School Hoard Expects to Let Contract

F r iday of This Week—Nineteen Rids

Submit ted on General Contract ,

Thir teen on Plumbing and l leat in; ;

And Eight on Hip Electrical Work

Two more important s teps hnve been

taken by the board of education of Co-

loma School District No. 1, looking to ward the ear ly construction of a new school building. The !<12S,000 bonds authorized by the electors of the dis-trict last fail were sold March 8th, and as line a site for a school build-ing a s conid be chosen lias been pur-chased by the hoard. It was exped-ed that the contract for the construc-tion of the building would be let be-fore this lime, but on account of the large number of bids that were sub ndtied at t he opening last F r iday and the wide variance in the prices quoted, the school board is t ak ing lis t ime to go careful ly over the figures so thai they may make sure that they a r e gel-ling the very liest price obtainable and that the contract goes to the r ight par ty .

Bonds Rear Five Per Cent

The first important step following the election to vote the bonds w a s the sale of the bonds. The necessary steps were taken in this mat ter , the sale was advert ised in the proper manner and the sale was held a t the oflice of

the secretary of the school board, A. W. Maker, on March 8th. The amount of the bonds to be Issued Is $125,000. They a r e to run for a period of th i r ty yeaw and a re lo bear Interest at the ra te of live per cent. Four bidders sought to purchase these bonds, the best bid being that ofTered by Rumpus & Co., of Detroit, who were awarded the bonds at a premium of $l,(>00.

Ideal Site Secured

The location of a new school build-

ing is a lways a diflicult task for a

school board and the Coloma school

author i t ies have spent considerable

wi th a modern school. There a re sonu f r u i t trees and a vineyard on the prop er ty which would be valuable in con nectlon with the agr icul tura l depart inent of the school.

Many Rids Submit ted

The school board, which consists of Allen ('. Stark, p res iden t ; A. W. Raker, s ec re ta ry ; and J a m e s K. Guy, Clarence E. Geisier and William N. VenDer veer is confronted with a diflicult task In going over the large number of bids that were submit ted fo r the construc-tion of the school building, and the

The purchase price of this site was $8,000, which is considered very reasonable, considering the real value of the land

Chapter 111 —21—

T h e steps hy which Hnllldfl j solved the murder nt the mnln house, and with it the mystery which had pre-c e d e d It . c o n s t i t u t e a n I n t e r e s t i n g s t o r y

la tiwtnselves. So certain was lie thnt. hy the time we were ready for tiie tWrrt senme. his muleriai was n l r ead j (« tlie linnds uf the district attorney And It wuc nut the maierlai he had given to Oreenoiigh.

For the sniulion ot a portion ot the mystery, then, one must go back to the main house, and consider Hie older part ot it. it Is well known that many houses of (hut period were provided with hidden passages, hy which the owners ho|ied to escape ihe excise. Such un nttempi. many years ago. had cost George Fierce his l i f e

Hut the pnssiige lending from Ihe «id kitchen, now the den. to a closet In the rootr above it. had been blocked u p for many years. The hulider WHS d e a d ; by all the laws of chance time might have gone on and the passage remained undiscovered.

In ISW. however, Eugenia Ulggs bought the property, ami In making r epa i r s the old passage was discov-ered. Although she denied using It for fraudulent purposes, neither Uaiii-day nor I doubt that she did so. She ftoinls to tlie plastered wall as her defense, hut Haliiday assures me that a portion of tlie haseboard, hinged to swing out, bin locked from wilhin, would have allowed easy access to the

cabinet . Cut Haliiday had at the beginning

no knowledge of this passage, with Its ladder to tlie upper iloor. He reached It by pure deduction.

"It had to be there," he says mod •estly. "And It was." . . .

Up to the time young Gordon was •Hacked at the kitchen door, how e re r , Haliiday w m frankly at sea. Tha t Is, he had certain suspicions, bui tha t was •!!. He had discovered, for Instance, that the cipher found in ray garage was written on the same sort of bond paper as thai used by Gor-don, by the simple expedient of hav-ing Annie Cochran gel him a slioel of It. nn some excuse or other.

But his actual case began. I believe with that attack on Gordon At least be began at that lime detlnitely to as-aoclate the criminal with Hie house.

"There was something fishy about I t / i Is the way he puis it.

And with Bethel's story to me. forced toy his fear that the boy knew it was he who had attacked him. tlie beliel tha t It was "llshy" gained ground.

"Gordon was knocked out," he says. "And that ougiit to have been enough. But It was not. He was lied. too. lied while he was slill unconscious. Some toody wasn't taking a chance that he'd get back Into the house very soon."

It was that "play for time," as he t e rms it. Hint made him suspicious.

Alt this time; of course, he was lg-aorant of any underlying motive; he makes it clear that he simply began, first to associate the crimes with Hie house, and then with Bethel. He kept going back to his copy of Hie unfln <slied letter, hu t :

"It didn't help much." he says quiet-ly. "Only, there was murder Indi-cated in f t And we were having murder."

He had three clews, two of them certain, one doubtful. Thece r l a in ones were the linen from the oarlock of the hoat, torn from a sheet belonging to the main bouse, and the small portion of tlie cipher. The one lit was no! cer tain about was the lens from an eyeglass, outside the culvert.

He began to watch tlie house; be "didn't get" Gordon in tlie situation at al l ; Ihere was no situation there real ly: nothing, that is. that be could lay his hand on. But on the night i called him and he s tar ted toward Bob Inson's point, as he came back toward the house he anw the figure ot a man certainly not Gordon, enter the house by the gunroom window When he got riiere ll>e window was closed and locked.

He was puzzled. He looked arounn (or me. but I was not in sight. Slill Bearching for me, he made a round oi Ihe house, and so was on the terrace when I fired the shot. From that lime on he saw Bethel somehow connected with the mystery, but only as the brains.

"There was some devil's work afoot,'-

he said. "But always I came up against that parafysi? of his. He had lo have outside help."

On the night In question then, he was certain that this accomplice was still In Hie house through ail that fol lowed; through HaywarJ ' s arrival and Starr 's . He was so •.•ertaln by that t i m e ot Gordon's Innocence that he very nearly took him into his confi-dence the next day. But he was a f r a i d of the boy; he was not depend ab le ; Haliiday had an idea thai "he was pluying his own game."

But if tills man was In the house that night, where was he'/

He grew suspicious til tlie den after t ha t , atrd he found out through Start t h e name of ihe builder win had put 4n the paneiinK in tlw den, foi Uncle f lo race . It was u kong story, hut In the end he lerrmed someihing.

Tear ing the ord haseooanl prior to pu t t ing up the panels, the builder had feappened on the old passage lo the room overhead, and be had called Hot ace T o n e r ' s niteriiion to it. ii seems t o have appealed to tlie poor old chap; I t belonged, somehow, to the room. «-lth the arrthiue stuiT Le was putt ing In to It. Me buili In a sliding panel ; It mas not a part icularly skillful piece mt work, hut If answered. And he kept his secret, at least f rom me.

