Three Stories, Choose. Her Husband's W orries. In Earth's Old Garden. 48 American Nations. _ . By ARTHUR BRISBANE V-/ Three news dispatches about Lenine, the brains of Russia. Take your choice: “The Russian government says Lenine is getting better.” ‘‘Two German specialists on the way home say Lenine has incurable paralysis, may die at any time, cannot live long anyhow.” “The Spanish ambassador in Paris says his government has re liable information that Lenine has been dead for two months, the death kept secret for state rea sons.” There is a possibility of truth in all, even the last of those state ments. Trotzky, who shares power with Lenine, has kept close watch over I.enine’s bedroom, allowing only his wife and the doctors to enter. He may be preparing Rus sia and the world gradually for news that Lenine is dead and Trot zky. sole ruler of “all the Rus sias.” Mrs. Dever, whose husband has just been elected mayor of Chicago, says she will do his worrying. Ten million wives in America are doing the same, carrying their husbands’ worries. And 0,900,000 of the husbands fail to appreciate it. The average husband -tomes home, hangs his overcoat on a nail, bangs his worries on his wife and thinks all is for the best, in the best of worlds possible. A ring older than King Tut is found in the Temple of Sin in the ancient city of Ur. When Meso potamia was the world’s wonderful garden, before the Tigris, the Euphrates and man’s mismanage ment had washed away the fertile soil on which human civilization was born, King Enanatum reigned in Lagash 6,500 years ago. Now they find his statue in the Temple of Sin, devoted to worship of the moon god. In that old temple astronomy was studied when our European ancestors were savages, drinking each other’s blood from flat cups sawed from the tops of each other’s skulls. Later you will read translated cuneiform writings of Ur, which men can translate be cause, luckily, the same message was written in three writings, in cluding cuneiform, on the famous Rosetta stone. Every city is interested in its own bigness first, then in the big ness of others. All are interested in New York city, which happens to be the biggest. Th? census bureau estimates New York’s population, as of July 1, at 5,927, 625. New York state’s population is 10,843,661, a fair-sized nation among 48 nations that make up this country. All those 48 nations have free trade among themselves; they don’t go to war with each other; they are determined to protect this continent from European or Asiatic aggression. The United States is a “league of nations’’— that ought to satisfy us. If Europe had a similar league there would be leps trouble. Since the French entered the Ruhr, French cost of living has gone up 15 per cent—and the Germans are not paying it. France is getting from Germany 90 per cent less in coal and money than before the Ruhr seizure. That argument against territor ial invasion all will understand. When Eddie Riggs, now of the New Haven road, was writing on Wall street for Charles A. Dana, he occasionally found relaxation in a press club poker game. And every time he “raised it” he would say, “The only way to stop gam bling is to make it expensive.” That’s a good way to discourage war also. The tuberculosis germ is now attacked in systematic co-opera tion by chemists, bacteriologists, biologists, doctors and pharmacolo gists. , ] The scientific gentlemen will make the tubercular bacillus mis erable and eventually destroy it. Chemists have experimented with seven pounds of tuberculosis germs, heaven knows how many billion individuals in that mass, and they find that the miserable germ is 40 per cent fat. They hope to find a substance that will combine with the germ’s “compo nents” ami destroy it without de stroying its host, the human body. It is said President Harding will become a gentleman farmer , and writer on leaving the White House. He has bought his father’s farm in Ohio. Whoever was raised on an American farm knows what that means. On the old farm, the sky, the fences,, the chickens, the hick ory and chestnut treeH, the ditch and the turtles in it, are different from all others, and there “the air smells wooingly.” President Hard ing may he a gentleman farmer, the kind that can’t make farming pay. Rut he won't be a gentle man writer. He knows how to make writing pay. Railroads face the heaviest traffic this year ever handled in America. They ask shippers to economize space and to empty cars quickly to keep them moving. Citizens arc urged to get coal in early and save congestion. All reasonable request*. I he rail roads, lacking in equipment and hampered in financing because of mismanagement or dishonesty, having hurt public confidence, should, nevertheless, have full co operation.

Weeks Objects to | “Adjustment” of Big Army Scandal Secretary of War Demands Full Investigation of Conger Randle Squabble, at Fort Sam Houston. By (Tnlvenal Service. Ran Antonio, Tex., April 8.—Trans I fer for Captain Randle and a generous whitewashing for Colonel Conger is | the way army circles here sum up the ! new developments in the Conger ! Randle army scandal at Fort Ram ! Houston. The case has attracted so much attention that vigorous ob jections have been voiced here and in Washington to the undesirable pub licity the affair has provoked. After three days of maneuvering, marked by utmost secrecy, the case had been “adjusted" to the apparent satisfaction of all concerned. Then Secretary of War Weeks threw a monkey wrench into the machinery of settlement. Col. A. L. Conger and Capt. E. H. Randle were satisfied and Mrs. Randle carried out her part of the arrangement by telegraphing the sec retary of war asking for dimissal of her request for an investigation. Insists on Investigation. The reply of the cabinet officer, In which he insists that the investiga tion must go on, has caused conster nation at Fort Sam Houston. The sec retary struck a discordant note in the harmony band, and the well-greased wagon of concord is in a rut. The first condition of settlement was the immediate withdrawal by Captain and Mrs. Randle of the 1100.000 defamation of character suit. This was carried out according to schedule. Three conditions were then im posed upon the military participants in the controversy. First, the military investigation was to be immediately abandoned and Captain Randle was to apologize to Colonel Conger, in view of the latter's denial of allegations that he spoke dis paragingly of Mrs. Randle. Transfer Tlanned. Second, Captain Randle was to be transferred to some other army post, of his' own selection, retaining his rank and position in the army. Third. Colonel Conger was to re move the demerits placed by him against the army record of Randle. Captain Randle was asked today if the foregoing conditions of settlement were correct and if he had agreed to them. After a little hesitation he re plied: “I have given my word that I will not discuss the case, and I have noth ing to say." Mrs. Randle made a similar re sponse. and Colonel Conger's office J dismissed the matter with: "Colonel Conger is not here.” Foster Given Ovation at Chicago Meeting Chicago. April 8.—William 7.
