i'resident-elrit Harding's di
position of tliis post indicate that
the defense of the island outpcl
will be perfected, that its affairs will
be more Americanized and that there
is little likelihood of the realization
of the l ilipiuocs' dream of early in
dependence. Appointment Fortunate.
The appointment is considered a
happy one, as General Wood's
qualifications as a colonial adminis
trator long have been recognized.
Under Mr. Harrison, it is reported to
Mr. Harding, the islands rapidly
hae been going "native" and Ameri
ca has lost much prestige. ,
For another' important Far East
ern post, that of ambassador to
Japan, Mr. J larding is expected to
appoint Amcrt t'lctclier, lormcr
minister to Mexico, a republican, and
one of the Roosevelt rouguNriders.
Mr. Fletcher has been on the

Mr, Harding in going over party
affairs, cabinet and policies today.
The financial condition of the na

aid. Mr. Harding was not worried
Rt all at the $1,200,000 deficit, ac
cording to Mr. Hays. This has been
portioned out among the states and
no attempt will be made, Mr. Hays
".aid, to dictate to the states ..as ' to
the limit of subscriptions, though he
thought procedent would operate to
hold it to $1,000. ,
He still is an advocate of de
centralized giving and pointed out
that while in 1916 there were 760
subscribers to the fund, in 19J0 there
were 57,000.
Mr. Harding saw Col. Arthur

Where It Started
Our Money Nomenclature.

j cate. Jnc,
The dollar, our unit, takes Its
name from the North-of-Europe
Thaler, which has about the same
value. The cent comes from the
JLatin "centum," meaning 100, or
the 100th part. The word "dime
1 also derived from the Latin
oecitnus, 10 or one-tenth part. The
quarter and half, of course, explain
themselves. The eagle, or $10 gold
piece, is so called because of the
agle that' adorned the first design.
The double eagle has tw ice its value.

er too much of his time watching
Billy's front door.
There was only one reason why
Billy Woodchuck didn't exactly care
to dig a new home for himself in the"
pasture just then. The fall crop of
.clover, was about to head out. And,
lieing very fond of clover blossoms,
Billy hated to spend his time dig
ging. He was telling his troubles one
day to old Mr. Crow. And, as us
ual, Mr. Crow had an idcTT.
"Why don't you geUsomebody to
help you?" he asked.
Billy Woodchuck looked a bit
doubtful.
"Who is there?" he inquired. "Xo
body would be willing to dig for me
unless -1 paid him," -
"Well, if I were you I'd offer a
modest wage," Mr. Crow suggested.
But Billy . Woodchuck shook hisy
head.
"I couldn't pay anybody anything i

unjess it was ciovcr-Lops, ne c.v- ;
I ..A J J 1 ..11 ..
niainea. na mv snouia any one

