Originally Mr. Harding planned a

over several days. So,
Mr.. Coolidge Win. or course, speak
at both the citizenship conference and
the governors meeting.
He will have an opportunity to adj
vocate law enforcement in as general
or as specific terms as he likes.
So far as the drys are concerned, he
will be on trial.
Will he go as far in the advocacy
Of prohibition as does Governor Pin
chot?
This will be his opportunity to re-
move all doubts, for be il known Mr..
Coolidge was at one time an attorney
for brewing interests in Northampton.
Mass. in the days when the local
option fight was at its height.
Since that time his veto message of
a beer bill passed by the Mnssachus-
cts Legislature won the commentator
of the Anti-Saloon League.
Mr.. Coolidge comes from state in
which the wet and dry question is not
all one-sided and there are those in
his own following who wish he would
simply come out for law enforcement
and let it go at that.
They do not want him to become
committed TO n program Of no modifi-
cation of the existing situation by
Congress- or the states.
With most questions Mr.. Coolidge
can wait till the December session Of
Congress before he makes known his
views on pending issues.
On prohibition he will have TO de-
clare himself within the next ten
days.

FavorIte House Plants.

American housewives have great
liking for rubber plants, which are
grown much more commonly in the
United States than In Great Britain.
No doubt one reason for the favor in
which they are held is their ease Of
cultivation and their immunity to dust
and a dry atmosphere. The rubber
plant requires considerable water, al
though too much can easily be applied.
Washing off the leaves with tepid
water helps to keep them bright, while
fish oil soap may be used If insects
appear, being applied with a soft
sponge. Housewives sometimes rub
oil on the leaves with the idea of max
ing them glossy, but this Is very
unwise proceeding. II dark brown
spot appears on leaf, change the To-
cation Of the plant. 1t is due very
likely to a flaw in the glass which con-
centrates the rays of the sun In one
spot.

oFFENsE THAT COST HAND
Assault in Court Regarded as Serious
Matter in England During the
Earlier Reigns.

In earlier times, and certainly
throughout the reigns of the Tudors
and the Stuarts, and even later, the
man who struck a blow or threw a
missile in court invariably had his
right hand cut off, in addition to other
penalties, the Manchester Guardian
says. When prisoner who had just
been sentenced to death by Chief JUS
tice Richardson at Salisbury ass1zes
threw a brickbat at that judge, an
Indictment was Immediately prepared,
and the culprit's right hand was then
and there cut off and nailed to the
gibbet on which he was Immediately
afterward hung. Even so late as 1893
the earl of Thanet was fined 5000 and
given one years Imprisonment for in
stigating riot In court. In addition
to this he was bound over In a sum of
$4,000 to be Of good behavior for
seven years.
In 1877 Cosgrave, an American
threw an egg at Vice Chancellor
Malins, and he was Immediately COM
mitted to prison and did not receive
his discharge until placed on board a
ship sailing for New York.

"HAM AND" PIES, CAKES AND
CHICKEN DINNERS

Every farm yard hennery is or
should be interested in the.great poul-
try show at the state fair to be held
the last week in September, this year,
1923.
Every eater of custard pie, every
palate that longs for ice cream, every
devour@ of ham and" every pie
nend and pudding lover, each and
every chicken dinner pirate, every eye
that delights in pretty plumage, every
ear that delights in cackles and
crows, will be entertained and receive
much Of pleasure and education by
visiting the big poultry and pet stock
pavilion at the state fair.
Very few fairs in America are pro-
vided with such splendid poultry
pavilion as that on the Colorado state
fair grounds; it's new, commodiOus,
comfortable, well lighted and watered,
clean and modern in each and every
particular.
Prospects are that the poultry show,
Including all kinds of domestic fowls,
will be very much larger and better
than ever before this year, as there
has been a great revival in the indus
try. largely on account of the educa
tional campaigns that have been car
ried on by the poultry experts Of the
state Agricultural College during the
past year.

