FEEDING PROBLEMS
CmOMERS
NATCHEZ, Miss., May 4.—The
task of feeding thousands of Missis
sippi flood victims, who are unable
to, or refuse to, leave their partly
inundated homes, was today the
chief problem confronting relief
workers in this section.
Several thousand persons are now
living on rafts, scaffolds, small
boats,, in gins and barns in the
flooded districts, Recording to re
ports here. Relief organizations are
providing food and clothing for only
those refugees at recognized camps:
' Natchez, Harrisonburg and Rhine
hart. Additional money is needed, it
’ was declared, to alleviate the serious
condition said to exist among vic
, tims not at these camps.
* The congressional committee in
: '••stigating the flood conditions of
.’ the lower Mississippi valley were ex
'-pected here this afternoon from
Vicksburg. The legislators were to
inspect the crevasse near Ferriday,
La., this morning. Tonight they are
to depart for Baton Rouge, La., by
boat.
The crevasse near Ferriday is
widening slowly, reports here said
today. It is now more than half a
mile wide, and the southern end is
said to be crumbling. .
Eack waters from the Red river
basin and waters from the Ferriday
break are reported to have joined
and to have invaded rich farm lands
at a distance of more than fifty
miles from the Mississippi.
Although the waters in the flooded
districts are reported slowly rising,
the river was practically unchanged
,today.
■* Food conditions at the relief camps
Were improved with the receipt of
additional supplies from nearby cit
ies
An irregular mail service has been
established in this section by means
of motor boats. In this manner
marooned persons who refuse to
leave their homes, are receiving food
supplies by parcel post from their
friends in the highland towns.
Telephone service is being repair
ed in many localities, and the entire
section is becoming more adjusted
to the flood conditions, which, ac
cording to levee authorities, will last
to some extent many weeks.
The inability of farmers through
out the section to plant crops this
year because of the inundation of
their lands, created fear among au
■thorities of labor disintegration. This
Would mean economic ruin for the
section, it was feared, and plans are
being made to obtain work in this
section for those forced to leave
their farms.

SIPPI, Vicksburg, Miss., May 4.--(By
the Associated Press).—After a
twenty-five mile inland trip through
backwater in the inundated section
pf the Yazoo basin north of Vicks
burg, members of the congressional
delegation viewing the Mississippi
river flood were back on the swollen
waterway today for a daylight run
to Natchez and the Weecama cre

south of the Arkansas state line.
In addition, water continues to

PEGGY JOYCE SAYS SHE
IS THROUGH WITH MEN
‘I Liked to Play With Them
and Have Them Chase
Me,” She Says—Plans to
Go Into the Movies
PARIS, May 4.—“1 liked to pull
the strings. I liked to play with
all of them. Now I’m through with
men.”
It was midnight in Peggy Hop
kins Joyce’s boudoir. The most
famous vamp of modern times, for
whose love two men are said to
have killed themselves, who has
been four times married and as
many times divorced, and who has
run through fortunes totalling $3,-
000,000 in twelve years, laid bare
her soul.
She wept because she couldn’t tell
the secret of her fated fascination.
“I liked their admiration,” Peggy
cried. “It was life to me.”
Propped up in a bed frothy with
lace and silks, the former show girl,
divorced wife of Stanley Joyce,
drank beer and brandy "by the doc
tor’s orders to strengthen my
nerves,” and smoked incessantly as
she talked of her conquests of men
and their many tragic endings.
May Act With Dempsey
Word was received from Berlin
that Jack Dempsey, who is reported
to be interested in a film with
Peggy, is returning to meet her in
Paris, and that they may appear to
gether in a picture to be made in
America. ,
“I don’t know why men run after
me,” the girl who has had the
wealthiest and most influential men
of four continents at her feet, said,
in answer to a question.
“I cannot tell you the secret of
my fascination.
“Never, no never, did I deliberate
ly try to lure them into my net.
I never meant to ruin their lives.”
The latest of Peggy's victims, ac
cording to her claim, is young Wil
liam Errazuriz, Chilean youth, who
shot himself in the room next to her
suite on Sunday, because, according
to Peggy, she refused to marry him.
The blow has changed her life,
the “million dollar siren” declared.
“I’ve learned that I loved Billy,”
she said, speaking of the Chilean
youth. “And now it’s too late. I
loved him but I played with him.
“I dangled him on a string, just
as I did many others. Oh, why did
I do it?
In Love With Life
“I’m young. I’m in love with
life. I ought to have been con
tented with the man I loved, and
who loved me to distraction. But
that’s the way of the game. Y6u
play with them all, and then you
don’t know where to stop. I loved
the chase, to have them pursue me.
I made Billy dance the same tune
as the rest, and now he’s dead.”
Peggy sat up in her luxurious
bed, a fetching figure despite her
recent bereavement, and called her
maid to bring in her two tiny
poms. Then she made them romp
and do tricks on the lace coverlet,
showed how one liked cigarette
smoke, and the other “just loved
black coffee with a little brandy in
it.”
“See,” she cried gayly, “they are
just like the men who love me.
They do their tricks because I ap
plaud them. They just ask my ad
miration.
“I,” she thrust out her beautiful
arms in a descriptive gesture, “in
sist that they worship me.”
“I’ve learned my lesson,” she de
clared not too emphatically, as the
maid came in again to tuck her in
for the night, and the interview
closed.
“I’m through playing with men.
My philosophy of lite is changed.
I’m going back to America, and go
into the movies.”

