TWO a PAGE CHIEF EVENTS OF THE WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer When Judge Kennedy handed down his decision at Cheyenne upholding ex-Secretary of the Interior Fall's Teapot Dome leases to Harry Sin- clair, friends of all the men hit by the oil inquiry hurried to Preside Coolidge with the news. “Everybody vindicated!” cried. The president was strangely un enthusiastic. He couldn't forget that Judge McCormick, at Los Angeles, decided the Doheny case the other way. This doesn’t prove anything,” he’s quoted as having rasped. “Let's see how it comes out on appeal.” That cautious New England tem- perament again! WISCONSIN Since Senator La Follette’s death, Washington's eyes have been turned in intense interest on Wisconsin The late senator's political organ ization is in control there and can fill his seat for the balance of his term, which expires in 1929. But whether it will be able to re tain his place after that depends largely upon the choice of the in- dividual to hold it in the meantime Mrs. La Follette seems the strong- est candidate, if she will accept. Attorney General Herman Ekern is said to have been La Follette’s own choice as his successor, though the titular head of his party, with his death, is Gov. John J. Blaine. Congressman John M. Nelson, Progressive leader in the House of Representatives, also is in the front rank, they IN THE ARCTIC Nothing fret# members of — the MacMillan-Navy arctic expedition more than the suggestion that they're hunting the north pole. The party, now on its way, aims C to study the polar region in general, especially with a view to finding new land in the far north, but it has no interest in the pole itself. Why does it seek land in so re- mote a spot? Well, for one thing, as a stopping place for airplanes, short-cutting across the pole. And there are hints of oil in the arctic tes. Scientific curiosity has something to do with the trip, too. If the expedition does find land, it means to annex it for the United States. Canada, on the other hand, says any islands between her north- ern coast und the pole belong to her. This may mean an argument—but not war. CAPTAIN AMUNDSEN Captain Amundsen, back in Spitz- bergen from his aerial polar dash, doesn’t much think the MacMillan outfit will find any land, At any rate there's no arctic continent, he says. Amundsen didn’t cover the whole field, however. Even agreeing there’s no continent,’ there may be big islands he missed. Amundsen, by the way, tetur from the top of the earth, was pi up by a fishing boat, How did that fishing boat happen to be in waters only explorers are supposed to penetrate? It recalls the story of Walter Wellman who, in distress in one of the highest latitudes ever attained by any explorer of his time, was rescued by a sealer—south-bound. It’s one thing to explore—some- ent to go to the d thing entirely diffe same place in the course of the or- dinary day's hard work. CHINA The row in China has scared the western world considerably, and it isn’t over yet, It isn’t likely to develop into much of a fight, but the Chinese have turned sulky, and while they can be licked, they can’t be driven. They're bound to be recognized as human beings, and sooner or later they will. The State Department speaks slightingly of President Alfredo Palacious of the Latin-American who refers to Secretary Kel- logg’s warning to President Calles of Mexico as “an insolent threat of the imperislism of Wall Street.” In fact he is a very influential Argentine, one of the best known men in South America (Copyright, 1925, NEA POULTRYMEN WAR ON RATS WITH AID OF POISON GAS Tacoma, July 1.—()—Plans are now being laid for a gas attack on the rats that are causing poultrymen of western Washington a loss of thou- sands of dollars a year. The United States biological survey, the experi- ment station of the State College of Agriculture and poultrymen, through their association, are coop- erating in the warfare. The method of attack will be to force calcium cyanide into the rat burrows under building floors and foundations. The calcium cyanide, coming into contact with the mois- ture of the air, forms hydrocyanic acid gas, in a concentration of which no animal can live. Recently a demonstration of this gas was held on a poultry farm near here under the supervision of Dr. Leo K. Couch of the biological survey. On this farm were four ildings housing 3,500 hens and made ly rat proof as possible, Rat ever, had burrowed under the cement floors and foundations and through the concrete itself, causing a loss in grain and poultry estimated a year. The calcium cyanide was pumped into the burrows, and 163 dead rats were taken out. These are believed to be only a part of those killed. LONDON ADOPTS AMERICAN IDEAS IN HOUSEBUILDING London, July 1—(@)—The London County Council is tired of the or- thodox white or red brick house and is going to experiment with buff, brown, red and white colored concrete buildings. ‘The council’s architect, G. T. For- Fee aid recently there was some. thing monotonous in a long series of dingy grey houses and, having noticed on a recent visit to the United States an attempt had been made to relieve this monotony by the use of colored materials, he intended to follow suit. On the council’s Becontree, Essex, estate, some 3,000 houses will be erected in which the Ameriean idea of mixed colorings will be adopted. “Service, Inc.) MRS.

