, who will en ter tomorrow upon their new duties, succeeding the men who served Wood row Wilson. In appearing before the. senate in executive session the new chief exec utive revived a custom inavfcgjrated by George Washington but in dis use since the day of Thomas Jeffer son. He explained that during his administration he wished to "main- j fained close and amicable relations" with the legislative branch and fori that reason had appeared personally I to present his cabinet selections. 1 Presentation of the nominations! was the first official act of the incom- j ing president and occurred within less J than an hour after he had taken the j oath of office. He had discussed the question with senate leaders before j his inauguaration and when he con cluded his address the senate assem bled. While a quorum was being obtain-1 ed Mr. Harding waited in his room off the senate chamber. During the j wait he came to tho door for a minute I to smile greetings to newspaper cor- j respondents in tho corridor. He had j scarcely reentered the room before I the arrival of Senators Lodge of J Massachusetts and Underwood of Alabama, the Republican and Demo crat leaders who had been appointed I by Vice President Coolidge to inform j the president that the senate was I ready for him. On Familiar Ground. Mr. Harding said he desired to present his message in person and j was escorted into the chamber, the doors to which previously been clos- j ed with all spectators and newspaper men excluded. The president was es corted across the familiar room where he served six years before his call to the higher office and to a place on the rostrum beside Mr. Coolidge. Facing his former colleagues, the president spoke fer perhaps five min utes in happy, cordial vein and then read the nominations from a card which he held in his hand. He asked for early action, in order, he said, that there might be no hiatus in the j government's affairs. Starting with Senator A. B. Fall of New Mexico-a courtesy because of I his senate membership-the senate j i went through the list and confirmed all, one by one. No objection was J raised, all committees to which the j nominations ordinarily would have been referred having been polled in advance. The cabinet officers as confirmed were : Secretary of state, Charles Evans] Hughes of New York. Secretary of the treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, Pennsylvania. Secretary of war, John W. Weeks, Massachusetts. Secretary of navy, Edwin Denby, Michigan. Secretary of interior, Albert B. Fall, New Mexico. Secretary of agriculture, Henry C. Wallace, Iowa. Secretary of commerce, Herbert Hoover, California. Attorney general, Harry M. Daugh 'erty, Ohio. Postmaster general, Will H. Hays, Indiana. Secretary of Labor, James J. Davis Pennsylvania. Mellon Takes Oath. One of the new officials, Mr. Mel lon, was sworn in soon after his nom ination, the ceremony taking place in the office of Senator Knox of Penn sylvania. The oath was administered by Chief Justice White of the su-j preme court, assisted by Associate Justice Pitney. David F. Houston, the retiring secretary of the treasury stood beside Mr. Mellon during the brief ceremony. Mr. Mellon will take up his work early tomorrow, but his nine associ ates will defer taking the oath until around noon. Each will proceed to his respective department and there be sworn in by the chief clerk of the department in the presence of the men they succeed and the chiefs of the various bureaus over which their authority will extend. The new secretary of war, Mr. Weeks, conferred with President Harding this afternoon at the White House executive offices. The new sec retary of navy also called there dur ing the afternoon but did not see his chief. ^Whenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grcve's The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless ?hill Tonic is equally valuable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON.

"So you think yourself a beauty!" young Maben sniffed. "And you can't help agreeing with me." Lorraine gig gled, twining an unmistakably pre meditated curl about her forefinger. Maben sniffed again, saying: "What I think doesn't matter-not the least. But if my name were only Wainright-" pausing significantly. Lorraine smiled elfinly, clasped her hands behind her head and murmured, apparently to the breeze: "It is nice to be found pleasing by a person who knows." Then, sitting up, head thrust forward: "Tell me, Dicky, does the exalted one' really think anything about me? The frozen truth-ther?'s a good fellow." . Young Maben smiled craftily. " 'Frald you couldn't bear it," he said, looking past Lorraine to her reflection In the mantel mirror. "Oh, ft won't quite turn my head,' she laughed back at him, yet with a deep note under lt that hurt Maben to hear. But to be madly jealous at two-and-twenty is to be also entirely ruthless. "He says you are a type the dimpled dairymaid-mighty fetch ing here on the farm-but civilization would spoil you utterly," Maben an awered slowly. "Would lt, I wonder?" Lorraine an swered calmly, with a meditativ? smile, but something at the bottom of her eyes that was disturbing to. her sometime sweetheart. They had grown up together Into an illusory love-and grown out of it, they thought, by help of school and college. But since love's possessive case is nearly an Immor Held Chuckling Conferences. telle, Wainwright's advent had made Maben furious. Ail the more so that he himself was responsible for lt Wainright, a fellow of Maben's col lege, specializing in sociology, had