I doubt If he ever used It. until pro-aibl l lon came In. Then, no drinker k lmsel f . he put there a small and choice supply of liquor, aoine of which «re found later on. And one bottle of «feleb piacad Haliiday In peril of hU

life, a day or so a f te r the night I had Bred the shot Into the hall.

He had borrowed Annie Cochran s key to the kitchen door, and afiei midnight entered the house and went to the den. Although he Is reticent about this portion ol It. I gather that the house was not all ll should be liial

night. "You know the sort ol thing," he

says. But, pressed as to that, he admits

that he was bearing small and ine i pilniblf sounds from the library Chairs seemed to move, an 1 once he was certain that tlie curtain In Ihe doorway behind hini blew out into Hie room. When be lorked hack over his shoulder, however, ll was hanging as

before. He had no trouble In finding tiir

panel, and as carefully as he could he stepped Inside. But he had touched one of the bottles and It fell over.

"It didn't make much noise." he says, "hut It was enough. He was awake, and paralysis, or no paralysis 1 hadn't time to move before be was In the closet overhead, and opening the trap in Hie floor."

He had not had time to move, and even if he had. there were the Infernal bottles all around him. So stood witliout breathing, waiting for he knew not what.

"Tilings looked pretty poor," he says. '"I d idn ' t 'know wiien he'd str ike a mnich and see me. And it was good-night if he did I"

But Bethel had no match, evidently. He stood listening Intently, and in the darkness below Haliiday held Ids breath and waited. Then Bethel moved. He left tlie t rap door above open und went for a light, and Halii-day crawled oui and closed the panel

quietly. From that time on. however, he

knew Bethel was no more helpless than he was. He abandoned the idea of an accomplice, und concentnued ou the man himself. . .

Annie Cochran was workitii, with him: that is, she did what he asked her, although she seems not to have known at any time the direction in wlilch he was working. Her own mind was already made u p ; she beliesed Gordon to lie guilty. She made no protest, however, when he asked her to break Mr. Bethel 's spectacles one early morning, and give him tlie frugmenlR But she did it, pretending a f te rward that she had thrown the pieces into tlie stove.

Bethel was watchful and suspicious by that time, and she had a bad time of it, but what is important here Is that Haliiday took Hie f ragments into Hie city, and established beyond a doubt that they and the piece of a lens found near Hie culvert were made from the same prescription.

And he had no more than made his discovery, when Gordon, a t tempting at last the blackmail which he had been threatening, was put out of the way as quickly and ruthlessly as had been poor 1'eler t ' a r roway

"Twenty-four hours." Haliiday says bitterly, "and we would have saved

him." But twenty-four hours later Bethel

had made good his escape, and every-thing was apparent ly over.

But from that time Bethel as Bethel, ceased to exist for Haliiday. .

He was not working alone, however. Very early, he had realized that he needed assistance, real assistance Annie Cochran 's tielp was always of the below-stairs order. And he found the help he wanted a f te r the night Gorrltai was at tacked, in Hayward. As a matter of fact, ii was Hayward who went to iiiin.

"He was worried aboat you. Skip per." Haliiday says, witii a grin. "He considered it quite possible that the attempt to wrangl- English l i terature into loo many brain corrals might have driven you sliphily mad."

On the night, then, when Gordon was hurt . Hie doctor was impulsively on his way to Haliiday and the boat-house.

"He came within an inch ot having you locked up that night." says Hal

liday. hater on, be did go to Haliiday. and

Haliiday then and there enlisted him in bis service. He was no', shrewd, but he was willing and earnest , and from Hint time on ht was useful. He had s tar ted , presumably, on his vaca-tion hut actually on a very dliTerent errand, when the murder nt Hie main house occurred, and Haliiday recalled him by wire

But wb"ri he returned. It was, at Halllday's request, to hide In the Liv-ingstone house. It was f rom there ihal he came, at night, to hssisl Hal-iiday In guarding Hie main house

One perceives, of course, that the Livingstones had been brought Into the case. I 'nigged in is tlie way Halli day puts it. But a f te r Hie first con ference between Hie doctor and him self they were in it. willy nilly.

"Who," Haliiday asked Hayward, r e herr ing to his copy of rny Uncle Hor-ace's letter, "were likely to have ac-cess to Horace Porter al nlghl?"

"No one, so far as I know. The Livingstones, possibly."

"Then the man who came in while be was writing this letter might have been Livingstone?"

"He was III thai night. I was with

him." T l i e n LIvIngstone'a out." said Hal-

iiday. and turned in a new direction. "Some theory, some wickedness, was

put up to him. And it honil ied and alarmed him. A man doesn't present such a theory without ieadlnf up to IL Let's try th i s : what subject was most Interesting Horace Porter during tlie last years, or months, of his l i f e r

"Spirit ism, I Imagine. I know be was working on It."

"Alone? A man doesn t work that • o n t»f Udng aloae, aa • rule."

"I'll ask Mrs. Livingstone, 11 you like. She may know."

And ask Hie Livingstones he did. wit Ii the result that Haliiday got ids first real clew, and elaborated the dar-ing theory which culminated in that fatal fall from Ihe ladder, In the se-cret passage on the tragic night of the illtii of September. . . .

All this lime, of course, It remained only a theory. Hayward scouted It al first, but came lo it later o n ; tlie Liv-ingstones offered a more difflcult problem.

"Tliey didn't want to be Involved," Haliiday says. "But a f t n Edith's let-ter came I more or less l a d them. And of course af ter he'd tried to get into the house, and left the print of Ids hand on the window board, they had to come in. They'd denied any knowledge of Hie passage before t h a t But be knew ll aa well as I did, or belter, and that there was a chance old Bethel knew It. too, and had used It."

Tills letter of Edith's, to which i have already refeired. runs as fol-lows :

"Dear M adam: " ! have read your art icle with great

interest, and would like to suggest that a good medium might be very useful under the circumstances.

"You have one of the best In the country In your vicinity. She has re-tired, and Is now living under another name somewhere I d the vicinity of Oakvlile.

"Wiien I know her she was known as Eugenia Biggs, but this was her maiden name, which she bad retained. Her husband 's name Is Livingstone; I do not know his initials.

"She has abandoned the profession in which she made so great a success, but I understand U still keenly inter-ested."

.The letter is not signed. . . .

Haliiday did not require that knowl-edge ; lie had suspected it before. But it gave him a lever. One a t tempt had already been made by Bethel to gel back into tlie house Time was get-

• 'They 'd Denied Any Knowledge of the

Passage Before T h a t "

ting s l ior t ; before long we would have to go back to the city, and althouj|h he knew by that lime who and what Bethel was. he could prove nothing. To go was to abandon the case.

He could not secure the arrest of a man because his lem- prescription was the same a s Hie murderer 's . Or on Hie s t rength of an unsigned book manu-script left behind the wall of the den He could not prove that Maggie Morri-son bad died in the process of the ex-peri men; Gordon had puzzled over, because the mud ou the truck wheels corresponded with the red Iron-clay ot the lane Into the main house. He could not prove his own interpretat ion of Hie abbreviations S. and 0 . T. so ilberally scattered through Hie diary. And ho could not prove that It was Bethel who, looking for the broken lens in or near the culvert, had found my fountain pen there. A fact which Gordon had noted in the Journal as fol lows: "I have them now, sure. W. P. was bore last night and left his fountain pen."

