there wasn't the least shadow of an excuse They were quarrelling over a fish which didn't belong to either of them PfungeF the Fish Hawk had caught it. and as he was flying home with it King Eagle, who has fond ness for fish, had made him drop it, and then hadn't been able to catch | it before it reached the ground. It was just chance that that fish had faflen right where Buster Bear was sitting, and so he claimed it as his own
 Now King Eagle is not one to easily | give upl You see he has always been used to having his way. That is the way with kings, He had very whole some respect for Buster Bears great strength and his great paws and claws, but he didn't propose to give up that fish without a struggle.
 -Rabberr' he hissed az he eireled above Busters head watching for a chance to dart down and tear Bus tef's eOat with his great hooked claws. This was true, and it didn't improve King Eagie's temper to be told so. He called Buster all the bad names he could think of, and he made fun of him because he was no longer king Of the forest. All the time he kept wheeling and turning just out of Busters reach f and pretending to dart down at him. Once he succeeded in striking Buster | from behind before Buster could turn, and once Buster pulled out a couple of King Eagle's white tail feathers. Bus ter's little eyes bIazed with anger, and there was a savage gfeam in the eyes of King Eagle. And such a screaming and growing as there was! It brought every one within hearing to watch. It is queer how quickly news of such un- f pleasant things can travel In q sur | prfsingfy short time there was a ring of little forest and meadow people out from safe hiding places. None of them knew what the quarrel was about, but ! all took sides as a matter of course. The birds wanted King Eagle to win, and the animals wanted Buster to win, and aIl the time they wondered what

Lemons will keep and not dry up if kept in jar of water.

Kale is a vegetable which most anna teurs overlook, although it has the dis tinct advantage of making good growth when planted in midsummer or later. Kale belongs to the cabbage family, but likes cooler weather weather than most of its cousins, which is the reason that .i- thrives so well in the fall. One kind, known as Siberian kale, is so exceed ingly hardy that it remains in good condition most of the winter, except in the very coldest parts of the country. For that matter, almost any variety of kale will keep in good condition until long after the snow flies. Plant it in good ground and thin the seedlings so that there will be at least two feet between the plants. For the rest, all that is needed is plenty of cultivation.

MENprNG GLASSWARE

There are several good preparations for mending broken tumblers and other glassware, but the following is highly recommended by "a housewife, who claims the mended article can be put into boiling water without breaking apart:
 To make the preparation add one part solution of bichromate of potash to five parts of gelatine. Cover the broken edges of the glass with this, press them together and stand the mended article in the direct sunlight for few hours. If neatly done the break will not be visible.

this dreadful quarrel was about.
 Now as is the way with people who quarrel, 1t wasn't long before Buster Bear and King Eagle were so intent upon their quarrel that they gave no thought at all to what they were quar- relling about, and little by little they had made all this trouble. Suddenly King Eagle remembered Buster Bear was now SO far from where the fish had fallen that if he were quick he might swoop down, snatch it and be away before Buster could get him. Watching his chance, he swooped down over Busters head and down to the place where he had last seen the fish, his great claws outstretched to seize it. There was no fish there!

Deadlock in the House.

There has been large volume of
ialk, some apprehensive and some, ap-
parently, hopeful, that the presidential
electors to be chosen next month will
be unable to select a President of the
United States, and that the contest
will be thrown into the House of Rep
resentatives for the selection of the
President and into the Senate for the
selection of the Vice President, as pro-
vided by the Constitution. And much
has been made Of the fact that the
House, as now constituted, would be
deadlocked, as between the two major
parties, and therefore unable to dis
charge it's constitutional function Of
selecting a President from among the
three candidates receiving the highest
number of votes in the electoral col
lege.
The Constitution provides that in
the event of the House being called
upon to select the President the vote
shall be by States, each State having
one vote, and that majority Of the
whole number shall be required for
election. Though the Constitution sia

Government Building Program.

The Public Buildings Commission
believes that Congress at its next ses-
sion will appropriate money for Gov
ernment building program in Wash
ington continuing over a period Of
years, and which would provide space
needed for the proper conduct of pub
lie business. President Coolidge, in
his first budget message, recommend
ed that $4,000, 900 be spent each year
for the construction Of Government
buildings at the Capital until the re-
quirements Of the Government were
met. The program would call for the
expenditure Of $50,000,o00, and by
spending s5,Oo0,0o0 could be concluded
in 10 years. A general building pro-
gram is favored by the President, the
Budget Bureau, the Public Buildings
Commission and by many members Of
Congress, and the commission at its
late meeting expressed the opinion
that there is every prospect that the
necessary legislation will be enacted
at the next session Of Congress.
The Federal housing situation at the
Capital is unsatisfactory. The officer
in charge Of public buildings and
grounds shows that unless the remedy
is promptly applied conditions must
grow worse with the increase in pub.
lie business and the establishment Of
new offices. Col. Sheriff. has said that
temporary buildings which furnish
more than 100000 square feet Of the
space in which Government work Is
done are deteriorating 80 fast that
within five years they will be useless.
The Government must construct build
ings and rent private buildings. Much
Of the Government business is now
carried on In rented quarters not de-
signed for Government work, and Fed.
eral bureaus and parts Of bureaus are
scattered about the city. Many of the
Government offices, both public owned
and private owned, are crowded to
degree which operates against efficient
conduct Of business, and in many Gov
ernment offices the fire danger is pres
ent. Tons Of irreplaceable records on
which the Government depends from
day to day are exposed to fire hazards
which a modern business firm would
not tolerate.

