TO PAY THE BILL
Washington, September I9-(By the A. P J
The soldiers bonus bill was vetoed today by
President Harding. In returning the measure to

SoliSiCoo Wlliloul Ills dp-
proval the executive, in
a message to the house,
declared that he was in accord with
the awoWed purposes of the bill, but
that he could not subscribe to it's
provisions.
Outlining the reasons for his veto
the president said that congress had
failed, first of ALL t. provide the
revenue from which the bestowal
was to be paid He added that the
ultimate cost could not be estimated
definitely, but that the treasury
figured the total at $3.50, 900 for
the first four years with final
charge in excess of $4,000, 100000.
Mr. Harding told congress the pro-
posed service certificate substituted
for the original cash payment would
constitute borrowing on the nations
credit just as truly as tho the loans
wcr made by direct government bor-
rowing. He said that this involves
a dangerous abuse of public credit"
The executive declared that 1t was
essential TO remember that a more

men would not diminish the later OBJ

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O A new grand opera star, dazzling in her brilliancy, today holds first place in the Armament at the Metropolitan Grand Opera House.
 It would perhaps be unfair to say the old star wanes.
 But Geraldine Farrar, who for fif- teen years has dominated the so- prano roles at the most famous opera house on the American continent, is going on concert tour.
 Her five-year contract has expired, and she has refused to accept a six weeks contract for next season.

 The corvicts had escaped from their cells by knocking down and seriously injured two guards who were bring ing the evening meal Under the leadership of convicted murderer named Fogacci, they bound the other guards and locked them in the guard room Then they rushed into the war den's office, through which they had to pass to get to the main gates of the prison.
 The warden was wounded by the convicts, but his wife, Colombo Rug gieri, dark-haired woman full of that courage for which Corsican wom- en are far-famed, seized her husbands $ revolver and rushed out to meet the coavicts. The latter were armed with rifles, taken from the guards and with huge steel bars which they found lying around. Mime.

 FAIRFAX DECLINES CONTRACT
 Miss Farrar turned down flatly the contract offered for half-season here.
 ''In offering the short-term con- tract to Miss Farrar, MT Gatti- Casazza. the general manager of the Metropolitan, said, II was simply fol- lowing a procedure which is a mat ter of policy with me-to give as much variety as possible in season in artists as well as in repertory 1 hope that Miss Farrar will return to the Metropolitan for the season of 1923-24."
 Mme. Jeritza has grown up in a family of singers She is the wife of Baron Pepper, who is a son of Blanche Marchesi. a world-renowned singer and grandson of Mathilde Marchesi, the famous Paris teacher, who numbered Melba and many other famous singers among her pupils.

these were ailments or alibis. When

GAVE HIS NAME TO CALENDAR

his calendar in 1882

in 1S46 broke the age-old tradition that
the pope should never preach a SER
mon. 1t happened in this way. A
famous preacher of the time, Padre
Ventura, whose eloquence attracted
great crowds, had arranged to preach
at a church in Rome, but at the last
moment he was taken i'll and the dis
appointed people were about to dis
perse when suddenly the bells rang
and it was announced that the SOW
ereign poutif had arrived in tine
church. The pope entered the pulpit
and preached sermon which the his
torian of the time has described as a
simple, good, plain sermon, easily in-
telligible to ALL" 1t was the first time
a pope had preached for 300 years.

WHY THE NAME "M0ONSHlNE'
In Earlier Years the Illicit Liquor Was
Supposed to Be Made Only
at Night.

Americ; calls the liquor illicitly dis
titled, especially in the Allegheny
mountains, lincolnshire" The appar-
ent reason is that it is believed to be
distilled at night and secretly trans
ported without payment of tax or the
authority of official permit. The fact
is, of course, that the secret stills
work as hard in day as at night.
England used the word in similar
manner, though not in the same
sense. Over there moonshine is
liquor that has been smuggled into
the country without payment of tax.
The smuggling is usually done by
small boats from the continent, that
land at lonely shoressat night, and the
cargo is unloaded by the light of the
moon. 1t was this that gave the Liquor
its generic name
American moonshine is raw, I'M
aged and often uncolored spirits. Brit
ish moonshine may be the finest BRAN
dy from France, the choicest rum from
Jamaica. In the British Isles, especially
Ireland, the popular name for home
distilled spirits is mountain dew" be-
cause it is in the hills that it is made,
far from the prying eyes of the ex-
else man.

Eskimos slaughter Musk OK.

The Eskimo hunts the musk OK with
dogs from which they do not flee. On
sighting small band he let's one or
two dogs loose when the older ami
mails Immediately face outward in de-
fensive formation with calves in the
center, and prepare to give fight. AS
soon as the herd is thus anchored
the Eskimo lets all his dogs loose and
then proceeds to kill the musk OK
with gun or bow and arrow. The
musk OK are very fierce, and if a
wounded bull charges the Eskimo, the
dogs in turn Immediately attack him,
which gives the hunter a chance to
shoot a second time. In this way the
Eskimo is able to dispatch the whole
herd.
