, school holidays. There is, however,
this proviso, provided, however, that
on these two days, Lincoln's birthday
and Washington's birthday, exercises
appropriate to commemorate the
memories of Abraham Lincoln and
George Washington shall be held in
the public schools at some time in the
afternoon
comment on this law carried in the
Wisconsin Journal of education saws
"the remaining portion of these two
days may be further honored and OBJ
served by the dismissal of the pupils
the same as in the case of other school
holidays, but the public exercises must
be held at some time in the afternoon"
Can't Drop Out Morning.
Under the law it would b possible
to omit the morning session and call
school merely for the patriotic pro-
gram in the afternoon. This, however,
those in charge of the school admin
istration feel would not be practical.
The attendance would be Eshot to
pieces, there would be countless abb
sences and the day from the teachers
point of We'd would be spoiled
This year Washington's birthday
comes upon Friday and many teachers
whose homes are in other cities had
looked forward to weekend that be-
gan Thursday night.
"Our legislators seem to have for
gotten the days of their childhood"
said one person discussing the new
law this morning, there is no way
+bot Io
on a child's mind as a person of dis
tinction and worthy of affection and
respect, so much as by giving holi-
day on that day"
Assistant City Attorney r. P Cava-
nagh advised the board that the new
law was mandatory, and there appear
ed to be no practical solution except
by having the one day session followed
by an afternoon program of patriotic
exercises.

Ossining, N. Yin the course of an
arraignment of public officials, past
and present, Frank Vanderlip, inancier,
in Rosary tluj Tisass last iiieHe
criticized the sale OF "a certain Marion
newspaper"
"A certain Marion newspaper sold
for $55O,000 when it was well known TO
everyone that it was not worth half
that sum-" he said.
"Two young men Of no financial
standing purchased it. Everybody in
Washington, including the newspaper
correspondents, knows this, but no one
wants to look under the edge of
shroud
"Where did the money come from?
Where did it go? These are matters
of public interest. The last admins
tration stands challenged. We cannot
wait for congress or the courts, espe-
cially when we remember that Mr..
Daugherty is Encouragement"
Then the banker whirled into the Tea
pot Dome scandal. 1t attacked Sena-'
Walsh's associates on the senate inves-
tigating committee, saying several Of
them were undesirable investigators of
any moral question.
Hits at McAdOO.
"McAdoo testified" he went on, chat
he was only acting as a reputable at
torney for reputable client in the
oil matter, but like any boy with stolen
jam he dropped that client Immediately
after DE client had testified before the
investigating committee. The senate
did not go further in investigating Sec
rotary Fall because Fall was ready to
peach and what he would have said
would have gone into high places.
They didn't dare"
"There were other national scandals
even more fragrant than Teapot Dome"
Mr.. Vanderlip added, and declared the
Veterans Bureau has spent over $780,
600 belonging to wounded veterans and
that the shipping board had spent mill
lions in the previous administration
which if not dishonest, was incred-
IDLY stupid" He called upon President
Coolidge to demand the resignation Of
Secretary. DENLY "and every other Off
cial besmirched in the public mind"

Washington, D. c. 49, Another up
set in President Coolidge's plans for
prosecution of the oil lease suits
seemed in prospect today as both the
senate and its oil committee resumed
consideration of the leasing muddle.
Advised by Republican senators that
Silas H. Strawn of Illinois probably
could not be confirmed as special gov
eminent counsel, The president took
under advisement a proposal to with
draw his name and nominate James
R. Garfield of Ohio in his place.
Opposition also developed to Atlee
Pomerene of Ohio, the other attorney
selected by Mr. Coolidge, and it APP
peared possible that his name, too,
would be recalled.
On the senate floor Senator Robin
son, Democrat, Arkansas, replied to
the presidents recent statement on
Secretary DENLY and asserted that
drive out of Office all of those con-
nected with the leasing transactions.
Hear of Payments.
The oil committee heard further
testimony regarding the payments
made by Harry F. Sinclair to a group
in Denver which had asserted con-
f1icting claims to portions of Teapot
Dome Karl c. Schuyler, Denver at
torney, telegraphed the committee in
the inquiry, and he was asked to bring
it to Washington.
John leo Sts@k, the Colorado oil
operator, who was a member of the
Denver group, was ss-questioned at
length about the motives behind the
negotiations with Sinclair. He also
contributed an assertion that officials
of the Pioneer company, Standard
Oil subsidiary, had told him a week
before Teapot was leased that Sinclair
was to get the contract.
Mcclellan Demands Indictments.
President Coolidge's New York
| speech, in which he referred to the
oil disclosures led Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, Tennessee. to make a re-
newed demand in the senate for im>
mediate court action. The senator
said Mr.. Coolidge's promise of prose-
cutions would be approved by every
one, and then aided:
Everybody lows that Doheny and
sinclair DflDeQ I all ana LnaC all &C
copied the brides, and yet no indict-
ment has been found against any of
tn, three. Why the delay? The dis
trict attorney should move at once.
Every one nows there is ample
ground for indictment"
Without extended debate the SEN
ate adopted two resolutions by Senator
Dill, Democrat, Washington, asking
the state department for correspond
ence relating to oil concessions in
foreign countries. One related speci-
fically to the Colombian treaty, which
lay in pigeon hole for many months
and was ratified in 1921 after Secre-
tary Fall had urged it.
In the house Representative letters,
Democrat, Alabama, renewed his
charges of irregularities in connec-
tion with the income tax payments of
Harry F. Sinclair and Edward L. Do
heny. Republicans objected that Mr..
LETTERS had refused to say on what
specific grounds his charges were
based, and he replied that if a spe-
cial investigation committee were Gre
ated he would produce proof that there
is graft and rottenness" in the treas
ury department

