I had bet Eric he could not start the motor but he did and I lost five cents. We headed for the hole. On the way I saw an object and thought it was the body of William Hulten, who was drowned a week ago. I said to Eric, "That must be ME, NEITHER HE -HEEHAW HAH! NUH COULD SCRAPE HIS EVES OFF HOLES.

After it was struck it slowly slipped down under the water, apparently arching its body, though it had never been completely out of the water. It slipped alongside the boat for probably 15 seconds and we had ample time to see the monster. I did not strike it again because by that time I had realized what I had done. As the tail came slowly along I noticed that it tapered to a point and appeared to carry a fin. The body did not lash or writhe and the beast simply sounded, like a submarine or a whale.

We followed slowly on the surface in the direction the monster was headed into Great Head but nothing more was seen of it. The center of the body was about three feet in diameter, it was quite large and about 30 feet in length. I don't know why I hit it just a Freudian impulse, I suppose but I bashed it hard. Then when I saw it move I decided that discretion would have been the better part of valor but the snake, or monster, or whatever you want to cajl it, seemed perfectly bored with the situation and, remembering Harvard indifference, it simply pushed off. we cauea ner Winnie, aner my favorite aunt.

The ridiculous side of the whole thing flashed upon him and Coral Berry Being Placed on Slopes, Elm Trees Along Edge of Right-of-Way Planting of shrubs as part' of the program for beautifying highways No. 30 and 81 south or Columbus and the east entrance to' Pawnee park is progressing rapidly with a crew of FERA workers doing the job under direction of Resident Engineer Rowlee of the state highway department.

Twenty thousand little coral berry bushes, procured! from Buck is land, have been planted on the slopes of the highway grade approaching the north and south ends of the Loup bridge. This phase of the work is now progressing north of the Loup, planting along the slopes north of the Platte bridge is yet to be done. Engineer Rowlee estimated today that at least 30,000 or 35,000 more of the coral berry bushes will be set out before that phase of the program is completed. They are a low-growing bush on which red berries remain throughout the winter. As they are planted they are being cut back to about four inches in height.

The plan is to keep them trimmed down so the tops will spread out. An important feature of them is that they develop an extensive root system which, will be a big factor in helping to prevent erosion, of the slopes. The first truck of Moline elms, about 200 of ithem, was to arrive this afternoon from the Arling ton Nurseries', for planting along the edges of the highways. A second consignment of more than 200 will be sent for as soon as the first ones are planted. The trees will be from eight to 14 feet tall when planted, and are of a variety that makes rapid and uniform growth.

Mr. Rowlee said today that they will be set about 30 feet apart along both sides of the road, starting at the eighth street corner and working south. He anticipated about three days time would be required for this part of the job. Early next week the concrete foundations will be poured for the memorial arch-, and the pioneer monument which ate to be moved to the east entrance of the park. Mr.

Rowlee and County FERA Director Emiel Christensen will supervise the work of FERA crews in moving and setting the arch and monument and in building the native stone walls which are to flank the arch. The park board will supervise the planting of the trees and shrubs that will adorn the park entrance. Funds to pay for the trees being planted along the highways and for such of the highway shrubs as must "be bought, and also to aid in. financing the cost otjnaterials for the park are to be raised through the medium of the public concert and tag day being sponsored by the Inter-Civic council, with the cooperation of other local civic organizations. The park board's funds are so limited that the board cannot finance the entire cost off the beautification of the entrance to the park, and" neither the state nor city funds can be expended for the purchase of trees and shrubs for the highway hence the necessity for raising money enough to meet thee items through the plan sponsored by the InterXSvic council.