But he could, through the Living-stones, tnke a chance on proving all these things. And. against Living-stone's protests and fears, prove it he

did. "As a matter of fact," he says, "they

were In a bad position themselves, and they knew It. They bad to come over aga in !" . . .

Things were. Indeed, ra ther parlous for the Livingstones "As a matter of fact ," Haliiday says cheerfully. "I gave the police a very pretty case againsi them. It was all there, accord-ing to Greenough. Even to the hand print i"

But lie held them off. He bad done what he wanted, turned tlie police along a false trail and was free once more to travel along the t rue one. And In this he says, and I believe. Hint ills purpose was not mercenary.

••Tlie situation was peculIar, , , he says. "The slightest slip, the faint-est suspicion, and he was off."

And he goes back again to the sub-tlety und war jness of the criminal h imsel f ; so watchful, so wary, that throughout it had even been oecea-aary to keep me lu Ignorance.

"You had to carry on. Skipper / ' be says. "In a way. the whole thlug bung on you. Even then, you nearly wrecked us once."

Which was, he tella me the night of the second seance, wlren tbe crim-inal actually fell Into the t r ap aad entered Ihe house. Llvlngatone waa on guard u p s t a l n that night, aad

everything would have ended then probably.

"But you spilled the beans i" he accuses me.

From the first the seances were de-vised for a purpose, and I gather that some of the phenomtna were deliber-ately faked, in pursuit of that pur-pose. On the other hand, Mrs. Liv-ingstone has a lways been firm in her statement that "tilings happened" which she cannot explain. The sounds In the library, the lights and the ar-rival of the book on the table a re among 'hem.

Bur trickery or genuine psychic manlfestnllnns, in the end they served their purpose. I called the third seance, and the mystery was solved.

It Is not surprising thnt my memory ot those last few moments is a clouded one ; 1 was, of all those present ex-cept the police, the only one In com-plete ignorance of tlie meaning uf what was going on about me. Edith knew, and was bravely taking her risk with the o thers ; even my dear J a n e know a li t t le; no wonder she required ber smelling sails .

Actually, out of the confusion, only two pictures remain In my mind:

One was of Greenough staring al Livingstone, and then Jerking aside Hie curtains of tlie cabinet, where Haliiday and Hayward had opened the panel and a f t e r turning on the red globe hanging there, were stooping over a body at the bottom of the ladder.

The other is of that figure at the foot of the s ta i rs .

I know now that It could not have been there ; that It was lying, dead of a broken ncck. at the foot of the lad-der. I have heard ail the theories, but 1 cannot reconcile them with Hie fact . How could I have Imagined it? I did not know then who was Inside the wall.

1 am not a spiri t ist , but once In every man's life comes to him the one experience which lie can explain by no law of nature a s he unders tands them.

To every man bis ghost, and to me. mine.

In the dim light of the red lamp, dead though lie was behind the panel, I will swear that I saw Cameron, alias Simon Bethel, standing at the foot of the s ta i rs and looking up.

Chapter IV

Who are we to Judge him? It a man sincerely believes that there ts no death, the taking of life to prove It must seem a trivial thing.

He may feel, and from his book manuscript hastily hidden behind the wall of the den we gather he did feel, thnt the securi ty of Hie individual counted aa nothing against the proof of survival to the human race.

But that he was entirely sune. In those last months, none of us can be-lieve. Cruelty Is a symptom of the borderland between sanity and mad-nes s ; so. too. Is tbe weakening of what we call the Herd Instinct. It Is well known at the University that for the year previous to his death he had been distinctly anti-social.

Certainly, too, be fulfilled the axiom that insanity Is the exaggeration of one particular mental acllvity. And that he combined this single exagger-ation with a high grade of inteiligonce only proves the close relation be-tween madness and gen ius : Kant, nn-able to work unless gazing at a ruined tower ; Hawthorne, cut t ing op his bils of pape r ; Wagner 's periodical vio-

l e n c e ! Tbe very audacity of bis disguise,

the consistency with which he lived the part be was playing points to what I believe Is called dissociat ion; toward the last there seems to have been a genuine duality of personal i ty: during the day old Simon Bethel, dragging bis helpless foot and without effort holding his withered hand to Its spast ic cont rac t ion ; at night, the active Cameron, making his exits on his nocturnal adventures by the gun-room window; wandering afoot incred-ible d i s iances ; watching the door of Gordon's room and locking him In ; learning f rom me of Halllday's inter-est In the case, and trying to burn hira o u t ; very early realizing the embar-rassment. of my own presence nt the Lodge, and warning me away by tha t letter from Salem. Ohio.

It seems clear that he had not ex-pected me at the Lodge; Larkln ap-parently fold Gordon, but Gordon neg-lected to inform nitn. .lust what he felt , what terror and anger, when 1 greeted him at tbe bouse on his ar-rival will never be known. I remem-ber now how be watched me. peering up nt me through his disguising spec-tncies. with the beef cube in his hand, and waiting. Waiting.

But the disguise held. My own very slight acquaintance with him, my near-sightedness, my total lack of sus-picion, all were In his favor. And of the perfection of the disguise. It i i enough to say thai Gordon apparent ly never suspected IL He did suspect the paralysis.

"He moved Ids a rm today," he wrota once. In the diary. " H e knows I saw It, and he has watched me ever since."

"It t akes very little to change an ap-pearance beyond casual recognition." Haliiday tells me. "The Idea is to take a few Important points and sub-st i tute their oppositea. Take a man with part ial para tys ia ; one side of bis face drops, yon s e e Weil, he can' t Imitate that , but be con put a fig In tlie other cheek and raise i t Put ha i r on a bald-beaded man. and watch the change.

SOME GOOD DISHES

Every day somebody Is discovering some new way lo use the delightful

orange. Try pour-ing a half cupful of the Juice over a chicken when it is roasting or even In the fry-ing pan ; it will add much to its flavor.

Kidney Stew.—For those who enjoy kidneys, this dish will appeal to tbe appetite. Cut one pound of kidneys in half and soak an hour In cold salt-ed water . Trim and skin. Cut Into small pieces, place In a saucepan, cover with boiling water and bring to a boll, drain, dash on cold water . Roil In Hour and brown In butter. Arid salt , pepper, four medium-sized onions and four medium-sized pota-toes, diced; cover with boiling water and cook until all are tender. When well done-add one-fourth of a cupfu l of evaporated milk and a tablespoon-ful -f lemon Juice.

Date Muffins.—Take two cupfuia of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking pow-der, one teaspoonful of salt, two tnbiespoonfuls of sugar , one egg, one cupful of milk, two tnbiespoonfuls of melted fa t , three-fourtha of a cupful each of cornmeal and wheat flour. Mix and ndd one-half a package of sliced dates and bake in hot muflln puns.

