SENATORS SCORE
CORTELYOU FOR
PANAMA BOND SALE

The Senate INDUCED today in a brief
but animated discussion of the policy
of the Treasury Department in its re-
ceit currency relief measure Senator
Culberson started the trouble BY de-
handing to know when the report
from the Secretary OF the Treasury on
this subject was to be presented Sena-
tor AIdrich, OF the Finance Committee,
sa d he was assured they would be pre-
sea ted Wednesday.
Senator Tillman then got into the
game by having read a letter from q
Delaware man who said he had offered
lO4 for Panama Canal bonds and had
been awarded none, while millions Of
them were sold at I02h 10 bankers. The
Delaware man wanted to know. and
Senator Tnlman did. too. why the Gov
eminent should favor the bankers as
against individual buyers 10 this e1-
tent The Senator also read a letter
from Murphy Brothers, Of Augusta, Ga,
attacking the method Of distributing
these bonds and asking How IS this
for a graft2'
Senator Tmman declared the whole
series OF transactions would be made
the subject Of a discussion.
Senator Bailey called attention 10 the
fact that a suit had been started by
one bidder to determine whether the
Secretary had the right TO reject arbi-
trariIy the bids OF individuals, in order
that the bonds might be given to bank
ers when the individual bids werO
higher.
The Senator pointed out that the very
purpose of the sale was supposed 20
bring money out or hiding, but instead
OF selling the bonds 20 individuals they
l.ere given TO banks. and the money
paid for them promptly redepOsited In
the banks This process would not
bring a dollar out of hiding but the
Senator calculated that II gave pront
at the rate OF 30 per cent to the for
tunate bank.

Don't Fold Your Arms.

BY folding your arms you pull the
shoulders forward, fiatten the chest
and impair deep breathing. Folding
the arms across the chest so flattens
1t down that 1t requires a conscious
effort to keep the chest in whai
should be its natural position. Al
soon as you forget yourself down
drops the chest.
We cannot see ourselves as Others
see us. If we could many of us
would be ashamed of our shapes. The
position you hold your body in most
of the time soon becomes its natural
position. Continuously folding your
arms across the chest will develop q
fat chest and a rounded back.
Here are four other hints which
should be made habits: Keep the
back of the neck close to the back OF
the collar at all possible times. Al
ways carry the chest farther to the
front than any other part of the an.
terror body. Draw the abdomen in
and up hundred times each day.
Take dozen deep, slow breaths 6
dozen times each day.-Family Doc

The well-known explanation that
The STIFFNESS of the atmosphere in a
church is the cause of sleepiness in

manifest that the congregation o.

before the sermon began. Now, it is
notorious that the sleeping is done

ion is that the auditor unconsciously

,entrating the gaze for long period
IN single object, whether the counte-
nance of the preacher or the pulpit
