Celia went 10 the bedroom, where
she had left her travelling bag. A
glance IN the indistinct mirror
over the dressing table showed her
how completely she had forgotten
her appearance. The red-rimmed
eyes were swollen. Her hair was
unkempt and there was a glossy
shine on her nose. Even her frock
was rumpled.
She went TO the bathroom and
bathed her eyes with cold water
Then she combed her hair. got out
cosmetics and used them lightly.
Some OF the wrinkles In her dress
Were removed BY brushing. She
was still far from cheerful, but a
more presnetable figure when she

LECCE SAYS WHEAT
CONGESTION GROWS
WORSE, 7BEY7ER
Makes Statement in Answer to
Query Made Recently by
Governor Shafer

Chairman Legge of the federal
farm board, replying to a telegram
of Governor George +. Shafer- said
today that there was no possibility
for relief from congestion at the
wheat terminals within 60 days.
The telegram, to which Legge re-
piled, inquired what would be the
basis upon which the board would
put wheat after the congestion at
the terminals was relieved.
"This refers to a situation that is
not in the picture at the present
time. as there is no possible hope
for relief in this matter during the
next 60 days at least" Legge's let
ter said. 1.-THE tendency seems for
the congestion to become worse in
stead of BETTER"
He urged that farmers arrange to
curtail their acreage.
"The present operations of the sta
bilization corporation will undoubt-
eddy result in their having upward
of 100, 1000, 900 bushels of wheat on
hand at the close of this present sea-
son." he said, land if farmers are
going ahead trying to produce an
additional surplus on the basis that
some way will be found to take care
of it on a fair price lever another
year. they are going to be mis-
TAKEN"
Governor Shafer made no com
ment on Mr.. Legge's reply this af-

HEAP TRIBUTES TO MEMORY
Soft Notes Of 6ugIe to Chant
Final SoIdierIy Requiem to

BY KIRKE L.. SIMPSON

Washington, Mar. 11.-R-William
Howard Taft received today the high
honors which q grateful nation re-
serves for those who have reached
the Hottest pinnacles of its service.
It was his own day in the heart of
q great people that esteemed him for
his craftsmanship and loved him for
his humanity and to whose welfare
all the years of his manhood were
given.
From dawn until the sun dipped
above the calm hills of Arlington ma
tional cemetery, where it was his wish
to sleep for all eternity. every pulse
Of the government beat In rhythm to
the tribute heaped upon his memory.
At the last, it was left to the thun-
der Of guns and the soft notes of the
bugle, chanting q soldierly requiem
to a fallen commander. to voice the
message that Taft of Ohio had laid
him down to his long rest where only
those who in life served the flag
faithfully and we'll may gather in the
fellowship of death.
No Encomium Too Great
In the fullnesS of his years, weight
ed by distinctions such as had come
to few before him. the man who had
been president and chief justice was
a plain citizen again when death
beckoned him away. Yet. because of
the heights Of public place he had
known, and because, too, of the al
most unbrokcn service to the nation
that was his life work, no encomium
vas too great for him in death.
The affairs of the nation were put
aside to do him honor. The business
Of government stood at pause; at
pause in the white house he had
known intimately as president and
cabinet officer. in the high court
where his last public service was CIV
en-, in the halls of congress.
Led by another president, a man
