the city should on October | terminate

"To do this. notice must be given

Lady Randolph was a woman of re
markable sagacity and shrewdness In
politics long before the present era Of
woman,s activity. She was generallv
believed to be the principal factor in
attaining the celebrity and eminenco
achieved by Lord Randolph Cburcbill
10 such an extent was this the case that
Lord Randolph would frequently display
irritation at the notion of his wife being
responsible for his success.
During the lifetime of Lord Randolpb
Churchill her salon was famous. Xii
things. in her home were arranged on n
princely scale.
Years ago Lady Randolph stirred Eu.
rope by publishing remarkable mapa
zine which sold for So. 1t was known
as a magazine for royalty, and contained
articles by the German Emperor, the
Prince of Wales, now King of England .
the Princess Of Wales and Felix Faurc'

Lady Randolph was personally dec.
Grated by Queen Victoria with the Or
der of the Star of India in recognition
Of her brilliant efforts in behalf of that
country during the trying months of a
terrible famine that desolated that land.
The Queen gave a special audience at
Windsor to bestow the honor upon her.

question remains whether it should
do so.
1--WE have sought advice from the
Bureau of Municipal Research as to the
comparative cost of municipal or con-
tract street cleaning as indicated by the
records of the Department of Public
Works, and they advise us that. upon
the most conservative estimate, the city
will save S150,000 by making this
change on October /.
The other advantages from a public
standpoint of municipal over contract
street cleaning have been recently dis
cussed, are well known and require no
statement now. In taking over the
work of street cleaning on October | e,
IL Council authorizes 1t to be done. we
assume that no injustice will be done
the contractors, that their rights will
be respected and where possible that
their equipment will be taken off their
hands at reasonable prices.
No Duty to Continue Their Contracts
''This course we deem only fair. espe-
cially as the contracts are being termi-

Quarantine
OF Potatoes
Is Amended

Details relative to a quarantine
amendment, prohibiting the i'm
portation Of any common potatoes
from California into Oregon until
they have been found free of tuber
moths by Official inspectors both
in California and Oregon, were to-
day made public by Charles A.
Park of Salem, president of tho
Oregon state board of horticulture,
The amendment, which is made
in connection with quarantine No.
3, was drawn up by Mr.. Park fol-
lowing conferences with California
and Idaho officials which were
held in Los Angeles, Sacramento
and San Francisco, and is now in
effect, having been signed by Gov
ernor Olcott and Mr.. Park.
The quarantine has been put in
effect with a view to preventing
the introduction into Oregon of
the tuber moth which is said to
infest California potatoes at the
present time. Shipments of new
potatoes from California into the
northwest are now being made.
The conferences in California
were attended by plant quarantine
officers of Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.

OlcottUrges
TriptoAlaska
Upon Harding

President Warren G. Harding,
il impressed favorably with sug-
gestions contained in a letter to
him today by Governor Olcott, may
arrange to accompany the govern
Ors of the various states on their
proposed trip to Alaska during the
coming summer. At the last con-
vention of the executives, held in
Harrisburg, Pa, a proposal was Of
fered that the next meeting Of the
governors should be held on ship
board en- route to and returning
from Alaska. Recently Governor
Olcott received a letter from Miles
G. Riley of Madison, Wis, secre-
tary of the governors conference,
in which he said that the Alaska
cruise would be arranged in case a
majority of the 48 executives fav-
ored such a trip. Also that the
government probably would pro-
vide steamer accommodations for
the governors and their families.
while this matter is emanating
from me and is not coming Off
cially from the governors confer
ence l am taking the liberty of
advising the secretary with rela-
tion to my suggestion, said Gov
ernor Olcott in his letter to Presi-
dent Harding. Il am urging if
possible that the trip be arranged
so as to include yourself and par
ty. / think this would be a splen-
did thing for yourself and all the
states if you would be able to be-
come a member of our party to

"It would give you splendid
opportunity to become acquainted
with the chief executives of the
several states and at the same time
give them an equally splendid op-
portunity to become acquainted
with the president Of the United
States"

this statement.
Mr.. Furuseth then said that
since the conference had failed to

nothing more to be done and the
meeting broke up.
After the meeting Mr.. Furuseth
invited Mr.. Brown to go with him
as a committee and lay their case
before President Harding.

ments between the shipping board,

ers expire tomorrow. While no
strike order has been issued by the
seamen, union leaders said the
failure to reach a wage agreement
before expiration OF existing con-
tracts would necessarily mean a
general strike OF 125.900 seafar-
ing men, affecting all American
shipping except that on the Great
Lakes.
Chairman Benson called at the
White House in the afternoon but
would not say whether a discus
sion Of the threatened marine
strike was the purpose. He said
he believed the representatives of
the unions were anxious to avoid a
strike IL they could find reason
able way out.

Washington, April 29.-Presi-
dent Harding and his cabinet are
understood to have discussed the
German reparations proposals
again today. Secretary Hughes
laid before them the views of the
principal allied powers with re-
gard to the offer. Meantime the
American reply to the German
communication was held up.
While the cabinet was consid-
ering the question 1t became
known that Great Britain and
Italy had not definitely rejected
the German offer as unacceptable
as a basis for negotiations. 1t
was understood, however, that the
French and Belgian views as
transmitted to Mr.. Hughes were
that the terms were unacceptable.
According to information in
usually well informed quarters
Secretary Hughes still is hopeful
that negotiations between the
allies and Germany can be re-
opened. 1t is said that even If a
final decision is not reached be-
fore the French begin to move
into additional German territory
the exchanges can continue after
that time.
Ambassador Ricci of Italy,
called on Secretary Hughes at the
state department some time after
the cabinet adjourned.
Announcement was withheld,
but 1t was understood that the
reparations question was dis
cussed.

Old Adage Is indicated
Nurse PYOUeS
Will Supplies A Means

Where there is a will there's a
way-and in public health work
this old adage doubly applies.
In a certain community lived, or
rather existed. a foreign family
possessed of eleven children, a
three-room shack, unspeakable liv-
ing conditions, and a father with
tuberculosis, who insisted he did
not have the disease. He lived ac-
cordingly, having no regard for
the protection Of the children.
When his cuspidor became full to
overflowing with venomous sput-
um, he emptied it in the yard
where the children played.
The neighbors were enraged but
dared not interfere because the
man kept loaded gun and threat
ened to use it.
The present Marion county
nurse was notified. 1t is a nurses
duty, just as it is a fireman's OF
soldiers, to go where duty calls.
She called at the home and was all
but thrown out after a stormy in
terview. She perseyered and called
again later, this time obtaining re-
suits. The father consented to
have a free examination. The
whole family was examined and
the father was persuaded to go to
a hospital.
Through the suggestions Of the
nurse, the mother Of the big fam
lily discovered soap and wateri She
scrubbed everything. Sne go. some
I've and secured floors and walls
and poured chloride OF lime over
the backyard. The whole family
was taught to sleep with open
windows, to eat better foods, and
most important-to keep clean.
Such was the viii and the way
Of one county nurse.
