4, 1919, when the Republican, ware
pondering whether or not to conduct
killing filibuster against the Vic
tory loan bill. Senator Bob talked
for hours. He launched a serio-
comic diatribe against the evils OF,
conference reports. Senator Thomas
reminded La Toilette that 1t was
through conference reports that hs
secured the adoption of TWO of his
pet measures-the physical valuation
of railroads and the seamen's acts.
Il thank the Senator for the inter-
ruption," smiled La Toilette; "lt re-
minds me that 1 want to speak a few
hours on those two measures"
The galleries howled with delight.
The chair threatened to clear the
galleries.
Il thank the chair for that" smiled
La Toilette; 1T reminds me that I
| want to speak a few hours on tho
rule about clearing the galleries"
And SO it went, until at last the
organization" sent word the Victory
loan could pass, and La Toilette sat
down.
When he quit public life March 4.
Secretary of State Hughes left a num-
Der OF records behind him, but none
| more remarka BILE than the fact that
lie ONCE he talked freely with news
paper men twice a day and never
once got into hot water. For four
years Mr.. Hughes was Governor Of
New York, and at Albany he always
saw the correspondents twice daily
He continued the practice during his
four years as Secretary of State. Here
in Washington, at the head of the
department OF foreign relations, the
and difficult one, for seldom was there
time at the press interviews that
foreign correspondents were not also
present, and whatever Mr.. Hughes
had to say was cabled abroad and
subjected to the various interpreta-
tions of the countries coHcerned. In
farewell message sent to the Wash
ington correspondents Mr.. Hughes has
said:
Il want to thank you for your uni
form courtesy. l have appreciated, of
course. the necessity of keeping you
informed on matters as far as I could.
I have frequently said that If could
serve my own wishes l should like to
get on the houstop every morning and
proclaim to the world everything that
is being done and thought of. 1 am
happy to say we have not had any
deep laid schemes. The work of the
State Department requires an in
structed public opinion. 1t also re-
quires an appreciation of the pos
sibility of mischance by premature
announcements, through misunder-
standings on the part of the public.
We also have the great difficulty that
we cannot talk TO ourselves. We have
domestic questions, but not domestic
consultations because everything goes
around the world, and there are no
press Enclosures at the three-nile
limit. l have considered you my un-
official observers, my unofficial asso-
ciates and cola borators, and permit
me to express my sense of indebted
ness to you and the hope that we will
meet often in the future"

Japan May Tax Radios.

The Japanese department of finance
going over the list of imports to come
under the heavy luxury tariff" has
decided that radio receivers and ac-
cessories shall be included in the list
This means that these articles will be
charged 100 per cent duty, instead OF
the present 20 per cent Authorities
are worried lest the new ruling, II
carried into practice, seriously inter
fsre with the popularization of broad
casting and hinder progress of the
radio in japan.

the world. It is in the Dominican
cloister, carefully mounted in a case
in one of the corridors. The book is
made up of parchment leaves mount
ed on thin wooded borders On the
parchment is maintained a death list
of the cloister. The first entry was
made in 1910, but even this date is
1S4 years more recent than the date
of the cloister. for this home of Do
minican monks was founded in 1928,
under the Babenbergers.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHH.ANDER JOHNSON

Here.
I'm here today
This is enough
To leave me gay,
Though life seems rough,
AS motor cops
Bid travellers halt
And traffic stops
For some new fault.
The income tax
/ figured out
But can't relax
My state of doubt.
Yet joy draws near
And must prevail.
Today I'm here
And not in Jail.
