London, Feb. 7-(By The A. P.)- The Imperial Parliament, which was progued December 19, to await ac- tion on the Irish treaty by the Dali Efreann, was reopened today with the reading of the speech from the throne by King George.
 The newspapers of all party affllia- tions, except the few definitely SUD- porting the government, for a long time have been cudgeling the admin tstration for it's alleged delinquencieS each parity organ having it's own grounds for attack. Charges of eYtravagance and failure to grapple with the question of national econ only were among the foremost whiL' others arose from the discontent re- garding Ireland, the employment situation and several minor matters.
 As to Ireland the King said:
 Articles of agreement have been signed by my ministers and the Irish delegation to which you have already signified your assent They have now been approved by Ireland and the (Irish) provisional government Cat DubHn) is now engaged in taking over the administration of Ireland.

New Board : Will Control
 City Garage

The ultimate destination of the municipal garage now seems to be under the supervision of a new com mission. Mayor Fred Atwater clear ly outlined his official view of the garage today, and intimated that within the next month he will name a new commission to be in full charge
 According to the mayor, the old commission is still in power, as the garage is not officially completed.
 ''Tle garage building has been con structed, but the garage itself has never been formally taken over by the city, he said. There is consid- erable equipment and apparatus that must be installed before we can con sider the project as completed. We are now at work putting in the ap- paratus, and expect to have it conn pleted in every respect inside of 30 days.
 ''At that time( I shall then consider the supervisory of the place. It is probab bic that I will appoint a new commission. to be composed of heads of departments that do not regularly use the garage and who are in no ways connected with the garage"

Legion Runs
 Novel Hotel

Chicago, Feb. - A hotel that suggests that its guests take a hair cut and a good warm bath before registering and that assfduously routs them out of bed at o'clock in the morning would not be an en- tire success at Palm Beach. But the hoste1ry in Chicago, operated by the American Legion for the beneflt of unemployed exso1diers. has a good, contented clientele
 The confirmed "hoater" Is taboo at this inn-its avowed purpose be- ing not to supply a home for pro- fessionaa e'er-do-we1Is. but to pro- vide temporary, comfortable shelter fir ex-service men who are earnestly seeking a position. Army regulations are observed only with regard to health and sanitation. In the morn ing, when a guest Is "called," he is requested by the management (who never was a top-serseant) to make his own bed. He is then given his fill of doughnuts and coffee, and thus fortified goes out to rustic a job He cannot "fall in" again until o'clock in the evening.
 The hotel maintains in it's lobby an employme ent bureau, which reg isters all its ex-Servfce guests and keeps them informed as to industrial conditions and needs.
 There are accommodations for 100 guests, and as soon as a man finds satisfactory employment, he is no longer eligible for room and bath" :" thus taking way for less fortunate buddy who is still looking"

Yank MakhinERo WRo got e9 into the war ne ears aas
 and stayed late the soldier bonus
 bill, which now seems certain to
 mean a sum sufficient to set him up
 in business in a small way and to
 secure his future independence if he
 invests it iudiciously.
 riod of war he could draw & maxi
 mum, in cash, of $e5s.25. If, he
 served at home he could draw a
 maximum of s755; This is f1gnred
 1917. to June 30, 1919. inclusive, the
 maximum period for which a soldier
 will be able to draw adjusted com
 pensation if the btl is passed. If he
 a day less the $60 bonus already
 paid. and if he served at home he
 could get s1 a day less the same
 $6O.
 But there are features to the pro-
 posed bill by which he could draw
 nearly half as much more if he
 doesn't take 1t in cash. He could even get this additional amount in cash school.
 Five different plans of compensa- ton are provided. The four, in addt- tion to the cash plan. are the "ad- justed service ceH'tifcate'' or paid-up endowment insurance plan; the ''vo- cational training aid" plan, the farm or home aid'' plan and the "land settlement aid' plan. Insurance Plan Is Explained The "adjusted service certif1cate.' .' or insurance plan, is in the nature of a twenty-year insurance policy. At the end of twenty years the vet eran would receive in cash 40 per cent. of what he would receive if he | took 8 cash payment at once plus 1-2 per cent. interest. That means if he served overseas | the maximum period of the war he would draw at the end of the twenty years $1,342.25 in cash. plus 4 1-2 per cent. compounded semi-annual- ly.
 If he served at home for the maxi | mum period he would draw $1,057 | plus the same interest the same in- terest.
 If he died before twenty years his l estate would receive the full amount l that would be due, ordinarily. at the | end of twenty years.
 If he wished to borrow on this cer- | tiffcate he could get. in the third year. 90 per cent. of his adjusted ser | vice pay at 1-2 per cent. interest | As the certificate grew folder" he would be enabled to borrow con- tinuafly increasing amounts.

