"As long as Germany shows any

THAT IS exactly the reason why
France is so anxious to have some
decisive step taken in regard to the

shows herself unwilling or unable
TO meet the obligations that she has
incurred by the World War, France
feels that she will be justified in

MAN SLAIN AND WIFE SHOT
Aurora, Ill, Resident Killed by Bullet
Fired Across River by
Fishermen

Aurora, ILL.,, May 23.-The Aurora
police and Sheriff Martin Hestell of
Kane county are without a clue as to
the fatal shooting of Eugene hummer
and serious wounding of his wife In
Fix River park, near Aurora. Hum
mer, who was thirty-eight years old.
and public accountant, lived In Au-
rora. With his wife anG eleven-year-
old daughter he went to the park. Fol-
lowing their lunch the husband and
wife were sitting on bench while
the daughter played near by Sudden
ly a shot was fired from across the
river and Mrs. Hummer fell. Hum
mer jumped to his feet A second
shot struck him in the breast. He
died on the way to the Aurora hos
pital
The police believe the shots were
fred by fishermen across the liver, and
that the killing of Hummer was ac-
cidental.

WHY CALLED "OLD DOMINION"
Two Explanations Have Been Given
for Nickname Bestowed on the
State of Virginia.

There are two explanations as to
how the state of Virginia came to be
called "Old Dominion" The one CIV
en- in the following account is gener-
ally regarded as the most plausible:
"In Capt. John Smiths History of
Virginia. edition of 1929. there is a
map of the settlements of Virginia,
which at that time included New Eng
land, as well as every other part of
the British settlements in America.
He there calls our present Virginia
'Ould Virginia'-the word old being
so spelled at. that time-in contradis-
tinction to the New England colony,
which is called New Virginia Here,
then, we have the word 'ould,' the dis
tinctive word of the title. Now, we
know that, from the settlement of the
colony to the Revolution, every act
of parliament, every letter of the king
to the governor, designated Virginia
IS the colony and dominion Of Vir-
ginia. Here is found the other word,
and the change in common talk from
Ould Virginia to odd Dominion was
easy, imperceptible and almost inevi-
table,"
The other explanation is that the
title "Old Dominion" was bestowed
upon Virginia by Charles II, because
the colony had refused to recognize
the government of Cromwell, and, af-
ter the execution of Charles / had
transferred it's allegiance to his son.
In gratitude for this loyalty, Charles
II caused the arms of Virginia to be
quartered with those of England, Scot
land and Ireland, as distinctive por-
ton of the Old Dominion and an in
dependent member of the United King
dom.

USE ONLY MORAL sUAsIoN
Daugherty Says Government Has No
Legal Right to NEEDLE in
Coal Affairs.

Washington, May 20. - President
Harding and the cabinet at their meet
ing decided to use moral suasion on
the coal industry to prevent profiteer-
ing during the strike.
Attorney General Daugherty adj
yised the President that the govern
ment had no legal means Of prevent
ing price raising. 1t was learned at
the White House later that the adj
nfnistration would use every other
means within its power to keep prices
down.
The President takes the position
that there is as yet no crisis in the
coal strike and none is threatened
until after June, when the reserve
supply win have been practically
wiped ont but in the meantime he
viii make every effort to keep the
operators from advancing their rates.

PRESIDENTS RATE
GUT HOPE IS DIM
Executives Tell Him of Great
Obstacles in Way.
SAY PLAN IS IMPRACTICAL
Railway Chiefs Tell Harding That
Suggested Reductions So Drastic
Would Make Operation With
out Loss impossible.

Washington, May "a - President
Harding and his advisers have prac-
tically abandoned hope of a short cut
to reduce freight rates, it was learned
at the White House.
Almost insurmountable obstacles
are In the way of voluntary reduc-
ton Of rates on basic commodities by
the railroads, the President has been
Informed. The fact came out after
the cabinet meeting.
The plan suggested by President
Harding when he met railroad execu-
ttves Saturday evening, plan which
was drawn up by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover, has been declared to
be impractical and out of reach by the
railway heads
Reductions Too Drastic.
The reductions were said by the rail
chiefs to be so drastic as to make it
impossible for them to operate with
out loss. One of the cuts was a %
per cent reduction in the cost of coal
transportation. This would bankrupt
many of the railroads operating al
most exclusively in the coal territory,
it was commended and could not be
entertained. Reductions on other COM
mOditieS while net so drastic, would
also bring the operating expenses
above the operating income
The railway officials informed the
President that the schedule proposed
by the secretary of commerce could
not be considered 1t was at this
stage of the conference that the Pres
fdent suggested that committee be
named to discuss with the interstate
commerce commission the pending
Redistribution of transportation costs.
1t was this turn in the Presidents
economic move that caused the White
House to let 1t be known that there is
nothing further the executive can do
in the matter and the railroads and
the interstate commerce commission
would have to settle the issue.
President Harding was said to feel
that he does not have as much hope
of immediate results from his inter-
ventiOn as he does from urging aban-
donment of the twelve-hour day in
the steel industry, which was taken up
almost simultaneously and in the same
fashion-namely, with men chiefly
concerned invited to the White House
dinner table.
Tells Troubles to President.
Railroad presidents who talked with
the President had many troubles to
recount, it was said. The wage situa-
ton, which is controlled largely by
the railroad labor board, was fire.
quently cited by the railroad chiefs as
one barrier to rate reduction.
While no changes in the transporta-
ton act will be advocated by the adj
miniStratiOn as result of the discus
sion, President Harding is said to feel
that the labor board, now stationed in
Chicago, fought to be brought to
Washington so that there can be some
contact between those who, fix rates
and those who fix wage costs of trans
pOrtatiOn."

Credit May Belong to Aztecs.

The question whether Roger Bacon

wives the contention as to whether it
was not in the New World that both
these instruments were first invented.

yalfced in astronomy and optics than

The Hall an Index.

The furnishings in the hall are like

The furnishings in the hall should, first

furniture itself must be selected with
