DINNER STORIES

Two six-year-old boys were passing bills one day in Fairmount., They stopped, out of breath and tired, at the home of a relative for a. brief rest.
 Why should you go so fast ?" ask ed the relative. You have plenty of time and it's too hot weather to hurry so.'
 "Oh." was the answer, we've just got to hurry to keep up with each otfler.'' 'History,'' said Lady Astor, "is more romantic to read than to make" It Is doubtful. At Chateau-Thierry there was a private driving an ammunition wagon.
 'I used to teach history at the Uni- versity of Kansas he said 'fbut l never can do it again, now that I've | helped make some" An engineering company, which was l laying a. railroad in Alaska, had occa- sion to employ a number of foreigners on grade work. In some cases, these men, through the scarcity of more competent workers, became sub-fore- men, who were instructed to take charge of their particular part of the | job on case of the death or illness of their immediate superiors. It was from one of these that the company received the following telegram: Boss dead. What to do?" eff you are sure he is dead, bury him. Will send another boss,'' wired back the company.

After devoting three years in the ninors-which time he spent with Kansas City, Kankakee, Maysvi11e and Aurora-Stenge1 broke into the jors in 1912 with the Dodgers via the draft route. The Dodgers released him to Toronto and that club let him go to Montgome The Dodgers recalled him the next season. however, and he became regular outhelder. He played good ball but because of his propensity to act the clown and his general easy going way no one con- sfdered him very seriously. When the Dodgers wanted Ward, Grimes and Mamaux from the Pirates in 1918 they offered Stengel with Cutshaw for the trio and the deal went through.
 This discourage StengeI and he failed to get going. To make mat ters worse the Pirates traded him to Philadelphia. He kicked at that, quit the team and went home to Kansas City. The lure of the game got him though and he finally returned to the Phfls.- Last June the Giants got him in trade.
 He was booked for 8 utility role this year until an injury to Ralph Skinners and the failure of Bill Cum 1ingham to made the grade caused McGraw to send Stenge1 into center regularly.
 Stengel is delivering with a bang. More power to him.

SENATE CLASH ON RATE

will be urged to stay on the job.
 The split among the Democrats over graphite was made the subject of jest by several speakers on the Republican side today and brought a statement from Senator Borah, of Idaho, that there wasn't such a wide difference between the two parties on the tariff question, the Democrats favoring pro- tection for products, of their states. This was disputed by Senator Stanley, Democrat, Kentucky, who declared he never would vote to use the taxing power of the government to subsidize industry Senator Gooding of Idaho. chairman of the Republican agricultur- al tariff bloc, expressed the hope that the division of the minority presaged the day when the two parties would come together on the question with protection to all industry.
 Senator Nicholson, Republican, Colo rado, opened the fight for higher du- ties than those proposed by the con- mittee on graphite.
 Exhibiting pound cans of graphite, such as is sold to automobile users, Senator Nicholson told the Senate these retailed from 75 cents to S1.50 each while the cost of the raw material to the manufacturer was from tfo to five cents pounr.
 If the federal trade commission were attending to it's business, this i'm position on the American consumers would not be possible" the Colorado Senator declared.
 Senator Nicholson, and Senator lief lin, of Indiana, insisted that higher duty was necessary to enable Ameri- can graphite mines to operate in com petition with those in Mexico, CeylOp land Madagascar, with their peon la bor."

 products.
 Senator Heflin, in whose state, flake graphite is produced, said this was a
 war industry in it's infant stage ana
 deserved some measure of protection.
 He added that Senator Frelinghuysen ? had been willing to put a tax on salt

 ARE REVOKED
Coburn Returns from Atlanta as King Kleagle in Charge
 of Californian .klans

ATLANTA, May 24.-The Ku Klux Klan has revoked the commissions of every kleagle in California from the king kleagle down after preliminary in quiry into alleged lawlessness in that state, and has appointed William s. Coburn as king kleagle in charge of the klan's interests in California, it was announced tonight by E. Y. Clarke imperial klaliff. or supreme vice pres ident of the order.
 We do not intend to reinstae any kleagle in California whom we fine has taught the doctrine of lawlessness or encouraged any klan or klansman to believe that this organization would encourage any activities in conflict with or outside of the constituted law.
 Mir. Clarke added:
 We do not know that this has been done, but it seems certain that an i'm pression prevails in the public mind in California this organization stands for lawlessness"
 He asserted that the klan would defend any klansman guilty of lawless- ness"
 Mir. Clarke said the stand was de termined on by action by the imperial kloncilium, or governing body and that he made the announcement as head of ficial in the absence of W. J. Simmons, imperial wizard who is on vacation.
 Mir. Coburn, who was grand goblin in California until that office in all sections was abolished, left here yes terday for Los Angeles, MT Clarke said.

REDUCE FREIGHT RATES

 level as substantial as the condition of the carriers will permit, will tend to stabilize the conditions under whlcn commerce industry are carried on, with consequent fuller assurance to carriers of realizing a fair return"
 On the statement of the commission that rail freight revenues in 1921 ap- proximated S4,000,00,000, today's deci- sion will reduce the national freight bill by $400,000,000 per year.
 The commission, after reviewing the argument for and against rate reduc- ltions as made before it by shippers, railroads and representatives of geo graphical areas of the country, de clared that rates had been pushed up by horizontal percentages increases, a similar process should be followed in bringing them down, to meet lowered expenses of operation" {y N
 This co-incided with. the arguments which President Harding advanced be fore railroad executives at a dinner conference last week, in favor of rate reductions affecting sharply, basis commodities which generally take class rates.
 Practically all agreed shat stability of freight rates is highly desirable, . the majority opinion deelared, and that normal traffic may not well be expected until the present widespread ! expectations of rate reductions is re alized or dispelled. To assume that rates can or should be stabilized on the present high basis is futile"

BONUS LEGISLATION
CContinued from Page oDel

Continued from Page Ope) While the reclamation measure is gen eral legislation, it proposes preference rights for soldiers in retaining and settling arid lands. It would provide revolving fund of $350,000,000 for reclamation, the idea being to keep the fund active until all arid lands have been reclaimed.
 Ae demand for passage of the pend ing reclamation bill-known as the Smith-McNary measure-was made in the senate tonight by Senator Ashurst Democrat, Arizona, who said he was speaking not only for himself, but for other members including Republicans. He served notice that we will not all low this congress to adjourn before the bill is made law"
 Republicans and Democrats of the west alike, have perceived the enor- nous importance of reclamation legis. lation, Senator Ashurst said, calling attention to resolution just adopted by Republican newspaper editors in Washington state, which said that failure to pass the Smith-McNary bill would be an inexcusable failure of the administration"
 For soldiers ever to obtain the homes, he added, the bill would have to be passed and it's failure to pass would provoke "a flow of fury from the west"
