President Coolidge has been requested to recall to Washington William S.

If the House im- peaches Judge English he will be tried by the Senate, making one of the few cases of the kind in the his- tory of Federal office holders since the foundation of the Republic.

That the American Government is determined to keep the American Flag flying on the seas was indicated last week when the Senate approved an item of $10,000,000 in an appro- priation bill to operate vessels which may have to be taken back from pri- vate operators because of competi- tion. The House has already approved the plan. Identical bills have been introduced in the House and Senate embodying the recommendations of the United es Coal Commission giving the svernment power to take over the mines during an emergency, with either public or private operation.

Children Sing as They Work. With a thrill, one's ey in the details of the impre round it an army 'ming. Then, suddenl sound of singing reaches onels ears. As one approaches nearer it becomes evident t this proceeds from an apparently endless procession of quaintly garbed humanity that files, ant-fashion, down a wooden incline into the pit that surrounds the Sphinx; circles the monster, and then pours upward in a steady stream on the other side. These are the workers primitively enguged in carrying aw: (in baskets which when filled the carry on their heads) the sand that is steadily being dug from the sides of the Sphinx. There arve about 800 of them and when one gets still nearer he discovers that at least three- quarters are children. Boys and girls in about equal num- bers, these youthful workers range from little kids of 6 or 7 to voungsters of perhaps 14 or 15. Arabs all, recruited from- native villages in the neighborhood, they constitute about as picturesque a rabble as one could find anywhere. All thelr little heads are turbaned, and they wear flowing robes of many different hu black and white ones preponderating. Here and there I noticed one clad in an old khaki tunic, built for a man, and coming down almost to its small wearer’s heels. These children assemble every morn- ing at 6, I was told by the French fexpert, M.

Or so I was assured. Any how, the children seem happy enough; the way they sing as they work is evi- dence enough for that. Labor at 15 Cents a Day. Bach gang, it appears, has a special- ly hired singer, generally a small boy. With a finger in one ear, and in a highly pitched voice this youngster continually chants some phrase with a special significance for the youthful Arab; one popular one being “Dia Maloo alhaloo”—translated to me as “He spent all his money on himself. This phrase, chanted by the hired minstrel, is repeated in chorus by all the little workers composing each “gang” as they file down into the pit with their empty baskets, or stream out again toting them filled with sand. These youngsters are paid at the lordly rate of from 15 cemts to a quarter a day. The sand they bring out in their little baskets is poured into trucks, which, when filled, are pushed along a small-gauge railway and emptied at a spot farther along on the astern side of the Pyramid plateau. It is planned, when the excavation has been completed, to build a con- taining wall all around the Sphinx, to prevent the sand from covering it again. Forty years have passed since the jast previous, and only partial, exca- vation of the Sphinx. And between the two former known occasions when the sand was completely cleared from the great figure there was a lapse of 2,000 years.

She labors under the delusion that she knows the solution of ev, one's problems, and she reli- glously sets herself to the straighten- ing out of all of her friend's diffi- culties. She passes through one scrape after another with sublime un- consciousness. She exemplifies in her every act “that ignorance is bliss.” All of Duley’s friends come in for their share of her priceless aid. Some of those who benefit by the innocent and beneficent propensities of the empty-headed Dulcinea are her hus- band, who Is trying to put over a big business deal; an ex-crook, a love-sick scenario writer, the debutante daugh- ter of her husband's business friend, a lawyer, and a lunatic who believes himself to be a milllonaire. All of the tangled affairs are straightened out to the satisfaction of the various human pawns in spite of Dulcy's well meant interference. Itogether the pl ¢ will be a charm- ing comedy and will provide amuse- ment for both old and young. Re- freshments will be on sale and there will be dancing afterward for those who care to remain.
