AMERICA WILL NOT
PAYFOR zEPPL|N
She Will Accept Ship if it
Comes to Her Without Cost
a. Under Versailles Pact.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The navy
department 1t was stated today has
notified the state deparement that II
does not want the German Zeppelin
now being constructed by Germany
for the United States under the rep
aration clause Of the Versailles treaty
unless 1t comes to America without
cost.
The question has arisen, 1t was
said, as to whether the amount of
money allotted for this purpose by
the allies under the reparations agree
ment was sufficient to complete the
Zeppelin, and there is possibility
the United States may be required to
make up the difference If she cares to
have the ship. This, It is stated, Secre-
tary DENLY is not willing to do.

SAYS POOR FARE
BADLY IN COURT

Washington, Feb. 23.-Equality
before the law is impossible so long
as the rich and powerful are repre-
sented in the court by highly edu-
Gated lawyers, while a large portion
of the poor and ignorant are represent
ed by incompetent men, Judge Good
win of Chicago declared in his open
ing address at conference of the bar
association here. Until such is cor
rected there will be little justice he
said.
The shrewd and powerful men and
interests of large means are able to
know who are competent and who are
not, Judge Goodwin asserted, adding
it was difficult for the poor and ignor-
ant man to make just estimate as
to who was capable of properly ad-
vising him.
During my years as a trial Judge
I was frequently distressed by the
fact that one side or the other in the
case before me was so incompetently
represented by counsel or represent
ed by such ignorant counsel that
owing to the skill and learning of at
torneys on the other side it seemed
impossible to get the case properly
before the court or to keep error out
of the record" Judge Goodwin said.

TEN HOUR DAY IS
VIRTUAL RESULT
OF CUT IN WAGES
The United States Labor Board
Eliminates Extra Pay for
Railroad Workers Until A.
ter Ten Hours, Pay Pro Rata
Wages After Eight Hours,
Effective March 1st.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Another pay
slash this time hitting 10000 rail-
road fremen and oilers was made by
the U. s. labor board when It an
nounced rules effective March first
eliminating extra pay until after the
10th hour and setting up a split
trick" of eight hours within spread
Of twelve without any over time pay.
Following several other decisions
which virtually restored the ten hour
day for railroad men the board au-
thorized the roads to pay only pro
rata wages after the eight hours
which the board denoted as consti-
tuting a days work. Time and half
will be paid after ten hours. In the
case Of the split trick straight time
will be paid for the first ten hours
whether 1t is included in the twelve
hour spread or not, and time and
one half will be given thereafter.
Formerly the firemen and oilers
were paid time and one half after
eight hours. Sundays and holidays
will be paid for at the pro rata rate,
a minimum Of three hours pay being
made for two ho( RS work or less.
Monthly rated employees wages are
to be adjusted to eliminate the old
time and one half provisions.
The boards new rules supplant the
national agreement made during fed
eral control which has been in effect
since 1916.

MUCH OPPOSITION
TORESERvAT|ONS
ON PACIFIC PACT
PRESIDENT FAVORABLE
PRESIDENT FAVORABLE
The New Reservation Provides
That Nothing in the Pacific
Treaty Shall be Construed
as Committing the Nation to
Armed Force Without Con-
gress' Consent.

Washington, Feb. ga modife
blanket reservation to the four pow
er Pacific treaty made before tn
Senate foreign relations committe
after a conference with Presiden
Harding met with immediate oppo
sition from several Republicans a
well as Democratic committeeman.
The new reservation intended as ,
substitute 70 rthat proposed severa
days ago by Senator Brandegee O.
Connecticut provides that nothing
in the treaty shall be construed al
committing the United States to ar
exercise Of armed force without the
consent Of Congress.
After more than an hours delay
which failed to win over to the new
proposal any of the senators who had
supported the Brandegee reservation
the committee adjourned.
Although Senator Lodge did not
inform his colleagues specifically as
to the attitude of the President the
other members understood that the
reservation would be acceptable at
the White House. 1t had been dis
cussed at the earlier conference be-
tween Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Harding,
but It was not formally offered to the
committee with administrative back
ing.
Senators Borah, Republican of
Idaho, and Johnson, Republican of
California, both pronounced the
modified draft as unsatisfactory,
while Senator Brandegee and his fol-
lowers withheld a decision and indi-
Gated by their attitude in the discus
sion that they did not find the new
proposal readily acceptable.
Washington, Feb. 23.-Advice of
Harding as to the accept
ance of the reservations to the four
power Pacific treaty was sought by
Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and
New Of Indiana, Of the foreign rela-
tions committee.
The conference generally was re-
garded as having an important bear
ing on the progress of the Pacific
pact toward senate ratification, action
of the foreign relations committee
having been held up pending ascer-
tainment of the Presidents views.
Foremost among the proposed
discussed by the two
senators was that Of Senator Bran
degee, Republican Of Connecticut,
providing that every adjustment
reached under the treaty shall be
subject to the review of Congress.
This has been favored by the In
diana Senator, while Senator Lodge
has not committed himself. Mr..
New reiterated his oposition today
after seeing Mr.. Harding, but gave
no indication of the Presidents
views.

Matrimony is a long sentence with

A man is married for the rest of his
life, but he gets very little rest.
If woman minded her business she
wouldn't have many callers.
Beauty is woman's chief asset; her
efforts to preserve it make husbands
liabilities.
A woman who is always getting her
self up TO kill makes home deadly for
her husband-Boston Transcript

NEVER DID LIKE INDIANS

An Oklahoma editor tells of an old
Indian that came into his Office to pay
for his paper. The editor took the
money, then the Indian wanted re.
ceipt. The editor tried to talk him ou'
of it. Mr.. indian insisted on getting
the receipt After making it the editor
wanted to know why he was so per
sistent about wanting receipt. The
Indian saidk "Me die some time. Go &c
big gate and st. Peter ask If beer
good Indian. / say yes. He say, die
you pay editor for paper? | say yes
He say, where is receipt? / no have 1t

To us no season of the year awakens
so much of tenderness and fellow feel
ing towards all humanity as Christmas
vt is not only time of well wishing
but kindly doing, with vein of sym
pathy that would turn no one away
empty withhold no tender greeting, no
act of kindness, no word of love that
might contribute to another'S happi-
ness. No sacrifice seems too great that
me might not bless one another
no yielding up of self too trying that
we might not smooth some life, no trial
of patience too great that we might
not bear and forbear with spirit
vexed with many things. An apprecia-
tive Christmas will rule the baseness,
rudeness and roughness out of any life.
christmas is the time of love. Hatred,
envy and malice can have no Christ
mas. Green and selfshneSs are entirely
foreign to the day.

1t does the world good to open up
its doors and take in the seasons greet
lngs. Business goes on all the happier
because there is warm, charitable
feeling in mans soul toward his en-
ployer or employees of acquaintance.
We are all so busy we are apt to forget
to be considerable, forgiving and kind.
1t is well to let the brain rest and allow
the heart to rule sometimes, or men
may lose the faculty of loving and be
ing charitable.

Santa Claus reindeer with their
spreading antlerS, may have walked
two and two ont of the ark when it
rested on Aarat's crest after the food
subsidized, but who cares? The gift of
eternal youth is theirs and they are too
busy to bother with family records or
chronological tables. Each year the
rhythmic patter Of their tiny hoofs will
be heard on your roof on Christmas
eve if your heart keeps young and
true and your ears still attuned to the
faintest whisper of Gods own meSsen-
gers. Santa Claus finds his happy way
into the homes of the rich and poor
alike, into the palace and into the cot
tage, wherever children have been sent
to brighten and to bless.
