WITH HIS RESOLUTION
Investigating Committee Will

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Sobere
by the embarrassment of Saturday
all-night session, congress adjusted
its differences today and invited Pres

4:30 this afternoon wrote Fins

session of the sgd congress.
The end was marked by return

At the end of a three days fight
in which La Follette's threat of a
filibuster hung over the senate TO
force consideration, that body adopted
today the Penrose resolution calling
for an investigation of campaign con-
tributions of John d. Archbold, George

the committee will probably begin ita
investigation at the end of Sepsem-
Der.
All Ended in Harmony
The last bill signed was one dis
posing of lands in the Colville Indian
reservation. In the house, in marked
contrast to the senate, an outburst of
applause greeted Speaker Clark's an
nouncement Of adjournment. The
floor Immediately became an ami
mated scene. Old-time political foes
buried their differences in leave TAX

the galleries to join their husbands

WAR ON WHITE PLAGUE.

Washington, May 30.-Substantial
progress in the nationwide warfare
on the white plague has been made in
the last year. according to reports to
the convention opened here today by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis.
One of the principal topics before
the meeting is that of the permanent
value of the cure of tuberculosis in
restoring patients to working effici.
ency. It is pointed out in this connec-
ton that even considered in a cold,
blooded and commercial way the war.
fare on tuberculosis is profitable from
a dollars and cents viewpoint.
Prof. Irving Fisher Of Yale has pre-
pared revised figures and statistics as
to the cost of tuberculosis, which
show the tremendous economic loss
from the disease and the value of
sanatorium treatment in offsetting
this loss. Relations that should exist
between public health officers, physi-
clans and laymen in fighting the dread
disease will also be considered.

Washington, May 30.-"The Treat
ment and Care Of Tuberculous Wage
Farmers in Gerany" was the subject
of a paper read by Frederick L. Hoff-
man, an insurance statistician of New
ark, N j., before the Sociological Sec
ton of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, whose meeting opened here to-
day Mr.. Hoffman said. in part:
The treatment and care of tubercu-
lous wage-earners in the German EN-
pire has been a question of serious
government concern for many years.
Since practically the entire wage-earn-
ing population is subject to the COM
pulsory invalidity insurance laws, the
prevention of invalidity or disability
resulting from disease is obviously of
the utmost economic Importance. I'm
der the law of 1899 the invalidity in
surance institutions are authorized to
undertake the treatment and care of
invalid members, provided there
is reasonable assurance that the
patients wage-earning capacity will
be restored and preserved for reas-
enable period of time. Realizing the
inadequacy of existing institutions or
methods and means for the treatment
of invalid members, particularly those
suffering from tuberculosis of the
lungs, the insurance institutions es-
tablished public sanatoria at their own
expense, or furnished funds at reason
able rates of interest, for the estab-
lishment of such institutions by mu-
inequalities or larger administrative
communities. On account of the fact
that tuberculosis of the lungs is one
of the chief causes of physical impair
ment, with resulting loss of earning

PATHFlNDERS FOR OCEAN

east from that city, in the interests of
the proposed Ocean to Ocean highway.
The results obtained will be of i'm.

not only in pathfinding, but fully as

1t would be hard to think of any
more rigorous try out for tires than a
trip of this character There are not
only the bookkeeping qualities to be
considered, but the sand, rock and

nothing but supremest material and