Baked Apple S u r p r i s e . - W a s h and core six apples. Mix one-fourth of a cupful each of chopped dates and nuts, one teaspoonful of cinnamon and one-frMirth cupful of brown sugar.

Sprinkle with a s ta lk of chopped cel-ery and two small onions, also chopped. Add one and one-half cup-fuls of vegetable water , cover and cook one hour.

When one has a cold there Is often an excess of a d d in Hie system. That is the reason we use so much lemon-ade. However, o range Juice Is as good a remedy and much more enjoy-able to take In quantit ies. Ci t rus f rui ts of any kind a re advisable In all eases of aridity.

Seasonable Foods.

First Aid— Home Remedy Week

The Good Samari tan tlgures in the 1929 "Firs t Aid—Home Remedy Week" nnd is designated ns the "First Fi rs t Aid." Th is annual merchandising festival a r r ives with St. Pat r ick 's Day, continues March 17-23 nnd marks the eighth anniversary of the plan dedicated to Drugdom by Ster-ling Products. Incorporated, In 1922 und Immediately sponsored by the National Association of Retail Drug-gists. Seeing the great advert ising nnd sales possibilities In the plan nnd Its helpfulness to humanity, the Na-tional Wholesale Druggists ' Associa-tion has swung behind it with the en-thusiast ic suggestion tha t druggis ts use local newspapers, nnd providing them with suggestive advert is ing copy lied to the National slogan, "Fill Tha t Medicine Chest Now!"

Coming nt a t ime when housewives a re thinking of house , cleaning, t he command has added psychological sales value. Secretary S. C. Henry of the N. A. R. D.t out of long ex-perience s a y s : "No one knows be t te r than the average retail druggist how much needless suffering there Is be-cause most people a r e neglectful in the mat te r of making provision for the hour of need which Is s u r e t o come when sudden Illness or unfore-seen accident calls for immediate at-tention."

"Quick Relief Insurance" Is the new deflnitlon of Firs t Aid—Home Remedy Week s objective and Is thus bringing the nation's "Heal th Serv-ice Stat ions" into closer every day life.

Both Sexes Succumb to Lure of Mirrors

It was quite Incomprehensible, though, why such a mob clustered about the window of a little shop In a side s treet that otherwise was almost depopulated.

The window, It was discovered, con-tained nothing but mlrrnra—big mir-rors. little mirrors, ar t is t ic mlnrora, funny mirrors.

The specta tors were coeds, nnd the women did not outnumber the men, ei ther. Girls were flourishing lip-st icks and rouge, men were ad jus t ing ties nnd studying different expressions of their faces. One man was very plainly flirting—through a pre t ty mir-ror in the center of the window—with n pret ty girl at the oilier end of the window.—New York Sun.

WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating aickneas ha t not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical Ooliego in 1876, nor since he placed on the market the laxative preicription he had used in hi t practice.

He treated constipation, biliousneeo, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, •our itomach and other indispoeitions entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are atill the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a combination of wana and other mild herbs, with pepsin.

The sunpier the remedv for constipa' tion, the safer for the child and for you. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, why taxe chances with •trong drugs?

Two ancient belts, said to have been used by St. Patrick and other Irish saints. Now preserved in the Na-tional museum in Dublin.

B y E L M O S C O T T W A T S O N

1,1, of us know thnt March

A 17 Is St. Pat r ick 's day mid most of us. whether we be of Irisli ancestry or not. celebrate the day In some fashion or other. We may do It by adding a touch of green to our costume on that day or by wearing a little shamrock In our coat lapel, for both the green and the shamrock are sym-

bols of St. Pat r ick 's day. But how many of us know Just why we cele-b ra te the day or how much t ru th the re is in Hie mass of legendary lore which has gathered around the name of this man who for ages uas been regarded as the patron saint of all I r ishmen?

In the first place, many people have the Idea that March 17 is celebrated as the anniversary of his birth. It is. however, the anniversary of his death, and Is his feas t day Instead of his bir thday. There Is dispute as to the f ac t s of the dates of his birth and dea th . According to some, he was born about .187 A. D. nnd died about 493 A. D., making him one hundred

years of a^e at his drtith. Others asser t positively that lie died about 401 A. D., although all afiree that March 17 was the date of his death.

Then there Is the mat te r of h is nationali ty and the place of his birth. The latter Is variously given as Scot-land. England nnd France, with the strongest evidence pointing to his hav-ing been born at a place caleld Kil-patrlck near Dumbarton on the River Clyde In Scotland, although It Is pret-ty definitely established tha t he was of Celt ancestry. Although he Is called St. Patr ick, there a re those who would cast doubt upon his right to tha t title by saying that he was never canonized and proclaimed a saint In Rome. But the fact tha t he has al-ways been venerated as the chief sa int of the Irish church nnd has been Indirectly recognized as a saint hy the Church of Rome Itself Is regarded as ample reason f o r his title.

The association of the shamrock with this saint 's day Is perhaps famil-ia r to all—how Patrick, bringing the message of Christ ianity to the pagan, t r ibes of Ireland and realizing that they did not understand the Tr ini ty of God—God tbe Father , God tbe Son and God the Holy Ghost—, picked up f rom the ground a t iny plant and showed them this example of the per-fec t Trinity, th ree leaves on one stem. Ever since tha t time the shamrock h a s been the tradit ional emblem of SL Patrick and of the Irish race, but according to botanists no one can be s u r e Just what was the plant which St. Patr ick used to I l lustrate his teachings and which has since been known as the shamrock. Some assert t ha t It was the common white clover, na t ive to nearly all pa r t s of northern Europe and northeastern United States, which is sometimes called the Dutch clover.

"The Dutch clover Is only one can-didate for the honor of being the Irish national plant ," says a wri ter In the New York World. "That It Is a s trong candidate with much in its favor Is i l lustrated by the fact tha t the Ency-clopedia Brltannlca comes out flat-footed and says It Is the t rue sham-rock. But the wood sorrel and the black medic, or hope clover, a r e not f a r behind, and such careful s tuden ts a s David Moore nnd Stewart and Corry admit thai the question Is by

no means settled to satisfy all. "As for this country, the wily florist

can sell almost any una l l member of the clover family to credulous Hiberni-ans. If it is green and has th ree leaves, he can label it 'shamrock' and be sure that it will not remain on Ills shelves a f t e r March 17."

Several years ago a Dublin news-paper addressed a qupstlonnalre to a large number of representat ive men In Ireland for the purpose of obtain-ing their views on the Identity of the shamrock. Nearly all of the replies favored white clover.

This plant, known to botanists as Trlfollum repens, would seem to tit admirably the tradit ional role tha t has been ascribed to it. It occurs ev-erywhere in Ireland, In pastures, in lawns and along roadsides. From late spring until early winter i ts leaf, made up of three leaflets, and Its cheery blossoms, whi te with a touch of red or brown, growing in masses close to Hie ground, may everywhere be seen.

