Major Arguments Pop
To Legislative Front
In Session Since January, Legislators Must Still
Agree on Long Program Of Issues
Judgship appointments.
County comnissionerships.

JuQSSIllP dppOuAtAAc1AGSs
County commissionerships.
The finance and appropriations
committees have been wrestling for
months with problem Of how to
stretch an available $11,00O,000 to
meet building demands Of more
than $25, 100000.
The governor suggested new tax
es. The tax department countered
with proposed assessment Of five
per cent on interest and dividends
which would raise the bulk of the
needed money. Still lacking nearly
$4,000, 900 year, the governor yes
terday advocated levy on tobac-
CO, cigars and snuff, estimated to
yield $l,174,000 a year.
Every effort has been made to
avoid mention of a state income and
sales tax, both Of which were Bit
terly opposed during the 1895 ses-
sion. The only other remaining
sources were cosmetics, amusements,
gasoline and liquor.
The increase in automobile in
spection fees was voted a favorable
report by the motor vehicles COM
mittee late yesterday, II to 6. The
increased revenue, according to Mo-
tor Commissioner Michael A. Con-
nor, would go toward constructing
permanent inspection lanes operat-
ing the year round.
Hard liquor opponents girded for
stiff battle over the bar sale of
liquor. Drinks now must be served
at tables.
The commission on mental diseas-
eS planned a finish fight for an
appropriation of $4,000 to set up
the mental hygiene department
which would absorb the mental hy-
giene bureau of the state health de-
partment. The department would
supervise clinics and handle all
transfers Of state hospitals.
The agriculture committee voted
q favorable report on a bill provid-
ing for free testing of cattle for
Bangs disease but ignored requests
for $175, 900 for indemnitieS.
The public welfare committee re-
served decision on a bill to change
the procedure of commitments
and transfer Of mentally Ill per-
sons.
The state was blamed by DR.. G.
G. Burlingame, Hartford, for lack
ing q definite policy to segregate
cases.
'.Old people should not be in Mid
dletown," he said, -but there Is no
other place for them"
He recommended q state DEPART

HENRY HIS CROWN
WAS MAKESHIFT

Most pitiful of all coronations was
that of Henry III, at the age Of 8
years in the year 1907. England was
a prey to anarchy, armies OF France
were invading the land, only a few
mobiles still surrounded the little
king. The crown and royal jewels
had been lost by the late King John
in fordiug The Wash, an estuary OF
the North Sea. Speed seemed so
essential that the forlorn little band
supporting Henry decided to have
him hastily crowned at Gloucester
with simple fillet Of gold. As 1t
turned out his was long, IT In
glorious, reign.

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR'S
CROWNING SET LONDON AFIRl

Angles and Saxons much anyway
(and they had pretty good reason
not to like him either, and stood
in considerable danger Of life and
limb. So when crowds outside the
Abbey began yelling, Williams SOL
diers amagined the noise was a
unified menace or razzberry, and
maybe 1t was.
Williams marines landed to es-
tablish order, and did so with
swords, battleaxes, and other un-
friendly tools. The slaughter was
considerable, and then the troops
tried a little arson. Pretty soon, a
sizeable section Of London was
blazing merrily.
Meanwhile only william and a
few priests were left inside the Alb
hey and the ceremony was finished
before practically no witnesses.

RICHARD I HAD
TRIPLE CEREMONY

Richard The Lionhearted seemed
to like being crowned. 1t got to be
a habit with him. The first time
was at Westminster In 1850. Fear
ing that, like vaccination, it hadn't
taken or had worn off, he was
crowned again eleven years later.
This was on the island Of Cyprus
during the Crusades. Just to make
1t good, he did 1t all over again IN
Winchester when he returned to
England.
His first coronation was the worst
because of the massacre that &C.
companied 1t. The persons who
were massacred were Jews, the
Crusaders Of those days being as
resolute anti-Semites as will be
found today in any German beer
garden. Jewish homes made good
bonfires, too.

BAT WAS OMEN
OF FLOCK OF TROUBLE

A bat, disturbed by SO many peo-.
pie being in church, circled and cir
cled around the head of Richard the
Lion Hearted during his Westmins-
ter coronation. It was an evil omen.
When Richard, on that same occa-
sion, himself lifted the crown from
the altar and handed 1t to the
Archbishop it was also considered
bad luck. Richard wanted to prove
that 1t was by his own consent that
the church could crown him.
Churchmen, jealous Of their pre-
negatives, shook thelr heads.
The most jealous churchman OF
all, however, was that archbishop OF
Canterbury who functioned at the
coronation of the queen consort OF
Henry I. Seeing a crown on the
head Of the king he abruptly
snatched It on. He imagined, the
historian explains, that "his right
to put on the monarch's crown had
been infringed."
It wasn't q bat, but another bird,
which troubled the superstitious

VICTORIA AND HEIRS
HAD BETTER LUCK

Nicer manners set In with Vic
toria. She was the belle Of her, own
coronation, a bewildering apparition
to the assembled multitudes who
didn't know what to make Of being
ruled by girl of 10. One unfore-
seen episode occurred. Overcome
with years and emotion, old Lord
Rollo rolled down the steps Of the
throne on his way to offer homage
to his sprightly sovereign. She
1eaped from her chair, lifted the
ancient noble, accepted his allegi-
ance at the steps, and seated her
self again, all with such natural
grace as. endeared her to all hearts,
the chronicle tells,
Her son, Edward VII, repeated
this kindly, simple act when the
then Archbishop Of Canterbury
seemed on the verge of collapse.
And Edward added homely, pater-
nal touch of his own when he was
seen to kiss the cheek Of the Prince
Of Wales, later George v, and press
his hand during the ceremony Of re-
ceiving homage God bless you, my
son." ne said.
There is a certain poignancy IN
the record that George v gave
similar fatherly blessing when MS
own eldest son knelt before him. NO
doubt 1t all seemed simple then. Lit
tie Edward In turn would sit in that
high place, would receive the fealty
of a great people, would commence
a long and no doubt glorious reign!
How could loving father imagine
the untoward events which were to
make that boy a virtual exile from
his own land, an absentee from the
throne which was his by long her
itage, from that coronation cere-
mony where he might have been
the unique and shining figure!

nounced to all within hearing that
the chill was not half bad-it was

not going to pay for it. Nee Wong,
so, and Lin Tai, rs, Chinese proprie-

HALLE @. BROWN FORUM
NEWS

The Halle @. Brown Forum for
March Ia promises to be one that is
close.
Chemical Quackery" is the subject
which DR.. VIM. Tomsicek has chosen
for discussion at the Halle Q. Brown
Forum on Sunday, March IA. This
is a subject about which we should
be interested in learning as much as
possible since some phases of it con-
Germ us all. This topic will do much
to dispell our ignorance about GER
tain, "so-called" patented medicines,
which we are prone to buy quite reg
ularly, and will show us that adver-
tisements about different products on
the markets are actually harmful to
us; and that for other products we
are paying for the container rather
than the product.
DR.. Tomsicek is professor in the
Chemistry Department of st.
Thomas College, st. Paul.
Among the products to be dis
cussed at the meeting are: Cold
tablets and headache tablets; reduc-
ing preparation; cosmetics; hair
remedies and soaps, hair removers,
soaps and deodorants, tonics, etc.
We urge you to come out and hear
a most profitable talk.
