Congress Gives
Its Approval To
1924 Election
Washington, Feb. 11. - Congress
meeting in a joint convention today
canvassed the results of the November
election and certified to the American
i people the election of Coolidge and
Dawes.
The ceremony was simple, but was
invested with the dignity accruing
from more than a century of rigorous
observance. The sealed envelopes
containing the votes of the state elec
tors were opened in alphabetical or-
der by president pro tempora Cum-
mins of the Senate, and handed to the
official tellers--Senators Spencer, Re-
publica n, Missouri, and King, Demo
erat, Utah, andl RepreiiI[a tives White,
Reptblican, Kansas, :and Jeffers
Democrat, Alabma -who determined
and announced their content.
The vote already had been entered
upon printed forms, to which the tel-
lers aflixed their signatures. Senator
Cunmmins then dissolved the "con-ven
thion" with the statwment Ithat formal
notice of the vote on the journal of
the two houses would conplet e the re-.
quirements of the constitution, and
the laws for the election of the ad
ministration beginning March 4. I
Special preparations had been made
to handle crowds in the galleries, but
they wer otnly comfortably filled. Do-
spite the wa'njiug of the chair, the
amusement of the audience was manI-
test when the tellers, on more than
One occasion, made mistakes in iden-
tifying one of the distinguished can-
didates. The Vi(ce-Pr'sident eldet wa
noted variously as from Kentucky,

President, in the reading of one vote,
as being a native of Washington.
Union Will Put
Bad Checks On
Public Display
Students' checks returned from the
bank marked "short" or "no funds"
have always been a source of trouble
for the Union, the amounts of ,ad
checks on hand usually averaging $30
to $50 and the total often running as
high as $75. Various plans have been
tried in an attempt to cut down the
amount of bad checks which are cash-
ed for students, but none has proven
successful to date.
Peng a club for the students, Union
officials do not care to refuse checks
entirely, and as a result a new plan
has been inauigurated, which it is hop-
ed will tend to ininimnize t'he cashing
of worthless Checks.
All checs which Pave been return-
,d from banks because of lack of
funds to cover the amount have been
placed in a glass framo -nd hung in
a conspicuous place at the main desk.
Yesterday $35 worth were hung in the
frame and as more come back they

THE CROW AND

A thirsty crow found a pitcher
with some water in it, but so
little that she could not reach it
with her beak and it seemed as
though she would die of thirst.
But you can't keep a good crow
down, so she began dropping peb-
bles in the pitcher until the water
rose high enough for her to get
a drink. "Necessity is the mother
