Borah for the Peace Pact

Secretary of State Henry L. Sttnson and his fel-
aow delegates are coming home with their five power
peace pact. This pact will be sent to the senate with
out delay by President Hoover. He will recommend
quick action. Senator Borah, chairman Of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs. Is not boiling over with en-
rhusiasm, but promises to expedite matters before his
committee and perhaps vote for ratification
Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson OF Arkansas and
David A. Reed Of Pennsylvania are among the dele
gates who made the pact. They are members OF the
senate foreign affairs committee Senatorial eour-
tesy covers a lot of territory, and the president Is
hopeful that the influence Of the gentleman from
Arkansas and the gentleman from Pennsylvania will
push the pact over the top before the coming OF the
month of July.
Truth is, the congressional solons are becoming
rrozey. They have been grinding or talking for Is
months. There Is an important general election
coming this fall. In a large number OF states, prt-
mary elections take place In June and July.
For this, and many other reasons, official Wash
angton says they are ready to face the pact music
and then return to their homes for fence building
purposes.
There are many faces in the picture that will be
blotted out OF the frame in the primary and general
elections Of the year.

worried about her as she added this

She added q huge ring to match

could have gotten away with It.
Most OF them would have looked
like an advertisement for the Home

Dixie perfectly. and she knew 1t.
When she had finished. Dixie
went into the bedroom and kissed
her sleeping baby. She fingered 70
touch the sweet, warm face with
her hand and 70 smile materially,
with a little catch in her throat, at
the vision Of all her dear dreams.
She turned at the outside door
and grinned az Elanda:

Elanda glared al her. and struck
a cord on the piano and began 70
play violently. Out in the hallway
Dixie fingered uncertainty a mo-

II was a reckless adventure-per-
haps a mad one that might fail 10

be sorry. But. II she succeeded, the
risk was worth 1t.
Restlessly, Elanda played. She
wondered why Greg did not call.
She remembered what zinnie had
said:

The Once Over

TEE SPRING BRUSH FIRE COMPLEX
Copyright, 1880. by The Associated Newspapers)

NOOpyTA&nLl A1oSH ~ " al cp~An &NWSPup<ASJ
Are you having your daily brush fire7 II not, why
not7 This is the time OF year when every good Ameri-
can considers it a civic duty to set fire to the lawn
or the lot next door and give the n~eishbOrs a good
big scare. It's an old Spanish custom.
The urge 10 20 out and start Q brush fire Is q most
peculiar impulse. 1t seizes every normal person this
time Of year. Jason p. Citizen gets home from the
office a little early. shifts the spring air and inlne-
diately begins to feel funny. He doesn't know quite
what It is at first.
The initial symptom is extreme uneastness- He
goes out into the back yard and walks around ner-
vously. He feels strange impulses stirring. Ulti-
mately he goes to the cellar or garage and gets .
rake. Then he begins to feel feverish. Presently he
begins to rake the lawn quite furiously. This gives
him no relief. He is puzzled.
Now ne breaks out in q clammy persptration. he
sees spots before his eyes. He thinks It must be
something he ate and is about to go in and take
bicarbonate OF soda or something when his nostrils
catch an odor OF something burning. He looks
around and sees a cloud Of smoke coming from Joe
Spiegel's yard. Presently Joe and his whole family
begin beating the flames.
Immediately Jason realizes what's wrong with him.
He hasn't started q grass fire!
He whips out a box Of matches and darts about the
yard, igniting the grass and tanning the flames with
his hat. He feels a little better.
Slowly at first the flames spread. The wind seems
unfavorable for a good hot fire endangerirg old Mrs
Doople's house next door. But a breeze springs up
and the fire gets pretty smart. 1t ignites the clothes
pole. leaps to the picket fence and spreads onto Mrs.
Doople's property.
Jason feels very good now but not perfect. He will
not feel right until the flames reach the Doople cell
lar doof. When they reach to the cellar door 1t will
be time to rush into the kitchen for a broom. The
wind gets sitter. Hoorayl The grass fire Is now
going great. guns. Jason dashes in and gets the
broom He starts beating at the flames. Neighbors
come rushing from all points Of the compass with
brooms.
Mrs. Doople calls the fire department. Mrs. Dooples
house Is saved. Jason says he can't understand how
the fire got started. It must have been boys. A good
time has been had by all.

 Prof. Chadsey who had been dean of the university's summer ses- sion for number of years, went to Chicago in March 1919 at the rec ommcndation of citizens advisory committee. His salary of SlS,000 q year provoked much comment at the time.
 Within month, Mayor Thomp- son had called upon Prof. Chadsey to resign, charging that he had as- sumed privileges properly within tn } province of the school board.
 Peter NJ. Mortenson was then ap- pointed and a police guard was placed about the superintendent , office to prevent Chadsey from con- tinuing in office. In November, a quo warranto writ reinstated Chad sey, but later in the month, he re- signed, saying he could not secure the proper cooperation.
 The University of Illinois immedi- ately offered him the deanship of the college of education.

Submits Brief in Appeal On New
 York Decision

Washington, April 2 LPl-Attorncy General Mitchell urged the supreme court in 2 brief filed today to hold that a pcl son ordering liquor ship ped to him is guilty of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law.
 The brief was filed in an appeal brought by the government attack ing the decision of the circuit court of appeals which held that Alfred E. Norris. q New York banker. was rot guilty of conspiracy 10 violate the prohibition law in having li- quor shipped to him by Joel D. kerpcr, from Philadelphia.
 Pointing out that the circuit court of appeals had held that the purchase of liquor was not an of fense and that the transportation from Philadelphia was merely an incident of the purchase, the attor- ney general emphasized that the guilt of purchaser was not in volved but only the question wheth- CT person who orders liquor de- livered to him, knowing that his order involved unlawful transporta- ton. was guilty with the bootlegger of conspiracy to violate the prohi- bition law.
 Attorney General Mitchell con- tended that when the bootlegcor de- livers numerous shipments of liquor to an express company, as in the causes its shipment and delivery to him, there is illegal transportation for which the purchaser is equally guilty with the seller.
