is mentioned as a more than possible
selection for embarrassing.
1t was Mr.. Hert who managed the
Hughes campaign in the West with
headquarters in Chicago in 1916
There always has been Il feeling, ex-
pressed freely, that Mr.. Hert was
handicapped in his Western endeavors
in 1916 by interference from the East,
and there are scores Of Republicans
today who say that If he had been
given a free hand the result In the
West probably would hare been diff

Washington.-Old politicians say
that never before in the historylof the
party has Republicanism been Sc
numerously represented in the city of
washington as is the case in this
month Of March weather in the wear
Of grace 1921. The Republican party
holds possession today of the White
House and the Capitol, and to a great
extent Of all the hotels in this town.
Soon, the promise Of the politicians
is, that it will have possession of
every strategic place in all the de.
partments Of government.
This little description Of the sudden
transfer Of this town into the condi.
ton Of a Republican stronghold
could have been written eight years
ago of its transformation into q Dem.
ocratic stronghold. The whirligig of
politics brings its changes like the
whirligig Of time.
The Republican national committee
has been here In the full force OF
Its membership. Will Fl. Hays, the
chairman, presided at its meetings,
and If other meetings are held within
the next three or four months it Is
likely that he will continue to pre-
side, unless, being postmaster general,
he shall feel that the proprieties of
office demand that he shall give over
the chair of, the craftsmanship to the
committees vice chairman.
1t is pretty well understood here in
Washington that Will II. Hays some.
where about June I, and possibly
earlier, will resign from the Office of
chieftain of the national committee
and will ask the members 10 choose
some one in his place, the some one
in the case probably being a man
designated by the present great chief
tain of the party, Warren G. Harding.
1t Is the custom to allow the Presi-
dent of the United States to suggest
the name Of the new chairman Of the
committee in, ease Il change is r:ade
during his, presidential term.
49, The Next Chairman.
There il a good deal of gossip in
Washington ,eQncerning the new Re
publican chairmanship: Three or four
names are mentioned rs possibilities
John T. Adams of iowa is the pres
emit, vice chairman of the committee
and so far as, position is concerned
stands I'm line of promotion, but it is
known that there is opposition in the
committee to the selection of Mr.
Adams United States Senator Harry
s. New of Indiana has been suggested
and it has been said that he is Pres.
ident Harding's; choice for the place,
but it Is understood that Mr.. New
does not wish to take the place be.

ORIGINAL HORSE HAD CLAWS
Skeletons Of Prehistoric Animals Show
That Nature Gave Them Some.
what Strange Equi pment.

Seventeen skeletons of the sO-called
"Clawed Horse" Of prehistoric times
from the Agate Spring fossil quarry of
western Nebraska have been placed
In storage, for lack of exhibiting space,
at the American museum Of natural
history, New York.
The varied skeletOnic combinations
Of Moropus and deductions therefrom
are described by Professors Osborn
and Matthew, as follows:
'"The Moropus was a distant rela-
tive Of the rhinoceros, the tapir, and
the horse. 1t Is about the size Of a
rhinOcerOs but very different In
form; the head and neck are like
those Of the horse. The rounded back
resembles that of Il taplr, and the
legs, although massive like those of
the rhinOceros. are much longer. The
teeth and feet are very distinctive.
The teeth show that the animal
browsed on vegetation.
"MOrOpus belongs with rhinOcerOs,
tapirs and horses to the order OF Per-
issOdactyls, or hoofed mammals with
an odd number Of toes on the hind
foot. The rulninants, camels, pigs and
appropriateness have an even number
Of toes either two or four. MOrOpus
has three toes. The feet with their
great claws are more like those Of
ant eaters and similar digging MAN.
mails than of any Of the hoOfed MAN.
mails to which Moropus really belongs.
It is suggested that the claws were
designed to aid in scrnping away the
sand in dry FLYER beds or other suit
able places to obtain drink"

the present committee. 1t is said that
he may be the choice. provided it Is
decided to go outside Of the commit
tee membership for chairman.
It is said that VIII n. Hays desires
temporarily to retain his position as
committee chairman in order that UNI
der his direction the last remaining
indebtedness Of the committee may
be cleared up. -
The Republican national commit
teemen, or most Of them, left WASH

ton, but some scores of men re-
matned behind them holding more or
less precious letters Of recommends
tlon for appointments, or at any rate
more or less precious promises Of help
In obtaining preferment. 1t is, there.

pying a large share Of the room space
In the hotels of this city today. i.
It is this way every four or eight
years.

Who's Who in Birmingham Among the Newcomers

Third avenue, with 70,00O square feet under cover. An expansion of 10 times the original plant, and yet not large enough to meet the continuing growth
 But more than this, we had to utilize 120,000 additional square feet for yardage space, and already plans are being shaped rapidly to bring in a spur track from the A., B. & A. for the purpose of caring for our own customers and serving others adja- cent with trackage facilities. It will mean much for our end of the town when the tracks are laid to our doors.
 While we have the exclusive right to the King steel shipping cases, which gives us a great saving in handling and in freight. yet any one familiar with the transfer business is aware that every time you handle furniture or material 1t means an added cost; and so to reduce ex- penses to a minimum we felt the need of having carload lots unloaded at our doors. We will soon be doing this, as everything Is ready to starr work on the tracks. We will have crate of such capacity that any heavy materials can be handled with ease. We also have proper rigging for handling safes In fact, we are in the transfer business to care for the smallest as well as the largest jobs. Birmingham has given us fine treatment, and we are reciprocating by giving good service at reason able prices"
