TARIFF ON FARM I
mom®
BV COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18.—Two
definite steps to stimulate the mar-j
ket and check the price declines of!
farm products were taken in the;
house today through the combined |
efforts of the western and southern j
representatives in downing opposi-'
tion raised by those from the east-i
ern manufacturing’ sections.
By a vote of 212 to 61 the house
after three hours’ debate passed in
amended form the resolution of Sena
tor Gronna. North Dakota, providing
for the revival of the war finance
corporation to aid in the exportation
of farm products. The measure
must go back to the senate because
of the amendment, which struck out
the section expressing the opinion of
congress that the federal reserve
board should provide liberal exten
sions of credit to farming sections.
At the same time, the house ways
and means committee completed an
emergency tariff bill on farm prod
ucts in the record time of six hours.
Tile rates were placed so high that
they are expected to act as an em
bargo against the importation of the
same products.
Veto Expected
The senate is expected to send the
resolution reviving the war finance
corporation to the president early
next week, and it is regarded as vir
tually certain that he will veto it.
Secretary of the Treasury Houston
is believed to have expressed the
president’s view in declaring it un
wise for the government to try to
check the price declines by again en
tering this business field.
Votes in both houses, however, in
dicate that it can be passed over a
veto.
Representative Fordney, chairman
of the ways and means committee,
expects to push the emergency tariff
bill through the house next week
Many of the products affected are
now on the free list. It established
the following tariffs for one year-
Tariff Schedule
Wheat. 30 cents a bushel; wool in
the grease, 15 cents a pound; wool,
skirted, 20 cents a pound; sheep, un
der one year, $1 each; over one year
?2; mutton and lamb, 2 1-2 cents a
pound; cattle, 30 per cent ad valorem;
wheat flour, 20 per cent ad valorem;
corn, 15 cents a bushel; potatoes, 25
cents a bushel; onions, 40 cents a
bushel; peanuts and beans, 2 cents a
pound; rice, uncleaned, 1 1-4 cents a
pound; cleaned, 2 cents; long staple
cotton, 7 cents a pound: cotton seed,
soya bean, cocoanut and peanut oils,
20 cents a gallon.
The committee decided to ask the
treasury department for figures as
to the difference in the cost of
production between wool products,
including cloth and clothing, here
and abroad.
u«iT^ e Republicans, backing the
bill, are confident that they have
obtained Democratic support through
the inclusion of cotton and the
vegetable oils, which come into
competition with cotton seed oil of
the south. However, there is still
considerable doubt if the Democrats
of the south will turn their backs
on their historic traditions and
vote virtually solid for a protective
tariff for the first time in the his
tory of congress.
Pleas of representatives from the
large cities and manufacturing re
gions that the house, after attack
ing the administration for two years
for failing to reduce the cost of
living, was by its actions today at
tempting to drive prices up again
at the first sign of a drop, had
little effect. The western-southern
combination worked perfectly and
snowed under this opposition.
Would Add Others
The eastern representatives claim
ed that if all this legislation is pass
ed, the government should aid the
manufacturers and working men
who also have suffered losses dur
ing tl e recent business depression.
It is certain that when the emer
gency tariff bill reaches the floor
efforts to tack on amendments to
affect many other products will be
made. This may cause its eventual
defeat. President Wilson also is ex
pected to veto the tariff measure.
In opposing the revival of the
war finance corporation. Represen
tative McFadden, Pennsylvania,
chairman of the banking and cur
rency committee, declared that the
government had reached the limit
of credit expansion and that it
would be unwise to endeavor to stop
the present deflation.
“Rehabilitation of the war finance
corporation means further infla
tion,” he said. “Further inflation
means higher prices. This is an
avowed object of the supporters of
this resolution.”
Representative Walsh. Republi
can. Massachusetts, attacked the
Republicans for going before the
country on a pledge to reduce the
cost of living and then “endeavor
ing to send it back up, a month
after election.”
“Until the consuming public be
gins to get the benefit of declin
ing prices, I fail to see why we
should attempt to check them,” he
said.
“I object to this system of ex
pecting the government to hold the
bag every time somebody sustains
a loss,” said Representative Phe
lan, Democrat, Massachusetts. “For
two years the Republicans have
been complaining because the ad
ministration was forced to suspend
the operation of natural economic
laws during the war, and now it is
proposed to again check their oper
ation There is a business depres
sion estimated at 70 per cent and
the loss to the farmers is some
thing they should bear in unison
with the other interests of the
country.”
Supporting the resolution, Repub
lican Mondell claimed that the re
cent price declines have affected
the farmers more than any other
class and that it is unwise to have
such sudden decreases.
“Eurone wants our products, he
said. “The farmers have large sup
plies which they can not sell. Pri
vate capital can not furnish the
long time credits necessary. It is
up to the government to aid. I be
lieve no harm can be done by the
corporation’s revival.”
Representative Stevenson, south
Carolina, and other Democrats from
the south attacked Secretary of the
Treasury Houston for opposing the
revival of the corporation. .
“This congress has appropriated
nearly $2,000,000,000 for the rail
roads and now there is a cry
against it setting aside far less to
prevent thousands of farmers from
going into bankruptcy.” he said.
“Secrete rv Houston.” said Repre
sentative Wingo, Arkansas, “says the
government can not check the declin
ing prices. Do you believe that this
great government that won the war
has not that power?”
First attempt to defeat the reso
lution was made by Representative
Luce, Massachusetts, who claimed it
was a ■ revenue measure and they* -
fore could not originate in the sen
ate This view was overruled by the
house by a large majority.