Although n wild plant. It en te r s prominently Into the life and well-be-ing of the Irish people. Ireland is predominantly nn agricul tural coun-try. The dominant character is t ic of Its agriculture is the raising of live stock on pastures. The best pas tu res a re those in which the wild white clover Is most abundant .

As a result of experiments curried on not only In Ireland but also in England. Scotland and other countr ies of northern Europe, It Is now gen-erally recognized thnt applications of lime and some material carrying phos-phoric acid are almost sure to In-crease the growth of white clover in the pasture nnd thereby ndd to Its carrying capacity.

In our own country, too, the same white clover is of importance. Soon a f t e r .he pioneer cleared the land of forest trees, white clover began to work Into his grass lands. So uni-versal was this tha t the Indians re-ferred to the plnnt as the "white man's foot grass." Wherever the white man set his foot, the whi te clover grew. Today it is a prominent and valuable part of our pastures and Its myriad white blossoms dot our grass lands devoted to lawns, pa rks and golf courses. Thus does tradi-tion touch modem life.

One of the most charming legends connected with St. Patr ick Is t he as-sociation of his name with that of St. Brlgld. and James Stephens, nn Irish-man who Is n noted writer, tells that story In the New York Times ns fol-lows :

Tr imming the Expense

A man and his wife were interested in u machine and were about to buy when the salesman decided to emphn-size the merits of His car . l ie dwelt on the many outs tanding features, and lo end his talk he added.

" W e will put the Initials of the own-er on in special design."

Tlie wife hurriedly pulled her bus band aside and excla imed:

"John, (hin t let him do that because I have heard that It is the Initial cost of a car that is the greatest ."

PrimitiTe Peoples

Certain tribes of the Kalahari des e r t buslunen are said to bury tbeli sick while .slill alive, because liieit religious beliefs forbid the touching of human corpses. Another tr ibe has been found In the same section which was too low In the scale of clvlllza tlon even to build huts to live In. pre ferrlng to live in the holes made by antbears. which they enlarge b.\ scooping out earth.

Watch their Weight Increase" Says One of America's Greatest Children's Physicians...

(( When you serve children This Wonderful Health Food

i ^ l T ' A R O syrup is the ideal food for the under-J V weight child," writes an eminent children's physician.

And he explains why:

Two tablespoonfuls of Karo in a glass of milk improves its taste and doubles the food value of the milk.

There are 120 calories per ounce in Karo — which means Karo is a great energy food — containing nearly double the energy value of eggs

and lean beef, weight for weight.

W h a t is good fo r chi ldren is splendid for the entire family.

Keep Karo on the table—serve plenty of it—on pancakes, biscuits, waffles.

F. W. C O C H R U N

The coiunnmlty copmittees of tin1

service nnd henltU Clover Leaf Club

had charge (if the very Inlerestiug pro gram that was given lust Monday even ing at the home of Mrs. (Jrace Shonp. The situation which was discussed from the physical education stiindpoint w|H very timely, inasmuch as Coloma lit to have a new school and physical education should be given due thought. Mrs. Belle Koob gave a very good pa-per on "Corrective Work in Physical Education," nnd Mrs. Anna Oelsler ills-cussed "Physical Education as an Aid to Health." Mrs. Vogt led an interest ing questionaire on Annapolis, bringing out facts and figures that should be known. A group of old stings, cleverly arranged, added a unique feature to the program. During the business session the program committee presented an outline for next year's work. The hos-tess served light refreshments.

The lecture on the Holy Land, which was given by Prof. Harry Ostrander. under the auspices of the Coloma (Jar-den Club, last Friday evening, was very well received hy an appreciative audi-ence. Handpalnted slides and motion pictures, comhlned with the pleasing manner in which i'rof. Ostrander took his audience with him on his pilgri-mage to Palestine. Jerusalem and Beth-lehem. made a very delightful and en-tertaining program. Delightful musical numbers were also given which added to the pleasure of the evening. '•Silent Night" was rendered as a piano solo by Elizabeth Ostrander. adding a bit of realism to the lovely pictures. Mrs. Peter Dlenbart sang in a clear soprano voice, "The Holy City", lu keeping wltb the subject of the evening. She was accompanied by Mrs. Beverley at the piano.

COLOMA DRAMATIC C L I O

SCORED ANOTHER* S I CCESS

"liinke Doodle Town" Most .Successful-ly Presented Last Friday Evening

A capacity audience greeted the dra-matic club of the Community church last Friday evening when they pre-sented their musical comedy sketch. 'Hinke Doodle Town." given a t the Coloma theatre, and which proved u pleasing change from the usual com-edy drama. The continual bursts of applause from the audience showed that the presentation was meeting with approval. It would be Impossible here to do Justice to each individual char acter as all tilled their parts most •redltahly. The choruses were p a r ^ ularly well sung, with the hearty ibandon and Joyous enthusiasm so characteristic of such entertainments. An attractive little plot ending in Ihe usual felicitous manner kept everyone Interested. Everyone left the theatre feeling satisfied and happy with Ihe ev-ening's entertainment. The net pro-ceeds were a little over ?1IM).

I t Is estimated that a driver's li-cense law, with standardized examina-tions given to new automobile drivers would cut automobile fatalities 20 per cent.

A few facts and figures about the cost of a lownshlp-owned lire truck for Coloma township will not come amiss, now that there Is so much agitation ibout the purchase of a truck for the township. William Umphrey, who has rurnlshed the only lire protection that the rural residents have had for sev-eral years, gives the following figures. The truck that he proiwses to furnish the township cost him $4,305 when new. He now proposes to sell the same to Ihe township for $2,500 and guarantees the outfit to be In as good condition as when new. The cost of storage, gas and oil for a month is estimated at $40. and It has cost Mr. Umphrey tho sum of $7.60 to answer each lire call, tak-ing live men to light the lires.

The Norton well, which has been drilled for oil near Decatur by J. R. Baker, Is reported to have run Into gas sand at 17(ks|^ feet and to have contin-ued In gas sand for 20 feet. It Is esti-mated that the well would produce seven million feet of gas a day from this gas sand a f t e r the water is taken '>IT. Three million feet of gas a day makes a good paying gas well, It is said.

One of the worst March blizzards that has visited this county In almost n decade was that of Wednesday night nnd Thursday of last week, when the mercury took a drop of about 50 de-j grees In sixteen hours. The drop In the temperature was accompanied by I a strong northwest gale which did con-1 slderable damage In some localities. I The telephone companies suffered from the loss of poles and wires, und tele-graph lines were temporarily put out of business. Some buildings were un-roofed nnd some trees damaged by the high wind.

Lansing Bureau. March 0, 1020. Relief came Friday morning to the

dry Interests when the House passed the Cuibertson bill which puts teeth into the prohibition laws aud makes them workable and enforceable, while making u dlscriminution between minor offenders ugalnst the laws and the mercantile moonshiner und bootlegger i'he latter class still comes under the life sentence proposition for fourth con-victions. The measure now goes to the Senate for Its approval. In insisting upon life Imprisonment for bootleggers, the house considerably softened tbe hill as It relates to non-commerclul pos session of liquor. Upon motion of Rep. Gns T. Hartman, Houghton, amend-ments wore ut Inched which limit the llve-yeur penalty to persons found guilty of possession, transportation or manufaci "re "for sale." The life sen-tence thus may be evoked only against bootleggers If the house action stands.

