Dials, Jan. 3.-The holidays passed
off quietly here. 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."

Niarlon, Ohio, .Ian. I.- Although
President-elect Unrding has about31
made up his mind onm severa':l of the
most i'3r ortanut 1appo1 il(nen' to hi s
cain~iet, It was inien('tedl toda1y that lie
had not -re-committed himself to a de
fi nite de (cis5111ion! regard 't to anyi of thle
ten places; in his oflieital fail Iy. Duir
lng the past few (days he has reviewed
thle entire field of availables In confer
ence shifting about of tentatively ar'
ranged cahinet ((eats, no0 developlments
o'f a positive char'acter has been re
veal ed.
In cli'eles close to thle pr'esident
elect Charles -Evans Hughes, of New
York, continues the most talked of
man for seci'etary of state and 0.
D lawes, of Illinois, still is a favorite
foi' seciretarly of the treasur'y, although
for the lat teir post Charles I). H illes,
of Newv York and JIohn WV. 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.
Ilert Is considered by many as certain
to have ',(>fmle pitoII the n4t.
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

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.

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

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

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. Bogart a.I al;o that hils regi
