SILENT ON
Secretary, However, Believed
to Have Acted Before Co.
ing on Holiday.

Resignation of Louis A Hill as
director Of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, is expected mo-
mentarily at the office of Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon
today.
Mellon Still Silent.
Although not officially announced
that Secretary Mellon had asked
for the resignation, it was said in
informed circles that some such
communication had passed between
the Treasury head and the bureau
chief.
Secretary Mellon is to leave to.
night for his Pittsburgh home,
where he will spend the holidays
and it is understood he wishes tc
be in possession of the resignation
fore b gees.
No Successor i'm Sight.
The paucity of official informa
ton which has prevailed through
the bureau mix-up continued today
Secretary Mellon and Director Hill
alike had nothing to say.
Undersecretary Garrard B. Win
ston, in direct supervision of the
bureau, left Washington for Chi
cago last night. This means that
any communication Hill may make
will be direct to the Secretary's
office.
AS yet, Secretary Mellon has given
no indication as to Hills successor.
It was thought probable today
that he would name one Of the
officials ousted from the bureau in
March, 1922.

HE WAS TOO BRIGHT.

Mulcahy left the fort one day to see
q football game,
and when the roll was called he
failed to answer to his name.
The Army beat the Navy and he got
full of booze
He landed In the quarters without
hat coat or shoes.
They sent him down to sober up and
rest In peace and quiet
On pick and shovel exercise and
bread and water diet.
It's very hard" Mulcahy thought,
Ito labor in q fort.

not to shovel dirt"
His buddy" Con Kinaly, super

And meant to make it easy for Null

"Can you dhrive a cart?" he asked
him, and Mulcshy, to be bright,
Said, 81 cannot dhrive q cart, but /
can dhrive a horse all right"

and he said It sharp and quick,
AS long as you're SO smart you'll
dhrive q shovel and a pick"

IT'S BITTER EITHER WAY,
A poet sang: Its sweet to love,
But oh! how bitter
TO love a girl
And then not git 'er."
But 1t might be a demned sight worse
If after you did git 'er,
You found her anything but sweet,
And altogether bitter.
