TO INSPECT THE CREW
When ZR-3 Arrives Immigration Men Will Give the Crew the o. O. Same As Any Other Ship.

Washington, Aug. 27.-1mmigra- ton inspectors from the labor de- partment will meet the new navy dirigible XR-3 upon It's arrival here from Germany to inspect the Ger man crew in the same manner that other ship crews are inspected.
 Commissioner Husband said today the step would be taken under a re- cent presidential proclamation plac- ing aircraft in the same category with ships of the sea, and requiring alien passengers and members Of the crew to submit the same docu- ments required to aliens arriving otherwise in the United tSates.
 The members of the crew will be granted 60 days shore leave at the end of which time they must return to Germany. The contract under which the ZR-3 was built required it's delivery in this country.

LUCK

Democrats Hunting a Rabbits
 Foot-Political Gossip
By Harry B. Hunt

Washington, Aug. 27.-That ln- tangible, mystical something that dogs the footsteps of Cal Coolidge that eerie influence which seems to give him all the "breaks' and for want of a. better description mas been designated as Coolidge luck v is getting on the nerves of the demo- crats.
 They were talking it over the other day up at democratic head quarters. What could be done about it? Wasn't there some way oy which the freaks of fate which seem always to play into Coolidge's hands could be blocked?
 After these speculations had pro- ceeded fruitlessly for half an hour' one of the leaders, accepting as futile any effort to identify and way lay or kidnap the Coolidge good- luck charm, exclaimed:
 "Aw-whats the use chewing over

coolidge's luck? That doesn't get us anywhere. What we've got to do is find out what can help Davis. What does he need most"
 "IIl tell you," came the quick answer. He needs a rabbits foot
 We'll it's finally found. Not the rabbits foot, but perhaps the best available substitute for it; the dem ocratic answer to the G. o. ?. sto- gan of Keep Cool and Keep Cool idge."
 Submitted by diligent democrat from the republican stronghold or Pennsylvania, the new democratic slogan seems so simple it's wonder everyone hadn't thought of it be- fore. But, as always, it's the sim ple things that are most overlooked
 Anyway, for what it's wfth, here it is. The dem antidote for Keep Cool and Keep Coolidge IS Keep Cool and Can Coolidge"
 Is the silver scare" of 1896, when William J. Bryan made his first race for the presidency to be revived in this year of 1924 when Bills broth CT, Charley, is carrying the vice. presidential end of the democratic kite?
 Folks down east scent some such political connection in the action or the treasury department in putting hack into circulation several millions of the huge and heavy old cart wheel" silver dollars which have lain for years deep down in the treasury vaults.
 Through the west silver dollars never have lost favor as circulat- ing medium. Any kind of dollars there have been most welcome.
 But down east. where trousers are held Up by belts instead of sls- penders, hard cold cash is a handi- cap, It's too heavy, causes an un- slightly sag at the waist-line and 9 disagreeable weight In the pocket.
 Largely because of this physical objection to them, cart wheel dollars have been almost unknown here- abouts for years. Crisp new paper dollars. or even paper dollars not crisp and new, have been preferred and provided. Silver dollars east of the Alleghenies have been vir- | t,IalIv non-existent. The few thai | did bob up from time to time | brought in by visitors from the west were regarded as curiosities. Now. however, right on the eve of Charley Bryan's notification, the east is deluged with silver dollars. Immediately the "silver cam paign" of the older Bryan is re. called. The east, which didn't like that campaign any better than il likes silver dollars. at once "smell' [ a mouse"
 "Humph! Bryan and silver! W' don't like silver. Therefore,
 Either somebody in the treasury i mighty foxy. or else he pulled thu neatest accident in political psy shology the nation ever knew.

Prosperity Is Based
 on U. $. Agriculture

Chicago, Aug. 26.-Elmer $. Landes, member of the federal farm loan board addressed the American Association of joint stock land banks at a banquet which closed the associations annual meeting. In his theme, 'our na- tional rural credit system," he em- phasized the point that civilization and the worlds business are de- pendent on agriculture and that the United States lead the world in agricultural production.
 Agriculture" he said, requires more than one-fourth of our gain fully-efnployed population and they produce one-ffth Of the national income.
 The speaker described the means by which the federal credits act of 1923 enabled many farmers to struggle through the hard times that are just passing.
 pr. David Friday. Washington, D.. C. economist, and former presi- dent of the Michigan Agricultural college, declared that American ag- riculture has just turned the corner.
 Tt is the final turn to the right that leads out of the slough of de- pression onto the highroad of pros- perity," he asserted.
