great deal of attention to Miller's telegrams, he added. because they were ''gossipy" and contained little real information.
 Chairman Morris read a telegram sent by I.iebold to Miller asking Miller to send more information by telegram and adding that an interview would be arranged with 4iebod at his Dear bord home. He also read the tele- gram sent by Miller quoting Presi- dent Coolidge as saying he was try ing to deliver Muscle Shoals" to Ford.
 The telegram from Miller offering more information to be obtained at the White House correspondents con ference also was read and Liebold said he had received it. Miller, he said came to Dearborn on his own account and he did not know whether he had an interview with Ford at .hat time.
 Iiebold read a letter dated Noyem- ber 20, 1923. from Miller saying that if he represented newspapers here he would have access to sources of infor- nation and offering his services to the Dearborn Independent at $500 a month. He offered to keep I.iebold informed under this arrangement.
 Miller said in the letter had never represented himself as a representa- tive of Ford but only of the Independ- ent.
 Don't you know that on December 20, 1928, Mr. Ford had a telegram

 Major Gen. c. C. Williams. chief of army ordnance, also was asked to appear today prepared to testify on the merits of the Hooker-White-At- terbury proposal to lease Muscle Shoals.

 ''I don't know. l can't recall now" Liebold said.
 The witness said there was no evil dence that he had ever acted on any other letter to Miller which said no arrangement could be made with a contributor except on the basis of manuscripts. and on the basis of ar ticles used. he had been paid liberally. Nothing had been paid Miller he said, except for his work for the In- dependent. Miller, he insisted, paid his own expenses for the trip to Dearborn.

COOLIDGE WANTS
 BUTLER CHAIRMAN
Wants Mass. Man to Head the
 National Committee

Washington, May ?. President Coolidge announced last night that he would recommend to the incoming re- publican national committee the name of William M. Butler. of Massachu- sets, for chairman. This was after the president had conferred with John T. Adams. national chairman. who advised Mir. Coolidge that he did not wish to continue as chairman aft CT the convention at Cleveland.
 The White House gave out the fol- lowing statement by the president:
 After conferences with Chairman Adams, who has indicated to me that after the organization of the incom- does not wish to continue as chair man, have decided to present to the new committee for their consideration for the chairmanship the name of William M. Butler, who has man. aged the primary campaign"
 Wadsworth To Preside
 While the new national committee will select the chairman. it is fully recognized that 1t will choose, whom ever the prpsident, as the nominee of his party in this campaign, recom- mends. Mir. Butler, who is national committeeman from Massachusetts. is known to members of the national committee and is of high standing among them. Hence, his election will undoubtedly have their fullest ap- proyal. As the national chairman, MT. Butler will, of course, manage the prediction campaign. AS the man. ager of tho primary campaign of the president he has demonstrated that he is a politician of skill and capacity.
 Unofficial information also disclos- ed that Senator James w. Wadsworth, of New York, would be the permanent chairman of the national convention and that his selection will soon be an- nounced. It follows close on the heels of the selection of Representative Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, as tenn porary chairman.
 Selection has not been made. of the vce-presidential nomination nor of man to nominate President Coolidge in the convention. Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, is favored in ad- ministration circles to make the nom mating speech.

Reports That Ulster Government is
 Marshalling Its Forces is Branded As False.
 Belfast, May 2.-Rcports that the Ulster government had ordered one ot the border sections of its special con- stabuary to prepare for mobilization have no foundation in fact it is de- clared in competent quarters here.
 The reports, it appears, arose from the circumstance that this special branch of the Ulster constabulary has an annual training period, like the British territorials, which now is ap- preaching. There is no significance apart from this, it is insisted, and nothing pertaining to the border sit uation has anything to do with it.
 In only one event would the special constables be mobllized, it is stated, and that Is in case of a border in- vasion which has not occurred.
 London, May 2.--The northern Irish government has ordered a section of its special constabulary on the Ar magh border adjoining Louth one of the Free State counties, to prepare for mobilization. according to a re- port sent by the Belfast correspon- dent of the Westminster Gazette but which is not confirmed elsewhere.
 This section of the constabulary, &C., cording to the correspondent has had complete military training and is equipped with all the modern weap- ons of war. The preparations, he adds, have created stir in Armagh.

