President in Power in Troublous Times ,Tihuo* ItuchMmh. ns fifteenth Presl dent of the United States, occupied the White House when the questions of slavery end stntes rights wero dantformi-% fermenting, mg administration, from 18.17 to 1801, saw the prelude to the Civil war. Buchan an was born April 23, 1701. As a Pennsylvanian he disapproved ot slavery, hut being a strict constitutionalist nnd n Democrat, he hold to oltlclal convictions. lie publicly denied the right of secession, and refused to treat South Carolina representatives as foreign delegates. Ills chief dlilicuity was an unsympathetic congress. The Drcd Scott decision and John Brown’s raid on Harper's Ferry so stirred the nation during his administration that those events somewhat submerged his diplomatic accomplishments of settling the question of British dominion In Central America and by stopping Great Britain’s “right of search” on American ships. The first Atlantic cable was laid In Buchanan's administration. Before lie died, June J, Bachnnan wrote his own vindication of his administrative policies.—Exchange. ———— \ First Silver Tokens in America’s Coinage Old records show that silver tokens for making change were first used in tills country in Annapolis. With the consent of the government, I. Chalmers, an Annapolis gold and silversmith, in 178.3 turned out by hand sixpence, threepence and shilling coins, to combat sharpers who, after depreciation of paper money, began to cut five “quarters” out of silver Spanish dollars. Because of lack of change the cutting of Spanish dollar into halves and fourths was condoned, and even necessary, until It was discovered that expert cutters were reaping a small fortune. When expertly cut the fifths could be discerned from quarters only by keen eyesight or by weighing. Clinlmers’produced new standnrd coins and took the short pieces in exchange until the fraud was stopped.

“Know Thyself” When we obey the command, “Know thyself,” it does not mean merely that we shall learn our intelligence quotient. our lung capacity, our muscular trength. It means also that we shall know tiie origin nnd meaning of our powers and impulses. The injunction has, therefore, a historic as well as a present bearing and value. As in the case of fear we learn that impulses which may now be hindrances or actually destructive were once vitally Important. We recognize their true place, utilize their value if they have any, or else banish them from our lives. As in one sense perfect love casteth out fear, so in another sense perfect knowledge puts fear into its true place and makes man no longer its servant but its master. —Providence Journal. Music in Surgery Music Ims been employed successfully in an eastern hospital while operating on persons under a local auesthetic. Special headphones are worn by the patient, music being relayed from a phonograph in a distant room, so that it cannot disturb the surgeon or other attendants, says Popular Mechanic! Magazine. It ijas been found that the tunes ease the patient's mind, divert his attention from the operation and thus make it easier for the doctors. Although the local anesthetic eliminates pain, in many cases difficulty is experienced while operating on porsons tinder such Conditions because they remain conscious and nervous. . Insult to Injury An elderly man was cycling down the street when a dog rushed out from one of the doors and, getting under his wheel, threw him to the ground in a sitting position. The dog, In playful mood, rushed round him, seeming to enjoy it. A boy stood gazing at tlte two for a minute, and then inquired, in a quiet voice: "Did you fall?” “Well, I should think I did," said the man, rising and rearranging his clothing. "Ah,” responded the youth, as he walked away, “I thought you couldn't have sat down to play with the dog." Uniforms for Women Bow Van humanity revel when it is plagued with doubts about its dress? That is one reason why women should Insist on a uniform evening dress. Tliis uniform need not be worn always, but it should lie obligatory on formal occasions. Men may be painfully perplexed ns to the Choice between "tails" and dinner Jacket when no hint lias been given, but they should realize that women are always In tills position of wondering whether they have suited the dress to the occasion. A uniform is the solvent of such distress.—London Saturday Review. Compromising Connections “Mother, if I should die, Would I go to heaven?” “Yes, dear, I think so." “If you should die, would you go to heaven?” “Why, my dear. I hope so." “well. I hope so to. It would he awful for me up there to he pointed out as the little girl whose mother was in hell.”

