WJASHINGTON-Most forecasts
w as to the type Of neutrality
legislation which Congress will
pass at this session indicate that
sometimes we will mean it and
sometimes we won't. .
Experts who have revealed their
views on the problem usually are
convinced either that there is no
such thing as neutrality or that,
even if there is, there's little
chance of this country ever keep
ing completely aloof from big
war through legislation. :
There is so much difference on
these and numerous other points
that many of the people who feel
most strongly about keeping out
IF war are all mixed up.
Some of them feel that the
United States can't help having an
economic and political interest in
any big war. Others fear that
the fact no neutrality policy can
operate impartially is always
likely TO drag us intoi trouble
against our will, because there'll
always be chance that some ma
ton will feel our policy is diScrim-
mating against it.
ONE vociferous school Of thought
" holds that only mandatory
legislation automatically embargo
ing implements of war to. belliger-
ent nations, along with other, safe
guards. can keep us at peace
But the outlook is. for a',law
which will allow the president and
the state department considerable
discretion in invoking such safe
guards. Even those shouting loud
est for mandatory" legislation
admit the president should have
some discretion over embargoes as
to war supplies other than NUM-
tons.
Although one principle of man.
datory legislation would be that
whatever embargoes were de-
ciared should be enforced against
all belligerents, one med only re-

Lesson for Feb. IA. John l0:l-l6

]
In Bible times much thought
was given to the occupation OF Il
shepherd---a leader.
People, like sheep, are gregari-
Gus. They flock together and
gladly follow a leader that IS sin
cerc and have their interests at
heart ". 81. q,
The real leader, in true Oriental
custom, leads his flock, whether 1t
consists of men or sheep. Some
sclf-appointed leaders prefer the
western style of shepherding-go-
ing bchind--driving the flock ".
! ~. -,
Only a sick sheep, they say, will
follow stranger. Perhaps tins ac--
counts for so many followers OF
self-appointed, ambitious impos-
tors posing as leaders ". 81. ,
Beware of those self-designated
leaders who "entereth not by the
door into the shcepfold, ut climb
I eth up some other way: the same
! is 4 thief and n robber."
There is a routine for selecting
good shepherds-community lead
ers-and those who are not faith
ful and unsclfish enough to prove
! their worthincss in the customary
way should he suspected OF evil
motives when they begin to climb
over the wall Of the shcepfold
rather than follow the accustomed
way of civic. activity.
The leader who would lead by
trying to climb by some round
about way will bear watching. He
usually wants to reform some
thing (v.D.
The successful leader cannot be
selfish-leading merely for what
there may be in it." This type OF
"leadcr" is like the "hireling,"
who is not always faithful to the
welfare of the flock - DESERVING
when the Evolves" of adversely

for his sheep.
The quality Of leadership is de-
termined by HON the leader acts
in tight place e.. i2y.
Some coyct leadership for pres
tigc and selfish gain. Worthy
civic leaders have the welfare Of
their followers at heart. They wish
for them the larger life, fuller
expression of the people that
"they might have it more abund-
antly" 81. 8, 10).

LOS ANGELES, May 6 U.N.S0.
Following are the pertinent ex-
cerpts from the deposition given
by Mrs. Margaret Fillmore, sister
of Mary Miles Minter, which to-
day caused the long-dead William
Desmond Taylor murder case to
be re-opened.
The deposition in civil action
between Mrs. Fillmore and her
mother, Mrs. Charlotte Shelby
was taken by Mrs. Shelby's at
torney, Clyde F. Murphy.
Question (by Murphy): 81
notice the bank record shows
that you and your sister used
the same safety deposit box
starting in August Of last year?"
Answer (by Mrs. Fillmore:
81 did that on purpose. 1 did
it to give her a place to put her
two diaries which were SO
diabOlical and so pathetic they
made Mary AStOr'S diary look
like q postscript. / didn't want
Mrs. Shelby to publish them
against the girl"

Laughlin Park property in which
Mrs. Fillmore was asserted to have
profited to the extent Of $133, 0000
MORAL OBLIGATION
Q.-"WaS Mrs. Shelby under
any legal or moral obligation to
you in the year 1928, to give you
$1SS,OOO?"
Al wouldn't call It legal.
The moral obligation would be
q matter Of opinion, but it was
more or less standing by her

vices in that regard were reason
ably worth $133,0OO?"

mrs. Fillmore refused to an

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Senator McCarran said
"WhO is responsible to the

The Budget Bureau or Congress?
Congress is responsible for the

cit Is said that this proposed
reduction in appropriations will

do otherwise than reduce sal

salaries?

Dome Of the Invalides

The great dome of the Invalides
church, beneath which Napoleon's
tomb lies, was built by Mansart at
the beginning Of the seventeenth
century on Grecian lines and con-
sists of two cupolas. The first of
these, in twelve painted compart-
ments, opens Immediately above the
tomb, says the Baltimore Sun. The
remains Of Napoleon were placed in
the beautiful tomb in 1910 with great
ceremony. Looking down upon 1t
from the marble rail above, it is
seen suffused in soft sunset glow,
obtained by the finely tinted win
dows, yellow at the sides and blush
above. The great sarcophagus is
cut from single block of magnifi-
cent Finland granite, of a rich red,
presented by the Gar Nicholas.
This slab rests upon a base of

agus is the work of Visconti.

INTERESTING
GOLF TOURNEY
DIR. Hart, Of Long Prairie, Award
ed Championship In Ten-Hole
Finale

It would seem that the glad hand
in golfing circles goes to a certain
Long Prairie divot digger this
week by reason Of his winning the
championship trophy in the Sum
day short stop tournament at the
local Country Club. It was Bob
Hart, smooth stroking Long Prair-
lie medic, who, shooting his way
over a 30 entry star-studded roster
Of Central Minny golfers, matched
stroke for stroke with Bud Smith,
Minneapolis, to win fever pro-
ducing match in a ten hole finale.
DR.. Hart, conquesting first H.
Vego, Of Glenwood, and then his
brother-on-the-links, Scow, Of
Long Prairie, wound up % holes
the winner. It was Bud Smith who
first Of all dumped Billy Hart, of
Long Prairie, and then eliminated
Bernard Schoenhoff to meet up
with the invincible Doctor. Bud,
considered q power man on the 10
cal links and associated with the
Bierman edition Of the Colder Co
piers, set the pace TOR rne match
when he came up to the 9th OF
that last round one-up.
On a blazing links with heat
fairly radiating from drying fair
ways, the two survivors of the
championship round played before
sizeable gallery. AS they came
up to the ninth with Bud one up,
the turning point Of the match
doomed. while Hart teed off
straight down the fairway, Bud
walloped out one Of the long drives
cleaning UP nearly 300 yards. The
general direction, however, sent
him out Of Sounds over the first
fairway withrlong yardage to the
cup. Even then Bud came back to
lose only his one advantage and
the 8 holes ended a tie. Then on
the tenth Hart played his best
hole when on a par 5 he captured
birdie, and Bud stopped over to
take 6.
Winning low medal honors for
the day was Bernie Schoenhoff
who turned in IS low to win
himself a berth on the champion
ship flight. Others in the high
bracket were: HI. Vego, of Glen
wood, c. Scow, Long Prairie, D. B.
Caughren, Cliff Vego, Glenwood,