Miss Katherine Nichols’ invention is intended to do away with
fatigue by perfect distribution of weight.
NEW YORK. —Nearly all inven
tions in the world have been made or
“happened upon” by women, accord
ing to Katherine Nichols.
Miss Nichols is the inventor of the
combination-telephone. She explains
her statement by saying that the
reason for this fact lies in the crea
tive nature of women.
Women Beat Adapted
“Woman,” she says, “is the mother
of man—hence of all creation. Be
cause invention goes hand in hand
with a practical imagination, women
are particularly adapted for the work
of discovery in the field of the un
flnown.”
Her own genius, she says, is in
the “psychic, domain”—she explains
her success with the telephone as a
“combination of divine accident and
intelligent labor.”
Miss Nichols is self-taught. She
was engaged as a telephone opera-
DENIED AUDIENCE
WITH HIS WIFE,
HERO KILLS SELF
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Dec. 18.—A
report setting forth that Lieutenant
Pat O’Brien, officer of the Royal Fly
ing corps in the world war. found
dead last night in a downtown hotel,
had committed suicide, was filed to
day by police detectives who investi
gated the case.
Lieutenant O’Brien was found with
a bullet wound in his forehead and
an army pistol at his side. Police said
he had tried and failed to effect a
reconciliation with his wife, a mo
tion picture actress.
O’Brien, the detectives said, came
here from Oakland yesterday and
went to the hotel where his wife had
a room. He took another room and
telephoned to her, according to the
report. Mrs. O’Brien, it was de
clared, replied she was too ill to see
him. A few minutes later attendants
heard a shot fired. O’Brien was found
dead.
A note in O’Brien’s handwriting,
found in the room, addressed to his
wife, follows!
Only a coward would do what
I am doing, but I guess I am
.one. With all my war record. I
am just like the rest of the peo
ple in the world, a little bit of
clay. And to you, my sweet little
wife, I go thinking of you. And
my dear, sweet mother, my sis
ters and brothers.
And may the just God that an
swerd my prayers in those two
days that 1 spent tn making my
escape from Germany once more
answer them.
And bring trouble, sickness,
disgrace and more bad luck than
any one else in this world has
ever had and curse forever that
awful woman that has broken up
my home and taken you from
me; the woman that stood in
my home and gave (several
words blurred) she caused this
life of mine, that just a few
moments ago was happy, to go
on that sweet adventure of
death.
Please send what you find

To the five armies I have

say good-by.
Lieutenant O’Brien was a native
of Richmond, Cai., where he was
born thirty-three years ago. Prior to
the war he was a fireman on the
Santa Fe railroad. He enlisted in the
Royal Flying corps in Canada early
in the war. He was cantured by the
Germans, but made a daring escape.
Lieutenant O'Brien enlisted in the
Royal Flying corps in Canada early
in The war and soon gained fame for
daring exploits. Once he fell sev
eral thousand feet after a battle with
a German flier and landed behind the
enemy lines. He was put in a Ger
man hospital. Later, while bound for
a German prison camp he jumped
from the speeding train and for sev
enty-two days wandered through
Germany and Luxembourg, finally
arriving in Holland, whence he made
his way into Belgium. Two years
ago Lieutenant O’Brien fell 2,000
feet at Kelley field, San Antonio,
Tex., and escaped with a broken
nose. ,

