The Presidents power to remove
from office his own predecessors ap-
pointees was at issue in a case reach
ed for argument today in the Supreme
Court, with the executive and legis-
lative branches of the government
represented as contestants.
The case became one for construc-

to remove executive appointees to
Offices created by Congress when the
Senate iutervened in the appeal of
the late Frank S. Myers, who was
removed as postmaster at Portland,
Oregon, in 1920, by President Wilson.
Myers sued for back pay on the
ground that his removal was illegal
Prior to presenting argument today,
briefs forming the basis of their op-
posing contentious were filed by
solicitor General Beck for the Presf-
dent and Senator Pepper for the
Pepper Presents Brief.
Contending that Congress has full
power over all Government offices ex-
cept those created by the Constitu-
ton, Senator Pepper. in his brief, up
held the provision of law prescribing &
the consent of the Senate" as con-
dition of the Presidents removal of
first, second and third class post
masters. Congress, in creating an Of

Argument Time Doubled.
Recognizing the Importance of the
constitutional question presented. the
Supreme Court allowed counsel four
arguments. This is double the time
usually granted.
Judge Will r. King, counsel for
the executors of the estate of Frank
S. Myers, directed attention to the
death OF his client, and asked the
substitution of Lois P. Myers, the
widow of the former postmaster, as
appellant. Senator Pepper appeared
as counsel for the Senate.
Solicitor General Beck presented
argument in support of the conten-
ton that no limitation could be
placed by Congress upon the Presi-
dents powers over subordinates ap-
pointed by him.

Flan,es Of Happiness
That Need Neuer Die

/ always think of happiness as a
flame. / always have, all my life. It's
Just fancy Of mine, but It's as clear
as anything. Fire-a lighted fire
throwing gleam across the grayest
day, an indistinguishable fire. Be
cause, however 1t dies down, you can
hnd embers at the heart of its ashes
and build 1t up again with what you
have. Almost without knowing it, al
most In spite of yourself, you do just
that. You take what you have: love,
Of course, II you are one of the lucky
ones who have 1t, or friendship-any-
thing that means happiness to you.
Sometimes the fuel that comes to your
hand Is the JOY you have in your own
mind, In learning and thinking, in
books and plays and music. Sometimes
it's religion. Most people, after they're
older, keep 1t burning with work,
hard. clean work and the little things
that make 1t crackle-jokes and nom
sense and bits of singing and laugh
ing. Now and then, of course, you
pile 1t with the driftwood Of your am
bitions, and your dreams shoot up and
up It's a fire that costs you some
thing, happiness; but you keep it go
ing, as you keep life going. I sup
pose because 1t is instinct to preserve
what's yours.-From 1.-THE Flames of

NelD Light on NelDton's
Discovery of Gravity

IEaak Walton, the compleat angler,
should not be confused with Sir Isaac
Newton, the discoverer Of the law Of
gravity. Perhaps this little story,
which has never been told on them
before, will keep them separate in the
mind OF the student.
Those two gentlemen were sitting
on a river bank one day-Izaak fish,
ing and Sir Isaac watching him. Sud-
denly an apple fell from an overhang-
ing tree upon the head of the latter,
evoking a sound which posterity is
aware was far from hollow. After
some language which virtually spoiled
the fishing, Newton remarked to his
companion:
'It has just struck me that 1t Is
very curious that apples do not fall
upward. Why do you suppose that is
not SOP
"For the same reason" laughed
Walton raucously, "that the fish bites
the worm and the worm doesn't bite
the fish"
Thus at one and the same time New
ton demonstrated becoming gravity
and Walton unseemly levity.-"F. d."

quarters charged with various crimes
ranging from disorderly conduct to

The Retail Clerks Protective Asso-
citation and the Central Labor Union
have placed the store on the unfair
list, and Mrs. Ferguson had been
patrolling the vicinity of the place,
distributing printed notices informing
prospective purchasers that it was un-
fair to organized labor.
This work evidently was distasteful
to the management, and headquar-
ters detective appeared and escorted
the picket to police station
The pickets have been withdrawn
pending the outcome of the arrest,
said Henry Miller, chairman of the
adjustment committee, because the
committee decided it did not want
the detective force to neglect the pas
time of chasing bootleggers, burglars,
murderers and pickpockets merely to
harass peaceful pickets.