Another amendment by Rep. Hart-man eliminated a dwstlc provision de-manding that Ihiuor law violators be tried both under the state and federal laws.

Innumerable propositions for raising revenues are coming up in both houses and the memliers of the llnance com mitfee of the Senate and the ways and means committee of the House are working overtime In their endeavors to sort out the most tangible and workabli of the measures. The chances for any special tax grows less and less as the days go by. unless It may be something along the line of licensing of bill boanh ..r some removal of certJiln special se clirltles and properties from taxation exemption. Any such proposition im mediately has some enthusiastic sup .oi l. but it takes quite a bunch of votes

There was a lot of machine-gun ora ory Thursday forenoon at a publh iicarlng on bible reading in schools and tefore it dosed there was much anlmos ty apparent. The bill Is still in coin nil tee. however, and may stay there.

The Senate has approved of Sen I'urners measure which allows school .oards of cities and villages to borrow ip to 50 per cent of anticipated tax re urns, in any year, in case the money

is urgently needed for building con •ifructlon or additions, or other emer gency.

The Senate has passed the ("onion neasure providing for a special tax •ommission. The bill carries an appro •iriation not to exceed for ex •HMises of the commission. The measure iiad the unanimous vote ol the Senate

Sen. Lennon proposes a tobacco tax of $1.50 per ItKM) on cigarette and "i per cent fax on all other forms of to hacco. the money to be used to reduce the general property tax. The measure receives more hearty support from the smokers of the legislature, apparently than from tbe abstainers. The collec lions would be made from the whole salers. which would simplify collec ilons and reduce collection expenses

The administration furnished mem hers early in the week with a report if expenditures made by authority of the state administrative board during the past two years. The report shows that the board made authorizations of about $2,500,000 for the period of a year and a half, of which something over a million had been expended. Rep-resentative DeLand, former secretary of state, and who Is bitterly antl-ad-ministration, sharply criticizes the ac-tion of the administrative board und claims many of the expenditures are not warranted. He wants tbe money spent on legislative authorization rath-er than that of the administrative Itoard, while tbe administration asks that the-sum of one million dollars he provided for the board to expend at Its llscretion, as an emergency fund. Rep. Culver has introduced a bill which would do away with the state admin-istrative board.

A concurrent resolution Introduced by Rep. Warner would put up to a referendum the pioposltlon of redls-trictlng tbe state on a basis of citizen-ship ra ther than of population. The measure had Its principal objectors from the metropolltlan districts, but several of the Wayne representatives voted for It and It luissed the House hy a vote of »KI to 11. There are about 1000.000 aliens lu tbe state aud It Is mId that fully half of them are In Wayne county.

Speaker Ming's amusement fax pro-position is still held In the House ways ;ind means committee, but Mr. Ming <ays that it will be amended and brought out later, with the proposition that the revenue thus obtained should ,'o to the relief of the poorer school dis trlcts.

The House Tuesday passed an nppro-prlatlon 1»1I1 of $200,000 for advertising the state, to lie spent In a 50-50 plan by the tourist and resort associations of the state. The measure bad already had the approval of thc Senate. The House also passed a conservation meas-ure Introduced by Rep. Snrgeant. in-creasing the salary of the director of conservation from $5,000 to $7,500.

A bill re-enacting the teachers' re-tirement fund law passed the House Tuesday. As It had already been ap proved by the Senate the bill now awaits only Ihe signature of the gover-nor.

A public hearing on the Lennon gar-nishment bill, which bad been ap proved by the Senate, wns held In the House chamber Wednesday before the judiciary committee. There was a large attendance and the hearing consumed all the forenoon. Retnll merchants of the state are the most bitter opponents of the measure.

Town Refuses lo Move

"Column Wi th a Curse1

Augusta. Ga.—Sentiment which for 40 years has allowed "the column with a curse" to stand In tbe middle of a sidewalk, won out recently when a paving program made practicable tlie removal of the queer relic of a tornado's fury.

The column, once the pillar of the city market house, has stood at Broad and Center streets ever since a tornado hit Augusta In 1878. Old citizens say that an Itinerant min-ister, claiming the gift of prophecy, predicted that the old market house would be destroyed the day after his sermon. He declnred that but one of the big pillars supporting the market house would be left standing and de-clared that any attempt to move the pillar would he fatal ; that the per-son who tried It would be struck by lightning.

As it happened, a tornado hit this town the next day and only one pillar of the market house wus left stand-ing. Some years ago city officials said the pillar would have to be de-stroyed to permit certain street re-pairs. A large number of workmen carried the pillar about 50 feet. There was an explosion and they dropped It. And today the pillar stands where the workmen dropped It when some practical joker exploded a firecracker.

Mrs. Mary Altl has filed suit iu thc circuit court for separate maintenance from Mike Altl. She charges that lit has mistreated her and lieaten her up repeatedly and that he squanders his money, and she asks that an Injunction be granted restraining him from with drawing his money from the bunk or selling his properly, pending the out conic of her suit.

|cruelty. She said he struck her and ] cursed her and she was compelled to leave him In September of 1028. They were nuirrled January 11. 1008. They

] have ot# son, Delbert, age 10.

Mrs. Kdna Knight of Buchanan | filed a bill for divorce against her hus-band. Nathan J. Knight, on grounds of

I non-support. They were married Au-| gust 2, 1027, and have no children. The bill of complaint charged that Knight

I does uot support bis wife and that other women visit him at their home

1 while Mrs. Knight Is at work.

Bert A. Johnson of Benton Harbor I has tiled a suit asking that his mar-riage to Mrs. Millard Garrard Johnson, which occurred a few months ago, be annuled. Johnson states that the mar-riage was performed before his wife

j was legally divorced from a former husband.

shaft that moves along Ihe famou precision produclton lines of Ihe Nash plants leaves a small residue of dia-mond llllngs behind It. This precious dust Is worn away from the diamonds used In "truing up" the grinding stones for each seven Itearlng crankshaft that Is turned out.

Throughout Nash factories, thous-ands of dollars worth of diamonds arc used In the various operations requir-ing absolute accuracy. These stones— the hardest substance known to man— are dark in color and possess high | commercial value only, but they a re protected and cared for a s jealously as any twinkler in a society jewel case. I When tbe new stones are selected by Nash experts, they are weighed and their chnraeterlstlcs and history are I listed on regular forms, which a re filed 1 in Ihe well guarded safes. Each day. Ihe stones are checked out to factory workers, and each evening they are I carefully checked Into the vaults again. | Their records resemble the Bertllllon | system In completeness and detail.