PARSONS, Kans., May 4.—Two
inmates of the state hospital here
were killed and another probably
fatally injured by C. G. Bu.'gan, CO,
an inmate, who ran amuck, wield
ing a lead pipe, on Wednesday, hos
pital authorities announced.
All victims were killed or injured

lanta.
Answer. 1. Yes. 2. Variocoup
ler is more compact than a loose
coupler, but is not needed to hear
WSB. 3. There is little difference
between them electrically. 4. You

George Finley, 257 Vine street, At

Answer: Crystal detector sets com

$12.50 to SSO. If you build a crystal
detector set yourself, it should not
cost you more than $5 if you follow
instructions printed recently in this
department. There is no charge for

I Committee Urges
Important Changes
In Radio Regulations
WASHINGTON, May 4.—More
short wave bands for broadcasting,
nominal fees for licenses, and pro
vision for permits before erection of
transmitting stations are among the
changes incorporated in its final re
port by the government conference
on radio telephony. All that is
needed now to place the recommen
dations of the conference‘into effect
is congressional action to give the
necessary authority to Secretary of
Commerce Hoover. A bill is about
to be introduced in congress to re
vise the radio communication laws
More liberal provisions for broad
casting on short wave lengths are
provided in the report, which gives
broadcasting by the federal and state
governments and public institutions
exclusive rights to the wave lengths
from 485 to 495 meters. This is es
sentially the same wave used for
government weather, crop and mar
ket’ reports now. Those who live
away from the seacoast will have a
larger variety of radio waves to
utilize under the recommendations.
The band from 285 to 485 meters is
assigned to private and toll broad
casting, but the zones from 285 tc
315 and from 425 to 475 meters will
not be used in regions near the coast
because of the chance of interfer
ence with marine radio communica
tion. For similar reasons the ex
perts have limited government and
public broadcasting on 650 to 700
meters to 400 or more miles from
the seacoast, and similar broadcast
ing on 700 to 750 meters must not
be done nearer to the coast than
200 miles.
By the establishment of a new
band of wave lengths from 100 to
150 meters for the exclusive use of
private and toll ln’oadcasting, the
experts foresee the establishment of
short range broadcasting. It is ex
pected that this will be a develop
ment of the future and that due to
the fact that few radio receiving
sets as they are now made can re
ceive radio waves shorter in length
than 200 meters, it will be possible
to establish radio entertainment
service on the basis of renting re
ceiving sets adjusted to a particular
wave length. The use of shorter
wave lengths will introduce new
problems into radio apparatus
manufacturing and will also allow
the establishment of a large number
of low-power, short wave length
transmitting stations in a small
area. Each city will be able to have
its own transmitting station of this
character.
Reasonable fees that will help to
pay the increased cost of radio reg
ulation are proposed to congrc j,
and the conferees also recommended
that the regulation provide permits
before a transmitting station is
erected rather than after it is
erected and before it begins to oper
ate as is now the case.
An advisory committee of twelve
experts, half from outside the gov
ernment, to be appointed by the
president is recommended as an aid
to the secretary of commerce in the
administration of the new radio reg
ulations.

OS MEYER
WASHINGTON, May 4 —Ameri
can financial conceptions need re
vision to provide longer term financ
ing for agriculture, Eugene Meyer,
Jr., managing director of the war
finance corporation, declared before
the house banking and currency
committee, which is conducting hear
ings on pending agricultural relief
legislation.
“Our fundamental financial con
ceptions and attitudes are based
upon the imported English and con
tinental conceptions of what const!
tutes soundness in banking,” said
Mr. Meyer. “But the basic business
of America is the production and
distribution of agricultural commodi
ties, and sixty or ninety-day financ
ing does not adequately meet the
marketing needs of the producer.”
“I maintain, that the six and nine
month loans onv wheat and cotton,
made by the war finance corpora
tion to co-operative marketing or
ganizations, art as liquid, from the
point of view of security as the
ninety-day paper representing ad
vances to merchants and manufac
turers.” he continued.
“Long-time paper may be more
liquid as to security than short-time
paper. It may not be as well adapt
ed as an investment for all of a
bank’s funds, representing deposits
payable on demand, but the experi
ence of the war finance corporation
demonstrates that, when adequate
financing for the time needed is
provided, staple agricultural com
modities are liquidated in an order
ly way, and, in fact, the liquid qual
ity of the security is enhanced by
a more gradual marketing process.
“The self-liquidating quality of pa
per depends upon the orderly mar
keting of the commodities underly
ing it far more than upon the dura
tion written on its face.”
The federal reserve system, Mr.
Meyer declared, has partially recog
nized the need for longer term fi
nancing for the agricultural turn
over, but the financial system as a
whole has not adequately recognized
the necessity of co-relating agricul
tural financing with the normal
processes of production and con
sumption .
All-China Christian
Conference Seeks to
Unify Chinese Church
BY GRAHAM TAYLOR
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News—Copyright. 1922.)
SHANGHAI, May 4.—More than
1,000 delegates, about one-half of
them Chinese, representing 130 re
ligious bodies, and upwards of 750,-
000 adherents, have assembled for
the opening of the all-China Chris
tian conference.
A monumental volume was pre
sented surveying Chinese social con
ditions and the Christian occupation
of China’s educational, medical and
evangelistic fields.
The conference seeks spiritual and
co-operative unity, despite the out
break in the north of the war for
political supremacy between dicta
tors at the head of large bodies of
mercenary troops.
The conference is epoch-making
and the promoting of the gradual
transference of responsibility to the
self-governing, unified Chinese
church is signalized by the unani
mous first election of Chinese offi
cers.
Members of the national council
and foreign and native missionaries
welcomed the new birth of Christi
anity in There were greet
ings by the American consul gen
eral and by high Chinese national
officials.

