Washington, Dec. 20.-Mrs. John N.
Garner is giving careful thought to a
question that others have been inter-
estingly discussing-what she will do
socially as the vice presidents wife.
Some time ago the Carriers an

custom Of simple living, they will &C.
cept only official" invitations.
But Tuesday Mrs. Garner told for
the first time just how she feels on the
subject. She does not minimize the
value of sociability in official life. On
the contrary, she is deeply determined
to uphold the dignity Of the vice
presidential position. But she thinks
individuality should be expressed by
each hostess-and If she so chooses,
she might even introduce some social
innovations!
Alice Was Independent
"Alice Longworth, as speakers wife,
by not holding the traditional at
homes to the house membership,
made it perfectly clear that it is not
necessary for every hostess to do what
others have done before them," said
Mrs. Garner.
Nov, I would really enjoy receiv-
ing the house membership. and may
work it out yet, before Mr.. Carriers
term as speaker closes.
1.-THE point is that it isn't necessary
for people to follow each other like
sheep in social events"
Mrs. Garner looks at sociability
from the practical viewpoint of a
career woman, and Is putting to her
tentative program the test question:
What is really worth while?"
AT Homes Questionable
There's the question of holding Eat
homes and of making formal calls.
The vice presidents hostess tradition
ally starts off the cabinet Eat homes"
and Mrs. Garner hasn't turned thumbs
down on that, although she wouldn't
want it carried to the old extremes.

Garner said, and genuine reminiscent
pleasure lighted her eyes as she turned
back to the w-swinging pre-auto So

I'VE used to say we 'peddled car

and those we were calling on would

West passed, and North opened

not vulnerable, overcalled with one
heart.
South bid two diamonds, West

West then put in three heart bid,
willing to 60 down one trick If nee

The Play
East'S opening lead was the ace
of hearts, which dropped North's
king. A small heart was returned,
North trumping Vests jack with the
deuce of diamonds, North returned
the ace Of diamonds, which dropped
Vests jack.
The declarer now saw that II East
held the king of diamonds he could
make his contract regardless Of the
location of the king of clubs.
Declarer's next play was the ace

the jack of spades in dummy with
the seven of diamonds.

Treaty Negotiations

He had now completely stripped

his next play was a small diamond,

the king.
East was down to the king and
jack Of clubs and the ten Of hearts.
II he leads heart, declarer will ruff

so all that East could do was to cash
his king of clubs and the declarer

TAXPAYERS FAVOR
CLOSING SCHOOLS
Would Eliminate MayviIle and
Glendale Institutions and
Merge Others

Amidon, N. D., Dec. 20.-F-Per-
manent closing Of the Mayville State
Teachers college and the Glendale
Normal and Industrial school was
recommended by the Slope County
Taxpayers association at a meeting
here Saturday.
The association further recon-
mended the State School of Forestry
at Bottineau be consolidated with
the agricultural college at Fargo and
the State School Of Science at Wah-
peton be merged with the university
at Grand Forks.
The recommendations ask that all
agricultural substations not self -sup-
porting be closed.
The meeting was called by r. M.
Hanson, president of the taxpayers
association, to act on the various
subjects placed before it by the state
taxpayers association and recon-
mendations originating in the county
association.
The county assessor plan was not
favored. They recommend the state
legislature strengthen and preserve
all local units of self-government.
In lieu Of a personal property tax
the association favors a graduated
state income tax to be levied on all
incomes of $500 and more and that
the tax receipts be apportioned to
the several districts in the same ratio
as real estate taxes now are appor-
toned.
Other recommendations are:
That the legal rate of interest be
reduced to five per cent.
That consolidation of two or more
counties be permitted on q two
thirds majority vote.
That two-thirds majority be re-
quired to approve any bond issue.
That all penalties be eliminated
and that payment Of back taxes be
permitted on q 10-year installment
plan at lowest possible interest rate.