Allhoifgh the use of diamonds Is Juit one of many special precision methods {

mployed along the famous Nash | tralght-llne production system, their i

functions and handling constitute one | if the most Interesting and at the same line little known operations In the fas-Inallng process wlilch turns raw ma-erial to finished cars In the great fac-orles. The stones, some of them rang-

ing from one to six karats and cut to; varying edges as required, are mounted in removable steel bars which tit Into the grinding stone assemblies or in ther machinery where the hardest cul-

ling edge Is demanded. In turning out he crankshafts, the grinding stones—

themselves much harder than s t e e l -must be absolutely true at all times. Thus, when each "400" crankshaft Is completed to Its required perfection, the stone must be made true. It Is tlien that the diamond is employed by (•x|M'rt workmen.

Another vital function of these stones Is the precise Iwrlng of piston holes. Their dimensions must be true to one teii-thoiisaudth of an Inch, and their character defies precision tools of less-er strength than the diamond.

As the stones wear away to sizes too mall for the shop t<»oIs, they a re dis-

mounted and broken up for use In the harder pullshlng processes. The dust Is scattered Into receptacles filled with olive oil and the bigger dlnmond parti-cles tiller through to the bottom while the finer dust floats on the top. The dust thus graded Is salvaged carefully and used in polishing mixtures.

wood posts at first but outlast 4 or 5 ordinary wood posts. Their final cost is about one-half that of wood posts.

You drive in a Red Top Post once—'m much less time than it takes to set a wood post. But you replace an ordinary wood post 4 or 5 times to serve equally as long as one Red Top. Figure the waste in post setting time for yourself.

You use odd times to drive Red Top Posts because Red Tops can be driven any time in the year regardless of soiJ conditions but wood posts must be set in the Spring taking valuable time from other work.

Red Tops are cheaper to install. One man using the One Man Driver can drive 200 to 300 posts

State Geologist Holds

Out Hope for

Muskegon Oil Men

Believes Standard Oil Co. Wants To

Secure Control of Oil Wells.

Sulphur content In oil from the Dun-dee sand In Michigan does not present a stupendous problem for the refiners and will not necessarily depreciate value of the oil. In the opinion of R. A. Smith, state geologist. Smith has maintained close touch with tests lielng conducted by the University of Michi-gan and U. S. bureau ot mines labora-tories.

This optimistic report on progress In analyzing Muskegon oils was accompa-nied by a strong Intimation that the Standard OU company's refusal of fur-ther shipments from Muskegon, except-ing at a greatly reduced price, may have been the descent of a two-edged sword aimed at the "little fellows" In tbe producing end.

First. Smith suggested. Standard OU may have figured the bomb they threw Into the Muskegou camp would start a panic that would result In easy acqui-sition of controlling rights In the Held. Second, It offered them opportunities to buy cheap crude oil during the turmoil. He added, however, that the sulphur content of the oU probably Is sufficient

DKPABTMENT OF CONSERVATION

I KGES FEEDING OF BIRDS

Lansing. March 2—Although winter Is passing, Michigan's winter birds still face a "pinch period," and suffering or losses are apt to b« freatest Just before real spring weather comes. The game division of the Conservation Depart-ment is urging citizens not to abandon their winter feeding program when the first spring thaws come.

During the early part of a winter the ground feeders such as quail and pheasants may find a food supply in the waste grains remaining In the fields following harvest. As this supply is eliminated by reason of snow and ice covering tbe ground, tbe birds will of-ten turn to unhusked corn shocks lu the fields. Hut during the winter most of these corn shocks are hauled away and usel up and the birds may l>e forced to find their food among the tall-grow-ing weeds, such as burdock, teasel, rag-weed and milkweed. As the winter ad-vances, however, the storms will loosen and scatter much of this scant food supply so that by the end of February tbe bulk of tbe weed patches have very little left which tbe birds can use, and If the birds are not fed by friendly humans, many may perish within a few-days.

Signs of serious trouble were evident before the end of February. Through many of the southern counties quail were coming lu to tbe farm feed-lots and were hanging about tbe barns and strawstacks. Pheasants were bunch-ing up In the few remaining fields where corn shocks remained unhusked.

Last fall tbe department broadcasted a little circular on winter feeding ata-tions for game birds und a supply Is still available for distribution. The de-partment would like to get In touch with everybody who has been work-ing with such feeding stations so as to compare notes and plan for more such work next winter.

girl to the 'family and father came smiling to the breakfast table to an-nounce to the four assembled small ones, Sam, Sally, Lois and 0«v|d. that there wus a tiny new piste# jpp-atalrs.

Four small, grave faces turned to him, as he said cheerfully: " I sn t It great to have five children? A big family Is so much mqre fun thso a small one. 1 don't believe there la a happier family anywhere than onrt."

"There's the orphans' home," aald five-year-old Lois thoughtfully.

Oil Man Gave Talk at Decatur.

G. C. Uhodehamel president of the Wolverine 011 and Exploration Syndi-cate. that Is planning an extensive oil exploration venture in the vicinity of Decatnr, addressed nn attendance of over 200 people In a recent public meet-ing at tbe Decatur Theatre.

Some of tbe Important and Interest-ing points brought out by the speaker were these: Developing oil fields Is a gigantic enterprise brought to a practi-cal science and profitable business. I t Is engaged In by men of great wealth and high character who have found It both profitable nnd nttractlve. Tbe eyes of tbe oil world are turned to Michigan. It Is confidently expected that Michi-gan will become one of the most val-uable oil producing states of the union, icologlcal conditions Indicate that un-

der the surface of southwestern Michi-gan nre Innumerable pools of high grade oil so near to tbe surface that It can be obtained at a comparatively low expense.

Mr. Uhodehamel Ulustrnted his talk with drawings of the earth's formation, showing how oil Is collected In pools and where It Is likely to be found.

He said his company Is prepared to spend $100,000 in exploring for oil In western Michigan . When nsked if all if tbe money would be spent in the De-

catur territory, he replied that that would depend upon the ability of tbe company to obtain leases and the suc-cess of the drilling undertaken.

Indian Decoration Day An annual Decoration day. In both

name and deed. Is observed by lower Vukon river Indians. Fifteen families of Indians from Nulato and other vll lages met at Koyuruk, Alaska, to ful fill a queer custom, that of erecting houses over the graves of those who died the past year.

The shelters of the old graves were given a fresh coat of highly colored paint Many of the unique mauso leums are constructed wltb skill and enre, have windows, floors nnd rugs •itber articles such as were used b\ the departed ones. Food and drink are renewed each year during the potlatch following Decoration day.

Every western Alaskan Indian tribe hns some different method of protect-ing the spirits of departed ones.

HOOVER MAKES CALL FOR EXTRA SESSION

F a r m , T a r i f f Rev i s ion to Be

T a k e n U p A p r i l 15.

Washington .—rres ldent Hoover Is-sued Ills first proclaniiition calling into ext raordinary session nt twelve o'clock noon on April l.» tlie Scvonly-lirst congress for action on f a r m re-lief, limited tariff revision and such other urgent business as the Chief Executive may place before it.

Tlie proclamation by its phrase-ology calls for " f u r t h e r agricul tural relief and legislation for limited changes in the tarilT." but does not restr ict the session to those two sub-jects since the early par t of the pre-amble s ta tes that public interest re-iiuircs a special session to receive such communication as the Pres iden t may submit (o it.

