ON TARIFF 15 LN
OF PARTY LEADERS
WASHINGTON.—(AP)—Repub
lican leaders of the senate today
sought to work out an arrange
ment that would insure a vote on
the tariff bill by the end of the
week.
| Repulsed in an effort to obtain
!an agreement for a roll-call late
l in the afternoon on the supplemen.
tary conference report, containing
[ the disputed flexible clause, they
! nevertheless were hopeful the way
! could be cleared for early disposi
| tion of the bill.
A Democratic spokesman, Sena
tor Simmons of North Carolina,
ranking minority member of the
finance committee, prevented the
proposed agreement for a vote to
day. Senator McNary, the assist
ant Republican leader, proposed
such an agreement late yesterday,
but Simmons objected on the
ground that several members
wished to speak before taking a
roll call.
With Senator Norris, independ
ent Republican, Nebraska, Sim
mons contended much time might
be saved, if the two conference re
ports could ve considered at once.
Only the supplemental report is
now before the senate. It contains
but six provisions, including the
flexible clause and the lumber tar
iff, while the other section of the
report contains the hundreds of
rate sections.
The State Department has com
plied with the resolution of Sena
tor Thomas., Democrat, Oklahoma,
asking it tc submit to the senate
all foreign protests against the
pending measure. These . totaled
more than 160, coming from about
30 nations.
LaVarre May Be
Released Under
Bond Is Ruling
William LaVarre, who surren
dered to Augusta, Ga., officers a
few days ago on contempt of
court charges, may obtain release
from jail under $5,000 bond, Judge
Bascom S. Deaver decided here
today following presentation of a
petition for bond by Roy 0. Cooper,
Macon, attorney for LaVarre. The
hearing was private.
Bond will be made in Augusta,
where LaVarre has been confined
in the Richmond county jail.
The contempt of court charges
resulted from LaVarre's failure to
appear in court to answer charges
growing out of a newspaper part
nership with Harold S. Hall.
Sentences Meted :
Prohibition cases continued to
occupy the attention of Federal
court here today, excepting the
case of Roy O. Porterfield, Clarke
county, who was convicted on a
charge of stealing an automobile.
He was given a year and a day in
the penitentiary.

Protracted Tobacco Use Is
Mouth Cancer Cause, Says
Weed is Principal But Re
mote Cause of Disease,
John Hopkins Doctor
Tells Medical Society.
HARRISBURG, Pa.—(AP)—Pro
tracted use of tobacco was called
the principal though remote cause
of mouth cancer at a meeting to
day of the Dauphin County Medi
cal Society.
It also was said that tobacco
may be rid of much of its dan
ger by cieanliness of the mouth.
“There is no question.” said Dr.
Joseph Colt Bloodgood of Johns
Hopkins, “that the most common
cause of cancer/ of the mouth to
day is the long' contigued use of
tobacco. The second is ragged,
dirty teeth. Cancer of the mouth
qmust have been very rare before
the discoyvery of tobacco in Am
erica.
It is since the discovery of
tobacco that we have learned that
some barbarous tribes in Africa
have cancer of the; mouth follow
ing the chewing of betel nuts. It
was the smoking of the short pipe
in Ireland that first called atten
tion to cancer of the mouth and
lip.. We have no evidence, now
that we have our recent experi
ence, that it makes much differ
ence whether it is pipe, cigarettes,
cigars, chewing tobacco or snuff,
or betel nut. Apparently it is the
irritation that is the chief cause.”
“My evidence convinces me that
everyone should know that the
only treatment for any irritation
produced by tobacco, with and
without the secondary factor of
teeth or plates, is the discontinua
tion of the tobacco. It is danger
ous experiment to try radiation
and the continuation of the tobac-
co. Reduction of the amount of
tobacco is not sufficient. Dangers
are encountered and lives lost by
any compromise. I write with the
courage of my convictions, after a

Bids Ordered For
New Whitehall
‘ County School
The Clarke county commission
ers yesterday afternoon requested
the County Board of Education to
submit bids to contractors for the
erection of the proposed new
school building at Whitehall.
This action came after members
of the Board of Kducation appear
ed before the commissioners and
asked that an additional appropria
tion of $2,250 be made for the
erection of the school in order that
an auditorium, sufficient to meet
the needs of the community, might
be built along with the new build
ing.
In lien of making an additional
appropriation the commissioners
decided that it would be a better
plan to advertise for the lowest
bidder, with the right to reject
any and all bids, in order to know,
as near as possible, how much the
new building with the auditorium
would cost.
The main force of the Clarke
county chaingang will do some
light grading on the Agricultural
College campus, between Soule
Hall and Lumkpin street, begin
ning Monday, the commissioners
decided.
Chancellor C. M. Snelling and
Dr. M. P. Jarnagin appeared be
fore the commissioners and re
quested the use of the convicts.
Webb - Crawford Company,
wholesale grocers, were awarded
the contract for groceries as low.

Four speakers ‘lauded the pro
gress of the College Avenue Op.
portunity School at its commence

in the school auditorium. Six stu
dents were awarded diplomas and
twenty-nine were | given certifi
cates.
Opportunity schools give a per
son a chance to get the exact
education he needs for his busi
ness, said Paul W. Chapman, state
director of vocational education,
who made the literary address. If
we are to cope with this fa®t bus
iness world, our lives must be a
continuous education, he contin
ued.
There are certain subjects inm
the schools which we do mot like,
and do not take, said J. F, Can
non, state supervisor of trades and
industrial education, of Atlanta.
When it is too late to take the
‘tourses in public schools, we find
that we did need them, but there
is no way to go back and take the
gubjects. Gpportunity schools of
fer such a plan.
Abit Nix said the people of
Athens fully appreciated the
worth-whileness of the school, and