taken a fancy to the lad from the wheat country, had helped him in many ways-in return for all of which Maben had almost bullied him into coming to Earable for the holidays. The farm name had pleased him mightily when he sensed its deriva tion. It was the old form of arable and doubtless meant adapted to eared crops. Place names, y?u see. all hold glints of sociology. Thus Wainright to himself. The basic truth was wearied of sophistication, he felt a lonping for life next to the ground. He said openly he "collected sum mer girls," thereby assuring his harm lessness. It was thus he had classi fied Lorraine, with no thought of slight or slur: Maben knew as much -knew that his quotation, actually veritable, was spiritually false. But In a losing battle one takes any weapon handy. Lorraine, in front of the tall mir ror, scanned herself narrowly, turn ing and bending to see herself at all angles. A new and specially wicked dimple played hide and seek In her left cheek. Maben, watching it, yearned to kiss it away, but felt some how as though he had forfeited all right even to think of s^ch a thing. Presently he said awkwardly: Tm glad you don't mind, 'Raine. The old boy meant no harm, but most girls wouldn't understand-" "God Almighty made 'em te match the men," Lorraine quoted with a twinkle. "But me ! I'm the best little understander going. If you doubt lt, Just you watch me." "I'm sure you've said things of him," Maben began defensively. She nodded, Interrupting ngain. "Not a patch on the things I shall say to him. Beloved, listen, It will be worth while." "Going to ask him If a dimpled dairymaid wears her finger In her mouth?" Maben bantered. "Why didn't you let me think of that?" Lorraine sighed. "You know original sin gets there first always-" "Shut up! There he comes" Ma ben admonished over shoulder, as he rushed to meet a 'tallvitBift'fpersbn with a scholarly droop of eyes and shoulders, who came up the path be tween brilliant flw^ffihor^ijs^Lor raine flung after after him auNnscru tablo sicfie-then v?n^nijl, not to re appear until very late afternoon. Maben sjared^,aL,^her.M She "WBSL transfigured. Not a cori, hardl.t a wave broke the sweep o? her red golden crown. She hud banished ev. ery dimple, gentled her dancing feet to a softer rhythm. AU in white, clinging and vaporous, she seemed to float rather than walk across grass already cool with dew. Lifting her head deerlike from her low garden seat, she smiled up at Wainright, a smile of primal allurement, saying softly: "Now is the time for wonder stories. You must tell me one-the one I most care to hear." "What is it?" he asked. "You promised to tell it," anxiously. "If I know it," he said indulgently, In his best elder brother voice. Lorraine smiled again. "If not you -who does?" she murmured. "It Is the story of yourself-tell it from the very beginning." Wainright gasped. Half a minute before he would have sworn to himself and wa''-ed off. Now instead he flung himself on the turf, set his chin in his palms-and made the beginning of the end. *.**.... It was a profound social observer who said: "There are no such trou blesome ghosts at maturity as the un committed sins of our youth." Wain right proved the saying. His youth had been hard and driving, untouched by. merry dalliances, unsweetened by saving follies. Naturally his ghost dancing made him a spectacle for gods and men. But he cared nothing for that. Men might scoff,.women sneer; all he wanted was to bathe himself In the sunlight of Lorraine's eyes and let her gentle feet dance over his heart If they chose. Maben tried rescues many and vari ous, partly on his own account, partly also because of real friendliness. But none of them got him anywhere. He dared not risk open expostulation-" the habit of reverence was too strong In him. Lorraine would neither talk nor listen to him-no more than she would to her mother or the ministes. Now and then she held chuckling conferences with her father-who nev er since the day she was born had seen anything wrong In her. But even he at length grew, not anxious, but compassionate. "Put 'im out of mis ery gently, honey," he counseled. "When you don't want a fish throw him back, instead of leaving him flop ping and messing1) up the bank." A cryptic saying-perhaps it was In obedience to it that a month af ter Wainright's beguilement Lorraine again sat in the low chair, bending toward him on the grass at her feet. But instead of saying anything she spread her hands, palms downward palms all pink and satin-smooth, melt ing Into round baby wrists. Wain right caught them-she did not draw them away. As he made to lay one against his cheek she said softly: "P^ty they ,are so smooth and weak they quite spoil ray type." "Nothing can spoil your type, what ever it may be," Wainright murmured,3 trying to kiss a wrist. She drew lt gently away, saying roguishly: "Fie! You are not going back on yourself, surely! Remember-you called me a dimpled milkmaid!" "So I did!"" Wainright said sitting up suddenly. "Where's Maben, I won der!" "Here," said Maben looming through the dusk. "But don't swear-there's a pair of us. She's going to marry Heath Maclay next month." . WATER MOCCASIN HIS CATCH Truthful Fisherman Tells Rather Re markable Story of an Experience He Had. Here's a fish story that Is not a fish story. It's a snake story. It comes from a fisherman's lips in a time when snake stuff is supposed to be unob- i tainnble. Moreover, it comes from a truthful fisherman's Hps. Therefore, j behold the marvel : Herman Sohlender went fishing on Cicero creek above Noblesville.
