Nothing unusual oc curlred to mar the goities and pleasures endulged in; "big (ilners," informal gatherings, as well as the more foiinal ones, and the usual going aind coming made up the season festivities .and in tle words of the poet-now that you have had "A merry Christmas, with a wealth of joy and cheer, I pray that God m-ay send you, each and every one, a happy, glad Now Year." Tle year before us .should be a hip py one, prosperous and progressive, despite the extreme Ilnancia depres sion now existing, for a readjustment will -have to come. The high cost of living has aipparoitly crosrd "the peak" and is coming down Not per haps as rapidly as we may wish, but surely there is some evidence that we are on the 'way to improved conditions. What we need to do, not less 'than in the darkest days of 'the war, is to have confidence and show IL "Another tbwolve months for a new endeavor."

Weeks, of Massachusetts. still ar~e mnentloned as possibilities. Mr. Weeks, hoewever, is b. moire generally regardedh as a lIkely secretary ofathe navy. Others who keelp to the fi'ont in cab 13n(t specullat ion are .Hlarry M. D augh etty, of Ohio, most frequtently mn tioned for attorney geneiral; Will II. flays, of Indliana, dliscuissed for post mastei' general or secretary of the in terior'; Henry Wallace, of Iowa, <pult forward for secretary of agriculture, anmd Ilierbert Hoover. of California, 3whose name frequently has been cou Pled with the -Portfolio of labor, but who has been regarded in the light of recent developments as a more like ly choice for secretary of commerce. Regarding the secretaryship of war speculation lias taken it less definite trend. Dluring the last few days, A. T. Hert, of Kentucky, has been men tioned conspicuously for the place, but everything has indicated that Mr. Ilarding I" far from a decision on the point. :Liko 'Mr. WCks, however, Nir.

Tho president-'lect is said to be on tirely undecided in regard to secretary ship of the interior -and commerce which may be filled at .the last moment by men prominently considered " for other cabinet positions but disiplayed in the final allotment of the portfolios of higher rank. There has 'been some' talk of George Sutherland, of Utah, for secretary of interior but some of his close friends say he is more likely to receive a place on the supreme bench. It is understood that no positive ac tion has been taken in regard to the appointment of a secretary to the pres dent, but the general bellpf is that the position ywill go to George 13. Chris 'tian who has been Mr. Harding's secre tary since he entered the senate. Vari ous others have been mentioned but all the indleations here ILave pointed to Mr. ('istian's retention. The president-elect spent most of New Year's day at his desk, but during the afternoon lie took a long walk and called on soine of his Intimate friends. Alex P. Moore, of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Moore, who foilnerly was Lillmtn Russell, were 'guests at noonday din ner at the Harding home, and in the evening 'Mr. -larding went to another New Year's feast at the home of George 'B. Christian. PLANS TO H ARNESS TIDES FOR POWER British Ministry Makes Public Project for Plant Uigger than Nlagnra. London, Dec. 31.-The British 'Min istry of Transport has just niade Pub lie a scheme to harness the tidal wa ters of the river Severn at a cost of :0,000,000 ) ipolnds and to erect a pow er plant greater than that of Niagara Falls. The Severn divides England from Wales. The project is an outcome of the ef forts of Sir Alexander Gbb, chief en gineer of ports construction in the British army (iIIng the war and builder of the great naval dockyarfd lit losythi. It is calculatled that the MEN'S I All men's heav~y wint Tweeds have been pt se HA Former Price8 $2 $12.50, Men's Blue Whar LAURE i)ower plant could produce 1,000,000 horse-i)Qwer at its peak load capacity and that it would save 3,000,000 to 4, 000,000 tons of coal a year. It is claimed thdt it would revolutionize the whole industry of the west of England and even supply 11ondon iwith cheap electric current. A concrete dam wouild be placed across the river creating a locked basin 27 square .miles in extent into which vessels could pass through a channel. It is estimated that the 'un (lertaking would iprovide work for' 250,000 mon for seven years. In the spring tides the Severn rises 38 fot, the second highest tide after the Bay of Fuindy. The fact that tidal waters h'ive never yet been used for the generation of electricity on such a vast scale, coupled with the big estimated cost of the scheme, make engineering experts cautious in expressing views as to its feasibility. The Times editorially refers to the project as "somewhat flamboyant.' The consent of parliament must be ob tained before the scheme can be put into operation. New Jersey Man, In War :lead List, Walks In Onl HIs Family Now York, Dec. 28.-'ILloyd Albert Bogart, a son of Warren H1. Bogart, of 43 .ienry street, Passaic, returned to his home yesterday after allowing his family to believe for two years and nine months that he had died during the war. During this time the service flag of the Passaic high school had a )old s.tar in honor of Hogart, who was In the senior class whn a he left to join the army, and his name was engraved also on the tablet which the city of Passaic erected in honor of its sons who died in the war. Bogart said when he got home that soon after he enlisted in the army on April 20, 1917, he deserted because he did not like his companions of the 111th infantry then stationed at a training camp in Alabama. .He wan dered about the country for sone time and then enlisted' in tb ?%arine Corps at Akron, Ohio. le was sent to the marine training cantip in Virginia, and then with other marines to the battle ship Pennsylvania where he served throughout the war and until lie was discharged last week at Fort Jay. Bogart's father did not hear from the boy after be enlisted and asked the Red Cross to make an investigation. The Red Cross reported that .ogart was missing, and :hat Ie probably was dead.

The deparbtment has decided to reduce this strength to 256 officers and 7,500 enlisted men. This reduction has already begun and will be made gradually. The ultimate withdrawal of the entire force is a matter for fu ture consideration. The armistice provides that the cost (f maintenance of the occupying troops shall be born by the German goverlneit.
