ANCIENT STATUE FOUND.
Efigy of Christ Is Believed to BE

LHLSy Vh
Among Oldest in Existence.
CONSTANTINOPLE, November up.
Turkish police yesterday discovered in
the garrett of an cid Armenian woman
of SMYRNA what may prove to be one
of the oldest efigies of Christ in ex-
istence. She said her great-grand-
father found the statue In the environs
of biblically famous Ephesus.
Smyrna museum authorities believe
the statute to be at least 1900 years old,
but are awaiting the dictum OF Con-
stsntinople authorities who have left
for that city.

1--WE years ago George A. Whiting bought
l. Straight Eight Packard. Today, after 81 $50
miles of driving, over every kind and condition
of road, the Packard still runs like new.
There is no reason why Mr.. Whiting could not
buy a new car if he desired. This Baltimore
manufacturer is President of the Standard
Wholesale Phosphate & Acid Works, Inc. Many
cars and trucks are at work under his direction.
"But," says MrWhitng, there is no hill too steep
nor road too long for my Packard. 1t is still in
perfect condition, and without squeak or rattle.
Much of this is due to the fact that STANDARD"
Motor Oil, STANDARD" Greases and Standard"
Gasoline have been used exclusively and regularly.

ing, thelifeofacar, on good clean gasoline ando."
STANDARD" products are just that. They are
made from especially selected crude oils. This is

Congress. Hoover. and Heat

Congress meets in extra session today on call of
President Hoover Before the session ends, the
country will know whether Hoover has. in addition
unusual administrative ability demonstrated dur
ing his first month in Office. the power of personal
leadership over congress. which Coolidge lacked
Hoover starts with much in his favor He has re-
ceiyed overwhelming election majority. He is I'M
disputed leader Of his party, which has comfortable
control of both houses of congress. He speaks and
acts with authority gained from years of govern
mental experience in Washington
Despite these favorable factors, there already are
clouds Hoovers congressional horizon The legis-
atye issues themselves are highly controversial Some
of the senate bloc and progressves of the Pres-
dents party are in opposition to his policies. And
the Democrats, stung by election defeat and past
legislative ineptitudes, are out for blood.
There will be three major battles-on farm relief,
tariff and poStponing practically all other leg
islation to the regular December session. Hoover
probably will win the first battle he is less sure of the
second, and he probably will lose the third
Hoover's farm relief plan has been written into
the house BILL providing $5OOOO0OOo revolving fund
for use by federal farm board through sterilization
corporations and co-operatives Though the senate IS
disposed to insist on a debenture provision, al
tentative to the vetoed equalization fee Hoover
probably will have his way in the end.
The tariff battle will be manysided. To carry out
his plan for limited tariff readustment, chiefly on
farm products, Hoover must defeat Democratic low
tariff advocates with one hand, and with the other
hand fight off the high tariff Republican manufac-
turers who were the largest contributors to his cam
paign fund.
Hoover's hardest job will be to restrict the extra
session to his immediate program of farm relief, tariff
and repeal of the national origins provisions of the
immigration act There are loose ends like the census
BILL which must be taken care of, and which are tied
up in one way or another with sundry legislation
which Hoover wants postponed.
There are several nonpartisan and highly lmpor-
tant measures which should not be delayed longer
in our judgment. These include reapportionment OF
the house abolition of lame duck sessions, the Wag
ner unemployment pls anti-njunction legislation
the Russian recognition resolution and ratification
of pending treaties.
It is perhaps too bad that congress must be SUBJ
iected to the heat of long Washington summer. or
that the President must be burdened with session
of congress during most of his first year in office But
such considerations not important enough to force
adjournment of congress before its work is done.

ANNIVERSARY
DEATH OF LINCOLN
April Is

CIXTY-FIVE years ago today
~ at 1870 in the morning-an ale
night vigil of an anxious group
came to an end in a house across
the street from Ford's theater In
Washington.
In small first floor bedroom in
that house, President Lincoln was
dying of a bullet wound inflicted the
night before by John Wilkes Booth
in the theater across the street.
AS the Great Enancipator sues
cumbed, Secretary of War Stanton
murmured: Nov he belongs to the
ages"
Few events in American history,
happy or tragic, have had a more
sudden galvanizing effect upon the
emotions of the country. Until his
assassination, President Lincoln had
many political foes throughout the
country men who honestly disa-
greed with his policies. AS soon as
the news Of his death had swept
the nation, men forgot that they
hated him, jeered at him, doubted
him.
They forgot his homely sinplic-
ity and his cautious attitude toward
large questions. They remembered
only how he had given everything
but life itself that the union might
be preserved. and now he had given
that.

