Lincoln Anecdote ß "I knew Colonel Waters of Kan sas City well. Many times I have > listened to him tell about Lincoln. ' He pr/rticed law on the circuit with Lincoln for several years and knew Lincoln like the back of his hand He loved Lincoln as though he were the greatest man who ever lived, but explained that those ; earls days in Illinois were what has been called a crude age. According to our methods of conduct the people of that day were unrefined. Lincoln had therefore peculiar, ways. "The colonel said that in those I days everybody caried a bandana . handkerchief and always blew their noses with a snort. Lincoln carried a bandana that was as big as a bed quilt and when he blew his nose with a snort it bulged his office windows out. "Lincoln in everyday conversation spoke the daily language of the Middle West. The colonel explained that it would offend our ears now with its homely words for refined subjects, but that Lincoln when addressing the court and' making a speech spoke the purest of English. "It is said that Irvin Cobb copied the Judge Priest method of the two languages, one for the cracker box gang and the other for the bench, from this habit of Lincoln. "Mr. Lincoln was physically lazy although his mind always went at top speed. In conversation he would drawl his words. He did not ilke to stand and talk. He always wanted to sit, and sit hunched up in his chair. If sitting down he would cross his legs. He al-

"The colonel further explained that in those times the pioneers shaved but once a week, and that. ;on Saturday. Lincoln was no exI ception in his earlier years.

TO RETURN NR A TO ONE MAN JOB Seven - Man Administra* tive Board Not Functioning Properly (Copyright 1935 by United l‘re«H) 'Washingion. P***. 12 (U.R) •- President Roosevelt was revealed In authoritative quarters today eq preparing to return NBA to oneman control. Functioning of the seven-man administrative board which took over the recovery unit in October from Administrator Hugh S Johnson has been beset with difficulties. It has been virtually impossible to compose the widely varying viewpoints of members. Ixtoking forward to extension of the recovery act by congress for a two-year period after next Juno 16. the President was reported planning to put administrative authority again In one man's bands, as in days of General Johnson. To support the administrator. an advisory board would be sot up with three-party representation. industry, labor and the consumer. A factor in this change of authority is the impending departure of several members of the present board. None of them appeared in line for the administratorship. The administrative officer, W. A. Harriman, prominently mentioned a year ago to succeed Gen. Johnson, also is aw-iting completion of congressional action on the NRA to give up his post and return to private affairs as a banker and head of the Union Pacific railroad. Others who plan to denart as soon as a permanent set-up for the next two years is made are S. Clay Williams, NIRB chairman, former R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. president; Arthur D. Whiteside. on leave of absence as president of Dun & Bradstreet's; Sidney Hillman, president of Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union; and Walton H. Hamilton, law professor at Yale university. o INFORMATION (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) definitely decided whether to undertake the task By utilizing the existing agencies as represented by the Ickes-Hopkins-Moffett-Morgan - Fechner board, the president will have the benefit of experience, organization and a wide scope of opportunity. The PWA, headed by Ickes, has some $1,000,000,990 in approved projects which can be undertaken loss of time. \Hopkins' organization has the relief rolls and a country wide organization steeped in experience. Modfett's housing organization can lY speeded up under the new plan. I, Since\the president plans to use some oft his relief funds in working out 'a coordinated system of power development. Morgan's place in the set-up becomes apparent. The CCC lias become a permanent part of the new deal policy and naturally Fechner will have a hand in its administration with a portion of work relief funds. The $4 880.000,009 bill itself was
