HIS TIME TO
4PLANKS
Still Is Contender for
Nomination, But Hope
OfWinning Fades
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
CLEVELAND, June 8 Q.N.SJ.
Battling for aggressive, decisive
planks in the Republican platform
on all major issues, Senator Will
liam E. Borah today planned to oc-
cupy a siot line role while the Re-
publicanS open their presidential
convention.
The Lion Of Idaho" declared
himself still a contender for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton although he had little hope
Of winning it. Consequently.
while exhorting his followers to
remain loyal until the last ballot,
he devoted most of his time to
developing support in the conven-
tion for hts as yet unpublished
planks on monopoly. foreign af-
fairs, farm relief, and money.
Borah has agreed to offer these
plankS If the convention leaders
will agree to give him the privilege
Of defending them on the floor il
any are rejected by its resolution
committee.
Offer Ignored
Thus far, convention leaders
have ignored his offer. Favorable
action must be taken by them or
Borah will be barred from debating
any issue in the convention since
he is not an elected delegate.
On monopoly, Borah would de-
fine it as the power to fix prices.
He would declare for it's elimina-
ton by prohibiting the shipment
Of its products through the chan
nels of interstate commerce.
On foreign affairs, he would de-
clare generally against entangling
foreign alliances and specifically
against the League of Nations and
its world court. He would declare
for the strictest neutrality in all
international conflicts.
ASKS SL2Dle Dollar
On farm relief, he would declare
for repeal of the Presidents re.
ciprocal trading powers, repeal of
existing reciprocal treaties, full
tariff protection of American farm
products, Federal aid to agricul-
ture for the duration Of the farm
depression, against the Roosevelt
Administration crop curtailment
program and for restoration of
the farmers domestic markets by
restoration Of the purchasing power
OF the American masses.
On the money issue, he would
declare for repeal of the Presi-
dents power. and restoration to
Congress of the power to regu-
late the nations currency. He
would declare for a stable dollar,
equalizing the purchasing power,
and against all international agree
mentS on the monetary question.
He would oppose return to the
old gold standard.

To add eliminating climax Of
irony, Johnny discovered at his front
door that he had somehow lost his
house key. He decided not to awaken
Betty, but to slip around the house
and noiseleSSly effect an entrance
through one Of the windows. Surely
one would be open as usual He crept
silently to the first, then the second.
All of them seemed to be fastened ex-
cept the bed room window. On re-
tiring Betty had opened it the merest
trife for air. Johnny grasped the sill
and cautiously drew himself up.
A T THAT moment Betty awakened.
Silhouetted against the moonlight
she discerned the frightening black
blot of mans figure attempting
quietly to open the window. Speeches
with fear. she grasped the first object
at hand and. leaping from the bed,
threw it with all her might In the
intruder's direction.
There was crash Of breaking glass
and the heavy thud of a body tum-
bling to the ground beneath the win
dow. Betty found her vocal cords then
and screamed on her way to the tele-
phone to call the police station. With
in few minutes the sound of squad
car screeching to a stop before the
bungalow brought her to the front
door.
A few seconds later there was a call
from the side Of the house, where one
Of the officers held limp figure in
his arms. Tears Sprang to Betty's
eyes and she sobbed as she recognized
the figure as that Of her husband, who
was lying there terribly still, with a
large lump on his forehead.
Johnny" she cried as his eyelids
fiickered open in the light of the
hashlight in the officers hand. Did
he hit you before he got away?" Betty
was a wise wife, you see. Johnny
grunted painfully while assimilating
this new angle.
Sure did, honey" he affirmed.

consoled him and said no more about
it then.

