 Washington. D. C., Jan. 22.-- One ot the btterest fights ever wagcd over political appointment, on which will certainly depend the sup port or opposition of the entire state delegation of one southern state and possibly that Of four or five others for President Coolidge, when the sen ate takes up in few days the nom nation of Walter l.. Cohen, colored republican leader Of Louisiana for the position of controller of the Port ot New Orleans.
 The appointment ot d colored man for the high office, which is one Of the most important in the federal service, New Orleans being the couu- trys second port in plume Of busi- ness, created Consteruatpn ln the south when it was announced by President Harding in November 1922. After q fight Of three months hy the southern democratic senators in num- erous executive sessions of the sen ate, that body refused to confirm the appointment.
 President Harding lhCn gave the southerners another shock by giving Cohen recess appointmcn. as soon as the senate adjournCl last March tor the summer, Cohen has been holding on since.

Zonin9 to Aid Cities

Avoidance and correction Of the
present topsy-turvy arrangement Of so
many American cities, the cause Of
millions of dollars loss, is the object
Of "A Zoning Primer" issued by the
division of building and housing OF
the Department of Commerce, accord
ing to an official announcement at
Washington.
The enormous waste In American
cities from scrapping good buildings
on account of the blighting of districts
has long been apparent, and for years
has levied its tax on the American
people.
Random crowding of stores among
private dwellings, the elbowing of fac
tories and noisy, smelling garages
into the rightful domains of neat re-
tail stores or well-kept apartment
houses, and the construction of tall,
bulky office buildings so closely crowd
ed that the lower floors are too dark
for human use and consequently sell
dom occupied, is part Of the present
stupid, wasteful tumble which proper
zoning will prevent and gradually cor
rect. in the opinion of the advisory
committee on coming Of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The pamphlet describes the object
of coming, the need. the health and
property protection afforded, and its
effect on the cost of living. Legal
problems, with an outline of what
some cities have accomplished, and q
coming program, are also included
among other subjects. Copies are sold
by the Superintendent Of Documents.

SPRING
TONES
Dn. TRDDnKICK n. GREEN
B<Ator Of ssHHALTH"

WITH the hrst signs of spring our
" Gfandmothers went out into the
woods and gathered herbs, roots and
barley. sassafras or camomIle tea,
spruce beer or ginger beer1 Whatever
n was, 1t was to "cool the blood"
which was supposed to become hot and
thick during the long winter.
This belief in 'spring tonic" like
many popular delusions, had its origin
In the teachings Of the wise men Of the
past.
The old psychologists believed that
there were four "humors" or fluids In
the body-hlood. lymph. black bile and
yellow bile-and that disease was
caused by improper combinations OF
these four fluids. In the winter the
blood was supposed to become thick
and hot.
Doctors know better now, but the
popular belief still persists.
The sassafras tea our grandmothers
used to make wasn't bad stuff. It was
brown and sparkling and pungent with
the spicy odors of the spring woods.
It didn't "thin the blood" but 1t didn't
do US any harm and was the best our
good old grandmothers knew.
Yet. like many popular beliefs, there
was a germ of truth in 1t.
During the winter most of us stay
in the house too much. We sit at a
desk or a workable too constantly.
We wear too heavy clothes We eat
too much heavy food. We don't get
enough fresh air and sunshine.
When spring comes we feel the uni
versal impulse toward growth and re.
generation. We want new life. We
want stimulation. We need "spring
tonic" but we don't need one out of
a bottle.
The best spring tonic is Gods great
outdoors.
So get outdoors and play. It doesn't
matter how. 1t may be with golf
stick or a shotgun or baseball or
canoe paddle. Hunt up your old fish
ing tackle and overhaul 1t.
Now is the time for boys to get out
their marbles and to start building
kites.
It's the time for little girls to get
their skipping ropes and Jack stones.
It's the, time for baseball on the
vacant lots and for pitching horseshoes
in the backyard.
We all need spring tonic. You can
get your share.
There's air and sunshine enough for
everybody and they don't cost cent.

