John Bull Is Very Angry

John Bull is said to be very angry. British news
paper publishers are very angry. British editors, who
are noulders of public thought, are very angry. A
Yankee revenue cutter sent the British sloop I'm
Alone to Davey Jones' locker.
Of course, the I'm Alone was a run runner. She
was rum laden. She was outside the 12-nlile limit
when she was pot-shotted by the guns of the YAM
kee revenue cutter and sent to the bottom of the sea.
A British sailor lost his life. As for the captain
and the surviving members of the crew Of I'm Alone,
they were rescued and placed on shore.
Andrew w. Mellon is secretary Of the treasury.
He is the head Of the American pro enforcement de-
partment of the government. He is the supervising
head of the coast guard department Of the govern
ment.
IN his report Of the sinking Of the I'm Alone, the
secretary Of the treasury defends the sinking of the
rum runner ship and upholds the act Of the captain
of the revenue cutter in training his guns on the
fleeing craft.
It is a Job for the state departments of the two
nations. Incidentally one point in the affair now be-
ing discussed in London is whether American reve-
nue. cutters have the right to chase. challenge and
fire on a rum runner outside Of one hours steaming
from shore after the suspected rum runner has first
been challenged within the admitted limits Of terri
toria1 waters.
It is said that the British government never has
admitted this as an American revenue cutters pre-
rogative and It Is understood that the point has never
been settled between Washington and London.
There Is a general election coming in Great Brit
ain and the North of Ireland in May. Right now the
fate of the Baldwin or conservative government is at
stake.
It has been the proud boast Of the Briton for four
centuries that England IS the mistress Of the seven
seas. Now the point IS, shall Great Britain be per-
Anitted to control the waters of the Gulf of Mexico as
we'll IS the seven seas? The I'm Alone incident may
be made a campaign issue in the coming election.
What is known as the Anglo-An1erican treaty was
made in 1923. It was designed to curb the Illegal
landing Of liquor on American shores. Before the
signing Of the treaty there was a three-mile shore
limit. Now there is q 12-mile limit. British poll
ticians will make the most Of the incident
Politicians are very much alike the world over. They
think they know a campaign issue when they meet
one in the middle Of the highway or on the broad
Atlantic or the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
As for Uncle Andy he is UNFOLDING the right OF
the coast guard captain and narksmen to send rum
runners to Davey Jones locker whenever they refuse
to haul down the flag of q rum running ship.

HOUSEKEEPING WITH H HoovERs
By H. I. PHILLIPS

Scene: The White House at Washington, .. @.
President and Mrs. Hoover are checking UP on equip
ment. paraphernalia, etc. left by the previous admin
i~stration.
Mrs. Hoover: Now there's a lot of stuff, dear, we
won't want, and we might as well get rid Of it.
The President: Throw out anything you don't like.
Mrs. Hoover: Dear me, I just don't know where to
beginl 1 don't see how the Coolidges ever kept so
much junk around. Now take that ship, the May
flower: what's we do with that thing?
The President: Don't you like it?
Mrs. Hoover: I think it's terrible.
The President: 7 don't care much for It, either.
I'll get rid of it some way.
hrs. Hoover: I hate to throw it away. Isn't there
somebody who would like it someone who really
needs it.
The President: I can't think Of anybody at the
moment.
Mrs. Hoover: There MUS be some one to whom
a ship like that would be a godsend. Don't We know
anybody who is poor and in need?
The President: Yes, but they're all democrats. We
couldn't give the Mayflower to a democrat.
Mrs. Hoover: Aren't there any needy republicans?
The President: Not so soon after election. I could
give it to Bill Donovan, I suppose. but it would only
stir up jealousy. Id better just phone the junkman
to come and get it.
Mrs. Hoover: And what about those big stuffed
sofas down in the stable?
The President: Those aren't stuffed sofas; they're
President Coolidge's saddle horses.
Mrs. Hoover: They looked like stuffed sofas.
The President: That's because they've never had
any exercise.
Mrs. Hoover: Well, what should wo do with them7
They're no ornament.
The President: Couldn't we store them in the at
tic for the present?
Mrs. Hoover: Certainly not.
The President: Well, I'll have q man call and take
EN- away.
Mrs. Hoover: And what are we going to do about
Weather?
The President: That's the place Coolidge bought
50 we could have a place to 60 in the summer, Ell?
Mrs. Hoover: Yes. Wasn't it mean of him?
The President: It proves what I've always sus-
pected; he didn't like me.
Mrs. Hoover: Well. what will we do?
The President: Well just ignore it and go some
place else for the summer.
Mrs. Hoover: And another thing: what about that
old handball I found in the cellar? It was all dust
and dirt. 7 think It was left over from the Roosevelt
administration.
The President eagerly: HandballP
Mrs. Hoover: Yes.
The President with enthusiasr): Goodv, goodyl
Don't you dare throw that out. It's Just what I want.
Where's Marx Sullivan? Where's viii Irwin? Gee,
well have some fun.