RUT at breakfast she kept eying his
bruised forehead. Johnny noticed
the scrutiny and arose to look in the
mirror at his injury. He said nothing,
but he knew that in the future Betty
had an ace up her sleeve.
She could always inquire why q pair
of brass knuckles should leave the

gazing up at the sky. Fairies, indeed
pink, semi-transparent shrimps, the
most primitive crustaceans you will

where they can have fresh water, but
there are a few that live in the salt
water and one species that even pre-
fers water more salty than that found
in the sea.
We may have to 60 back to their
haunts more than once, for nov you

you may find hundreds swimming
gaily about, on your first visit to
your beloved spot, in the Spring.
They get around very swiftly by the
use of their leaflike feet, that they
wave about gracefully. thus propelling
themselves through the water. Why

young investigator try and flnd out

Upon the next trip to the pond you

have already overcome the obstacles
that threatened them. The mother

that there would be no chance of get
ting help from those Crows again.
She knew that they had had too bad
a fright to take any risks with the
Redtails in the future. They would
keep away. What really worried her
was the fear that now the Redtails
might take revenge by attacking her,
for she knew that they knew where
that nest was. So Mrs. Blacky trem-
bled inside as she saw the Redtails
returning to their tree. Still she
bravely kept her place on those
precious eggs.
Perhaps they'll remember that I
wasn't one of those who attacked
them" thought she. 1T will be
dreadful if they try OF take it out on
me for what Blacky and the others
did to them"
The two big Hawks alighted in the
tree beside the beginning of their
nest. They were excited and they
were angry. Mrs. Blacky knew that
by the mere sound of their voices.
She didn't need to hear what they
were saying in order to know that
they were very indignant Redtail
was for going over at once to break
up Blacky's home. I'VE don't want
people like that for neighbors," said
he. Now I think of it, believe
1t was Blacky himself who was the
leader of those Crows. Yes, sir; I'm
sure Of it."
Mrs. Redtail was not quite so in
dignant. You see, she wasn't the one
who had been tormented, and that
made a difference. Then, too, she was
too much interested in the building
Of the new nest to think much of
anything else. Just forget those
Crows" said she. They've had their
lesson and they won't bother us again.
We have too much to do to bother
with those fellows. Now that we
have started this nest, I'm in a hurry
to get it finished. Go look for some
material, my dear, and forget those
Crows. There will be time enough
to attend to them LATER"
So, to the great joy of Mrs. Blacky,
the two big Hawks took to their wings
and departed to look for nesting ma
terial. Mrs. Blacky sighed with relief.

Stray Funds
BY L. L. STEVENSON.


DURING the last year, a tidy little
fortune, $375,494 In all, was ac-
cumulated by James F. Eagan, pub
Ec administrator of New York. This
money belongs to persons who can
not be found. 1t will be held for
them for the next 20 years. Then. If
1t is not claimed, it will become the
property of the State of New York.
The 1915, AGA represents estates that
belong to missing beneficiaries. Dur
ing the year, the public administrator
handled estates that totaled $780,
$50. 1t was good business for the
city, since commissions amounted to
S66,749 and that was $26,19 more
than the cost of running the office
Of the public administrator.
In addition, the city acquired cash
and personal effects of 1852 homeless
men and women who died in various
free institutions. There was no gain
In that, however. 1t costs approx
mately Sl2 to bury person in potter's
field. Thirty-five Of those who died
left total cash of $31.65. Personal ef-
fects, pitifully small IN most instances,
are sold at auction.
Zone OF the estates handled by Pub
lie, Administrator Eagan has caused
him no little worry. Public admins
traitors in Sweden and New Jersey
are also worrying. It is the estate Of
IYar Kruger, the match king" who
killed himself in 1882. Diligent search
by Mr.. Eagan revealed $4,000 in
vested IN Kreuger's name In New
York. Against that. creditors have
piled up claims totsling $274,000, 900.
Tfte public administrator is hopeful
of finding still more for their benefit,

tfading in his own name.

cordingly, Mr.. Maier decides to give

The play Of the hand was fairly
simple. West opened the ten of dia-
monds, which was won by the ace in
dummy. Jacoby now cashed the ace
king of spades, entered his own hand
with the ace of hearts, drew the op-
ponents' last trump and then played
clubs, eventually setting up long club
on which he was able to discard his
own losing diamond.