Smith, one of the most highly es

painfully burned Friday afternoon
while playing Santa Claus for the

at their annual Christmas tree.
Physicians state that his burns are
not necessarily serious, being con
fined chiefly to his hands and legs,
but he will be confined to bed for sev

Mr. Smith was distributing pres
ents t’rorp a tree with lighted candles
on it. when his Santa Claus coat
caught fire from one of the candles,
and in a few seconds he was literally
a blazing torch himself. Prompt
work in stripping the burning coat
from himself saved his life.

said to be considering her invention

“In the near future the world will

UNMASKED BOYS
HOLD UP ANSLEY
PARK DRUG STORE
Several bold robberies were re
ported to the police Saturday night.
Two unmasked bandits entered the
Ansley Park Drug Store, at 142 Ans
ley avenue, about 10 o’clock, and
held S G. Cone, the proprietor, and
his wife at pistol points while they
stole $75 from the cash register. It
is reported that they came and went
in an automobile driven by a third
person, who waited outside until the
job was finished.
L. B. Davidson, of 117 LaFrance
street, reported that two white men
held him up with pistols near the
corner of Summit and Highland ave
nues at about the same time. He
said that they relieved him of his
watch.
R. L. Thomas, a negro mail car
rier, of 50 Renfroe street, told the
police that two negro highwaymen
held him up near the junction of
Edgewood avenue and Yonge street,
taking $3.50 and a watch.
W. S. Campbell, of 246 Peters
street, told a very dramatic story of
his experience with two negro rob
bers on Greensferry avenue shortly
after 10 o’clock. Mr. Campbell said
that two negroes accosted him near
the corner of Wellborn avenue, and
that one of them pointed a shotgun
at him and ordered him to hold up
his hands. He said he ducked be
neath the muzzle of the weapon, and
closed with the negro, knocking him
down. Meanwhile the other pegro
came to the assistance of his fallen
comrade, and Mr. Campbell disen
gaged himself and ran. He says that
following this, one of the robbers
fired at him, but that he missed. He
escaped being robbed.
The police were furnished a com
plete description of the two high
waymen, and it is expected that they
will be caught.
The police on Saturday night ar
rested Grant Thomas, a young ne
gro, giving his address as 276 West
Fair street. They reported that they
found him standing in a dark street
with a loaded shotgun in his pos
session. He was held at police sta
tion under a blanket charge of sus
picion.
The robbery of the Ansley ave
nue drug store was committed by
two very young men, according to
Mr. Cone, the proprietor. He said
they carried large pistols, and seem
ed fully capable of handling them,
but that they seemed to be little
older than boys. He stated to the
police that they drove up to the
front door of the store in an auto
mobile, and left a third man in the

