rAGE Yeee HUGHES TQ BE BIGGEST FORCE IN THE CABINET Foreign Policy to Place Him in Prominent Position. By A. L. BRADFORD (Onited Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Sept. 22—(United Press.)—Charles Evans Hughes, the secretary of state, it is believed here, will be the “big man” of Presi- dent Coolldge’s cabinet. This is because of two main reasons. 1. That Presi@ent Coolidce prot ably will give Hughes greater free dom in the running of his depart- ment than any other head of de partment in the cabinet. 2. That there is a possibility, that events and the development of the foreign policy of the United States may place Hughes in a more prominent position than any other man {n the government, save only the president. All this, of course, rests on the assumption that Hughes will re- main in the cabinet. However, there ts no reason to believe that he will not continue in Mr. Coolldge'’s of- ficial family Hughes Likes His Job. Once during the early days of the Haring administration, when Mr. Hughes was asked regarding a re- port that he would soon resign secretary df state to be sppointed chief justice of the supreme court by Preaident Harding, he expressed himself fm about the following words: “T have a job here. T lke it and I intend to stick on t.’” According to the belief here, only condition that Hughes has attached, mentally or other wise, to his continuance in the cabinet is that he be allowed a dominant part in the running of his department—that is, that he be the real head of the state depart- ment and not simply a “rubber stamp.” Mr. Coolidge $s not known here as @ vory close student of the in ternational course, he takes a great in world affairs. In view of the great confusion and intricacy of tho present Huro- pean situation, it is expected that the President will lean heavily on the guidance of Hughes in develop- ing American foreign policy. Mr. Coolidge is expected to con- fine himself largely to finally pass- ing on the steps taken by Hughes and directing the foreign policy along ines in conformity with his unannounced policies to the people of the United States. To Guide the Werté. Going to the second cause that may develop Hughes into a figure known as the “big man” of the cabinet, observers here point out that events may see the United States before the end of the Coo Midge administration in dominant world position, pointing the way for Europe out of chads to peace and stability. This development may come at any time, it is thought in informed quarters here, ‘The American government its tak- ing care not to intervene in the Buropean situation in any way that would unnecessarily involve it in the political controversies of the old world or place this country in the the ever interest Position of taking sides in favor of | one country against another. But this government has expressed its readiness to aid in a European eet- tlement if its help is requested by all the countries concerned and when the in @ practicable plan through which the United States can act with some effectiveness. In such an event it ts believed that Hughes agein would stand out as ® leading world figure just as he was during the disarmament conference here, almast two years ago. ae PRIZES POSTED FOR LOCAL KNITTERS BY CHILD'S SHOP HERE The Child's Craft & Gift shop, which is connected with the Kop- per Kettle Inn in the 0-8 building, {a announcing a contest for local knitters, to commence tomorrow and end on Saturday evening, November 17, running for eight weeks. The proprietors, Mesdames O'Brien and Comfort, have decided to offer two valuable prizes for this contest, which is open to girls and women of any age; the first prize will be a Venitian vase, with im- ported shade, and the second prize,| an imported sofa pillow. The judges of the contest will be the Mesdames B. B. Brooks, P. C. Nicolaysen and GR. Hagens. This knitting contest tw with similar contests which ing held in various parts of the country, designed to keep up in- terest in the useful art of knitting and are drawing numerous contest nts, included among who was Mrs Calvin Coolidge, wife of the presi- dent of the United States. Since the termination of the World war, there has been no special incentive for women to engage in knitting and many of them are losing the skill which they acquired during those dayn ntests of this kind will tend to re-establish this waning in terest in line are be- c > The women's garment-making in dustry in N York City employs over 76,000 wort ~r, as | situation, although, of | woe Unepey Suro wriverw OTIS L.

That all along back through his lineage there were ex- cellent citizens devoted to country, |to betterment of community, hav- ing in mind at all times the serious rather than the frivilous things of life. They stamped thelr ideas upon not only their own people, but all people who came within the in- fluence of their example, until in the older states of Pennsylvania and New York the Quaker conduct the hall-park of honor, integ rity and all that was desirable in citizenship. Even after the first families had grown large in descend ants and these had scattered along the lels to the westeward, wherever you came in contact with & Quaker son or daughter, they ad. hered to the plain and wholesome old principles of life and business, taught by the forebears, that at once gave them standing in the new environment.

LONDON, Sept. 22—(United | Press.—If Mars is to be signalled) from the earth the attempt will have greater chances for success jn the Summer of 1924 than usual, accord- ing to P. M, Ryves, English astron- omer. Next Summer Mars and the earth will approach each other compara- tively closely. The intervening distance will be a mere 856,000,000 miles, The most powerful earth telescopes | ean pick up a dot of thirty miles diameter on Mars. To discern shape the dot must be at least 100 miles across, A line a mile wide and sev- eral miles fong is also visible from the earth. If Mars is peopled with intelligent beings possessed of instruments as powerful as those on the earth the figures given also apply to visibility from that planet to this one. It 1s scientifically possible to pro- duce flashes of light which would be visible from Mars to the earth and conversely from the earth to Mars if there were anyone on Ma: to see them. The wireless bubble ts pricked, ac- cording to Ryves. Although the most powerful send- ing apparatus on earth will just reach the moon, the distance to Mars is too great by 150 times. A large squadron of airplanes tra!l- ing smoke might produce a line visible as far away as Mars. If Ryves makes the attempt he will use flashes of light. Intelligent beings on Mars would answer his flashes, he thinks, ‘waking up.” here, a “new canal” there are the evidences upon which Ryves ‘bases his belief that the great |planet 1s far from a dead world. Ryves has devoted the Iast twelve of Mars. His telescope is mounted on an 8,000-foot hill. From this | vantage point he ts nightly straining his eyes for some confirmation of the much-argued assertion that there are living beings on the far off body. Since Mr. Darwin eyolved his | famous theory relative to the descent of man, the possibilities of life on Mars have taken on new and in- teresting aspects. If {t ia really true that W. J. Bry- @n is descended from the same stock as the giant apes, then the life of Mars must be equally the result of natural selection. The possibilities are endless. There is believed to be a haze of gas, analogous to the air of the earth bout the surface of Mars. Obviously, then, the surviving creatures on the planet must be equipped with a filtering apparatus to permit life to exist. If the sur- rounding gas is of similar compos!- tion to the air of the earth, the filtering apparatus would probably resemble the nasal equipment of earth animals, with only fine hair within the nostrils to catch and de- tain physical matter, such as dust. If, however, the atmosphere of Mars is composed of poisonous va- pors the Marsians nose would neces- sarily resemble a war-time gas mask in operation, if not in appearance. According to Darwin, every por- tion of the body is formed to cope with existing conditions. entirely different conditions must re- sult in equally different bodies. Living Beings on Mars. This fact whets the scientists’ tm- agination. The discovery of white in the South would pale into nothing compared to the proof of the ex- istence of living beings on Mars, During his study of the planet Ryves has noted comparatively sud- den changes in the face of the body.
