At the beautiful chapel of the Seminary of Saint Sulplce at Issy, Cardinal Dubois conferred the sacred orders on sixteen priests, of whom two were Cistercian monks of the primitive observance at Vlroflaj, and on six deacons. All were former combatants In the World war, including one officer and three knights of the Legion of Honor, two with military medals and tea with war crosses.

Supreme Court Wiß Not Aid Rumely

WASHINGTON. — The Supreme court has denied a review in the case of Edward A. Rumely and others sentenced to the penitentiary during the war for falling to report to the alien property custodian their indebtedness to the German government in connection with the purchase of the New York Evening Mail. The federal government was granted a review of its case against Roland R. Pothier, chiSCged with the murder of Major Alexander P. Cronkhlte at Camp Lewis, Washington, during the World war. Together jvith Robert Kosenbluth, Pothier was Indicted in the Federal District Court for Western Washington, but the First Circuit Court of Appeals directed that the former be released on habeas corpus proceedings, and a United States commissioner in New York refused to hold Rosenbluth. Both took the position that the Camp Lewis military reservation had not completely passed under the jurls-

Court of Claims Faces Busy Session

THE Court of Claims has reconvened with a calendar of cases for the winter term which, In the aggregate amount claimed and the novelty and importance of the issues involved, exceeds all litigation ever before pending against the government at any one time. The amount Involved in the cases now pending Is approximately $2,500,000,000 mostly arising out of the World war. Claims filed against all departments of the government, among which are a large number that never have reached the court, include the following: The War department, in which claimants have filed claims involving approximately $5,000,000,000; the bureau of internal revenue, which has before it claims for rebates and refunds aggregating many millions; the shipping board, where tbe amount of cancellations alone amounted to over $850,000,000; claims for patent infringement estimated by the Department of Justice at $S00,000,000; claims

White House Guests Get an Appetite

EARLY pedestrians upon the rain-soaked streets of Washington the other morning saw a sight they will long remember. At the head of a small group of pedestrians trudged a spare man of determined aspect, who maintained a four-mile-an-hour gait well in advance of his associates. Ten feet behind him walked a mun, swathed in an overcoat, maintaining a stiff-back attitude under obvious difficulties and relying upon a cane to force his lagging footsteps In pursuit of the leader. Still behind him trudged a slightly heavier man. encased in a raincoat, who was breathing heavily up the hill to the Treasury department and whose widespread feet bespoke a state approaching exhaustion. Both of the trailers were sleepy-eyed and evidently participating In an unusual event at an unusual hour. “He nearly broke my back,” said William Wrlgley, Jr., when seeu at the White House, two hours later. “He nearly walked the hind legs off me,” added Fred Uphain. “Oh, boy, how we did,eat that breakfast,” chirped bq|h the Chicagoans in chorus. It appears that President Coolldge had both of his White House visitors called at 6:30 in the morning and fifteen minutes later they were taking the President’s morning constitutional

Kaw Strikes Oil and Three Guardians

Everett Thompson, young Kaw Indian, has an unusual distinction in that he had two guardians at the same time. He has a further distinction, as the United States government stepped in and became his third guardian, eliminating the others. He Is one of a trio of young Kaws whose restrictions have been continued by the federal government so that property and money interests might be protected, Thompson is a college graduate who came into the limelight last spring by being the first member of the Kaw Indian tribe to become wealthy from oil money. He is a fellow tribesman of Senator Curtis of Kansas. The Discovery well In the Kaw Indian country, at a point 20 mites northeast of Ponca City, was drilled in by tbe Sapulpa Refining company January 13. Other wells have been brought in, with many additional wells drilling. The first thing that Thompson did. following tbe bringing in at his oil well, was to celebrate the event by

