C., Jan. 7.—Pros pects for Chief Justice Von Moschzis ker, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court; receiving the nomination for the United States Supreme Court to cmcceed Justice Pitney, retired, were dimmed somewhat today. News trick ling out of the White House through Administration Senators who have discussed the situation with the President »s to tlie effect that Judge Edward T. Sanford, of Tennessee, has practically been decided upon for ;hc appointment. This information comes through Senators backing other aspirants, and who have been informed within the past 24 hours that Sanford is the man. Unless the Executive exercises h ; s prerogative of changing In's mind, the Sanford nomination is expected to be <ent to the Senate within a few days. Judge 'Sanford is a Republican and was appointed to the District Judge ship in Tennessee by President Rouse velt during the latter’s first term. When he .received this appointment he- was serving as Assistant Attorney General at Washington, and when factional trouble among Tennessee Republicans prevented agreement on candidates a’ready in the field Rosevelt named Sanford as a com promise. * LIMBLESS BABY DIES. Infant Had no , Arms or Legs Al though Parents Were Normal. Baby Lebrasca, born several weeks ago in Chicago without arms or legs, has ceased to 'be a problem. The in fant died recently following a short illness of pneumonia, thus ending a controversy that has (raged * with more or less intensity since the day of her birth. Public attention to the case first was attracted by a published state ment that the father, James Lebras ca, hacl asked physicians to allow tin* deformed baby to die. The physician n charge of the case refused, say ing that the ba'by was mentally nor mal. The baby even might have become a mental celebrity, nature’s way of recompensing it for the missing arms and legs, the doctors «said. The father denied that he had asked that the baby be permitted to die - of inattention and declared that ■ho and his wife, Dorothy, wouhl give it the best of care. The mother was not told of the baby’s condition for several days. Numerous requests were made by persons eager to adopt the baby. Stcdman Advocates Shaft to “Mam lilies.” Washington, "Jan. 6.-—The govern ment of the United States was asked today to pay a belated tribute to the “faithful co'ored mammies of the south” by providing site tn the national capital for a monument their memory. 1 Representative Stedman, Democrat, North Carolina, the only Confederate veteran in the house, proposed in a bill that Congress grant permission to the Jefferson Davis chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, for erection as a figt to the people of the country of the monument on public grounds here. The old colored mammy, enshrined in the hearts of a multitude she led through the turbulent and trying period of childhood, has been praised in song and story, but there is no marb'e shaft testifying to her faith ful service generations ago.

They were .badly burned, about the face and body, but it is thought thnt they have a chance of recovey. But for tiie friendly aid ©f by standers in helping extinguish the flames they would have been hope lessly burned. A physician happened to \btK near, and the young men* were carried to the hospital at once. It was a new distilling apparatus they were operating, which requires air heated by ti gasoline torch to be pumped through it.Jit is thought that too. much air was pumped in, which caused the explosion.

A NEW YEAR’S AGREEMENT. . i “Lore Thy Neighbor as Thyself.” ' I|ello Folks! Happy New Tear.’’ i No hew greeting will ever take the ' place of this one and till it so com pletely as does this one. :« As age adds to wine, so does it add to this greeting. So happy New Year with all my heart, to everybody. llow many of you have already made your > New Year Oh, you hadn’t thought of that? Just made them un thoughtedl.v because it is customary. Very few of us think of entering the ; new year without resolving a few things, anyway, but very few of us | moan to carry out these resolutions. ! We find them too irksome and we for get. | Such is the mortal being, but listen. J Let’s do something this New Year’s J that we haven't been doing. Most of us think the bigger the list of resolu tions the better we are going to be. i Wrong. The new plan will hi like j this. Let’s think and make the resoku. | tion that we think will he the most I henificient to us and to our neighbor, j and that we know we will he able to carry, out. Now you will try this plan one year, won’t*you? and next New Year’s day we'll all compare our diary to the year previous and see if there 'is any improvement. Custom and i form-is running us today individually 1 and as a country. We are following ! some custom or going through som# | form every day that really means | nothing to us. We don’t stop to con l aider what we are* really doing it | lor. Now he honest, don’t you some ' times tind yourself praying, only in ! form and because it’s a good habit to ! lave? You have been taught to pray? j But your mind is far from serious and ! earnest faith? When we pray or go through the habit of praying God should have our whole mind and heart undivided. So I suggest that one of our first resolutions and one of the i most important we can make, to be j j sincere in all our undertakings to God and man. we are do ing or planning to do. we shall do with all our heart and not just merely go I l hrough form. Sham.'v misrepresenta t on and custom are leading us to be | careless and restless and when we j check up at the end of each year we fend something missing, the"auditor goes over the account but cannot find the shortage!""* all the customs have been followed; all the forms have beet met withy but something is radi cally wrong. The net results are not near what they should be. Let’s hunt for it ourselves. In this deed of char ity we gave not because we really wanted to but our friends and others were giving and we didn’t care be different from them. So check oft' this for results to your closing account at the end of the year. If you didn’t give with a free will and unselfishly, no good. You prayed every night and morning regularly, hut yoii couldn’t see that it did you any good. Well, were you really praying with earnest ly and faith or just because you had been taught to pray and that prayer was the bread of the soul? That you had never stopped to consider it yourself, but because if was said to be so by others, you wont_through it in form. A large percentage can be deducted for just, these two eonuuon habits. No let's resolve to think be fore we act and whatever we do let’s put the best we have into it and see if it doesn't raise the interest next year from 4 to 0 per cent. I am go ing to quote somebody—l don’t know who just now—hut if doesn't make much difference. He or she fcere wise in this philosophy at any rate: “You get out of a thing just what you put in it.’’ So let's follow the wise saying, and put our best in all we do this next twelve months, and expect more and better‘progress and we shall have if, I know. Herein re our resolutions in a group: First. We «reigning to think and be sincere in all we do before we do it. Second. We are going to put the best we June into all we undertake and expect, the best out of it. Third". That in all our dealings with ' others’ we are going to imagine our- j selves in their place, and deal with < them accordingly, as we would have < them deal with us. That we are go- ] ing to work for our employer just as t we would expect him to work for us. j And if we follow tb<‘ preceding res- j elutions we shall tie obeying (he com- t mandinent “love thy neighbor as thy- j self.’* Be<ause if we gtrr-do our fel- j lowingn. honestly what we wpuld give i to ourselves, what more could we do? j Listen folks, if we really do these res- § elutions this year, just think next year < and all the following years we’ll he 3 free from making, any resolutions be- 2 cause the old ones will bring such re- ( suits that we won’t need to make any a more. Won’t that he fine? C. " 2 RESIGNS FROM THE STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION > Governor Appoints A. M. Kistler to l Succeed J. C.
