PAY CHECKS GO TO WIVES.

New Orleans to Send Them to Cit,
 Employees Homes Hereafter.
 New Orleans. March 3o.--Marriet men employed by the city were thrown into consternation yesterday by the announcement from Commis' sioner Murphy that hereafter theil pay checks would be mailed to theii home addresses instead of being handed to them in person.
 Arguments and objections counted for naught.
 Every city employe from the mayor down is going to get his check at home," Commissioner Murphy said. Every member of the commission council is in the same fix as the street laborer in this move. The money be- longs in the home and am going to do my best to put it there. and then If some of the wives cannot keep it there, that is their fault"
 One of the men affected tried to substitute the address of a police sta- tion for his residence address; others hurried to the post office and rented boxes, but when the payrolls were made up the commissioner checked with the old lists.

GIRLS LETTERS COMPEL BACHELOR HEAD TO QUIT
Deputy Mayor of Atlantic City. Who Organized Club, Surrenders
 To Bombartimcnt f

Atlantic City. March so.--Armand c. Nichols, deputy mayor of Atlantic City, who was selected president of the Bachelors club of Atlantic City, organized week ago, rendered his resignation at a meeting of the club last night ''Too busy with politics." was the reason he gave for withdraw ing from the club.
 The real reason, however. was the flood of letters he received as head of the Bachelors club from girls of At lantic City and surrounding communi- ties. What if every eligible man feels the same way as you do about it?" one letter asked. Most of the letters assailed the bachelors organi- zation.
 Whether the fact that women now play large part in politics induced Nichols to step out, or whether he had a change of heart for another cause could not be learned. From the standpoint of eligibility, Nichols ranks high.

THEY'RE AFTER THEM

The suit filed by Attorney General Daugh- crty against four of the builders of canton ments during the war for something like $20,- 100000, which they are alleged to have stolen from the Government, is but the beginning of series of suits which will affect practically every cantorment contractor in the country and which will involve something like $75,00O
 OOO The delay occasioned in bringing these suits is due to the fact that the Department of
 Justice has been put to an immense amount of trouble in securing the evidence, this un- earthng of outrageous scandals still going laboriousIy on. After the Harding Admins tration had been elected, the Government of ficers culpable of connivance with the thefts still had plenty of time to clear their skirts as best they could This they did by delber ately destroying Government records and papers in immense quantities. Thus when the new Administration actually took office, it found itself up against an exceedingly diff ficult proposition. It had to secure its evi- dence from outside sources and this IS what has occasioncd all the delay. But it is now being brought to light and it is highly prob able that the civil suits will be followed by criminal prosecutions It was notorious when the cantOnments were erected that the whole thing was fairly rotten with graft but the public had little idea of the extent to which the stealings really went It simply knew that under President Wilson's beautiful Cost Plus" system the country was robbed of mil
 lions and it knew also of the prodigal waste. bat it had no real conception of the manner
 in which many millions were simply stolen with no pretense whatever of service rendered. off onlloofnI from the salo of Liberty Bonds and then threw the doors of the Federal Treasury open to horde of Administration favorites with an in vtation to the boys to walk in and help them selves. And the boys certainly did, Just how tie Government officials profited, it at al by this scandalous procedure remains to be de- veloped, and the progress of the trials will be followed with absorbed interest. For un- doubtedly one of the greatest political scandals in all history is about to be uncovered.

RADIO HELPS FISHERMEN TO
 FIND HERRING

GOTHENBERG, Jan. 4-The radio phone is becoming a serious menace to the safety of the herring off the Swedish Coast The fishermen out at sea soon will be told from the Gothen- burg radio central the exact location of the herring schools. This unique service, which will doubtless mean a considerable increase in the catches of herring, is the newest commercial use to which the wireless telephone will be put in Sweden, according to plans just completed.
 While merchant vessels have for some time been required by law to carry wireless equipment, the smaller fishing vessels have hitherto operated without systems of communication with the land. They will now re- ceive weather reports, forecasts, and news, as we'll as the radio tips regard ing the appearance of the herring.
 Plans are on foot to distribute news in Sweden by radio telephone. Elk periments are being made from Stock holm as center.

QUICK MIRACLES

The real jokes in so-called humor based on the length of time woman spends in dressing and at the dressing table are its authors. And their close seconds are those who take this humor at face value and yield the expected laugh.
 This is due either to ignorance or injustice, or both To those who realize the task of dress and makeup in it's full magnitude, the wonder is not that woman spends so mnch time in preparing for conquest or even for less exciting engagements she believes in preparedness at all times-but that she spends so little.
 Consider the finished product that presents itself, gaze on the vision that emerges from the dressing room, then marvel that she has done so much so quickly.

MAIL LOSSES

The Post Office records show that more than 16,000O00 letters and over 60O,00O pack ages went to the dead letter department last year as a result of careless addressing. This is impressive evidence of the need for greater caution in mailing The estimated loss to the public which aggregates nearly half million dollars, only partially represents the loss sus- tained An undeivered letter or package may mean heart ache, tragedy or bankruptcy.
 Those who take the pains to write letter or to mail package can profitablv exercise nec- cssary care in addressing. Failure to do so is inexcusable negligence.

