Coxey, Sr., of Massillon, O., of Coxey’s army fame, under which the government would turn over to Mr. Coxey and Theodore D. Wells, New York naval architect and engineer, 112 idle ves sels to be reconditioned under their direction, the government footing all the bills and issuing treasury notes to the amount of $40,936,000 to pro vide the ready cash. Mr. Coxey ap peared with several men who, he said, were out of work. Members of the committee indi cated that they were not favorably impressed by the proposal. “Why should you be selected out of all our people to get $40,000,000 from the government as you would under this bill?” asked Representative Mins, JNew York, of Mr. (Jox^. “Because the rest of the people didn’t have any vision,” relied Mr. Coxey. Mr. Mills then asked Mr. Coxey if he had ever had any experience in op erating ships. , 9 “No, none,” replied Mr. Coxey. “No more than A. D. Lasker.” 3SS ■ . I- " !

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Army ambulances have been con verted to survey cars for use in road building; water sprinklers changed to machines for spraying whitewash on poles along state highways; bomb proof shelters now house road-making tools and explosives—such are some of the peace-time conversions of sur plus war materials turned over to the states through the Department of Ag riculture, by authority of the congress, and now playing a part in extending and perfecting the national highways. Reports from many states to the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, through which agency the surplus material was distributed, tell of the ingenious and economical uses of these supplies, valued at $50,000,000. Among the chief items thus distributed are nearly 30,000 motor vehicles and nearly $12,- 000,000 worth of spare parts. In their original form, the motortrucks were generally not suited for road construc tion purposes on account of the shape and size of their bodies, which were designed especially for army use, but the majority of the trucks have been Lady«Rhondda, a- British peeress in her own right, has won her suit before the house of lords for the right to sit with the lords by virtue of her peerage. If Lady Rhondda exerts her right to a seat she will be the first woman to occupy a place in the house of lords. Lady Astor, an American, was the first woman to sit In the house of commons. Lady Rhondda holds a command ing position in the British industrial world. She was a daughter of the late Viscount Rhondda, the Welsh “coal king,” and when her father died she succeeded him in his various in terests. She is a director of 30 com panies and is chairman of the boards of several. She has unusual business ability and has been called the Bertha Krupp of England. During thei war she was active in women’s war work and prior to the war was a militant suffragist. She was on the Lusitania when it was torpedoed by the Germans in Muy, ±1)17. Last January Lady Rhondda filed suit in the divorce courts seeking a restitu tion of her conjugal rights against her husband, Sir Humphrey Mackworth. In view of this decision it is believed that all other peeresses in their own right will meet with no difficulty in obtaining places as legislators. There are 20 or more of these peeresses.

Winifred Mason Iluck of Chicago, daughter of the late repre sentative, William E. Mason of Il linois, is a candidate for the Republi can nomination for representative at large from Illinois. She filed peti tions at Springfield for the long term and also to fill the unexplred term of her father. The filings show that there Is a Republican fight, strictly faction al, for the nominations for congress in each of the ten Cook county dis tricts, with the exception of Congress, man Mann’s and Congressman Brit ten’s. If Mrs. Huck wins her seat for the long term it will be a notable victory. The other filings include these: Republican—John J. Brown, Van- dalia; Benjamin Michalek, ‘ Chicago; Henry R. Rathbone, Kenilworth; Rich ard Yates, Springfield. Democratic—Allen D. Albert, Paris; Michael H. Cleary, Galena; P. L. \ oiuns.

Col. Charles R. Forbes, Director of the United States Veterans’ Bureau declares in a statement reviewing the work of this bureau. A total of $1,- 259.930,724.99 has ( been expended by the Government foi* its former service population. “During the time- that the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and the Re habilitation Division of the Federal Board for Vocational Education were in operation and during the five months of existence of the present United States Veteransl Bureau,” the statement said, “1,418,912 claims have been made by veterans, divided as follows: 486,S84 for vocational train ing, 171.875 for insurance, and 760. 153 for death and disability compen sntion." Out of this number, he added, a tutu. ... ooi.iG's om.ms u..u »eeii u.i.<»ed by the bureau, while 472,170 had been disallowed. On December 31, 1921, he said, there were 114,975 claims waiting final adjudication. During 1921, 66,687 \ v> erails reinstated their term insurance and 3,677 reinstated their converted policies, making a total of 70,314. During the same period 76,172 converted 4 tlieir war-time insurance, making a total of 339,167 veterans who still have term policies, with 259.730 having converted insurance policies, a grand total of 598,897 who are still carrying their Government insurance. At the close of the year there were 104,579 veterans receiving vocational •education. According to the medical division report, 28.687 veterans were undergoing hospitalization last December 31.

