Now did the acting Chairman proceed

Government does send such information
1t is only for the purpose of the Chair
man notifying the members elected of
the time of the meeting Of the Ccun-

does not give the members elected no.
tIce or timely notice, but when the Mem
berS appea with their letters of election
when this item on the Order Of the
Day is called, the acting Chairman is
bound to allow the same to be examined,
and ii he refuses, his is the fault, and
he cannot excuse himself that the Coun-
eli voted for it, as he had no right to put
It to the vote of the Council, and the
Councils vote is therefore vaIueless be-
ing IN violation oil the Rules of Bust
ness. AS long as the Colonial Law has
existed and up 10 the time when the Is
lands were coded to the United States
the Examination of Patents were put on
the Oder of the Day in the following
terms: "~Production OF and Examination
OF Patents OF Election for the newly
elected half ct Members for the Colo.
MAI CUunclI". This includes therefore
both members elected by rhe people and
those elected by the King. Those Mem
hers VINO then appear and produce their
Patents have d right to have these eX-
amineG. This matter Of Examination it is
the duty Of the acting chairmau eX ofticlO
to put on the Order OF the Day as
first Item according 10 the Rules o. Bust
ness. his is also in conformity with
the nalure and sensible understanding
Of he.matter, namely that the new Mem
Ders shall have the right 70 partake in
tie voting for Chairman and on all other
matters before the Council, but this
right they might be easily deprived OF, If
Ii were admissible for the Chairman or
the Council to delay TOE examination.
1t is not either quite correct, when the
Chairman stated thar under The Danish
administration the Governor was not
represented in the Council. Ii may be,
that there were times when they were
not present, FOR it is not generally very
Interesting to be present at these cleo
tons Of Officers, bat it certainly IS also
true, mat the Governor on his Represen-
tatiVe did d times be present under these

A good story is told In Tamworth
Warwickshire, England, whence came
originally the famous Tamworth herd
Of swine. During the year 1905 gen

an inn trotting mare, when butcher
OF the town, stepping up. offered to
trot his black pony against her fol

only notice he at first received. How

was accepted, and the next morning
appointed for the match, four miles
out of the town. The butcher appeared
at the starting post mounted on his
black pony with his tray In front OF

Immediately afterward, as his competi-

STICKING BY
THE JOB
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean Of Men, University of
Illinois.

THE house in which am living was
built more than twenty-five years
ago. and not badly built either, but as
go around 1t / can still find things
that were not quite finished. There Is
a strip of molding in the bathroom
that Is only lightly tackled on; shelf
10 missing from one Of the closets;
nall Is only half driven into the base
board, or something is left just short
OF finishing. The whistle had blown
Tor the noon hour, the clock had struck
SIX, or for some reason or other the
workman had been called away from
the Job, and he had forgotten that any
thing had been left incompleted. It
would have been better II he had stuck
by his job until 1t was finished.
Ill come back In few days." the
painter who was painting the front
porch, said two years ago, "and touch
up the back steps little. They need
second coat. Just now l must go
over to the Sheldon house. They want
to move in" I've never seen him
since, and the paint is wearing very
thin on the back steps.
The electrician who hung the lantern
over our front door broke one Of the
strips of glass in doing so. He could
easily repair 1t, he said; there was
plenty Of glass like It In his shop.
He'd look after 1t next day. It has
been hanging there for weeks and the
Job Is not yet done.
Jacobs was gone this summer. He
had not had real vacation for ten
years, so he took his wife and family
and spent three months visiting the
home Of his ancestors across the
sOcean. They had wonderful time
but Jacobs says he's never going away
again until he retires from business.
Il haven't any doubt" he explained
to me, "that when stop they'll get
someone to look after things quite as
we'll, II not better than I do, but 30 |
long as l draw the salary, I suppose
I'm expected to take the responsibility.
AZ long as you have job, it's better
to stick to 1t. It'll take me three
years to correct all the things that
were bungled or neglected or done
wrong while l was gallivanting about
Europe. As long as q jobs yours
you'd better look after 1t, I say"
The Tau Kappas started out with
fine group Of men and with admir-
able enthusiasm. They had ideals,
they showed energy, they did their
work admirably; but that was at the
beginning, as said. They have been
dumping lately; they are letting 90 at
loose ends; they are not sticking by
the job.
1t takes persistence to stick by Job
until it Is finished, to see that all the
nails are driven, and the tag ends tied
up, and the last detail looked after.
It's the way man ought to want to
do his work, whether It IL house he

