A Puzzle a Day

Start at any circle in the diagram and draw a straight line from its center to the center of any other circle. From there turn at an angle and travel to another. The puzzle is to follow a course that will include all the circles once and no more. The course must not be broken; a turn must be made at ev4ry circle, and no lines of the course may cross. The line, for example, may not run from 1 to 6 to 11; or 13 to 9 to 5, as no turns will be made at 6 or 9. The course shown in the diagram does not meet the conditions, as circle 13 is not 'ncluded and cannot be, because the course from 15 to 14 may not be continued.

GOAL MOVE MAY GRANGE TREND OF U. S. GOVERNMENT End of Extremely Centralized Power Seen in Strike Activity. By LAWRENCE MARTIN United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 19tS, oy United Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—The outcome of Governor Pinchot’s effort to avert the anthracite coal strike Is important, far beyond the immediate question of getting coal ta consumers this winter, though that at the moment is the over shadowing consideration. It is important far beyond its effect on the political fortunes of either Pinchot or President Coolidge. This important act of Coolidge in putting up the strike situation to Pinchot may become the first step in a new national policy, which, broadened out from this beginning, will change the whole aspect of American Government. Decentralization Started In recent years the whdle trend has been to centralize authority and responsibility in the Federal government, the president and Congress. The war, of course, gave this trend a tremendous impetus, and since then there has-been widespread complaint about ft, without any very effective efforts to break away from it. Coolidge, by one stroke, has opened the way. however, to a sort of decentralization that, if it succeeds in the present instance could very easily

Aug. 28.—General Telini, president of the commission for ’ deJimltaton of the Greek-Albanian frontier, was Assassinated today by a party of unknown gunmen who ambushed his motor car on the Santa Kuaranta highway. His chauffeur, Sergeant Major Scorti and his aide de. camp, Conatti, were also killed., Officials are doing their utmost to apprehend the guilty parties. be extended to apply to numberless other governmental problems. That such de-centralizatlon might incidentaHy prove one of the most sagacious political moves of recent history is the belief of many competent observers. Probolem Localized What Coolidge did in asking Fine hot to handle the hard coal situation was to localize the problem. Congress has been asked to legislate to make coal and railroad strikes Impossible and it has tried to legislate, even whtth it was obvious to everybody in Washington that the only effective means of Federal action would be far too drastic for the government of a republic. In the present situation, for instance. it might become necessary for Pinchot to seize the anthracite mines in the aame of the has reached Federal authorities here that he will go to that length 4f it becomes necessary, though he realizes the difficulties such a step would Involve. But these difficulties would be infinitely greater and the after-conse-quences much more prolonged if th Federal government were to seize the mines. ' A To Represent Boy Scouts. Scout Executive F. O.