Widespread Resentment
Against Roadside Ugliea

The worst Disagreement Of the road
side scenery has been billboard adver-
tising. Resentment against 1t has be
come widespread, but, since 1t Is usunl
ly on private property; it has resisted
attempts to remove 1t by legislation.
But what lawmakers have not been
able to do Is now likely to be accom-.
plished by the pressure Of public opin-
ion. The advertisers themselves, seek
ing public favor, have begun to real
ize that publicity in form that is
Objectionable to the public taste does
not pay, and already fifteen large
firms, all so-called national advertis-
ers, have announced that as soon as
present contracts expire they will vol
unfairly deslst from defacing the rural
landscape. In time others will prob
ably find 1t to their advantage to fol
low the same course.
The movement began last year in
England, where one big concern after
another announced that 1t had given
up billboard advertising as being
against public sentiment. Their gain
in good will was immediate Restric
tions on the size and position Of road
side billboards have been adopted re-
Gently In Massachusetts and in other
states.
But there are other unsightly struc-
lures by the roadside that the owners
ought to remove for the common good
-ramshackle barns, abandoned shan
ties, broken down fences covered with
tinplate signs, rickety lunch stands.
unkempt stores, public dumps, untidy
yards and Uttered porches Such eye
sores give an unfavorable impression
of a town or state Spring is good
time to clean up
Automobilists too have certain obli-
cations. Among them are the duties
Of respecting the roadside scenery by
refraining from building camp fires in
dangerous places, leaving picnic sites
untidy and destroying flowers and
shrubbery along the roadway. The
trailing arbutus, the mountain laurel
willow hedges, the black alder and
the holly have all suffered so severely
from the vandalism of those who ride
In automobiles that public opinion has
been reused to vigorous protest and
In some places has resulted In restric-
tive eglslation.-Youth's Companion.

The Home Instinct

The late President Harding fire.
quently emphasized a fine old Amer
lean ldeal-that every American
should have an opportunity to live
decently and in comfort In his own
place.
1t is a tradition among Anglo-Sax-
ons that mans home is his castle.
And the law recognizes certain definite
rights of privacy within the home. The
home instinct is one of the soundest
safeguards of American democracy.
To those who would like to build
home for themselves, but think 1t
too much of task" there are sew
eral safe ways to commence. And
once started 1t becomes fascinating
game. (Men have even been known
to forsake an occasional game Of golf
on account of their interest In watch
ing the new home grow.)
Architects offer wise starting
point, whether the home is to be large
or small Reputable contractors have
great deal Of experience and help
full advice to offer. Good dealers In
lumber and woodwork also prove help
full in the prellminaries-as well as in
securing the best material to go Into
the house at fair prices

Better Homes

Approximately 1000 better home
demonstrations were held In cities.
towns and villages in America in CO.
operation with the Better Homes In
America" movement, figures compiled
by that organization show.
It u estimated that fully 100000
PERSONS attended these demonstrations,
In conpsetion with which educational
campaigns were conducted In news
papers and magazines.
Ordinarily the committee in charge
Of the demonstrations was made up Of
representatives Of the leading civic
organizations of the community.
Architects, realtors, merchants, build
ers. interior decorators and dealers in
each of the articles necessary for
the construction or equipment Of
houses co-operated
In almost every instance where such
expositions have been held the re
suit has been an organized movement
to repeat the better home demon

Teachers Are Happy Nosu

Frank and Willie Allen, twins, of
Windsor, England, looked alike,
dressed alike and talked alike From
the day they started to school they
had their masters guessing. To make
matters worse, their marks always
were the same. If Frank failed,
Willie failed. But now their teachers
are signing with relief. Willie has
outstripped Frank in spelling and has
been promoted to higher form. And
Frank has got the edge on Willie In