Moonshine Still Stolen
From Courthouse Vault
LINCOLNTON, Ga., Dec. 18. —Mys-
tery surrounds the disappearance
some time between last Saturday and
Monday of a large still of about
eighty gallons capacity from one of
the vaults of the courthouse in Lin
colnton.
The still was made of copper and
was estimated to have cost about
$125. It had been found some miles
southeast of Lincolnton by citizens
of the county and had been brought
to Lincolnton and turned over to
the authorities. It was then placed
in one of the vaults at the courthouse
which is supposed to be fire-proof
and burglar-proof.
But locked doors and unknown
combinations were no insurmountable
obstalces to someone who wanted
the still, for on Monday morning
the courthouse officials were aston
ished to find that the still which had
been carefully locked in one of the
offices of the courthouse, and to
make assurance doubly sure, had been
placed in one of the strong vaults
and locked inside the vault by the
combination, had disappeared com
pletely. No evidence of violence was
evident, and absolutely no clue to
the disappearance of the still has
been unearthed.
11. S. OFFICIALS SEE
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOB
BUSINKSNEXTYEAR
BY DAVID LAWBENCI!
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. —Busi-
ness conditions throughout the
United States are none too good but
the frank expectation of offiical
Washington is that improvement
will begin to be noted about the
first of the year.
Not since the depression of De
cember, 1914, when the outbreak of
the European war played havoc with
American commerce, has attention
been so closely fastened upon the
national business situation. And
while officials in the treasury and
the various government bureaus,
where contact with business is close,
express the opinion that there has
been some justification for pessi
mism, the universal judgment seems
to be that conditions have been made
worse by pessimistic talk as well
as by the hastily expressed opin
ions of would-be economists in busi
ness men’s clubs and other places
where commercial men gather.
In other words, the government—
meaning most of the officials of in
fluence in it—has told the writer
that the present depression is in
large part psychological. It was
stimulated by psychological factors
and is being’ maintained by psycho
logical influences. And incidentally
such predictions as Senator Penrose
has made from his isloation at At
lantic City concerning ‘he “hard”
times ahead do not sit well on either
Republicans or Democrats who be
lieve it is the duty of the members
of congress to cease calamity howl
ing and give attention to the tariff
and other economic measures which
may afford quick relief in this pe
riod of readjustment.
Questions Wot Political
However, the questions involved
are not political and the attitude
which the government in all its
branches is taking toward the busi
ness situation is political. Just as
many demands have come from the
Democratic south as from the Re
publican west for relief measures
and the Democratic administration
has had the support of leading Re
publicans in congress in refusing to
sanction wildcat remedies.
The most striking fact which Im
presses itself on the investigator
here is the almost unanimous judg
ment that the “retailer is blocking
the game.” It is contended that in
the midst of a falling market, when
the farmers and manufacturers find
it necessary to take lower prices for
their wares, the cost of goods sold
i nthe retail stores is not materially
reduced. The farmer insists that
he can’t take lower prices because
his cost of living has not declined.
But in defense of the retailer, who
bought his goods at high prices and
feels that he must get rid of them
somewhere near original cost, the
opinion is volunteered again and
again that while the retailer may
generously take some losses on the
goods which he has on his shelves,
he cannot afford to take much of a
chance when rent and labor and fuel
and other items that enter Into his
overhead show little sign -f coming
down. If the retailer is blocking
the readjustment therefore It is said
in his behalf that the reasons are
to be ofund in the cost of clerical
labor and light and heat and street
car fares and delivery wagons and
kindred items.
Bottom Reached
The trouble about any period of
readjustment is that all things do
not move downward uniformly. But
such institutions as the federal re
serve board express themselves as
ever so much more satisfied with the
situation today than a year ago.
Twelve months ago, members of the
board say, they didn’t know when the
drop would come or how hard the
fall would be. Now the bottom has
been reached and it is much easier
to deal with an upward curve than
a downward glide.
Not a word has come from the fed
eral reserve board to justify the ru
mor, but business men hereabouts
are beginning to feel confident that
the board will reduce the rediscount
rate about the first of the year and
that money then will be more plenti
ful.
Labor naturally is uneasy and is
fighting hard against wage reduc
tions, but laws greater than mere de
sire are operating in the business sit
uation today. Just as the consumers
have been carrying on a virtual
strike for many months, insisting
that they would do without certain
goods until prices came down, so
have manufacturers simply been forc
ed to close down and say they can’t
start until wages come down to lev
els that permit business to operate
on a living scale.
In the process of readjustment,
there are many who feel the pinch,
particularly those who refused to
heed the government’s warnings and
did not practice thrift in times of
plenty. Some people who have prac
ticed too much thrift and have insist
ed that prices go dovrn practically
to pre-war levels may be badly fool
ed, however, for the stoppage of pro
ducetion in many commodities in the
last few months may result in an
upward trend of prices after the first
of the year.
Change for Better Coming
This is not expected to be true of
many products-, but it will be dis
covered when buying is resumed that
there is a scarcity in certain goods
which haven’t been manufactured for
some time and naturally the law of
supply and demand will make soaie
prices high. Psychology plays an im
portant part in forcing prices up as
well as down.
Change for the better in the entire
situation may be expected after
Christmas. The return of sound
prosperity and stable business con
ditions cannot be looked for until
some of the big manufacturing con
cerns take the initiative. It will be
a moment for leadership. Wise busi
ness men rarely have missed those
opportunities. But the big fact is
that the worst is over and the whole
psychological current here reflects
an expectation of a new era of prof
it-making in which business will go
forward on a sounder and better ba
sis. And the feeling is that the era
will begin in the next month or so
and be accentuated in the spring.
Building operations, of course, usu
ally begin in the early spring, but it
is fully expected that throughout the
entire country a real start will then
be made in eliminating the shortage
of houses. Building materials are
dropping. When they get low enough
to tempt people to build, rents will
naturally come down. Rents have
been high because new houses have
been few. When rents begin to top
ple, the average working man will be
relieved of one of the most painful
items in his cost of living. The
while situation is Interrelated, but the
downward movement of prices will
have its greatest compensations in
the first months of the new year.
That’s the best judgment of most
men in the government.

