NEW LEAF FAR FROM DEPEW'S
MIND AS 1927 APPROACHES
World Has Treated Me Pretty Good for
SO Years, and Haven Strength Now
to Try to Change 1t, He Says.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. December 13.-Chaun'
| cey NJ. Depew, dean of American wits.
| champion after-dinner speaker, former
| railroad president. attorney, Senator
and public figure for the last 20 years,
| will greet the bright New Year with
out so much as turning over single
new leaf
In the only interview planned for the
Christmas season. Mr.. Depew told an
Associated Press representative that
he would carry on as at present and
let the world try to do the same.
The world" he said, has been
pretty good TO me for 90 years. land
/ haven't got the strength now to try
to change things"
Mr.. Depew, who lives on F'ifty-fourth
street. expects to spend Christmas at
home. He recently recovered from a
severe cold and does not expect to do
much with the turkey this year.
Sees No Dry Law Change.
Some years ago he gave up red
meat, and before then cigars. A mod
crate drinker once, he drinks nothing
now, he said, and while he believes the
people are not satisfied with the Vol
stead law, he predicts there will be no
change.
WHY" he was asked.
He put his hand on the back Of his
head, thought solemnly for moment
and replied:
Women
A moderate himself, he would not
interfere with the enjoyment Of others,
it was apparent in the interview, for,
he said, he was opposed to stage cen
Sorship, found no harm in modern
dances and liked the radio and the
movies.
With his 93d new year just around
the corener. Mr.. Depew, who was in
terviewed at his desk in his offices of
the New York Central Railroad, said
he couldn't find much wrong with the
world
The five-day week he said he thought
was not feasible.
Time" he said, ''is too valuable to
obliterate one-siXth of it in order to do
good for the other five-sixths; in other
words, to get the habit of loafing an
extra day"
Calls Nation Adaptable.
Mr.. Depew asserted a belief in the
'adaptability of the American people
to anything that may happen" Even
if earthquakes should raze the tallest
piles, he said, it would all come out
right in the end.

tional allotments for the same projects
or Investigations.
The bill. as reported, does away with
such division of the funds for projects
and Investigations, and the total
amount for each activity appears un-
der that item in the bill.
Creation of two substitute bureaus
to separate research and regulatory
activities of the Chemistry and Soil
Divisions of the Department of Agri-
culture was provided for in the bill
which carries total of Si2S, 1862 900.
OF the total amount appropriated in
the bill, nearly S0,000.000 was for
maintenance of Federal aid highway
systems and many millions more TO
continue the relentless war against
insect pests. The total was S77.S12
above current funds, but S4,T74.000
below budget estimates. The reduC-
ton was effected by pairing down
highway funds and authorizing use
of uneXpended moneys previously ap-
propriated.
Secretary Jardiue appeared before
the House appropria committee
which drafted the bill and recommend
ed consolidation of the Bureaus of
Chemistry and Soils into the Bureau
of Chemistry and Soils. He said that
to the new bureau would be trans
ferred all the research activities of
the two units, while. q food, drug
and insecticide administration would
be created to conduct the regulatory
or police work.
Works DO Not Mix.

work do not mix any more than

tons to sew on: no deep wrinkles to iron
out; and every piece washed and dried as
thoroughly and gently as by human
hands-that's the New Easy Washer.
And don't forget that all these benefits
are for a lifetime, forever making life
easier, brighter and happier.
The New Easy has two tubs. Each
holds eight double sheets or the equal in

When you are ready to dry tubful of
clothes in the Easy, just turn a lever and
in three minutes the clothes will be so
dry that you have to hang them in the
sun for only few minutes. There is
nothing to put deep wrinklesin the linens
or to tear buttons off the shirts.
But that isn't all. AS the suds, the
rinse and the blue water are whirled from
the clothes, each in turn is carried back
to the proper place by a wonderful new
water-circulating system that even emp
ties the washer when you're all through.

We're on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights in the Palm Dom of the

for the gatherings. In addition to
the delegates to the convention
and their wives and the invited
guests from Wolf Point a number
of guests from Scobey and other
surrounding towns were in at
tendance. A group of high school
girls presided at the punch bowl.
The dance Tuesday evening was
a little more the festive of the two
entertainments. A group of high
school girls at the door presented
the guests with red and white car
nations as they entered. Carnival
novelties such as balloons and
fancy hats were also given out.
The outstanding feature of the
dance Wednesday were the award
ing of prizes for the Charleston

quite so large but every bit as jol-
ly attended the second evenings
