PAY RELIEF UNLIKELY

Policemen. firemen and public school

who. because of the failure of
Congress to pass the second urgent

This was stated today by spokes-

that while President Coolidge sym

thing bordering upon natlonai
calamity or emergency for him to
call an extra session.
The pay loss is being experienced
by the half hundred members or the
White House police force. The PreSl-
dent signed the Oil last "eth du tuoi

employees and as he laid his pen aside
thought the matter was settled.
1t was intimated that representa-

This feature of the ill-fated urgent

Jesus wore on the day of His cruel

century the coat was concealed from
invaders In the crypt Of the church,

exhibited In 1876. 1t was not shown
again until 1912, when, owing to the
vast crowds that focked to see 1t,
Pope Leo X decreed that 1t should be

1t is said that in 1914 the
coat was viewed by one million pill