This instrument must be dated, the
amount written in full in the body,
and signed the same as the deposit
tors signature appears on the bank

vided It is not dated ahead. II dated
ahead It becomes a promise to pay,
the same as a note or acceptance. pay
able on some future date. United
States revenue stamps are required

. cents per hundred dollars, or frac-
tion thereof.
In case a check carries two differ
ent figures, that is $500 in the figures

NATURAL AND OTHERWISE
BY T. T. Maxey
OUR FIRST NATIONAL PARK

The act of congress in 1923 which set
aside the Hot Springs of Arkansas and
four sections of adjoining land "for
the future disposal of the United
States, not to be entered, located or
appropriated for any other purpose
whatever" forged into existence the
first link in our present chain of W orld-
excelling national parks.
This act performed double purpose
in that It also served to perpetuate
and preserve these now celebrated
springs from commercial monopoly or
exploitation.
The Hot Springs National park res
ervation contains upwards of 900 acres
and is located in the city of Hot
Springs, which is not far from the cen
ter Of the state. The altitude Of the
city is about 900 feet. while that of
the surrounding hills is about 1,2OO
feet above sea level.
There are 40 hot springs In this
group. All of them flow out into a
narrow valley, from the base Of what
There are also quite number Of cold
springs here, and their waters are used
both for drinking and In the treatment
Of those who visit this region with the
hope of leaving their Ills behind them
when they return home. The combined
flow Of all of these springs reaches the
enormous volume Of more than 750 600
gallons every "a hours.
Tradition would have US believe
that the Indians were familiar with
the medicinal value of these springs
In the days before the coming Of the
Spanish explorers, some 400 years
ago; that the several tribes fought
bitterly at various times for their con-
troll, in the belief that the Great
Spirit" was ever present In them.
The temperature of the waters from
these various springs varies from 1O2
to 147 degrees-the average ranging
from 1876 to 147 degrees. These waters
contain some twenty different kinds
of mineral matter and are radio-ac-
tive.
These hot springs offer relief from
many Of the ailments which beset the
human race. There are II large pay
bathhouses under governmental super
vision. The rates for baths and serv-
ice are fixed by the director of national
park service at Washington. The park
is administered by resident superin.

Maps Long Used In Peru.

Mapmaking goes back to the earliest
known time. 1t was branch Of the
early picture writing practiced by saw
ages. In Tahiti, for instance. the ma
tives were able to make fairly good
maps for the guidance Of explorers.
Maps with raised lines were in use in
Peru before the Conquest.
The oldest known map is that Of the
Ethiopian gold mines. dating from the
time Of Sethos l. the father Of Rameses

and his bronze tablet, on which were
inscribed the circuit Of the earth and
all the seas and rivers then known.

dress is most appropriate for city
wear during the summer months.
Nothing could be prettier than
the white pleatcd flannel skirt
worn with colored flannel jackets
which tie with sash bow at the
sides. For evening wear frock of
crisp organdy with slender bodice
and full, flaring skirt, trimmed in

over the other. An evening cape OF
heavy crap silk crepe with collar of

afternoon occasions also.
The Resort Co.;
The resort girl needs primarily
sports clothes. If she chooses a
spring suit of worsted or camel e
hair cut on sports lines, she can
wear the jacket with white skirts
later on. Many Of the best dressed
women at Palm Beach this season
prefer mannish sport jackets to
those of high colors. Jacquettes of
figured cretonne, colored velveteen
and flannel offer ~ diversity of
sports effect to be worn with the
pleated flannel skirts Of white or
gray.
For morning wear frocks Of ging-
ham, printed India linen and figur-
ed cretOnne are in good taste and
are quite inexpensive. The typical
afternoon gowns for resort wear
are those Of pleated cotton or silk
crepe with pocket monograms.
Long white or gray cloth capes
are almost Indispensable to the
woman who spends her summer at
resorts. The sports type of girl
may prefer one of plaid material
or tan camel's hair.
Bathing suits Of the one piece va
riety are not being used at Palm
Beach to any great extent this year.
Printed materials made into little
dress effects are more popular.
