WOman's Duty to Herself.

keep in good health. No one can rea-
sonably be expected to maintain a

women are subject and fortunately
are easily cured. Mrs. H. C. Getty,
Indiana, Pa, writes: ':Last summer
I was advised. by a friend to try
Chamberlain Tablets for INDIGESTION
and constipation. This medicine not
only cured me of these disorders, but
toned up my whole system so that
my health has been better than. for
years since taking them" For sale

Attacks Friends of
Speer in Congress

MACON GA, March S1.-The pos
sibility that Judge Emory Speer may
escape Impeachment, or may be re
tired, has so aroused Colonel W. A.
Huff the aged antagonist of the
judge, that he has written a card TO
the newspapers bitterly eXcoriating
the Georgia Congressional delegation
and reiterating the opinion for tine
expression of which in a previous
communication he was adjudged in
contempt of court.
Colonel Huff has risen from a three
months sick bed to say what he
thinks about the retirement PROPOSE
ton, with particular reference to the
Georgia congressman who originated
or Endorsed the plan. He says that he
has heard some of the congressman
now friendly to Judge Speers curse
and abuse the judge time and again.

bition of human selhshness and in
gratitude in the history of American
politics, Champ Clark was robbed OF
the nomination at Baltimore and
prevented from becoming President.
Who can imagine the calm and
powerful floor leader of the majority
the admired and trusted Underwood,
ever seeking and receiving votes upon
platform, then repudiating that
platform and asking Congress to Join
with him in a policy of abject sur

Oscar Underwood, more than any
other two living men, who made pos
sible the great Democratic victory at

GALL|NGER ATTACKS
SHIP REGISTRY BILL
Opposition to Conference Report
Develops When Attempt Is
Made to Obtain Vote.

Led by Senator Gallinger. fierce at
tack upon the conference report on the
war emergency ship registry bill was
made in the Senate this afternoon when
Senator O'Gorman attempted to obtain
a vote. Gallinger read kilograms and
letters from ship owners stating that
there were now many idle ships want
ing cargoes in virtually every port, par
ticularly along the aCific coast. He
quoted Capt Robert Dollar to the effect
that there were thirty coastwise ships
at present in San Francisco harbor
alone.
Senators Borah. Chamberlain. and
Jones suggested that ii would he more
enterprising for these ship owners To
get in touch with the shippers. who
were crying for a bottom 10 transport
their products than to send in petitions.
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey at
tackled the provision admitting foreign
built ships. registered under the Ameri-
can flag, to the coastwise trade. He
made a plea for the American sailors
and shipbuilders.
His colleague, Senator Hughes, ask
ed him if his figures regarding the ton
mage of American ships had not peeh
given him by the New York Shipbuild-
ing Company. MARITIME Indignantly de-
nicd this hut refused to give the name
of his informant. He had just put in
a Geographic protest from that ship
building company.
Hughes then called attention to the
fact that this company was now build
ing two cruisers for foreign govern
ments on which it had been able to
make the cheapest bid in competition
with the entire world
SO you see the American workman
does not need any protection. He Is
a bile TO hold his own against the world,
said Hughes.

Expect Big Benefit
From Registry Bill

Benefits expected for the American
farmers and manufacturers from the
! passage of the pending ship registry
bill were described for The Times today
! 10y the men who led the fight for the
passage of the bill in the two houses
OF Congress, Senator OGOrman. in the
Senate. and Congressman Underwood. in
the House.
This bill will relieve an emergency.
the dangers of which have scarcely
been realized" said Senator O'Gorman.
Il am not positive that it will prove a
panacea for all the ills of the trans
Atlantic commerce situation. as l am
not sure that enough ships will be at
tracted to the American flag. even I'M
der the favorable conditions created
by this bill
But at least in doing this, We will
have done an obvious thing which we
ought to have done, and which will GER
tainly provide small fleet, at least, of
vessels to carry our crops and manufac-
tured products abroad, and bring our
American refugees home.
Il do not share the fear of some that
this act Will involve us in the Euro
pean conflict
1t is futile TO say that nothing will
be accomplished by this BILL" said Rep
resentative Underwood Every bit OF
tonnage that We bring to the American
nag will help in this emergency
AS to the ships which would almost