The return of velveteen into the
modes for children as well as
grown-ups is a great advantage to
thrifty mothers. Velveteen Is liked
better in combination with other ma
terials than by itself and this makes
1t particularly useful for remodeling
frocks or coats. Little girls have a
way Of growing lengthwise at the rate
Of several inches a year and frocks
become too short long before they are
worn out. In this case wide velve-
teen border set on the skirt, and bands
added to the sleeves, as shown in the
picture, prolong the usefulness Of the
frock and double it's service.
Velveteen skirts with cloth over
blouses or velveteen jackets with, cloth
skirts, are popular combinations for
little girls and plaid fabrics are used
with plain velveteen In many way1.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, March 16- Bob" Martin, kingpin fighter of Uncle Sam's several millions of fighting men during tue World War, is prepared to engage in the favorite pastime of "haSbeens" in the sporting fraternity-a come back"
 Martin, champion Heavyweight of the A. E. F. and shortly after the war a contender for the champion ship, thinks he is ready again to en- ter the ring, after a layOff necesSitat- ed by impaired vision. He is under going treatment by skilled surgeons, who believe they can cure the ail- ment.
 | Shortly after his enforced retire ment Martin enlisted in the West Virginia State police force as a pri- vate, but in a few months he won a corporars stripes. Leading an active outdoor life, Martin improved won derfully in health.
 Recently he resigned and an nounced his intention of donning the padded mitts again. Paradoxically enough, his last act, before turning in his police badge to rejoin the ranks of professional fighters, was to halt an amateur fight at Orlando w.

BALLOON TIRES BE
 PUT ON FORD CARS

Probably the most important news in automobile circles during the last week was the announcement that balloon tires are to be furnished as optional equipment on all types of Ford cars.
 This is probably the greatest rec ognition given balloons since their introduction on the market, and should prove an impetus to their popularity.
 The Ford Motor Company has long been interested in balloon tires and has been carrying on experi- ments with them for some time. It's decision to supply ballons comes only after severe tests which, cou- pied with the good results obtained by individual owners, have proven these tires to be thoroughly practi cal for Ford cars.
 To compensate for no harder steer ing with balloon tires, a, special steer ing gear with greater reduction will be installed on all cars carrying these tires.
 Balloons to be furnished for new Ford cars will be of standard sixe 29x- 4.40, straight side and mounted on wood wheels. This equipment will be available at comparatively small ad ditional cost to the new car purchaser
 Arrangements also have been made for providing dealers with balloon tire equipment so that any Ford car own CT desires to do so can change over from high pressure tires.
 Distribution of the new balloon tire equipment has been made to For( dealers and is now available to pres ent and prospective Ford owners.

BEET GROWERS AND BUYERS
 UNABLE TO GET TOGETHER

DENVER, Col, Mar. 16.-Dead- locked after six days deliberation, representatives of beet growers and buyers of the Rocky mountain re- zion last night abandoned attempts to reach a compromise on the 1925 beet price contract and there was ment of the controversy would be reached.
 Representative of northern Colo rado commercial organizations, play ing the role of meditators between the Great Western Sugar company and the Mountain States Beet Grow ers' association, left last night for their homes, admitting failure to ne- gotiate an amicable settlement
 With the price dispute as the crux of the controversy, it is understood the growers representatives at the conference reduced it's original de- mands for an increase of $1.60 in the sliding scale to 50 cents ton. This increase of 50 cents was met by the company's proposal to pay that much of an advance over it's present contract if it's production reached S,500,000 bags a year. The growers representative however, insisted on the increase becoming effective re- gardless of the size of the company's output.
 Fred Cummings of Fort Collins, Colo, president of the growers or ganization, declared that the land intended for sugar beets probably would be planted to wheat. He
