HARDING FOLLOWS

In COSTA RECAN-
PANAMAN QUESTION

Washington, March 21.-The de-
"ision OF Chief Justice White in the
Panama Costa Rica boundary dis
pute must be the uualterable posi-
ton" Of the United States government
President Harding declared Saturday
to personal appeal from president
Porras Of Panama.
Although he expressed -egrGt that
Panama should feel wcun5cd by the
White decision, described in Senior Por-
ras' message Us painful and humiliat-
ing," Mr.. Harding declined 10 con-
s,der any other basis OF settlement
end asserted that the recent state de-
partment notes insisting upon the en-
forcing Of the decision hai his hearty
approval.
The exchange between the two exc
cutives, made public teXtually at Uhe
W hite House, was III the nature of an
interim discussion while the state
department awaited Panama's reply to
its note. Costa Rica already has ac-
cepted the White award, and some
definite answer from Panama now is
expected within a few days.
IN making his appeal President
Porras recalled the expressions Of
friendship for Panama, given by Mr.
Harding last November during his
visit there as president-elect, and
voiced hope that the Panama people
might not be disappointed in their
faith in the new administration at
Washington. To this Harding replied
renewing his avowals of cordiality,
but added that the exercise of friend
ly relations always must be temper
ed with justice.
The message from the Panaman
day and before replying Mr.. Harding
held a long conference today with Sec
retary Hughes OF the state depart
ment. 1t is understood that they not
only went over in detail the latest
information regarding the situation
between the two central American
republics, but also discussed the broad
questions Of policy involved in final
determined insistence on the position
taken by this government.
Following is President Harding's re-
ply:

MAN-SIZE PRESCRIPTION

According to teleg1aphic news stor-
les, the "drys" OF the United States
fear the result of the Palmer ruling,
made just before that gentleman went
out Of office as the attorney general
Of the nation.
The ruling referred to, the particu-
lar ruling, the ruling which may be
the wedge to enter an opening crack
in the Volstead act, is the one in
which the then attorney general said
that beer, as q medicine, should have
the same standing as that given
whiskey, and that, therefore, it could
be manufactured for medicinal pur-
poses, and dispensed ON physicians
prescriptions.
lnasmuch as the ruling did not
number the quantity of bottles which
doctor might prescribe, the fear
is expressed that many-all too many
doctors will return to the practices
followed in the good old days when
the cities in the wet states started GU
to enforce the Sunday law. They
claim that in those days il was 9
common practice for doctors to pre-
scribe a whole case Of beer for one
man, while the majority Of sick
persons were known to consume a.
high as three bottles OF beer pei
Sunday.
AS We remember things, as they
happened anu eventuated IN the days
spoken Of, the man whose stomachic
capacity, OF a Sunday, was limited
to three bottles was an invalid, so far
gone, so completely on his last legs
that he could not stand man-si2c

ATTORNEY GENERALS
RULING WOULD LET

BEER BY THE CASE

Washington, Mardl 2l.-The sign

dry leaders IN congress with respect

Several members, including sons

stead law, and who believe now thai,
il ought 10 be tightened up, declared
today that former Attorney General
Palmer rightly construed the act in
holding that beer. like liuuor. could
be prescribed for a sick man. But they
aided that they were awaiting witll
deep concern publication OF prohibi-
tion department regulations prescribing
the manner and amount OF beer dis
pensauon.
While the Volstead act limits the
amount of whisky that may be pre-,
scribed there is no provision dealing
with Leer.. Prohibition leaders think
1t may be necessary to fix that by
statute.
Predictions are made by several pro-
Ilibition members that the future pol
icy Of congress will depend upon de-
partment regulations and a beer try
out. They see no likelihood of any
carly change in the law by which a
physician may prescribe not more
than pint Of whisky in any ten
day perior.
Going back to pre-prohibition days,
dry leaders recalled that the sick
mans beer supply was rather liberal
certainly as compared with modern
possibilities. 1t used to be- prescribed

often was regarded by physicians rec

For THE BIRDS COMFORT

When building bird house, bear
in mind these suggestions which
were made to the contestants in a
bird house contest held by Kansas
City, Mo-, schools several years
ago:
Wood is better material 10 use
than earthcnware or metal.
An outside perch is not necessary
and not to be advised.
AS birds dislike paint, an un-
painted house is best.
The entrance OF the house should
face away from the direction of
the worst storms.
A small drainage hole in the floor
of the house under the nest is ad-
visable. Ventilation holes may be
put in the sides of the house under
the caves.
Set the heads OF nails and screws
deeply into the woods and cover them
with putty.
Robins ike TO live in large trees
Wrens, Catbirds and Thrashers
prefer thick shrubbery.
By writing to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
bulletins telling how to build bird
houses may be secured free OF
charge.

OUR OLD BIRD PALS
APPRECIATE GOOD
SHELTER LIKE THIS
IHandicraft for Boysl ]

Today, the first OF Spring, seems
a good time to think about our old
pals, the birds, doesn't it?
1t was last summer that the
writer, feeling he'd like to do the
birds a good turn for all the cheer
ful music they'd make at his bed
room window those balmy summer
mornings, decided to make little
shelter for them.
At lumber yard he purchased a
long post much like clothespole.
1t was square-though round one
would have served the purpose
and in each side he bored two holes
One hole was about 212 inches from
the end OF the pole and the other
was about the same distance under
the first. Into each hole-there
were eight OF them-he drove
a round peg about FIVE inches long.
He was careful to see that they set
in firmly and would not drop out,
for they were to be the perches for
the birds.
At the same lumber yard he had
picked up a piece OF pine about
twelve or fourteen inches square.
He planed it smoothly and mounted
it on the end of the post having
the pegs in it. The board set
squarely III the middle of course,
and was fastened with nails.
A coat OF dark green paint all
over the pole and roof, with the ex-
ception OF the perches which were
left plain, finished the shelter. 1t
was set in the ground, and it
wasn't long before the birds found
and made good use OF it.
But c neighbor's cat undertook to
climb up the post and attack the
roosting birds. So hall dozen TIN
cans were hammered out fat and
nailed around the post covering
an area OF about two feet directly
under the perches. The cat didn't
do any more molesting-his claws
wouldn't stick into tin.
And the writer is sure the birds
appreciated his effort to make them
comfortable during the hot or rainy
days of the summer, when the shell
ter warded off the elements, and
they would appreciate your !ettorts,
too.

wherefores about the moving PIC
