IRISH PRESIDENT SERVES 5 YEARS

squashed the fiery orations of De
Valera.
Griffith died suddenly on August
10, 1921, and Collins was chosen
President in his place. with Cos
grave acting chairman of the pro-
visional government. Ten days
later Collins was slain. Griffith and
Collins had strong hold on the
public mind. Cosgrave. an un-
known, became President.
His ministers had the task of per-
suading the dali to accept the
clauses of the constitution, defining
the relations between the Irish
Free State and the British crown
which were settled by Griffith in
London.
But the chief task was the re-
establishment of law and order.
Terrorism was employed to quell 1t.
Executions resulted. among them
that of Erskine Childers. who had
been the most powerful influence
over De Valera. hut there was no
perceptible improvement in affairs.
Four IrreguIars Executed.
When the dali met to choose a
senate, President COsgrave an
nounced that General Hales. a
member of the dali, had been slain,
and another member wounded, on
their way to the meeting.
The next day four of the lead
ing rregulars-among them Rory
OConnor-who were in prison.
were shot without trial by way of
reprisal
By the end of January, 1923
executions had risen to 80. and the
prisoners to 10000. The opposition
began to waver. and then weaken,
and by May, 1923, De Valera called
upon his followers to abandon hos
tilities.
Frail looking, a bush of straw.
carroty hair, big knotty brow, thin
white face, small, pointed chin,
large prominent luminous green
blue eyes, that is w. T. COsgrave,
President of the Irish Free State.

Shaker Furniture Had
Its Distinctive Charm

The Shakers anticipated by many
years the modern vogue of finishing
furniture ''in the NATURAL" although
they often washed a thin coating of
yellow ochre or venetian red over
the wood. Their construction was
solid and workmanlike and featured
expert pegging and doweling. Their
woods for the most part were native

curly maple, pine, birch, chestnut,
and occasionally walnut. Not infre,1

is looking back on eight years of
power as President of the Irish
Free State.
Cosgrave became President by
force of circumstances. His two
predecessors died within ten days
of each other. Since then the Irish
Free State has become one of the
most important of the British do
minions.
On December 6. 1929, both the
British parliament and the Dali
Eireann ratified. the Irish constitu-
tion.
1t was the signing of that treaty
that made COsgrave. Arthur Grif-
fifth and Michael Collins brought
the treaty from London. A cabinet
meeting ended the chaos when
Eamon de Valera. his vanity wound
ed, refused to honor the signatures
of the Irish negotiatOrs. This
split the cabinet COsgrave sided
with Griffith and Collins.

In the fight in the dali for ap-

Astronomer Says Moon

London.-One day in the dim and
distant future the moon will crash
into the earth, says Sir James
Jeans. world-famous mathematician
and astronomer.
We shall not he there to see, Sir
James declared in a radio broad
cast, but the result will be that
millions of fragments will surround
the globe in rings like Saturn's; it
will be moonlight all night; and
people will spend their time dodg-

Sir James said: "In the far fu-
ture our own moon must inevitably
be drawn in closer and closer to
the earth, until finally it comes too
near for safety and must meet its
fate"

YOU HAVE A DOCTORS
WORD FOR THIS
LAXATIVE

In 1875, an earnest young man
began to practice medicine. AS q
family doctor, he saw the harm in
harsh purgatives for constipation
and began to search for something
harmless to the sensitive bowels.
Out of his experience was born
a famous prescription. He wrote it
thousands of times. 1t proved an
ideal laxative for old and young.
AS people saw how marvelously the
most sluggish bowels are started
and bad breath, headaches, fever
ishness, nausea, gas, poor appetite,
and such disorders, are relieved by
the prescription, it became neces-
sary to put it up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, as it is called, is the worlds
most popular laxative. 1t never
varies from DR.. Caldwelrs original
effective and harmless formula.
All drugstores have it.
