Congress Still At
Sea on Tariff.
Long Secret Conferences
Fail to Settle Valua-
ton Squabble.

WASHINGTON - Differences be-
tween Republicans of the senate hn-
ance committee and the house ways
and means committee over tariff val
uation principles have recently been
the subject of prolonged secret con-
ferences.
The house tariff bill, which has been
championed by Chairman Fordney and
other Republican leaders of the house,
provided for the American valuation
principle. This was resisted by the
senate which in undertaking to re-
write the house measure, long ago
abandoned that principle.

More Character and Less of
 Culture Is Urged for Pupils

New York, March 2S-More char ater and less lultur! That is our great educational necessity today. Honesty, justice and decency con modern efficiency.
 These are the opions of John J. Ffgert, United States Commissioner for the National Education Associ- alton. Department of Superintendence in Chicago, said:
 eff We cannot teach these virtues along with modern thought, then we had better dismantle our sp1endidly- equipped institutions and return to the old log schooIhouse.
 tIn the words of famous Evan gelist, 'T would rather have my boy in heaven learning his A B Cs than in hell reading Latin and Creek"
 'The man who discovered that surgical instruments should be sharp made an important discovery, but much more important was the dis covery that they should be steri- fixed. Better to have a dull knife that is clean than a sharp one that Is fou1.'
 Character Put First
 Must we return to the three R's that were taught in our school houses ?
 Do our public school graduates write and speak good English or do they disgrace their teachers and their educational system?
 Harry B. Chambers. member of the Board of Education of New York City, has some interesting views which he has contributed to the discussion. He said today:
 Without character no success is possible
 Financial success is often just chance, but with character properly founded one can be truly successful and happy in life.
 This is the only way to solve crime, drug and sociaistic evils.
 "'I feel that we do not sufficiently stress the fuToermentaI studies of English, spelling and lower mathe- matics.
 Sewing, manual training and swimming are good in their place but fundamentals must not be lost sight of ''
 Must Teach Citizenship.
 Citizenship must be added to the three R-'s in the opinion of both MT. Chambers and John J. Figert, who said:
 We have not yet learned to teach citizenship to our boys and girls. We must teach respect for the flag; we must teach the principles of our Government and American history in a fare more effective way.

 Before the migration actually oc- CUTS, however, the Summer hone housecleaning. Bones of chickens, lambs and other prey brought to the nest last Summer to feed the vora- cious young will be thrown out, new tried out, and generally things will be made comfortable for Mrs. Eagle who will not leave the nest after the eggs are laid until the young eaglets are finally kicked out to shift for themselves in the Fall.
 Plan to Get life Story
 The faculty of Western Reserve plans to get a complete story of the life of the family. In a large elm tree, not quite as tall as that in which the eagles have their summer home, the men of science are now establish ing a camp. The home of the ob- servers is about eight rods distant from the eagles nest. A steel ladder has been put in place, and at the present time carpenters are at work in the tree topbuilding house which will be large enough to house and care for those spying on the eagles cook their own meals and will record the life history of their subjects by means of a, movie camera, aided and assisted by copious notes.
 The house in the tree tops is locat- ed far enough away not to disturb the feathered family under observation but near enough so that the camera will record the changing life from day to day.
 It is said at Western Reserve Uni versity that, this will be the first time that the king of all American birds has been placed under such close ob- servation, and the summers work is expected to be a real contribution to

Bootblack, with Smiles, Lays
 Foundation for His Success Polishes Governors Boots With Energy And Corners Political Shines.

Sacramento, Cal, March 23.-This is the story of man who made a modest fortune shining shoes who despite his humble calling is one of the best known and most picturesque characters in California and yet, because he prizes it above all else, the story is more of his title than the man.
 Taylor Walker is known as "the politcia1 bootblack," which title he can now lay undisputed claim to in as much as he has just blacked the shoes of Governor w. D. Stephens, the thirteenth State Executive to become one of Taylor's patrons.
 In the early seventies Taylor Walker, then boy of fourteen years fled from the Southland and eventually settled in Sacramento For lack of better occupation he be- came a bootblack. A happy philos- ophy of life prompted him to give a cheery smile to each of his custom CTS, in addition to 8 brilliant polish to the gentlemans boots, and in this probably lay the basis for his unusual success
 which later earned him the appel Iation of political bootblack' oc- cured one morning early in April 1875, when Newton Booth, then Gov crnor of California, chanced to drop into one of Taylor's chairs for a shine. The young bootblack pol ished long and diligently on the Governors cowhide boots and, when his task was done, gave the State Executive warm smile in lieu of the customary Thank You" From

