London. Jan. 16-The English po-
litical situation. especially the ques-
ton as 10 when the government IS
going TO call general election, has
again been brought into prominence
through the return from France OF
Prime Minister Lloyd George and the
removal from the foreground of the
irish situation.
There was fairly general opinion
among the political writer's IN this
mornings newspapers that the cleo
ton, which recently was foreshadowed
for February. would not occur then,
and probably would not be Held before
May at the earliest.
Among the reasons supposed to have
brought about this decision are the
strong opposition of the Unionists TO
such a step. and the collapse OF the
Cannes conference. from which Mr..
Lloyd George brings nothing 70 offer
the electorate except the decision TO
call an international economic con-
ference at Genoa. The position of
Ireland is Also regarded as placing a
great obstacle in the way OF an early
appeal to the country.

E'SLICK" DRY AGENT FOXES BARTENDERS
 WITH CLEVER RUSE

HARRISBURG, w. Va, Nov. 20.- The interesting information was brought out at a hearing before George Harry Gordon, Federal Court Commissioner, in which Samuel Slovensky, Baltimore Street mer- chant, was charged with selling moonshine whiskey, that prohibition agents, like magicians, are working hereabouts with whole bag of tricks A prohibition agent, Aremen- ian by birth and having a name that looks like scrambled alpha Let, wAa ,aad- bean sent hera fsop Washington, told how he had trapped more than dozen victims in Clarksburg by the use of a little brown ball. He explained that he would go into place suspected of being a "blind tiger," purchase a couple of drinks, put them into his mouth as though gulping them down, place a handkerchief over his mouth as though wiping it and suck the evidence" from his mouth into the little brown ball which is made of rubber. The agent gave a demonstration of his dexterity and amazed the Commissioner, lawyers and witnesses. None could detect this filching of the evidence until he disclosed the little ball in the handkerchief. After supposedly drinking the evidence" he could
 smoke a cigarette with such ease as to baffle all beholders.

 Multnomah played Gonzaga Uni versity of Spokane here last month and during the first quarter Steers stood behind his own goal line and booted the Dall to Gonzaga's ten yard line. The ball actually sailed 90 yards through the air, but count ing the distance from the club line scrimmage, it made 80 yards net. It wasn't bouncing punt but a spiritual that scared so high that the Multnomah ends actually were down with it as soon as the Gonzaga safe ty man and he didn't make a yard.
 During the same game Steers again sent the ball flying 80 yards on another kick but it went out of bounds and netted him only fifty yards. Some college kickers are glad to make 50 yards in straighta- way booting.
 Other historic kicks made by Steers in the Gonzaga game were for 60 yards each. In every exchange of punts he gained from fifteen to thirty yards.

A Collection and Study of
Picturesque Rhymes

NEGRO FOLK RHYMES I9y Thomas "
Talley. Published by the Macmillan
Company. ss.25
TNHERE can be no doubt that our
n richest heritage of folksong
comes from tho Negro Out Of tho
long years Of slavery on Southern
plantations there has developed
crude literature of popular verse,
formless from the academic stand
point, but imbued with very genuine
humor and pathos. This literature is
presented adequately for the first
time in this book.
Professor Tallcy combines sympathy
with the suffcrings of his race snd
knowledge of Negro life with an excel
lent technical musical equipment Con
sequently. he is able at once TO throw
a good deal Of light on the origins Of
the songs and to show how they we're
sung. Under his Interpretation, the
rhythmic sense Of the unframed
Negro appears truly remarkable. This
quality is especially marked in the
religious songs, w'nerc the surge Of
the measured beats is quite evident,
even through the confinement Of print.
Many Of the rhymes are mere scraps,
bits Of song exchanged by laborcrs in
the fields.
