to rise nnd declare they were with hlin.
Mr Lewis' talk as filled with strik
ing statements. Once In discussing
economy he held up n bunch of expense
bills, amounting to hundreds of dollars,
nnd said they were put In hy men offi
cially domiciled In Karrlsbtirg, and
added: "After I'm nudltor general I'll
take these up with the attorney general
and If he says I'm right I'll make those
people pay that back."
Tails SncctAlor "Spy"
On nnoher occasion, after making
some criticisms, he saw a man stand
ing In the doorway and said: ell,
there's a spy sent up here to report on
what's Koln-j on."
The man. named Hamar, denied th"
assertion.
"Well, you're from the auditor gen
eral's department, and what arc ou
doing here?" asked Mr. I.cls.
In opening, Mr. T.els said he
wanted the members to feel that they
would not have to present resolutions
to get Information from him nnd that
he proposed to co-operate with the (lov
ernor and heads of departments for
business efficiency where er possible.

glvo it to hlin. As far ns I am con

Answering a question hv Mr. C'ntlln,
McKan, Mr. Lewis said there were
people on payrolls for which no statu
tory authority existed and that salaries
hail been Jumped bejond statutory pro
visions. "I don't wnnt that kind In my
department when I tnke hold, nnd it is
the best policy to have ever, thing fixed

Mr. IjCwU explained provisions of
the state depository board bill and in
nnswer to questions fro Chairman O.

nnd others said the state could make
money. He said ho regarded the bill

Mr. Lewis also declared he Intended

that he planned a reorganization in

Why Hudson Utility
Appeals to Business Men
No Hudson owner forgets thi--.
fact in his appreciation of Super-Six
economy.
He knows Hudson is the supreme
performance type among all the world'3
cars. Its stock car records in speed,
hill-climbing, acceleration and endur
ance have never been matched.
Engineers who aim at such per
formance distinction usually ignore
such elements of economy as fuel, oil
and tire mileage.
But Hudson's notable speed, its 72
added power, and 80 greater ef
ficiency means no extra cost in its
operation.
Its speed and power do not come
from great motor size and high fuel
consumption. The exclusive Super-
Six principle cets 76 H. P., from &
light, conventional motor that form
erly developed 42 H. P. at maximum.
Vibration that wasted about half
the power of the conventional type !'
almost eliminated by this type. Near
er approach does not teem possible.
That means that even extraordin
ary calls impose no strain or abuse on
Hudson. It accounts for the way
Hudsons retain new car ability when
they have grown old in point of years
and use. It removes the costly burden
and annoyance of frequent repairs and
service attention.
With all the other desirable things
men find in Hudson, this accounts
also for the additional triumph oi
true economy.

