Hon. Warren G. Harding,

Dear Pres.--We are sorry that it
will be impossible at this time for US
to accept the enthusiastically to zap,
In the first place we do not like the
climate and then we cannot subsiSt on
a diet of cocoanuts and bananas. Then
again. we understand that zap is
about to be the hotbed of war with
Japan, ard we have had enough wa
to last US for several centuries.
We know you have appointed one
great Journalist to London and would
like to have another in zap, and W.
oil tho uf ion o(l
objections were it not that we would
have to give up column writing, which
brings us in somewhat in the way OF
remune ration-almost enough in fact
to keep US out of debt, and one can't
do this with an amSassadorship.
We do not like the way the ladies
dress in zap. They wear hay skirts
and necklaces, we understand, and are
beginning TO dress more and more
like Fifth avenue every day. This is
unfortunate and we do not wish to
witness the humiliation Of a great
race such as the Yappars are.
We hope you will not take this decli-
nation too much to heart and that you
will be able to find some great writer
to take the place. rs for us, we can
see enough yaps right around here
every day.
We cannot accept and could not &C
cept the place. even if you offered
il to us. Sincerely R. X. NJ.

BIGnaes Parents PenuTy
for RunGWGy Daughters
Famous Chicago P0LiceWOnaan GiUes Her
Recipe for Saving Girls From Ruin.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Blame for runa-
way daughters was placed squarely upon
the shoulders of parents today by Mrs.
Alice Clemons, Chicago's famous police
woman.
Mrs. Clemons issued a warning to the
Nations parents to prevent their girls
from leaving home. Girls, suffering from
spring restlessness, are disappearing in
greater numbers than ever before, she
said. Two hundred cases of missing
girls have been reported to Chicago po-
lice this spring.
This advice was given parents by Mrs.
Clemons who is herself the mother Of
three grown daughters:
Do not take every cent of your daugh-
ter's income when she starts working.
Take a reasonable amount for board and
room, make he. save some and then give
her plenty Of spending money.
The girls want pretty things. II they
cannot buy them out Of their own In
come. they viii get them some way.
Parents should fix up their homes SO
that the daughter need not be ashamed

zation, Early H. Morton of Chicago, in

PREDICT DEATH
OF HOUR SAVING
Enemies of Proposed Measure
Say 1t viii Fail by Vote
of 6 to 2.

If the daylight saving ordinance is re-
ported out Of committee at the regular
city council meeting tonight It probably
will be defeated by vote of 6 to 2, enc
mics Of the measure predict. Letters,
copies Of resolutions and personal solicit
tations dealing with time changes con-
tinued to pour in on every member Of
the council, manufacturing interests for
the most part making statements In ia
vor and the great mass Of unorganized
citizens taking the opposite view.
No measure which has been before the
present council has ever stirred up such
a widespread expression of opinion as
has the daylight saving bill. Not even
changes In the traffic code have caused
such a storm. 1t was understood that
both sides win keep on lobbying up to
the last minute before the council meet
ing. Those opposed to the ordinance
were planning TO pack the council cham
Der with working people who were un-
able to get to the public hearing held
Friday afternoon. The friends Of the
measure also expected to be represented.
An ordinance transferring $4,000 from
the fire department horse reed fund or
the board Of public safety to the gasoline,
oil and grease fund will be introduced.
With motorization of the department
practically complete there is no need for
money for horse feed and a greater need
for motor fuel and lubricants,N 1t was ex-
planned

MUSHROOM COPS
ARE TRIED OUT
City Experiments With Traffic
Device.

City officials began today to believe
that they have at last found a type of
silent policeman which will stand the
gaff. For almost a week one of the
traffic signs, which a few weeks ago
was repeatedly knocked down by care
less motorists at Michigan and Me-
ridian streets, has stood at this same
corner unmoved The "cop" consists Of
a bright yellow standard, surmounted
with a white globe bearing a green
band around its middle. A gas light
flashes rapidly within the globe at
night.
The secret of the "cop's' present
ability to keep from being knocked
down every hour lies IN the fact that 1t
Is mounted on a concrete platform,
eighteen inches high and three feet in
diameter.
A new type of light designed to slow
up traffic at danger points is being
tried out at Meridian and Sixteenth and
Meridian and Thirtieth streets. 1t is
called q mushroom light and consists
Of an eighteen-inch red globe, covered
with an arched cast steel CRATE set
few inches above the pavement. The
crate is one inch thick, making it prac-
tlcally indestructable and is painted
yellow, making 1t visible for several
blocks In the day time. Strong electric
lights are placed within the red globe,
and are turned on at the same time the
street light overhead is lighted, making
the maintenance cost very low.
The city has not purchased any of the
devices, all being placed on test by their
manufacturers. The silent cop" type
costs around $160 and the mushroom"
type 500.

MILITIA SMOKES
OFT GUERRILLAS

WILLIAMSON, W. Va. May 16.--With
the arrival Of several companies Of Ken
lucky National Guard. the first roundup
Of the leaders in the attacking forces
which have been making war along the
Tug River front has started. The mill
tiamen have started combing the densely
wooded sections Of the mountains.
Five men, alleged leaders in the in
surrection, have been placed under ar
rest.
There is CONT arative calm ali along the
Tug River battle front. A few stray
shots we're fired IN the sectors where
fighting has been heaviest in the last few
days. II is feared that the lull IS only
temporary and more trouble is expected.
One reason assigned for the let-up In
hostilities Is that the supply Of ammu-
milton Is running low. Reports have
filtered through the mountain Businesses
that plans have been sent 20 Washington
for troops by Governor Morgan and In
some quarters the cessation Of hostili-
ties is regarded as a strategic move oo
the part OF the leaders OF the attacking
forces. BY stopping the fighting fer a
while at least, the sending Of Federal
troops may be averted and in the mean
time the attackers can secure a fresh
supply Of ammunition. Resumption Of
hostilities at an opportune time seems
certain.
The warfare which has been carried
on for three days knows no mercy. AT
New Howard, scene OF heavy fighting Sat
urday, a woman was about TO become a
mother. Physicians would not venture
across the opening space surrounding her
home and face death. Neighbors had
abandoned their homes but the woman
was too ill to Zee to the mountains. In
the darkness OF night there. amid a
shower CT bullets, a new life came into
the world
At Merrimac a woman with a baby In
her arms sought to * to the substation,
a short distance away, for protection. As
she crossed the open space she was fired
upon, but escaped injury.

QUIET ALONG FRONT

WASHINGTON, May 16.-PresideDt
Harding today refused an appeal for
Federal troops for the West Virginia
coal fields. where there has been inter
mittent warfare during the past week.
The appeal was made to. the President
by Senator Sutherland, on behalf OF
Governor Morgan Of West Virginia. Sec
retary Weeks was present when the ap-
peal was made to the President
The President stated that he did not
believe it would bQ wise to send Federal
troops into West Virginia at this time.
The President, L is understood, in
formed Senator Sutherland that he did
not like to establish precedent by
sending Federal troops into a sovereign
State unless he was assured that there
was organized rebellion. 1t is under
stood that the President indicated that
he feared the West Virginians were
"hys@ricaF' and that they could cope
with the situation without the aid Of
Federal forces
