supply Of tact. Raised it himself!
Doused it with lime, bone meal,
fertilizer. Covered it with top-soil,
peat moss, mulch.
The son of an Army officer, he
had to learn early to do things by
the numbers. Then he quit his
native Rochester, N. Y, to be 4
mine superintendent, with tempera-
mental straw bosses cluttering up
every shaft. Then the World War
rolled around and he was a
loWly minstrel-no, a captain-who
couldn't raise his eyes without sight
ing a brass hat. Beleaguered, sur
rounded, he nevertheless managed
to combine neat I. @. with such
tact that shortly he moved into the
Division Of Military Intelligence.
From that to the State Department
was an easy slide down grade. He
has been professional diplomat
since 1924, and since 1884 pretty
much top hand, racing nimbly to
spread oil wherever the waters of
international amity grew troubled.
He has been in Berlin since 1887.
The pay-off is that, for all his
tact, he likes a practical joke no
less than Jack Dempsey, Americas
foremost exponent of the hot-foot.
His brother Psi Upsilons have re-
membered this to his discredit since
his undergraduate days.

Proposed Act 10 Beautify
Roadsides Circulated

A new weapon in the fight to elm
mate unsightliness along highways
was put in circulation today when
the American Automobile Associa-
ton began distribution of copies of
a proposed uniform act for roadside
development and control.
The measure, approved by motor
club councillors at the recent A. A. A.
annual convention, calls for the
elimination of billboards, "shanties,
ramshackle eating places and other
eyesores that obstruct the view on
most OF our well-traveled highways y
Principal provisions of the act
provide for establishment of a pro-
tected area extending 1000 feet on
each side Of the right of way, which
Is not to be available for business or
industrial use; establishment of So
foot strips on both sides of high
ways, in which only stands selling
goods manufactured, or produce
raised, on the premises may be
erected, and authority to be dele
gated to make and enforce regula-
tions dealing with the appearance
and sanitation of all roadside cater
ing establishments.
In other action at the annual con-
vention, the A. A. A. sharply criti-
cized the practice of some States in
allowing cattle and other livestock
to roam at will on the highway, and

will suffer considerable wage cut.
If, on the other hand, American ef-
f1ciency and chronological advances
can keep prices down, the attendant
hardships will be easier to bear. The
administration firmly believes that
it can move the annual national in
come up to 1000 900, 900 in the
next three years and statistics can
be collected to balance the budget
without changing the present tax
rates. Any budget can be balanced
if the monetary units purchasing
power is gradually cut down and
business volume continues to ex-
pand. The whole problem is one of
delicately co-ordinating dozens of
factors and this, it may be definitely
stated, cannot be achieved in 1899.
The coming year is the beginning
really of a new cycle of two or three
years duration-an effort to digest
an inf1ationary policy at the same
time that chronological efficiency
and American ingenuity are called
upon to keep prices from skyrocket-
ing higher than labor can bear. The
year 1899 should be good business
year in the sense that it certainly
will usher in a period of much larger
business activity and demand for
goods than the year just ending.

Pulling Off Quilts.

Put it either way you like. Either
Francis j. German, president of the
United Textile Workers of America,
is pulling the quilts of bedfellows
who have shared his union mattress
for years, or they are pulling the
quilts off him. Probably the first
will be right if German hangs on
to his TOO locals, his 100000 mem
bers, in spite of breaking with the
c. I. O., and the second will be right
if his rivals in the union leave him
stripped and solitary.
Meanwhile, pulling and hauling.
he still keeps in Washington the

While most members Of House

inaugurate the first session of the
Seventy-sixth. Congress will con-
centrate on legislation, at least a
good half dozen Of them, more or
less, will be busy, from now on, run

United States. That is to say, the
aspiring statesmen in question will
seldom draw breath or cast a vote
that has not conspicuously behind
1t the possible effect on their chances
OF landing the presidential nomina-
ton OF their respective parties in
1910. Denials of that soft impeach-
ment will be the order of the day,
but the ambitions and the hopes
will burn eternal, and everybody
knows it. On the Republican side,
it is Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan in whose torso the bee buzzes
most intensively, and, as many au-
thorities think, most promisingly,
too. On the G. o. P. side of the
Senate aisle, in the probable order
of their strength at this time, are
Taft of Ohio, Lodge of Massachu-
sets and, with outside dark horse
chances, Bridges of New Hampshire.
Democratic Congressional figures,
with gnawing 1910 longings, are
Senator Bennett Champ Clark of
Missouri and Senator Millard E.
Tydings Of Maryland. Their status

presidential possibilities cannot
leave Vice President Garner out

with Cordell Hull and Jim Farley,
to run strong in popular presi-
dental preference straw-votes.
Over on the House side of the Capt.

by Representative Bruce Barton of
New York and, should he unex-
pectedly beat out Joe Martin Of

leadership, Representative Jim

One of the best stories is related
by Arthur S. Kleeman, a New

United States Commercial Attache

ported that because of Brazil's cli-
