He is trying to think"
How do you know he is trying to

Il know he is trying to think be-
cause he is sucking his pencil"
Does he think he can get ideas out
of it in that wayY
mo. He probably doesn't think
about it at all. 1t is just nasty and
dangerous habit
why is it dangerous habit?'
Because somebody with disease

A boy about nine years old, dressed
in golf suit and stockings, marched
through the lobby Of downtown the
alter Wednesday, referring several
times to a wrist watch, which, al
though quite thin, was about as thick
as his wrist. AS he neared the exits,
several people got in his way and his
efforts to get past were fruitless.
Finally he said In an appealing voice:
"Will you people let me through I've
got a very important appointment with
a girl and don't want to be late. -

Bessarabia means to Rumania much
what Alsace and Lorraine meant to
France, and, with or without alliance,
Rumanians seem satisfied that Great
Britain and France will never permit
an unprovoked attack on Russia.
Rumanias principal concern, it is
explained, IS centered upon the time
when Russia shall have regained in
ternal stability. No misgivings are
felt for the immediate future, the
opinion being that Russia has her
hands full with her internal affairs.

Original Water Heater

The first water heater known dates
back some two thousand years. This
was the "ahenum" Of the Romans, a
crude bronze kettle with handle for
swinging over an open fire. The 'focu-
lus," an apparently later device, was
metal container into which hot
stones were put to heat the water
surrounding them. This seems to have
been the best water heater the early
Romans were able to devise.

TYAyING rebuffed the President to
1 4 this extent, congress was dis
posed to show greater consideration
for some of his views concerning the
tax reduction BILL probably in order
to avoid veto of that measure. The
senate and house cOnferees reached
q complete and unanimous agreement
on a compromise and consented to
abandon the two features to which
Mr.. Coolidge had especially objected
the senate amendments on corporation
tax and full publicity Of tax returns.
The amendment taxing undistributed
earnings of corporations also was elm

surtax is 40 per cent; and the normal

The treasury recommendation for
limitation of deductions for capital
losses to 1914 per cent was restored
to the BILL this is estimated to mean
additional revenue to the extent of
S25o0000O.
The conference report was satlsfac-
tory to the regular Republicans and
Democrats of both houses, SO it was
evident the objections of the dis
gruntled radicals would be of no avail.
Veto of this measure by the President
was not expected by the leaders, de-
spite the prospect Of a huge denclt
due in part to the soldiers bonus.
Senator Smoot said he thought the
enactment of the tax bill would so
stimulate business as possibly to bring
in more than the amount of the deficit
in new revenues after it is in opera
ton for year or two. Representative
Green said that the paper deficit in
the fiscal year 1926 will be wiped out
by the surplus carried from the flscai
year 1924. With respect to the fiscal
year 1925 Mr.. Green believes that
revenues will be greater than estl-
mated by the treasury and that mere
will be marked increase in the fiscal

N ETAILS of the alleged attempt
II by government agents to frame"
Senator Wheeler were given to the
Brookhart committee by w. o. Duck
stein and his wife, the former con-
fidential secretary for Edward B. Nc
Lean and the latter a special agent of
the Department of Justice. AS a re-
suit the committee ordered that
Special Assistant Attorney General
Hiram Todd of New York appear and
testify concerning two men who went
to Washington as his agents and who
are supposed, incidentally, to have
stolen the missing records of CASTOR
B. Means.
In the senate Sterling of South Da-
kota stood firm as the only one OPP
posing the generation of Wheeler
from the charge on which he was in
dicted in Montana. This exoneration
will not relieve Wheeler from the ne
cessity of going to trial, for the pro-
ceedings will not be dismissed.

tigation has resulted in the Indictment

eral other men by a federal grand jury

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Congress Passes Bonus Bill
Over Veto and Tax Bill
Compromise Is Fixed.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

% ONUS for the ex-soldiers-alias adj
D iusted COMPASSIONATE reduc-
ton of taxes to the extent of about
$472, 100000 during the calendar year
1925. The country gets both of these
blessings, according to the fiat of con-
gress, though just how increased ex-
penditure is to be adjusted to de-
creased revenue no expert has yet dis
covered.
On Monday the senate followed the
example of the house by overriding the
Presidents veto of the soldiers bonus
bill and it thus became law. All the
pressure brought by the administration
and the numerous bodies and individ-
uals opposed to the bonus was unavail-
ing. The vote was SO to 26, two more
than the necessary two-thirds, the ma
iority including 80 Republicans, ~
Democrats and 2 Farmer-Laborites
It is estimated that 3.03S.2S3 veter-
ans will be entitled to the insurance
policies provided by the soldier bonus
bill, while 3S9,5S3 will be paid cash of
$50 or less. The average certificate
face value is estimated at $962. The
certificate is payable in full after
twenty years, or before in case of
death. Loans may be obtained on the
policies after two years. che lowest
estimate Of the cost of the bonus is
that annual appropriations aggregat-
ing $2,2SO, 75S,542 will be necessary
over the twenty-year period.
There also will be necessary $6,5OO.-
600 for administrative expenses the
first year. The Department Of War
and other government agencies were
ready and preparations for the issu-
ance of insurance policies and the pay
ment of the cash sums are being
rapidly completed. The first issuance
certificates will be dated January 1,
1925.

ing that it is signed Japan will file
formal protest against the Japanese
exclusion clause, and probably will
ask the Hague court or the League of
Nations to take up the matter. This
is the decision of the japanese privy
council, which holds the measure fla
gravity violates the commercial treaty.

mitted to resign as he undoubtedly
wishes to do. Cyrus Woods, American
ambassador to Tokyo, already has re-
signed and is coming home. His rea-

foreign relations committee to the

the ways and means Of giving effect to
his recommendation for American adj
herence to the permanent court of in

that at the request Of the committee
Senator Pepper drafted and introduced
a resolution proposing that the United
States join the existing World court
on the condition that it be entirely
divorced from the League of Nations.
It also proposes the calling of third

that no actual deficit will develop dur
ing the next two years and that con-
gress then can provide new financing
methods if necessary.
DOLITICALLY both sides will
\ share in the benefits from the
tax reduction, but it is likely the
Democrats will get the bigger portion.
The bonus bill was not a party meas
ure. What will be the effect of the
futile veto on Mr.. Coolidge's political
fortunes is debatable. His message
of disapproval was such well rea-
soned and commonsense document
and so politically courageous that it
probably will deprive him of few
votes, and the bonus issue is removed
from the campaign. The vote-hungry
congressman who insisted on passing
the bill presumably will receive their
reward.

Munsey's Herald Joins

NEW YORK, March ts.-The
shades Of Charles Dana, Horace
Greeley and the eccentric James
Gordon Bennett have been blended
together in another sensational
Munsey newspaper attraction, for
mally announced today. Three great
American newspapers of former
days wove their historic texture into
one dirty sheet when Ogden VI. Reid,
Of the New York Tribune, bought
the New York Herald from Frank
A. Munsey yesterday.
Munsey merged the New York
Press and the Sun Of Charles Dana
fame a few years ago, then bought
the Herald from the James Gordon
Bennett estate, combining them all
in one of the biggest morning news
paper transactions in history,
The Herald will pass out of exist
ence with this mornings issue, and
beginning tomorrow the two news
papers will be published as one

plant. Eventually it will appear as
the New York Herald Tribune.
The purchase, price is reported. to
be about 100000, the sum Muusey
paid for the Herald and Telegram

estate in 1920. With the New York
Herald, Reid acquires also the Paris

Lenroot, Its chairman, and when the
beneficial results of giving away
public oil lands to private interests
are about to be demonstrated bv a
new series Of code kilograms and

and Senator "B. and o." Bruce. of
Maryland, arise. They object to

object to an extension of rural mail

Of butter and eggs from the farms

fear that this will lead to Boil

Senator Harris, Of Georgia. is
sponsor Of bill providing that the
postoffice department shall expert
ment on 30 rural routes scattered
thruout the country on the handling
of small packets Of farm produce to
customers located in these same
rural routes.
King protested that the purpose
Of this measure was to have the gov
eminent go into the business of trans
porting the products of the farm,
and that this would lead inevitably
to the government becoming a COM
mon carrier for all the industries.
1t would mean the Matchmaking of
transportation. He admitted that
there was little chance that such a
service to the farmers would be a
failure since the government policy
had favored taking no profit from
the postal service.
Senator Brookhart wanted to know
whether an excess profit tax on the
takings Of the steel trust and other
monopolics would not be a logical
method of making up any deficit
created by the giving Of cheap gov
eminent transportation to farm
products. He suggested that the rail-
roads could have no complaint
against a subsidy to the bankrupt
farmers in view of their own finan-
cial gains from the public treasury
and their own extravaganza.
Would Tax Saturday Pest.
Brookhart said he would favor
higher rates on second class mail
matter, If that would result in a
''tax on the Saturday Evening Post
and the other reactionary journals
that are getting the benefit of the
present rate and making their mil
lions out of it," He observed that
private business, speaking thru the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce, was
''being organized as sort of super
government of the United States to
supervise and direct everything that
we do down here"
