Couple Finds 500
Bill, Lost 9 Years,
:. Ii, Nest Of Mouse

NEW YORK. N. Y. Aug. 2o.-
Only the man. hungry. tired. dirty
and BROKE" who suddenly spies
the heavenly green simmer of
81 bill smiling invitingiyt-at him
from the sidewalk can truly @ap-
preciate the feelings Of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Haas, OF s7s Fox street
today.
3 About nine years ago the couple
purchased q plano apd AZ about the
same time received as a gift from
q friend a 800 bill. The piano
occupied one place of honor in the
living room and the. bill reposed In
solitary grandeur on a stand near
by. The piano remained, but dur
ing its first night In its new abode
the bill disappeared.
Search high and low availed not.
and the gift was given up. Today
n piano tuner, called to make some
repairs on the piano, unearthed
a mouse nest inside the instrument.
and at the bottom OF the nest the
500 bill was quietly reposing un-
injured by its long separation from
its rightful owners.

Ulster Objects to Dali
Under Control of Fighters

special Cabs to The Washington Herald
and United Gevs.)
BELFAST. Aug. 20. = Ulster will
never consent to a united Ireland
while the South Is governed by a
Dali composed of fighters instead
of business men.
This. in a nutshell, was said to
be the North's attitude today to-
wards reported attempts at conciii-
alton of Ulster by certain Southern
leaders.
1t Is believed. however. that be-
fore the present uncertain period
Is over and the Sim Fein Parlia-
mont has either accepted or re-
jected the British peace offer. an
attempt will be made to discover
a basis OF agreement between, the
North and South. Lloyd George. II
is said. would support Sim Fein
overtures to Ulster.
Southerners will never admit II.
but there Is a possibility that an
intimate arrangement between m
ster and Sim Fein will be part Of
a temporary settlement. in which
It will be stipulated that Ulster
shall remain outside pending the
accommodation of the South to a
new status, and the adjusting Of
its war administration to a peace
basis.

The Harding administration has
again made clear that IL intends 70
withhold recognition OF Mexico un.

rights is signed
This notice was served on the
Obregon government by Undersec-
rotary OF State Fletcher in an in
terview recently given to FL Uni
versal. newspaper in Mexico
City. the text of which was made
available here last night.
Fletcher emphasized that the
United States wished to respect th'
sensibilities of the Mexican people
and is not attempting TO bring any
pressure to bear to secure agree
ment to the terms. Furthermore
washington's action is entirely free
from the influence of "oiI men or
politicians" he said in the inter-
view
Without going into details.
Fletcher declared that both govern
ments should make guarantees of
friendship and that the famous ar
ticle 81 must not be made retro
active.
This government. Fletcher ex-
planned. does not demand peremp-
tory payment OF the debt Mexico
owes the United States, or of
claims growing out Of revolution

Knee Bathing Suits

!. CHICAGO. Aug, 2U.--Tl boaro
OF Aldermen OF Zion City IL split
over new ruling By oyerseer vo-
Iva which has to do with the style
OF mems bathing suits
The new ruling sets forth that
the trousers OF mems bathing suits
must extend below the knee and
the suit must wear q skirt tapping
down the thigh. It's great mode
for sedentary oitizens with knobby
knees and lean shanks. For swim
ming. the Zion style is little better
than a suit Of armor.

regulation
. The bathing suit argument aorn;-
mated the council meeting last

Eardlng womehfs styles were
crowded out of the discussion.

Repeal of Excess Profits

administration tax revision bill is
made in a statement issued last
night-by Representative Keller, of
Minnesota Mr.. Keller is one OF
rhe Republicans who voted against
the measure yesterday.
The so-called tax reductions in

been accomplished only on paper
for political effect by the palpable
Juggling of figures" declared the
Minnesota Representative.

The Secretary Of the Treasury TO
increase certificates OF Indebtedness,

throukh the House on the plea that
It's passage will revive business, I"
he Continued. TT will have Just the
opposite effect. Instead of I'M
shaciz1ing business, which admit
tedly suffering from taxation, this
bill Heaps heavier burdens upon

Repeal of the excess profits tax
and reduction OF the Individual in

10000 persons-most of them war

$50, oot a year. and directly adds an
