Former Clerk for Mississippi
Executive Asks for $780,

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 6.-The
political storm evoked by the
charges filed in Federal Court here
by Miss Frances Birkhead against
Gov. Lee M. Russell conferred today
over the question of whether men,
bers Of the Mississippi legislature,
which is now in session, would
move within the next few days in
any direction looking to Governor
Russells impeachment.
Conservatives Opposed.
Among the members OF the house.
where the INSTRUMENTATION
hold a decisive majority and where
the speaker, Sennett Connors,, Is
himself one of Governor Russells
political opponents, there IL much
discussion already as to the intro
ductlon within the very near future
Of a resolution calling for impeach-
ment.
Among the more conservative
members such a course is being OPP
posed on the ground that no i'm
parchment proceedings should be
initiated until the matter has been
adjudicated in the courts.
This argument is combatted on the
ground that the Federal court will
not hear the Russell Birkhead case
until May, by which time the pres.
ent session of the legislature, which
is the last regular session of Gov
ernor Russell's administration, will
have adjourned.
Sues on Two Counts.

head charges seduction and claims
damages in the sum of 100000. In

asks $50, 900 on each of two counts.

plaintiffs reputation and character
were ruined, and she was caused to
lose her employment and her health

the sum of $4,000.
In the second count, Miss Brk-
head alleges that she underwent an
illegal operation lat the instigation
of Governor Russell. which totally
ruined and wrecked her health,
causing her to suffer untold anguish
and pain, and that she is now an
invalid and must remain so the rest
of her life
In a sworn statement. Miss Bril-.
head charges that the alleged seduc-
ton took place in Mr.. RusselTs pri.
vate office in the statehouse in July,
1918.

Miss Birkhead in this statement
alleges that soon after she accepted
employment as a stenographer in Nj.

Girls all over the country are
solving the high cost of dressing
by living together and wearing
the same clothes. This seems inn
POSSIBLE; most dresses aren't big
enough to cover one let alone two.

This Day and That.

A MEXICAN LEGION members who have
n started tour of French battefieds got
elaborate official reception when they landed at
cherbourg the other day. Across the minds of
some Yankees in the party there must have flashed
a bitter contrast-a contrast between the gold lace
and brass bands of today and the gray old water
side town of yesterday with its crowded British
rest camp the cold hillside and its freight yards
filled with horse cars. They must have been i'm
pressed by the contrast between the sparkling
wines of today and the watery beer of yesterday
between the girls in gay dresses of this summer
and he widows in black gowns of four summers
ago.
The battle area of France will not change
greatly. The rolling fields oak woods and
stone cottages of 1918 will be there in 1885, The
trash will be cleared away, it is true. But it will
be the sort of country and the same sort of
people will greet visitors. 1t is the port towns of
France where the change will be most apparent.
From these places Americans got their first per-
sonal impression of France. This has remained
in their memories ever since. The new impressions
will come with something of shock.

Markets of the World.

THE Department of Agriculture reports that
i the United States will have an abnormal
grain crop The Department Of Commerce
ports that Europe will have grain crop below the
average.
From Texas to North Dakota the wheat fields
flourishing and the farmers will be prosperous.
But the Greek harvest will be per cent below
that of last year. the Italian zs per cent below.
the German about 20 per cent below. and the North
African 80 per cent below. These countries raised
little export grain. 1t does not seem that Ameri-
farmers need worry for a market in spite OF
the abundance of their harvest.
- If world trade conditions were restored there
would be question to Americas coming
prosperity. The present situation, however, will
make this less obvious. The Europeans will need
wheat. Whether they will have money to pay for
it is another question But Europe itself is
experiencing an industrial revival which will gather
strength from month to month. With more money
in the pockets of the city folks they will be able to
pay for American wheat.
On the whole, the outlook is encouraging
indeed to the American farmer with grain to sell.
He need not worry about burning elevators full of
wheat in order to reduce the supply and raise
prices. The hungry stomachs of half the world
will be sufficient to reduce the supply and keep
prices reasonable.

The Presidents Health.

IT Presidency of the United States, it often
i has been said. entails terrific physical
strain on the incumbent. The truth of this must
have been impressed forcefully on Mr. Harding
this summer. On account of the disturbed indus
trial situation throughout the nation he must forego
even the occasional recreation which he has taken
SINCE entering the White House.
The President has. up to the present, taken
proper precautions for the preservation of his
health Now he seems unable to pay attention
even to these. Few occupants of the White House
have been more ardent sportsmen. There have
been great many good-natured quips about Mr.
Harding's devotion to golf and his own skill on
the links. Personally would prefer a decision
on affairs OF moment reached by the Chief Execu-
tive of the United States while trecking over the
fairways than decision reached over his desk on
summer afternoon with the happy voices of null
titudes at play in Potomac Park reaching him
through the open window.
Mr.. Harding as sportsman has endeared him.
self to many people. But the great benefit has
been to himself an Executive with momentous
affairs before him.

((1F THOU hast but loaf of bread sell half
OF IT and buy of the flowers of the narcis-
sus for bread feeds only the body but the
fiowers OF the narcissus feed the soul"
! Thus runs the philosophy Of an old Persian
poet In the District of Columbia today his verse
IS applicable. Outlying streets of Washington are
built up with houses These are apt to pre-
sent rather dreary appearance unless the owners
appreciate the value Of flowers and vines Fortu-
nately the builders have in most cases allowed for
small lawns, by the proper of which these
streets can be transformed during the summer
months into garden spots.
Encouragement of flower gardens in front of
houses is worthy object for any civic association
These add an atmosphere to a neighborhood which
can not be duplicated They make street of
frame cottagesSas beautiful boulevard of man
sons. OF course. planting Of flowers and vines is
entirely dependent the judgment and tastes of
the home owner But something should be done
to encourage the practice.
OF still more importance vines covering
rear fences and walls. The backyards of Wash
mgton are not especially slightly, in some of
the best sections of the city On the street side we
have green lawns and flower gardens-in the rear
only bare wooden fences The unsightliness Of
these can not be concealed. especially in the newer
parts of the city which not built up so COM
pacty. Appropriate use Of ivy of some flower
ing vine would result in a transformation of dead
things into living things and of ugly things into
lovely things
The difference presented by flowerless streets
Is most apparent at this season when nature is at
its best
Citizens associations and neighborhood clubs
can do an excellent work by fostering the idea of
more decorative gardening in the minds of house
owners Flowers. vines. trees and green grass
are abundant in Washington. They constitute one
OF the most noticeable differences between the
Capital and MANY other American cities which are
dreary caverns of brick and stone-even in some
OF the wealthiest heighborhoods But they are
none too abundant. Their growth must be encour-
aged in the newly built streets.
