His short, eventful moment of power and heavy care was ended; his eternity of rest begun. Yesteryear, the flooding tide of destiny bore him eastward to take up the challenge of leadership the millions of his countrymen had thrown to him. Today, that tide ebbed westward again under the set ting sun. The singing rails bore him back to the quiet town in Ohio whence he came. Grim voiced distant guns spoke the nation’s farewell as the funeral train drew out. A legion of armed men stood with rifles and sabers at salute. Great folk and small, in their thousands, stood silent and with heads bared in the fading light of the evening and the dead President was gone. But behind him, there is the halls of the senate where long he moved in his happiest hours in the capital or again there in the bleak, lonely rooms of the deserted White House where were passed the heavy days and nights of care that brought him to his untimely death, lingered brave memories such as he would be proud tonight to know filled men’s minds as they thought of him. There were memories of Harding, the President; memories that dealt with his devotion to duty, his loyal ty to those who worked with him, his patient, just us^ of his great power, his high courage in office, his utter love of country. But there were other memories of Harding, the man; Harding the kindly, thoughtful, joyous comrade, the friend of all who offered friendship worthily. Harding of the gerat heart and modest, simple ways no pride of place could change. . And these were the memories treasured closest last night in the sorrowing hearts in Washington. -o NEW SPEED RECORD SET AT 177 MILES AN HOUR _ * Philadelphia, Pa., August 9 — New seaplane record was made at the Philadelphia navy yard when Lieut Gorton flew over the Dele ware River course at an 'average speed of 177.6 miles an hour7 The previous record was 176.

RUSSIANS ENDEAVORING TO RESORE PETROGRAD Reval, August 9 t4>)—Soviet Rus sia’s efforts to restore Petrograd to its former importance as the1’ gate way to North Russia is having a det rimental effect on the ports of Hel singfors, Reval and Riga. The Mos cow government is diverting all pos sible business to Petrograd, and is ipaking improvements in the har bor to enable large ships to entttf with safety as they did in the days before Bolshevism worked ruin to the port which has lain idle for so long. The Moscow government holds no kindly felling for Latvia and Esto nia, and naturally does not cars to have the ports of Reval and Bigg continue to .be gateways to Russia as thfey ‘ were 4n the days of thocswa Ice troubles are far less in Reval and Riga than in Petrograd. Bolshe vists efforts to keep Petrograd open through extremely cold weather have not been very successful, and the Russian government was very unhap Commissioner at the meeting of the Board held on Mondey August 6th.

A recent census in Petrograd showed the city now has over half a mililon inhabitants. This was some thing of a surprise as it was at one time believed to have fallen to 300, 000.

HARRIS HASN’T YET WON FIGT AGAINST LASH Senator Charles U. Harris has not yet won his point with the county commissioners on the abolition of the last as a corrective means in the control of county convicts. Senator Harris yesterday after noon invoked the Wake law which is dependent on the state system. The Wake senator would follow the lead of the central prison on banishing the leather strap. Wake county grand jury recently recommended: more use of the whip at one white j camp in which the morale was very low.

Roger to be “so small as to be almost negligible.” Doctor Roger’s opinion is based on experiments conducted by himself to determine the action of Are on the tobacco consumed. He has Just pub lished an Recount of them, with the conclusions he has reached. Nicotine from ten grains of tobacco, extracted by steeping in water and al cohol, killed a 56-pound dog. The extract from a similar quantity of the same kind of tobacco, secured by com bustion, had no worse effect on a dog than to trouble his digestion. Doctor Roger says he found that combustion destroys the nicotine, or rather transforms it into cresols, phenols and other substances which, If they are rather Irritating, are never theless excellent antiseptics. The pipe or cigarette holder, he says, should be kept clean, but with that danger guarded against there is no other. “In these conditions,” he states in conclu sion, “tobacco may be even good for the health.” Troops Called to Hillsboro, Rioters in Zinc Plant Springfield, 111., August 9 OP)—As a result of a riot at the plant of the American Zinc Co., in Hillsboro, lr, which one man was reported shot the adjutant general’s department has been asked to keep watch over the situation.

Donaldson, of Haverstraw, N. Y. a congressional medal of honor man and until recently a sergeant in the 165th infantry. The commander-in-chief was War ren G. Harding. The reward was an unexpected op portunity to attend the burial ser vices at Marion as a guest of the new President. Donaldson isn’t a word painter. To day he could not tell newspapermen just what his feeling for President Harding had been. But he decided to come to Washington to pay tribute at today’s funeral ceremonies. It took some pinching to find the train fare but it was found and he match ed from the White House to the Cap itol behind the body of his dead commander. Donaldson didn’t think anybody knew about his presence— or cared. But there was one who did —his new commander-in-chief, Cal vin Coolidge. Comrades testify that never a shiver ran down the spine of Ser geant Donaldson when October 14 1918, under withering fire, he crept SAYS INDUSTRIAL WORKERS ENJOY GREAT PROSPERITY New York, August 9 t/P)—Ameri can wage-earners are now enjoying a period of prosperity, greater even than the so called “peak period” of 1920, according to a statement is sued by the National Industrial Con ference Board, which recently con cluded a research into wages and the cost of living. Asserting that 1920 “need no lon ger be considered the most recent highwater mark for workers in in dustry,” the investigators point out that many plants have announced increases of 10 to 15 percent. “It is true,” the report continues, “that wages were at their highest levels in 1920 but the cost of living was also high at that time.” Later the investigators find the cost of living declined more rapidly than earnings, and in 1922 wages again began to rise “first as a result of longer hours worked and later be cause of wage increases.” The report based on a study of conditions in plants employing 600 000 workers, estimates the compar ative excess of rising wages over ris ing living costs as between 17 and 18 percent greater in May 1923, than in June 1920 using July 1914—the last pre-war month—as a working basis. -o THE GAZETTE IN EVERY HOME from the sunken Sommerance-Lan dres-Et St Georges road and in broad daylight and in plain view of the en emy made six trips to the crest of a hill to rescue wounded buddies..
