Washington, April 3.-(By the

by special house committee to de-
termine whether dismissal by Pres
ident Harding last Friday of GER
tain officials at the bureau of en-
craving and printing was justified,
was proposed in a resolution intro
duced today by Representative
Moore, Democrat, of Virginia.
Mr.. Moore asks that a committee
be appointed by the speaker to as
certain why the executive order
was issued and whether any inves-
tigation of conditions at the bureau
preceded its PRONUNCIATION. The
resolution also seeks to have it de-

cate that the order may be regard
ed as a step in the direction of a
return to the discredited spoils

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need OF 1t.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fultills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects url-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by parcel post. Address Dr;
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

they heard sounds Of an approaching
sleigh or whether the noise was all
made by the wind
Just as they were almost giving up
hope of his coming some one shouted:
II hear sleigh bells!" And there were
many bells just as though all the
reindeer had come.
Everyone listened. Everyone was
very quiet. Not a sound was made
And yes. yes, there was no mistake
about it. The bells that could be
heard were the bells of the reindeer
Of many reindeer.
Oh, how excited everyone was.
The sound of the bells came nearer
and nearer and nearer. The sleigh
could not be far away now.
Then some one called out and said:
Lets turn out the lights so we
can see him coming up the steps of
the building"
SO the lights were turned out and
the great room was in darkness.
And then they heard a stamping ard
pounding, and down at the foot of
the steps stood Santa Claus.
He was dressed in an enormous red
coat trimmed with white and on his
head he wore long red stocking cap.
His face was so red and rudy and
his mustache and beard SO white.
He was brushing off the snow from
his great boots, and as he did so
he called out to his reindeer down the
street where he had left them:
"Good-by for a little while, my
beauties I'll meet you again at the
place we arranged.
"Stay there, my beauties, and Santa
Claus will be back"
Oh, such a shout as there was when
Santa Claus came up and into the
room. Everyone ran toward him ana
some put their arms around him and
others took hold of his hands and even
of each finger.
"Well, this is a JOY" said Santa
Claus. ito be able to get a little out
ing like this with visit to all my
people.
"And now I'll empty my pack, for
I brought every child a present"
There, sure enough, was a box Of
candy for every child and little
toy
And then Santa went off into the
snowy night once more, carried back
home by his faithful, marvellous rein
deer.

Fairy Tale
]" NARY GRAHAM bonner
SANTA CLAUS ARRIVES

The children of school were hav-
ing a performance for parents and Wis
itors during the Christmas holidays.
Oh, it was a very fine performance.
There was plenty of music to begin
with.
The singing was lovely and the reci-
tations were very fine. Some of the
very small children who recited could
not pronounce very wen, but that
didn't make much difference. They
were so cunning.
And when some of them forgot to
make their bows some one from be-
hind gave them little pushes so that
they made their bows then.
A play was given, too, and that was
very fine, and everyone looked so hand
some in costume.
The very naughtiest little boy of all
took the part of an angel, for when his
face was still and he wasn't up to
any prank he did have quite an angel
like face!
And at the end of the performance
it was told about that Santa Claus
was going to appear.
oh, what excitement there was.
Santa Claus is coming" every one
said. "Santa Claus is coming"
And then they waited and they
heard the wind outside. Yes, a wind
was blowing up and it was beginning
to snow hard.
They did hope Santa Claus would
not lose his way in the storm.
But then they were comforted in
thinking that no one had ever heard
of Santa Claus losing his way BEFORE,
and he had surely taken good many
trips and had travelled a great deal.
And then the wind blew more and
more, and they did not know whether

billion dollars. They also insist they
are the owners of the Mosul oil fields,
which are in the Mesopotamian terri
tory inundated to Britain. This oil
question is perhaps the most trouble
some one the conference has to deal
with. It is reported the English may
finally consent to throw over Feisal
and his kingdom of Iraq and let Tur-
key have the territory, provided they
are assured of concessions for the de-
velopment of the oil fields. Several
other European nations claim share,
however, and Americans have large in
terests in the region, which Messrs.
Child and Grew are trying to safe
guard by insisting on the open door.
The Angora government seems rather
partial to the Americans in this mat

Eastern Thrace and Adrianople have
been turned over to the Turks and
they are with difficulty being held back

road from Constantinople. The Greeks
have two army corps posted along the
western bank of the river.

WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK
Feat of Engraver That Is Not Likely
to Be Duplicated for Many
Years.

The bureau of standards was re-
Gently asked to measure what is
probably the smallest piece Of engrav-
ing on glass in the world The en-
craving consists Of the Lords Prayer
(57-word version) engraved on glass
in a space of .001 by .002 of an inch.
The writing can only be seen under
a high-power microscope, the mangifi-
cation required being from 900 to 1000
times. The measurements by which
the above dimensions were determined
were carried out in the laboratories of
the bureau
The extremely small size of this en-
craving will be realized when it is
considered that if a square inch were
entirely filled with writing of this size
the entire Bible could be written IS
times in that space in other words,
something more than 100000 words
could be written in square inch.

THERE were important develop
L ments in Paris last week concern
ing the possible occupation of the
Rhineland by the French when the ex-
pected default in Preparations payments
by the Germans comes in January. Ca
bles from Paris almost fatty asserted
that the government had completed it's
arrangements for such action, includ-
ing plans for both military and civil
administration of the territory to be
seized, and it was assumed that there
would be no objection by Great Brit
ain, since France was supporting the
British program in relation to the Near
East. On Wednesday, however, Pre-
mier Poincare cabled to Ambassador
Jusserand in Washington directions to
state that there was not the slightest
foundation in fact for the report that
the French government was contem-
plating a forcible entry into the Ruhr.
Chancellor Cuno had notified the al
lies that his government fully in
dorsed the "final" demand of. Doctor
Wirth for a moratorium of three or
four years on all reparations payments
and huge international loan. Berlin
was greatly disturbed by the reports
from Paris, but could only reiterate
that fulillment Of the treaty of Yer
sailles would ruin both Germany and
France. Questioned in the house of
commons, Prime Minister Bonar Law
said he had no information that would
justify him in saying the French occu-
patton Of the Ruhr was imminent; but
just before that he had a long confer
ence with the French ambassador, and
this was significar+ because heretofore
he has insisted on leaving foreign af-
fairs to the foreign office.