The text of the proclamation is a s follows:

"By the Tresident of the United States of Amerlcn, a proc lamat ion:

"Whereas, public Interests requ i re that the congress of ihe United Sta tes should bo convened In extra session' at twelve o'clock noon on tho IHth day uf April, lirjp, to receive such com-munication as may be made by the Kxecutlve:

"And. whereas, legislation to effect fu r the r agricultural relief and legisla-tion for limited changes of the tariff cannot In Justice to our fa rmers , ou r labor and our manufac ture rs be post-poned ;

"Now, therefore, T. Herber t Hoover, President of the United Sta tes of America, do hereby proclaim and de-clare that an extraordinary occasion requires the congress of the United States to convene in extra session a t Ihe f a p i t o l in the City of Washington on the 15th day of April, IIKIO, a t twelve o'clock noon, of which all per-sons who shall at tha t t ime be enti t led to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice.

"In witness whereof I have here-unto set my hand and caused to be afllxed the great seal of the United States .

"Done nt the City of Washington this seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hun-dred and twenty-nine, and of the United States the one hundred and flfty-thlrd.

"Herber t Hoover, "By the P res iden t : -» .» • "Frank B. Kellogg, "Secretary of State." The Itepubiican majori ty In tho

house will be Increased in the special and regular sessions of the Seventy-first congress to probably 102. One sent is vacant and another is in doubt, although both may be lilled with Dem-ocrats. The membership is divided between 207 Republicans and 105 Dem-ocrats. with one Farmer-Labor mem-bor. Itepubiican leaders have deter-mined to use their great major i ty to support President Hoover's policies. They also will increase the Itepubii-can membership on committees, par-ticularly the important ones, to a ma-jori ty of 2 to 1, giving those commit-tees with 21 members 14 Ilepublicnns and seven Democrats. A Democratic vacancy on the ngriculture committee has been tilled by Ihe appointment of Representat ive Elbert S. Brlgham, Republican, Vermont.

President Hoover the past week re-ceived tlie pledges of leading Demo-cratic members of the senate commit-tee on foreign relat ions to Ihe effect tha t they would support any action ho may t ake to make America a member of the World court.

P r e s i d e n c y Los t G lo ry

W h e n Coo l idge ' s K i n Died New York.—Calvin Coolldge has

made his debut as a wri t ing ex-Pres-ident. An article entitled "On Enter-ing and Leaving the PresUency," by Mr. Coolldge appeared In the current Cosmopolitan. *

The article covers approximately the period of Mr. Coolldge s Incum-bency as President during the com-pletion of Warren G. Harding 's term of office.

The death of Mr. Coolidge's son Calvin and of his fa ther occupy a large place In the article. At the time these events occurred Mr. Coolidge's feeling with respect to them were largely concealed under the mask of his official duties. Not so now.

In telling of his accession to the Presidency and his subsequent elec-tion to that office, Mr. Coolldge ex-pressed a distinctly humble opinion of Ids own qualifications. The large part played by "Coolldge economy" Is In n measure explained by his recital of the pr imary Interest In economic sub-jects which he maintained throughout his public life.

Flood Control and Buildings Blamed for Increase.

Washing ton—Expend i tu res of Sl.-003,554,:i42, authorized for the main-tenance of ihe government by Ihe ses-sion of the Seventieth congress recent-ly closed wore reputed to have sot a new high level for expenses In peace time. The appropr ia t ions fo r 1030, however. Include many ext raordinary amounts such as flood control, $75,-000,000 for tax refunds, $85,000,000 more for the two-year public build-ings program all over the country, and others .

Except for normal increases be-cause of governmental expansion. It was s ta ted by officials, the expenses are keeping on nn even scale.

Funds for next yea r are about $35,-000,000 more than tho appropria t ions for the current fiscal year of 1028-1020. Thus, with tho extra money furnished for federal projects, this sum makes the increase comparative-ly small. This Increase, It w a s point-ed out, would have been considerably less if Ihe bureau of the budget fig-ures had been adhered to.

For the first t ime since the Cool-ldge administrat ion took oflice, the appropriat ions of congress exceeded the bureau 's al lowances by about $0,-500,000. This was done In the face of repeated warn ings f rom the White House and from Dr. Herber t M. Lord of the budget.

On the basis of the t r easury figures, however, house and senate leaders hope tha t a deficit will be escaped. There are scores of private bills, how-ever, which appropr ia te money not figured by fhe committee on appropri-at ions of tiie house. If the re should he a difference between appropria t ions nnd the revenue, It will probably re-sult f rom these Items, r a t h e r than f rom the gain In routine nppropria-tlons

Including funds for flood control In Ihe Mississippi valley and for other non-military activities, the appropria-tion for Ihe War depar tment amount-ed to $435,080,302, an Increase of about $55,000,000 over Inst year . For the Navy depar tment , fhe npproprla-tion for 1030 runs to $300,230,007, a reduction of some $2,000,000. This Is as ide from $12,000,000 for the begin-ning of construction on the 15-cruiser program. A s h a r p increase was that for the Post Oflice depar tment , which Jumped from $704,000,000 to $841,005,-220.

In contrast , the appropriat ions this year are those of thc war-time con-gresses. In 1018, approximately $10,-000,000.000 was spent by the govern-ment, and for 1010, the peak of all times, tlie appropria t ions went beyond $27,000,000,000 fo r fhe year .

Washington.—Prompt approval by the senate of the new members of the cabinet, whose names were sent in by President Hoover, was followed by a long drawn-out Wrangle over permit-t ing Sec ie fa ry of the Treasury Mellon to remain in ofll-e.

A resolution WoA adopted without a loll call direct ing the Judiciary committee to invest igate several phases of the Mellon si tuation. One of these is whether a cabinet member can hold over wi thout being renom-inated, a f t e r the Pres ident who named him has passed out of office. The re a re precedents, as a ma t t e r of fact , tha t a cabinet member can.

Another point which the senate di-rected the judic iary committee to look Into Is whether Mr. Mellon can legally hold office in view of the fac t tha t , a s a stockholder In corporations, he Is Interested in t rade.

The sena te promptly ad journed Its extra session a f t e r passing this resolu-tion, however, and the judiciary com-mittee will not meet again until the ex t ra session for fa rm relief and tar-iff revision meets in April .

No one really expects t ha t any th ing except perhaps some more oratory, Inter In the spring, will come of tlie a t tack on Mr. Mellon. Bu t f rom the ser iousness of the debate, visitors In the galleries might have thought t ha t an Impeachment proceeding was im-minent. As It was, the fu t i l i ty of t h e whole proceeding was so clear t ha t even the f r iends of Mr. Mellon did not bother to oppose adoption of the resolution.

T h e r e was no mention of fhe fact tha t Secretary of Labor J. J . Davis Is holding over wiliout a new nom-ination.

It was noted tha t Albert Gallatin of Pennsylvania lield the office of secre-tary of the t reasury for 12 years and was continued from the administra-tion of Jef ferson to tha t of Madison.