q Joke on the Lawmakers

Senator Thomas G. Pollard is chairman OF the
stste finance committee. He has officially notified
the members of the committee that junketing trips
bv members of the legislative appropriation commit

expenses of the committee. A. II. King Of Throck-
morton Is responsible for the ruling. That is, he de-
MED the right Of the legislative members of the Tex
as legislative members of the Texas tax survey COM
mission the legislative members mind YOU'D, to take
down $40 per day while in active service OF the state.
He carried the case to the supreme court and the su-
urene court sustained the contention Of the member
from Throckmorton.
In the decree the court ruled that the members
were entitled to necessary travelling expenses and in
cidentaIs. Representative King is a member OF the
house appropriations committee, and the house COM
rnittee decided on subcommittee trips to state
institutions each weekend during the special leg1s-
iative session.
There was a reason for their decision. Inc mem

Washington Letter
~ uERRERr r pr yrNrNrEP
BY HERBERT c. PLUNINIER

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The copy Of George
Washington's Farewell Orders to the Armies Of the
United States" dated November 2, 1888, made at that
time by the assistant adiutant general Of the CONT
mental army, has come to light in a curio shop in
Washington.
The original orders of Washington did not sur
vive. They are believed to have been destroyed as
.gneral.
The copy in the curio shop here, therefore-and
the library of congress agrees-can be claimed to be
the officials surviving orders.
Manuscript Genuine
The manuscript was owned by Bishop F. M. Bris-
toll Of Washington, but passed out Of his hands some
time ago. 1t is looked upon as one Of the most valu-
able and interesting of early American documents.
The manuscript is eight pages, folio in size, and Is
entirely in the handwriting Of John Singer Dexter,
assistant adjutant general Of the continental army
with the troops at Neburgh, N. Y. 1t is endorsed by
Brig. Gen. James Clinton: "Gen1. Washington's
farewell orders to the Army in 1888" A second en-
dorsement, in an unknown hand reads: From the
papers Of Genl. Jas. Clinton and copy from which
the orders was read"
The orders were sent from Rocky Hill, N J., where
Washington was then in attendance upon the Cont
mental Congress, sitting at Princeton.
John c. Fitzpatrick, assistant chief of the manu-
script division of the library of congress, aided Bishop
Bristol in establishing the authenticity of the manu-
script. Fitzpatrick, after a careful study, said:
This manuscript undoubtedly is the copy made
by the assistant adjutant general and, following the
usual practice, Dexter read the orders himself to the
remnant Of the army, then waiting at Newburgh for
the British to exacuate the city of New York
1T is known that Brig. Gen. James Clinton was
with the troops during their march down to the city
and during the evacuation. I see no reason to doubt
the truth Of these two endorsements"
Few Comics
Fitzpatrick further says that the orders we're sent
in a letter from 1t. Col. David Cobb. aide de camp
to Washington. There is a copy Of the orders by
Cobb in the Washington manuscript in the Library
of Congress.
"The endorsement that these were the orders" he
says, that is, the paper from which the orders were
read to the army, November 2. 1888, at Newburgh by
Dexter, must be taken at its face value, because OF
the fact that the other endorsement is in the hand
writing of General Clinton"
The orders were printed in the newspapers Of the
day. Most of the continental army already had been
disbanded and returned to their homes.
So far as the information of the manuscript d.
vision of the Library of Congress- goes. the Bristol
copy and those in the Washington papers are the
only ones extant.
"Of these says Fitzpatrick, "the Bristol manu-
script Is the more valuable and interesting"

