er station in the United States.
2. Q.-Who drew up the League of
Nations?
2. A.-No one person formulated

ions and ideas of many persons were

"More things are wrought by pray

found?
8. A.-This is line from Tenny-
sons "Morte d'Arthur."

catastrophe and collapse OF the
system.
5. Q.-How and by whom are the
Samoan Islands governed?
5. A.-The Samoan Islands east Of

6. @. How many people in the
United States keep house servants?
A. The last census on occupa-
tions showed that in SO 31-2 per

sky after sunset the Edison star,
ana is II dTClIlCldl
A The Naval Observatory says
there is no star known as the Ed

in gbefore the United States railroad
labor board that national shop agree

matum on employees.

wages. No percentage of decrease
was named.

President Considers
Expansion of U. S.
Foreign Commerce

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Presi-
dent Harding today took up active
consideration Of the expansion of
Americas foreign trade.
There were strong indications that
before he has finished consideration
of the subject he may conclude to
combine the shipping board with the
commerce department, step which
would require the sanction Of con-
gress.
With Admiral Benson, chairman of
the shipping board, Mr.. Harding
went over trade routes now travelled
by American vessels. The shipping
board specifies the routes in which
ships shall travel even when they
are put into private hands for opera
ton. Admiral Benson came to the
White House with a huge roll of
maps and spent some time with Mr..
Harding.
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover is
also undertaking a similar study,
having appointed a committee of
business men to consider the sub
ject and make recommendations to
him.
