 Leopold I. was another Hapsburg upon whom the spotlight was turned, this time because of his enormous mouth. The aforesaid mouth was nearly always open. One day his majesty complained to his courtiers that the rain annoyed him by falling into his mammoth facial cavity. One of the most intelligent of the courtiers suggested that the difficulty could be overcome by the simple method of shutting the imperial mouth and not opening it until adequate shelter was reached
 A long line of Hapsburgs of various sorts followed Leopold I. Some of them were wise, others were exceed ingly foolish, but nearly all were pie turesque.

 Some say the enormous opal, weigh ing F ounces, which Franz Josef prized more than all the rest of his jewels put together. was the cause of the hoodoo on the Hapsburgs. Others whisper of the curse hurled at the En- peror by a woman of the House of Karolyi. whose only son was executed by order of the Emperor for his part in the revolution in Hungary The dis tracted mother forced her way into the presence of Franz Josef and cried out the words which became known as the tcurse of the Karolyi'

 Whether or not you believe in the potency of curses, and whether or not you attribute the fatalities of the flaps burgs to the curse of the Karolyi, it is nevertheless true that the old curse was carried out in it's entirety and that Franz Josef's life was combina tion of tragedies which have earned for the Hapsburgs the distinction of maintaining an unbroken chain of sen sation from the thirteenth century to the present day.
 As the touch of Midas turned all things to worldwide sensations. A Hapsburg moved and the world knew of it. The powerful royal family had the greatest hoodoo of all time chained in the attic and they were never known to give it away even for a weekend.

BOSWORTH A PAL
 OF JACK LONDON

Hobart Bosworth, star of J. Parker Read, Jrs production of His Own Law which comes to the Liberty Theatre tonight and tomorrow night, introduc- ed the early film fans of the country to the great characters in Jack Lon don's red blooded stories. In fact it was MT. Bosworth for many years close friend of the novelist, who con verted MT. London to the motion pie lures as a medium of expression thru which he could reach millions of per sons who never read books.
 The star won his first great fame on the screen through his impersona- ton of the brutal sea captain, Wolf Larsen, in "The Sea Wolf" Others have acted that role on the screen but none of them have approached in vi@it- ity and physical dominance the inter- pretation given by MT. Bosworth. He was also the first actor to portray the role of the skipper in London's "The Mutinv of the ElSinore" and other ot his vigorous tales. His Own Law" gives the star one of the virile, sympa- thetic roles in which he excels.

Somehow, someway, the people

RESERVE ACT Isl
TO Be AMENDED
In Making Appointments Presi-
dent Must Have Due Regard
to the Several Interests.
MEASURE INTRODUCED
RESULT OF COMPROMISE
Many Phases of the Reserve
Boards Activities Are De-
nounced and Defended.
tsy The Associates Prsss)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The SEN
ate will probably vote tomorrow TO
put a farmer on the Federal Reserve
board, leaders of both parties said to-
night. Such action viii be taken on
la bill amending the federal reserve act
so that, in making appointments to the
board, the president must have due
regard for a fair representation OF the
financial. agricultural and industrial
commercial interests and geographical
subdivisions of the country" The
measure is a compromise, to which
President Harding and most of the
senators have agreed.
Senators today denounced and de-
Tended the many phases of the reserve
boards activities, there being several
attacks on the general administrative
policy of the board while Senator
Glass. democrat, Virginia, former
secretary of the treasury, known as
author OF the reserve act, stoutly de-
Tended the boards personnel and pro-
gram. He branded criticism of the
board as for the most part the dem
agoguery" of 'eruptive politicians"
Mr.. Glass denials Of charges that the
board was the cause of the heavy de-
.ereases in prices ofe agricultural pro-
ducts was spirited and lie offered fiet
ures ir substantiatiou Of his state
ments which he said were cold and
indisputable"
The other principal speech of the
day was by Senator Norris. republican.
of Nebraska, who. while saying he was
eager to do anything which would aid
the farmers, warned that "the farm
ers are about to be fooled again"
They think" Mr.. Norris said that
this legislation will work wonders:
that it viii give immediate relief, that
a sort Of millennium win be produced.
But it won't. And the reason it won't
is because by no legislative act can
congress take away the discretionary
power vested in the executive over ap-
pointments."
Mr.. Norris said he probably would
vote for some of the amendments
which he said would be offered to the
compromise measure but that in most
cases his vote would be in protest
against what he described as nearly a
ma administration of affairs by the
tre re board.
AIr. Glass in the course Of his speech
offered official statistics, showing, he
said, that while price Of agricultural
products tumbled last yesr, the reg
ional reserve banks actually had in
creased the volume OF currency and
enlarged the credits. He emphasized