READ THE FIRST:
The plot concerns some weird
noises coming from beneath a
haunted house by the sea. What
was the cause Of them? Brown,

beautiful girl he has yer seen. He
decides to warn her. He follows the
girl and man on a train. Brown
tackles the man at a station and is
stunned from the fall to the sta

man continue their journey Brown
is carried into the station, where he
meets Charlie and Rupert, two
young men on a walking trip. All

Honors Are Even

Senator j. T. Helm of Alabama invaded Maine
as a lecturer. He was denied the use Of the city hall
at Portland and later he was denied the use Of the
city hall in Bangor.
Custodians Of the halls declared it was the policy
'uf their respective administrations to avoid letting
the halls to persons who would create public disturb
ances.
This, away down in Maine.
The Rev. J. Frank Norris was denied the use OF
the city auditorium by the officials OF Amarillo. They
gave about the same reason as the Bangor and Port
land custodians.
Publicity is the thing. A place in the headlines Is
the same. Heflin knows its value; Norris knows its
value. Why not let the spellbinders speak until their
tongues have grown weary?
This is the program in the tight little Isle known

New York City

Most diseases, in and of them
selves, are rarely fatal. One man
could hardly win a battle. 1t re-
quires ar army to carry on a sue
cessful war.
One germ couldn't get far in pro-
ducing disease. A whole crowd OF
n kind of germs rarely accom-
plishes terrible things. It is a mix
ture Of germs, a sort Of allied army
Of germs, that works havoc with
our poor bodies.
To put 1t another way, 1t Is the
complications Of disease that we
most dread. 1t Is these we must
avoid.
When, o. when. will men and
women learn that the way to
escape the dangers Of sickness is
to give attention to the disease at
its onset
We have had another epidemic
Of influenza. We had a serious
epidemic in 1919. We had a dread
full one in 1918. There have been
lesser epidemics during this ten
year period.
What have these experiences
taught us2 So far as the layr1an
is concerned, I fear he has learned
little, except to be scared at the
mention of the word epidemic"
The doctors have learned, that al
most nobody dies from influenza.
The deaths are due to complica-
tons of the disease.
On the day I am writing this I
had a telegram that a friend OF
mine had been taken to the hos
pital for an operation. First, he
had a mild attack of influenza
and, because he has a strong body,
did not consider it worth while to
go to bed, OF even to stay home.
The disease went down on his
lungs" First he had bronchitis
and then pneumonia, involving one
lung. This got better and then the
other lung was involved.
Now, like King George, he has
an abscess in the chest cavity.
To the original germ of infection.
has been added a pus germ Of some
sort.
No matter what the disease is,
| beg OF you not to neglect your
trouble. The seriousness Of the all
ment will make certain that there
will be no neglect when the aching
ear, Assessed lung, or other CON-
pllcation arrives. There is such
pain then that everybody is sent
on the run for the doctor.
1t is true that many calls are
made on the doctor for advice
about trivial ailments. But it Is
also true that there are MANY.
many failures to consult the family
physician at the times when he
could be of positive assistance.
BY the way. it isn't fair to YOUR
friend the doctor, to overlook his
Importance at the moment when
he can speedily and successfully
relieve you of your disease. You
should not regard him as you do
the fireman, to be called on after
the building is on fire. Take time
by the forelock and use the doctor
when he can keep you from SER
iors trouble.
The way to escape the complica-
tons Of disease is not have them
at all! That Is an awkward way Of
putting an obvious fact.

