duty in carrying out the terms of
President Hardings proclamation IN
the rail strike crisis are understood

The use of troops-if necded-is

shall be unhampered.
President Harding and his cahi
net advisers are not convinced that
the use of federal troops will be
necessary to compel respect for the
proclamation, but the white house
described the situation as SERIOUS"
There Is hope on the part of the
President and members of the cab
met that the use of federal troops
will not be necessary as the situa
ton, they concede, would undoubt-
odly be aggravated with the appear

In a park In q southern city of the United States, where mOcking birds delight to cOngregate, the usual after noon band concert was well under way, giving pleasure to large and ap- Dreciative audience. Frequently min gled with or even rising above, the strains of the band, arose the melOul- Ous calls of the knockers, as if they were fully confident that no instru- ments could OutdO the glory and beauty of the notes which bubbled from their swelling thrOats so easily and naturally.
 A canopy was placed over the heaoS of the musicians, from the center or which, attached to its lofty stan, flOated the Stars and Stripes, outlined against the brilliant blue of southern sky. During one of the quieter DOT tIons of the music mOcking bird LOOK uD his place at the very base Of the flagstaff, and sung Justify and con- tinuousIy as if 1t had been prear- ranged that he was to be the sOlolst of the afternoon.
 The leader of the band raised his hand to hush his musicians into sl- lpnce. and then yielding to gracetuI impulse. looked at the matchless sing CT and raised his hat in salutatlOn with an honest recognition of his su periority.

ALMOST PUT HIS FOOT IN II
Visitor in Small Town Found He Had to Be Exceptionally Careful
 About Offending ln-LaWs.

There Is a town in the Southwest where the families have intermarried to such an extent that it is difficult for an outsider to make the least criticism of one person without the danger of offending some family con nectiOn. When an unfortunate visitor commented on this fact to Mir. Jones, the postmaster, MT. Jones nodded.
 Bill Perkins-that's our sheriff. complained of that no longer ago than last week." said he, according to the Philadelphia Ledger.
 You see, it took him mOren week to arrest Frank because Frank got wind that he was wanted on a little matter of sellin' mOOnshine, and he went on a round of visits amongst his relatives, aunts, nephews-in-law and l don't know what all, and 1t wasn't till he had had his fill and went back home to his wife that Bill could make the arrest without seeming to kind of butt In, as you might say, and spoil the reunions"
 "I should think he would make a strange sort of sheriff." said the wis itOr, waiting all the time for senti- mental reasons and then arresting a man when he went home. just be cause his wife wasn't relatiOn!' Whereupon the postmaster drew himself up and assumed remote ex- pressiOn.
 "That's as you look at it," he said in a chilly tone. "I may be bit prejudiced in Bill's favor, as he mar ried my sOn-in-law's youngest sister Anything that concerns him concerns ! me, you understand"