Florida Fruit Crop.

papers sometimes. The Department of
Agriculture sends out word that the
Florida orange and grapefruit crops
will be bumpers. 1t says that the COM
mercial orange crop Of Florida for the
season 1924-25 is forecast at 13, 400 900
boxes, or 100000 more boxes than
last season, and that the grapefruit
forecast is S,60O,OOO, or 100000 larger
than last season. With 13,400, 900
crates of oranges and S,600,000 crates
Of grapefruit, sun ,iemented by few
thousand carloads of citrus fruit from
California, We ought to be able to get

The Warning Whistle.

The confusion resulting from the
trial yesterday Of a new scheme of
handling traffic at street intersections
should not be accepted as evidence of
the impracticability Of the scheme in
question. The plan involved the blow
ing of a whistle by traffic policemen
as warning of their intent to change
the direction OF the flow Of traffic. An
interval Of 80 seconds between the
warning whistle and the actual shift
was proposed. as the probable time
necessary for clearing the street in
tersection prior 10 making the change.
This interval may, as Inspector Head
ley announces, have been too long, yet
the plan in its essentials is sound and
practical and should be continued.
Such confusion as resulted was in a
measure inevitable. for any alteration
in traffic control regulations is almost
sure to confuse at first. Yet there were
certain factors which contributed to
that confusion which were largely
avoidable and which can readily be
corrected. The public was not ap-
prised of what was to be done under
the new plan, and why. And the
traffic police were, from their actions,
either not fully instructed as to how
to function under the new plan or,
having been so instructed, were them
selves confused
The first of the avoidable factors
which contributed to yesterdays con-
fusion may be corrected by the issu-
ance from the traffic bureau of a
simple statement to the public through
the local press of what is being at
tempted. The second, through the
issuance by the same office of in
structions along the following lines
to the officers concerned:
"When you are about to change the
direction of the flow of traffic from
say north and south to east and west
act in this fashion. Face the traffic
running from the north to the south
and, as you blow long blast on your
whistle, catch the eye of the driver of
car back of the sidewalk intersection
dIu Hat Hill WIFI d IidIlu SiSIldI j..
Motion all south bound traffic ahead
of this car on its legitimate way. Then
turn to face the traffic running from
south to north and act as above, un-
less, as will probably be the case, it
has already halted. With the inter-
section thus cleared of vehicular traf-
flc, permit such north and south
bound cars as have signaled that they
wish to turn to the left to do so,
mOtiOning pedestrians out of their
way. Then and not until then, release
the flow of east and west bound
traffic
All this sounds on paper like a some
what complicated scheme. Yet in
operation, once the public understands
what is happening, it is simplicity it
self. The plan is perfectly adapted to
one-man intersection control, and is so
operated at many of the busiest
corners in New York City. AS an
alternative TO the old local system of
'blow, go, and the devil take the hind
most it has much to recommend it.

silent on the subject. 1t Is q natural
construction that the vote Of each
State shall be determined by the politi.
cal preferences Of majority Of mem.
bers of the delegation from that State.
1t so happens that five Of the State
delegations have an equal number Of
Republican and Democratic members,
and. therefore, If they stuck strictly
to party lines, their votes could be
cast neither for Coolidge nor Davis.
But these five States must be counted
in the whole number, making it nec-
essary that the successful candidate
shall receive the votes of 25 States.
And as political control of the 43 other
State delegations is so divided that
neither Coolidge nor Davis could be
elected without the votes of some or
all Of the five deadlocked States, there
is widespread belief that the House
would be unable to elect a President,
and that it would devolve upon the
Senate to select Vice President, who
would become President by default.
Many suggestions have been put
forward for averting such an outcome,
in q period of political decentralization.
One of the latest is advanced by
Charles d. Hilles, vice chairman of
the Republican national committee,
who proposes that the five dead
locked" delegations shall pledge them
selves in advance to vote for which
ever candidate for President received
the largest number of popular votes
in their respective States. But against
this it is argued that it would be il
1924 popular vote for guidance, while
the course of the 43 other States was
determined by the congressional dis
trict votes of 1922.
Another suggestion. which lacks
constitutional authority or the war
rant Of precedent, but does not seem
to be expressly prohibited, is that the
deadlock States should split their
votes, each casting a half vote for
Coolidge and a half vote for Davis.
bul IL Is oil SCSu ltdl IL d Stdle Will
four Republican and four Democratic
Representatives were permitted to
cast a half vote for each of the candi.
dates it might be insisted that a dele
cation otherwise divided had an equal
right TO cast fractional votes in ac-
cordance with it's division. For ex.
ample, that a delegation of three
Democrats and one Republican would
have a right to cast three-fourths
Of vote for Davis and one
fourth for Coolidge. Any such at
tempt to split the vote Of States, it
is feared, would result in a disputed
election which might have to be car
ried to the courts for an interpreta-
ton of the Constitution.
1t is to be hoped that the machinery
provided for the election Of Presi-
dent in event Of failure Of the electoral
college to do so will not be put to a
test, but contemplation of the posi-
bility, in view of the present situation
in the House, shows the impractical
nature of the provision and the neces-
sity Of amending the Constitution to
provide a simpler and more certain
method.

Rainbow Pool.

The Rainbow Pool in connection
with the Lincoln Memorial is not only
to be thing Of beauty, but play
ground, or a play pool, or an aquatic
playground. The superintendent Of
public buildings and grounds has said:
THE attention Of the public is called
to the splendid opportunities that will
be afforded by the pool for model

to be so popular throughout the
United States. 1t Is hoped that this
