IatiVe Program.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

SEVAMPSCOTT, Mass, July IS
President Coolidge has really sur
prised the newspaper men and his
OWE encourage by turning his 'vaca-
tinn" into an opportunity to catch up
with a lot of accumulated work.
Although it was expected that the
President would see few people, the
fact is his Offices at Lynn are busy
and his own desk at White Court is
piled with official papers and he IS
making engagements to see his cabi-
net and members of Congress.
Outline To Guide Coolidge.
senator Curtis of Kansas, Republi-
can leader, has arranged 10 see the
President on Monday. Two members
of the Cabinet-the Secretary of State
and the Secretary of Labor-have
been here and others are coming in
the next few weeks.
While it is early to make up a legis-
latiye program. Senator Curtis has
some general ideas on what can and
cannot be accomplished in the next
session. and Mr.. Coolidge will be
guided by the outline given him.
First OF all. both the President and
the Kansas Senator are agreed that

BERLIN. July 1S-The revaluation
law signed by President Won Hinden-
burg apparently satisfies nobody, al
though it is generally admitted by the
press, with the exception of the Left
organs, that the president could not
have acted otherwise.
1t is recalled that he and his brother
and sister lost their entire inherited
fortune by the courts financial de-
bacle, and his friends point out that
by signing the bill he has definitely
buried any hope Of regaining his own
fortune.
While the bill is so complicated that
few understand all it's implications, it
briefly provides for the exchange of
war loan securities and pre-war Ger
man government bonds held by Ger
man and foreign subscribers for a new
loan.
The loans are revalued at 21a per
cent, both in the case of holders before
July /, 1920, and those who obtained
their securities after that date.
However, those purchasing the
bonds before the specified date and
who are in particularly needy circum-
stances will be given a small rental,
not exceeding 500 marks annually.
All mortgages on landed property,
and debts on shipping and railway
lines are revalued at 25 per cent,

property can show that he was hard

FINDS WAY TO KILL
GERMS OF SMALLPOX
British Doctor Also Makes New
Discoveries About Other Dis
ease Microbes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 1S.-An important
report on an inquiry into the virus of
smallpox, says the Daily Mail. will
be published shortly by the Medical
Research Council. The report is the
work of DR.. Mervyn H. Gordon. con-
sulting bacteriologist of st. Bartholo-
news Hospital, London, who has
been conducting experiments in behalf
of the council in the laboratory of the
hospital.
DR.. Gordon started, according to the
Mail, with an investigation into a
process for handling the virus of cow
pox, which is used for vaccination
against smallpox. 1t Is stated that he
found a method for killing the virus
and studied it's action, alive and dead,
in comforting protection against IN
lection.
The recent prevalence of smallpox
in parts of England supplied an op-
portunity for comparing the virus of
this disease with cowpoX virus, sam
pies from four different outbreaks of
smallpox being investigated.
DIR. Gordon's report is described as
further calculating the role of minute
microbes which are invisible under
powerful microscopes, but which are
known to cause a large number of
diseases.

ernment more in rents for leases in
some cases than if the Government
had built its own anneXeS.
There was too little time to put a
public buildings measure through
Congress last time A filibuster would
have killed the bill had it been pressed
for consideration. The Democrats,
moreover. were bitterly opposed to
placing the discretion in the hands of
the Treasury Department as to what
buildings should be constructed, as it
was supposed the Republican districts
would be given the benefit of most of
the money appropriated, while the
Democratic districts would suffer.
Some compromise plan that will elm
mate as much of the political ele-
ment as possible will have to be de-
vised to win support for the public
buildings measure, as it is one of the
easiest bills to attack, and the Pro
gressives with the Democrats can to-
gether raise considerable fuss II 1t is
a palpable political affair.
Speaking of filibusterS, Senator
Curtis is not particularly happy over
the attack which Vice President
Dawes has been making on him and
other Senators who favor the pres
ent rules of the Senate. Still, it would
not be surprising If the Vice Presi-
dent made filibustering more unpopu-
lar than it ever has been. Should q
filibuster develop, 1t will place the
burden of responsibility on men like
Senator Curtis to invoke the present
cloture rules or advocate an amend
ment to the rules which will deprive
a few men of their chance to block
legislation.

PRANK ON PEASANTS
GETS PRIEST In JAIL
Devil" Which Scared Simple
Russian Folk, Imprisoned
With Officials.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.


MINSk, June 25.-An amazing
trial illustrating the ignorance and
superstition of the Russian peasantry
recently was held in this district. In
order to increase the income OF the
village priest and to strengthen his
authority over the local peasantry a
group of village parishioners resolved
to frighten the peasantry with the
pretense Of real devil in the
village.
A village boy was dressed up to
resemble a devil. During the night
he went to the village dwellers to
frighten them. He was instructed to
carry out secretly slight damages to
peasants property. This went on for
several months, and the ignorant
peasants took it all in earnest, as a
penalty for their sins. They flocked
to the church, induced the priest to
hold special services and organized
common prayers and religious process
SionS.
A special commission had to be sent
from the district town to investigate
the peasants troubles, which were
brought to an end only by the arrest
of the devil" The priest and the
local authorities We're placed on trial
and sentenced to many years tmpris-
onment.

Puzzle Day

A man had thirty-one plants. He
set them in a flower bed and so ar.
ranged them that he had Is plants
in one large circle; 7 smaller circles,
each with 6 plants; 6 straight rows
with 6 plants in each row, and 3
straight rows with 5 plants in each
row.
How did he arrange the plants?
Last puzzle answer:
When A and B each deposited
three dollars, and agreed that who
ever won three games OF pool should
receive the total sum of six dollars,
but consented to a division In proper
shares when A had won two games,
and B one, they made the following
division; A received $3.50; B, $3.50.
Offhand, 1t would appear that A
should receive 81 and b 50, a pro-
portion to two to one. But the orig
inal agreement involved the winning
Of three games. Therefore, when
the games stood two to one in AS
favor, he would take in Sc If he won
the next game; while If he lost the
next game, A and B would be even,
and each would be entitled TO 49,.
AS each Of these cases was prob
able, A was entitled to half Of these
sums taken together, namely, one
half Of 50. which Is $3.50.
