NEW CONGRESS
HAS INF P0RTANT
SESSION AHEAD
President Anxious to
Get Allied Debt and
Other Bills Out of Way
Officials Urge Optional
Levy Provision Be Put
in New Measure.

Washington, Dec. President
Harding's message to the new con-
gress next week, it was declared in
| high official circles Thursday will deal
principally with two subjects: The
tariff and the merchant marine.
OF the tariff, Mr.. Harding is ex-
pected by those close to the White
House to say that its revision and
passage at the earliest possible date
is urgently necessary and that 1t should
be stripped of such provisions as would
Marine Questions
Considering the merchant marine
question, Mr.. Harding is expected to
take a definite stand for the granting
of some sort of ship subsidy, prob
ably in the nature of preferential rates
and routes, as supplementary to the
shipping through the Panama canal. 1t
was expected also in the same quar-
ters that the president would discuss
section 24 of the Jones act, dealing
with the abrogation of trade treaties
by the executive. Study of the situa-
tion was said to have developed feel
ing on the part of administration Of
ficials that it would be difficult, il not
impossible to carry out the provisions
of this section.
Tariff Matters First
Tariff matters, senate leaders in
sisted, would occupy the prominent
position in the message It was as
serted that Mr.. Harding would ask
that rates in the house bill, now in the
hands oY the senate finance committee,
be fixed on the old basis of invoice fea-
lures rather than on the house pro-.
vision of American wholesale valua-
ton.
His reason for that stand, according
to some of his counsellors. was that he
had been assured it would be better
to apply the he wsystem piecemeal than
by employing the plan on all commodl-
ties at one time.
Regarding Foreign Debts.
To that end, it was stated also, the
president is expected to urge an op-
tional provision in the measure, en-
powering him to apply the home value
basis where, after certain surveys, it
is found to be advisable or necessary,
such course was regarded by con-
gressional tariff builders as obviat-
ing the necessity for computing the
rates on what opponents of the Ameri-
can valuation plan describe as un-
known quantities.
Mr.. Harding is expected to urge i'm
funding bill While this was repre-
sented as his attitude Thursday, di-
vergence of opinion among senators
as to the wisdom of taking up the
measure during the sessions of the
conference on limitation of armaments,
it was said by some, may yet force q
change in that stand. 4i

Body
of Child Found
in Basement

Chicago, Dec. 1.-Two theories
were advanced Thursday night by
the, police and psychopaths In an
effort to solve the mystery which
shrouds ths death of pretty 3-year-
old Margaret Coughiin, whose body
dismembered and mangled with a
saw and half cremated in a base
ment stove, was found Thursday
In the home of Ralph PeHses, a
neighhor of the Coughlin family.
The body of Mrs. Penses was
found In an upstairs room in the
house, her throat slashed with a
bread knife.
The absence of any motive for
the crime was explained by the
theory that Mrs. Penses had killed
the CoughIin child in fit of in
sanity and had committed suicide
when detectives started to batter
down the doors of her home.
The other theory was that Mrs.
Penses had given the CoughIin baby
poison, which she had mistaken for
medicine and then had become
frightened and attempted to con-
ceai the child.
Penses and his two daughters
are being held and an inquest Is
to be held Friday.
The Coughiin haby, daughter of
Edward Coughiin, policeman,
went to the Penses home to play
Wednesday afternoon. The Cough
Inns became alarmed and upon
questioning, Mrs. Penses declared
the child had become i'll and gone
home.
Search for the little girl ended
Thursday morning when Cough
lin was attracted by a thin Wisp
Of smoke issuing from the Penses
home. The doors were battered
down and the little girls body was
found dismemhered in the base
ment, part of 1t in a wash boiler
under which fire had been
lighted.

SAVE THE RACE FROM POISON
Work That Nature Has Ordained for
the Leaves Is Indispensable
to Humanity.

