BY JAMES A. BUCHANAN.

IF you can picture to yourself a
man who had moral courage
enough to spend over S1.Ooo'ooo'-
. 900 of the governments money
without authorization. you have. IN
part, visualized Gen. Herbert NJ Lord'
finance officer of the United states
Army, who, by order of PRESIDENT
Harding. will, upon finishing his
army service, become the director OF
the budget, succeeding Gen. Charles
c. Dawes.
Not only did Gen. Lord expend over
$1,000, 100000 of the government
money without authorization OF law
but he was complimented By the
statesmen on the Hill for having
done so. and several months after he
had drawn checks totaling TINS
enormous sum Congress passed sucn
legislation as rendered his acts lesai.
In discussing the sums totaling over
$1,000. 100000 Gen. Lord not only
preserved the integrity OF the couh-
try, but he also did much to avert a
ranic in the country.
A word or two in explanation:
Shortly after the armistice appro-
priation bills calling for vast sums
for the maintenance of the Army
such as food, clothing. transporta-
ton, supplies and wages had 1allea
of passage in Congress Ciaiihs
against the government-claims thae
were lust and eauitable-could not be
Maid. because of the failure of Con-
cress to appropriate the needed sums.
In addition. there were numerous
wounded and sick soldiers returning
from abroad. There were men IN
pitiful condition all over the country.
Many of these men had lost the pa
pers that were necessary in order 10
have their pay accounts closed. Gen.
Lord ordered that the men be palo
on afidavits. This action was un-
warranted and unheard OF. but Con-
Eress in this instance. as in the other'
lesalized his action.
NUMEROUS claimants had present.
~ ed their properly filled vouchers
to the Army for payment for moneys
due them. They could not be paid,
because there was no appropriation.
Gen. Lord was seated in his office one
day when a young man from Cleve-
land, Ohio, came in and presented
claim for $2NOo0. The chief OF
finance knew that the man had, upon
the request of the government
given up a profitable business to en-
gage in producing materials for the
War Department.: he knew that the
man, unless this account was paid,
and paid at once, faced bankruptcy;
SO Gen. Lord sat down and wrote
check for 100000. Having broken
the ice in this instance. he deter
mined that all those who had just
claims against the government were

Termite Fireworks.

AT least two Brazilian travellers
IA have described an extraordinary
phenomenon connected with the nests
of white ants, or termites. DR.. da Fon-
SEGA, who saw the exhibition on the
headwaters of the Rio Verde, gives
the appearance as that of tiny stars,
affording the nest. the look of a min
iature tower brilliantly illuminated
When the nest was struck with a
stick the lights went out. only to re-
appear little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle of the last
century. beheld a similar spectacle
near the city of Goyaz. He says that
the lights were produced by an ing
mense number of small phosphores-
cent larvae. which withdrew into the
galleries of the mound when an at
tempt was made to capture them.
Branner of Stanford University re-
marks that this exhibition is prob
ably confined to some particular spe-
cies, or to some special occasions or
conditions of termite life, since he has
lived and Travelled for years in Bra
gil without. seeing it

medal for conspicuous and meritori-
Gus service during the world war
Like the man he succeeds, Gen.
Lord is a musician of note-a vocal
list, not an instrumentalist and COM
poser-possessing tenor voice which,
critics say. would have gained for
him renown either on the stage
or the concert platform. While at
school he taught music. He was
principal of the high school at South
Thomaston, Me-. for several terms
ized in Greek, Latin and English.

DROBABLY no man in the United
= States Army has appeared before
Congress upon as many occasions, and
the members of the different commit
tees in both the Senate and House of
Representatives have great respect
for Gen. Lords ability. And while at
college he never specialized in eco
Monies. he, early in his career, gave
evidence of possessing keen ana
lytical mind. a mind that possesses
the ability to grasp details and to
work out problems that appear to be
difficult of solution. He enjoys the
respect and confidence of the men
who appropriate money for the ma
TONS needs. Physically, he is "as
hard as nails" making it a practice
to walk about three to five miles
every morning. no matter what the
weather conditions may be. He is
also a base ball fan of the first water
and was in his younger days to his
college what Babe Ruth is to the
American League today. He takes
great interest not only in big league
base ball. but is also booster for
the Departmental League in the Dis
trict. He is a hard worker and will,
according to President Harding. Gen
Dawes and the statesmen on Capitol
Hill, make an ideal director of the
| budget.

of it's wearer, why may not the uni
form of a hero grow a kinship to that
kero's soul?
It is a great show, and as you linger
among the almost living reminders of
q past that can never die. something
makes you understand why it is that
everyday youth will give up his good
times, his girls and his neckties to
rush onward-and upward-alons any
red trail where valor leads the way.
Most of US are like that, but: There
are always others. One of them. a
primrose woman who was paying trib-
ute to a case OF uniforms that be-
spoke laurels of victorious defeat in
every fold Of old Confederate gray:

woman, who doubtless will go to
heaven when she dies, but, all the
same, there was in her voice, her
words and her expression the sniff
ness of one who feels within herself
that every old flag and uniform In
that museum ought to go into the
wash.
She was wrong, so far as the collec-
tion goes, but-one must admit that,
there is a deal of history that would
be all the better for Tubing.

A CAVALIER strayed out of a CO.
lon!al novel into a street car. 1t
was crowded and he had to stand, his
tall and withered slenderness towering
Saullike above the crowd.
At one corner a woman-not girl
entered. and, with the accustomed habit
Of having to stand at that hurry hour Of
the morning, reached up to a strap,
quite as a matter Of course.
The cavalier considered the seated
men around; touched fat youngster
with his cane and, with the authority
of one who owned the car system, told
him to get up. The young fellow, plainly
ratified. obeyed orders. whereupon the
cavalier with most deferential courtesy,
offered the vacated seat to the lady.
who, like the boy. seemed afraid not to
obey him. Also, she smiled her thanks
at the ousted one, who was game
enough to smile back. She even pam
tomimed her desire to return the place
if he wanted it. and he shook his head,
az If he wouldn't have her do it for
worlds. And all the while. the cavalier,
having returned to his sentinellike
pose, stood tall and sentinel like, his
eyes closed and his taoughts-who can
tell where?
A MOTHER incident in another car:
L 1t was a 7th street car that had
halted at the junction to give an Ave-
nue. car the right Of way. A very old
lady, who should not have been alone,
was being helped out by the motorman.
and as she touched the street her wav-
ering step was so uncertain that he got
out, left his post and escorted her over
to the platform, as gently as II he had
been her son. Then he sprinted back
lust as the track was clear.
Which seems to show that it isn't alb
solutely necessary to stray out Of a
colonial novel to be q cavalier.

you are acquainted with Blue
" boards key. This Is about a
lady whose friends twit her
with the possession of another
key-the one with which she tries to
wind up the universe. She has just
returned from trip north with a
relative who has broadcasted the fol-
lowing incident-as caught up and
passed on by one of the aforesaid
friends:
At one station a rather decrepit
old gentleman boarded the train.
chaperoned by a relative. who seated
him in a chair. Following came a
fne-looking man, who placed two
smart travelling bags in q chair next,
and then left the car. The relative
admonished the old gentleman to be
sure to listen and to get on when
his station was called.
The Winder-Cp of the Universe re-
solved to attend to the matter, as
directed. If we cannot help others.
why are we here?
After much delay, due to belated
snowstorm. the train halted. The
stormy dusk enveloped the country
side and from somewhere voice an
nounced a station. The Winder-Up
ihmped to the occasion. hustled the
old gentleman into the outer dark
ness. hurled the two smart bags after,
and, as the train moved on. seated
herself with the happy consciousness
of a kind act competently rendered.
A bit later the car came to another
halt, this time with the lights of a
wayside station flashing from the
darkness to show a circle of anx-
iousIy expectant faces. In dashed
the conductor. to call out with look
Of blank CONSERVATION:
where is the old gentleman who
occupied this chair?"
winder-Up graciously explained
that she had put him of at his sta
tiou, It was a small kindness. and
she was glad to be Of service. The
conductor exploded verbal IRE and
birthstone:
Let me inform you. ma'am, that
was open country where we halted
for the signal that the railroad
bridge was clear for US to cross!"
"And where are my two bags?" de-
manded the fne-looking man in the
wake Of the conductor. II put them
in my chair here before I went into
the smoker"
Were those your bags?"-the
winder-Up Rasped it out meekly. Il
thought they belonged to the old
rentIeman-and-I threw them out"
There IL doubtless more to the story,
but the friend who was passing it on
may have considered that too much
detail nattens the climax. and any
how:
Enough IS always enough.
ITO the dullard who sees nothing
extra in a primrose by the rivers

at the museum means nothing more
than So many musty old buds. 1t

faded uniform a chart that bears wit
ness to the personality of a once
owner. whose name Is immortal and
whose bones are dust. And why not?
