COMMITTEE BUSY ON NEW TREATIES ATTEMPT IS NOW ON TO CONSOL IDATE ALL TREATY OPPONENTS INTO UNITED MACHINE STORM CLOUDS GATHERING Proposed Added Clauses Will Have To Be Discussed In Committee, Lengthening Delay Washington.—Despite the pressure of both republican and democratic sen ate leaders for prompt action, con troversies are developing within the foreign relations committee which may lead to a long discussion of the arms conference treaties before any of them is brought to the senate floor for ratification. Some members of the committee predicted that the effort to secure a detailed explanation of the negotia tions leading up to the four-power Pacific treaty would in itself become an element of considerable delay. Af terward at least four proposed reser vations to this treaty, which is first on the list, seem likely to come before the committee before it goes on to the other seven conference agreements that await senate approval. The party leaders on both sides of the chamber are satisfied that the disagreements and delays encountered will in no way endanger ratification of the treaties, but they are watching with manifest interest the attempt now in progress to consolidate into a fighting machine all the safe elements who are dissatisfied with the results of the W T ashington negotiations. Thus far there is no evidence that any close ly-knit anti-treaty ‘‘bloc’’ has been at tained. The first test of strength in the tom mittee may come during the coming week over a proposal to further pur sue the quest for detailed informa tion regarding the four-power treaty negotiations. President Harding is ex pected to inform- the senate, in re sponse to its resolutions of inquiry, that no minutes of the negotiations were kept. But it was indicated that such a reply might not be acceptable to some committee members and that an effort might be made to summon Sec retary Hughes, the American delega tion head, home from Bermuda, where he has gone for a rest. LANDIS QUITS JOB ON FEDERAL BENCH Famous Judge Will Devote His Entire Time To Work As Supreme Arbi ter Os Baseball Chicago.—Judge Kennesaw Moun tain Landis will end his seventeen , years’ service on the federal bench March 1 to devote his entire time to his duties as national commissioner of baseball, he announced when he for warded his resignation to President Harding. For fifteen months Judge Landis has held both positions, draw ing $50,000 a year from organized baseball, less the $7,500 salary he re ceived as federal judge. At the time he took up his duties as baseball dic tator, he was offered a contract for $50,000 a year, but insisted that as long as he remained on the bench the amount of his salary as judge be de ducted from the total paid him by baseball. The contract was for seven years. Miners Are Demanding Six-Hour Day Indianapolis.—Renewal of the de mand of the union coal miners for a six-hour day, five day week, a pro posal that was made before the 1919 strike, was adopted by the convention of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica as a part of the policy the union will seek to have included in new wage agreements, effective April 1. This demand had the united opposition of union’s leaders, including all dis trict presidents. Urges Protection For The Unwary New York.—Though hundreds of complaints of stock swindling through the operation of bucketshops have been received and indictments returned against nearly a score of brokers, Dis trict Attorney Blanton expresses the belief that not 10 per cent of the fraud victims had reported their losses. Coal Production Dropped in 1921 Washington—Decrease of more than 200,000„000 tons in the world’s production of coal in 1921 compared with the output in 1920, was noted in a statement on mining activities recently issued by the United States geological survey. From reports so far received, the statement says, the total world output of coal last year was 1,100,000,000 metric tons, with France and Germany the only nations showing an increased production. The British strike and world's wide depres sion are named as chief factors. Millionairess To Wed Riding Master Chicago.—Harold F. McCormick, president of the International Harves ter company, has formally announced the engagement of his daughter, Ma thilde, aged 16, to Max Oser, 48-year- | old proprietor of a Berne, Switzerland, rtding academy. The announcement, following a day of conference among the family, was issued through the butler at the home of Mrs. Cyrus Mc- Cormick, mother of the harvester president, and no intimation will be made as to when the wedding will be celebrated | Taffeta Triumphs Anew; j | v Entrancing Millinery Iflitlillil^iiiiiiiiiiiiiii^ THERE Is something so unpreten tious and appealing about taffeta silk that It comes gently rustling In each season to triumph anew among afternoon and evening frocks. It has a certain dignity that belongs to silk and a certain degree of youthfulness that belongs to itself, but can be ac commodated to women of any age. In the frocks pictured here the styles bespeak in the wearer something of youthfulness. Thi is a quality that some women preserve for many years, and it is worth recalling that tnffeta helps them to look voung— Taffeta for Afternoon or Evening. - • it any of them have forgotten it. The pretty dress at the left Is shown in black taffeta, and has a draped bodice fas tening at one side, with a large jet buckle over a long bend fringe. The bodice is unusually graceful. The neck opening allows a dainty chemi sette of net and lace to show, and the kimono sleeves will recommend It to slender women. Ruffles of the taffeta finish the collar, sleeves and loose side panels and make a pretty adornment for the skirt. Taffeta is sufficient unto itself in the gay party frock in which two colors are combined in a changeable weave. The wide skirt is scalloped at the bottom and bound with a fold of the silk. The new neck line is finished in the same way and empha sized by two full ruffles which serve Four of the New Models in Hats. also to call attention to the short, sleeves.

