coming interested in politics. he filled various minor offices until 1853, when he was eleeted governor of Tennessee. He later went to the United States senate, and in- 1864 he was named by the repub- lican party as Lincoln's running mate. The war president was as- sassinated shortly after his second term began, and Johnson became chief executive.
 Johnson, a blunt man of positive opinion, was at war with congress over reconstruction measures from the outset of his term. As result of the bitterness engendered he was impeached, but was acquitted by single vote when tried. He was the only president against whom impeachment proceedings have ever been started. Retiring from the White House, Johnson was again elected to represent Tennessee in the United States senate. He died July 31, 1875.
 Labor Day has been selected by the Andrew Johnson Memorial As sociation for the unveiling eXer- cises because the association con- siders Johnson representative of the great mass of common people, Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, has been selected to preside at the ceremonies.

 The minister of finance, M.

The loan of 00.000, ,000 leva ($3,500,00O was made in 1914.

 "Pious Hinduse please their gods by throwing clothing. trinkets and other offerings upon the animals un- til all but their hoofs are concealed. Now and then sacred ape passes and is accorded the same respect; and in the so-called Monkey Tenn pie and it's courtyard, swarms of sacred monkeys are fed and petted by visiting pilgrims. Perhaps the fruit and vegetable stands bordering the city sidewalks suffer most from the pious quadrupeds. As the ami mals consume the merchandise the owner must permit it with a smile. He dares not nistreat the sacred beasts.

APARTMENT HOUSE
 ADVICE IS GIVEN
Experts Called in On New
 Chicago Scheme

Chicago, Aug. 10. R}-The first approved" cooperative apartment house project has made its appear ance here.
 The approval received was that of the consultation bureau of the National Association of Real Es- tate Boards. which inaugurated the service to aid in the establishment of sound standards within the business and to give the general public a means Of identification of sound cooperative building prof ects.
 The bureau, composed of special ists in architecture, law, finance, management and selling, surveys proposed cooperative apartment house projects from the front door to the last whereas" in the legal documents which constitute actual ownership. The survey usually oc- cupies weeks and is not completed until plans and procedure are sat isfactory.
 Individuals purchasing apart. ments in cooperative buildings thus approved are regarded as in sured against inadequate lega structure, extravagant financing poor architectural planning and other troubles, and especially against erroneous legal forms af- AD taking, or the untried schemes ol novices.
 Granting of the original certifi. cate is believed to mark the firs1 time that q group representing the entire field of the real estate buBi ness has passed upon and certified an individual real estate project.

 The Dog Has Its Day
 "'Poor pussy is not poor nor does she need nine lives among the Mangs, low Indian caste who re- gard the cat as a sacred animal. Their most solemn oath is sworn by the sacred cat" Another caste of India called the Naodas swear by the sacred dog or COW.
 "The Solomon Islanders can make any animal sacred among their rela- tives. When d tribesman is about to die. he calls his relatives to his death bed and tells them what sort of an animal he wishes to receive his soul. It may be a bird, a but terfly or shark. Whatever it is. the creature is held sacred.
 | Tigers are seldom killed by cer- i tain Sumatran tribes. If one is kill ed accidentally or in self defense, the dead animal receives an apology for it might have contained the soul of one of the killers relatives. The deer is a sacred animal among some of the Borneo tribesmen while in New Guinea fish and pigs are shown the same respect. Among the Todas of southern India, a sacred buffalo is killed during an elaborate ceremony
 roasted on sacred fire, and his car cass tremendously feasted upon.
