Hats. The creeping scum I worWVi th* I<>Wer Gosaippera are all more or less possessed- of a rat disposifion. I am referring to chonic gossippers. The The kind tehjr?y defamin* u character. The kind that never waits to verify a statement he or she might hear; provided, of course, it is so bad that it becomes a sweet morsel while a-bo'rning. The kind that is jealous and envious and spiteful and newsy. And they are legion.,' We are all more or less careless in oui daily .walk and conversation, and especially our conversation. And then, so we have been informed, all men are liars. And you know-man embraces woman.. But it looks like it should be easier to forgive a man or a woman than to cast the first stone. The truth is bad enough some times, but gossippers do not always need a truth to run thru their loud-speakers. A report of a dirty tendency makes so much''noise that veracity is drowned out. Nobody is perfect?not even you. Thousands of good men and good women are talked about maliciously every day. And thousands of bad men and yomen are talked about maliciously every day, but the gossip| per 'never care* whether a man is a good man or a woman a bad woman when it comes to spreading the "glad news" that "They say," and "she" ought to know, for "her husband" saw them, they were seen together at that place several times recently. Everybody" is talking, according to a gossipper. We are all human and fall short of perfection. JWe make mistakes. We do wrong frequently, and it is hard enough to answer foi^our short-comings when we have fallen by the wayside, but it is real punishment, and a horrible experience to have to suffer the mortification that folks circulate about one another, especially when it is all more b^less fabricated, distorted, venomous gossip. And I ain't talking about anybody in particular in this item either. [ I I)o Not Chews to Choo-Choo. Writing "Nobodys Business" is my past-time. I quit cussing a few years ago, and took up writing. I Jtist had to have some bad habit, and didnt want ta'begin, going out a. ^ ? s late day- 1 never know what I am going to "feat-ire" until begin, and occasionally I hesitate a moment and grabble around for a subject. I just asked my wife what I dI write on tonight, and she said? Wnte on the typewriter," Gosh, that woman's smart. Now when I started out with this column, I decided to talk about chew-j mg gum. That's a good subject. Chewing gum is useful as well as ornamental. I nm very fond of not chewing gum, but I like to watch other folks do the stunt. -A flapper has the right idea: she chews and sucks her gum at the same lime, and she also stretches it with her thumb and fingers and makes iittje ribbons ?ut of it, and then she pops it by compressing air In the upper part of her loud-speaker, and suddenly releasing it thru her wad of gum. Chewing gum is also a fine thing to stop in. Women are especially fond ? getting a quid tenaceously attached to the heel of a slipper so's they have < ' : down th.

Herbert Hoover Completes Cabinet r Washington, Marc)) 2.?<President, elect Hoover ranged far and wide in j picking the ten men who are to form hia cabinet. Massachusetts has its representative along with California and Missouri, but the largest representation ia from the middle and northwestern states. Pennsylvania ia the only commonwealth which will have two men in the Hpover official family and strangely enough both are hold-overs from the Coolidge cabinet and both are from the same city, Pittsburgh. They are Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, and James J. Davis, secretary of labor. In making his selections, however, the president-elect is believed to have had little actual regard for geographical lines. Certainly he surprised a number of political observers When he failed to select a man from the traditionally Democratic s South which he split wide open in the November election, b^ing the first Republican since reconstruction days to curry a single one of the old Confederate states. Recognition went to his home state i of California through hia selection of a personal friend, Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford university, us secretary of the interior. Dr. Wilbur has obtained leave of absence from Stanford for only two years, indicating that he will serve only that length of time, although, of course, the Ibuve could be extended. Two of those who are to be in the cabinet were active in Mr. Hoover's behalf during both the preconvention . and the general campaigns. They are James \V?>Good of Iowa, to bo secretary of war, and Walter F. Brown, of Ohio, to be ppstmastov general. Having selected two men from his "own personal political forces, the president-elect promptly turned to ! the camp of a one time formidable foe for the presidential nomination, former Governor Frank 0. Lowden, of Illinois, and selected Arthur M., Hyde, former governor of Missouri, for the very important post of secretary of agriculture. When it came to the naming of Henry L. Stimson, of New York, as secretary of state, it is understood that the president-elect gave great weight to the counsel of Elihu Root and Charles Evans Hughes, both of whom have held the same position. There has been a general report, however, that Mr. Stimson was not a first choice. The consensus sterns to be that the fact that William D. Mitchell who is to be attorney general, hails from Minnesota had little weight in his selection. His appointment was urged by prominent members of the bar as well as some of Mr. Hoover's closest advisers, and it is said to have had the approval of ,8ome members of the United States supreme court. In going to Massachusetts for a secretary of the navy, the next president in naming Chhrles Francis Adams picked out a former Democrat as he did in the case of Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Adams has voted the Republican ticket since 1920 while Mr. Mitchell cast his fliat Republican voU in 1916. Some friends of Mr. Hoover assert that the selection of Robert P. I*a~ mont, a Chicago engineer, as secretary of commerce, announcement of which was made only today, was a personal one. The president-elect wanted an outstanding engineer with wide business experience and the Illinois man was regarded as tilling the bill. Henry L. Stimson, who (is returning here from Manila where he has been governor general of the Philippines, will be the only one of the cabinet officers iiot present at the inauguration of Mr, Hoover. Mr. Stimson is due iu Washington on April 1 and Secretary Kellog has consented to continue in office until hi? successor can qualify. Thomas Tuggart Dead Indianapolis, March 7.? Thomas Taggart, a Democrat in politics, but non-partisan in his affability und generosity, died here yesterday at his home after a lingering illness. He was 72 years old. With Charles Murphy of .New York and Roger Sullivan of Illinois, he formed u triumvirate that once loomed large in the affairs of the.Democratic party. All three are dead now. Mr. Taggart's death occurred this morning at his home from kidney disorders complicated by heart disease. For several years he had been in failing health. Grady Spencer and Dick Allen have been released from the Spartanburg county jail under bonds of $2,000 each, after being held for several weeks past charged with being accessories to the killing of Earle Belue, Drayton mills pay clerk on Dec. 14th laBt. Ray Coleman, arrested in Indianapolis, and Paul Johnson, arrested, in Wilmington, Del., are held as principals in the killing. Johnson has repudiated his alleged confession to the shooting of Belue. :?