The Capital of
Chance
If ono were to seek the
gayest, richest, smartest,
carofrecst throng in the
world, one would probably
sail away to the Azuro Coast
of Monto Carlo and mingle
with the throngs on the Ri
viera or wander through the
costly salons of the Casino.
Kings, princes, millionaires,
beautiful women and famous
men from every part of the
world, at some time or other,
seek out this feverish capital
of Chance.
Tho story of Monto Carlo
is both brilliant nnd tragic.
There are smiling happy faces
around the roulette tables, but
now and then, when the wheel
stops, tho sharp report of a
pistol for a momentintcrrupts
the play. Someone has been
"cleaned."
But "it is considered most
caddish to kill yourself inside
tho Casino," and tho game
presently goes on.
Perhaps no one is more
familiar with the insido his
tory of this famous resort
than Mrs. C. N. Williamson,
whose absorbing "Behind the
Scenes at Monto Carlo" np-
gcara in April Cosmopolitan,
he has spent tho season
there for fifteen years.
Where the Gods Are
Underground
Every year the Hop! In-
i dians, of New Mexico, stage
their well known ''Snako
Danco" a religious ceremony
to invoke rain in which real
live rattle-snakes are carried
by the priests.
Later the snakes aro carried
back into t i desert and set
free the belief being that
they crawl back underground
(whero the Gods dwell) and
carry the prayer for rain with
them.
Oddly enough, says Mary
Roberts Rinehart, in her ar-
liln 'TWnrf farnuanir" In
April Cosmopolitan, "though
mo pncsis are irequenuy
bitten by the poisonous rep
tiles, they never die or, at
least, so tho Indians clairm"
Music and Noise
A grouchy old philosopher
onco said that "of all noises
music is the least disagree
able." Gcorgo Ade, America's
greatest humorist (and a keen
philosopher, too, by tho way)
has a different idea about
music and he tells about it, in
those merry, pithy epigrams
of his, in April Cosmopolitan,
Ade likes popular music and
says so. Ho believes it possible
to have good taste and still
like "Mother Machree" and
"Molly Darling."
He also maintains that one
can enjoy grand opera with
out being either a fanatic or a
college professor.
"Probably it would be aw
fully hard, he says, "to room
with one who knew too much
about music."
You will get a refreshingly
new slant on music and musi
cians, by reading his short
editorial in the April issue.
The National Bureau for
tho Advancement of Music
Hiked it so well that they are
calling it to tho' attention or
every prominent music lover
in the country.
An Answer to An
Old Question
Is it possible for n man or
a woman to love, at one and
the same time, two different
people?
How easy to answer "yes."
Andhowcasy to answerr'no."
Depending, of course, on
one's own experience or lack
of it.
But surely no question has
brought humanity more puz
zlement, more soul-searching
and heartbreak than this one.
Perhaps you will think that
Frederick Arnold Kummerhas
the wrong answer. But no
story ever written has made
a more sympathetic and beau
tiful effort lo settle this world-
old problem than ' 'Tho Woman
Uutside, in April Cosmopolitan.

Perhaps that's why Harris
on Fisher, for more than ten
years now, has found it pos
sible to draw a beautiful girl
each month for the cover of
Cosmopolitan, without ever
once having two of them look
alike.
Fisher draws from living
models. He has often used
the same model more than
once but tho result is never
the same, because, like all
great artists, ho draws, not
tho model herself, but the pic
ture she suggests to him.
He works in a spacious, sun
lit studio in New York City,
and the pictures you see on
the covers of Cosmopolitan
are not painted in oils or water
colors, they are sketched with
pastels, or pieces of colored
chalk.
Mr. Fisher draws covers
exclusively for Cosmopolitan.
Besides, he frequently illus
trates stories in pen and ink.
He is one of the best pen and
ink artists in the world.
Tho picture of on outdoor
girl on the April cover is ono
of the most attractive be has
drawn.

EXIT
When P. T. Barnum con
ducted his famous museum
in New York, folks used to
come in and bring their lunch
es and stay all day. Finally
Mr. Barnum hit upon the
effective plan of having his
leather-lunged announcer cry
out through thp megaphone,
' 'This way to see the EX IT, ' '
and the freak-hungry crowds,
pusljing through the doorway
over which wns inscribed the
mystic word of four letters,
found themselves outside on
the street.
If tho great show-man could
roturn to earth would he find
people more sophisticated now
than they were then? Wo are
inclined to believe he would.
Husbands for Sale!
A Hopi girl must pay for her husband, within the
first year after marriage, fifteen hundred pounds of
hand.ground meal! She has to grind it herself, too,
with a couple of stones! She must also build and
own her own house. But if hubby stays out too late
at night or drinks too much firewater, she throws his
saddle outdoors and he's a divorced man. These
are a few of the many interesting customs Mary
Roberts Rinehart has discovered among the ancient
Pueblo Indians of Arizona and New Mexico. Read
"Desert Caravaners" in April Cosmopolitan.
No One Ever Saw Him-r-But
You will like Monsieur Lanyard, the brilliant French
spy. And then you will make an amazing discovery.
You will learn that he is no other than "The Lone
Wolf that mysterious, intelligent criminal of pre
war days who was never seen, yet whose ghosdy hand
had dipped into the jewel boxes of practically every
great house in Europe. Louis Joseph Vance has
written a fascinating romance of intrigue and mys
tery around this great character. Don't fail to read the
opening installment of "Alias the Lone Wolf" in April
