operate the Public Health Service. another
agency under authority OF that department.
The question is. however. what to do
with the coast guard. The Joint Legislative
IRcorganization Committee. il is revealed NJ
the White House. proposes that tho guard
be transferred to III" Department of Com
merCc. to become the active enforcement
agency OF the Bureau of Navigation. And
there seems To he sound reasons why this
change should be made.
President Harding himself. on the other
hand, is inclined 10 the notion that the
coast guard should he lcgisiated into the
navy.
Coast cuarismcu. however. rebel NJ the
idea OF becoming the tail TO the navy kite.
They do not wish to be absorbed by Il larger
fleet or TO lose the identity which they have
enjoyed for generations. They want 10 re-
main n more or less independent operating
force, and the people who have applauded
the daring exploits OF these splendid navi-
gators all these years have much sympathy
with the protest of the guard against being
merged with the navy.
Whatever is done. the usefulness OF the
coast guard must not be impaired. Its func-
ton is one of enormous Importance to the
OF the country. 1t not only pa
trolls the coast line il fair season and foul.

Wen and keeping the sea lanes cleared of
derclicts. but it engages in hazardous en-
pioitations. 1t protects American deep sea
fishing aud engages in n multitude OF OPP
CREATIONS imposed upon no other branch of

President Harding doubtless appreciates
IN" efficiency and fine spirit Of the coast
Euardsmon and he would not consciously
be n party TO any reorganization which
would reduce this historic fleet, with its
intrepid sailormen, to an obscure place in
tho government.

Kentucky tobacco brought 1872 cents

As result of lower leaf prices, cig-

JEFF ADAMS INJURED
BY DIVE IN The OHIO
Leap Into River In Paducah May
Prove Fatal to Kentucky
Athlete,

Paducah, KY, June 20. - Possible
fatal injuries may have been suffered
by Charles Jeff Adams, q, OF
Georgetown, star athlete Of George
town College, early Monday evening
when he diyed into the Ohio River OPP
posite Paducah Adams suffered>an in
jury of the spine and his body is COM
pletely paralyzed. Physicians made
X-ray pictures last night but have
failed to locate the trouble.
Adams and several college frater-
nifty brothers are visiting in Paducah
and last night were on a swimming
party. Adams leaped off a barge He
was seen to be helpless in the water
and was rescued by Raymond Bam-
berger. 1t is believed that Adams
wrenched his spine in diving, as there
are no indications Of his having
struck the bottom of the river.
After regaining consciousness last
night Adams says that he was par
alyzed when he struck the water.
Adams is a son of the Rev. NJ B.
Adams, president of Georgetown Col
lege, grandson of Mrs. A. X. Marshal,
Lewisburg, and the star athlete of the
institution. He played on the college
football, baseball basketball and ten
mis- teams. At the close of the college
year he was voted the most valuable
athlete in college.
Slight hope is entertained for the
recovery of Adams, as X-ray pictures
reveal that the fourth vertebra is
fractured and the traverse process dis
placed upwards. Physicians say that
he has a fighting chance Of recovery.
