BY DAVID LAwRENCE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-There
are two ways to tell who will be
in the cabinet of President Harding.
One is Mr.. Harding's own announce
ment, and the other is definite ar
rangements made by the individuals
concerned to enter public life, such
as severing business connections and
packing their household goods.
Definite evidence has come to the
writer that John w. Weeks, former
senator from Massachusetts,, is pre-
pairing to take over the portfolio of
secretary of war. Within the last
week Mr.. Weeks has sent for prelimi-
nary data so that he may make
survey of the entire war department.
Charles Evans Hughes is winding
up his legal affairs so as to be
ready for the secretary Of state.
Hoover to Get Post
A. w. Mellon, Of Pittsburg, has
resigned as director of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and will become secre-
tary of the treasury.
cago, who was previously mentioned
for this place, probably will become
governor of the federal reserve board,
succeeding w. P. G. Harding, who is
about to resign to become president
Of the $1OO0OO,OOO export corpora
ton.
Harry M. Daugherty will be attor-
nov, 0anara1 and Will HAYS pOStmaS-
ter general.
Herbert Hoover will be in the cab1-
net as secretary of commerce.
Henry Wallace, of Des Moines, Ia,
will be secretary of agriculture.
A. T. Hert, of Kentucky, who was
conspicuously mentioned tor secr re-
tary of war. will not be in the capl-
net, but will be rewarded by BENG
given some other post of prominence.
Three Places Still Open
This leaves the portfolios of navy,
interior and labor undetermined, and
every one Of Mr.. Harding's advisers
and close friends who might be pre-
sumed to know. including some o.
those who had la sefnIn tie t @ant
south, frankly confess that they are
up in the air about those three posi-.
lions. Indeed, Mr.. Harding hlmself
is weighing the merits of the va

come to no decision yet.
1t would not be surprising, how
ever. if after all the the TAX talR a eout
ernor Of Illinois. finally. was asked
Ia become SECRETARY Of the navy.
The change Of Mr.. Weeks from navy
to war is at the bottom of 1T.
Everybody believed that MT
Weeks wanted to be secretary of the
navy because he is a graduate OF
the naval academy at Annapolis, but
in truth Mr.. Weeks wanted to be
secretary of the treasury, as he, is
a banker. His own objection to pc
coming secretary of the navy was
that he would be embarrassed in
passing upon promotions of his own
class mates who are now high othcers
in the American navy.

THANKS TO LIZZIE.

The rich people ever go touring
In huge and splendiferous cars
THAT move with a smoothness alluring
Protected from jolts and from Jars:
Our care shakes the spine and the
liver,
And yet it's our joy and our pride
'rhe little old family flivver
That cheerfully takes us to ride.
lt'S true when we go for n spin, II
IL crowded wherever 1t wends;
Tor all of the family's In it.
Along with a number of friends.
Though packed till, we scarcely can
CULVER.
We still can enjoy all the while
che little old family flivver
Which. carries us mile after mile!
It's funny and dowdy and battered.
It rattles and jounces a lot,
1sut somehow that never has mattered
Compared to the fun that we got
In riding by hill. lake and river.
Wherever we happened to steer,
che little old family flivver
That's served us for many year.
WhaS care We ior Huu-suarus tnat

Or springs that complain as we run?
This care has brought magic and

It's made us all pals with the sun.

Its cylinders miss. yet We praise
The little old family flivver
That adds to the fun of our days.

THE PUBLICITY BILL.

In discussing the bill to require
county commissioners, school boards,
etc.. to publish the financial and other
proceedings Of their meetings, Judge
j. c. B. Koonce, of Sumpter said:
"This would be good bill II for no
other reason than that IL would help
to make life easier for the struggling
newspapers of the state.
-''The great daily papers care MOTH
ing about the passage of this meas
ure except as taxpayers, DESTROYS to
know the exact truth. If they printed
the proceedings it would be the mer-
est pittance Of their receipts. It is
the smaller country papers-the in
situations which do more han any
other in proportion to their means to
build up the state-to whom this would
be of some benefi.
81 sincerely hope that there is no
need for the publicity this bill seeks
to give in Washington county, but
when they oppose it SO strenuousiy
from there, it's time for the rest OF US
to take notice."
Representative Etheredge put on the
amendment that, If it remains. will de-
feat the purpose of the bill so far
as the smaller towns of the state are
concerned. His amendment was that
no towns Of less than 5000 people
should be required to print their pro-
ceedings.

