Almost q Billion Failed to Help
Farmers

Harding wanted to bring the farm
back to normalcy." tried to but
could not. There Is no illustration
more vivid of the fact that funda-
mental conditions, such as the post
war evolution of industry. are deter
mined, not by politics. nor by poll
ticians. nor by politicians slogans.
but by natural and economical
forces: that the law of these forces
is inexorable and will work its re-
suits in spite of all the politician can
do. There Is no recent illustration
of this law more vivid than the story
of what the Harding and Coolidge
administration tried to do for the
farmer. and the fact that today. as
that administration comes to an end,
the farmer is in large part in as bad
condition as when the administration
came in.
The effort of the Harding adminia-
tratiOn to help the farmer WAS con-
slant throughout It's entire term.
Throughout the last three and n half
years, there has been no period of six
months during which the administra-
ton was free from n consciousness

minstration worked on the problem.

Some Famous Doll Houses

Descriptions of Queen Marys doll
house, made to be exhibited for
charity in London. have attracted
wide attention among the master toy
makers of Nuremberg, Germany.
The house is said to be the most
perfect structure of its kind ever
put together.
Sketches Of many Of the famous
doll houses of history are on file at
Nuremberg, some of them dating
back to the sixteenth century. One
of the best known was that built at
Amsterdam for Peter the Great. He
Is said to have agreed to pay the
artist 10000 gulden for the eight
room house. completely furnished and
with wax figures dressed in the
fashion of the time.
: When the work was finished he
refused to accept It. The cars
ambassador to Holland purchased the
house and kept it many years. Upon
the ambassadors departure from
Holland the house was turned over
to the Dutch government and now IS
in the state museum at Amsterdam.
Perhaps the most famous doll
house of all was the property of
Louis XIV. 1t was made entirely of
silver and its completion required the
services of many artists for years.
In later years the royal doll house
went into the melting pot to pay
some of the rulers debts.

Five Lose Lives
In Breaking of Dam
In Tennessee River

Bristol. Ta.,-Tenn.. Dec. o4.-Five
lives were lost and great damage
was done to property near Saltville.
Va. tonight when a dam on the
north fork of the Holster river
broke. according to telephone ad-
vices received here by the Bristol
Herald Courier.
Seven houses in the vicinity OF the
Mathieson Alkali Works were said
to have been washed away and
scores OF persons had narrow escapes
from death.
Telephone operators at Arlington
and other places in the vicinity were
kept busy notifying persons in the
danger zone of the break. Heavy
rains with the consequent increas-
ed pressure on the dam is believed
to have caused the break.
TIL dam gave way about 10 o'clock
and what was described as wall of
water" descended without warning
on those dwellings situated near the
river banks. Those caught by the
swiftly moving waters were picked
up and carried down stream in their
homes.