Idaho has converted the steel am munition bodies into bottom-dump bodies; Maine has removed the cargo bodies from the chassis and changed them into clump bodies by pivoting them near the rear end, and add ing a hoisting device; Arizona has cut the bottoms of the bodies in half from front to back and then used the sides for a new bottom and the two halves of the bottom for the new sides. Near ly all tiie states in which there is a snow problem have utilized a portion of their truck allotment to push snow plows in winter, and many have con verted the trucks into serviceable sprinklers. RUSH OF PRELIMINARY WORK There Will Be No Delay in Highway Construction by Enactment of New Federal (Act. Highway construction will not be delayed by the requirements of the new federal highway act. The federal highway system will consist of roads, not exceeding 7 per cent of the 'total in any state, designated by the state and approved by the secretary of ag riculture. Work is being rushed by all the highway departments on the preparation of maps of the proposed system, but naturally such an impor tant mutter will take some little time and consideration. The government authorities will insist that important through routes meet at state lines which will require conferences be tween authorities of different states. In order that work will not be delayed pending the approval of each state system the secretary of agri culture has amended the rules and regulations for federal aid to permit the immediate construction of such roads as it may reasonably be antici pated will become part of the system. State highway officials are being advised that the anticipated route of which the road to be built is a part should be as long as practicable, pref erably entirely across the state. A map must be submitted showing the route, other possible routes and con necting routes. If this is found sat isfactory the project will be approved for immediate construction. The State of Washington submitted on December 27 the first complete state system, and others are expected in a short time. (Conducted by Naitunul Council ot the Bo> Scouts of America.) DOORS “OPEN FOR 100 YEARS” Gateway Being Erected at Blaine, Wash., to Commemorate Peace Between Countries. Where the new Pacific highway crosses the Canadian border at Blaine, Wash., a gateway is being erected to commemorate 100 years without for- tific'.tion or armies along the 3,000 miles of international boundary. In scribed over the doorways are the j legends. “Open for 100 Years” and I “Mav Ttiese Doors Never Be Closed.” RADIO GREETING TO SCOUTS The Boy Scouts of America cele brated the twelfth anniversary Feb ruary 8 to 14 on a nation-wide scale, its entire membership of over 525,000 scouts and scout leaders rededicatlng themselves to the scout oath and law. Hundreds of rallies, father and son banquets, parades, pageants and other demonstrations were made a part of the observance throughout the country, and the “good turn” was emphasized in a number of practical and impres sive ways. The following message from Presi dent Harding was broadcasted through out the country, reaching practically half a million boys. The message was as follows: / “To the Boy Scouts of America: Con gratulations to the Boy Scouts of Amer ica on their twelfth anniversary, Feb ruary 8. “This anniversary of an organization whose ideal is peace and friendship quite strikingly coincides with the birth of a new hope for world peace and friendship at the recent conference of the nations here in Washington. The responsibilities disclosed by that conference must be met by the men who come after us, and I look with growing confidence to that steadily in creasing number of boys who are ef fectively trained to ‘do tlielr duty to God and their country’ and to help oth er people at all times, as are the Boy Scouts of America and throughout the •world. “WARREN G. HARDING.” Governor Robertson of Oklahoma Is sued a message to boy scouts, which was signaled by relay by four stations over a distance of more than three miles absolutely without grror by scouts of Oklahoma City. Gov. Pat M. Neff of Texas not only took the scout oath, but also made a splendid address on “The Meaning of an Obligation.” • BOY SCOUTS AT NAVALACADEM\ An analysis of the present regi ment at Anhapolis shows that 915 midshipmen have been boy scouts. Of this number 686 have gone as far as second class and 234 to first class rank. Thirty-three have been scout masters. Of the first class scouts, 78 have been patrol leaders, 22 Eagle scouts, 9 Star scouts, and 7 Life scouts. In answer to a questionnaire