RFMY SAYS JURY WILL NOT MAKE AN INQUIRY NOW iravriMKi) from page onb> mUd he did not havo the original and did not know where it could be found. Remy ignored the letter in his public statements, refusing to discuss It. This particular cheek, writes Stephenson, was for the, purpose of sending five men to St. Joseph county, to spend two weeks there, canvassing for Jackson in that territory. STt. Joseph county includes Soul it Bend and was l distinctly opposed to the Ku Klux Klan. One of the charges made by Stephenson was that he spent a huge sum to elect Jackson and had a very definite understanding about that expenditure. These checks, turned over to tlje Times with 30 other checks and documents by Lloyd H. Hill, attorney for Stephenson, at tho direction of Stephenson, are believed to be the same ones seen in the NobleSvillc jail while the former klan chieftan was awaiting removal to Michigan City state prison after bis conviction of the murder of Madge Oberholtzer. At that time, Floyd O. Christian, a Nolpesville attorney, related without contradiction, Stephenson was carefully sorting checks and documents and pinning a label to each check and he prepared it for reproduction by photographers. It was at this time that Stephenson asked Christian to take charge of the entire collection and give it to officials if he was not released within 90 days. Christian refused to do so. 1 Publication of the checks today followed tho Times’ bombshell Monday in reproducing a $2,500 check alleged to have been given Governor Jackson by Stephenson as one installment of a SIO,OOO contribution to the governor’s campaign fund. The Times promises that other documents will be made public from day to day until the collection is exhausted. Want Grand Jury Probe Indianapolis, Ind., July 12 —(United Press) —The movement for a special session of the Indiana legislature to do wh-f can be done toward righting alleged wrongs being revealed by publication of D. C. Stephenson’s private documents in an Indianapolis newspaper, was gaining headway here today.

A secret meeting of Marion county legislators and other men in public l'fe interested in clearing Indiana’s name of what they believe to be the smirch of political corruption followed publication of the $2,500 check alleged to have been given by D. C. Stephenson to Gov. Ed Jackson. Within a few days, it may be expected that a number of prominent men will join in the movement. No public statement was made regarding the meeting, but it was learned that the conferees agreed that impeachment prceeuings will be in order after all the documents have been published. The men who will be involved should not oppose such proceedings if they are innocent, it was asserted. This was the only step that had been taken today toward official action. Prosecutor William H. Remy gave out statements which some persons interpreted as discrediting the alleged Stephenson-Jackson check, but the Indianapolis Times, which pub’ished it, believed that the prosecutor was reaoting naturally in view of the fact that he Was not consulted about the publicity. Naturally, it was pointed out, he would resent the course followed, believing that widespread knowledge of the check and other papers would be only a handicap to his investigation. Boyd Gurley, editor of the Times, told the United Press that his newspaper felt that the onjy way to “Put Indiana’s house in order" was to avoid secrecy and let the people know what had happened while Stephenson was head of the Ku Klux Klan. This policy the Times will follow during the next month while it publishes, one aftey another, the original documents it received from Lloyd O. Hil', Stephenson's attorney.

Epidemic Os “Gapes” Hits Country's Chicks Washington, July 12—(United Press An epidemic of "gapes" is killing thousands or little chickens throughout the entire country this summer, according to the Agriculture Department. Gape worms get into small chickens windpipes in such a wuy as to block breathing. A few birds recover hut the majority infected witli gapes die. To avoid loss from gapes the Department recommends that poultry turkeys and areas ranged by turkeys, raisers keep little chicks away from Turkeys carry gapeworms at any age. Put littie chickens on clean ground and keep them there until they are three or four months old. Sanitation, as regards the condition of runs, houses, drinking water and feed, is helpful in the control of gapes, the department advises. Set the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pay*

“Lindborßh” Cocktails Win Motorist Big Fine Cuckficid, Sussex, England (UP) — An echo of Col. Lindbergh's visit to England has come up In the court t here on an appeal when a motorist charged with exceeding the speed limit told the magistrate he had been drinking too many "Charlie Lindbergh” cocktails. “You have only made your offense worse” said the magistrate. “Yon ought to be ashamed for using Col. Lindbergh's name in speaking of your offense.” Thereupon he imposed a stiff fire on the motorist. 666 is a prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria. It Kills The Germs