I fought for the seat, and I got it. I did not enjoy it, but I did sit there and wonder how I could ever have been afraid of bugs. : Life had moved swiftly for within the last hour. For years I had wanted to tee the inside of a jail from the inmate's point of view, and for months I had schemed how T might do it One day a good friend said in my presence a few of the things he felt about persons who were too chicken- hearted to prosecute those who wronged them. glance of welcome and scuttled off into} stale tobacco smoke, food in the ted corners of d all.

His new coat was inside, and the door was unlocked, I waited until I saw him coming up the street. Then I reached in, grasped his coat and started to walk away. I did not look back, but I felt he was quickening his pace. “That’s my coat,” he said at my getting used to the thought that soon I las the rats whose during the days that breath I took in that Just before the MacMillan-Navy Arotic Expedition casset, Me., Lieutenant M.

I had secy their hats, and for the Present, thdre was ndthing else about them that I wanted to see. But I was doomed not only to see | the women’ themselves, but to eat with them, to talk with them, at times to peer down into the abyss where their crafty, ugly. depraved, thoughts writhed. A scuffle, a curse, a sharp com- mand, the sound of the impact of flesh on flesh brought me suddenly to my feet. | In the outer room the matron and a policeman were bringing in a new prisoner. It was 'a sort of free-for- all wrestling match. The three plunged into the room, The policeman and the matron with a deft twist of their strong arms dispatched the woman prisoner with |a reeling velocity into one of the cells. Livid Rage In livid rage, she regained her feet and made for the door. It slammed in her face and the rasping bolt was shot. Her fury broke into a orm of such language as I had not imagined existed on the earth, The policeman went out, straight- ening his clothes. The matron was rubbing her wrist, which was red j and swelling from an ugly scratch. She said nothing. This was a mere ‘trifle in comparison to many of the hurts she received. I went back to my cell, shaken with fright.

Nothing could shock me anew, I thought. But I was wrong. Looking up, I saw one of the pret- tiest girls I had ever looked at, framed in the doorway of my cell. She was young, slim and graceful. Her hands were delicate and her feet small. Her clothes reflected ex- quisite taste. She had good ‘features; fine gray eyes, a well poised head and an ap- pealing expression, » stood and stared at me. (Copyright,- 1925, NEA: Service, Inc.)

The payments came from an {unemployment insurance fund of more than $1,200,000 originally con- ceived by a special commission ap- pointed by Governor Smith, and now jointly borne by employers and em- | ployes themselves. ; Workers pay in to the fund one j per cent of their wages each week lthey are employed. Manufacturers jcontribute two-thirds of the weekly payroll. If the manufacturers tack Jon the amount of their preponderant jassessment to the selling price of jcloaks and suits, it hus been said, the | workers will be receiving part-pa vacations during otherwise “off” se sons, two-thirds of which will be paid | by the well-dressed woman. | The gubernatorial — commission, | however, saw substantial benefits ac- leruing from this unemployment in- { surance.

By its recent vote the na- tional legislature has sustained the proposal of the Social-Democratic government to cut down the number of army corps from six to four and to reduce all army and navy expendi- tures accordingly. All the parties of the Left, Liberals Social-Democrats and Communists, supported this move in the teeth of determined opposition from the right wing conservatives. At the same time the officers’ rooms in one of the for- mer regimental barracks of Stock- holm have already been reconstructed into emergency tenements for famil- ies unable to procure other housing, and the city itself runs a real estate bureau, where information may be had free of charge as to where vacant flats or houses may be found With an_ unprecedented _ building activity going on, the end of housing shortage is in sight. Within the lim- its of Stockholm itself close to 3,060 new apartments are under construc- tion and in the suburbs entire -om- munities are growing up.

He desires to square his debt with the owner of the bas ket, which he stole while passing through Williamsport in August, 1887.
