as an assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, later succeeding Will Hays
In the Cabinet, will be the sue
cessor to Albert B. Fall, as Sec
rotary of the Interior, it was
learned authoritatively here today.
New May Be Successor.
President Harding has informed
friends that he intends transferring
DR.. Work to the Interior Depart
ment, and the news is expected to
stop the headlong rush that a
dozen candidates have been making
for the post. mostly Republican
s'lame ducks defeated in the No
Vember elections. Announcement Of
the change, however, is being held
up until Mr.. Harding is ready at
the same time to announce a new
Postmaster General.
No final decision has yet been
made on the Postmaster General
shin. it was said today, but in high
Republican circles the expectation
prevails that the job will go to
Senator Harry S. New of Indiana.
q warm, personal friend and old
colleague of the Presidents in the
Senate. Senator New will retire
from the Senate at the expiration
Of the present session.
Another candidate understood to be
under consideration is Albert ID.
Lasker, present chairman of the
United States Shipping Board. Lasker
has informed President Harding that
he will retire from the Shipping
Board on March 4, irrespective OF
what happens to the ship. subsidy
bill, now facing an uncertain fate In
the dying Congress-
It is likely that March 4, which
marks the death of the Sixty-seventh
Congress and the halfway post in
President Harding's first term, will
also see a number of other changes
In the high personnel of the Govern
ment, although it is denied that CaDi-
net shifts other than those involving
the Interior Department and the
Postoffice are in order. These
changes, it is understood, will be an
nounced by the White House just
prior to President Harding's depart
ure for Florida on March 5.
Acceptable to Porto Ricans.
Lasker's retirement. from the Ship
ping Board will create a vacancy
there WHICH probably will be filled by
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey, it was reported today.
Senator Frelinghuysen was among
those Republicans defeated in No
Vember.
March will see the retirement
of E. Mont Reilly, of Kansas City,
as Governor of Porto Rico, and of
Col. Charles R. Forbes as Direc.
tor of the Veterans Bureau. Gen
Clarence Edwards, storm center of
a number of. army rows, will be
sent to Porto Rico to replace Reilly,
and Col. Thomas w. Miller will
succeed Forbes as head of the Gov
ernment's veteran activities, it was
learned today.
General Edwards, who has had
considerable experience as a colonial
administrator. is understood to be
acceptable to the Porto Ricans who
have conducted an unceasing drive
to GUST Governor Reilly.

worth fifteen million dollars. DR.. John

been invested at six per cent and the
interest compounded, the Tut-ankh-

sum expressed by the figures $1l,2 SS,
followed by eighty-four naughts. The
dictionary makers haven't got around
to giving name to this much money.
Another Baltimore mathematician says
that DR.. Musselman is all wrong, that
the sum would be $500, followed by
