furnished with the number and names
of the children in each family. Mooty
reported he had eleven children and
the oldest one was Alpha. He had
characteristic names for all the others
but one, the latest arrival, and at the
suggestion of Assistant Superintendent
shaw of the building he named that
one Omega.
When the names were called out at the
celebration Mooty marched his phaIanx
of ten to the front, and when each nao
received his or her present he showed
good sized bundle forward with the an
nouncement. "Hyars Omega She want
her present, too" And Omega got 1t.
Good Record in Department.
Chief Clerk Chance said yesterday that
Mooty was a good. faithful man. strong
in his faith that God has commissioned
him to preach the gospel. When he
rendered his resignation last December
he was urged to reconsider 1t and his
wife was invoked to persuade him. but
her only response was Hes always
taken care of me and am with him, no
matter what he does"
Representative Adamson OF Georgia mas
asked Mr.. Chance to do what he can for
Mooty, and Mr. Chance said yesterday
that he would probably be reinstated.
Mooty comes from Newman, Ga, and his
record at home is as clean as that In the
department, it is said.

The king was very clever in conveying

On one occasion a shootisg party from
Sandringham was out and, as 1t was

Instead of getting angry at this fat
violation of his wishes. the king called