History Told BY Coins

Roman coins illustrate the religion,
the architecture, the games and sports,
historic events and, in a striking man.
ner, the advent Of Christianity. The
early Constantine coins disclose the
classic heather gods; after his con-
version the coins bear the symbol Of
the cross.
The diversity of this coin informa-
tion was enhanced by the practice of
sending the mint master along with
Roman armies. Soldiers were paid In
the field with money minted in the
field, often from locally mined metals.
In England's civil war Charles I, dur
Ing his refuge In castles and forts,
struck off coins to pay his troops and
defray his personal expenses. These
are the "siege-p pieces" referred to by
collectors Of English coins.

brated race courses were Croydon in
the South and Garterly In the North.
Near York there were races. and the
prize was little golden bell. In the
later part of the reign of Charles
races were run In Hyde park, London.
Charles II patronized these races, and

Causes of Earthouakes

1t has been thought by some that
the center Of earthquakes and vol

and that the disturbances are directly
caused by the filtration Of the water

sequent generation of vast quantities
Of steam, which frees itself by explo-
sion. Others have sought to explain
earthquakes as part Of the phenomena
Of planet cooling at the surface or

Probably Windiest State

The weather bureau says that the
question Of which Is the windiest state
In the Union has never been accurate
ly determined, and 1t is probably i'm
possible to make positive statement.
However, it is quite probable that
Oklahoma, as whole, is the windiest
state in the Union. This Is due to the
fact that the winds are rather con-
stant at moderately high velocities
during the entire year in this state; in
many other sections the wind may at
times average higher than Oklahoma,
nevertheless, they are not so constant
or cover SO completely the entire state.

INDUSTRIAL TRUCE
Asked By Baldwin Would
Only PrOlOng Low Pay,
Declare British
Workers

London, England unionists
are asking Prime Minister Baldwin
to explain his recent plea for an SIN
dutsrial truce" between capitalists
and workers.
England is on the verge of one Of
the most extensive wage movements
in its history. Practically every basic
industry and calling is facing in
creasing wage demands by workers
who insist that they have carried
more than their share of the burden.
The unionists show that in the last
four years they have been forced to
make an enormously disproportionate
contribution toward the upbuilding of
British industry
In 1921, the first year of the trade
slump, there was total reduction of
over $4,000, 100000 in the weekly full
time wages of 100000 workers; in
1922 further reduction of f4,500,000
was enforced, and in 1928 the work
ers accepted another slash of e1,-
100000
These totals do not include agri-
cultural workers, domestic workers,
shop employees and others. 1t is esti-
mated that during these three years
between 98OO,OOO,OOO and 81 1000, ,OOO,-
900 in wages were taken from work
ers who are worse off today than be-
fore the war.
"Is it Mr.. Baldwin's view that the
revival of British industry can take
place only if the workers consent to
GO on working at the present low
wages ?" asks the Labor Press Serv-
ice, issued by the British Trades
Union Congress and the labor party.
when Mr. Baldwin pleads with the
unions to face facts, to recognize that
the prosperity Of British industry de-
pends upon harmony between employ
ers and workers and to be willing to
cooperate in the effort to restore
prosperity in British industry, he
must not be surprised if the trade
union leaders ask him to explain more
clearly what he means by this plea.
"In short, on what terms are the
trade unions asked to consent to a
truce? 1t is difficult to believe that
even Mr. Baldwin can seriously hope
that the impending wage conflict can
be averted by appeals of the kind he
has recently made.
wages must go up. There can be
no truce on the basis of existing con-
ditions."