Uncle Sam Wiß Let Hun Chaos Alone

THE American government. It has been made clear at the White House, will not take any action based on the chaotic political situation in Germany. President Coolidge made it known that the United States would make nq*, attempt to interfere with Germany's affairs nor to influence a decision for or against maintenance of a republican form of government or restoration of a monarchy. The attitude of this government, aa set forth on the highest authority, will be determined by American treaty obligations and the traditional policy of the United States, and neither in the treaty with Germany nor in the historic policy governing American relations with foreign countries is there any obligation or Justification for interference with the establishment by any country of toe form of government undear which It chooses to lira. That does net mean, it was explained, a lack of desire on toe pert of this government to be helpful, but it does mean toe linn conviction there

diction of the United States at the time of the shooting and that the state courts of Washington alone could try the case. The state courts denied that they had Jurisdiction, insisting that it was a matter for the federal, courts. The whole question of the right of national banks to establish branches and the control of states gver national banks was ordered opened. At the same time the court granted the federal government leave to file a brief and participate in argument in the test case brought by the First National bank of St. Lohis against the state of Missouri. Petitions asking for permission to take part in the arguments in the Missouri case also were filed with tbe court by the states of 5 Wisconsin. Minnesota, Indiana. lowa and Illinois.

made by the railroads which as filed with the railway administration amount to approximately $2,250,000,000; claims proportionately large arise from the housing corporation, war risk bureau, food and fuel administrations, and there are also a large number of claims of a miscellaneous character. The variety of the claims is almost unlimited. They include actions for requisitioning of ships and railroads, transportation of troops, ammunition and supplies, infringement of patents for high explosives, submarine boats and torpedoes, wireless and radio apparatus; contracts for anti-aircraft engines and guns, military and naval supplies and ammunition, appropriation of camp sites and naval bases, together with contracts for manufacturing and acts of commandeering of almost endless diversity. Many novel and Interesting questions are raised in the court, especially in suits for infringement of patents.

through the downtown streets of Washington. The route lay to the north ot *f.e capltoi, with a wide detour which brought the party back to the WlUte Mouse an hour later. * Mr. Uphain left Washington for Chicago that afternoon, and Mr. Wrigley started for New York at ‘ the same time. Both denied that they were leaving town to prevent the President from repeating the dose at 6:30 the next morning. Both Chicagoans were house guests at the White House. At luncheon in the White House Mr Coolldge had a number of Republican party leaders. These included John T. Adams, chairman, and Fred W. Up ham, treasurer of the Republican national committee; C. H. Huston, chairman of the committee's ways and means department; William Wrigley, William C. Sproul, former governor ol Pennsylvania and several others. All of those at the runqheon wer« guarded in their statements, but it was understood that one subject under dls cussion was the selection of the 192-1 convention city. Mr. Upliara has beet active in behalf of Chicago, and soim are inclined to regard the selection ol Chicago as sure. Official Washington is inclined tc think that the Democrats may also meet In Chicago, though New York seems to be actively bidding for the convention.

getting married. Miss Olaviene Bellmard, a pretty young Kaw Indian woman, became his bride. She is also a college graduate and bad set out to become a business woman. Thompson's land holdings amounted to only an 80-acre tract in 1923. Recently Thompson, with the consent of his guardian, the United States, bought a quarter section tract, several miles southwest of his original holding, for $35,000. It adjoins one of Senator Curtis’ quarter sections.* It was thought necessary by the officials of Kay county and those of the United States Indian department that Thompson, then not 21 years old. should have a guardian, and both acted. This was in February, a month after his oil discovery and in the same month as his wedding. Tbe county named a guardian and the Indian agent of the Kaws named one. Now the United States has stepped ihv and continued restrictions of Thompson for a number of years, taking over ail jurisdiction of tbe young man ana his affairs.

Is nothing the United States could do at this time in thik connection which would be of benefit. That a* break-up in centra! Europe might have an unfortunate effect on the settlement of debts owed to this government is realized, but that does not, in the view of the administration, give the United States the right to determine for any country what Its fora of government shall be. While it is a source of gratification to many Americans when they see republics springing np, and there is an absence of gratification at reactions resulting in dictatorships or other autocratic forfns of government, the United States cannot, while Inal sting upon Its right to establish and maintain its own fora of government, consistently interfere with the exercise of a similar right in other countries. Maybe this is the eaaleat way out certainly it would require a Philadelphia lawyer and a card Index to keep track of the political Chang— in Germany from day to day.

