In one of the towns of the Pacific
Coast a distinct earthquake shock
was felt recently, and when the
municipal building rocked percep-
tibly the city fathers, then in SEES
sion, left without bothering with
the usual formulas.
The clerk, a man of rules and
regulations, was hard put to it to
g-ve his minutes the proper official
tone. Finally he evolved this mas
rerpiece:
'On motion of the city hall the
council adjourned"
Settled.
Two fussy travelling salesladies
were riding in opposite seats in the
train. One thought the car was
too hot, the other said it was too
cold.
Just then a dusky porter came
through.
Porter" commanded the first
lady, 81 wish you'd open that win
dow. I'm nearly smothered."
Don't you do it," snapped the
other. IF you do I'll freeze to
DEATH
The porter scratched his head
What you s'pose All should do
in case lahk dat?" he asked a
portly looking travelling man, two
seats to the rear, trying to enjoy
little reading.
"Open it while and freeze one;
then shut it and smother the
other"

credit to a county that stands above

as good a show in winning the places

law
A distinct reaction in Oregon
agains the compulsory measure upon
public schools is reported by Catho-
lies Bills looking to the taxation of

Harding Dies at
San Francisco
Death Came to Chief Executive While
Conversing With FamiIy-Due
to ApopIexy.

President Harding died instantly
and without warning last Thursday
night at 7:30 o'clock Death came to
the chief executive while conversing
with members of his family and, ac-
cording to an official statement is-
sued by physicians, was apparently
due to some brain evolvment, prob
ably apoplexy.
The end came so suddenly that
members of the official party could
not be called. 1t came after day
which had been described by Brig
adler General Sawyer, the president s
physician, as the most satisfactory
day the president had had since his
illness began. The physicians in
their formal announcement of the
end said that during the day he had
been free from discomfort and there
was every justification for anticipat-
ing prompt recovery"
The first indication that change
had occurred in the condition of Mr..
Harding came shortly after seven
o'clock when Mrs. Harding person
ally opened the door of the sick room
and called to those in the corridors
to "find DIR. Boone and others quick"
At that time Mrs. Harding was un-
derstood to have been reading to the
president sitting at his bedside with
the evening papers and messages OF
sympathy which had been received
during the day.
DR.. Sawyer was alone in the presi-
.aJ orf,,, ~ oil q
when the climax came. He was first
called by Mrs. Harding who then
rushed to the door leading into the
hotel corridors and commanded an
immediate search for the other ply
sicians.
The death of the nations chief exc
cutive was announced in these words:
"The president died instantaneous
ly and without warning and while
conversing with members of his fam
lily at 7:30 p. m.
Death, was apparently due to some
brain evolvement, probably "a poplexy.
During the day he had been free
from discomfort, and there was every
justification for anticipating prompt
recovery"
The story Of the presidents tragic
end was told officially in this way:
"The president died at 7:30 p. m.
Mrs. Harding and the two nurses,
Miss Ruth Powderly and Miss Sue
Dauser were in the room at the time
Mrs. Harding was reading to the pres
ident when utterly without warning,
he collapsed, and all recognized that
the end had come. A stroke of
apoplexy was the cause of his death"
Through the death of President
Harding, Vice President Coolidge
assumes the role of President for
the next two years.

at the Fox studio, during a lull in
the shooting scenes for Brass Com
mandments," which comes to the
Princess Theatre next Sunday eve
ming for a one night run.
One of the extras was putting away
at something that aroused Director
Lynn Reynolds suspicious. What's
that?' asked Mr.. Reynolds. "a five
cent cigar" answered the extra. And
then Mr.. Reynolds quoted the former.
That led then to discussion of
what this country did need most.
Shirley Mason, drifting over to join
in the talk, thought a woman Presi-
dent was the country's direst want.
Other suggestions ranging from old
fashioned pumpkin pie to abolition of
movie censors were offered.
And then William Farnum settled
the problem once and for all. What
this country needs said the famous
star, "is toupees for bald-headed
