WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-John H.
Farr. Republican of Scranton, Pa,
took his seat in the house today as
representative of the Tenth Pennsyl-
vania district as the result of action
by the house last night in voting to
unseat Patrick McLane, also of Scran-
ton. who has held his seat throughout
the present congress. Mr.. Farr will
draw sci 900 salary and incidental ex-
penses for the six days he will serve
in the house.
After the house voted 161 to 121 to
remove McLane, the new member was
Immediately declared elected and was
sworn in just before midnight. The
proceedings against McLane were
based on charges that he had violated
the Corrupt Practices Act, and also
that there had been wholesale election
frauds in his return to congress.
The princely remuneration that goes
with Representative Fairs six days of
service, approximating rate of $500
a day, results from computation OF
salary and incidental allowances to
cover the entire two-year period of the
congress to which the house has held
him to have been rightfully elected.
While McLane also has drawn pay for
the entire two years, lacking the six
days remaining of the present con-
gress he is requested to make no re-
fund, the single seat costing the gov
ernment in effect almost twice the
stimulated figure.

JAPANESE MAY END
SIBERIAN OCCUPATION
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, Feb. 26-Reference to the
question of Japanese occupation of
the maritime province of Siberia was
omitted in the recent note from Toxic
to Washington relative to the death
of Lieutenant Langdon. who was shot
and killed at Vladivostok by a Japan
ese sentry. In the original communi-
cation regarding the death of Lieut.
enant Langdop, the presence of Japan
ese forces in eastern Siberia was one
of the significant features of the u. S.
position.
The idea of withdrawing forces from
the mainland of Siberia is gaining
ground in official circles, declares the
Kokumin Shimbun. Contributing fac
tors to this movement is the judgment
of the court martial in censuring JAP
anese military officials which in a
sense is held to endorse the American
view that no useful purpose can be
served by the continued presence of
Japanese in Siberia.
The establishment OF the Chita gov
ernment by the Far Eastern republic
is another element in the situation.
Although Viscount Uchida, foreign
minister, recently declared before the
Japanese diet that the government
had no intention at present to with
draw its forces, the Kokumin Shin
bun says members of the cabinet are
beginning to believe that either the
Langdon affair. or the creation OF the
Chita government, or both, should be
seized upon as an excuse for evacua-
ton

PEOPLE IS ADVICE
CBv Associated Press,

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb 26.-Devol-
opment of the community center was
urged today by Col. c. Seymour Bull
lock. of South Bend, Ind, before the
community center section Of the Ma
tional Education association His
topic was THE Chamber of Com
merce as a Promoter of Community
Centers"
I'VE can't fool nature" he said. "by
offering the adolescent girl an en-
broidery class or prayer meeting es-
pecially for young ladies. Every nor
NAL girl wants the society of a young
man, and she is going to have it. You
must not quarrel with her if God saw
fit to use such strange ingredients in
her making.
'"The curfew bell will not solve the
problem. The city girl is not going
home to sit with an overworked, irrit-
able mother in dimly lighted, ,unat-
tractive home shared by several cry
ing children. The country-born girl
will find some way. legitimate or 9TH
erwise, to crafty her wholly normal
desire for company.
Society must come to the rescue.
The chamber of commerce, through
it's public welfare committee, stands
sponsor for a sane attempt to provide
community center for those whose
needs cannot otherwise be met"
Village community schools offering
courses of study related to farm life
and to the simple arts, crafts and
trades of the village were urged by
w. S. Deffenbaugh. of the United
States Bureau of Education.
Village school improvement, or viii
lage improvement of any kind, he
said, will take place when the villager
learns that the village is not and
never will be city, and that it's ex-
istence and prosperity are dependent
upon the farming population trading
at it.
ITO know things at home is TO
know the world" he said, $50 courses
of study based upon community life
would prepare country children to live
fully and completely, not only in their
own community, but in any other
