Printing Facts

The most practical form of
pamphlet binding is saddle wire.
Unless the book is very thick, this
will hold like grim death. When
too thick for saddle wire, side
wire through the cover is often
used. This has the advantage of
strength, but is more or less I'M
slightly and has the additional
objection that the book so bound
will not open fiat. The best and
most expensive form of binding is
sewing and gathering. But in
this case the cover must be glued
on, and a glued cover is pretty
sure to come off if the book re-
ceives much handling. There
fore, when the book is sewed, it
is generally advisable to reinforce
the binding with muslin strips,
or, better still, to put on a cloth
back.

30 Men of 9th Quit
Under Fire, Says Harris
Explains to Inquiry Committee
Why Many Skulkers Re-
manned i'm Paris

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Continu-
ing his defense Of his administration
of the Paris district, Brigadier Genera
Harris told House Investigating Com
mittee to-day that charges of cruelty
at the military prisons might have
been exaggerated by men "endeavoring
to eXculpate themselves" Prisoners
were never satisfied and always dis
torted the truth, he said.
Questioned by Chairman johnson, of
South Dakota, concerning the reported
sale of rights in the Paris subway"
to Frenchmen by Sergeant Bender,
General Harris said he personally in
vestigated the report. Bender, he said,
denied sale of one Of the bridges
over the Seine River, but frankly ad-
mitted that certain rights to the sub
way had been sold because it was nee
essary to raise money"
Thirty cases of desertion in face of
the enemy occurred in the 9th New
York; National Guard Division, the
general said, in explaining that many
men in Paris were skulkers who didn't
want to remain with their divisions at
the front.

no effect in any way upon the policy
of the northern district of Lower Cali
fornia, and especially in any political
sense.
Relations With United States Safe
Nothing will be done that will
change in any way the friendly and
business relations of this state with
the people of the United States.
In the event Sonora shall remain for
longer period in state of secession
it is possible that trade or business
relations between Sonora and the
border states of the United States, Ari-
iona in particular, must be affected to
a certain extent, but Lower California,
by reason of its isolated position, will
not realize, nor will the Americans in
terested in this section feel, any change
whatever"
Officials of the Lower California gov
eminent expressed the belief that the
Mexican Federal government would
promptly check the secession movement
in Sonora and elsewhere.

Action Against Persons

Great Waste and Extrava-
gance, Republicans Assert

WASHINGTON, April 12.-After Re-
publican leaders had denounced and
Democrats had upheld the government
sysemt of building army camps in the
IRISH days of war the House made ready
to-day for a fight tomorrow on two
proposals for dealing with persons al
legged to have reaped rich profits out Of
alleged extravaganza and waste.
The Republicans charge that the gov
eminent lost 1881 1921 on sixteen ma
tional army environments alone through
waste
Along with the investigating commit
tees report attacking methods &C con-
struction, the Republican ma ority pre-
scented a resolution directing that evil
dence obtained during the nine months
investigation be turned over to the
Attorney General, with the request that
he institute criminal and civil pro-
ccedings. The Democrats countered
with substitute resolution, proposing
to instruct the committee to name per-
sons, firms and corporations (which
should be investigated by the Attorney
general" before directing that official
to proceed.
Debate to Continue To-day
When the HOUSE quit work tonight
debate on the majority and minority
reports had not reached an end. The
principal speeches were made by Rep
resentativc Mccullough, Republican, Of
Ohio, signing the majority, and Rep
resentative Doremus. Democrat, of
Michigan, author of the minority state
ment.
Like the opposing reports, the
speeches were far apart Mr.. McCul-
Tough declaring that the cry, eve won
the wall" had been made to cover a
multitude of sins, while Mr.. Doremus
asserted that eff the Supreme Archi
tect of the universe had built those
camps the bleacher managers would
have found fault with the job"
Mr.. Mccullough said it was not within
the province nor the duty of the COM
mlttee to prosecute crime or indict
criminals
"The report of the majority contains
facts and evidence" he declared, "and
the record of the testimony taken in
connection with the construction of
Camp Sherman, at Chillicothe, Ohio.
and Camp Grant, at Rockford, ILL.,, con-
tains evidence. on which the Depart
ment of Justice should Immediately
predicate grand jury Investigations"
No attempt was made to save public
money, Mr.. Mccullough said. adding:
"You are paying, your children and
your children's children for generations
to come will pay and continue to paw
for the cost plus system. Let us hone
that never again in the history of the
Republic will such reprehensible sys-
tenn be put into operation, and if the
labors of this committee have accom-
plished that result, we will be con-
tent"

G|PP DIES AFTER

Star Of Notre Dame Passes
Away This Morning

South Bend. Ind, Dec. 14.--Geofge
Gipp, Notrc Dame football player, died
at 3 :23 o'clock this morning from
streptococcic throat disease.
Gipp, whose splendid playing won
him countrywide recognition and made
him a choice for position on an all
American eleven, had been i'll since the
Notre Dame Northwestern game on
November 20.
Pneumonia also helped weaken the
athlete. Specialists called from Chicago
succeeded in Kidding his system of pncu- =
monia. however, but Gipp did not have
the stamina left to ward off the poison
resulting from the throat affection.
During the final hours. of his fight
for life Gipp was rational and was
said to show remarkable grit as he
gradually grew weaker, refusing to give
in to the inevitable. His mother.
brother and sister were at the bedside
when he died
Gipp first jumped into the spotlight as
an unusual football player when Notre
Dame clashed with the Army in 1919.
when his kicking, forward passing. field
running and generalship won him the
plaudits of the eastern football critics.
One ray Of happiness was brought
into the athletes few remaining hours
when he was informed that he had been
selected as a player on mythical all =
American eleven.
During his illness ne also was in :
formed that he had been offered a con :
tract by the Chicago National League
baseball club. Gipp's ability as n base
ball player was on par with that in
football.
