MEXICAN REVOLUTION
FOUGHT WITH U.S.. GUNS
Charge Made by Representa-
tive Moore, Who Classes
Il as Great Evil.

Declaring that the Mexican revolution
is being fought with United States guns
and accouterments. sold by the War De-
partment as out of date. and branding as
inexcusable the international custom OF
disposing to the highest bidder all dis
carded weapons. Representative ]. Hamp-
ton Moore OF Pennsylvania today intro
duced two resolutions intended to correct
what he considers is a great evil.
The first resolution forbids the sale of
arms Of the United States, and provides
that they shall be broken up when the
has no further use for them
The second resolution directs the Secre-
tary of State to arrange an international
conference to determine the disposition OF
arms condemned as public property.

Premium on Disorder.

Mr. Moore said today that in his opin-
ion the indiscriminate sale Of government
arms was a premium on disorder. He
thought action should be taken at once,
and he saw no more simple solution of
the difficulty than by the enactment Of
legislation forbidding the United States
government to sell discarded arms and
arranging for a conference Of the powers
of the earth with the idea of bringing
about an International agreement on the
subject.
The resolution forbidding the sale OF old
guns and the like by the government has
been referred to the House committee
on military affairs, Of which Representa-
tive Hay of Virginia is chairman. The
other resolution proposing an interna-
tional conference on the subject has been
referred to the committee on foreign al
fairs, Of which Representative Sulzer of
New York is chairman.

Representation Increased.

The task confronting the committee is
Of special importance at the beginning Of
this session, not only because the retire
ment OF some democratic senator's. has
made vacancies on important commit
tees, but also because the democratic
menbership on practically all committees
will be increased. On the finance COM
mittee there are two vacancies. and two
additional democrats will probably be
added. One additional democrat will
probably go on the appropriations COM
mtttee, two more on commerce. two
more on foreign relations, in addition to
the filling of two vancancies; one ad-
ditional on interstate commerce. with the
filing Of one vacancy; one additional on
judiciary, two additional on military af-
fairs, with the filing Of two vacancies:
one additional on privileges and cleo
tons, with the filling Of one vacancy; one
additional on public buildings and
grounds and one additional on territories,
with the filling of two vacancies.

Task of Making Minority Assign.
ments Begun-Work of Selections
Will Probably Take a Week.

Members of the democratic steering
committee Of the Senate today took up
the task Of assigning the forty-two demo-
cratic senators to committees. 1t will
probably be . week before the selections

The task falls to Senators Martin OF
Virginia, Culberson of Texas. Simmons
OF North Carolina, Clarke of Arkansas,
Bankhead Of Alabama. Fletcher Of F1orf-
da, Williams OF Mississippi. Kern OF
Indiana and Hitchcock Of Nebr aska.
Chief interest in the democratic as
signments centers in the berths given
the ''progressives." Although the steer
ing committee includes only two who
voted with the progressives against Sen
ator Martin for minority Ieader-Kern OF
Indiana and Hitchcock OF Nebraska-Sen.
ator Martin has made 1t known that the
committee will give the new and progress
sive senator's fair representation.

crop failures in China that are terribly
real. a friends sister who ID located
in the city Or Marking. China. not far

G., writes that in some provinces Of
the empire there have been complete
crop failures for two seasons owing to
excessive rain and terrible floods. So
awful have the resulting conditions
been that the starving thousands have
not only eaten leaves and bark from
the trees, but men have sold their
wives and children for food. while on

pIHYnRoxYsTEARIc ACID.

Investigations conducted for some
time past BY expert soil chemists in
the department Of agriculture at Wash
ington have brought to light the inter
esting fact that a large influence tend
ing to make soils unproductive T. that
they contain dihydroxystearic acid In
samples of soils taken from unpro-
ductive fields i'm eighteen states this
acid was found. This new theory
seems to make clear why some soils,
apparently fat and rich, do not pro
duce the crops one would expect The
presence Of this acid in the soil Is
supposed to come from mold. to be
connected with soil fungi and to be
the result of improper oxidation. The
difficulty is overcome by draiAage,
which dries the soil and increases the
amount of air 1t contains. and by the
application Of lime. which neutralizes
its acid tendency.

SINKING SMUT.

The plant disease known as sinking
smut is responsible for an annual loss
to the wheat crop of about $11,000,-
000 The disease ruins the wheat for
flourmaking The germs of the smut
are on the grain at the time of SOW
ing, and it develops as the grain
grows and ripens. A simple proven
tive of the trouble is treatment of
the seed with formalin solution,
using one pint Of the chemical to
about forty gallons Of water. The
seed wheat should be spread out to a.
depth of four or five inches on the
barn Oh granary floor, sprinkled with
the solution. then shoveled into q pile
and covered with gunny sacking and
allowed to remain for five or six
hours, at the end OF which time the
fumes will have penetrated the pile
and killed all germs. The same solu-
ton is also used In preventing the de-
velopment of other grain smuts and
scab in potatoes.
