Twelve chamber tombs of various periods have been Berlin. Field Marshal Paul von Hinpenburg, president-elect of Ger many, speeding through a straight away five-mile lane flanked by dense rows of surging, jubilant humanity, late Monday reached the chancellor's palace, where, he was a guest of a single night, pending his formal in duction into office at noon Tuesday. An uneventful train ride of four hours carried the presidential party to the edge of Berlin shortly before G o'clock this evening and in less than 10 minutes Germany's new soldier president, who craves seclusion and balks at the adulation of the friend ly mob, found himself engulfed in a vortex of frenzied men, women and children. Even the enthusiasm of mobiliza tion days in August, 1914, did not ap proximate in volume the popular ac claim which today poured into the path of the nation's new executive, and although the proverbial Hohen- zollern weather was denied him, nu merous manifestations of pre-war sentiments and yearnings greeted him all along tho route. The old colors were there in "pro fusion and the air was redolent of mothballs, for thousands of family chests and wardrobes had yielded up an assortment of gaily bespangled uniforms and other gala appart which went into seclusion with tin revolution of 1918. Through it all Field Marshal von Hindenburg sat rigidly beside Chan cellor Luther, his face immobile and marked by pallor, while his right hand automatically touched the rim of his top hat as he responded to the vocifer ous greetings to his right and left. With more than military pi em pi ness the president's train arrived al the Heerstrasses station, where Dr Luther's 10-year-old daughter, dress ed in white, stepped forward, and aa tho field marshal alighted spoke a verse of welcome, and, bowing cour teously low, handed tq him a bunch of yellow roses. With a faint smile the field marshal thanked her and then turned the flowers over to his daughter-in-law, to whom Chancellor Luther had presneted a cluster of lilies of the valley. Von Hindenburg wore a black over coat and carried a yellow cane. He shook hands with the other digni taries, after which he bowed to the assembled reporters. At that mo ment a mighty shout aroHe from the top of the embankment where a great crowd assembled. The shouts and cheers were repeated with increased volume as he left the station to step into an automobile. PRESSES TO SPEED ON U, S. CURRENCY Mure Paper Money Than Ever Before to Be Printed.

Liquor Adi Prohibited. Jtulbou. Panama. Mrs Carter, stenographer in the Canal governor's office and Huptlst churchman, quee tloned the right of the Canal post office to carry Panama newspapers with liquor advertisements, ami the Washington, D. C. The treasury has made plans for printing more paper money in the next fiscal year than ever has been turned out by the American government In any other 12 months in -history. Orders have been prepared for th purchase of 200,000,000 sheets of dis tinctive silk fiber paper, from each sheet of. which eight pieces of cur rency are made, and, beginning July 1, the government bureau of engrav ing and printing will bo run at maxi mum capacity to meet the nation's paper money requirements. Never In any one year 'before have the orders for money paper exceeded 150,000,000 sheets. Coincident with an nouncement of the printing program Assistant Secretary Dewey made known that the treasury would take its first step July 1 toward buildinR up a reserve of currency. By this method, It is hoped, the life of the paper money may bo prolonged. An opportunity will bo had for "curing" tho money before it goes Into active service, and this process is expected to keep It from fraying, cracking and otherwise going to pieces so easily. The life of the $1 bill is now only about eight months, whereas treas ury exports figure it should be about a year. In pre-war days the average dollar bill would wear about 14 or 15 months. Mr. Dewey is convinced that higher prices, use of automobiles, the necessity of commerce and Industry and modern ideas and habits compel the carrying of more money. Thus, the silver dollar has fallen into dis- : STATE NEWS f IN BRIEF. i A SCHOOL PA1S A use and the dollar hill and bills of larger denomination have come into greater use with the result that they wear out more quickly. The treasury has not been able since the world war to print money fast enough to permit establishment of a reserve. Mr. Dewey says the bills no ware printed and placed in circulation within ten days, while tests have proved that they should not pass through the printing stages In less than a month and should he "cured" or "seasoned" two or three weeks longer. With the gigantic pro gram outlined for the next fiscal year, It Is his belief that Current demands can he met and a return to the proper process of handling the bills accomplished.