At the Columbus "Eskimo, a vivid picture of native love and passion in the far stretches of the Arctie regions, is being featured at the Columbus theatre today and Friday. Col. W. S. VanDyke, the "traveling director" who produced "Trader Horn" and other notable-pictures filmed in the far corners of the earth, took a company into the far north and spent eight months there making this saga of.

the Arctic, a drama of love, plunder and revenge enacted chiefly by a cast of native Eskimos and founded on the peculiar customs of their tribes. One of the many thrilling scenes of adventure depicted is a thrilling stampede of more than 4,000 caribou. At the Swan Twelve soldiers, colorful, rough and ready, saints and sinners, lost in the Mesopotamian wilds at the mercy of enemy Arabs during the world war provide the intense drama that characterizes "The Lost Patrol" the attraction at the Swan theatre today, Friday and Saturday.

S. Botanic Garden Supplies Free Flowers to Wives of Congressmen at Excessive Cost to Government Washington, Apr. 5 ((j)) The roses which the national botanic garden supplies congressional wives have painful thorns. I While the wives enjoy the free bouquets, the thorns prick the fin- gers of their husbands, charged to- day with using the federal garden i as a private hot-house tor their bridge party, wedding, and funeral flowers. Sen.

Joseph T. Robinson, Ark. whose wife buys her own flowers, has introduced a bill which would transfer supervision of the garden from congress to the agriculture department. The bill is dormant in the senate agriculture committee, where strong opposition is developing. Some opposing statesmen contend that too many of congress' prerogatives already have been taken from it.

Others have flower-loving wives. To grow flowers in its imposing array of greenhouses two blocks from the capitol, congress spends $114,000 a year. That is about too much, Washington's leading florists contended. Knowles A. Ryerson, chief of the agriculture department's bureau of plant industry, was inclined to agree.

"If the federal government is to keep its legislators supplied with flowers, it would be cheaper to purchase them from private florists," he said. One of the florists said that congress spends $50 to produce a dozen roses, which he sells regularly for $5, fancy box included. The florists who are chary about criticising prospective customers, have been having their troubles with congressmen these many years. The only thing that keeps the floral business from hanging a wreath upon itself and folding up, they said, is the fact that the botanic garden does not grow enough poseys to go around. "Frequently we learn that one of our customers is giving a party," explained one leading florist, "and then we.wait in vain for an order.

We check up and find that the botanic garden has sent around a load of palms and flowers. "Worst of all its costs congress $100,000 to grow the same flowers we grow for $10,000 and us florists, as taxpayers, have to help foot the bill." A second florist said that the botanic garden has been supplying floral pieces for debutante parties, congressional dinners and weddings as long as he could remember. "And now I understand that this green-house of congress is even doing funeral work," he added. The third florist interviewed was a bitter man. Repeated experiences with congressmen and their wives have made him so, he said.

Some congressmen, he commented, "are pretty cheap. So are their wives. They want the world for nothing." He scowled at the roses in his window as he related the saddest story of all. A congressional matron giving a party a few weeks ago, he said, phoned the botanic garden to send around a load of palms, ferns, and cut roses. The truckman left them at her door.

"And then she had the nerve," lamented the bitterest florist, "to ask me to arrange these palms and roses and things. She She but what's the use? I had to do it for her, because I'll probably get her business if the agriculture department takes over this pseudo-greenhouse of congress."

An unusual feature of the wedding was that the brides are aunt and niece respectively. Both couples were attended by Lidwina Borer and Joseph Kirzed-er. The brides were dressed identically, choosing dresses of lovely white satin, fashioned along the prevailing mode and achieving floor length. A trim of white silk lace enhanced the beauty of the gowns. Their veils which fell en train were of illusion lace and were worn cap style and were ornamented with tiny seed pearls and orange blos soms.

Bouquets of wlute carna tions and pink snapdragons completed their costumes. Miss Borer was gowned in a floor length floral print dress over which she wore a pink crepe jacket. Her accessories were of white. The bridegrooms and attendants had boutannieres of carnations. A reception immediately after the ceremony was held at the home of Joseph Borer, father and grandfather of the brides, where dinner and supper were served to nearly 150 relatives and friends.

Two, 3-tiered wedding cakes formed the centerpiece of the brides' tables. The house decorations carried out the pink and white motif. 1 Both couples were born an rear ed in this community and attended the St. Bernard school. MrsT is a daughter of Joseph Bcrer.

