LORD BIRKENHEAD AN INTERESTING, VERSATILE LEADER H. 6. Wells Calls Subject of Book Greatest Man in England. •ftw NEA Service LONDON, Dec. 30. —A newly published book sets out for first time In detail the still-young career of h man, scarcely known In the Unitt'd States, whom O. H. Wells calls “the greatest man In England, and of whom the Earl of Oxford and Ashulth, a bitter political opponent, •says that he has “the greatest allfound mind In the country.” The man Is the Earl of BirkenBhlre, who started life as plain P. E. Smith, earned $252 in his first year as a lawyer and worked his tvay up to $150,000 in fifteen years, Abandoned active legal practice to become attorney general and then Lord Chancellor, is now secretary of state for India in the cabinet, and probably will be before long Viceroy of India, where he will be virtually emperor of a nation whose population exceeds that of the United fetates, Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy combined. It is hardly exaggerated to say that Lord Birkenhead's career, in versatility and eminence, surpasses that of any living man—not excepting that of Mussolini. As lawyer, Judge, athlete, statesman, soldier, politician and author he has Won distinction. He has never failed in anything he has tried to do. Tells People Things Most of these things are known vaguely 'of him here. When a big political situation arises it is hinted that Lord Birkenhead is handling things—mapping out a course of action or finding ground for conciliation. He is credited with reconciling both British and Irish leaders to the compromise that resulted in the formation of the Irish Free State. It is said that rejection of his plan brought about the general strike last May. Whenever the necessity arises for an oratorical right to the law to the opposition political party Lord Birkenhead can be depended upon to administer it. He is the reverse of modest over his accomplishments, but he is not a boaster. His belief in himself is shown when he talks. He docs not 1 fcrgue, bu ttells people things. But once he did say of himself, only half humorously that he wondered how any man could be so consistently right. He is unmatched in caustic de-1 bate. Presiding over the house of lords recently, he shocked that pond-1 e.rous body by referring to Lords Londonderry and Selborne as “the! Lolly Sisters.” In almost his first

Then the Motorists Fainted Away Bu Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 30. —Tourists, arriving here from Kentucky are reporting unusual generosity on the part of farmers near Madisonville, Ky. On a short stretch of the Dixie Bee there autosist were miring in the deep gravel, but no sooner would their cars stall than a farmer would appear with a team and drag them out. “What are the charges?” the motorists would ask feebly, Searching for their wallets. ‘“Not a penny, sir. All we ask is that you come this way again,” answered the teamsters. Business men of Madisonville and Nortonville originated the free-service idea, it is said.

law case, he made an enemy and won a reputation for repartee. Keen Repartee The judge rebuked him for the remark. “That was an improper observation,” said the judge. “It was prompted by a most improper suggestion,” retorted Birkenhead —or “Freddy” Smith as he was then. "You remind me,” said the judge, “of a saying of Bacon, the great Bacon, that ‘youth and discretion are ill-wedded companions'.” “You remind me,” Birkenhead replied, “of a saying by the same great Bacon that ‘a much-talking judge is like an ill-tuned cymbal’.” "You are offensive, sir,” complained the judge. “We both are,” said Birkenhead; “the difference is that I’m trying to be but you can't help it. I am not going *to be browbeaten by a garrulous old county-court judge.” Birkenhead is one of the best judges of liquor in England; he Is a yachtsman who, when his yacht went on the rocks and the captain announced that all hands would • probably be lost, ordered a steward to bring a bottle of champagne and a box of cigars—which his doctor had forbidden him. He goes to night clubs almost every night, plays tennis during the day, exercises his three Scottish terriers by taking them wherever he goes—to cabinet meetings as well as to his office—handles a big cabinet job, and writes articles and books. He is working now on a biography of Woodrow Wilson. He would have won more recognition if he had not made so many ipmies. He, has not much opinion of ordinary people, though privately be is kind-hearted and a pleasant iompanion who is much sought aft-, m. He referred to a cabinet of his own party as “second class brains.” Prime Minister Baldwin, now his chief, was dhe of them. His own frank belief in himself is shown in the crest he selected when he became

Bu United Press RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. *o. “Dr. Router's Pills,” a guaranteed cure for common ills, have been successfully introduced in Rio. Routers, who was leaving Rio for England, checked out of his hotel room and left a pill box on the table. Eugenia Costa, the maid who cleaned the room, threw the box away. On board his ship and ready to sail, Souters missed the box. He called a policeman and hurried back to the hotel. Eugenia was questioned, and told how she had thrown the box away. A hurried search of the trash can revealed the pill box. Souters opened it and showed the surprised maid twenty-five rough diamonds. She now recommends “Dr. Souters’ Pills” as a sure cure for any ailment. EARLY~BLAZE IN STORE Fire Breaks Out on Third Floor of Furniture Company.
