DUTCH BALL0T|NG BRINGS NO UPSETS
Coalition Undisturbed by Elec-
 tiOn-SeYen Women Elected

Amsterdam, Aug. A Pl-The gen. eral elections just concluded in Hol- land failed to shake the coalition government.
 Voting was compulsory for all men and women more than 25 years old. Those who failed to perform this elementary civic duty were subject ed to fines.
 Radio was used extensively after the fashion of the American and British general elections campaigns and seven women were elected to the lower house.
 A remarkable feature about the election was the large number of miniature parties, there being 36 in the field as compared with 32 par ties four years ago. The total num- Der of electors on the Dutch rolls is just under 4,000,000, and they were offered GA candidates for the 100 seats in the second chamber of the states-g general as the parliament is called. This meant that there was an average of six candidates for each set.
 The vote proved clearly that the restoration of party cabinet was not possible at this time with so many small parties advocating such q diversity of interests. Therefore the coalition government continued in office. there having been a change of only two or three seats in parlia- ment as q result of the election.
 An examination of the composition Of the lower house parties and the number of seats they hold now as compared with the 1925 election, as well as the diversity of interests which apparent in their names, will give some idea of the cross-currents of governmental thought in the country. The composition follows.

 Q. Why does salt smother a fire?
 A. Because it cuts off the sup ply of oxygen.
 Q. What is the address of the American Society for the Proven tion of Cruelty to Animals?
 A. Madison avenue and 26th street, New York city.
 Q. When did the famous meteor ic shower known as the falling of the stars" occur?
 A. The meteoric shower which occurred in the early morning of November 13, 1888, is thought 10 be the most brilliant on record, and is usually referred to as the falling of the stars" It began about midnight and lasted until dawn, and was visible more or less over half the earth. including North America, but not Europe; the num- Der of meteors was estimated at 250,000 or more. No sound was heard, nor was any particle known to reach the earth. The U. S. Nav al Observatory states that this stream of meteors was supposed to be the result of the distintegration of Tempel's comet, which was not seen when last due in 1900.

 We have not been involved in th' Russo Chinese peace negotiations at Manchuli, recently broken off. Our part ended when Stimson in voked the Kellogg treaty and urged the two nations to get together for peace instead of for war.

 We're Still in China
 Stimson recently decided that il was too early to grant Chin&'S r. quest for abandonment of American eXtraterritorial rights in her ter. ritory. A recent note told the Chi nesc very politely that we didn'; believe she had quite met the con- ditions under which we would gjV. up extraterritoriality but that V" would consider the matter again whenever she did The next move is thus up to the Chinese.
 A score or more representations have been made by as many for eign nations regarding provisions of our proposed new tariff law. On these the state department has been acting only as a transmitting agent, forwarding all such protests to the senate finance committee.

The sculptor Dressler has been commissioned to execute the project.
 Another memorial 10 the pope is near the square where his monu- ment will rise. The house in which he was born has been turned into an orphan asylum. equipped with q votive chapel.

 Pope Plus last visited Desio in 1921, when after retreat at the Benedictine abbey Of Montecassino and a pilgrimage to Lourdes, he was preparing to assume the arch , bishopric of Milan. The people Of the city still recall how. once he had chanted henediction in the church where he was baptized, h." came out into the central square in the evening and mingled with the companions Of his boyhood, asking for news of families he had known and laughing over "reminiscences.
 Desio hopes against hope that its most famous son will return some time soon for a visit.

 ''They strike the pavement with their heel3 and slump their shoul- dcrs," he says. "The slump drops down and becomes a wiggle when it reaches the hips. The wiggle is scarcely graceful.
 Most women walk stiff legged and stiff jointed. They swing along from the shoulders. The center of grace is in the hips, and in walking the shoulders should be steady and the head poised"
 That's where the books come in. A shoulder shimmy and a hip wave can't be done with book balanced on the head.

Popular Catholic Pe-.y
 Executive power iu .hc Neither. lands is vested e,ciusiy.l. 10 the sovereign Queer Wilhe'minA while the legislative authority . eslc jointly by the sovereign aIc pAr,is- ment. The upper house consisk e! 50 members elected hy provincial states. the lower house 0. 100 mem bers elected ilectly by universal suffrage.
 In November, 1925, during the debate on the foreign affairs bud get. the lower house. with the help of the Christian Historcals. rejected the expense money for the Dutch le- gation at the Vatican. The Right coalition collapsed and lengthy ministerial crisis ensued. In March, 1926, after many attempts a coalition cabinet was formed under the lead ership of Jonkheer Dr. de Greer. It embraced Anti Revolutionaries. Christian Historicals, Catholics and Liberals. This group has 61 votes in the new parliament, exactly the same as in the old.
 But under the system or pfopOr- tional representation existing in Hol- land, there is no joint policy of the coalition. Instead each party acts independently in propagating it's own particular creed.
 Another result of proportional rep resentation has been the elimination of by. elections. If a member dies, or resigns, his place is simply taken by the next candidate on the par ticular political list. It is impossible, however, for a candidate to obtain election on a minority of the total votes cast as is often the case in the United States and Great Britain.
 Another peculiar feature of Dutch procedure is that members of the cabinet need not necessarily be dep- uties---in fact most of the ministers are not members of the chamber.