quadrant has temperature of IS degrees, while the
northwest quadrant has the lowest temperature of
all, II degrees.
This is more or less the general range. The map
of another winter day. for example might show low
pressure area over Illinois with the following tenn
peratures: southeast quadrant, So southwest, &c.;
northeast, 81; northwest t.
The greatest difference in temperature 1t will be
seen, is between the southeast and the northwest
ouadrantS.
This is due to large extent to the fact that in the
southeast quadrant the air is being drawn northward
from the warmer ATTITUDES of the south, while in the
northwest quadrant it is being drawn southwark from
the colder ATTITUDES of the north.
1t also is due to the fact that the motion OF the
winds in cyclone low pressure area IS not merely
a Whirling one but one of considerable completely.
At the front of a cyclone, the east the winds
have an upward tendency component OF motion,
while on the west side they have downward motion.
This downward motion on the west means that cold
air is being brought down from higher attitudes
1t will be seen, therefore. that the movement of a
cyclone-and keep in mind that cyclone drifts east
ward the continent at the same time that the
winds in it whrlng around with counter-clock-
wise motion-has a great deal to do with the daily
changes in the temperature at any gwen LOCALITY.
The weather forecaster thus is able to make lore
casts of temperature changes by studying his weather
map. for he knows that in general, certain changes
be expected in certain length OF time
Weather forecasting is not just guessing 1t is
science. AS fast as additional knowledge about the
behavior OF the atmosphere is accumulated becomes
q and exact science
Additional information not only makes more exact
daily forecasts possible but also makes general fore
casts for longer periods OF time a possibility. -

1T was not my intention to write
4 about the stock market SO soon
again. but no one should keep good
fortune to himself. Not only has
opportunity knocked at my door, but
it has also left 9, ticket admitting
me to the ground floor of gold

they haven't heard of my tip.

You should give your money more

the New York Curb at about SITS.
1t was sheer luck which got me on
this good thing. AS it happened, I
went to a speakeasy last night to
get some hard-boiled eggs, and
there at the lunch counter was a
man who said, II read your column

Facing Cold Facts

HOWEVER before making any
l. L commitment I familiarlzed
myself with Mother Lode and it is
a mine According to information
which I believe to be true, but do
not guarantee, our property is Sit
uated in Alaska.
Things get pretty cold up there
in winter, which may account for
The fact that the stock has gone
down three-eighths of a point since

Bull Dog Broun.
At the moment there is one little
defect in our mine, according to
rumorS which reach me. Our prop
erty is on one side of a mountain
and the interurban trolley is on the
other. I think we are digging a
tunnel to some point where the con-
ductor will issue transfers.
I'm not entirely sure of my facts.
Maybe it is not a trolley, but dog
trail. My information is also in
exact on what comes out of our
mine, or lies in it, as the case may
be. I bought it for a copper.
To my surprise a recent Sunday
newspaper referred to us as Mother
Lode coal mine. On the other hand,
the man who gave me the tip on
Gold Coin, said that Mother Lode
was zinc mine.
Coal, Copper and zinc-perhaps
we serve all three. Maybe we keep

How Fortunes Made

THEN he told me about Gold
l. Coin Mine. 1t seems that the
president and all the officers of one
of the largest savings banks in
Pittsburgh are simply crazy about
this venture. Oh, perhaps, it would
be better to call it an industry.
Anything which is good enough
for Pittsburgh widows and orphans
should be good enough for me. AS
matter Of fact my friend at the
lunch counter did make the Pitts
burgh financier seem a somewhat
sappy sentimentalist. He told me
that this bank president said he
wouldn't take $40 a share for his
holdings in Gold Coin Mine.
I would, because then I could
take the money and buy a lot more
of the same company at SITS. In
deed, if coaxed, I'll let the man from
Pittsburgh have my holdings when,
as and if bought, at say S11.10 a
share.
The average Wall Street operator
'is romantic. Seemingly the big
banker places some special pre-
MUM on the first edition. 1t may
be that he has a true tenderness for
the original certificates, because he
has raised them since they were
cats and dogs.
One hundred shares is a lot Of
responsibility, but I owe it to my
dependents to face the ordeal. To
be sure, this is not my first connec-
ton with a mine.
After being told that bonds are
considered sissified by up-to-date
investors, I went and got fifty
shc res of Mother Lode.
I'm sure mine.
1t is just as well to know, as I see
by the papers that a congressman
wants his money rack since he
bought shares Of Hiram w lker and
didn't know that it was whisky. 1
don't happen to know Hiram my
self, but in the good old days had
many pleasant contacts with his
brother, Johnny.