 While We have made no arbitrary reductions in force, the individual losses from natural causes have been such that our total force decreased from 3810 at the end of 1920 to 3,692 at the end of 1921. Thus the larger business of today is being conducted by l1S less people than were conduct ing the smaller business of a year ago. By means of this and other measures, we succeeded in so controlling ex- penseS that the net financial result was reasonably satisfactory, especially when considered in relation to the large plant expansion and to the in crease of 1917 per cent. in taxes over the preceding year. Our total taxes assignable to operation amounted 10 S461 1511 for the year 1921 as com- pared with $194,075 for the year 1916, an increase of 1878 per cent. for the five year period. A further burden In 1922 will result from the increases in the normal income tax rate from 10 to 12 1-2 per cent, under the Federal Revenue Act of 1921
 ''WhfIe our plant program for 1922 is somewhat smaller than that carried out in 1921 1t Is, nevertheless, large, particularly with respect to additional exchanges. For the past few years we have not been able to keep pace with the actual needs for switchboard equipment with the result that while we have been able to provide all ap- rolicants with service of some kind, there are many who have necessarily been asked to take temporarily some form of party line service rather than the individual line service which they preferred.

SOLDIER BONUS PLAN WOULD
 GIVE MANY BUSINESS START
Yanks Who Served Full Period In France Would Get
 Maximum of $958

If the veteran chose the vocational training plan he would also receive dinarily receive in cash. He would receive this monthly at the rate of S1.75 day for the period of train ing. As in the insurance plan this would mean the overseas man could receive a maximum of $1.S42.25 and the home service man could get maximum of $1,057.
 The farm or home aid plan" would authorize the veteran to re- ceive from the Government the ad- Justed service pay plus an additional 40 per cent. if he applied the money toward the purchase of farm or nome. AS in the insurance and the training plans the maximum amounts would be $1,342.25 and $1 057 for the two classes of veterans.
 The Hand settlement aid" plan would give the veteran the prefer ence right to take lands on the open ing of public or Indian lands or of reclamation projects. He would be permitted to file on such lands as opening for general public entry. In addition, under this plan, the veteran would be entitled to his adjusted compensation plus 40 per cent. but
 making payments 'in connection with the lands on which he has made entry.
 Majority Will Not Get Maximum. Of course. the majority of former service men would not receive the
 maximum amount due for either home or overseas service. The lat ter group which include soldiers and sailors who were on foreign service at the outbreak of the war, mostly | regulars.
 The full period" home service men would be considerable and would include. in addition, to the regular army and navy men who were in the service at the time the
 war broke out. many national guardsmen who had not yet been l mustered out after Mexican border duty and many who jumped into the game" when it seemed that war was imminent
 However, even the veteran who served only one year or six months would receive amounts of tidy pro- portions.
 If he served one year overseas he could draw $396.25 cash or s55474 | on either of the other four plans Ii
 he served one year at home he could draw $3O5 in cash or $427 on one o1 the other four plans.
 If he served six months overseas
 he could draw SITS cash or $245 on | any of the other four plans If he served six months at home he could draw SIPS in cash or S17S.2O on one or the other four plans

 In the last lecture, on ''The Indian Homes in New England" Miss Sco- vile described the country prior to the coming of the white man and the changes in 1t after the arrival of the English settlers.

in Wisconsin for home use was held to-
be in violation of the Serverson prohi-
bition enforcement act by the supreme
court of Wisconsin today, in an opinI
ion deciding the issue involved in the
case of the state against Curtis Nelson
of Iowa county, convicted in the lower
court of unlawfully manufacturing in
toxicating liquor. Justice ~Doerfer
wrote the opinion which gives strict

The decision of the supreme court
means that the Severson act as finally
enacted by the legislature, is bone dry.
Justice Doerfier held that cit is the
inevitable conclusion that the intent of
the legislature was to prohibit not only
the sale but the manufacture of intox-
icating liquors"
The case involving the home. brew
issue was raised when Curtis Nelson
Of Iowa county was arrested by Deputy
state prohibition commissioners after
they had found 81 gallons of wine CON
tanning from 10 to $3.50. alcohol in his
home. He argued that there. was no
necessity Of his holding "a permit be-
fore engaging in manufacture so long
as the product was not sold.