Almost every cne of the new hats is in itself the best possible excuse. Besides, there are no better hats than the first ef forts of the designers and an early choice means that one need not be hurried and has a wide variety at hand to make a selection from. The newly arrived spring hats, de serve te be called entrancing, their lines nre beautiful and immensely be coming, the colors and materials a continuous exhibit of splendid per formance on the part of the manu facturers. There is much that Is new in fabrics and trimmings and design ers have found these things inspiring. Careful hand work characterizes the milliner’s part in the creation of new headwear. Four of the new models, ns shown here, disclose spirited shapes and novel materials, but the values of the lovely colors are lost in a picture. A soft, silky and pliable braid makes the hat at the top of the group with bordered ribbon laid in fine pluits about the coronet. A cluster of little, niany-hued posies is much at home against this brilliant background. The drooping-brlm model below it makes use of silver filet lace over corn flower silk as a covering and has a facing of light crepe de chine, which may be chosen with reference to the wearer’s complexion. The deep, strong ■ blue is becoming to every one. A | very new trimming appears on the hat of braid and silk at the right. It I is called “match” trimming from Its resemblance to matches and Is used in many clever ways. The lust hat has its soft, up-turned brim, covered with folds of crepe de chi.-e and Is draped with wide and hnndsome ribbon. tomtom rr vbtum h mttnt. uwott CALOMEL IS A I DANGEROUS DRUG Next Dose May Salivate You* Loosen Teeth or Start Rheumatism.

Private Washington Lee Johnson had just come up with the replacements and, not never having had no luck a-tall, went on sentry duty the first night in the new camp. In the wee, sraa’ hours along blew the lieutenant colonel who had a reputation for be ing one hard-boiled guy. “Halt! Who goes dar?” bellowed Pri vate Johnson. “Officer of the post.” There was a long and painful silence while the sentry racked his brain for the proper thing to say. Then the officer snarled: “Well, why don’t you say some thing? Are you going to leave me standing here like this all night?” “Nossuh,” answered Private John son in relief as a flash of inspiration came. “No, lndeedy, suh. At ease!’’ -r-American Legion Weekly.

Howe' of Kansas lias been something of a traveler, lie made a number of trips abroad and went twice around the world. It was on bis first t,rip abroad that lie encoun tered one of the sea bounds whose chief boast is concerned in the num ber of times they have crossed the At lantic. Mr. Howe tells the incident as his favorite story. “Is this your first trip ” the sea hound asked Mr. Howe on the occa sion of their first meeting. Mr. Howe admitted that It was. “Well," said the sea hound, “I’ve crossed the Atlan tic 40 times.” On the second day the sea hound again put the question to Mr. Howe and again vouchsafed the same observation. He repeated it at frequent intervals during the trip. It. was on the sixtli day, after the sea hound had again spoken of the number of ids crossings, that Mr. Howe said to him: “By the way, have you ever been to Omaha?” The sea hound said lie never had. “Well," re torted Mr. Howe, “I go there every week.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

A little girl, whose father is widely known as n writer of humorous stories, was recently approached by a visitor, who said: “It must lie nice to have a papa who knows so many fine stories." The little girl blushed and hung her head. “Aren’t you proud of your pupa?” the visitor asked. “Yes,” tile little girl answered, “but I t iiink I ought to tell you something.” “What Is it?” “The stories by my papn aren’t stories at ail.” "Not stories?" “No.” And in a deep, hoarse whisper, the child confessed: “He makes them all up out of hia own head.” These Post-War Days. Representative Frear of Wisconsin said at a dinner at Milwaukee: “There lias been a lot of talk to tlie contrary, but nevertheless the cost of all kinds of wearing apparel keeps unreasonably high. “A rich Milwaukee banker sat at luncheon the other day when a ser vant entered and said: “‘There’s a secondhand-clot lies man at the back door, sir.’ “‘Good!’ said the rich banker. ’Ask him if he can let me have a second hand pair of shoes at a reasonable price.’ ’’ Nor is the world getting better when there are fewer “beg pardons.” Personal opinion is a mighty club when it Is also public opinion.
