Budapest, June ga remarkable
story of how a young Hungarian
made profit of 100000 crowns by
specializing with his wife's dowry and
then sending her and her dowry back
to her father, has just come to light
here.
Four months ago Joseph Klein, a
young merchant of Budapest Of small
means, married Transylvaniar
girl and received with her a dowry OF
100000 Rumanian lei worth al
present exchange rates about one anc
one-fourth cents per lei.)
The bridegroom quickly changed
his wife's dowry into Hungarian cur
rency and received in exchange H.,
100000 crowns, the crown then being
quoted seven to the lei.
After the honeymoon the young
husband found that his good opinion
of both the Rumanian currency ant

ENT|C|NC PROGRAM
At COMMUNITY SING
D N MONDAY NIGHT

The community sing scheduled for
next Monday night at the court house
lawn promises to be the best and big
gest held thus far. The music COM
mittee of Palatka Community Ser
vice has arranged for some extraor-
binary attractions for that evening.
In the first place this sing will not
conflict with any other activity or or
ganization on that night.
This country is now in period OF
musical reconstruction, says Mr.
Teeter. Community singing, while
not really originated as war activ-
ity, at least gained a remarkable
stimulus when it was invoked as q
great patriotic force. Music was
wisely called upon to. be one of the
main forces in stimplating and arous-
ing patriotism. The complete story
of the services of music and musi.
clans in the winning of the war car
never be told. However, abundant
recognition of community singing has
been given by satisfied musical peo'
pie and consequently community sing
ing has been carried on during the
reconstruction days that have fol
lowed.
Community singing in Palatka has
made a remarkable impression upor
the people. The large crowds thai
have assembled at the court house
lawn have proven that this activity
of Community Service is worth while

ben HUR INSURANCE
DECISION RENDERED

Richmond members of the tribe of
Ben Hur will be interested in know
ing that the United States supreme
court has just delivered an opinion ia
vorable to the supreme tribe of Ben
Hur at Charlottesville regarding the
rights of the society to amend its laws
so as to increase insurance premium
ratls on old members in order to put
the society's insurance rates on an
adequate basis.
The case. brought by IS former
members of the society, most of whom
live in Charlottesville and Montgom-
cry county, was originally filed in the
circuit court at Charlottesville nearly
two years ago. 1t was based on the
fact that the tribe of Ben Hur, in re-
adjusting it's rates, created two classes
of members: Glass A, composed of
those who came in on the old rates,
which were regarded as inadequate,
and Glass B. composed of new mem
bers who would come in on the ad-
vanced rates.
The same issue had been raised in
the United States district court of In
diana in 1913 in a case known as the
Blaine case, in which the society won
all it's contentious. This decision was
never appealed from, but as none OF
the plaintiffs in the Blaine case lived
in Indiana, some members of Glass A
brought another suit to test the ques-
ton.
The tribe of Ben Hur, in a suit
brought in the federal court before
Judge Francis E. Baker, asked that
the plaintiffs be enjoined from bring
ing the second suit on the ground that
they, like all members of Glass A out
side Indiana, were bound by the de.
cree in the Blaine cast. Judge Baker
decided against the society. On the
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States, Judge Bakers decision
was reversed in the opinion, which
was handed down.

HARDING IS ADVISED
BY CABINET TODAY
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Presi.
dent Harding and his cabinet spent
two hours today discussing foreign
affairs, the plight of farmers. and the
transportation situation. No decisions
were reached so far as could be learn
ed. The president was understood,
however, to have expressed the opin-
ion that the time had not yet come to
frame definite program in regard to
European affairs. He expects to hold
further conferences on the subject
with senators and representatives be-
fore coming to any definite decision.
The agricultural situation occupied
most of the time of the president and
his advisers. Mr.. Harding is said to
have expressed reluctance to an en-
barge by presidential order of impor-
tation of farm products as urged by
some congressional leaders. The pres
ident made it clear, however, that
something must be done to rescue
agricultural markets from their pres
ent stagnation, and it is understood,
to have been decided in special way
that anti-dumping legislation must be
considered first by the special session
of congress which begins April H.

Law Retirement
IS CAUSE OF CRISIS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 1S.-A political
crisis of the first magnitude has been
created by the retirement of A. Bonar
Law from the British cabinet, it is
declared by the London Times. 9th
err newspapers, while less emphatic,
agree in saying that Mr.. Bonar Laws
resignation is certain to have con-
siderable political effect and that it
probably VIII materially weaken the
coalition government. 1t is pointed
out that no successor to Bonar Law
is likely to work so we'll with Prime
Minister Lloyd George, and the Graph
ic suggests that if Mr.. Lloyd George
is called upon to face a prospect of
unsympathetic association he may
find the strain of office intolera BILE
and will follow Mr.. Bonar Law into
retirement.
There are many forecasts relative
to the new Unionist leader whom the
party will elect on Monday. Austen
Chamberlain. chancellor of the ex-
chequer; Sir Robert Horne. president
of the board of trade, and Sir Edwa I'd
Carson are given most prominent
mention as being probable successors
to Bonar Law. Mr.. Chamberlain, who
is reported not to be in robust health.
would presumably be appointed gov
eminent leader in the house of COM
mons, in addition to the position of
lord privy seal, and in that case might
find it impossible to continue to hold
the CHARACTERISTIC. People close to
Mr.. Lloyd George have indicated that
Sir Robert Horne might succeed Mr..
Chamberlain. while the presidency of
the board of trade might be taken by
Sir P. Lloyd Greene, at present par
liamentary secretary for the board, or
Stanley Baldwin, financial secretary
of the treasury.
