"PORK" PLANS CALL
FOR S5OO,OOO,O
CONGRESS MAY BE ASKED

WASHINGTON, d. C.-President

nittee to frame and favorably report

Moderate Bill Favored.
House leaders know that President
Coolidge and Secretary Mellon favor
a moderate building program at places
where construction OF a federal build
ing is necessary or will actually mean
saving because OF the elimination of
high rents. But moderate bill will
not be reported out of the house pub
lie buildings and grounds committee,
according to Chairman Langley. Al
ready there are accumulated in the

viding for the construction OF nearly

RUNAWAY MiCROBE SPREAD
MYSTERIOUS new DISEASE
"TuIaraemia" Germ Gets Loose
During Experiments and In
fects Laboratory Workers.

A new mystery microbe, called Ba-
cillus Tularense, got out of hand at
the Lister institute in London recent
ly and infected two of the occupants
with 'tuIaraemia," the first known
British cases.
AT the Lister institute is the 'Na-
tional Collection of Type Cultures" as
it is officially called. The work of the
curator and his assistants is to re-
ceive disease cultures from all over
the world, to maintain the strains and
to exchange or supply cultures to hos
pitfalls and workers on bacteria.
Lately an attempt was made to get
a culture of an organism that has been
isolated in a disease called lula
raemia" 1t is contracted by human
beings from animals. no specific is
known for it. There have been some
deaths, but it is scarcely ever fatal.
1t was found impossible to keep a
culture in the test tube, and 1t had to
be studied from an infected animal.
In some way the m1crobe wandered,
with the result that the curator and
his assistant were infected.
Now they have discovered that in
America the organism is SO infectious
that laboratory workers there almost
invariably catch it.

LADIES MUST LIVE, OF COURSE

1t is conceded even by woman
haters that ladies must live, be they
rich or poor, or ambitious or other
wise. How some of them manage to
do so is adequately shown by the
late George Loane Tucker in his
screen masterpiece, Ladies' Must
Live" which will be shown at the
Kenworthy theatre next Wednesday
and Thursday. In this delightful and
appealing story, Betty Compson, now
a Paramount star and the featured
player in the picture named, has the
role of a young girl who has been
reared by her rich brother-in-law and
whose penniless father plans to marry
her off to some rich man in order
that his income, derived from his SON
in-law, may be increased. But there
is another woman who has similar
plans to obtain an easy living and
the two clash with interesting results.
Then there is waif whose love proves
q tragedy, and other characters all
of whom are component parts of
most consistent story of modern life.
The women in the cast include besides
Miss Corpson. Leatrice JOY Lucille
Hutton, Lule Warrerfon. and Marcia
Manon, all players of ability and re-
putation.
" Ladies Must Live " is picturiza-
ton of story by Alice Duer Miller
which was published in the Saturday
Evening Post. 1t is a dramatic and
appealing picture.

These are suggestive figures and

1t is evident that politics played
p. Davis. 1t is said by those who
know that his ability and his eager
ness to give to his job the best that
was in him has never been questioned,
but that diplomacy had no place in
his makeup; that he was simply the
engineer and technical man and that
he never went out of his way to be
pleasant to anyone, no matter how
great their political power, and could,
on occasion, express himself in a
manner more likely to arouse ire
than to promote harmony. 1t may
be assumed that he was not purposely
disagreeable, but was rather a man
intent on his job, and forgetting that
the human element enters into every
job. The result was that he made
some enemies, and that they finally
saw to it that he was eliminated. They
were, it may be assumed, men who
and their personal likes and dislikes,
than they were in the reclamation
service. The result is considerable
indignation in the districts such as
the southern part of Idaho, where the
reclamation service functions.
There is no intent to discredit d. |
w. Davis, Idaho's former governor, !
who now becomes the head of the |
reclamation service. He is a man of |
ability and man of good intentions,
but he is not the trained man, in
reclamation work that Arthur P.

FIRED FOR FAITHFULNESS

FIRED FOR FAITHFULNESS
just about 40 years ago, a middle
western lad of % years gave himself
to a career of service in the United
States department of the interior.
Yesterday the same man, now a
grizzled veteran of public service,
whose reputation as hydrogra phic
and irrigation engineer has become
second only in the world to that of
Sir William Wilcox, found his office
abolished and himself turned out.
And he said to reporters:
!. l was only informed that the
secretary thought it best the Of
flee should be under a business
man rather than an engineer, so
was summarily dismissed.
The man was Arthur Powell Davis,
director of reclamation. To his care
full scientific methods and his I'M
trucking independence of influence"
Idaho like the rest of the irrigation
west, owes an incaIculable debt.
We have looked up some facts
about the career of this man whose
conception of service took no account
of salary since he could at any time
have earned three or four times what
the government paid. Here they are:

that the books were printed because
