Mrs. r. Mathews gave a birthday dinner last Friday evening at ' o'clock in honor of her father, Judge S. B. Gilliland, who turned his eightieth mile stone on that day. The big birthday cake was a work of art and a thing of beauty, decorated with eighty candles of varied colors. When the candles were blown out and the cake cut and served with punch during the social evening, it proved just as tasteful as it was good to look upon. Among the many kindly remember ances received, was a box of cigars send him by Da Silva Council, Knights of Columbus.
 Judge Gilliand in a reminiscent mood recalled the fact that this birth day dinner reminded him of his twen- ty-first birthday dinner at Knoxville, Tenn, because it was so different. The union army had been surround ed for twenty-two days, during which time no rationS were issued. On that day relief came including rations and he drew big beef rib which he start ed to roast over his camp fire, but his appetite was more overpowering than his desire for a well done DOT tion. He had been living on mule meat and while it had plenty of kick there was something about it that failed to satisfy.
 The table decorations were big American beauty roses and ferns. The roses were distributed as favors to the following guests: Rev. Father Va bre, Mrs. James Bynes, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes Weidner, MT. and Mrs. Homer Bartlett, Mrs. Dan Williams.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RALLY

Roy Bregg, a representative of the Christian Endeavor society of the southwest, spoke at the Federated church Tuesday evening. After the address a social was held. Games and songs were enjoyed after which re- treatments were served.
 Among many other things of inter- est which the speaker mentioned was the fact that the Christian Endeavor society was somewhat different from the Sunday school in that it was ex- pressional as well as impressional. It is a training department in the church for the young people to equip themselves for the future responsi- bility of the church. We trust that all of our young people will avail them selves of this department of training.

nights. but the President was never particularly fond of shooting the reptiles He would rather shoot few par holes the golf links than all the alligators in the world.
 The proposition of Representative Vincent Brennan of Ohio to equip the United States capitol with radio "broadcaster" capable of carrying the House and Senate debates to all parts of the country so that the "peepul" can know what is going on every day in Congress is causing som ething akin to alarm in wireless circles. Al ready the question is asked as to what the ether waves have ever done to Congress Go be inflicted with such daily output of oratory? And what chance would the air have to carry anything else once it was freighted with the congressional debates?
 The problems which arise in con nection with the project are simply stupendous. How could the Senate and House both be in wireless opera tion at the same time without serious "interferenee." Certainly il would be necessary to pitch the debates on different pIanes-different wave lengths. And which would claim the higher plane? Furthermore. if all the debates were being 1 broadcasted and some several hun. i dreds of thousands of persons were 1 listening spelibound a the old fam fly fireside. how could you ever get either congressman or senator to stop talking Congress would be in session for 24 hours a day. This naturally ght be obviated if both Senate and House were assigned sev- rnf t... l 1 then nine or 10 senators and nine or 10 congressme. all could take the floor and all talR at the same time. Obviously this might lead to some confusion in the galleries and among the official reporters of dehate, but the folks "on/th line" with tuning apparatus handy. could listen in for while to Senator Lodge and then switch on the Senator Reed and have the time of their lives
 Certainly the wireless telephone has congressional possibilities but if there has been 100 much talk with only the congressional record as a medium of complete expression, what ih the world would happen with lot of radio sets tuned 10 concert pitch and "rarin'" to go.
 Ever since the American army went to France and the word "doughboy" became famous there have been thousand explanations as to origin of the term. First of all there were many efforts 10 impose other names upon the American fighters some bright soul suggested "Sammies" as the proper designation. but when the soldiers heard that they cried aloud in the wilderness for some ono to protect them from their friends. There were several other names in- vented, but doughboy just naturally grew up in the ranks and doughboy stuck
 One Of the best explanations have ever heard of it's origin is that it was once the cavalryman's designa- ton for the infentryman Cavalry men always have swanked it d bit over the infantry ranks as it was always from the infantry ranks that the bakers used to be chosen--hence doughboy.
 However, our friends, the canadi-

 Word filters back 10 Washington from Indiana every now and then that Thomas Riley Marshall may yet be induced to enter the race for the United states Senate from the Hoosier state. Some of those here at the capital who know Mir Marshall best declare that his experience of eight years as presiding officer of the up- per branch cured" him of any de sire ever to serve upon the floor of that august body

Born Of the war, the coalition VIII gradually grow weaker as war mem ories recede until at last it will dis appear. It must continue now for the simple reason that no single party will be numerically strong enough to win a majority in any election of the near future.
 Another coalition will emerge from the next election, whenever it may come. But unless I am very much mistaken the conservatives and the "die hards," who have so loudly ap- plauded the downfall of MT Montague as secretary for India, are having their last fling. The proceedings leading up to and eliminating in the crisis of the last few days will be found to have damage the conserva- tives' chance of figuring prominently in the next 20 at the polls.

Washington, March I1.-President Harding in running down to Florida for a brief period or rest and recre- alton at this time is following habit contracted long before he ever thought of entering the White House as chief magistrate. Florida always has been a great playground for the folks back home in Marion.
 The Indian river particularly has been a faVorite with Marfonites. in eluding the President. Around the Marion club one can hear great tales of former expeditions done on the palm screened river, which is really bit of the. sea, shut in by coral reefs. Marion boasts some wonderful alligator hunters-all of them crenies of Mir. Harding. Old Jim Prender- gast. Dick Crissinger Orly Rapp, Charley King. and Gink Schroeter are but few of the veterans of Indian river hunts. They also are a part of the wonderful little Organization in Marion which helped to make the front porch famous.

Of course. during the var Colonel Christian was rather active on the Union side. So was Dr. George T. Harding. father of the President.
