ECONOMY PLEA
 VIEWED ASHIlNT
 OF BONUS VETO
Coolidge Expresses Agree rnent With BOrah On
 Tax Issues

WASHINGTON, April 26.- (By As sociated Press - Endorsement by President Coolidge today of the views expressed in the Senate Tuesday by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, op- posing large governmental expenditures and bonus legislation. streng gRhened many persons in Washington in their belief that Mir. Coolidge will veto the soldier bonus bll.
 The President, discussing with visi- tors today his declaration in his Asso- ciated Press address against determined assaults by organized minorities on the public treasury, reiterated his fre- quently made plea for economy, calling attention to Senator Borah's address.
 Agrees With Borah
 Mir. Coolidge told his callers that he regarded the views of Senator Borah as outlined in his address as fundamen- tally sound and the result of logical conclusions. He made it plain that his endorsement of Senator Borah's dec larations was general and not applica- bleS to the senator's discussion of any particular bill, but his remarks were interpreted by many of his callers as meaning that he stood with Mir. Borah in opposition to the bonus bill.
 The statement of the Presidents views today was the nearest approach to q definition of his position on bonts legislation since his Lincoln day address in New York in which he declared his opposition to bonus as a matter of principle. regardless of the form it might take.
 Indications developed during the day that the paid-up insurance bill prob ably would reach the White House within a. week.
 The Senate conference committee. was appointed and arrangements were made for meeting Monday with the House conferees.
 Machinery Ready
 Regardless of whether the President signs the bill or vetoes it only to have 1t passed oyer his veto, as many men- bers of Congress predict will be done m event, Of, veto, government ma chinery will be found prepared to un. dertake administration of the act. The job to be done under the act will re- quire the closest scrutiny of the in- davidual war records of nearly six million soldiers, sailors and marines. and every effort is being made in all government departments to plan for the rapid execution of what is un- dodbtedly one of the greatest clerical undertakings upon which the govern ment has ever embarked.
 Director Hines of the Veterans bu- reau, which will. be the office of actual Issue of the proposed adjusted com pensation payments whether in the form of cash or insurance, said today his plans had been perfected and the bureau machine was ready to function whenever the necessary data became available from the military depart ments.

Former Chamberlain to Emperor

As rule the gentlemen attached directly to His Majesty show q fair average of ability, knowledge and character. But Neu- mann is far below the level His ap- pointment came as surprise to all. He isSa nervous, easily frightened man who, has narrow views and limited in telligence, and who has the peculiar habit of suddenly lowing and kissing His Ma56sty's hand, without rhyme or reason.
 Hesused to do this when he was an officer in the guards and if was due to this, that the Emperior first began to notice him. Several gentlemen told him it was not the proper or dignified thing, that it was entirely too Asiatic. But, with utter naivette, the ma jor replied that now he had started doing 1t and let himself in for it., how was he, possibly able to stop it?
 Even Prince Dohna has objected to it, though he, in charge of the. hunting at Rominten, trained the serpnnt$ to kiss his Majesty's hand when they en- tered the imperial presence and, for instance, brought news of stag hav- ing been sighted. Not long ago Prince Dohna asked the Emperor's permis- sion to decorate the cows at his Schlo- bitten estate with the same. sort of bells which are used for the Emperor s cows -at Rominten, and he quite de. served the Emperor's caustic reply:
 Really, don't give "a curse what variety of bells you prefer to string about your cattle's necks!''

Sharks Hide Valuable

A valuable part Of the ~man-eatine
shark is the skin. The thin outer skin
is removed by a secret process. and
when dried it has a remarkable hard
ness, and is used by cabinet-makers
for giving polish to hard woods, ivory
and so on.
The inner skin is tanned so car
fully that it eventually yields a water
proof, non-cracking leather. Different
parts of the skin give different shades
of color, and the tanning process sue
ceeds in preserving these dark greens
and browns so that shoes, travelling
bags, purses, belts and similar articles
made Of the skin have quite a hand
appearance.