the following facts were developed: Of the total above mentioned, 466 were of the opinion that their boy scout experience had helped them gen erally in their present life, while 107 state that this experience has de finitely aided them in their academic life. It is the verdict of 217 that scouting had helped them pass their entrance requirements to the academy and of 142 that its training had helped them in adjusting themselves to the discipline and life of the academy. SCOUTS AT BIG CONFERENCE The boy scouts who were given the great honor of being the official pages at the limitation of arms conference acquitted themselves <so admirably that they won praise on ail sides. Lord Riddel, spokesman for the British delegation who, by the way, is the pub lisher of the British magazine, The Boy Scout, was particularly interested in these Washington lads and always stopped to talk with them whenever he got a chance. He Is a great be liever in scouting and thinks it has a wonderful future, based as It Is on friendliness, helpfulness and mutual understanding. “I love our British hoys,” he says, “but they ( are no hand somer, no kinder, nor more courteous than my splendid, manly, young friends of the conference at Washington.” SCOUT GOOD TURNS FROM OKLA A few of the many good turns of the year reported by troops of Mc- Alester, Okla., are as follo'ws: Cut down and burned 260 tent caterpillar nests in Latimer county mountains, repaired two miles of mountain trail for farmers in same mountains, dis tributed literature for Red Cross Public Health Service, Ministerial Al liance, etc.; cleaned up nearly a ton of potential puncture causes from the city streets, collected bundles for poor in house-to-house campaign for Chamber of Commerce and Associated Charities, agitated state-wide demand for cleaner moti<» pictures, helped decorate Masonic temple for meeting of State Women’s clubs, donated Christmas baskets for Salvation army distribution aiming poor. LOOK OUT FOR BIRD FRIENDS Reading (Pa.) scouts are maintain ing feeding stations for birds through out the country, particularly on Mt. Penn and Neversink mountain. They have set up a number of feed houses which they visit every Saturday or Sunday to see that their feathered friends have a sufficient larder. In sev eral cases it was found that these houses had been tampered with, prob ably by careless or willful persons, who do not realize what this provision means to birds duriug the winter Hire Kitchen Cabinet Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. “Give thine own strength to leaders strong, Make workl-wlde brotherhood their aim; Show them the righteous way through wrong, Put nations’ Jealousies to shame. Oh, save us yet In love to live; And at the last, O, God, forgive!” “SWEETS TO THE SWEET” The candy which anyone can make In the,home kitchen is just as delicious and twice as cheap and fully j ns wholesome, If not much more j so, than that bought at the I confectloner’s. !

The mysterious charms of Goethe's song of Mignon, to which Beethoven wrote the music, is that the song is the expression of the same awe struck yearning which wails and thun ders through the music of the master. In the melody alone all the wild vague ness and dim aspiration of the song are manifest, and only because tbe union Is perfect is the impression uni form. Should Wilhelm Meister he lost to literature the tdossorn of Mignon’B life would still bloom in the music.— George William Curtis. You know what calomel Is. It’s mer cury; quicksilver. Calomel Is danger ous. It crashes Into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put Into your system. If you feel bilious, headachy, consti pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which Is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you Just go back and get your money. Don’t take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day’s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Give It to the children because it Is perfectly harmless and can not salivate.—Advertisement. Revolutionizing the Orchestra. Leo Sir, an aged violin maker of Marmande, France, has perfected in struments that may revolutionize the orchestra. At present we use four violin-type instruments, ranging from the soprano violin to the bass viol. M. Sir provides two super-sopranos, a mezzo-soprano slightly above the pres ent alto, barytone just below the tenor and a sub-bass. The newly or ganized orchestra has been tried out at the Montmartre theater and critics declare that the possibilities of inter pretation are wonderfully increased. —Scientific American.