LIVED LONG ON
HOPE AND WATER
But Entombed Miners Did
Not EstabIish Record

Surprise has been expressed that the
men rescued from the flooded pit near
Falkirk, Scotland, were able to exist
for nine days ION hope and water"
In point of fact, 1t was just because
these men had fresh water and did not
abandon hope that they not only sur.
vived their horrible Imprisonment, but
were actually able to crawl down to
the shaft bottom, unaided, to Join their
rescuers.
For healthy man nine days fast
is, in itself, no very dreadful ordeal
There are indeed plenty Of people who
habitually fast at intervals for from
three to seven days simply for health's
sake, observes Henri Pickard in the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Not, Of course, that there is any COM
parison between lying comfortably in
bed without food and existing in the
pitch darkness Of a flooded coal pit
breathing bad air and always under
the hideous uncertainty Of whether you
will ever get out or not.
Even SO, these miners were not SO
badly of as shipwrecked crew in an
open boat. The mere fact of having
water all around you, yet none to
drink. Is literally maddening. Yet the
survivors from the Medusa, wrecked
in the year 1876, managed to live
through 18 days on a raft, without
food or water. exposed, too, for much
of the time, to burning sun.
81
which we have any record is that Of
the last survivor from the Courrieres
mine in France. after the awful explo-
sion of March 8. 1906. He was in all,
20 days below ground before being
rescued. But he had food for the first
week Of his Imprisonment.
Doctors are divided as to how long
man can exist without food. Profes'
slonal fasters, such as Doctor Tanner
and Succi, have abstained for 40, even
so days on end, and>the is case re-
ported in the Lancet of 1858 of man
Of sixty-twO who refused food for four
months and recovered.
The period of fdsting before death
ensues varies with different individu-
ais. Generally speaking, healthy per
son can go without food until he or she
has lost one-third of the bodily weight
But different people do not lose
weight at the same rate. Succl Tor
Instance, lost "a pounds 3 ounces dur
Ing 40 days fast, but Jacques, the
champion faster, lost only % pounds
ounces In the course of his record
fast of so days.
Medical Jurisprudence assumes thnt
fat person will live longer without
food than a thin one, for, like the nj
bernnting bear, II fasting man con
sumes his own fat.
The muscles, too, lose much weight :;
even the skin and hair decrease III
weight during the fast. The only par'
Of the body which loses nothing Is the
heart.

| cicpudntS. SA,
how beautiful they werel
They were so big and they looked
out of their small eyes as though to
say:
Bring peanuts when you come to
see US. We've got good appetites. And
why shouldn't we have when you look
at how enormous we are!
We've seen people-not big as we
are-eat great, great meal, and small
people, too! Well, just think then
al out us and our size and our-appe-
tites"
Then came the camels and ladies
rode upon the camels. The camels did
not look to the right, nor to the left
except when some one rode by on
motorcycle the camels moved their
bodies sideways as though to say:
where we came from they didn't
have queer, noisy things like that!
1--WE wouldn't like anything of the
sort. Fancy us lowering our dignity
by riding on such thing.
"That's all right for people, but not
for camels"
The sun shone down upon the parade
and every costume seemed to dazzle
and sparkle in the bright light.
Clowns rode upon some of the high
wagons and looked down and made
funny remarks as they went by.
And one of them wlnked at a little
boy named George and said:
"My name Is George; what Is
yours?"
Mine is George, tool" the boy
shouted back.
And the clown made a great bow
and the people saw all this, and many
of the circus people saw 1t, too, which
made 1t very exciting and nice.
Wasn't that pleasant thing TO have
happen?
The ponies were so cunning and
some very little people rode upon them.
There were several enormous lions
who rode in cages and who looked

out at the people
as though to say:
admire us If
you like. We don't
mind, but neither
will 1t thrill us.
"With our great
lion dignity we
will not make a
fuss SO as to gain
your praise"

it was! And 1t
