GOOD FOR HARDING.

President-elect Harding has made it
known that he wants to avoid all semb-
lance of extravaganza at his inaugur-
alton. Arrangements were being made
for an elaborate affair that would cost
the government many thousands of
dollars and the people of Washington
many thousands more. Mr. Harding
believes that under present conditions
no money should be unnecessarily ex-
pended for any purpose; that this is
a time to practice economy; that the
Inauguration would be a good time to
make a start toward cutting down ex-
penses. We believe the country will
agree with the president-elect. The
people are getting exceedingly tired of
pomp and display and yearn to get back
to simple methods. In expressing his
desires in the matter Mr.. Harding said
in telegram to w. f. Mclean. chair
man of the Washington inaugural com
mittee:
Il beg respectfully to suggest to your
committee complete abandonment of all
plans for an inaugural celebration.
Heretofore l have been very reluctant
to express my personal views because
/ know the cherished regard in our ma
tional capital for this quadrennial
event and the generosity of the citizens
of the district in making provision for
it.
However, if it is becoming to eX

of this, as Mr.. Colby has frequently

FIND TRACKS IN ASH
Shows Army Fled From Wrath
 of Volcano in Hawaii.
Exploring Party Find Footprints 13o Years Old in Desert South of the
 Crater of Pele Volcano.

Hilo, Island of Hawaii, T. H.-Foot- prints, 130 years old, of a Hawaiian army that fled from the wrath of Pele, goddess of the active volcano of Kilauea, near here, are believed to have been discovered in the Kau desert, south of the great crater, by Prof. T. A. dagger, IT,, in charge of the volcano observatory.
 Dr. dagger and his party were ex- pioring a region far removed from any of the known, modern trails when they came upon the area thickly cov- cred with the imprint of naked feet, all pointing in the one direction, all deep at the toes and light at the heels, indicating that the makers of the tracks had been running at top speed.
 The tracks originally had been made in volcanic ash, which is strongly i'm pregnated with sulphurous acid and gypsum, and which when, wet by rain, Settles into a hard concrete, thus ex- planning the preservation of the im- prints for a period believed to have stretched over more than a century and quarter.
 Hawaiian legend and history pro- vide the other side of the story, the connection between the Kau desert tracks and the flight of the army of Keoua. King of Kau, from Pele's wrath.
 Keoua led an army of three divis- ho vrh later united all the Hawaiian islands under his sway, in the year 1790. This year also recorded the last explosive eruption of Kilauea volcano. Hawai- ian legend records the fact that some of KeouaS warriors rolled stones in- to Kilauea crater to mark their dis respect for the goddess of the molten lake. Whatever the reason for the outburst, Pele rose in her wrath, and, with a terrible explosive eruption, to- tally wiped out the second division of Keoua's army.
 The footprints found in the Kau des- ert are believed to be those of men of the first division, who seeing the destruction. of their comrades in the rear, fled from the locality. The third division coming up, saw the bodies of the annihilated second and halted.
 The area where the footprints were discovered is part of the new Kilauea national park, which will be dedicated this year, and steps already have beer taken to inelose the tracks and pre- serve them.

OPERATES ON BRAIN
Invalid Surgeon Removes Bullet
 From Head of Convict.
Dropped Up in Invalid Chair pr. Chap man Performs Successfully Rare
 Operation in Surgery,

Ossining, N. Y.-The rare opera uon of removing bullet from mans brain was successfully accomplished In Sing Sing prison hospital. A re- markable feature was that Dr. Will liam L. Chapman of Brooklyn, who performed the work, was propped in an invalid chair.
 The operation was an attempt to cure insanity in a prisoner.
 The presence of two bullets in the brain was disclosed by X-ray, the one removed being imbedded almost two inches, while the other was lodged behind the right ear. When the first bullet had been extracted the other was found to be lodged solidly in the tissue. After a consultation it was decided not to touch it. The ineision then was closed, and the patient re- gained consciousness.
 The full operation lasted one hour. A piece of skull the size of a silver dellar first was removed. and into the aperture Dr. Chapman inserted his in- dex finger gently, being careful not to rupture the brain tissue or draw blood. Deeper and deeper, with pain ful slowness, the surgeon probed until his finger came in contact with the bullet. Then the surgeon slowly worked his finger around and under the object, gradually forcing it through the tissue until it touched the side of the skull, and then half lifted, half pushed it, along the wall until 1t reached the opening, where it was taken out with forceps.

Cheap Horses.

Los Angeles, Cal.-"Horses in Mon- tana are selling for $1 per head" de- clared B. M. Gamble, prominent Iowa farmer, who was visitor in the city recently.
 Mir Gamble asserted that he had just travelled through Montana and that owners of ranches there had offered him horses for $1 each if he would take them out of the state. Due to high freight rates, the Montana ranch. CTS cannot dispose of their stock, he said, and as there is no market in the Southwest the ranches have become overstocked with horses of from 300 to 1.30O pounds.

Here's a Tank That Can
 Walk, Float and Dive

Paris.-An amphibious tank was demonstrated to French naval and military authorities at Marseilles by its inventor, Leon Foenquin. The machine resembles the ordinary whippet tank except that it is propelled from the stern. After crossing trenches and climbing walls the tank entered water, cruised on the surface for a while, then dived and crawled ashore along the bottom. Gen. Monro and Admiral Beaussant witnessed the performance.

Westfeld, Mass.--As the re- suit of investigation by the school authorities, who learned that young children are receiv- ing sugar Jumps, soaked in ether, to reduce their appetites, Superintendent Chester D. Stiles took up the matter with state educational and health authorities.
 Ether may be bought in any quantity by child in any drug store. Children, when ques- toned, said that the ether was given them by their parents to lower the cost of living and also to quiet those who got boisterous.
