Waue of Hnrd Times Forces Skimping
 Through ct White House ct S323, 48O
By WEBSTER K. NOLAN, I. N. S Staff CorrespOnd ent. )

I
 Washington, March 24 - House keepers throughout the land will be pleased to learn. on the theory that misery loves company, that the wave of hard times has forced even the White House to ramble through the year on only s323.4s0.
 All householders find it somewhat difficult these days to make both ends meet. The servant problem is a still pressing one, and, oddly enough, the grocer, the butcher and the baker re- quire to be paid. In many instances servants have been displeased with and economy instituted in more ways than one.
 A great deal, more than the sum allotted is expended in the upkeep Of the White House. most of it coming from the Presidents private purse. These, however, are not official eN- penditures and, though often neces- sary, have to be borne by the Chief Executive. For instance, II. R. 99s1, an act making appropriations for the Executive and for SundTy independent executive bureaus, etc. aliots the President s25.000 for travelling ex- penses and official entertainment eX- penses. to be expended in his discre rion and accounted for on his certifi- cate solely-'' --.-
 Travelling Expenses Deducted.
 Out of this sum, then, must come the expenses of the Presidents tours, such as his contemplated visit to the Pacific Coast and Alaska another to Florida, another to Marion. Ohio, and so on, all being planned for the com ing months Out of this also must be paid the expose of such elaborate en- tertainmentS the Diplomatic. Judi cial, Congressional and Cabinet din- ners and receptions.
 The Presidents salary is S75.00O a year. How much of that remains in tact after the Chief Executive winds up an expensive year is moot. ques- ton. In striking contrast to the Presidents salary, and contained in the same bill, is an item bestowing SIP. 2.000 a year to the Vice Preside ent. For ordinary care. repair and re- furnishing of the Executive Mansion to be expended by contract or other wise, as the President, may deter mine, is allotted the sum of $50,000. Fuel for the mansion and green houses is placed at s12.000. Care and maintenance of the greenhouses will eat up S9,000-a sum in excess by several thousands of the average American rniddle-c1ass income - while repair to the greenh ouses will require S3,0O0. Reconstruction of one greenhouse will be made at the cost of $6,000.

Arabs Dislike
 of New Palestine

London. March 24-Palestine Arabs constitution which the British gov ernment proposed should be adopted by Palestine. They contend it fla vors the Jews too much. A reply which they have made to the draft proposals for a constitution submit ted by Great Britain has been re ceived here.
 It represents the views of a dele gation invested with full powers to deal with the matter on behalf of Mosiem and Christian Societies in Palestine, and the Arab congress.
 The reply points out, it is learn ed from an authoritative source that some of the provisions of the propos- ed constitution 6o not satisfy the na- tional aspirations and needs of the Arabs of Palestine and are based on the idea ot making Palestine a Jew ish national home. This, according to Arab opinion, is in conflict with the rights of a people constituting 93 percent of the population.
 The Arabs desire a form of gov ernment which will give them a greater measure of control of their own affairs.
 The note states that it is fully req hzed that the draft proposals are not the last word of the British govern ment, but are intended to provide basis for discussion and therefore the door is by no means closed for a mutually satisfactory understa nding.

MesopOtamia Oil
 Fields May Soon Open To Americans
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH.

London, March 24-(By I. \. S)- Great Britain is expected soon to give assurances of her willingness for the United States to participate in the exploitation of the gigantic Mesopo- tamian oil fields. it was learned in authoritive circles this afternoon.
 CMesopotamia was formerly a part of the Turkish Empire. Great Bri- tain secured q mandate for the terri tory at the Peace Conference and it was generally understood that the British were really after the great undeveloped oil fields. Later the British transformed the district into kindom with Emir F'eisaI on the throne. It is now known as the Kingdom of Irak.)
 -t is likely that, if Britain sives America an opportunity to share in the rich undeveloped petroleum fields of Mesopotamia the Standard Oil com pany will secure the coveted conces- sions.
 AsC. Beford, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, is in London at the present time comforting with British officials and officers of the Anglo Persian Oil company, the British con cern which controls the Turkish and Persian oil fields.
 Mir. Bedford was scheduled to make an important address before the Brit ish Petroleum Institute tonight. ttlt suddenly cancelled the engaEement He explained that no significance was to be attached to his refusal and that the only reason for it was that ne had not been given enough time.
 Mr. Bedford is seeking q working agreement between his company and the AngIo-Persian Oil company. From London he expects to go to Paris and Genoa

Dine
 At University Club

The theory of buyers that a variety of patterns was necessary in the manufacturing of any product was shattered last night, at the University club when E. G. Mccullough spoke at the monthly meeting of the manufac- turers. MT. Mccullough is the man. ager of the fabricating department of the United States Chamber of Commerce. He said that the manu- facturer made what the customer wanted ana that the manufacturer was convinced that the customer was always right. MT. Mccullough urg- ed the manufacturing of fewer and more standardized articles.
 In this way there would be less capital tied up in raw materials emi- finished stock. finished stock, dies, jigs, special machinery, storage floor space and repairs.
 P. J. Garrity, general manager of the lower Naugatuck Valley Employ CTS association spoke in favor of the Fordney American Valuation plan, George M. Flames, president of the local Manufacturers aSsocia ation, pre- sided at the meeting.

