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.

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.

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. , Playing Santa Claus Prominent Dublin Man Receives Severe Burns DUBLIN, Ga.. Dec. 18. Milo Smith, one of the most highly es teemed young men of the city, was painfully burned Friday afternoon while playing Santa Claus for the Sunbeams of the First Baptist, church 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 eral days. 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.

A large telephone company is said to be considering her invention most seriously, though it is whisper ed that it is a bit too “revolution ary.” Sweep of Invention “In the near future the world will see a great sweep of invention in all fields,” she prophesies. “Women no longer find a home the only answer to the question ’ Vhat shall I do with my energies?’ They have now office and trades and the widest pos sible liberties in nearly all branches of business, side by side with men. “She is still growing and branch ing out, and still she finds herself unsat’ated, knowing that somewhere in her is the answer to all necessi ties of human existence.” 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 car while they entered They madp Mr. and Mrs. Cone hold their hands, up, while they plundered ths cash register.

I 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. Daylight Bandits Get $12,000 in Gotham NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—While the police department was announcing adoption of two reorganization steps to block New York’s crime wave, ban dits held up two jewelers’ messen gers in Brooklyn today, stealing $lO,- 000 worth of gems and a $2,000 pay roll. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children nUse for over 30 Years Always bears Signature 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.
