hoped for a rapid recovery after an
operation for bladder trouble
After the unexpected relapse the
physicians did not expect the chief
Justice to live.
Death was said to be due directly
to complications which developed aft
er the operation.
Justice McKenna and other Of Mr..
Whites associates in the supreme
court called at the hospital when 1t
became known that his condition was
serious, but did not enter the room
as the chief justice was unconscious.
Chief Justice White of the United
States supreme court was regarded
as the embodiment of' his high office.
In the earlier days of his occupancy
Of the bench, he had the reputation of
being a fastidious dresser; and cou-
pied with this human trait, he was
fond of outdoor exercise.
He was a Roman Catholic in relig-
ion, having graduated from the Jesuit
college in New Orleans, and at
Georgetown, District of Columbia, uni.
versity. His other studies had been
pursued at Mount st. Mary's near EN-
mitsburg, Maryland.
His ascension to the bench was the
climax Of long career in which many
ho1ors had been attained. Licensed
to practice law by the supreme court
of Louisiana in 1868, he was elected
to the state senate in 1874, and four
years later he was appointed asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court OF
Louisiana.
He occupied the bench for q num-
bef of years. In 1891, however, he
took his seat IN the United States
senate, having been elected as DEM
ocrat, from Louisiana.
While serving in the senate, he was
appointed by President Taft, in 1910
to be Chief Justice Of the United
States Supreme court, and took his
seat December 10 of that year.

Although Senator Poindexter and
other republican leaders said they
had not heard further from President
Harding regarding his attitude to-
ward the Borah porposal, there were
reports that both by letter and tele.
phone the president had been in COM
munication with republican leaders.
Both in senate debate and in a
formal statement to the press, Senator
Poindexter announced his intention
to vote for the Borah amendment
and also hold preliminary point of
order against it which would have
required a two-thirds vote for its
adoption. After this announcement
Senator Curtis, republican whip,
passed the word among republicans
to vote as they desired on the Borah
provisions. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, the republican leader, said
that he would vote for the amend
ment and that he expected general re-

Despite the developments in the dis

NEW AMERICAN ENVOY TO
ENGLAND SPEAKS AT THE
PILGRIM BANQUET
PROMINENT NOBLEMEN SPEAK
He Spoke Of the League Of Nations
and Made Strong Plea for the
cIcse Cooperation 5etweep
Our Two Great Countries.

London.-The dinner of welcome by
the Pilgrims Society to the American
ambassador, George Harvey, was en-.
veloped in far deeper interest than
usually attends reception to a new
ambassador by this international club.
Not only was it Mr.. Harvey's first
public appearance since his appoint.
ment to the post, but there was gen.
eral expectation that he would reveal
something of the new administration
policy toward European affairs.
The ambassador did not disappoint
his audience, for he sharply brushed
aside any lingering Illusion that tho
United States would have any relat.
ing whatever with the league of ma.
tions. He also announced his appoint.
ment to represent the president in the
supreme council in the discussion over
Silesia.
His Words Are Plain.
Mr.. Harvey's plain words on the
league were a revelation, and his plea
for the closest cooperation between
the TWO great English speaking coun'
tries was impressive.
the British prime minister made an
eloquent speech, but rather disappoint-
ed those who hoped for more of inter
national plain speaking, which is the
fashion of the moment. The premier
described the plight of Europe, en-.
meshed in ancient feuds, and gave
warm welcome to the new co-opera.
tiOn of America in world affairs.
The Duke of Connaught presided
and Lord Desbrough read a message
from the American pilgrims.
Lord Cruzon, secretary for foreign
affairs, spoke briefly and humorously
referred to. the league of nations by
the wish that lord Robert Cecil one
of the chief supporters of that or.
ganization was in his shoes.
There were $50 diners, among them
the Duke of York, and many mem.
bers Of the peerage and representa-.
tives of the American colony.

Q. We are bothered with crickets
which eat clothes. What will eS-
terminate them?. o. X. F.
A. To exterminate crickets scat
ter snuff about their haunts, pour
boiling water into cracks and crevi-
ces from which they emerge. and put
ginger cordial in open saucers where
they can partake of 1t.
Q. Kindly tell me where there are
places in which the temperature sell
dom goes below 75 degrees, and that
arc, at the same time. comparatively
dry and at a good elevation? F.. c. ;.
A. The Weather Bureau says that
no such combination can be found in
the United Statos or elsewhere. The
nearest approach to such would be
the southwestern part of the United
States. where the temperature In
winter goes below rs degrees. and
the night temperature In summer IL
below that figure Mt any considerable
elevation. This is also true of por-
tions of Spain, a few points on tho
Mediterranean Coast of Africa, por-
tions OF Arabia. and elsewhere IN

A. The Bureau of Standards says

divided platinum. In the stream of
gas this glows and lights tho flame.
The burning of gas is an example OF

crty of starting oxidation. even a' or

produces heat which soon raises tho
