PERKINS VICTOR ON
CAMPAIGN GIFTS
Steel Probers Decide Not to Press
Questions-Afraid TO Exceed
Powers.

Washington. = George ". Per
kins, director Of the United States
Steel corporation and former partner
in }, Pierpont Morgan & Co, was not
cited for contempt before the bar of
the house by the house committee of
inquiry into the affairs Of the steel
corporation. Neither will he be.
The committee decided at a turbu-
lent executive session not to press
questions relating to Mr.. Perkins per-
sonal campaign contributions. The
inquiry into gifts of the New York
Life Insurance company and the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, it was
said, was left in allegiance.
The committees decision not to
press the inquiry into campaign con-
tributions was based on the conclu-
sion that the house resolution did not
give authority to go into this sub
tect. It was said that Representative
Littleton Of New York insisted that
the committee would transcend its
power.
Several members of the committee
asserted that Mr.. Perkins had been
freed only from answering the ques-
tons regarding his personal contribu-
lions and that the matter OF the
United States Steel corporation and
the New York Life Insurance com
pany campaign gift had not been de-
cided finally.

HEhVv CROP LOSSES
SAYS FEDERAL REPORT
Corn Yield of Country Shrinks Rp.
proximately Third of Billion
Bushels in Month.

Washington.-The greatest decline
IN the condition Of crops during a
single month since 1904 general
slump throughout the country, due TO
drought and intense heats indicat-
ed in the government crop report for
August, published by the department
Of agriculture.
The report presents estimates OF
the damage done to all crops during
July. 1t is the most discouraging as
to general conditions that the depart
ment has issued for any single month
in a decade It indicates a yield per
acre smaller than in any year during
the ten-year period.
At the same time, it estimates the
total production will be exceeded in
only five years in the history of the
country.
An analysis Of the report and com
parsons with those of previous years
show that there probably never has
been a month in the history Of crop
reporting when the losses during any
one month in all crops have been as
great as during July. Until the latter
part Of the month the drought over
the great part Of the corn belt was
unbroken, while intense heat added
greatly to the damage.
The promise of the corn crop is cut
down 335, 100000 bushels, according
to the report. The Estimated crop on
August 1 was 2,62O,221, 400 bushels,
This compares with promise on July
1 of 1856 100000 bushels and final
yield last year Of 1926, 96S,0OO bush
els
The spring wheat yield is brought
down from 245,000,O00 bushels to an
indicated crop Of only 209, SIS, 900
bushels. There was a serious loss in
condition of the oats crop, the sug-
gested yiesd being 100000 bushels,
or 800, 100000 bushels less than the
big crop Of last year.
In addition to the damage from heat
and drought the northwestern spring
wheat country suffered from black
rust and blight
Rye and barley were also hard hit,
the indicated yield of rye being 30
$4,000 bushels, against 33,O39,000
bushels last year, and of barley, 1885,,
100000 bushels, against 100000
bushels in 1910.

London. = London faces one of the

due to the strike of dock and railway

Food prices have jumped from so to

The military forces in the barracks
near London have been augmented

The gravity of the situation was
shown in the house of commons when
Winston Churchill, the home secre-
tary, declared that If the Strike was
not settled at once it would be neces-
sary for the government to take a
hand in queIling the disturbances and
supplying food.
Not only is the strike unsettled, but
it is spreading rapidly. The railway
and car men of the Great Western,
the Great Central and the Southeast

revolt, and hundreds of workmen in
other sections are expected to go out.
The situation in Liverpool is fully as

ADD TO OCCASIONS GAIETY
Queer Wedding Equipaqes That Have
Figured in Ancient and Mod
esn Times.

