latter body, over period of six years before he came to this city in 1895. has been active principally as head of cotton manufacturing in- terests since that time. His inter- ests also included power and rail- way companies.
 The naming of Mir. Butler by Gov ernor Cox was not unexpected. The only other person prominently men toned in connection with the senate vacancy was B. Loring Young. speaker of the Massachusetts house of representatives who stood aside from the contest for the republican nomination for U, s. senator in op. position to David l. Walsh, demo- crnt, in the primaries this fall.
 The governor made no statement in announcing the appointment. Summoning the state house news paper representatives to his office, he said:
 "Gentlemen, believe l have no surprise. am now signing the com mission of William M. Butler to the U. S. senate"
New Britain herald., 1924-11-13

Washington. Nov 1S.-- Word of the appointment of William M. But Ter as senator from Massachusetts was received with undisguised np- proval today by the White House.
 Throughout his service as repub- lican field marshal ih the presidents campaign, MT. Butler worked in close cooperation with President Coolidge, and his selection to the senate is regarded as adding 10 the membership of that body an unfail- ing supporter of administration policies and an adviser to whom the president can turn trustfully when he seeks counsel on major questions of legislation.
 The selection was expected among those close to Mir. Coolidge. There has been no outward indication that such a choice was advised from Washington but 1t was no secret that among the presidents most in- innate friends Butler was favored for the place made vacant by the death of Senator Lodge.
 Unusual interest was taken here in the appointment both because the vacancy was in the presidents home state, and because of Buffers posi- tlon as chairman of the republican national committee and his intimate association with the presidents poll cies.
 For these reasons the appoint ment is expected to have at least an indirect bearing on the question of selecting party leader in the sen ate In succession to Senator Lodge. There has been no suggestion that Butler, a new senator, will be ele- Hated to that post but his advice lln- doubtedly will be sought when the question of new alignment comes up for decision.

CORSETS ARE BACK
Madame Antoinette Says They Arc
Being Generally Worn Again.

The second of series of lectures
en- dress was given on the seventh
floor auditorium Of the Wolff and
Marx Company. Friday afternoon at
8 o'clock. Madame Antoinette, in
ternationaly known lecturer and au-
thority, spoke to large audience OF
interested women on the "Intimacies
OF Dress Madame Antoinette stated
that this season corsets have come
into their own, and she declares that
they are here to stay. Madame An
toinette explained how the wearing of
corsets helped the heavy woman by
making diet, over-exercise, and the
use of drugs unnecessary, because the
use of corsets make it possible for her
to relieve herself of abnormal lines.
Poise is cultivated, according TO
Madame Antoinette, by the proper Sc
lection of undertakings for the abdo-
men, bust and hips. The proper wear
ing of the modern, and carefully de-
signed corset helps the thin woman
to accentuate her good lines and to
hide the too conspicuous bones. Ma
dame Antoinette explained how the
proper use of corsets should do away
with the artificial and ungraceful
"slinky SLOUGH" which Milady has as
sumed. Saturday at 8 o'clock Madame
Antoniette will give a lecture on
Dress for the Business Woman" and
Monday she will speak on Dressing
on A Limited Income"

The entire city police and detective
department was pressed into service
Saturday by Mayor John W. Tobin in
an effort to capture the vandals who
have been pulling up trees and shrubs
planted on the San Pedro drive. FRI
day night, just after the Waterman had
gone off duty, some one stole tive
magnolia trees which had just been
planted. A few night before they
had stolen a number Of crepe myrtles.
Following the first theft Commits
sioner Ray Lambert placed two watch
men on duty. Friday night, however.
he used only one, letting him go off

1t is on the San Pedro drive that
Commissioner Lambert has planted
the memorial pecan trees donated by

ory to the San Antonio soldier dead.
The vandals. however, show no respect

chased the magnolias for the drive, Il

the most beautiful drive in the city.
Mayor Tobin and Commissioner
Lambert Saturday declared they will

BUSINESS NOT GOOD.
Demands For Wage Increases Ad-
vesseIy Affects Industries.

st. Louis. March 22.-Business con.
ditions in this territory have been
adversely affected by the interruption
to building activities which has fol-
lowed wage disputes in the building
trades. This influence is becoming
stronger, especially as result of the
demands by painters and paperhang-
ers for an increase to $1.50 an hour
and of added resistance by employers
to demands of other trades. The con-
tractors claim that wages here already
in other leading cities.
Wholesale dealers in STAPLE commo-
dities, however, report an increase in
the number of orders to replenish
stock. They expect the business of
the first half year 60 be up to normal
volume, although perhaps a trifle less
thar in 1923.

he did not insist on collecting. If he
failed to produce rain. no money was
to be paid. But before he started,
a contract had to be signed and the
$4,000 for four inches Of rain deposited
in the bank.
Because they faced losses Of a
couple million dollars in crops, farm
ers of the district were willing to try
out most any kind of rain-making
scheme. They paid Rain Maker
Hatfield's fare here from his home in
Los Angeles, signed the precipitation
price schedule he brought along, put
the $4,000 in the hank and then told
him to "go to it,"
"You can even wash out q few
bridges il you want to- they told
him.
Four days ago, the "rain maker"

he opened several mysterious boxes
and spread their contents around on

cast was received.

through the night rolled up the first
inch of rain and the second $1,000
probably will accrue to Mr.. Hatfield

$4,000 right now. The rain is covering

Chicago, March 2g.-Seven men,
