Latest German Fad.

Germany's latest fad seems to be
the "Undosabad," destroyed by Ber'
lin engineer, and claimed to be the
first transportable covered swimming
bath which affords practical substi.
tute for the usual expensive buildings.
The swimming basin Is inexpensive
and may be easily transported to any
convenient location. The water sup
ply may be obtained from lake, riv-
er, springs, or from the town water
works, as the use Of the ultra mini.
mics the amount Of fresh water nec-
essary and so reduces the number of
germs that the water Is purer than
when freshly introduced. The bath Is
sheltered by a canvas roof and fur
nished with motor so that the air
and water can be warmed and the tenn
perature regulated. The motors sur
plus power can also be utilized In gen.
Grating waves Of three feet or less
In height, thus destroying all germs
that remain, and add to the attraction
by Stimulating the ocean.

|0LEO men MAKING
DESPERATE STAND
Lever Bill Defeated In Com
mittee They Plan to Force
Fight to Floor Of House. ,

Washington, Dec. 23.--Packers and
allied interests fighting for reduced tax
on ole~omargarine and other concessions
at the expense. of the dairy interests
are scheming to make one more des-
| perate effort to get the legislation they
want before the Taft administration
| ends. The Lever cleo bill has been
| beaten in the House committee on agrt-
| culture. At the same time the friends
| of the Haugen bill. supported by dairy
interests have been unable to report
It out.
To Beat Haugen Bill.
Seeing they can not win by direc-
| ton, the packers Inc their allies from
| the cotton country in h movement to
| reduce the oleo tax want to transfer
the fight to the floor of the House. For
| this reason they have assented to let
| the Haugen bill come out. The cleo
| men plan If they can get the Haugen
bill to the floor, they will shape
| the legislation to suit themselves.
Supporters of the reduced oleo tax
are anxious to get legislation this win
| ter. The present administration Is
friendly to the packers demands for
| lower cleo tax. Secretary MacVeagh
has persistently supported n move
for lower oleo tax, regardless OF the
wishes Of the butter men. He is from
| Chicago and friendly to the packers,
| who are the chief force back or the
| reduced tax on cleo.
The special interests clamoring aloud
| and gumshoeing in behalf of lower
cleo tax don't know what sort Of a
| secretary of the treasury Wilson will
| have. They may not get a man as
| friendly to them as MacVeagh and
hence their anxiety to hurry legisla-
| ton along.
President Taft shares the MacVeagh
view and would sign a bill.
M~acveaugh and Packers.
Reports that Secretary MacVeagh
has been comforting with counsel of
the cleo interests in shaping a new
bill, which might be rushed through
in case Of a fight On the floor, are not
verified. But there is no question Of
\ MacVeagh's friendliness to legislation,
which the packers plus southern cot
tonseed oil interests want.
The r~amifications of the lobby kept
here by the packers on the oleo and
other questions In which they are in
terested are astonishing. Stories al
most beyond belief as to where they
lead are told here in inside circles and
If ever an investigation is held there
| will be q lot Of sea importing among
prominent industrials. Dairy interests
believe they are being prosecuted be-
cause MacVeagh is more friendly to
| oleo than to the butter.
From every dairy state complaints
| come Of unwarranted zeal and strict
ness in enforcing the law as to water
contents Of butter, n Of creameries
being mulcted Of heavy penalties. Some
Of them are being put out of business,
while the oleo people are incffectively
dealt with, either through intentional
laxity or because Commissioner Cabell
holds the present law Is impossible of
| enforcement.
Creamery people are convinced they
are systematically given the worst of it
by the treasury and hat the oleo peo-
| ple are favored.