Cleveland, March 23.-And now science is going to record and give to the world in it's minutest "details the housekeeping habits, the love secrets and the family life of the American eagle, the noble bird whose likeness adorns our coins, and whose fighting spirit is believed to make the people whose virtues it perSonlfi6S unbeat- able in war.
 A huge eagles nest located between this city and Lorain, on Lake Erie near the training camp of Johnny KiIbane, champion featherweight box CT, will be placed under close obser- vation this Spring, Summer and Fall Reserve University, and what they discover about the life habits of the eagles will later be given to the world, it was announced here.
 Nest is Huge Affair
 The nest-or rather nests. for the eagle is is an aristocrat among birds and maintains a Winter and Sum inner home-iS a huge affair twenty feet In diameter in the topmost crotch of a huge tree in @ plot of virgin forest about half mile from one of the most heavily-trave1ed roads in the Middle West. The Summer home, where the young are reared, is the more pretentious, however, in this respect differing from human folk. If a nice young lamb can be caught used to line the nest where the young are reared, but no such comforts adorns the home of father and moth CT eagle during the winter months.
 The pair which are to be observed the present season have spent their Summers in the one nest and their Winters in another about four miles distant. Already, it is said, although is still some time distant the old birds have made a tour of inspection to

that day on Booth became a regular patron of the negro boys stand. Later when his term of office was ended, Governor Booth established a pre- cedent which has been seldom brok- en since by bringing his successor to Taylor Walkers stand and introduc- ing him to the gubernatoria1 boot black.
 Became Politicians Mecca.
 The colored boys little stand be- came more and more a favorite with the politicians. Members of the State Legislature, public officials and candidates for office - all came to Taylor to have their shoes pol ished- It became a general clearing house for politcial gossip, and Tay- lar gradually picked up an intimate Knowledge of politics, so that he could chat inteIligently with his patrons. Finally came the event which ended all disputes as to his right to be called the political bootblack." :" President Grant, stopped off in Sac ramento on a tour of the State, was brought to Tay1ors stand to have his shoes shined. Taylor looks upon this as one of the proudest moments of his life, although later he also blacked risOn.
 By constant work and careful in vestment of his savings Taylor is now financially independent, but all though past sixty years of age he still works a full eight hour day at his stand. polishing the shoes of many of California's State officials and a host of Sacramento's leading citi- zenS.

Of Children Is
 Arranged

Los Angeles. March 23.-Los An geies is the first city in America, as far as it can be learned here, which has ever attempted to stage a chil- dren's exposition on the same scale as a. regular state fair. The huge event will be held April to 16, and it is anticipated that there will be no less than 10000 children exhibitors and 5000 articles of all descriptions, made by themselves, on display.
 The exposition takes on a civic character, being backed by the Board of Education and managed by the Parents-Teachers' Association and the Assistance League of Southern Cali fornia- Back of the plan are two primary motives; to present~an edu- cationa1 display of the ingenuity and skill of children and to obtain funds with which to carry on child welfare work

 President Harding regards the aoo- nus bill as inadvfsab1e and unworlza- b1e. He regards the House attempts to cut the army to 15,000 men and the navy to 65. 900 men or less, and the directions as to how the over seas troops shall be stationed as a bold attempt to usurp his preroga- lives.

DISCUSS SCHOOL HOURS.

Paris, March 23-Madame Curie, discoverer of radium, appears to be taking her duties as member of the Academy of Medicine very seriously She was present when the Academy discussed reforms in secondary edu- cation and spoke in favor of shorter hours of study in high schools. The
 motion under discussion was to the effect that the time devoted to classes and home work should not exceed eight hours for the lower classes and nine for the higher
 Madame Curie gave her opinion that eight hours was too long for the smaller children and the motion was therefore sent back to sub-comuait- fec for reconsideration.

North Dakota Has Unique
 ax Distinction of U. 5.

Washington. March s3-The sover- eign state of North Dakota. birth place of the Non-Part1san League and the great testing pit for political experiments along economic lines. has a unique distinction among the IS states Of the Union.
 It is the only one of the AS when in 1918 and 1919, the last two years for which records are available. did not have a citizen who paid surtaXes on an income in excess Of TO,OoO. No body in the state had an income this Slarge even with wheat selling at wartime prices. It appears. that North Dakota is populated by real dirt farmers.
 Government economists have been puzzling their heads over it, but as vet they have reached no conclusions as to the why and wherefore of this state of affairs unless it be that the state-controlled banks and the state controlled elevators and State-con- rroTled other things have kept down large profits and enforced a more sEandardized distribution all the way round.
 Large Incomes Few In West.
 Absence of great incomes is con- Spicuous in all Western states that are devoted almost entirely ho agrlcuI- ture. as is North Dakota, but all around in sister states, where eX- perienceN with state control is lacking or not so far advanced, there have been at least a few taxable incomes of more than S7O,OOO.
 In South Dakota, for instance. there were two men who in both years paid taxes on incomes in eX- cess of S70, ,000- In Idaho there were two in 1918 and three in 1919. Nevada almost equalled the record of North Dakota as there was only one man so caught in 1919 and none at all in l91S New Mexico had four in 1918 and only one in 1919-
 It is in the great manufacturing and industrial states of the East that are found the large taxable incomes. To what extent this is true is readily seen bv the official fact that SIS of all income surtaXes are paid by per sons living east of the Alleghany Mountains The boundless West may be enormously rich in resources, but not in enormous incomes of the sev- enlty thousand and above variety.
 Fifteen States in 1919 reported they had more than one hundred citi- zens within their borders who paid surtaxes on incomes above SI0,0O0. They are the richest States in the Union from a -surtaN standpoint. Their rank and the number of greac incomes follow:
