Advocacy of the tariff and the bonus
bills is a big factor in the crushing
OF the Mondell- Fordney- Campbell ma

Mondeli, Republican floor leader, is vol

man of the Ways and Means Committee,
decided not TO be a candidate for re-
election. But there is deep seated
belief at the Capitol that Mr.. Fordney
saw the handwriting on the wall and
realized that he was "in' for severe
rebuke by his constituents for his sup
port OF the exorbitant tariff and the
bonus. Rather than be thus repudiated.
Mr.. Fordney decided to step down and
out.
The defeate of Representative Philip
Campbell (Kan). chairman of the
Rules Committee, is attributed almost
solely to his support of the bonus bill
and his high handed tactics in making
pet" legislation privileged while block
ing measures Objectionable TO him and
his clique.
This trio has been at odds with Pres
ident Harding on most important is
sues which have come up during the
present session of Congress. Among
other things they ignored the Presidents
wishes concerning the bonus bill and
blocked his efforts to have the ship sub
sidy bill voted upon early.
Representative Mondell will probably
be succeeded by Representative Long
worth as floor leader. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Longworth will be more friend

the floor leadership would have been

Ask an Astonishing Variety OF
Questions

Japanese newspapers are called up
on to answer variety OF questions
that might well stump a lawyer. The
Yamato came up against the following
recently:
Last month I married a certain
man, but he has now divorced me,
His unreasonable excuse Is that my
eyebrows are a pale color and that
l must therefore be leper. Can
sue him for the damage he Is caus-
ing to my reputation? A Subscriber"
The answer was: Eyes you can sue
him for breaking off the marriage, as
he cannot use pale-colored eyebrow
as cause for divorce"
More of a poser was submitted to
the wisdom Of the Yomiuri in the fol-
lowing: II am woman of twenty
years. I was born with a round face
and my friends make fun Of it Please
tell me some way that I can change the
shape Of my face, for persecution to
which I am subjected is more than
can bear A Subscriber
The editor deserves credit both for
the truth and sympathy Of his answer:
II am very sorry, but do not know
of anybody who can change the shape
Of your face. However, be encour-
aged, fullfaced lady, as you are the
personification OF the health Of human

One Of the completely unsolved mys-
teries Of modern history is what be-
came Of the body of Tom Paine, the
famous Anglo-American political writer
and free-thinking philosopher, who
exerted such powerful influence
on the American public during
and subsequent to the Revolution.
Paine died In New York in 1909, and
was buried in New Rochelle. His re-
mains were later removed to England
by radical leader named William
Corbett, who hoped by that act to
further republican doctrine in the
mother country. On reachin. England
Corbett left the body in the hands Of
committee, and what eventually be-
came of it has never been cleared up.
According to one story, the bones
were left in a trunk on Corbett's farm
In England, where they had been for
warded by the committee. After Cor
belts death, when an auction was held
of his effects, the trunk was removed
from his other possessions, and. at

been taken to France, while others be-

The Convulsionnaires were q curious

early part Of the Eighteenth century.
They were in the habit of meeting IN
St. Medard's churchyard, in the
suburbs of Paris, in which was located
the tomb of Able Francois de Paris
where countless miracles were al
legged to have been performed. The
members Of the sect threw themselves
into the most violent contorIons,
rolled on the ground, initiated birds
and animals and fishes, and when en-
tirely exhausted tainted or went INTO

against them, ordering them to be i'm

Experiments carried out to test the
mental effects Of loss Of sleep have re-
vealed the remarkable fact that there
are two distinct phases Of fatigue.
The first is one Of stimulus, under
which work Is done rather better than
under normal conditions. Then fol-

IN which the body makes good its

this phase-Quite the reverse.
What Is called carelessness In often
due to this second stage of fatigue.
When q man knows he is fatigued, he
naturally takes excessive precautions,
but when the second stage comes
along, he does not feel tired, and con-
sequently carefessness steps In.