Uniqueness in wedding conTeyances
is little difficult to attain, but prob
ably certain young lady in Surrey,
butcher, came as near to its attain
ment as anybody we have heard of
lately, says London Tit-Bits. The car
rage in which the lady was taken to
church was driven by a staIwart
butcher, and two other knights of the
AcleaVer stood behind as footmen. But
this was by no means all, for the lady
was escorted from her carriage to the
church and down the aisle by a pro-
icession Of butchers boys, looking spic
and span in white overaIls and aprons.

A circus equestrienne had very

Whether their married life has been
as triumphant as their wedding pro
cession history does not relate, but we
may hope so.
Six artillery horses, driven by non
commissioned officers in uniform,
formed a bridal team at a Brighton
wedding and a very smart turnout it
was. 1t was not so commodious, how
ever, as the gayly decorated tram

Several Good Tooth Washes.

Peroxide Of hydrogen is a good anti
septic tooth mouth wash and it also
helps to whiten yellow teeth. Di-
luted alcohol is also refreshing and
powdered pumice stone used once in

stains. An OCCASIONAL cleansing of the
teeth with salt is beneficial. The gums

just as you would when putting on a

Slip the ribbon in this as through a.

This plan will especially appeal to
the very careful women, who like their

it makes a charming change from the

After days and days of discussion,

The debate Immediately preceding

to vote with the partisans of Lord

has been one Of the most inveterate

RIBBON rs A FRIEND
IAN BE USED TO GIVE JUST THE
NEEDED TOUCH.
Little Thought and Time Spent on Ad-
justment Means Much-PossiblIi-
ties for Artistic Effect Almost
Without Number.

Knowing how to tie a bow or how
to arrange folded ribbon artisticaIly is
an accomplishment comparatively
few women possess.
Deft fingers and an artists eye are
essential in this work, but with prac-
tice most women will be able to gain
good results.
To the woman who is employed, rib
bon is a tried ana true friend. Times
without number it can be used to add
just the needed touch to a business
suit or TO freshen a gown that has
begun to show the marks of wear.
A fresh bow on the hat you have
been wearing all summer will fix that
so you can finish out the season with
out the expense of new one.
With two yards of soft, wide ribbon
make yourself one of the fashionable
new glrdles for your white frock.
Measure off a length to encircle the
waist and cut it straight at the ends.
Fold it lengthwise in three to form
narrow plaits and bone it with feath-
erbone four inches on either side OF
the center of the front and the same
distance from the center back, with
bone each side of the lap at the back
to hold it in shape and for a founda-
ton for the hooks and eyes. Double
the ends over these bones and sew
them fast.
Make a broad obi bow for the back
by folding the ribbon over with the
two edges meeting in the center.
Basic these down firmly and plat in
the center the same width as the cir
die. Fold bit of ribbon over the
center for a loop and sew it fast to
the girdle.
After the girdle is in place, pin the
top of the wide loops to the bodice of
your gown, well up on the back, about
the base of your shoulder blade. By
this pretty oriental effect is given to
the otherwise plain frock
Four long loops and two short loops
of ribbon, held in place with a twist
ed knot, make an artistic bow for a
large hat. Make the long loops nine
inches doubled and the short ones six
inches.
Wire the longer loops with fiat rib
bon wire, caught on the inside with
long stitch, so they will keep in
place. Around the crown of your hat
put a folded band of the same ribbon
and sew the bow to the front, with
the knot exactly in the center Tack
the loops in place and your hat is
ready to wear.
A fat pump bow of velvet ribbon,
or a bow of soft satin ribbon with two
loops and two ends, makes a pretty
finish for the linen collar or the
Dutch collar OF lace.
Narrow ribbon made into a rosette
bow with long ends, having the ribbon
sewed in tiny loops Stimulating bios

one would suppose people would be

which Turk in SO many corners. Usu-

matches, the so-called vestas, which
used to be very popular, especially
with mice, who carried them to their
nests for consumption, with tragic re-

ing the fall season.
The popularity of the panel back

give the desired fullness.
The raised waistline with an inside
belt to keep it firmly in place is fea-

Separate skirts are strictly tailored.
