Old Enslish Building
Has Regulation "Chosf''

A tragic story is attached to
Samlesbury hall, a fine old medieval
building between Preston and
Blackburn, which it is pro posed to
acquire for the nation, rather than
allow it to be demolished, says Lon
don Tit Bits.
1t has a ghosts "woman in
white" and handsome young
knight, who meet in the grounds,
utter soft wailings Of despair, and
then vanish. The white lady is the
daughter Of an ancient owner Of
Samlesbury, who forbade her to see
her lover because he had given up
his ancient faith. The couple con-
tinued to meet on the wooded slopes
Of the Ribble, hoping that the father
would relent, but one day the girls
brother surprised them and slew the
knight.
The girl retired to a convent and
soon died; but on certain nights,
the story goes, she can be seen fit
ting along the corridors and gallery
of her old home out into the grounds
to the spot where her lover met his
death.

pressure for economy" within the gov.
eminent.
Speaking before the regular semi.
annual meeting of executive and ad.

ment, Mr.. Coolidge declared that II
Congress sustained the current budget
recommendations for expenditures, he
would be able next fall to propose a
further cut in taxes. The President
expects a surplus Of $373,000. 900 in
the fiscal year 1926. and on that basis,
he asserted. further tax relief should
be granted. He warned, however, that
any new and unnecessary expendi-
lures would upset the plans of the
treasury now seemingly assured of
success.
The President also told the officials
that hereafter there must be policy
within the government Of getting
more work done with fewer workers.
He said there could be no cut in the
compensation of the workers, and that
the only hope OF reducing a payroll
that last year aggregated $3.50, 000.-
900 was to reduce the number on that
payroll.