Home-MadeCandy Recipes
For Christmas Season
Given by Sister Mary”
Scotch Brownies and Wintergreen Fondant Wafers.
By Sister Mary
If there is one part of the Christ
mas preparations in which every
member of the family may share it’s
the candy-making. From the littlest
to the biggest there’s work for all.
A strong arm stirs fudge and
penouche with ease and vigor and
small hands pick out nut meats with
speed.
It isn’t necessary to make all the
candy at one time. In fact fondant
is muc hbetter if made several days
or a week before being dressed up
with nuts. Fudge dries rather quick
ly so should not be made more than
two or three days before Christmas.
All these candies are made with
out the use of a thermometer. Cold
water, not necessarily ice water, is
used for determining when the candy
is done. The exact number of min
utes required for cooking candy can
not be given, for sugar and atmos
phere have much to do with the
quickness of cooking. If possible
choose a clear, cold day or evening
to make any kind of candy, but
fondant and glace fruits and nuts
really demand dry cold.
Scotch Brownies
Perhaps the easiest candy to make
is butterscotch. This is so simple
that children could make it and pour
the syrup into a pan Instead of drop
ping from the spoon.
11-4 cups brown sugar.
6 teaspoons vinegar.
2 tablespoons butter.
Mix thoroughly in a granite pan
before putting over the fire. Bring
slowly to the boiling point and boll
slowly till brittle when dropped in
cold water. Do not stir while boil
ing. The candy must snap when
tried in water. Drop from a spoon
onto a marble slap or oiled paper
to make wrappers.
Mari jells
Another candy that is very simple
to make but seems quite a mystery
in the finished product is the jelly
squares.
2 tablespoons granulated gelatine.
3. cups granulated sugar.
3-4 cup boiling water.
1-3 cup cold water.
1 lemon (juice and grated rind).
Soak gelatine in cold water for ten
minutes. Add boiling water and stir
until dissolved. Add sugar and boil
slowly for fifteen minutes. Remove
from fire and let cool a few minutes
before adding the lemon juice and
grated rind. Turn into a shallow
pan which has been dipped in cold
water. Let stand all day or over
night. Cut into squares and roll in
powdered sugar.
Fondant
Fondant is one of the easiest
things in the world to make and
forms the basis of an infinite variety
of candies. The syrup should form
a soft ball that can be picked up
with fingers when dropped in cold
water. And I like to use a saucer
instead of a cup of cold water to
try candy in.
2 cups granulated sugar.
1-8 teaspoon cream of tartar.
1-2 cup water.
Mix sugar and cream of tartar and

add water. Stir until well mixed.
Put over a slow fire and bring to
a boil. As the sugar crystallizes
around the edges of the pan wipe it
off with a cloth dipped in cold wa
ter. Let the syrup boil until the soft
ball stage is reached. Put the pan
in a larger pan of cold water to stop
boiling immediately. Let cool and
stir until creamy and thick. When
too thick to stir turn out on a plat
ter or marble slab and knead with
the hands. The fondant may be put
away in a covered bowl until ready
to use.
Divide fondant andt flavor par
with vanilla. Make into small balls
and put between halves of English
walnuts.
Flavor some of the fondant with
oil of Wintergreen and make into
wafers.
Chop nuts and dates and add to
vanilla-flavored fondant. Make into
a roll about an inch in diameter and
slice in quarter-inch slices.
Additional recipes for Christmas
candies will be explained by “Sister
