sGHOST0'TOPASS ONE NEW
COMMISSIONER, PAY DAY

When pay day rolls around in the
District building next month one of
the two new Commissioners will have
to go without salary, but the ques-
ton of which one it shall be is a
problem.
There is section in the Revised
Statutes Of the United States which
makes it impossible for the Treasury
to pay the Commissioner who sue
ceeds w. Gwynn Gardiner until he
or she has been confirmed by the SEN
ate. Herein lies the catch: Who is
succeeding Mr.. Gardiner?
The appointment certificates of Miss
Mabel T. Boardman and J. Thilman
Hendrick make no reference to the
question of who succeeds Mr.. Brown
low and who takes Mr.. Gardiner
place. No one at the District build
ing was prepared today to answer the
Question.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1920-09-22

| The only difference in the two COM
missions is that Miss Boardman's is
dated September II and Mr. Hendrick' S
two days later. The decision of who
gets paid may hinge on this point.
,, Mr.. Gardeners chair was vacant be-
fore Mr.. Brownlow resigned. Whether
the appointment of Miss Boardman
first means that she fills the oldest
vacancy could not be learned today.
Section 1861 Of the Revised Statutes
reads:
mo money shall be paid from the
Treasury as salary. to any person APP
pointed during the recess of the Sem
ate to fill a vacancy in any existing
office, if the vacancy existed while
the Senate was in session and was
by law required to be filled by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate, until such appointee has been
confirmed by thes Senate"
The officials in charge of the pay
roll probably will not decide the ques1
ton until nearer pay day. The next

In Ypsilanti the Rotarians get out

share OF comment in the editorial COLI

general tone OF the editorial is 30 re-
freshing that Il is reprinted here inl
full. II is only a typical example or
the opinion which thinking business
men OF Michigan have of the Statss
Police. The editorial IL as follows:
The best argument for a Statel
Police is that some people don't want
'em.
THE radical labor-unionist who ex-,
poets to start the customary roughl
house this summer is disturbed at thel
thought OF having a husky fellow with

cency, or God.

POLICE MESSAGES
HAVE RIGHT OF WAY
TELEPHONE COMPANY REcoo-
NIzEs EMERGENCY NATURE
OF CALLS FOR STATE
TROOPERS.

An arrangement has been made by
the State Police with the Michigan
State Telephone Company whereby
messages to or from the State Police
stations are given right OF way over
other traffic. This is necessary be-
cause II is important that the State
Police receive notification promptly OF
robberies and other crimes so that
they may start in pursuit OF the law
breakers without delay. In other cas-
es. a call In sent in where some dis
order or act OF lawlessness is feared
and there have been scores OF cases
where such call resulted In bringing
the State Police to the scene in time
to avert trouble.
Major Roy c. Vandercook, who re-
Gently retired from the command OF
the state troopers, perfected a SYSTEM
for use on the regular patrol routes
OF the State Police whereby farmers
and storekeepers may notify either
the nearest State Police station or the
trooper on the patrol OF the presence
of suspicious characters or OF other
facts which are essential that the
troopers know.
The fact that many instances have
occurred OF criminals using motor cars
In committing their depredations In
the agricultural districts has made the
telephone an important adjunct In
helping the state troopers to take pre-
ventive measures and to head on es-
Gaping law-breakers.

When the kidneys become weak or

DRY of Terence MacSwiney, late lord
mayor of Cork, rioted at the sight OF
British flag decorating the facade OF
the Union club across Fifth avenue
from St. Patrick's cathedral.
After a fight participated in by hun
dreds of Irish sympathizers, IN the
course of which plate glass windows
of the club were shattered by missiles
hurled by members of the mob, order
was restored when a Gordon OF 200
police established itself around the
beleaguered building. The Union
Jack, which was the cause OF the as
sault, although taken down at the nrst
demand of the crowds and subsequent
ly replaced, still was draped over the
sidewalk with the emblems OF France
and the United States when the fracas
ended.
When the clamor Of the first rush on
the offending banner was at its height,
the Rt. Rev. Michael J. Lavelle, rec
tor of ST Patricks, clad in his min
isterial robes, rushed out Of the church
and pleaded in vain with the leaders
to quell the disturbance.
Several Persons Injured
After mounted and motorcycle police
had dispersed assaulting forces, sur

casualties including a dozen or more
slightly injured who had been struck
by flying brick bats. All windows on

OHIO CROP YIELDS
INCREASE 0NE-EIFTH
SAYS COLLEGE MAN

COLUMBUS, o., Nov 26.-Crop
yields in Ohio have increased approx.
mately 20 percent in the last 20 years,
according to Prof. l. ]. Falconer, of the
department of rural economics in the
OHIO State University college of agri-
culture. =.
Drainage, rotation. better seed, fer.
tilization and cultivation are principal
reasons for the increased yield, he
says.
For the 10 years preceding 1900, the
average yield OF wheat per acre in the
STATE was only AT bushels per acre,
for the 10 years preceding 1920 if
averaged III bushels. From 1890 to
1900 the average yield of oats Der
acre was 30.5 bushels, from 1910 to
1871 1t was 1874 bushels. Falconer
said.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-11-26

With corn which occupies more
acreage than any other crop in the
state, the average yield for the 10
years preceding 1900 was 31.4 bushels
for the 10 years preceding 1910, was
1856 bushels. and for the 10 years pre-
ceding 1920, 3S.5 bushels, he pointed
out
Further Increase Possible.
THAT it is still possible to consid
erably increase the crop yields of the
state is shown by experiments at the
Wooster Experiment station where
yields of nearly twice the state aver.
age have been secured in the last 10
years. If the prices of farm products
are sufficient to justify the expendi
ture of labor and capital, the agricul
tural output of Ohio could be easily
increased 25 percent in the next ten
years. Whether this will be done will
depend largely on the prices received
for the products of the farm" Falcon

WASHINGTON, Aug. H.
There are certain spirits who are
unable TO resist the call Of adyen-
ture and the lure Of danger. Such
was Hermann Tucker, a graduate
at Harvard, about 1912. Before the
war broke out he had climbed the
highest mountains in Alaska, had
penetrated the deepest forests in
South America and had drifted in
search Of adventure 10 Hawaii.
The government suspected there
might be German submarine bases
among the reefs Of the South Sea
islands and called for q few hardy
spirits willing to risk their lives in
quest Of such information.
Tucker was one Of SIX who vol
unteered and who went In a Chi

miles among the islands. They did
not find the submarine base but