Little Stories For Bedtime
Billy Mink's Mistake rETER RARBITT had been
(By THORNTON BURGEss)

TETER RABBITT had been quitt
 right about Billy Mink. Billy
 was hungry. He was especially hungry for a dinner of tender young birds. He had eaten fish until he felt as if he would turn into fish himself. He was tired of fish and wanted change. I guess you know how he felt. No matter how fond of a thing we may be there comes time when our stomachs grow tired of it. This is true even of candy and ice cream when we have too much of them. And it was just that way with Billy Mink.
 When he had started out that morn ing Billy had had no particular plan. He just trusted to luck to find some- thing besides fish to eat. He had stopped at the Smiling Pool to pass the time of day with Jerry Muskrat, and it was while he was there that he had noticed Rattles the Kingfisher flying down the Laughing Brook with a tiny fish in his bill. It wasn't long be- fore he was back watching for another fish, and when he caught it he took it off down the Laughing Brook. This was enough for Billy Mink. He knew right away what it meant. It meant that somewhere down the Laughing Brook. was a home with babies in it. The very thought made Bills mouth water. He cut his visit with Jerry Muskrat short and started down the Laughing Brook.
 Now, unlike Peter Rabbit, Billy knew just what to look for. and where to look for it. He knew all about the ways of Rattles the Kingfisher. and just what kind of place he would choose for a home, and he didn't have a doubt of being able to find it. But he took precious good care not to let Rattles the Kingfisher catch glimpse of him. He knew that if Rattles once saw him going down the Laughing Brook he would mount guard over his home, and Billy was of no mind to face that sharp, spear-like bill which Rattles possesses. So whenever he heard Rattles coming Billy hid until the way was clear once more.
 You remember that Billy was hid ing right near the sanbank where Rat ties had made his home at the time Peter Rabbit, watching from the op- posite shore, discovered it. All that the little hole close up under the edge of the high hand bank where the grasses hung over and partly hid it. He saw Rattles go in and come out again. And when he swan across to the foot of the bank and tested the air with his keen little nose he smelled young kingfishers. Before he had made up his mind just what to do he heard Rattles returning and once more hid. The instant Rattles departed again for
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-06

another tiny fish for those hungry babies, Billy scrambled up the bank. There was no time to lose. He wanted to get those babies and get away be. fore Rattles should return. He had nothing to fear from the little king fishers, they would be quite helpless and harmless.
 So Billy scrambled up the sandbank and in the hole. The instant he got his head inside he forgot everything but the feast he would have for his nose told him that way back at the end of the long hall was a nestful O. young birds. If he had stopped to smell lit tie more carefully that nose of his might have told him something else. But he was so eager that he didn't stop to find out all that his nose might have
 Please, do! shebegged, clinging to mistake-a very great mistake. If he had needed his nose he would have re- membered something which he had quite forgotten in his greedy haste. He would have remembered that he hadn't seen any thing of Mrs. Rattles and Mrs. Rattles carries quite as big and sharp bill as does Rattles himself.
 But Billy had forgotten all about this and in his greedy haste pushed on along that narrow hall where there wasn't room to turn around. It was a mistake, very great mistake. Half way to the nest at the end of that long hall Billy found it out.

the open front, and the case closed by doors. If the open case is to be treated it must be so placed that 1t is fixed as a tapestry or hanging in your room, by the architectural frame that holds 1t in place. But 1t is not movable like tapestry. The frame therefore must be designed as a part of the room in such place that it is right for the room as while, and the open front---your tapestry of books--is not necessarily fix ed this position. This, of course, means that you cannot do everything with the open front bookcase that you can with the tapestry merely because it is like a tapestry. It must rather be considered as an opening and as such is subject to the various laws governing the posi- tion of openings.

Science

In the entire question OF modern
food supply one of the biggest prob
lens has been keeping the right bal
ance between picking perishable fruits
and vegetables green, on the one hand,
or having them rot in handling on the
other. Even the more stable fruits,
such as oranges, are affected by this
uncertainty, and some orange growers
are testing out method of facilitating
distribution.
Popular opinion regards oranges
green in color as unfit for use. But
such oranges may be merely early
picked, and entirely suitable for eat
ing. 1t has been discovered that the
fumes of gasoline or kerosene give
green oranges the characteristic gol-
den tint-a process which, IL left to
the suns rays, may require a month
to a month and a half. This process
facilitates quicker marketing at higher
prices. Sometimes, even leaving frost
danger aside, the fruit deteriorates
when left on the trees. There seems,
therefore, some basis for the coinci-
dence that oil wells are being drilled In
many California citrus fruit groves.