Market Goes FIooey

A T one time the grape market
"A was so good as to command a
price of $l95 a ton. Everybody
who could buy, beg or borrow
enough land to do so started a
vineyard. The art of making two
vines grow where only one had been
before became a veritable obsession.
Neither bootlegging nor the raisin
advertising campaign could absorb
the increased production. Grapes
began to slide and kept on sliding,
until from a peak of $l95 a ton they
struck $50.
When I was in California last
winter the industry was in a de-
moralized condition, with foreclos-
ures on every hand, and one bank
planning to pillow under 10000 acres
of perfectly good grapes which it
had been obliged to take in on I'M
paid mortgages.

The JeWett Attack

1ue 0G"eGI AIIdCh
When Charles Jewett former mayor with
drew from the probematcal race for mayor,
he delivered an attack upon Boss Coffin that
is worth reading.
II IS worth while because it calls a-en-
ton not only to the menace in the future con
troll Of the city, but to the much grayer fact
that Coffin now rules the city schools and that
our educational system has fallen into polIt-
zeal management.
Coffin, Of course could not exist politically
or as boss unless varied group, individuals
and interests wish him to control He is not a
dictator through military seizure Of power He
thrives because he has an organization of
henchmen that, by hook aud crook, are power
full at elections. They work while others
sleep.
The man or the woman who feels that
sooner or later they are likely to get into the
hands of the police prefer either Coffin or some
other boss. They want to feel that il caught
they can appeal 10 friendly judges with some
chance Of freedom, either through legal tech
nicalites which our Coffin Judges seem to I'M
derstand, or by outright release on some spe-
cious excuse Of sentiment.
There are others who thrive when the police
arc blind to their activities. They prefer a
boss government to one conducted BY men who
take their oaths of office seriously.
These forces in society can always be re-
lied upon to be very busy with the duties and
responsibilities of their citizenship. They
know what vote is worth. They never dodge
duty as clerks or judges at elections
Co1inism needs and awlays gets the sup
port of certain business interests which believe
that it is better to get favors than justice.
They are mistaken, of course No hone4
business can thrive long on a scheme that
contemplates privileges. But boss has to be
kind to his friends. There are those who find
their tax valuations cut. Others get contracts
on most favorable terms
Coffin has been adroit in gathering together
the forces in city life which live upon priv
leges. He knows how to combine them. He
knows how to deliver when he has vassal in
office. He knows that the first rule of boss
is to keep his word to his friends.
Merely denouncng Coffin will not rid the
city of bossism. His henchmen will be found
organizing and corrupting the city manager
organization and any other force that opposes
bossism.
The city IS about to face a great test. Are
the forces which are trying to get honesty,
efficiency and equality in government both
earnest and smart enough to keep their own
forces intact and free from the same influences
which Coffin represents in government
If decency is defeated and Coffin rules, it
will be because the forces against Coffin are
neither mselfish nor wise enough to keep him
on the outside of their own ranks
But really, it does seem a shame that the
schools of the city should be given over to
boss.

The Money Rolls In

DE that as it mays. Mother Lode
Dcarries itself. This is no pros
pect, but a going concern, which
pays 40 cents a share in dividends.
That means that 10 cents will be
rolling in every three months.
One hundred 10 cents amounts
to a cool $40 and when pay day ar
rives I'm going to set up the hard
boiled eggs again for the man that
got me into Gold Coin. In spite
of all my market activity I've never
had a dividend.
Although I made a tidy profit Of
$27.62 in International Tel and Tel,
I am a little bitter about being
shaken out of it. Manipulators de-
pressed the stock as soon as they
received the news that I had not
done so very we'll in the Saturday
night poker game.
No sooner was L forced out than
the announcement came that the
company planned to erect one OF
the largest buildings in New York
City. And now, I suppose, they
won't allow me to use the swim
ming pool.
But these wolves of Wall Street
had better be careful how they snap
around me. Little did they realize
that I would take the money and
sink it into Gold Coin Mine.
When the Pittsburgh crowd and
I start to push this, the laugh will
certainly be on the Tel and Tel
boys. A stock like Gold Coin Mine
is much more flexible.
The beauty of a stock selling for
less than So a share is that when
it begins to move there really isn't
any place for it to go but up.

Serves Two Purposes
a PROBE of the grape industry
N such as DR.. DOran has ordered

a PROBE of the grape industry,
"A such as DR.. Doran has ordered,
is timely from two StandpointS, at
least.
First, it will divert attention from
such unpleasant incidents as the
sinking of the I'm Alone, the shoot
ing of Mrs. De King, and the an
nouncement that liquor will be sold
on certain American passenger ships,
particularly the Leyiathan.
Second, it will show that Pre5i-
dent Hoover is playing no favoritos
and that California need look for
no Indulgence because he halls from
that state.
California grape growers will be
excused if they happen to overlook
these fine points.
They have not been getting along
so we'll as many people imagine. The
idea that prohibition has done a lot
for them and that they can thank
Mr.. VolStead for an unexpected sea-
son of prosperity is only true within
limits.
