Show 00T AFTER WORN SHE COOKED WITH TWO BILLS fl MEAL WILL ASSIST PRESIDENT HARDING BY PASSAGE OF BILLS FOR INVESTIGATION Senator Borah Haa Measure Ready For Labor Committee Covering Fact Finding In Nations Coal Industry Washington. Steps were being taken in congress Monday to push through two of the measures recom. mended by President Harding for meeting the strike situation. The house was prepared to pass this week a bill setting up a federal commission to investigate every phase of the coal mining industry in the hope that such an inquiry will lay the basis for permanent peace in this uch a bill was strike beset industry. to be introduced Monday by Chairman Winslow of the interstate commerce committee. Although the senate is taking a rest from the long tariff grind, the foreign relations committee met on the presidents proposal for legislation giving federal courts power to protect the treaty rights of aliens so that the federal government could intervene and punish v svvm or IIOMAS ATEDlSON'ls getting to a regular sphinx the Greek not the Egyptian. Nobody, appears, has yet discovered purpose of the Egyptian But the sphinx of sphinx. Thebes, In Beotia, according to the legend, was wont to propose and to a riddle to all passers-bto failed if them they destroy like give the answer, Still, Mr. Edison isnt just this Greek sphinx. To be sure, hes been asking 'puzzling questions of all who read, but instead of andestroying anybody he gives jobs to those who swer provided they are college graduates. And Mr. Edison and the sphinx are different in another way ; the sphinx asked tills easy question : What creature walks in the morning upon four feet, at noon upon two and at evening on three? , That's easy compared with some of Mr. Edison's questions in his second questionnaire. Here are two questions, for example: You have only $10 in the world, and are playing poker with a man you have never seen before. On the first deal he holds a pat hand. You have three eights after the draw. There is 50 cents in the pot. He bets a quarter. What are you going to do, and why? What is spiegeleisen? Now, its easy to give an exact answer to the second, because the substance mentioned is white cast-iro- n But whats the containing manganese. answer to the first question? Is there any answer that can be upheld as better than any other answer? Probably four poker players would give as Tbe y many answers. The New York Tribune answers the poker question and says the reply is probably as good as any to be found anywhere. It is one of the few questions to which expert knowledge was applied. ,The answer represents the refined Judgment of the foremost poker players of the Tribune's staff. Heres the answer: If we had only $10 in the world, Mr. Edison would never catch us in a poker game, even with our own blood relatives. Assuming that the question is not to be answered this way, it seems obvious that no poker player in such a position should pay a quarter to call a pat hand with only 50 cents in the pot. We would remark casually I believe you, brother,' and wait to see what the next deal would bring forth. ; Well, the question now Is how much do the foremost poker players of the Tribunes staff know about poker? The Tribune, however, appears to be more successful in answering questions that can be answered. A good many Inquisitive persons, Including a considerable part of its staff, devoted hours of valuable time to answering the 150 questions in the second questionnaire, though it is specifically stated that no guarantee goes with the answers. Here are some of the other questions, together w'li the Tribunes informative and otherwise interesting answers: Q.

Senator Itorah, chairman of the senate labor committee, said Monday he would try to get the labor committee providing for a fact finding agency in the coal industry. Borah's bill has been indorsed by the White House as being, in general, what the president desires in the way of legislation to secure reliable facts regarding how much money the coal operators are making, whether wages are right and whether prices are reasonable. Because the senate is pledged to take up the bonus, actual steps toward working out the legislative program asked by President Harding will be left to the house this week. But all the house intends to do, under present plans of the Republican leaders, la to pass the coal investigating bill. There is the same strong sentiment in t(ie house as exists in the senate against making an attempt to enact legislation providing for a federal agency, financed by the treasury, to buy up coal and distribute It fairly in Interstate commerce.