tice as much as they would one in
the paper" he asked.
Representative williams Of Talla-
hassee, laughed at the idea.
II have been clerk Of this city for
more than 20 years." said he. I'm my
judgment not SO people have read the
posted ordinances of the town in that
time.
Representative Scales pointed out
how the Etheredge amendment would
work in the small towns by telling his
the council of his city recently let a
contract for $4,000 job.
"The proceedings did not become
known until 30 days after when it was
too late to demonstrate" said he.
-Four -fifths Of our people are firmly
convinced that the town has lost not
less than $4,000 by the secrecy"
Mr.. Scales went on to say that this
was not distinctively newspaper bill
but was supported by them just as
other taxpayers would support a
measure because they knew that it
would be for the financial safeguard
ing of their communities. The news
papers are the great builders of our
state and of our towns, said he.

sHIPBUiLpERs EXTEND SCOPE.

More than ordinary interest has
been aroused by the action OF the At
lantic Coast Shipbuilders' association
in extending its field Of usefulness to
cover the entire shipbuilding indus
try, by making eligible for member
ship every ship yard and repair plant
on the. Atlantic seaboard and the Cult
Of Mexico, according to announcement
by Clarence Samuel King, secretary of
the association.
Details Of the organization plan as
outlined by Mr.. King call for the es-
adjustment Of sectional organizations
with their own local officers in every
shipbuilding district along the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts. Such sections are
now maintained in New England, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, all
of which will be greatly enlarged by
taking in the marine repair plants in
those districts. and 1t Is planned to or
ganize other sections in the Southern
ports.
consolidation OF the. forces of all
branches of the industry will greatly
aid in establishing shipbuilding, on a
permanent business basis" 1t was
stated by Mr.. King. "and lend further
power to the association as a potent
influence in the advancement OF the
American Merchant Marine. Applica-
tions for membership have already
been received from several ship re-
pair yards and we are in touch with
all other such plants In the East with
the view OF developing closer bust
ness relations, securing united and
cooperative action on the fundamental
problems of the industry. and stand
ardizihg as fast as possible the condi-
tions under which marine work is
done"

WEALTH AND DEBTS or NATIONS

The financial statsitcian Of Commerce
and Finance has compiled same inter-
esting figures. showing the wealth and
debts OF the leading nations OF the
world.
A study OF these figures ought to give
Americans rather comfortable feeling
when they compare their lot with that
Of the citizens Of other nations.
The countries dealt with are the
United States. Great Britain. France.
Russia, Italy. Japan. Germany and
Austria Hungary.
The estimated total wealth Of all
eight is a thousand billion dollars.
The wealth Of the United States Is es-
timated at five hundred billions, or ex-
actly one-haf the total.
The total debts Of the eight nations
is two hundred and fifty-seven billion
dollars. or more than 60 per cent Of
their total wealth.
The total debts Of the seven nations
other than the United States is two
hundred and thirty-three billion dol
lars, or about SO per cent of>their to-
tai wealth.
The total debt OF the United States
is, roughly. twenty-four billion dollars,
or less than five per cent Of its total
wealth.
The British debt is almost double
ours. about 20 per cent of its wealth.
france owes fifty lone billion dollars,
81 per cent OF its wealth. Italy owes
nearly twenty billions. about so per
cent Of its wealth. Russia owes about
twenty-five billions, 40 per cent of its
wealth.
The figures for Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary seem almost Incredible.
The formers debt is 312 per cent Of
it's wealth and the latter's 2710 per
cent.
Bankruptcy is a mild word to use in
connection with the financial situation
of Austria Hungary.
Little Japan is the only nation in the
lot In the same class with the United
States. Although her national wealth
is but forty billions. as compared with
our five hundred billions, her debt is
less than two billions, slightly under
ours in percentage.
