The ‘butcome of that meeting was assigned little importance by leaders, among Yoperators and miners, however, and tt seemed to be the concensus of opinion that when the joint confer- ence convenes later in the day the re- organization committee would have nothing definite or positive to report. Among many representatives of both sides the opinion prevailed that the only proposition among which both operators and miners might ‘agree would be a return to the old ‘central competitive field basis, or four state agreements. The wage agree- ‘ments formerly made jointly by the (Ohlo, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Tili- nois joint wage scale committees, for many years were the basis for wage contracts throughout the soft coal producing field. Representatives of both sides ad- mitted that the message of John Hays Hammond, chairman of. President Harding's fact-finding commission for ‘the coal industry, last night warning ‘that “your agreement will spare the ‘commission, the necessity of fixing the blame for failure to adjust your dif- ferences” had spurred them to greater efforts to bring the conference here to an agreement. : oe SEWER CONSTRUCTION IN RAMIE 13 HELD UP BY RESTRAINING INJUNCTION LARAMIE, Wyo., Jan. 3.—Lara uinte’s proposed new sanitary sewe: vonstruction program has recelyed a revere set-back with the honoring 0: & temporary injunction restrainin the*elty from enlarging the sewe: system or selling the bonds.

STOUT NTAINE FOX, whose car- toons appear daily in this paper, wanted to be a writer, and had no gift for drawing, according to his telling. ; Mr. Fox yas born and reared in Louisville and still talks like It. ‘When he graduated from, the Boy: High School, where his English teacher had encouraged him to take up Iiterature as a goal, the got a job as reporter on the Louisville Herald. Fox went to work with high jour- nalistic ideals which survived the better part of a week. He was given what-was known in the Her- ald city room as the “West End run.” That is, he made his head- quarters in the reporters’ room at City Hall, cal'ed on a few under- takers, justices of the peace, and politict and wa’ted for telephone calls from the city editor. In practice he spent his time shoot'ng craps with the opposition reporters. He learned, moreover. that scoops or beats were bad form. At 5 p. m. the reporters’ divided up thelr. gleanings, -each returning to his office w:th the same grist. This left small opportunity, for indepena- ent effort by an ambitious cub, Some one told him that a colony of men and women were conduct- ing themselves seandalously on an island in the Ohio river just below the city. Islands being out of bounds, Fox didn't ‘share his tip, Instead he hired. a farmer to row him'to the island. On landing Fox said to the farm- er: “You better wait for me here T’m with the Herald, and I'll be go-, get this story A Blow on the Jaw. Oh, you are, are you?" exclaimed & male member of the co'ony, and h't Fox with force and accuracy on the point of ‘the jaw. This blow knocked Fox 51 per cent of the dis- tance fromeliterature to art. Fox told the city editor, who told every one. A political reporter named Peters, w'th a robust sense of humor, had Fox aesigned to ac company him to the Churchill Downs race track, In the paddock Peters pointed out a large. hook- nosed person and sald:. “Get a good sketch of him, my boy. The hook-nosed man was Ed Coc rigan, Master of Hawthorne, a no- torious camera smasher and skétch artist carfer. Fox got in range and began sketch'ng “under the impres sion that Corrigan would be flat. tered.. The sketch’ was a!most fin- ished before Corrigan. noticed h!m. Hawthorne's cane just m’ssed the avt‘st’s head. Fox dropped his pencil in getting away. but saved ithe sketch. Back at the office the sketch was praised as a Ukéness and the ‘sketcher for hia temer'ty, Fox ‘confined himself thereafter to ‘art. “As a boy I had sketched as most | boys do.” he wil] tell..you, “but I had no real gift for drawing and no thought of caricature. Instead, I had a ‘very real desire to write. forced myself later on to a stiff course of reading as a preparat’on, and worked much harder at it than T ever did at drawing. The 1:10 Monon Train. “After that summer on the Heraid T went to Indiana un‘versity. In my second year there I decided to earn Part of my expenses and I made a dicker with the Herald to send them @ cartoon a day for $12 a week. I not only had to find time to work out the cartoons, but I had to stay up unt'l 1:10 o'clock every morning to mail them on the Monon train. The cartoons wouldn't fit in the first-class boxes, the other boxes were not emptied at night, and if I left the’cartoons on top of the box the village kids would use them for their own ends. Two semesters of this nearly finished me. When I went back to Louisville in the sum- mer I decided tv stay and went to work regularly as a cartoonist and sketch artist. I did what all beginners do: I followed in the paths of the great ones, albeit some distance behind. The cartoon was 2 very serious af- fair then, Its subject was either political or topical. You. read the day's news and searched for an ‘dea or the managing editor gave you one. Realizing that I had little natural bent for the work, I studiéd the technique of my betters.. I learned to draw as a man can learn todo anything—by plugging away. “I attracted enough notice after severel years to get an offer from the Chicago’ Post." John T. .Mo- Cutcheon was in his zenith then, and had begun the reyoltuton of the newspaper cartoon by introducing boy life and ‘other homely’ topics. To try to follow McCutcheon on boys was thought noth'ng ‘less than heresy. But McCutcheon’s boys were of the village and the farm. 1 had been brought upon the out- skirts of Loufsville, in a different environment. McCutcheon’s boys played) on forty-acre fields; mine on vacant lots. “I had done well enough after seven years to get a contract from @ syndicate and move'to New York. In ‘drawing for a hundred scattered papers instead of one, I realized the need of {dentifying myself in the mind of ‘my ‘readers with a serles of characters, and of;making each car toon's appeal as sure in Spokanc as in Providence, In Chicago T had be- gun to evolve some stock charac- ters,/such as ‘Thomas Edison; Jr,,* ‘Sissie’ and “Grandma, the Dembdn Chaperone,’ tut I wanted now, more and better ones.

My sister and I hurried out and rustled an- other cook. The next morn ng the new cook brought in a batch of fine biscuits, They were generally ‘ad- mired and more bespoken. After some delay a second platter of b's- cuits was brought in, not by the new cook, but by Lizzie. We all gasped and waited. “My father said, ‘Good morning, Lizzie’; she replied, ‘Good morning, Jedge,’ and Lizzie had returned to work. I hunted up the new cook and asked her how she came to qu't. “‘Lizzle, she discharged me,” she told me. “But we hired you, not Lizzie,” I suggested. “Yes, sir," was the answer, ‘but Lizzie had that job 16 years and I ain't disputin’ it with her.

In his veto message the | president declared the increase in | governmental expenditures involved would amount to “heedlessness’ and objected also to the bill's “loose pro- vision for pensioning widows.” While house attaches said the Bur- sum bill was the first general pension measure ever to be returned to con- gress with the disapproval of a pres'- |dent, Its blanket provisions apply to all surviving participants of the Mexi- |can and Civil wars, their widows and | nurses who saw active service, Introduced by Senator Bursum, re publican, New Mexico, the measure was passed by both senate and hou by overwhelming majorities. * Leaders in congress were unwilling to predict today, however, whether it would be possible to override the pres‘dent’s veto.
