Tariff Bill Coining In August It is semi-officlally announced that the senate tariff makers will have their bill ready Aug. 20. It is to be known as the Hawley-Smoot tAriff bill but rad ical changes. It is said, have taken place in the bill sent from the house to the upper branch of the legis lative department of government. Many of the leading newspapers of America, re gardless of geographical bearings, have denounced the house bill as the brazen work of certain manufactur ing and other powerful Interests. They say that It is unfair to the* farmers of the country and unjust to the consumers both in city and country. There is a powerful senate combination. Including progressive republicans nad democrats who may make life burdensome for the makers of this Iniquitous piece of legislation unless radical changes are made In the schedules by the manipulators. No Tears Called For Gilbert Swan writes from San Francisco that the famous old Barbary Coast has lost all of its glory, being now a quiet commercial arteet of garages, ware houses and lunchrooms; and, quite illogically. most of us. no doubt, feel a sort of regret at the news. In Its heydey the Barbary Coast was known with good reason, as the wickedest spot on earth. Sailor men were robbed, beaten, shanghaied and murdered in its dens. Every form of vice and crime existed there, unchecked. To its contemporaries the place seemed like a genuine hellhole. And yet, so smoothly does time gild bygone things with the color of romance, our first reaction to Swan’s news is to feel sorry! We may as well save our grief. The Barbary Coast was horrible, not romantic. The world Is better off without it. A Profitable Investment If you have been wondering whether the great Boulder Dam project could never really pay Its own construction and operating costs through the sale of electricity it will generate, consider this bit of news from Washington. Ahtough the dam !i not yet past the blue print stage, various power companies have already applied for about twice as much power as the dam will ever be able to generate. No one knows, just now. whether the government is going to produce and market all of this power on its own hook, or whether It will lease production rights to private concerns. But it is evident that whichever course it adopts, it at least is assured of a good return on its investment.

Many parents bemoan the fact that their children don’t realize the value of money. How can they, when they can get it for the asking? They never have the chance to learn. Instead of making mere gifts of money to your child, suppose you try putting him—or her—on a regular weekly “vrage” in return for little tasks per formed around the house. Pennies or nickels paid for these little trifles, instead of being handed out in discriminately. will instill the spirit of industry and thrift at the formative age. When your boy grows up and faces the world, he will have an appreciation of the value of money. And when your daughter grows up and starts housekeeping she will have an infinitely better idea of how to spend her money economically. And. at the same time, you’ll be developing their self-respect. Making love doesn’t take as long as it once did, but then it doeen’t stay made as long, cither.—Kay Fea tures. , Waskiiraftons By HERBERT C. PLUMMER WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.—No other president of the United States ever surrounded himself with such telephone facilities as has Herbert Hoover. When he is at the executive offices of the White House he has only to lift the receiver in his own pri vate office to establish communication with any one of 61 telephones on his private branch. When he is week-ending at his fishing camp two direct trunk lines from the White Hoqpe, each ap proximately 120 miles long, keep him in touch with Washington. Fifteen trunk lines connect him with the govern ment departments and the Washington central of fices. His private switchboard is manned 24 hours of the day. And almost at a minute's notice his service can be increased to 19 more telephones on his private branch and to 30 additional outgoing trunk lines. A glance at the history of telephone service at the White House reveals no such elaborate system as now prevails nor any president who ever relied on the telephone in the conduct of national affairs to such an extent. • • • • FIRST ONE IN 1879 President Hayes, during whose administration the first telephone was installed at the White House In 1897, rarely ever used this system of communication. Nor did Cleveland. At that time there were but few government departments and bureaus ard they were fairly closely located. Messenger service between these departments and the White House seemed to answer every purpose. During Cleveland's first term there were two telephones serving the White House executive of fices, but they were seldom used. But by the time he returned for his second term every government office was connected with the main telephone ex change. There were frequent calls over the several telephones then in use by the executive's secretary and clerks. Harding was the first president to employ the telephone extensively in transacting his dally routine business. Wilson seldom used the service and the White House operators had instructions never to call him on the telephone. • • • • MrKINLEY GREATEST USER The practice of using the telephone in handling important government matters really began in Mc Kinley's administration. The first private branch exchange was installed then connecting all of the government departments, including the White House. But Roosevelt did not continue the precedent set by McKinley. Rarely did he use the telephone ex cept in an emergency. President Taft, however, found the service a great convenience and used both the local and long distance telephone extensively. Coolidge was a liberal user. In fact. It was over the telephone that arrangements w’ere made for him to take the oath of office as chief executive before his father in Vermont. The phone, in this instance, was installed at his father's home two hours after Harding's death.. All during his administration he used this system of communication extensively. But Hoover has outstripped them all. He has been in the White House only a few weeks before the old system was discarded and the present elaborate fa cilities were installed. i TROOP A LEAVES ON OVERNIGHT MARCH Jefferson street clattered to the henfs of 50 horses before sunrise Friday as troop A left the post for Landrum's ranch up the river road This is the regular monthly over night march for Captain Ernest's troop.

BELL Years before the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of its people, God gave Jeremiah a vision of his dealings wtih Israel by di recting him to the potter’s house wehe Jeremiah saw a vessel of fresh clay “marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the pot ter to make it.” Then came God's voice of his prophet. “O. house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord, Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Is rael’* Remaking the Potter's Vessel The vessel had been marred by the persistent idolotry of God's peo ple, and the Babylonian captivity was the divine Potter's process of kneading the marred clay and pre paring it so that he might “make it again another vessel.’’ The time had come for the process of remarking. The 70 years of captivity had ac complished their purpose of driving out idolotry and retsoring a t 2 appreciation of Jehovah and his goodness to them in blessing them and their native land. Homeward Bound This purpose accomplished. God instilled in the hearts of a faith ful remnant of the exiles a sacred home sickness for the land of their fathers, and for the sen ices of the temple of which their fathers hat' 1 told them. At the same time “Je hovah stirred up the spirt of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made r proclamation throughout ail his kingdom, and put It also in writing j . . . . whosoever there is among you of all his people his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusa lem. which is Judah and build the , house of Jehovah, the God of Israel I fhe is God) which is in Jerusalem.” j Cyrus furthermore encouraged the ■ | Jews who did not care to return and ' even the Babylonians to give freely j cf their substance to equip the ex I pedition. He tlso restored the j thousands of sacred vessels which Nebuchednezzar had plundered from the temple when he destroyed it. Thus sanctioned and equipped, the exiles, perhaps 50,000 in num ber. of whom nearly one-tenth were priests, set out upon the most sig nificant migration in the world's history to rebuild the city and tem ple of God—to remake the marred ( vessel of the divine Potter. Prophesy. Performance, Praise All this was in fulfillment of numerous and clear prophesies giv en through Isaiah. Jeremiah and Ezekiel but unheeded by those who to whom the prophets had spoken. God's sure word of prophesy was now fulfilled literally and fully and this marvelous divine performance called forth sengs of praise from his appreciative people a3 they sang. “When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.'' It seemed too pood to be tn e. They feared It would turn cut to be only p dream. They had sown tears of repentance during their captivity, and now they vere reaping the har vest of joy. They had learn ed their lesson; they never again returned t> idols. Thus they justified God's gospel of a second chance; the divine potter's plan to “make it again another vessel " (The International Uniform Les son for August 18th is Jeremiah 29:10-14; F..vra 1:1-11; Psalm 1:26:1 6: the subject being “The Return From Captiity.' and th" Golden j Text.