THE LARKS ARE SINGING rr0 THOSE hopeful Individuals who keep their gaze on the towers of Utopia, glinting like gold In the far-off dreamy distance, give thought to the golden rule and put Its fine precepts Into actual practice, the lurks are al ways singing. These humans have their trials and difficulties, "even as you and 1" but with them all, they manage to wear a smile of content. They go about their duties, however discouraging they may seem, with a cheerfulness that gives inspiration to the discontented and fault-finding souls, frequently losing their way and falling In the mire of despair. They know intuitively when to speak and when to curb their tongues, for they bnve learned the most difficult of all arts, the art of self-control, which the venerable suges will tell you Is the first stepping stone to worldly success and an enduring happiness. Hope never deserts them even In their darkest hours. She holds 'her blazing torch over her head and bids them follow. So the gloom of somber night Is transformed to day, and the trusting disciples move from place to place, confident of their ability to find their wny to the hills where the lurks are singing and the sky Is forever light with glorious sunlight. The world owes a debt of gratitude to these optimistic people which It never can pay, and you and I being a part of the world, are likewise delin quent and possibly thoughtless of our constantly Increasing obligation. We are too self-centered, too greedy for gain, too. faithless. We brush aside the weak In our pursuit of earthly dross and trample them under our hasty feet, never stop ping to look back to see whether we have hurt them. We forget that we all are of one flesh, and if we have injured them, we have Injured our selves. Every day the wise Keeper of the Book of Life is calling on some debtor to blot out his or her delinquencies, always hanging ever his or iier heud until the account Is paid In full. If you have canceled your obliga tion and kept the faith, the day of reckoning will have no terrors, for you will find you are as free and happy as the larks singing In gladness all uhout you when the dawning Is rosy and the air Is fragrant with the scent of flowers. ( by McClura Newivaper Syndicate.) o This name has tieen traced to a first name used In Anglo-Saxon days Hererlc, which is connected with Eric and also with Richard, both coming from u word meaning king or prince. One thing Is certain and that is that Herri ck Is thoroughly English and that it is a very old surname. In this country the Herricks were among the early settlers. Henry Herrick, a na tive of Leicester, England, settled in Salem in 1(1120. He was the son of Sir William Herrick of Bean Manor, Leicester. The name seems to be most usual in Leicestershire, England, which was apparently the cradle of the Herricks, and the name is spelled In countless different ways In the old records there. Herlcke and Heyriek were usually employed methods In old days and are still used by seme of the English families. Among the distinguished descend ants of Henry Herrick, the colonist, were John Herrick, educator, who was president of the University of South Dakota and the Pacific university of Oregon; D. Cady Herrick, prominent jurist ; Ebenezer, w ho was representa tive from Maine at Washington before the Civil war; Joshua H., also Maine representative, and Samuel Herrick, representative from New York. In England there was an Interesting old family of goldsmiths of the name. Sometimes they spelled it Hericke, sometimes Herrick and sometimes Heyriek. Sir William Herrick or Herlcke, born In 1562, was the fifth son of John Heyriek or Eyricke of Leicester, who undoubtedly belonged to the same connection to which the colonist, Henry Her-lck, belonged. Sir William Herrick was a money lender who won favor with kings and nobles. A son of his named Richard Herrick, born In 160ff, was warden of Manchester Collegiate church, and a nephew was Sir Robert Herrick, born in 1591, well-known English poet. His father was Nicholas Herrick, brother of Sir William Herrick, also a gold smith. , The poet, Herrick, a contemporary of Shakespeare, wrote some charming songs. Among them are : Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Oid time Is still a-flyine. and Cherry ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry, Pull and fair ones come and buy!

The weekly report of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, cov ering returns from 123 mills, also re flected conditions none too satisfac tory, with a marked reduction In sales bookings. In the week ending May the mills sold only 100.29J.477 feet," the lowest total reported In many weeks. In the previous week sales aggregated 119.915.6S7 feet, and for some time they had not fallen below 110,000,000 feet. npillS little story has one merit, at least. Of my own personal knowl edge 1 can testify that it Is true. A tired business luun in New York, coining home after a particularly enervating day, had occasion, or thought he hud, to speak sharp words of reproof to his eight-year-old son. He wound up by sending the youngster to bed without any supper. That night, stealing into the young ster's room to see whether he had fallen asleep, his mother found him wide awake and very scornful of her ad unces. "Why. Jackie." the said, "you shouldn't be surly toward me just because your father scolded you. I'm not to blame." Yes. you are too:' stated Jackie. "You married the big stiff, and now I got to stand for him 1" (Copyrtftat by lb McNaucht 8ya41cata. Ibo.)