II believe our fr1endS asleep,
murmured Charlie.
Hope he is" replied Rupert, spot
ting a Morris Cowley ahead Of him
and deciding to overtake it. Best
thing for him."
Queer sort of chap, isn't hep"
said Charlie.
Il like him." answered Rupert,
passing the Morris Cowley.
20 h, yes, Of course. So do I.
He's a perfectly lovely creature and
all that. Still-Still you don't think
the station master was right, per-
haps, eh?-and that he is slightly
mad?"
Meaning, you t,ink we're slightly
mad?"
"A theory" explained Charlie.
Merely a theory"
well, it may prove a correct
theory" admitted Rupert. But a
little madness occasionally is rather
a good thing in this prosaic world,
don't you think? If the worst
comes to the worst, we've merely
changed tramping ground and
had rather an amusing adventure,
And, if the best comes to the best
He paused Until that moment he
had hardly paused to realize what
the fruits of that might be.
Il say, Charlie!" he exclaimed.
"S'pose there really is a jolly girl
and we really and truly do save her
from some beastly fate! Rather
worth while, eh?"
"Oh, by all means" agreed Char
lie. "And she fall into our arms, I
suppose, and marries one Of us. The
question iS-which one is it to be?'
"Ah," said Rupert. Our sleeping
partner may have something to say
about that"
The car slackened its speed
through a village, crawling at a
mere DO, and flung itself into mad
existence again beyond.
TRY not kill us, won't you?" sug-
gested Charlie.
We've got to beat that train to
Newcastle" said Rupert.
THAT was what / meant" NUT
tered Charlie, cycling the speedom-
eter, which said 81. we shan't be
of much use If we arrive in pieces
They ran through a town. Brown
sat up suddenly.
where's thiS?" he jerked.
"Grantham," replied Rupert.
Brown looked at his wrist watch
1t said a quarter past four. He
thought he had been asleep fol
hours.
Much further to go?" he queried

moc.eIIt"
What about keeping your bright
conversation till we're in the carr"
Rupert suggested.
They were In the car a quarter Of
an hour later, and Brown found
himself beginning the second stage
of his amazing journey just as the
church clock struck half-paSt three.
He could not have given you a pre-
else account of what happened dur
ing that quarter of an hour. There
was an interview with the garage
proprietor, who Rupert appeared
to know. There was a short bust
ness chat, while the selected-an
A Armstrong Siddeley-waS being
prepared for its trip. There was a
substantial packet Of notes, that
passed from Rupert to the garage
proprietor. There were also inquiries
about the road north and the capa-
city of the a CBrown'S heart
Jumped when he heard that it could
do 500. And, at one time, the fat
Charley disappeared, to return q
few minutes later with packets Of
food. I'VE shall eat and drink as
we 60" Charlie confided to Brown,
but it is yet to be proved whether
we shall be merry"
Then, as the half-hour chimed,
the car glided out of the garage
on its mission of rescue. just rs
minutes had elapsed since Brown
had tumbled out of the train onto
the station platform.
In the back seat, Brown wondered
many other things, as we'll. A voice
from the driving seat ahead OF him
broke in upon his thoughts.
"D'you know what time that train
reaches Newcastle?" asked rupert.
i haven't any idea" replied
Brown. with a guilty feeling that
he ought to have known.
well, 1 know" said Rupert. II
inquired before we left the station
1t gets into Newcastle at eight-nine-
teen. That is in a little under five
hours from now
"And how fairs Newcastle?' in
quired Brown.
Two hundred and ten" answered
Rupert. We've got to average As
Nov you know why we're eating
en- route" added Charlie, who was
seated beside the driver. We've nc
time to stop at hotels"
They relapsed into silence as the
car leaped bravely forward. The
speedometer rose to 80 when they
were clear Of the town, then 40
then so. This was rather fast life
for Brown He closed his eyes.
