mo MORE HELP NEEDED
NOW AT MUSCLE SHOALS
Civil Service Commission
Warns Against Advertising
for Help There.

Washington, March 30.-~-Iargc num-
bers of persons have been made victims
of fraudulent advertising for labor In
connection with the Muscle Shoais
project near Florence, Ala, it is said in q
statement issued by tho United States
Civil Service Commission.
II is stated by the commission that
there has been brought to its attention
recent advertising throughout the coun-
try in which persons out of work have
been promised positions mt the Muscle
Shoals project, conditioned upon their
paying n registration fee of 81 each.
1t il said that large numbers of uncm-
ployed men have responded, paying the
required registration fee and receiving
nothing i'll return. II is understood
that the matter is to be presented To the
Department of Justice for investigation
and possible prosecution.
The Civil Service Com mission stntes
that further operations AT Muscle Shoals
depend upon action of Congress. and that
no one can say Mt this time whether the
government will resume tho work, oi
whether it viii he conducted under PR.
vate ownership or contract. In any
event, the commission said, there is nc
justification for advertising for labor "a
he employed ut the project. If the gov
vernment undertakes TO complete tho
work, such labor MS may he necessary
will be secured in the usual way through
government agencies, II is said. further
more, that it is certain that no private
person or company is taking steps 60
secure labor Tor Muscle Shoals in the
present uncertainty.
The Civil Service Commission warns
the public against the paying oi money
in the hope OF securing employment
ut Muscle Shoals.

HOW MARY CUT THE CAKE.


AAVusy OU8Bc0tCO y hhtCHct.
Princess Mary borrowed Viscount
Lasccllc's sword to cut tho huge we'd
ding cake which was served at her we'd
ding breakfast, says London dispatch
to the New York Times. When
the par, Y had assembled in tho dining
room OF Buckingham Palace. King
George invited the Princes. to lead the
attack on the formidable 500-pound con-
lection.
Viscount Lascclles acted AS her escort
and, as they approached the huge cake,
he handed her his sword. Prince Henry,
who WAS close behind his sister, offered
to get a Ratchet, but Princess Mary
laughingly declined.
The Duke of York evoked laugh by
suggesting that Lewis (machine) gun
might settle the thing more expeditions
ly than either sword or Ratchet.
The Daily News correspondent, who
thus describes the fun Mt the wedding
breakfast, failed TO state what success
the princess had with the sword. lie
says that when the Queen Mother Alex
andria arrived at Buckingham Palace
after the wedding ceremony Princess
Mary made an impctuous dash at hel
and the two embraced aifectionatcly.
The Duke of York remarked tina,
Queen Alexandria was the first to kiss
the bride, but Queen Mary smilingly re-
futed it, saying that she had kissed the
princess when the register was beins
signed in the Chapel of Edward tho
Confessor.
well, anyhow" the Duke of York II
quoted as saying, 81 am going to be the
first bachelor to kiss her, and he did
it so emphatically rs to cause n laugh
at his expense.
King George suggested that the Duke
might like TO kiss oil the bridesmaid
also. nut at this point the dukes nerve
evidently failed him.

REFUSED TO HURT BABIES
Horses Where Little Children
Were Concerned.

Are horses peculiarly gentle with
babies? 1t seems fair question. Ger
tainly the horses in this account,
which a contributor sends US. were
almost humanity solicitOus of the well
fare Of the two young children who
came into contact with them.
Our neighbOr, says our contributor,
had a field one corner Of which came
I'D to his dOOryard. one day while he
was blowing he stopped when he
reached the corner and, leaving the
horses standing in the furrOw, went
to the pump for drink. AS soon as
he returned he took up the pillow
handles and spoke to the horses. They
did not move. He spoke again, sharply.
Still they did not move. AstOnished
and vexed, he struck them with the
whip. Still they stood immovable;
and then he realized that something
must be wrong. He went to their
heads. and there in the furrow in front
of them he saw his tOddling baby boy

perience a good deal more astonishing
than that of the baby boys. The little
girl managed to stray away from In
front of the house where she had been
playing. There was a long search In
which the police and the fire depart
ment joined; but II was unsuccessful.
Finally, in a livery stable two miles
away some men who were working
there thought they heard little COO
ing voice They were Mortified, for IL
seemed to come from the stall OF an
exceedingly vicious horse that even
the grooms approached cautiously and
with dread. The men looked into
the stall and saw the baby patting the
horses hind leg and calling him nice
hOrsie," while he, with his head
turned, watched her benignantly, not
moving a muscle lest he should hurt

Albania's Sacred Mountain.

In the very center Of Albania towers
q great mountain, reaching a height of
more than two thousand feet and COW
cred with snow for the greater part of
the year, which the Albanlans call
TOmor.
A belief widely spread among the
Albanians has it that Tomor holds In
Its TANKS the tomb Of Jupiter-al-
though no one can quite establish the
exact place Of the tomb-and at GER
tain times Of the year Jupiter BRAN
dishes his thunderbolts and makes the
mountain resound with his impreca-

The oath, "Per Baba Tomor" (by
Father Tomor), Is customary among
Christians and Mussulmans alike; and
Bahia TOmOr, the holy mountain of the
Albanians, Is as much honored In their
country as was Olympus, dwelling
place of the king Of the gods, among
the ancient Greeks.

Pretty much the same thing
may be said of France OF Mary
land. Mr.. France was not only
found in opposition TO the League
of Nations. but he was equally
opposed to the four-power treaty,
and was the only Senator'S to cast
a vote against the naval limitation
amendment.
Mr.. France had one construc-
tive or destructive idea. according
to the point OF view-he is hearth
" in favor of the recognition of
Soviet Russia. The Maryland
Senator has studied the Russian
question at close range, and many
were shocked when he landed back
in this country with 4 proposal
that the Washington government
warm up to Lenine and Trotsky.

entity think none the less Of Mr..

EAST AND WEST

e One gets the impression that the
East and West wings OF our glo-
rious Republic are not Tapping
together very we'll. We are one
and inseparable, and all that sort
of thing, Of course, but the reaS-
OnS therefor are not always OBJ
EiOuS.
Some time ago William Allen
White undertook to make the
country understand why Kansas
went dry, and had remained THAI
way. The thing is SO inherently
a part of Kansas, Mr.. White, la
mented. that it is not comprehend
ed at all by 4 less regenerate East,
One is reminded of this by what
has just happened in Maryland,
where the wet sentiment apparent
~ prcdoninates, as seen in the vote
for Senator France, in the Repub-
lican primary.
And it is that way all along the
line. The thoughts OF the West
and the East do not run in the
same channel. Senator Hale, Of
Maine, together with four mem
bers of Congress, have Just been
reelected. AS goes Maine, is
a saying that does not signify
much on this occasion. There was
a reduction OF the Republican vote
as compared with 1920, of course,
but the majority OF the majority
party appears to have been some
thing like normal And this Maine
delegation has not inirequently
been referred to as reactionary, II
not Tory, IN character. ne ITO
gresSive sentiment rs revealed in
Iowa. Indiana and Wisconsin, cam
rot be discerncd at all with the
naked eve on the Eastern seaboard.
The Maine delegation is for what
ever seems regular and orthodox
in the Harding household, and this
seems to suit Maine all the way to
the seed potato hills. Mr.. Hale
will return to the Senate with no
mandate at all save to vote regu-
lar, to be regular, and TO think
regular,
Not much thought or originality
up Maine way, we should say.
Democrats VII, scarcely regard 1t
as . iallow field iof campaign op-
erationS.