Father’s Nightshirt
Is Coming Back Into
Vogue, Stylists Decree
CHICAGO, May 4. —Father's night
shirt —perhaps even the fuzzy one
with the pink stripes and the split
at each side of the tail —is coming
back, and along with it suspenders,
sleeve-holders and rubbers, solid
squaretoed, conspicuous rubbers.
This forecast of an age of innocence
in men’s fashions for the coming
year was hurled today by the United
National Clothiers, holding its six
teenth semi-annual cohvention here.
Just when the old night garment
had been all but routed by the roug
ish pajama and was relegated to the
shelf with such vanishing institu
tions as “my last quart,” came the
i - enaissance. It is said father would
hardly recognize the thing, for it is
all dolled up. They call it the trou
serless pajama.” It conies double
breasted all the way down to the
shins—the coat shirt idea carried
further. It has double rows of frog
fasteners, is called especially smart
in confused shades of heliotrope, ele
phant’s breath, gray or pale lemon
and frequently has a shawlish collar
of contrasting color and raglan
sleeves.
As to the sleeve supporters and
galluses, both were displayed by the
convening clothiers in soft tones of
pink, blue and lavender. The up
to-the-minute dresser is expected to
understand, of course, that either
sleeve holders or suspenders should
match the garter and that the
Beaux Hrummel must have sleeve
holders and suspenders to match
each shirt.

FAVORED UNTIL 1323
■ i
WASHINGTON, May 4 The fi
nancial situation is “rapdily growing
better,” and is now “well on the w - ay
to normal,” particularly as it relates
to the agricultural industry. Secre
tary Mellon'told the house banking
and currency commitfee today.
Secretary Mellon appeared before
the committee to urge passage of
the bill extending for another year
to June 30, 1923, the war finance cor
poration, which makes loans to farm
ers and live stock producers.
The committee ordered the bill fa
vorably reported, although amending
it to include several of the recom
mendations recently made by the cor
poration.
As a-definite indication that the
financial situation is improving, Mr.
Mellon pointed to the great falling off
in recent months in applications for
loans from the war finance corpora
tion. The number of 'applications
coming in now, he said, is only about
95 per cent of what it was in Jan
uary, February and March. The war
finance corporation now is financing

; declared that congress would do a
l "very wise thing” if it would work
out sonje system, to take effect after
the war finance corporation quits
functioning, whereby the govern
ment can make loans to farmers on
terms of from six months to three
years.
Answering a query, Mr. Mellon
again denied the charge recently

millions worth” of government bonds
have been duplicated.
“All such reports are absolutely
without foundation,” he declared.
Fee System May Go
In Muscogee County
COLUMBUS, Ga., May 4.—The fee
system of compensating .officers in
Muscogee county may be abolished
without a fight when the legisla
ture meets the last of next month.
A compromise proposal is under con
sideration here, which, if adopted,
will eliminate opposition, and the
five county officers—the sheriff, the
ordinary, the clerk, the tax receiver
and collector—now under fees, will
go on a salary basis.
The compromise plan calls for the
naming of a local board to be made
up of one representative from each
of the five offices and the three
members of the county commission,
which is to fix adequate salaries for
each of the offices involved. Al
ready the plan is approved by one
or two of the county fee officers,
and it is believed that all will agree
to the plan.
The recent county grand jury rec
ommended the abolishment of the
fee system, and the sentiment for a
change here is quite strong.

Calomel salivation is horrible. It
swells the tongue, loosens the teeth
and starts rheumatism. There’s no
reason why a person should take
sickening, salivating calomel when a
f-sw cents buys a large bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone —a perfect substi
tute f or calomel. It is a pleasant
vegetable liquid which will start
your liver just as surely as calomel,
but it doesn’t make you sick and
can not salivate.
Calomel is a dangerous drug, be
sides it may make you feel weak,
sicktand nauseated tomorrow. Don’t
lose a day’s work. Take a spoonful
of Dodson’s Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No.
salts necessary. Your druggist says' '
it you don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone
acts better than treacherous calo
mel your money is waiting for yon.
