PRESIDENT SEEKS
DATA ON ANNU|T|ES
Favors Higher Retirement
Payments. But Wants to
Know Cost First.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

There is no reason for Governme MT
employees TO lose heart regarding the
pa ssace at this session Of Congress
legislation to libcralize the retirement
act. according to Speaker LonSworth
was in conference with President
Coolidge today.
The Speaker intimated that the
pfsinciple involved in this legislation
is generally approved. and when some
definite estimate of the amount of
money the Federal Government will
be called upon to pay is arrived at
he feels very certain that the legis-
lation can be put through. The mass
of figures presented by the actuaries
intended TO show what the Govern
ment's share of expense will be are
so complex and of such a varied
nature that it is difficult for the
House to proceed with this legislation
until they are made clearer and
more specific.
Mr.. Longworth said that the Presi
dent is deeply interested in this legis
lation and the cost of increasing tn
annuities and the possibility of enact
ing this legislation at this session was
the principal topic of their conference
at the White House today. He int
mated however. that the President
has not vet reached thorough under
standing of the actuaries' estimates,
and before he takes any positive
stand regarding this legislation he I

ment.
Higher Annuities Favored.
ibera lization Of the retirement an
nuities was included in the list of
proposed legislation that will require
annual appropriations, but which ar
deemed of sufficient importance to b'
considered, although they are on their
face contrary TO the administration s
economy program
The Presidents s conference with
Sneaker Longworth was virtually
along the lines Of the conference sew
era1 days ago between the President
and Representative Tilson of Con
necticut. Republican leader of the
House. During the latter conference
the President gave his ideas to the
House leader regarding the wedding
out of legislation calling for appro.
priations, particularly appropriations
that will continue annually for an in
definite period in the future.
Increased annuities were approved by
President Coolidge along with other
proposed increases during this talk
with Leader Tilson The President
even went so far as to request that
the retirement legislation be given 2
place prominent among the preferred
list of legislation to be handled dur

Eyes Need Extya Gore
When Lighss Are Poor

Autumn and winter months are try

If the eyes give any definite trouble

suited at once But a simple home
treatment will not only act as an eff
cient 'refresher" but will also rid the
eyes of all harmful secretions of dust
Make weak solution of boracic pow

of boiling water) leave to cool, bottle
and cork tightly Use this in an eye

the solution for each eye. Once you
have started the treatment you will
find it so beneficial that you will con,
tinue all the year round, much to the

Hardness in Duty

Whosoever goes to his work re1o1c-
Ing in the vigor of a generous motive;
whatsoever abandonS vice because
fascinated by the idea Of self-control
and the loneliness Of the better way !;
whatsoever goes aside to do kindness
out of the pure love of the neighbor,
manifesty finds the ground of his
content in the surrender Of himself to
what seems to him richly to deserve
the service he pays. The content Is
loved not because 1t is qualification,
but because 1t Is the frame which
suits this service. All other search
for happiness fails, because it is really
the effort to satisfy some instinct,
whose very essence 1t Is not to be sat
isfied, but to crave ceaselessly and
forever-Samuel johnson. in 1.-The
Duty of Delight"

Where Columbus Trod

"All day long we eat the SUM-" is the
delightful way in which a Santa Fe
cafekeeper described life in that city
about Christmas time. When you con-
slider that a cool wind from the snowy
paraganda gives zcst to the sun feast,
this City of Sacred Faith, where Moor
ish feet have never trod, deserves men,
ton. especially as rendezvous for
Americans For over Its Pinos-Puento
Columbus once journeyed on his way
to France after he was repulsed by
Spain as visionary, and it was on the
same bridge that stands today that the
queens messenger caught up with him
and told him that his plans were ia
vored. and, weeping for joy, he turned
to make Spain his embarkation land
on his memorable voyage to America.
A picture of this bridge should be in
every American schoolhouse.

Society of Siam. In India. Mr.. Card
ner says, it is reported that the pigs
make nests Of grass but In the ever
green jungles of Siam there is little
or no grass and the nests are made
OF sticks. The sticks are all bitten of
from the surrounding trees and they
vary in thickness from the width Of a
finger to an inch in diameter. They
are piled about yard high and in a
heap about three yards broad. The
pigs tunnel beneath the nests, pre-
sumably for protection against the