CUTS COST OF HOME LIGHTS — Electric Illumination Expense Is Reduced Owing to Invention of New Lamps. Recent reductions in the prices charged the public for incandescent lamps have disclosed that an electrically lighted home can now obtain a thousand candle hours of illumination for pretty close to 10 cents. It Is also brought out that In the thirty years from 1800 to 1920, the cost of lighting the average home r>y electricity dropped from 89 cents per thousand candle hours to 11 cents. This was due in large measure to a succession of inventions and discoveries, the outcome of patient laboratory research, each of which contributed to an increase in the efficiency of the incandescent lamp and thereby a reduction in the cost of illumination obtained. There has not been a year In the span .of three mentioned that costs did not drop noticeably, except since 1916. During the last seven years, the reduction has been but a fraction of a cent each year. Meanwhile the quality of light 5 furnished has increased almost beyond comparison, as those who recall the old-fash-ioned carbon filament lamps, in which bamboo was used at first, will appreciate. Three different styles of lamps were popular during this thirty-year period. The old style of sixteen candlepower carbon lamp was the most in favor from IS9O to 1905. In that year the Gem lamp was Introduced, and the 50watt type of that kind' of lamp was the most used. Then the Mazda tungsten lamps arrived. These were the result of Dr. W. D. Coolidge’s discovery in the research laboratory of the General Electric company, of a method of drawing tungsten into flexible wire, 6o that It could be used for lamp filaments in .vacuum bulbs. From 1908 to the present time the -10-watt Mazda lamp has been the most popular for ; general household lighting. Few persons could afford to illuminate their homes brilliantly today if electric lights had not been improved and their initial cost, as well as the cost of current consumed, made comparatively low. HOUSE KNOWN AS A TOWN Brick Building on the Crossroads in Hunterdon County, N. J., Is Called Perryville. On a crossroad in Hunterdon county, N. J., there stqnds a solid, lonely brick building which enjoys a unique distinction. It is a town, in fact, the town of Perryville, and has been listed on the map as such for more than a hundred years. # The building locally is also known as “Brick Tavern," having served throughout its earlier and more flourishing years as a meeting place for farmers of the neighborhood and a resting spot for travelers on the post road that runs before its doors. It was under construction in September, 1 SI3, when the first news of Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie flashed along the road and the building was christened “Perryville.” A jug of whisky was poured over the green bush surmounting the rooftree byway of proper observance. Because of the tavern’s site on the east to west turnpike over which a great deal of the state’s traffic passed at the time of its erection, the tavern of Perryville soon went on the map as a post where the stage coaches stopped, and continued to receive mail as a town for a considerable period after railroad service banished the horses and their clattering omnibuses. Even now the flavor of antiquity clings about it, although it has been appreciably modernized by Its present owners. Hoop-skirts and copper-toed shoes were found in the old building when it changed hands fifteen years ago. and it boasts huge open fireplaces and mantels and doors of colonial design. Ingenious Waste Paper Burner. An excellent waste paper burner Is hexagonal in shape anti built of ordinary bricks so placed as to permit a strong draft to blow through it It should be nearly four feet in height. Forty-eight bricks are laid at the foundation —eight bricks for every Bide. Fewer bricks are used in each successive layer, so that the burner Is wide at the base and rarrolv at the top. The contents of waste paper baskets when dumped into this receptacle are consumed quickly and without the unsightly litter of charred paper and flying smuts, which usually accompanies the incineration of paper out of doors. Back Yards Standardized. Even back yards —e standardized in Manhattan. Brown stone houses are as alike as so many peas, and so are the tiny yards in the rear. Those who put on swank call them “gardens.” Everyone is a rectangle. Film instructs Children. Three thousand school children of Gardner, Mass., have been impressed with the necessity of being more careful through the recent showing of the educational film, “Why Are We Careless?” Ignorance to Blame. Many a bad debt owes its birth more to Ignorance and indifference than to wilful intent to defraud. To oppose or neglect vaccination and cleanly habits ts to invite ill health and financial distress. Superstition. In Scotland, shoold a lassie drop her new shoes before they are worn she firmly believes that they will bring her trouble. To escape that, the shoes aro sometimes burned, and sometimes burled.
