The loan value increases with the years.

The truth is there is an evident desire here to conceal the truth.

I do not see how any senator can read his testimony and feel that a man who has his idea about truth and corruption, can be seated." McKellar accused Smith of "fraud and corruption" in the Illi- nois primary. Take Fight to Him Smith's delay in announcing his intentions and his present tactics caused his opposition to decide on carrying the fight to him instead of waiting for him to present his credentials here. As the debate threatens to other bustness, leaders have urgent messages to the Illinois man, urging him either to reject the appointment or to come to Washington at once and "face the music. Leaders of the opposition, meanwhile, predicted they would command sufficient votes to bar Smith at the door by refusing bim the right to take his oath of office. The hope of Smith's friends in the senate was to secure a majority favoring the administering of his oath of office and then prevail upon the senate to decide that a two-thirds vote was necessary 10 expel him.

Secretary, High-Sounding Names Given to Foundling So long as there are foundlings doubtless there will be the problem: what to name them.

An infant was found abandoned in a motor car, and, striving to find a name. that should contain a reference to the history of the case, one member of the board suggested that the baby be called Alice Motor. Another member urged that they choose a "decent name," and then still another objected that as yet they didnit know whether the foundling was a girl or a boy. The chairman of the board thought it was a girl, but the deputy clerk, "having made made the emphatic announcement that the child was a boy. This detail established, the quest for a name was resumed.

"In what part of the High street the discovered?" asked a board member, reminding the assembled company that "we had a child discovered in Lewisham park some years ago and called it Park." The clerk said the child had been found near the King's hall. "Call It- George King," some one ventured. And since the discovery had been made close to Granville park, another thought the boy should be named George Granville. Compromise ended in the bestowal of a very grand name indeed: George Granville King. And as such it duly christened by the chaplain.