That we owe a big debt of gratitude
to the old elm tree, and to the CHINA
mon rosebush, and even to the big
pigweed that jeers at us from the
corn rows, is driven home to us by
Sollta Solano in an article on the
microscope In the American boy.
Every one learns, says the writer,
that animals live through breathing In
from the air pure oxygen and breath
ing out poisonous carbon dioxide. But
how many ever stop to think where
the poison goes after 1t Is breathed
out and where our fresh supply Of
oxygen comes from?
Leaves are four-fifths water and al
most all the rest carbon. They get
the carbon from the air, breathing 1t
In through multitudes Of tiny mouths.
In one square inch of lilac leaf there
are 100000 mouths. These oriflces
take into the leaves of the world the
100000 carloads Of carbon dioxide
that are passed daily into the atmos-
phere. The leaves break up the car
bon dioxide into its original elements,
carbon and oxygen. They retain the
carbon and give us back pure oxygen
in return. Thus they maintain nat
ural equilibrium we owe our very ex-
istence to the trees and plants.
Without the microscope we should
never have known about the mouths
Of the leaves and what an all-impor-
tant part they play in our lives.

WHEN THE FLESH "CREEPs"
Sensations of Fear and Horror Cause
Progressive Contraction Of the
ErectlVe Muscles.

When one Is greatly frightened and
impulses 90 out from the brain centers
to the erector muscles the progressive
contraction of the latter can be dis
tlnctly felt. This sensation commonly
attends the emotions Of fear and hor-
ror and is popularity described as a
Creeping" Of the flesh.
Impulses which pass out over the
nerves from the brain affect various
muscles In addition to those attached
to the roots of hairs. This fact ac-
counts for the peculiar behavior Of the
heart when one is badly scared, for
the tenseness Of the throat and the
vocal cords and for the trembling OF
the hands, etc. A contraction Of the
muscular tissues controlling the blood
vessels partly closes them and 80 shuts
off the supply Of blood to the skin.
This, Of course, results in paleness
At the same time the numerous
sweat glands In the skin are excited
and pour forth an unusual amount Of
perspiration. This causes the oft
mentioned "cold sweat" In reality 1t
is no more cold than any other sweat,
but II seems 50 because 1t occurs when
the skin Is chilled, due to the con-
striction Of Its arteries and capillaries

dearie," she said, and the words went
to Nancy's heart. OF course Paul
would never come back again, but
wearing 1t would help her to forget
him, forget his fickleness. She had
learned to love the big shy fellow, and
she believed that that last night at
the club dance, when she had worn the
rose satin dress, he would have said
something about his love, but he had
gone soberly away.
So she did not wear the blue dress
but came running down In the rose
colored satin looking like her old self

crown Of her bronze hair to the little
trim ankles and silver shoes Mrs
Wright said Paul was coming" thought
Mrs. Deering, "and perhaps my girl
will be happy after all"
Nancy went away in her Happiness
dress" and mingled with the youth ana
beauty on the clubroom floor. Her
card was nearly full when a big form
blocked off other partners and
familiar voice caused her heart to
throb madly.
"HOw do you do, Nancy2 Have you

should not guess that she had grieved
for him.
"And you have been happy in itT
he asked.
Her eyes flashed him an afflrma-

cheeks and the dark lashes that lay
thlckly against their roundness.
Afterward, when he was leaning
against the wall, watching Nancy
dance with Marty Wright, two girls
began to speak Of the rose dress
Nancy wore.

On three English estates the follow
ing device has proved very efficient Ia
keeping birds away from seeded plots.
A wire Is stretched between two tall
posts or trees and another wire, sus-
pended from 1t, running on a wheel,
so that 1t may easily travel along the
stretched wire. The wings, head and
tail Of hawk are secured and fas-
tened on to a wire body covered with
suitably cOlOred cloth. This Is then
balanced on the end Of the hanging
wire. IF the balancing has been prop
erly done the bird" will travel to and
fro along the outstretched wire when
ever there is any wind. As It moves
the "hawk" about 1t frightens away
other birds who are afraid OF the bird