Will Move Dismissal
OF Manslaughter Case

Minot, N. D., Dec. 2O.-(R-State's
Attorney Paul Campbell said Tuesday
that before he retires from office Jan.
l he will make a motion for dismissal
Of the manslaughter charge against
Harry Kinzley, Mohall, which is pend
ing in Ward county district court.
The manslaughter charge against
Kinzley is the outgrowth of an auto
mobile accident north of Minot Sept.
Is, when car, allegedly driven by
Kinzley, ran into and killed william
Truesdell of Glenburn.
The states attorney said his deci-
sion to move for dismissal of the case
was based principally on the fact that
coroner's jury, returned a verdict
that Truesdell died as the result of an
accident which was caused primarily
by the failure Of G. r. Hutchinson to
remove his car from the traffic lane
and further contributed to by the
speed of Kinzley's car"

The less-than-game, or partial

Keeping Poultry House
Dry Not an EasY Matter

There is fairly general opinion
that dry air is lighter than damp
air and this opinion has some infiu-
ence upon methods of poultry house
ventilation, says the American Agri-
culturist. AS a matter of fact, air
rises as it becomes saturated with
moisture, which makes 1t obvious
that the outlet for moist. impure air
should be near the top of the house
If this excess moisture is to be re-
moved by air circulation. On the
other hand, the air intake should be
somewhat lower, and then the fresh,
cool, dry air will enter the house
and accumulate near the floor,
where it takes up moisture as it be-
comes warmer.
The principal difficulty comes dur
ing periods when the outside air is
practically saturated with moisture
before it enters the house. In such
cases, the only practical way to
keep the house dry is to raise the
temperature inside the house. Al
though the body heat of the birds
will raise the temperature some, it
has been found that artificial heat
is essential If the house is to be
kept absolutely dry.

Kashmir Shawl Beloved
by Another Generation

In their heyday-when Napoleon
presented several to Josephine as
gift-Kashmir shawl masterpieces
kept 10000 looms humming and
more than $4,000 men and women at
work. They have always been
characterized by the elaboration Of
their design, in which the "cone" or
mango" pattern is the prominent
feature-also by the glowing har-
mony, the brilliance, the depth, and
enduring qualities of the colors.
When Victoria was proclaimed
empress of India a number of Kash-
mir shawls were presented as trib-
ute to the English crown. In fact.
1t is told that this gift gave i'm
petus to an industry that pre-
sented the Kashmir in it's more
modern version the Paisley.
Whether or not familiar with the
handsome old Kashmir shawls,
there are few who have not owned
or seen Paisley.
In pattern it is a copy Of the
Kashmir. but the materials are
products Of Scotland rather than Of
the Tibetan goat. From the little
town Of Paisley that grew up
around the abbey Of Paisley this
more recent shawl took it's name.

country took part in politics, and
most OF the high positions were
held by them. Political leaders,
then, were chosen by the voters.
Now. through the apathy of the
voters, they are often chosen by
other politicians.
Changing Social Life.
This change is partly due to our
changing social life. Many OF US
do not even know our next-door
neighbors. But it is a manifesto
tion of a deeper and more sinister
change-the tendency of the aver
age citizen to let somebody else do
his thinking for him. That ten
dency threatens the very founda-
tions of democracy.
Net some one else do the think
ing"
That easy doctrine is injuring us
rot only in politics but in other
fields. Under 1t crime flourlshes
and business languishes.
Some international bankers, since
the war, have been careless in lend
ing other peoples money on for
eign securities. Others have been
charged with something worse than
carelessness. But the citizens who,
against sound business principles,
put up the money were not without
blame. In their eagerness for gain,
they too often refused to think for
themselves. They preferred to
delegate that task to some one
else. 1t was well known to all who
read the newspapers that certain
governments had already default
ed on debts TO their own people.
Greedy investors did not balk be-
cause of that, but cheerfully put
up billions to loan to states, mu-
inequalities. and industries of those
same governments.

This rule is automatic with
every capable military leader, but
it was ignored by most of our busi-
ness leaders during the boom
years. Few made plans for any
thing except triumphant advance
from one objective to another
Many burned their bridges behind
