day expressed himself as most
heartily in favor Of a conference
on the Irislr question.

to the hall were guarded. but a
procession of unemployed tried to
rush the hall. Order was restored
quickly.

ed by de Valera's rejection OF the
offer of dominion home rule" :.
although Great Britain could
unquestionably enforce existing law
in Ireland" he continued. "she
none the less is called on to clear
away all possible misunderstanding
If our offer is rejected we have the
conviction that our countrymen

the present law. but is $S4,O00,O0p
more than the revised total under
the house bill.
Estimated returns this fiscal year
from income and profits taxes are
$3.50, 600, 900. according to the re-
port, as against $3,0C0,O00.O00 of
actual collections in the fiscal year

business depression, diversion of
funds to tax exempt securities and
other causes.

Budapest, Sept. 24.-Ihe luture

"a few years and Russia will be
as powerful as It was before the
war; he asserted. "The fate OF
Russia will decide the fate of Eu-

find their natural ally in Russia,
And IL the difference between Ja-
pan and America becomes aggra7

pan, Russia and Germany will soon
make the world realize that lasting
peace never was farther off the

But in the history of the world old
nations fall and new nations rise to
power England is now attempting
to solve the problem which the
Roman empire could not solve

Where are we to get, in WASH

MULE POWER GAINS IN
POPULARITY IN TEXAS
tBy The Associated Press,

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 24.-Mule
power Is gaining in popularity on
Texas farms, figures of the Texas
industrial congress for six counties
indicate. The information COM
piled by the census bureau shows
that while the number of farm
horses has decreased in the past
ten years in Bell. Collin. Dallas,
Delta. Ellis and Falls counties. the
number of mules has increased, 50
Bell county in 1920 had 11,264
mules, compared with 1858 in
1910, and G.6SS horses. compared
with 10.097 in 1910. Collin county
mules numbered 1886 last year.
compared with 11.943 ten years
ago, and the horses numbered T.
797. compared with lila. In
Dallas county there are 1916
mules, compared with 10.139 ten
years ago. and 6,7S6 horses. COM
has 1886 mules. compared with
1892 and 2,526 horses. compared
with 1901.
The number of mules in Ellis
county last year was 16,02S. COM
pared with 14,272 in 1910. The
horses were $3.50, compared with
9,796. Falls county has 1886
mules, compared with 1851 ten
years ago, and 6.SO1 horses, COM
pared with 9,391.
Mechanical power apparently has
not displaced mules for farm work
in Texas as it has horses for gen.
eral transpoI tation service. In fact
the growth of agriculture in the
state during the past ten-year
period has been accomplished by
an increase in the use of mules, the
census figures indicate.

STANDARD UNIFORM
nv The Associated Press.l

Detroit, Mich. Sept. 24.--The
uniform for women employees OF
the Detroit post toffice has come to
stay. William J. Nagel, postmaster,
has made the announcement after
six months trial.
The uniform, consisting of full
length gray apron with sleeves and
white collar, was made compulsory
by Mr.. Nagel last spring.
Mr.. Nagel announced that all the
600 women employees of the postof-
flee must wear the uniforms "be-
cause many of the girls are spend
ing too much money on dress. be-
cause they are attempting to outdo
one another in this regard, and be-
cause there is grave danger that
such practice will lead to snob-
berry and thereby lower efficiency
in the Detroit postoffice."
When the order was announced
a number of this employees register
ed protests but according to Mr..
Nagel all opposition has disap-
peared.
1.-THE women have found they
can keep cleaner and do better
work. All have been placed on a
common level because all look
alike. Whatever snobbery there
was has been eliminated. The De-

Mr.. WELLER was an indefatigable

volver, which had been packed in
a grip, was beside the dead body.
