ments from the Presidents Cabinet
are slated for the coming winter. They
are those Of Attorney-General Moody,

to present intentions, will retire in
February. For one of the vacancies
the President will nominate George

possible to do so. He would also like
to have Secretary Bonaparte take Mr.
Moody's place when the latter retires

ment Of Commerce and Labor, take one

COLOR SENSE IN ANIMALS.