KEEPING WELL
SCARLET FEVER
DIR. FREDERICK n. GREEN
Editor OF "HEALTH"s

CUARLET FEVER is enc of the few
~ diseases which battle the scientist.
Efforts to ascertain its cause have
been unsuccessful. although recent in
vestigations and experiments give hope
that we may soon have specific
treatment.
The germs which cause the disease
are apparently present IN the tonsils.
the blood. the lymphatic glands, and
on the mucous membrane of the
mouth. nose and throat.
There is, at present. no cure for
scarlet fever Once 1t has attacked a
person, there is no curing it. 1t will
run it's course. 1t is comparatively
rare among grown people and chill
dren over ten years of age; among
young children. however, it is highly
tagious. 1t is widespread over the
entire world but Is more prevalent In
temperate climates than in hot parts
of the world.
Efforts to combat scarlet fever are
handicapped because the cause of the
disease is not known; because we
have no direct method of controlling
it; and because many mild cases are
not recognized and consequently are
not treated and quarantined as scarlet
fever.
II your child suddenly feels tired
and out of sorts, If he has a
fever, chill, or convulsions, or if he
vomits, If the tongue is coated. If he
complains of a sore throat. especially
If these symptoms are followed by a
rash. keep him away from other peo-
pie and call your doctor. Then do as
he directs in regard to quarantine, dis
infection. and after care. HeAvill tell
you VIXEN 1t is safe to let your child
again nmngle with other children. Dc
as you would like TO have other par
ents do To keep your children well
you must help to keep other peoples
children well.

CHARLES MACRAE
ALABOR LEADER
Harangues Crowd of Young Men
at Railway Station in a
Nebraska Town
HOBOED HIS WAY WEST

a month ago Charles Mac
Rae Of Fayetteville, a student
in the University, was leading
a peaceful life in Chapel Hill,
managing Mrs. Battles board
ing house and, in his spare
time, sparkling about with the
youngest and prettiest of the
Summer School students. Last
week he was standing on a
goods-box at the railway station
in Osceola, Nebraska, harangu-
ing a party of youths just ar
rived from the East and urg-
ing them to stick out for wages
of S4 day as farm workers.
This is how it came about:
One day, as he sat in the
shade OF tree on the campus,
he read in a newspaper that
able-bodied men could get Sc or
81 a day working in the wheat
fields of the Middle West. It
set him thinking. He was get
ting a bit fed up on summer
life in Chapel Hill. Perhaps
who knows? ?-his dissatisfaction
sprang from the fact that some
one of the passing beauties did
not smile on him. Perhaps
and this is not impossible, be-
cause he is known for his good
looks and winning manners
TOO many of them smiled too
easily. Perhaps the heads he
saw were too bobbed-perhaps
too empty-perhaps too full of
learning. AS to all that, nobody
can tell. Anyway, the wander
fever suddenly seized him. He
sought out his two kinsmen.
John Lamb and Sam MacRae,
and soon had infused the same
malady into them.
They set out for the West

County Rate $1.10


The tax rate in Orange county
for this year will be the same as
last years, $1,1O. This was de-
cided by the county commissions
ers at their last meeting.
Just what effect the decision
will have upon the county school
budget is not yet known, but GER
tainly the revenues, from this
rate, will not enable the commits
sloners to grant the $l30,OOO
asked for by the county board of
education. But, since the total
assessed valuation Of the proper
ty in the county is greater than
last year, there should be some
increase over the $4,000 grant
ed to the schools in 1923.
The situation with regard to
the school appropriation is puz-
zIlng even to the citizens who are
best informed about these mat
ters. The commissioners appro-
we'd the $4,000 budget; then.
at their meeting last week they
rescinded their approval in or
der to keep the rate no higher
Than it was last year. There is
q report that one Of the commits
sloners heard a member of the
education board say that the
board exceeded their appropria-
ton last year by about $4,000
and asked for enough this year
to make up that deficit.