The administration will stop the movement for higher prices if it is sincere "in trying to bring the country back," Ford said.

President Roosevelt, he added, "has headed off a number of dangerous developments. I hope for the sake of the country he will head off this craze to boost prices." "The movement to boost prices is a deliberate attempt to slow up the return of business, for there are some things that cannot be put across in this country unless confusion and depression are to continue. "I do not say that the manufacturer who raises prices intends this, but the system that teaches him that increased prices are his only hope, does intend it. If busi- ness comes back, too many nice plans wut De spoiiea. Higher prices are intended to kill competition, he said.

Behind the movement, he added, are "financial interests." Lower prices will promote sales. Ford explained. Although wages and materials are higher than a year ago, "real costs" have not increased, he added. A year ago we were paying mvt oi' nnH erTtirc little i m- i This year we are getting production and selling automobiles. Why should we penalize the public for helping us to pay higher wages and sell more cars?" Regarding the $5 wage base at his plants, Ford said: "High wages are possible only when the management is directed to end.

The lazy manager prefers to cut wages and raise prices. When they put their business in shape higher wages without in creased prices is entirely practical 7 a day as with higher retail prices. Increasing prices is a lazy way to make dividends. If the executives will stay home and work there would be no reason for increases. IS SCORED BY WEIR Bill Steel Magnate Flays for Permanent Setup at Senate Hearing "INSULT" TO WORKERS Washington, Apr.

5 (LP) Ernest T. Weir, outspoken steel man whose Weirton Steel company has had constant altercations with the national labor board since establishment of the NRA, today denounced before a senate committee a bill which would make the board permanent. Speaking before the education and labor committee as a witness on- the Wagner bill, Weir called it vicious, unAmerican, and unfair to labor and capital alike. Particularly did he condemn provisions of the bill which would prohibit company unions. He charged that the measure would force workers to become members of the American Federation of Labor.

The board now has pending a suit designed to force Weir's company to drop its company-organized union and to allow the American Federation to organize its employes. Weir said that 80 per cent of his employes have no interest in labor unions and are satisfied with the company organization as it is. He charged: "The average employe joins a union only because he is told by union organizers that he will not have a job if the union wins. Many of them sign cards because of coercion and intimidation, and yet this present bill lays no restraint upon coercion or intimidation by labor unions." He said -that the bill was an "insult" to workers, and that as far as the National Steel company, of which he is chairman, is concerned its employes have been promised in writing that they never will have to join any organization to hold their jobs. He accused William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, with making untrue statements about "starving families in Weirton" (steel mill town in West Virginia) and said that no LABOR BOARD I but I said to Eric, "There is no Scotch mist here."

CABINET CLOSEUPS CORDELL HULL Secretary of State By WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff Correspondent Washington, Apr. 5 Newest full-fledged cabinet member, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, was appointed to succeed William Woodin, whose assistant Morgenthau had been.

Son of the war-time ambassador to Turkey, Morgenthau is a personal friend of the president, and his neighbor on a New York farm. He is a former student of Profes sor (gold policy) Warren, and faces the complicated problems of the treasury post in a time of unprecedented debt problems with little former experience in public or large-scale private finance. But he is quick, eager to carry out the presidential policies, and able. In general he is charged with the nation's finances. He superintends collection of all revenue, taxes and duties, and paying out of funds as congress orders.

He is chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and a director of the R. F. C. But there are many diverse jobs for him aside from finance. He is responsible for construction and maintenance of all public buildings.

He has charge of operation of the Coast Guard, the Secret Sprvice. Industrial Alcohol and Narcotic divisions. For some strange reason, he has under him the Public Health Service, and must be chairman of the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway commission. The latter perhaps does not take much time, but he must serve also as director-general of railroads, which does take time. Add the fact that he must meet with the other trustees of the Postal Savings System and the Smithsonian Institution, as well as supervise the mints and Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and oversee all customs houses, and you can see that Morgenthau puts in a good day's work.
