The President Gains Strength.

Washington, Oct. 21.-While
President Wilson was able today
to formulate message to Secre-
tary Lane for transmission to the
national industrial conference, no
effort was made either by Rear
Admiral Grayson, his physician,
Or by White House officials to
create the impression that the ac-
ton was indicative of a decided
improvement in the president s
condition.
Writing Of the message, how
ever, was pointed to by members
OF the White House staff as fur.
ther refuting reports that Mr..
Wilson was unable to transact
any necessary business that might
require his attention as chief exc
cutlve. 'The situation confront
ing the national industrial con-
terence, or which may face it at
any time through danger of its,
dissolution, was considered as
constituting such a necessity.
While the president, it was said
at the White House, was no worse
today, his condition did not show
any decided change for the bet
Ter as might be inferred from his
increasing activity in government
al affairs.
DIR. Grayson made it plain he
Goes not propose to let the incl
dent Of the message serve as pre-
cedent for lowering the bars to
all who may have affairs of state
10 bring before the patient. The
gradual improvement in the pres
,ldent,s condition has been noted,
put 1T was again emphasized the
daily change is SO slight as to be
almost imperceptible.

Nezperce Girl Makes Record in
Stock Judging.
Miss Gay Robertson, of Nez-
perce, was the only girl who at
tended and took part in all the
stock Judging contests conducted
for the benefit of club members
during the Idaho State Fair at
Boise. She won second place in
dairy cattle Judging, which means
cash premium of $3.50.
Lewis county, being situated far
from Boise, sent only sewing ex-
hibit to the State Fair. However,
the members Of the Morrow Sew
ing Club captured their share of
the honors. On the first year
bulletin sewing, Hazel Greene
won first place and Susie Holli-
day fourth place. On the second
year bulletin sewing, Susie Holli-
day won 9th place and Wilma
Scherer won 8th place.
All club members are busy Just
now getting their final reports
made up. These are to be in the
hands of the County Club Leader

Robertson, the Spokesman-Review
Of a recent date had the following
report Of her stock Judging at the
Idaho State Fair:
Gay Robertson, a Lewis coun-
y club girl who lives at Nezperce,
IDAHO, has never had any partic-
liar training in live stock judg-
ng, so far as the farm bureau
people know, but won second
3lace in the dairy judging con-
est conducted by the University |
# Idaho extension division at the
tate fair held recently in Boise.
Gay was conspicuous in the ex-
ensive series Of judging contests
,ut on by the boys and girls club
workers at the fair because she
vas the only girl who participat-
d in the contests. She went into
he hog pens with the boys and
he pigs and judged the pigs as
Enthusiastically and as carefully
S any Of the boys did. She also
vent into the sheep Judging. The

Mr.. Palmer probably will take office
March 4. the date tentatively fixed b!
attorney general Gregory for his re-
tirement waea he resigned several
mcnths ago to return to private prac-
tice of law.
Congressional investigation OF the
work of A. Mitchell Palmer, alien pro-
perty custodian, was proposed in re-
solution introduced yesterday by Sem
ator F'relinghIysen. of New Jersey, re-
publican.
Without discussion the resolution
was referfed tc the senate commerce
committee, winch the New Jersey sen :
ator proposed should conduct the in
quiry.
In a preamhIa to his resolution Sen =
ator FreIinghuysen recited the fact
that the custodian had taken over val :
liable property and collected hundreds
of millions of dollars and said he hal
made no detail ed report of his steward :
ship. "all Of his transactions having
been, apparantely, conducted with
complete secrecy so far as this senate
is aware"
The resignation Of Mr.. Palmer as
alien property custodian has not been
announced and there have been no in :
timation as to who may succeed him
Mr.. TSImer is native OF strouds-

clined to accept. 1t was generally re-
ported that he was offered the war
portfolio in President Wilson's first
cabinet, but asked to be excused be-
cause he was a Quaker.
When the United States entered the
war Mr.. Palmer became chairman Of
the fifth district board of Pennsylvan-
ia, under the selective service act con-
