SENATE PRESSED TO UPHOLD VETO WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Direct pressure was again exerted from the White House today to have the senate uphold Coolidge's veto of the postal pay bill which adds $68,000,000 annually to the cost of government by increasing the pay of postoffice employees. President Coolidge had a conference at the White House late last night with Senators Borah, Sterling and Curtis, and this was followed this morning by six republican senators, Spencer, Gooding, Cummins, Stanfield, McCormick and McKinley being summoned to the White House for further conferences. The president emphasized to them his desire that the senate uphold his veto of the bill—at least until administration leaders can bring out the new rate bill which will saddle most of the cost on American newspapers and periodicals by raising second class rates. A group of democratic senators, however, in their opposition to linking the two measures, have erected a parliamentary barrier against further action on the rate bill until after a vote has been taken on the veto. This probably will not come until next week, because of the senates agreement limiting legislation until the Muscle Shoals debate is ended. One college man was telling the other of his new girl. "She's wonderful, Jack," he said. "In the first place she is the most beautiful thing I ever saw, and on the other hand—" "On the other hand," finished Jack, who knew her, "she has an engagement ring."

Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, will be the official olive branch toter. He will hold a conference with Judge Landis before the joint meeting of the National and American leagues and expects to iron out the differences existing between the commissioner and Ban Johnson, head of the American League. He will be assisted by E. S. Barnard, of Cleveland and Tom Slibbe, of Philadelphia. Neither Landis nor Johnson had given out anything for publication before the joint session got under way. Rumors were current that both the judge and Johnson would resign, but they were simply rumors. John McGraw, of the Giants, and C. A.

Magnates and managers spent the early hours before the meeting in discussing trades. So far none materialized."

He gave orders for elaborate burial. Just as he was leaving he took a last look and observed that the lower jaw had fallen, exposing a set of false teeth. "That's not my father," said he, and immediately left. The undertaker yanked the body out of a handsome coffin slapped it down on the slab, and said: "You d—— fool! If you had kept your mouth shut you'd got a first class funeral." Many beginners in golf—and many who are not beginners—are grievously afflicted with the malady of topping off the ball. A player whose efforts to cure himself of this affliction only resulted in the reverse of the Coue formula addressed a professional with gloom in his ear and despair in his eye. "I'm hitting the ball every time right on the top. I want you to tell me a cure for it!" "Oh," replied the professional, "just turn the ball upside down."
