Gosaippera are all more or less

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

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.

Mystery surrounds the death by
bullet wounds of Mra. Nora Wilson,
40, whose dead body was found in
bed in a hotel room at Miami, Fla.,
last Sunday. It was at first thought
probable that she was a suicide. Now
the theory is that she was murdered.
In a general row during a gambling
game at the Biltmore hotel in
Coial Gables, Fla., Tuesday night,
one man was dead and a second was
shot through the chest and arm. The
wounded man refused to give any details
of the shooting.