American Marriage Advertising Fools
 Austrian Women

Vienna, March A Vienna girls are being warned not to be misled py marriage advertisements from America. Half dozen alleged cases of deception that are cited by Der Morgan, which. asserts they are but a few out of hundreds in which Aus trian women have gone to America to marry.
 One case described is that of a daughter of a high official who answered. an advertisement in a Vien- ma paper stating that an engineer in Chicago desired to wed a pretty ed- ucated NienneSe. In German the word engineer always means a pro- fessional title and is never applied to mechanics
 When she arrived she found the man was a metal worker. He soon lost his job and the girls parents had to sacrifice even their household goods to send her money to return.
 Another instance is recited in which the advertisement contained the phrase An American tdark) wishes to marry. etc. The prospective groom was a negro.
 Usually says the paper the ad- vertisements describe the man as earning so many million crowns A month which the woman finds to mean virtually nothing in American standards.

Humans Not Only
 Ones To Use Gas
 Declares Curator

People were mortified at the in- troduction of poisonous gas during the war yet we find some of the very lowest types of life have been using it in self-defense for centuries. The sea hare leaves murderous trail Of poisonous fumes behind him when he is attacked and the smoking cater pillar ejectS white gas which en- velopes his body and kills his enemy, said Dr Raymond l.. DltmarS, cura- tor of mammals ad reptnles at the New York Geological park speaking last night at the High school audi torium.
 The subject of Dr. Ditmars wonder fully fascinating lecture which was illustrated with moving pictures was The Depths of the Sea" The audi cnce watched strange pictures of every variety of fish taken under strange circumstances.
 It is onlya recently, according to Dr. Ditmars. that scientists have been able to get photographs of the intI- mate lives of fish. The Italians, who are foremost in this art, have per fec;ed a diving bell through which moving pictures of the larger fish can be taken on the bottom of the sea through glass windows. But the smaller varieties are more easily frightened and in order to get pic lures of them it is necessary to put them into large tanks filled with sea water and photograph them in this way.
 pr. Ditmars showed many pictures taken at the bottom of the sea off New England in which swarms of crabs, cuttlefish. sharks. devilfish and hundreds of other varieties play ed the leading parts.
 The moving picture of a young gorilla at the New York Geological park, showing his human traits in riding a bicycle, skating, smoking. sewing and eating, closed the lecture.
 pr. Ditmars lecture was the last in the High school Alumi series and fle took the place of the late John Kendrick Bangs with whom a con- tract had been arranged to come here.

Pierre, Sept. 25-Grouse and
prairie chickens are not companion

here from farmers and hunters over
the state. Complain has been made
to the state game warden that
grouse are driving the prairie chick

In Beadle and Kingsbury coun-
ties and the whole territory east OF
Huron many of the farmers have
their farms posted and do not al

state now has a marked increase In
the number of grouse, but prairie
chickens have almost disappeared,
farmers declare.
Although the grouse and prairie
chicken are much alike In size, ap-
pearance and habits, and have had
the same advantage as to feeding
the grouse have greatly multiplied
while the prairie chickens have de-
creased, the reports show. Some
farmers declare they have protected
prairie chicken nests by plowin:

SUIT TO OBTAIN
BANK SHORTAGE
STOCKHOLDERS OF DEFUNCT
TRIPP INSTITUTION SUED
FOR $52, 900.

Oil vet, Sept 25-A suit of state
wide interest was filed when John
Hirning, state bank superintendent
through his attorneys, Hitchcock and
Sickle, of Mitchell, started action to
recover $4,000 fro mthe stockhold-
ers of the Trip state bank, which
failed May "a, 1922.
The banks Liabilities were more
than 100000. Depositors have
been paid in full from the state bank
guaranty fund, but under the bank
ing laws of the state, the stockhold-
ers of a bank are liable for the debts
of the bank to the extent of the val
ne of their stock. 1t is under this
law that the state bank commission
er is bringing the action.
The stockholders who are named
in the suit are Waldemar Wenzlaff,
former president of the bank, who

Some of the defendant stockhold-
ers disposed of their stock within a
year previous to the suspension oil
the bank. This, the attorneys for
the banking department say, pre-
sents an interesting legal tangle, as
the court will have to determine
whether these stockholders are IL
able for the debts owed by the bank
at the time of the suspension or only
for those contracted prior to the
time they disposed of their stock.
The case will be tried In Hutch
inson county and is expected to come
up at the October term of circuit
court.
