Chicken Baked in Milk.
Cut up a good fat chicken after
scrubbing we'll with soda water. Wipe
dry and roll in seasoned -four, brown
in butter, then cover with sweet milk
and bake for several hours in mod
crate oven. The milk with the flour
will form a gravy. Serve with mashed
potatoes.
Potato Salad.
Cook the potatoes in their Jackets.
When done remove the skins, cut in
cubes, small enough to thoroughly sea-
son. Marinate with three tablespoon
fuls of oil and one Of vinegar, let
stand for an hour or more. When pre-
pairing the potatoes add a minced
onion, and one good-sized cucumber
with a cupful of minced celery. Lack
ing the celery, dust with celery salt.
Take three tablespoonfuls Of highly
seasoned salad dressing, add one cup
full Of whipped cream and mix with
the salad, adding salt and cayenne
as needed. The secret Of good po-
tato salad is allowing the potato to
stand long enough with the season,
lngs to become seasoned through.

whether the LaFollette group would
favor Dawes or Bryan-make your
own guess.
Having gone so far for the sake
of argument, let us keep on and as
sumo that both chambers have re-
manned in deadlock from February IL
to March 4 and have failed to elect
either President or vice president.
There is therefore no President to
swear in as successor to President
Coolidge when his term expires. There
is no vice president to be sworn in
and automatically become President.
The new house is seated that day.
Thirty senatorial seats are filed.
But with no President and no vice
president to inaugurate what happens?
Is the United States for the first
time since April 80. 1889, without a
President?
Or does Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes automatically become
President Hughes?
The Constitution provides that ''the
congress may, by law, provide for the
case of removal death, resignation,
or inability both Of the President and
vice president, declaring what officer
shall then act as President, and such
officer shall act accordingly, until the
disability be removed or a President
shall be elected"
The Presidential succession act, ap-
To 1909
the succession shall pass to the men,
bers of the cabinet in the following
order: Secretaries of State, Treas
ury and War, Attorney General, Post
master General, Secretary of the
Navy.
In the event of Secretary Hughes
becoming President, would he serve
the full term of four years? Or has
congress the power to order special
Presidential election? And-in case
either chamber were Republican by
a decisive majority--wouId congress
order such an election?
This is puzzle story, not a politi-
Cal screed, but
Would it not be interesting IL
Charles E. Hughes, who resigned from
the Supreme court only to be defeated
for Presideht in 1916. should thus
achieve his ambition?
Would not the well-known irony of
fate be aptly illustrated if Charles w.
Bryan should thus attain to the place
three times refused his more illustri-
GUS brother, William Jennings Bryan?

But suppose there isn't any ava
aanche or any landslide and the up
heayal upheaves just enough to pre-
vent a choice in the electoral college
and throw the election into congress.
Then there will be something exciting.
For it is then quite within the pos
sibilities that both the house and the
senate should be deadlocked over the
eelection and that--for the first time
esince April 80, 1789-there should be
no President-elect or vice president
elect to take the oath of Office March
4, 1925.
This is not political screed, but
puzzle story. Here are the facts. Puz-
zle the thing out in your own way.
There are 531 votes in the electoral
college and 266 are necessary for a
choice Suppose-for the sake of ar
gument-that LaFollette carries at
least FIVE states with 80 electoral
votes and that the remaining 492 votes
are so evenly divided between Cool
idge and Davis that neither has 266.
Then under the Constitution the cleo
ton of President goes to the house
and the election of vice president
goes to the senate. That is the suppo-
sitional case in nutshell. And
politics being far from an exact sci
ence-there is nothing unreasonable
about it.
LaFollette's opponents in both of
the major parties concede him the
chance of carrying Wisconsin (13),
Minnesota (12), North Dakota 90,
South Dakota (5) and Montana az,
total. 80 electoral votes.
Coolidge is generally conceded Is
states, with 142 electoral votes.
Davis Is generally conceded the
''Solid South of IL states with 139
electoral votes. It is more Or less as
sumed that Davis will carry West
Virginia (S) and that Bryan will carry
Nebraska (8), total 155.
The result in the remaining IA states
with their 1876 electoral votes-includ-
ing the big ones like Illinois coy, In
diana (15), Missouri (18), New York
(45) and Ohio (24)-is on the knees
of the gods.
If LaFollette gets enough electoral
votes to block election in the electoral
college, the house will proceed to bal
lot for President February IL, 1925.
The twelfth amendment to the Consti-
tuition provides that each state shall
have one vote, majority of the dele
cation determining that vote. A
quorum consists of a member or men,
bers from .two-thirds of the states and
a majority of all the states (25) is
necessary for choice.
The present house is so made up
that a deadlock is not at all improb-
able. There are % Republican dele
cations, and 20 Democratic. Five dele
gations-those of Maryland, Montana,
Nebraska, New Hampshire and New
Jersey are evenly divided and there

CBy The Federated Pres.)

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The
World War was fought on less coal,
iron, steel, lead, zinc, cotton and wool
than were used in peacetime manu-
facture in 1913, according to statis-
tics compiled by the International
Labor Office of the League Of Ma
tions, and issued thru their American
office here. The second volume of an
exhaustive inquiry into world pro
duction is the immediate source of
these figures.
Use of copper, aluminium, rubber
and silk was increased during the
war.
Wheat and rye production averaged
during the five war years from 80 to
80 per cent of pre-war, while sugar
and rice were inreased. Cattle were
5 per cent higher, hogs about the
same, and sheep 10 per cent less than
in 1913.
Housing construction in Germany
in 1917 was only 4 per cent, in the
principal cities, of that for 1918. In
Vienna in 1913 and 1919 it was only
l per cent, in Milan and Rome s per
cent, and in Britain, on a valuation
basis, as low as 4 per cent of the
amount for 1913.

NEW YORK, March "A large

Brooklyn were condemned by Alder
man George U. Harvey before the
board of aldermen, Harvey charging
that these structures are firetraps.
He suggested that the dangerous
buildings be destroyed and the site
used as a playground. He pointed
out that the former owners were still
allowed to collect rent after the city
had purchased the tenements in ques-
ton. These illicit landlords, he said,
were reaping substantial profits.
Alderman John J. McCusker, in
whose ward the buildings are stu
ated, protested against this "inter-
ference" in his bailiwick. Despite
McCusker's solicitude for the law

rents from the condemned tenements,

Az The Federated Pam

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Sen.
Couzens has discovered, by a private
questioning of the mysterious "CoI.
Drake" who has been put in charge
of employing all personnel at the
Treasury, that Drake is president of
the Pressed Steel Car Co., a Mellon
concern.
The Pressed Steel Car Co. is in
famous in strike history, and in its
record of bitter warfare upon organ
lied labor.
Couzens is demanding that Con-
gress investigate the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau, to discover the loop
holes in the law and in the rules Of
its enforcement, whereby hundreds
OF millions of dollars of income tax
es have failed of collection. Drake
is supposed to report secretly to his
private boss--Mellon-as to the
safety of employees proposed for
transfer to the Internal Revenue Blu
reau. He is not on the government
payroll, but is credited with guard
ing the Bureau against radical clerks,
who might talk too much when big
reductions in tax levy are handed
out to oil companies for "deprecia-
ton of plant" etc.
Mellon has sent Representatives to
Couzens, seeking to prevent his GO
ing further with the investigation

Virgin Islanders
Demand Freedom,
Not II. s. Navy Rule

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Coples
of the draft of a measure creating
a permanent form of civil govern
ment for the Virgil Island, favored
by the people Of that new possession
of the United States, have been
handed to Chairman Fairfield, house
committee on insular affairs, and to
Admiral Latimer, Judge advocate
general of the navy, by Rothschild
Francis, chairman, Virgin Islands
committee.
Since the purchase of the islands,
during the war, the United States
has ruled them thru the navy depart
ment, without in any way consulting
the wishes Of the people themselves.
Resolutions have been adopted by
the A. F. Of L., the American Civil
Liberties union, the Negro Sanhedrin,
Lincoln League of America, and the
Virgin Islands committee, demand
ing citizenship and a permanent
form of civil government by and for
the natives. The colonial councils
in the islands recently adopted a
resolution which in part asked con-
gress to determine the political
status of the natives of these islands
in the American government.
