MODERN RIP" BACK
AFTER 25 YEARS
"Andie" Walks in on Wife When
She Had Stopped Search
ina for Him.

NEW YORK, May IL When
"Andie" Fuerpinger, Of Pearl River.
n. Y, came marching home again .
few days ago his wife did not recog-
nize him. Still. as r. Van Wrinkle
discovered, twenty years makes
changes in any man, and Fuerpinger
was away for twenty-five.
Mrs. Fuerpinger was eating her
dinner near the open door when the
old man came up the walk. Her four
children are grown and she has four
grandchildren. She always said that
some day "Andie" would come back,
but it was twenty years ago that
she stopped searching hospitals and
advertising in the newspapers for
him.
Fuerpinger left home in 1896, be.
cause he was sick of his job and in
poor health, his wife said.
Fuerpinger has a job in Middle
town, Conn. where he has been for
seventeen years. He wants his wife
to go there with him. When she
hesitated to sell her two-and-a-hal.-
acre place in Pearl River and go to
Middletown, her husband went down
on his knees to her in tears, she
said. Mrs. Fuerpinger refused to
give him definite answer at once,
but she promised to make UP her
mind by Memorial Day.

Artists Discard
Howing Locks
Delegates to D. G. Conven-
tion Look Like Regular
Human Beings.

What does an artist look like
these days? Does he wear a bow
tie, have long hair, and a bird
like walk?
The reporter went to the twelfth
annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Arts, meeting
this week at the Corcoran Art
Gallery, to find out. That was a
good place to go, for there were
about 200 artists, architects, etc,
there.
Yon'd be surprised. Most of them
looked like quiet business men.
Many of them had bald heads; none
wore bow ties.
You will find very few real
artists subscribing to such affecta-
tions." said one painter. "It is only
the dilettanti who must do that. An
artist OF real merit does not dec
crate his appearance; his work
speaks for itself"

Peace resolutions were considered
today by Republican members Of the

Porter and Knox resolutions. the lat
ter having passed the Senate.
The majority Of members Of the

session of the Republicans
was to come to an agreement on a
resolution and decide on plans for its
consideration in the general commit

ers that the peace resolution should
be made party legislation and that
there shall be no party division over
IT when 1t Is brought from committee
to the House for passage.
Chairman Porter reintroduced his
peace resolution yesterday with some
minor changes. The resolution de-
clares existence OF state of peace
with Germany, reserves all rights
guaranteed the United States by the
terms OF the armistice and the treaty
or peace accepted by Great Britain
and the allies, but rejected with the
League OF Nations by this country,
and safeguards the powers of the
custodian OF alien property under
the provisions of the trading with
the enemy act by continuing and con-
hrming him in his right to operate
and administer trusts and properties
to complete possession and to con-
hrm sales made or to be made by him.
There was objection to the Knox
resolution because it repealed the
war declaration against Germany
and contained provisions interpreted
as suggestions or instructions to the
President in the matter of making a
treaty with Germany. 1t was held that
the country would be humiliated by
repeal OF the declaration of war
and that the Senate had exceeded its
powers in suggesting treaty provi-
sions.

Us This Harding
Economy aJoke?|
Expenses at White House
Are On Increase, 1t
Would Seem.

When President Harding decreed
rigid economy In all ends of Gov
ernment, fiscal officers Of the Ex-
ecutive branch evidently didn't hear
what he said.
This conclusion was drawn to-
day by Treasury officials reviewing
latest Government expenditures.
Secretary Melons new totals to-
day revealed that ordinary expenses
chargeable to the Executive branch,
including the White House, ran up
to S147,33 in April, an increase of
nearly $4,000 over the preceding
month.
Executive branch expenditures,
however, are generally much lower
than in the former administration.
In many Of the preceding months
the expenses of running the ex-
ocutive end of affairs spproximated
500. 900 q month. going far ahead
of that sum In some months.