sands to be had tor the .taking..'
Mr. Crow agreed that Billy Wdod
rhuck knew what he was talking
tbout.
"But," said Mr. Crow, '"I've usu
ally, found that there's way out of
'-very difficulty. What you must do
is to find somcjiody that likes to dig
somebody that is so crazy to dig
that he'd help you just for the fun
of the, thing' '
Billy Woodchuck looked still more
doubtful. ,
"Who is there?" he asked once
more. ,
Meanwhile Mr. Crow had been
thinking rapidly--for he was a quick
witted old scamp.
"I'll tell youT he cried. "There's
Grandfather- Mo4e!"
Although Billy Woodchuck bright
ened considerably for Mr. Crow's
ideas made him more hopeful he
observed that he didn't know Grand
father Mole. "I've heard of him,
however." Billy told Mr. Crow. "He
lives in Farmer Green's garden. But
you know I never go thei;e. I stick
to the fields. I don't like to get too
far from home."
"For once, then," said old Mr.
Crow, "I should break my rule if I
were you and visit the garden. Find
Grandfather Mole and have a 'talk
with him!"
So Billy Woodchuck decided that
he would take Mr. Lrow s advice,
Too Much
We did not wince or cry aloud
I To quote the widely known Invictus)
When Mr. Bryan and his crowd
Of tipple-haters fought and licked us.
"We're beat," we said, "and that's enough,
There's nothing we can do abdut it,
Although we rather liked the stuff
We'll tryMo get along without it."
But these reformers go too far,
At least to our crude way of thinking,
Xot only would they ban the bar
And every form of public drinking,
But now amid the temperance tribe
A propaganda has arisen
To seize all persons who imbibe
And lock them up inside a prison.
It gives our nerves a horrid shock
To think that many of our neighbors
Would thus be sent to breaking rock
And doing other -penal labors.
One dear, dear, friend a kindly soul
(We've lectured, chided and harangued hiin)
Is so devoted to the bowl
They'd never cure him till they hanged him.
And that's not all, for now and then
We're often tempted toward backsliding,
Although, as we assert again,
We aim to be quite law abiding.
And if there's one thing in this life
Which" we regard with utter loathing
It's parting with our kids and wife "
And breaking rocks m striped clothing!
Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
i
By H. IRVING KING. I
VThe Measuring Worm.
If you are sitting on the piazza of
a farm house and see oncof those
little creatures known at the measuring-worm
looping its way over
your clothing brush it oft right
away. If you don't you are likely
to die before your time as any
country-bred person can tell you.
They will probably laugh at the
superstition as theyx recount it, but,
nevertheless, vtatch how quickly
they brush off a' measuring worm if
one gets on them. T
This old superstition arises from
that association of ideas with things,
so common with our prehistoric an
cestors and so natural to the human
mind in all ages not by any means
excepting this age.
The little larva of the geonietrid
moth has feet only at bow and
stern so when he moves he draws up
his hind feet, places them close to
his front feet and then sends his
front feet ahead for a fresh foothold;
apparently measuring off the person
upon whom he crawls in slow and
solemn manner.
Why is he making this peculiar
motion: so different from the method
of locomotion with other worms?
Uie submerged, primitive mina
arises from the "unconscious" and
answers -"He is measuring out th:
life of man;" "He is measuring you
tor a shroud." It is useless to argue
that he may be measuring you for
a new suit Of clothes; for the primi
tive mind's natural tendency is to
look on the dark side, of things and
regard the unusual as the threaten
ing. The writer has heard children
say with awe, "Brush off that mea-(
suring worm! if yon don't when he
takes his last measure you die."

i'aris, Feb. 16. The newspaper
Matin in its issue yesterday morning
states that in his official capacity
as a peace plenipotentiary Colonel
House promised "the French nego
tiators that the 'United ltates would
never attempt to collect a cent owed
by France,' "
"The matter was put up to Presi

promised to do his utmost to 'per
suade congress to cancel the debt.'
"Numerous other high commis
sioners, including Walter. Berry,
president of the American Chamber
of "Commerce in Paris, assured
French statesmen that the Ljiited
States had not the remotest inten
tion of demanding payment of either
principal or interest." 1

Chicago, Feb. 16. The body of
Mrs. Nancy Chamberlain, 91 years
old, whose mysterious disappearance
from the home of her daughter and
granddaughter in an artist's colony
has been under investigation by the
police, was found early today, buried
in the back yard of the studio on
Fifty-seventh street, where the
family lived.
Two days of questioning "brought
from Mrs. Ruth Townsend, the aged
woman's daughter, and Miss Marian
Townsend, her graddaughter, cryptic
answers, such as "mother is happy
in love."
Early today Miss Townsend con
fessed to a reporter for the Chicago
Herald and Examiner that the aged
woman died of natural causes last
June and had been buried by the two
women in the back yrd flower bed,

While the Matin docs not see any

in goods, "whiclj would ruin Ameri

afternoon to find Grandfather Mole
and ask him tf he wouldn't like to
help dig a winter home in the pas
ture. ' But before starting on his
iournev Billv Woodchuck waited tin-
til Mr. Crow came back and told him
that Grandfather Mole had just ap
neared above zround.
Billy Wooddiuck hurried off
across the" pasture as fast as he could
scamper. Ajid in a short time he
reached Farmer Green's garden. He
was somewhat out of breath, be
cause there had been plenty of good
things to eat all summer long and he
was round as a ball of butter.
Luckily he arrived just in time.
Grandfather Mole had been on the
point of creeping down into one of
his'many underground halls when he
heard a strange voice say, "Stop a
moment, please! I've something im
portant to say to you."
It was a pleasant voice. Tf it
hr.dn't been. Grandfather Mole
wouldn't have waited an instant. He
turned his head toward the . place
where the voice came from and said.
"What is it. stranger? And talk
fast. because I'm busy. I have some
digging, to do down below." '