EXPENSES ARE BEING REDUCED
 THIS REPUBLIC

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Jan. A. The budget of the republic of Czech oslovakia for 1923 shows a deficit of about 560,OO000O Czech crowns, which is 37O,OOO,O 900 crowns less than the deficit for 1922, and 17O,000O00 crowns less than that for 1921
 There are two interesting features in the document One is the setting forth of the salaries of public off cials separate from all other items, so the total can readily be seen, and the other is that next year the bud get is to be submitted to Parliament in the form of commercial balance sheet. This latter feature will make it possible for Parliament to deter mine whether the specialization of industries is more productive and profitable than the use of private capital.
 Public expenditure in Czechoslo- vakia reached it's maximum last year. The cost of running the government has increased steadily since the founding of the republic four years ago. But 1923 promises a consider able reduction which ultimately may be greater than is hoped for now. The 1923 figures show expenses of 1s,370 100000 Czech crowns, and re- venue of 18,810O00,000.

"IITTLE MAUD" ADAMS
 STARTED CAREER FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O-After the announcement in New York that Maud Adams has retired permanently from the stage, old-time San Fran cisco theater patrons recalled the first time that the name of Maud Adams was ever printed on a theat- rical program was at the old Alcazar Theater here in 1876, when she was billed as Little Maud Adams The child actress appeared with Joe Murphy, Irish actor, in Out to Nurse"
 However, she had made stage appearance four years prior to that date when she was carried on the stage to her mother when the lat ter was playing in Salt Lake City in "The Lost Child" Miss Adams was then nine months old.
 When appearing with Joe Murphy, Little Maud Adams" was required to carry a pitcher of water upon the stage, and hand it to an actor, saying: Here's your beer" The child, according to Green Room tra- dition, asked the stage manager why real beer wasn't used instead of water, and in order to carry out the spirit of realism, this change was made.
 Later Maud Adams appeared at the old Baldwin Theater here in "Chums," play staged by David Belasco, then beginning his climb up the managerial ladder.

NORTH PACIFIC SHIPS WEATHER
 MANS GUIDE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-Ships at night and send wireless reports on at night and sent wireless reports on weather conditions in their paths are the most important aides enlisted in the service of the District Weather Forecaster's office here, which antici- ton, Oregan, California, Idaho and Ne. yada.
 As nine-tenths of all elemental dis. turbances originate and center in the Pacific Ocean, according to G. H. Wilson, chief forecaster, wireless re. port from craft moving in the sell dom travelled north Pacific route are needed to make accurate forecasts When there are no ships moving in the North Pacific, the weather man here must Ego it blind" and make predictions without information from his most important sector from the weather viewpoint.
 Ships in the Pacific Ocean report by wireless to the naval radio station on Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco Bay at o'clock each morning and night. These reports are relayed by land lines to the weather bureau of- flee here, which is located on the top of a downtown skyscraper. These reports give the position of the boat, height of the barometer at the hour' temperature, direction and force or the wind. The data is entered on a large map indicating the longitude ana latitude of the boat.
 Before making daily forecast MT Wilson takes into consideration all lh- formation received from observers III five states and the scientific deduc- lions which twelve employees make Ill the office from the reports avallaole. However, there are exceptions to thls rule
 Recently no ships reported from the north Pacific for more than twenty four hours. Fair weather was report ed in every land point in the dlstricI and there was no elemental indication of any disturbance. Small balloons re- leased from the roof of the bureau lh- dicated a high southwesterly Wlnd. Disregarding every other indication or continued fair weather, MT. Wlllsoh nredicted rain for the next twenty four hours. That night, eight hours later, a storm slipped in from the Fa- cific Ocean and four hours later drenched four western states anu moved towards the Atlantic coast.
 Storms which develop in the hor'h pacific Ocean usually extend across the United States, according to tne records of the Weather Bureau II thev are not dissipated in the ROCKY Mountain plateau region.
 "On1v one who has had much prac' tical experience in weather forecast ing can foretell how far rains or hlgh winds will extend" said MT. Wilson who has been in the weather ser'lce for forty-three years and alternates monthly in making day predlctlonS with Elyira A. Bales, who has been lt the service for more than forty years The value of this experience is seer in reports from Washington, whlcf show that more than ninety per ecu of the forecasts made by the distrlc weather bureau here in a year art accurate.

BY Ray G.. MARSHALL
u. P. Staff Correspondent.

PEkIN, July 16, 1870 p. m.-Dis-
covering plot against his life, the
emperor of China fled over the
walls of the Forbidden City dur
ing the night and took refuge to-
day in his father s former home, a
mile away.
Members of the imperial house,
hold reported to the republican poi
ice that the emperor was missing
early this morning and after o
search he was located.
The emperor declared that be-
cause of his punishment of some of
the palace eunuchs held responsible
for thefts during the recent fire,
servants of the palace planned to
kill him. The plot was to murder
the emperor, set fire once more to
the Forbidden City and loot the
imperial buildings, he said.
Acting upon the emperor S re-
quest, the republican police drove
more than 100 eunuch from the
Forbidden City without permitting
them to take their belongings. Other
police searched the palaces, hoping
TO find hidden treasure ami further
evidences of the alleged plot.
The emperor is remaining under
protection of the republican police.
