L0WDEN DECLINES APPOINTMENT
AS SECRETARY OF THE NAVY

Is understood this possibility was dis
cussed Thursday with A. I. Hert, ma
tional committeeman for Kentucky,
who has been recommended as cabinet
material.
AS a Pacific coast representative.
the qualifications of Senator Miles
Poindexter OF Washington, to be sec
retary OF the navy have been called to
the president elects attention and he
also has received instructions for sew
eral members of the house naval COM
mittee. In the first reaction from the
Lowden declination however, there
was no evidence that either Mr.. Hert
or Mr.. Poindextcr, was under serious
consideration.
The navy problem and available can
didates for the portfolios of commerce
and labor. the only others which have
not been virtually awarded were talk
ed over Thursday with Harry NJ.
Daugherty of Ohio, who Is expected
to be the next attorney general. Along
with the cabinet situation, Mr.. Harding
is giving attention to appointments
for membership on the Interstate COM
merce commission and shipping board.
He has talked over the railroad prob
lem with prominent railroad men and
Thursday he heard advice on the ship
ping situation from J. p. Kerlin. a
New York attorney. A way to get the
transportation lines back to a normal
earning basis has been the subject dis
cussed by tho railroad men, though It
is understood few recommended an in
crease in rates.

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 17.-Presi-
dent Hardings cabinet problem
developed another difficulty Thursday
when F. o. Lowden of Illinois. sent
word that he could not permit himself
the navy. This declination left blank
in the cabinet slate which may not be
readily filed. Altho he had indicated
before he did not desire the appoint
ment. Mr.. Harding and his advisers
had counted on a change of mind. AS
a result they must begin sorting over
a considerable list of men mentioned.
Mr.. Lowden wired that his personal
affairs made 1t impossible for him to
enter the public service at present.
Thus, he removed himself also from
the field for possibilities for diplomatic
appointments.
Whatever inside story may have
been behind Mr.. Lowden's actions.
there was no outward evidence at Mr..
Harding's headquarters that serious
friction had developed. regarding 1t.
The president-elect expressed regret,
saying he held Mr.. Lowden in high re-
gard and had hoped to bring him into
the government. It is known that some
OF the warmest Lowden supporters
have brought influence to bear for Mr..
Lowden's selection as secretary Of the
treasury. a post now understood to be
virtually awarded to A. w. Mellon OF
Pennsylvania. 1t is considered likely
that in casting about for an available
man for the navy portfolio, Mr.. Hard
ing will give attention to the qualifica-
tions OF tho southern Republicans. 1t

to reply but nobody could hear half
he said. At the start Mr. Blanton
caused a row by charging Representa-
tive Campbell. Democrat, OF Pennsyl-
vania. had asked him to keep away
when the salary bill WAS called up.
Pale with anger. Mr.. Campbell Jump
ed up and shouted an indignant de-
NAL. declaring there was not word
OF truth in the statement. Apparently
unruffled. Mr.. Blanton turned toward
the Republican side and charged that
Representative Strong. OF Kansas. had
requested him not to demand a roll
call. Also angry, Mr.. Strong walked
toward Mr.. Blanton and told the house
the statement was false.
In the last minute, Mr.. Elanton de-
ciared Mr.. Summers wanted to run for
the senate from Texas and that this
desire was the basis of the attack. At
this the house again rose with .
mighty shout. Old members said 1t was
the most remarkable spectacle they
ever had seen. Finally when some
semblanco OF order was restored
Blanton declared that he, too. had been
mentioned by Texas papers for the
senate. Then nothing could be heard
for the uproar got beyond all bounds.
The attack was the elimination OF
many made heretofore by members
who charged Mr.. Blanton was con-
tinually blocking legislation by points

CALF FED TO WEAVING TIME
Quite Simple Matter IT Mother Has
Sufficient MIX to Nourish Young
ster Properly.

The feeding of a beef calf from
birth until it is weaned is very SIM
pie matter if its mother gives milk
enough to nourish it properly. The
principal part of the calf's ration,
therefore. may be cheaply and safely
provided by giving it's mother the
proper feeds for the production of
milk. Do not feed the COW too heavily
on grain soon after she has dropped
the calf. While it is important that
the calf have plenty of milk at all
times. It should never have too much,
especially soon after birth. The fol-
lowing suggestions are designed par
ticularly for select animals chosen es-
pecially for breeding purposes, says
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
A calf dropped In the fall or win
ter probably will do better If kept sep
arated from its mother and allowed to
suck night and morning. In summer
It should be provided with lot for
exercise and pasture in the daytime.
and during the winter with we'll
bedded box stall at night. When the
calf is from four to six weeks old 1t Is
good plan to bring it from the lot
early in the morning, allow 1t to suck,
then take it to the pen or stall to be
fed some grain. 1t should also be
sucked at night before grain is fed,
then taken out to the grass lot or be
fed little hay in the stall. To be
kept contented when away from its
mother calf should run with other
calves. A bull calf should be separated
from the heifers at the age of three
or four months. If the calf is dropped
late In winter or spring 1t may be
more convenient to allow 1t to run
with it's dam for several months on
pasture.
Since milk is natures food for the
calf it would be reasonable to suppose
that milk alone Is sufficient feed for
It, In all cases, however, it should be
provided with a little grain in addition
to milk. II both the cow and the calf
have good pasture and the cow Is CIV
ing milk enough, the calf will grow to
weaving age in good condition with
less grain than otherwise would be
needed. Frequently. however, the
amounts Of both pasture and milk are
somewhat limited. Then the feeding
of more grain is absolutely essential
for best results.
When from four to six weeks old
calf may be taught to eat grain. This
may be done by feeding 1t in creep

Any one who is ambitious to pre-

satin, wash satin, tricolette, crepe de

these are plated. A plain skirt OF
white wash satin has four cores in
yellow satin set in, one at the front
and back and one at each side. They
are jointed at the top, about seven
inches wide at the bottom and termi-
nate at the hip line with an embroid-

colors. Ribbon in the prevailing color
in the skirt, borders the coat and trims
the hat.

THERE was never more cheerful
i outlook for separate skirts than
the season just ahead Of them. They
have more than met all our expecta-
tons as to what the spring would
bring after their triumph of last sum-
mer, and the models for southern tour
lists foretell another season OF delight
fully cool and dainty skirts for sum-
mer wear. In the meantime there are
models for sports and street wear be-
tween seasons that meet every re-
quirement that the most exacting taste
can make. They are made Of wool ma
terials in stripes and crossbars, and
apparently the patterns have been WOW
en- with reference to the dominant
feature of the styles, which is plaits.
It is plated skirts again with all the
emphasis possible on "plaited."
Most materials show plain stripe
alternated with fancy stripe, and
they are made up usually in box
plaits with the plain stripe inverted.
There are box plaits of all widths from
an inch to six inches across and the
striped and barred materials offer
unending opportunities for. ingenuity
in managing plaits. In the skirt pic
