TNHE Interior department is a
q collection of heterogeneous bu-
II reaus and offices that were
placed under control of the
secretary of the interior because there
was apparently no other department
into which they would fit. 1t was ere
ated to take care of the work and
problems arising from the vast acQui-
sition of territory following the MeXi-
can war and the Louisiana Purchase.
1t was intended to have charge of all
matters relating to the internal af-
fairs of the country, but many such
affairs We're lodged in other depart
ments and have stayed there.
The secretary of the interior is
charged with supervision of public
business relating to the general land
office, reclamation service, geological
survey. bureau of mines, office of In
dian affairs, patent Office, bureau of
pensions, bureau of education, Ma
tional park service and certain hos
pltals and elaemosynary Institutions
He has supervision of the construc-
tlon of the government railroad in
Alaska and in measure over the
Territories of Alaska and Hawaii.

Coolidge and Wallace Differ ON Wheat

his secretary of agriculture Wallace.
Secretary Wallace in his report gave
the following as chief features of his
program:
Creation of an export corporation
to buy surplus wheat and market it
abroad, any loss incurred to be as.
sessed against the entire crop of the
following season.
temporary reduction in freight
rates of 25 per cent.
Creation of u commission to study
freight rates with a view to a re-
adjustment relieving the farmer of un-
due burdens.
Reduction in wheat acreage and di-
versification of crops by the farmer.
Reduction in taxes by the states on
farm lands.
Secretary Wallace holds that the
sale or gift of a substantial part of
our surplus wheat to countries which
are not able to buy, and which would,
therefore, take it out of the ordinary
channels of trade and competition,
would unQuestionably have helpful
effect upon domestic prices of wheat,
provided larger tariff protection were
given.

A woman with a large London house

the country on a visit, and on her re-
turn found a notice pinned above the

c. Wallace are not in full accord
on the program for agricultural
relief. The difference of opinion was.
brought out prominently when Secre-
tary Wallace, in the face of the Pres
idents recommendations on the sub
ject, made public his comprehensive
report on the wheat situation in
which he advocated the creation Of
government export corporation to buy
surplus wheat and market it abroad.
President Coolidge, who was well in
formed in advance of Secretary Wal
lace's proposal, did see fit to recon-
mend 1t in his message to congress.
The President, it Is declared, regards
Secretary Wallace's program as too
drastic.
While the President said in his mes
sage that he believed it to be feasible
to provide government assistance to
exports, and urged that authority be
given the War Finance corporation to
grant liberal terms on loans for eX-
ports of fats and grains, he failed to
give approval to the use of govern
nlent funds for the direct purchase of
surplus farm products as proposed by

EARLY twoscore bills OF To-

hopper of the house. They
cover n wide range of sub

jects. Perhaps the most important
measures were those designed to
change the fiscal relations between the
federal and District governments, a
proposal for permanent regulatory
rent legislation and abolition of the
public utilities commission. with re
turn to 5-cent street car fare in the
District.

 She heTself win be known not as "Her Royal Highness Princess Vlggo," but simply as "HeT Highness, Princess viggo, Countess of Rosenborg," with the word 'FoyGl" dropped out.
 On the other hand, she finds herself intimately related by marriage to the living royalty of many countries. Prince Valdemar, Viggo's father, aud now her fathag-in-law, ia brother to Her Majesty Alexandra, Queen Mother of England, and the Empress nowageF of the old regime tp Russia, She will be able to call Queen Alexandra Aunt" and her cousins by marriage will tneluds the royalty of Eng laAa, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Austria, ' Ronmania, Italy, Spain and Greece.
 Therefore, despite Viggo's reaunciation of the royal succession. her marriage is the most royal" that any American girl has ever made.
 Her chief residence will be the Bern Storff castle in Denmark, one of the royal crown properties held by Prince Valde- nav. and which he has turned over to his son.
 Gossip was current in American society circles that Prince Viggo was in need Of money and chose an American heiress partly for financial reasons. Prince Niggo Is rich man in his own right. He in- herited personally a share of the large fortune of his French mother. the late Princess Marie Of Orleans, daughter of tha Duke of ChaRtres. He invested large sums successfully in farms and other prop efty in Alberta, Canada, and so escaped the financial disaster that overlook some of his royal relatives in the crash of the Gandsmann Bank at Copenhagen.

 But Eleanor Green, according to her friends, is neither afraid of skulls or ghosts or royal legends, of poison, suicide or murder. Despite the fact that her hus- band has Fenouneed all his rights to the throne, and that she will neveF be queen, or even royal highness," she is proud and happy.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF
 MOVIE ACTRESS UNSOLVED

NEW YORK, Feb. 29-With the body of Louise Lawson on the way to her home in Walnut Springs, Tex, the police today continued efforts to establish the identity of two men who gained entrance to her apartment last week when she was strangled in bed. The police now are working on the theory that the murderers were the same two who, claiming to be boot leggers, were refused admittance by the young woman month ago.
 Miss Charlotte Wakefield, friend of the dead girl, told police of last months visit, she said, had appa~ ently disturbed Miss Lawson, The men had shouted through the closed door that they were bringing a case of gin, sent by friends. Miss Law son had a girl visitor at the time and did not admit the pair but told them she was not expecting liquor and would not receive it.
 The police believe it possible the men, pretended bootleggers at the time, contemplated robbing Miss Lawson of her many jewels. Discon- certed by the presence of visitor, it is thought they may have watched the girls movements and finally fore ed an entrance on the same pretext when she was alone.

HENRY MAKES $67 ON
 EACH FLIVVER SOLD

DETROIT, Feb. 29.-The recent rev elation that the Ford Motor company DetroiD, and Ford of Canada make almost identical profits per car, and the fact that the latter has a public valuation, furnished for the time a basis for computing the market valu- ation of the $17,264,5O0 stock in the Detroit Ford company.
 On this basis the Ford Motor com pany is worth sS49, 100000 in the mar. ket and when production reaches a steady 10 900 cars day it will be worth s1,26O,OOO,O0O or more. The present market value share is $4,866; at 10000 cars a day each share will be worth s7,342.
 This market valuation is decided from the fact that investors place a market value of $425 share in the 10000 $1O0 par shares of the Ford Mo- tor company of Canada, Ltd. and that tnlS company uuIlnS Iue 1A Hloh'ii' ended July 31, 1923, showed net prof it's available for dividends of $6S per car, while the American company in 12 months ended June 30, 1923, show ed $67 car.

FILIPINO LULLABY GIVES WAY TO NEW
 JAZZ AND FOXTROT

MANILA, Feb. 29-The tendency of the present generation to initiate foreigners instead of preserving what is best in local customs was deplored recently by Representative Serafin Hilado, member of the legislative body from the province of Occidental Negroes, in an address before stud ents of the University of the Phillip pines.
 "In Japan" said Mr Hilado, ''the girls, for example, are taught the civilization of the occidental, but the manners and customs of that coun- try are also taught with a view to preserving what is good in them. Filipinos instead of preserving what is best in the local customs prefer to adopt what is foreign, in contrast to the practice of the Japanese. No wonder that Japan in the short span of few years has become one of the leading nations of the world.
 Prefer JaZZ
 Instead of committing to memory sayings and phrases of our leading men and heroes we are prone to learn by heart the sayings and phrases of American poets and au- thors. Instead of singing our beautl- full lullabies, our mothers now prefer the jazz. Instead of preserving our native dances we prefer the import ed fox-trot.
 But the greatest of our mistakes is our tendency to spend beyond our means. Our old farmers used to boats of the money they saved, but some of our present day farmers be- lieye that the more debts they have in the Philippine National Bank, the greater they become"
