bUlutut Washington, January 10.-(Speciai.)- Since tle democrat chieftains put on their war paint and sat down to the Jackson day dinner many men have speculated on what the result was, and what the development portend for the future Tho deductions are as numerous as those who made them, and no two of them are in consonance. With the exception of those features which are outstanding and a0- mittsd, those of which the country has talked, the entire situation is as complex as it was prior to the dinner, and of the future, the opinion of one man is per haps as valuable as another's.
 This is fact, however: The democratic leaders do not concede the contention of republican leaders that the year is des- tined to be a republican year. As Chair man Cummings expressed it to newspaper cores spondents, the various leaders be- heve that Chairman Will H. Hays of the republican organization is whistling not only to keep his courage up, but because he is passing graveyard of empty hopes. The prospect of democratic victory, as Chairman Cummings sees 1t, IS due nos enly to democratic virtue, but to lack or accord in the republican camp. The ranh and fife of the republican organization. including the prospective candidates Tor the presidency, have been made to believe

HEFLIN IS URGED
 FOR VICE PRESIDENT

Washington. January 10.-(Special) As result of plans of the democratic newspaper correspondents of Washing
 ton. Representative Heflin of Alabama IS receiving mention--which is hoped
 will lead into boom-for the vice presidential nomination.
 This action on the part of the news paper representatives is not due solely
 to the fact that with the membership of the press galleries Mfr. Heflin is popular The movement was started ir recognition of MT Heflin's signal ser- vices to the part in and out of Con-
 gress. In Congress Mir. Heflin hai
 never permitted republican to indulge
 in gratuitous criticism of the demo- cratic administration unchallenged Out of Congress Mir. Heflin has never de-
 clined to go out into the backwoods or wherever else called when a demo- cratic candidate seemed in danger.
 In this connection it is said to be true that no man has spoken for 2 great number of democratic candidates
 throughout the United States than MT.
 Heflin. Everybody, even his political
 enemies, admits that his work is ef- fective
 MT. Heflin has been apprised of the
 plans of members of the press. He was complimented. of course, at the action thhoi, Dut OeCldfeu that ne was a can didate for the House and would con tinue to be; that the legislative end of the bushes was more to his choosing.

of the population of the United States as militaristic. He would necessarily stand for preparation for possible wars. anh as an essential corallary, a large standing army. And General Wood, like all sol diers. has no politics. He is not party man, as that term is regarded by the Penroscs. And the Penroses demand party man. They do not want an uplifter. They to not want a theorist They do not want rhesorician They want practical republican with regard for all that the republicans throughout all the years have regarded as more than sacred.
 And there is the situation as demo- cratic leaders "doped" it out for Wash lhgton correspondents. Is there good req son for the oft-Tepeated statement of re- publican leaders that this year must of necessity bring republican victory, and no denoerat whoever he might be or however appealing the blanks of his plat form, can possible win?

HARDING OUTLINES
 FUTURE BANKING NEEDS

Washington, January 10.- Especial. J. Normal conditions in banking-business- affairs, like normal conditions in all other affairs, cannot be restored this year. or next year. in any definite numDer of years, according to w. F. c. Harding of Birmingham, governor of the federal reserve board
 MT. Harding. in statement to bank CTS Representing 9 clearing house asso- cations scattered throushout the United States, declared it the duty of bankers so to conduct their affairs that normal conditions might be resumed as early as possible. He cited a programme which he believed would be conducive to that end.
 While we have turned our backs upon the period of war financing" said Mir. Harding, 'and have directed our steps toward more normal banking policy, we cannot expect this year, or next or in the immediate future. to regain a banking position which would be re- garded as normal when judged by pre- war standards.
 We can reach such a position only when. as the result of increased produc- ton and reduced expenditure on the part CT the people and of the government, outstanding obligations of the govern nent have been very greatly reduced and the remainder absorbed by the invest ing public. The process is one which will require time and patience
 But we can formulate our policies now. We must have definite policy tc which we must adhere in order to bring about. in course of time. the re- suit which all thinking men agree should be attained. =
 This, in way of a programme or a definite policy. was recided by Mir. Hard ing:
 "Non-essentia1 loans should be d.ss eouraged and the rediscount facilities of the federal reserve banks ought nor to be used for the sake of profits. ~ federal reserve system should be brought back as rapidly as possible to the basis that the authors of the act had in mind when the law was enacted. Federal re- serve banks should be kept in a liquid condition. They should be kept in a posi- ton to expand or contract according to tle industrial and commercial require ments of the country. They should be kept in a position to respond to any unexpected emergency and to all sea- sonal requirements. They should be en- abled to furnish to the country a sound and elastic curreucy-and when I say elastic, I mean not oniy currency ca lable of expanding, but also of contract ing in order that it might expand again when occasion requires.

The arrival at the Metropolitan Mu-

statues of Sekhmett, or Nut, the an
Gent Egyptian goddess of war, pur-
chased in England in 1914, reminds
one of the beginnings Of modern inter

ues. although their history over the
last century seems difficult to trace III
all its details, were probably among
the earliest results of Egyptian exca-
walton that came to England. Some
thing over thirty centuries ago Egyp-
tian sculptors were carving such stat
ues out of solid blocks of black gran
tie for the decoration of temples; anu
then in 1850, as the record goes, an
Arab sheik, working at the instl Satioh
of Venetian priest, found STATUE
of Nut i'm the sand that had accumu-
lated over the ruins of Karnac. Since
then good many statues of Nut have
been recovered, and the strange god

Don't Blame Mosquito.

We have lately been taught that the
mosquito was the only disseminator OF
malaria. and that we should be safe II
we should get rid of mosquitoes. But
Doctor Roux, farmerly chief physician
of the st. Louis hospital at Jerusalem
asserts as the result OF his own experi-
ence of 20 years and that of many
colonial physicians, that malaria often
exists where there are no mosquitoes.
He points out that everywhere ~
uoalarial countries the disease breaks
out Just at the time when the soil 10
broken for planting. He does not deny
that the anopheles mosquito spreads
malaria, but he says this is evidently
not the only means of infection.
The old theory that malaria was
caused by the bad air of swarnpy dis
tricts or by certain emanat'ons from
the soil may be correct after all.

Recalls Roman Conquest.

The sale is announced of the an
cient Caerwent, Monmouthshire, Eng
land, which is mentioned in Domesday
Book. This town (Benta Silurium)
was the headquarters of a powerful
and warlike tribe called Silures, who
occupied approximately the counties
OF Monmouth, Brecon and Glamorgan."
In spite of the fierce resistance offered
by them, about 48 A. d.. to the Ro-
man conquest, their town in time be-
came Roman city, not unlike Sill
chester, but smaller.
The old walls and gateways still
survive, and the many excavations car
ried out have discovered Roman relics
of much interest-a town hall and
market square, temple, baths, fres-
coed panels, and also water pipes, said
to have carried drinking water from
the hills.

HAD MET HIS KIND BEFORE
"uncIe Joe" cannon's Whitening Re-
Duke of Lobbyist Who Thought
to Make "Bluff" Coed.

Joseph Guernsey Cannon, more at
fectionately known throughout the
length and breadth of the land as
"Uncle joe" is nearing his eighty
fourth birthday. He loves his fellow
man and is one of the most affable
members of congress toward stran-
gers. But Uncle Joe hates "bOun-
ders" and lobbyists and is still young
and vigorous enough to resent their
attempts at familiarity, says the Wash
ington Star.
For the benefit of couple of men
with legislative axes to grind whom
he was endeavcring to impress with
his own Importance around the capitol,
one of the weli-known lobbyists held
up "Uncle joe near the cigar coun-
ter in the house restaurant. Hello,
Uncle Joe!" he exclaimed. Haven't
seen you for some days, You sure are
looking fine Won't you have a cigar
with us-one of your old favorites?"
Then the cold, steady, steely look in
Uncle Joe's eyes gave him warning.
He tried to bluff it off.
"Why, Uncle Joe, you don't seem to
remember me"
But he reckoned without his host
you just can't bluff Uncle Joe. He has
played the great American indoor
game too long for that. With shout
ders thrown back, arms stiffened at
his side, eyes piercing the presnming
acquaintance, he raised himself on his
toes, leaning closer and daringly to-
ward the face of the other, and said !:
mo, don't remember you. Why, If
when you get to the pearly gates you
don't look more familiar to st. Peter
than you do now to me, he'll say to
you, Get to out of here; don't
