Family Skeleton.

A little girl, whose father is widely
known as n writer of humorous stories,
was recently approached by a visitor,
who said:
1T must be nice to have a papa who
knows so many fine stories"
The little girl blushed and hung her
head.

the visitor asked.
Yes" the little girl answered, but

Margaret, age three and One-iiait
years and n confirmed carly riser, had
repeatedly been warned to keep very
quiet when getting up in the morning,

MOTHER QUICK! GIVE
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
FOR CHILD'S BOWELS

Even a sick child loves the "fruity"
taste of california Fig Syrup" If the
little tongue is coated. or If your child
is l~istless, cross, feverish, full of cold,
or has collie, a te%aspoonful will never
fail to open the bowels. In a few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly it works all the constipa-
ton poison, sour bile and waste from
the tender, little bowels and gives you
a well, playful child again.
Millions Of mothers keep california
Fig Syrup handy. They know n tea

morrow. Ask your druggist for genuine
California Fig Syrup" which has d.
rections for babies and children of all
ages printed on bottle. Mother! You

The marriage of a daughter of Heze-
kiah To a king of Ireland is alleged by

there are said to be proofs lying in

the bill Introduced by Senator Ken
yon by which the President would be
authorized to postpone federal con
structlon and improvements in pros
porous times when jobs are plentiful
and then order the work carried on at
full speed when business stagnatlon
appears.
Senator New OF Indiana based his
opposition to the measure on the

curing periods OF plenty and famine
In Egypt. He did not think congress

BY EDWARD w. PIckARp

NEARLY everyone is In favor Of
~ giving the ex-service man a
bonus, but no one is willing to help
pay for it. Every plan so far pro-
posed for raising the necessary rev.
enue-estimated at $350,OO0,OO0 annu-
ally for the next three years-has
aroused determined opposition. Mem
bers Of the house ways and means
committee thought eight special taxes
would turn the trick, but every element
Of the population that would be d.
rectly affected by them raised al i'm
mediate wall.
Republican leaders appealed to Pres
ident Harding to suggest something
feasible, and he undertook to do so on
Thursday. But what should his plan
be but the same old general sales tax
proposition which 1t has been admitted
by nearly everyone cannot possibly get
through congressl Because this was
his only plan, and because he also
criticized he plan Of providing for the
payments of cash bonuses in INSTALL
ments over a period of two and a half
years, II was assumed by many In
Washington hat the President really
wished the bonus legislation again
postponed, though he hesltated to say
so fatty. The situation was plainly
uncomfortable for the Republicans,
and the Democrats were joyously TAX
ing every advantage Of the discount
ture of their ~adversaries. The leaders
Of the agricultural bloc In both the
house and the senate reiterated their
unqualified opposition to any kind Of
u general sales tax.
Some OF the Republican leaders
strongly favored the passage of n
house bill without any plan of financing.
They thought the necessary money
might be made available by further re-
duction of appropriations for certain
departments, especially the army and
navy. Mr.. Mondell prepared n state
ment TO show how nearly $500 ,000.-
600 could be saved this way. But
even that would not be sufficient. and
many congressman urged again the Is
suance of bonds. or course the def
cit. after the problematical saving Of
$300,OOO,000 In appropriations, could
be made up by Issuing short term GER
tifcates of Indebtedness. which II was
asserted the market would readily alb
sorb. Both the President and Secre-
tary Mellon declare tllot n big bond
issue would seriously embarass the
extensive r%efunding operations that
must be undertaken during the coming
year, causing an Increase In Interest

IRON Paris comes the prediction
L that the conference ON the
economic rehabilitation of Europe will
be postponed until May. and shifted
probably from Genon to Rome, Milan
or Verona. The reasons advanced are
the delay In forming a new Italian
government, the lnsistence of France
on a preliminary meeting TO decide
on the ngenda. and the alleged fact
that the United States will not de
termine the extent Of its participation
until the senate has acted on the Wash
ington conference treaties.
