 Same Time

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Presi- dent Coolidge is attempting to work out an arrangement with respect to Japanese exclusion which will satisfy those favorable to restriction and at tthe same time avoid any affront to Japan.
 This announcement was made at the White House today in expectation of the recent conferences held by the ex- ecutive with state department officials and those who have had charge of i'm migration legislation in, Congress.
 Details as to the arrangement being attempted were not revealed and it was said that it was impossible to state at the present time whether anything , could be accomplished.
 An arrangement of the nature under consideration would permit the Presi dent to sign the immigration bill re- garding which those who have con- ferred with him declare he is -consid- serably disturbed and which he has been advised by some; administration advisers to veto.

 Thursday and Friday were occupied chiefly with converting vague ideas and plans into definite conclusions and a specific program to be put into execu- tion by the candy men during the com ing year.
 Features of the Friday activities, other than the strictly business ses- sions, were the ball game, a ride over the city in automobiles and the "old banquet" staged at the Tut wiler at o'clock.
 Among the important matters that will be taken up at the Saturday ses- sion are. adoption of a plan for sup pressing the merchandising of candy by chance or gambling methods, the adoption of a code of ethics for the active members of the association and also code for the associate members, and the election of officers for the en- suing year.

A REMARKABLE RECOVERY
Birmingham Lady Suffered a Long Time Before Finally Taking Cardui and En- .a. toying ''First Health
 in Years"

Birmingham, Ala.-Before her recent remarkable recovery, Mrs. Florence Moore, 2S09 Thirty-third Ave, North, this city, was frequently so i'll and weak that she had to sit down while doing her housework.
 "For many years I suffered with fe- male trouble of every descriptions" says Mrs. Moore. q was told an opera tion was necessary to save my life. At times I was not able to stand on my feet. I have cooked many meal sit ting, while my husband and children handed me the things with which to do it. .
 q had given up all hope of ever be- ing we'll again. It is a sight what women will suffer before they will listen to the advice of others.
 ?. Several of my friends had taken 'aCardui and been benefited by it. They told me about it, but thought my case was hopeless. Finally l told my hus- band to get me some Cardui and 1 be- gan to take it. After I had taken the first bottle I saw that was improving. I took eleven bottles at that time be- fore was cured, but as it was the first health I had had for years I was thank full to do it. q can't praise Cardui enough"

SEVENTEEN IS
 CLEVERLY DONE Jefferson Cast Highly ..l Successful With Tark- ington's Comedy t

Another production was added to the long list of triumphs of the Birming- ham. Little Theatre when a selected cast staged Booth Tarkington's Seventeen" at a matinee Friday afternoon at the Jefferson theatre.
 Always popular, this play again won favor with the audience, and proved highly entertaining from start to fin ish, There was not a dull moment dur ing the entire performance, and the play moved swiftly. The action was( CO., herent, with the result that at no time did entertainment lag.
 The four-act tragi-comedy was pro duced under the personal direction of Bernard Szold, and the able manner in which the cast as whole conducted itself was proof Of the work of the director and his skill at production.
 With the majority of action center ing around him, Henry Richard, in the role of William SylVanus Baxter, the 17-year-old youth about whose Sphilos- ophy of life the play is written, showed marked ability. The expressions on his face and the deep feeling his voice car ried made his audience sympathize with their ridiculousness.
 Miss Pettus Fine
 To Rosalie Pettus, appearing as Will lies young sister, goes credit for pro viding great amount of humor in the play. Truly the younger sister of a youth of high school age, she always is on hand to break up his schemes and to run with news about him to their mother.
 Mildred Adanfs takes the part of Lola Pratt, playing opposite Willie Baxter. Her role calls for considerable ability, and her work in it was splendid. Bebe Wharton was good as May Parcher chum of Lola Pratt, and Lane Carter did fine work as Johnnie Watson, one of the important members of the lit tie group of youthful "lovers" with which the play deals.
 In furnishing humor for the produc- tion. William T. Warren, as Genesis negro handy man, left little to be de sired. His mannerisms, speech and en tire demeanor were almost a perfect imitation of the type, he was play ing,
 Adult parts were taken by Hugh Mar tin, Lucille Lovejoy, and Ferdinand Dunkley, all of whom did fine work
 Other members of the cast also proved themselves highly capable and well fit ted to their roles. They were N. R MeEwen, John Levinge, Nell Lewis Helen Knapp, Howard Bailey, Helen Brewer and Mrs. Erie Pettus. And last but not least comes "Floppit," Lola Pratts French poodle dog, who carried himself like a trained actor.

 All around entertainment with each act good is the description of~the pro gram of big-time Keith vaudeville, which will be offered patrons of the Lyric the last time this afternoon and tonight. r
 The headliner is Jimmy Hodges. Al most any vaudeville patron will say that nothing more be said, but for those who are. not regular and who want to be entertained, critics say that Jimmy Hodges is one of the greatest monologists that ever made audiences hold their sides with laughter. There is even laugh in the title of his act, Jokes That Columbus Told" but re- ports say if Columbus told them he is telling them now because more up to minute quips and quirks are not to be heard.
 The added attraction brings on more laughs and they are shearty ones, too, it is said.

Annuities Were Issued in
Early Bobylonian Tin, .s

Historically annuities antedate life
insurance by far. 1t is thought that
the great development of banking IA
cilities in Assyria and Babylonia must
have provided annuities. The first
definite mention of them, however,
was 10 B. G. In Rome and is of slech
4 character as to Justify belief that
they had been long in use.
In the Middle ages, kingdoms, mu-
inequalities and bankers obtained
money by selling annuities for life or
terms of years 1t is said that Egg
lands national existence during the
wars Of William of Orange was large.
ly maintained through the money Oh
tanned by selling annuities. at first
the values of such contracts were de-
termined without scientific calcula-
ton; after while the Northampton
mortality table vas compiled and used
as basis, and later the Carlisle
table, but both these bases were far
too favorable to the annuities.
Several British companies took adj
vantage Of the very low price at which
their government granted annuities
and purchased many on the lives of
sturdy farmers, but payable to their
corporate selves, and thus made large
profits. In 1919 an English actuary
warned the government that 1t was
losing $4,000 month, but he was not
needed until 1927, when another &C,
tuary announced that the government
was losing $4,000 week, and then
the sale of annuities was stopped af-
ter an estimated total loss of f25,0O0,-

Early Nel0 Englanders
Fond of Their Beans

In the absence of positive informa-
ton on the subject of the origin of
Boston baked beans and their place on
New England breakfast menus this
conjecture is offered: In the early
days of the Plymouth colony people
did their baking in brick ovens. These
ovens were heated on Saturday and
enough baking for the week was done
at that time. AS the oven cooled off
the temperature was just right for
beans, which need long, slow cooking,
so they were thus ready to be eaten
on Saturday night and were probably
put back into the oven TO keep hot and
these were eaten for breakfast on Sun
day morning. Many New England peo-
pie reheat them and eat them for
breakfast each morning until they are
gone, and some people who bake them
on Wednesday continue to serve them
for breakfast until the Saturday beans
are baked. In northern New England
beans have been baked from time inn
memorial in hole in the ground, the
hole having first been lined with
stones and the stones made very hot
with fire built in the hole. In 1um-
Der camps the beans are usually put in
to bake the night before they are to
be served for breakfast.

Significant Words on
First American Coin

After the American colonies had
achieved independence, the provision
of coinage became their own SOW
ereign right. The devices for the first
coin struck by authority Of congress
were prescribed by committee Of that
body in the following terms: g. :.
On one side of which piece
thirteen circles linked together,
small circle in the middle, with the
words United States around it; and In
the center We Are One' On the other
side Of the same piece the following
device, viz, a dial with. the hours .ex-
pressed ON the face Of it; meridian
sun above, on one side Of which Is
to be the word F'ugio,' and on the
other the year .17S7'; below the dial,
the words, Mind Your Own Bust
mess" The types of this piece are
very similar to those Of the dollar
pattern Of the proposed continental
currency, which bears date of 1776,
and which were probably designed BY
an artist, who on the earlier piece
placed the signature e. G. Fecit. The
types are interesting as commentary
on the state Of mind of the times.
The political hope, for 1t could be
only a hope still at that time, of an
inseparable union, expressed in the
diverse type, was probably not less
prevalent than the caution so graph
cally set forth by the other that
thine Is Flying" 30 Mind Your Busi-
ness" affairs. This terse expression
of practical sense, because so much
in the spirit of Poor Richard, has
won for the coin the name of Frank

nothing to do with the designing Of 1t.
