Verbal Pyrotechnics in
 United States Senate

@ RATORY was at fever heat in " the Senate when President Harding's proposal that the soldier bonus bill be recommitted to the finance committee was debated.
 Senator Borah of Idaho charac- terized Senator Kenyon's amend ment instructing the committee to report back the bill early in Janu- ary as "moral cowardice." Senator Watson of Georgia, whose oratorical powers have suffered no diminution since his elevation to the Senate, described recommittal as "a floral wreath on the grave of the bill" The picturesque "Pat" Harrison of Mississippi called President Harding dictator" and urged his imbattled colleagues not to surrender" Sen ator Reed of Missouri, who never feels fit unless he is fighting, de- clared that recommittal would be polite way of killing the bill" and said President Harding had failed to state in his address "when the stone would be rolled away from the sepulchre. If there is a spark of life left in it when it is filled with the Penrose embalming fluid" continued Senator Reed, "the Angel Gabriel could not resurrect it."
 Senator Kenyon wanted to know why there was shortage of funds to pay the ex-service men a bonus when the people paid $1,600,000 "to see a stacker knock a Frenchman into insensibility." Senator Borah referred to the tax payers Dan tean hell of misery" which would be made more Dantean if the bill were enacted and scared to new heights of pathos when he asked, "What use is it to give the soldier few dollars if you thereby de- crease the value of the Liberty Bonds bought by his mother and in- crease the taxes paid by his father?"
 All of which is both instructive and interesting, and withal not lit- tie entertaining. Whatever may be the shortcomings of the United States Senate, disinclination to talk on the slightest provocation is not one of them and when a sena- tor is trying to fashion a neat bit of oratory he doesn't mind giving free rein to his imagination. Sen ator Kenyon's reference to the ter sey City battle was, as the lawyers say, "irrevalent and immaterial." The money paid by spectators who l
 saw the fight did not come out of the United States treasury and even if it had come out of the treasury there is a considerable difference between $1,600,000 and $3,OO0,O00,- 900 to $5,OoO,oOo,ooo.

The fruits are often more than two inches long and nearly five inches in circumference The flavor is said to suggest that of the logan berry. The plant Is not likely to be hardy in the northern states, but is expected to be of value for crossing with native species to give greater size to the fruits. The name of the new species is Rubus macrocarpus.

WEIRD BANKING


 From the New Orleans Item,
 Jonas Perry. cashier of small bank in Bossier parish, was con victed Saturday of receiving deposits, knowing the bank was insoivent. The particular deposit was made the day the bank closed and the state bank examiner and his assistants say that the bank has been insolvent for four or five years. They found this out after the bank was closed. They did not discover it before though the bank received a periodical examina- tion il or 12 days before Perry tArned the key on what was left in 1t and went on tour.
 It appears that state inspector failed because Perry cidn't play the ame" by putting it all on the books. The sheets slowing the accounts that had been falsified were taken out of the banks ledger by somebody, par tially burned and laid aside on top of the vault. The finding of these was the bank inspectors first clue to the operations which left the bank over st0o,000 short and in position to pay 25 per cent if all goes we'll.
 As to what became of the $100,000 and more. Perry's trial did not dis close a clue. It did show that Perry was in sole charge, was not even al lowed an assistant, was paid small salary, s10O month after Is years, and had been refused an advance of s125.
 The easier naively said he after wards raised himself to s125. And this gives an accurate indication of how much su2ervisien the bank g officers and directors gave it. They never found out he had raised his own salary till he went on the wit ness stand.
 Upon this aspect of the case, Perry said: q could never get any asss- tance from the directors in conduct ing the affairs of the bank. I have had all the . Irk to do myself. l have never ha da vacation. I have been out of the town only one or two days each year." And the president oi never had vacation. I have been president of the bank for six years he said, "and during that time have never called a meeting of ths board of directors. Perry, the cashier was trusted completely" The bank presidents said he had lost s1S,000 ir the bank, but he win probably gei l little sympathy in his loss. It will bt reserved for the innocent depositors who trusted him and his fellow di- rectors with their hard-earned money one dollar out of every four. | Nobody knows where the none, wen. Perry says he doesn't know but that he never used "a single dol lar of the banks money" He didn travel, he didn't speculate, he didn indulge in riotous living. He turne, worth of property his life's accumu lation. His wife said she never saw a dollar of the money and can't i'm agine what Perry did with it, if h. got it. Perry says he hasn't hidden 1t
 Other charges are pending agains the cashier, during the trial of whicI light many be thrown on the los | money. Public interest will probabl, center upon the bad state of affair which enabled this country banl cashier to go. on unchecked by tn president or directors of the bank or anybody else.

The resolution urges Provincial
Committees to arrange a boycott in

opinion that the National Congress
should inform neighboring and other
States that the Government of India,
whose policy traditiOnally is guided
by considerations looking more to
holding India under subsection than
to protecting her borders," in no way
represented Indian opinion, and that

Washington, Oct. 11.-There is

lief from the attacks of dizziness and
has been on the improving list since
