first appearance in his Office since the

AS a result OF the report OF Buhrer'S
comments OH Robertsons administers
ton, the feeling between the two is
more strained than ever. and there
was no handshake when they met.
Buhrer was sitting In his Office
working at his desk when he noticed
the door between his Office and that
occupied by Robertson go shut with
bang Shortly after the door was
left open by a man passing between,
and again it came shut with a crash.
This annoyed Buhrer, and he said to
his colleague:
IF you want the door between our
Offices closed there is no use banging
il the way you have been doing; 1t
will be better to keep IL closed"
Mr.. Buhrer drew key from his
pocket and locked the door. and II re.
NAMED locked all morning.

ought to be more than sufficient for

Your honorable body may be Inn

must respond To the modern spirit OF
