siasm was evinced. and has increased

Girl Scout organization.
Twelve members of the troop. and six

pared their first out-of-door meals.

The scouts do not always confine their
pursuit of relaxation to things of the
land, for they are constantly practicing
the fine points of sailing. canoeing,
rowing, and swimming. Several meet
ings and hikes constitute the program
for the current week.

Amendment by Senator SauIs-
bury Forces Adjournment for
Lack of Quorum.

Passage of the ship registry bill,
which is urgently needed at this time
in order to facilitate the transportation
of american products to the European
market. was temporarily blocked in the
Senate last evening by two Democratic
Senators. Salisbury of Delaware, and
Pomerene of Ohio.
The result was that the Senate ad-
journed over until Tuesday. 1t is hoped
its passage can be accomplished then.
The bill was about to be put on pas
sage when Senator Salisbury. who had
an amendment which had been defeated
in Committee of the Whole. brought It
up in the Senate and demanded a roll
call His demand was not Feconded,
and Senator Pomerene, amid the pro-
tests of colleagues, made a point Of no
quorum.
II was found impossible to get a
quorum. as 1t was after o'clock. and
on motion of Senator O'Gorman ad-
lournment was taken.
All amendments were voted down but
two, one by Senator Jones, permitting
foreign built ships admitted to regis
try under the act to be used in trade
between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
and another by Senator Burton. pro
vidiDg that any vessel chartered by the
American Red Cross for relief purposes
in the war should be admitted to Ameri-
can registry
Senator Saulsbury's amendment would
require that at least 81 per cent of for
built ships admitted TO American
registry be owned by Americans,

atOr Newlands for the purchase or con-
struCt,On by the Government Of thirty

a new aerial, twice the height Of the
one found wanting, has been devised
and is now in operation with Scout

that with the aid of the newly construct

IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES

| Depressed At the c.ose of last week
to q point that approached panic. Amer
| lean business. through the united efforts
OF business men and national lawmak-
ers, has been raised now to a pitch
where faith, at least. has been restored
and all save few doIbting Thomases
are convinced that there will be Meth
er financial crisis nor undue commercial
stringenCy in the United States.
With political lines practically wiped
out. the Administration. backed by the
great bankers Of tie nation. quickly
amended its financial laws in a man
ner that would permit practically lin
itlcss amount of emergency currency to
be put into circulation and thus stayed
Strirgency with its possible entailed
bank runs and failures.
Attracted by visions of rich profits
| arising from war prices for foodstuffs
IN Europe, farmers poured their bumper
wheat crop and other supplies into the
Atlantic port cities only to find that
commercial intercourse with the coun-
tries across the sea had come TO a
| standstill. this nation being without a
| merchant marine.
Realizing the embarrassment of the
| situation, the lawmakers turned them
| selves to the enactment of further
remedial legislation and are now at
| tempting 20 attract bottoms to fly the
Stars and Stripes through an amend

laws. Even should this effort fail to
build up sufficient merchant fleet 10

sell. it is generally believed that the
| congestion of supplies in the seaport
| cities will be only temporary. since the
| warning nations must have fool in or

already attempting; to insure the trans

Wheat and Cotton Stiten.
Stunned by the first impression Of the
| limited transportation facilities. wheat
! broke sharply. The clearing of the at
! mosphere, however, with its brighter
prospects for commercial activity with
Europe has caused wheat prices to
stiffen daily. Cotton suffered for SINH
lar reasons. but the prevailing belief
today among cotton brokers is that the
European demand for cotton will be
above normal. while this country will
consume its usual supply. AS a conse-
Quence. New York banks stand ready
to lend the cotton growers of the South
s40o, 0o0. 900 to protect the cotton crop.
The war. 1t is admitted generally, will
open to America new markets, which
even though they may not be dealt with
extensively during the war, will furnish
a heavy demand at the conclusion of
hostilities. South America has depend
ed almost entirely upon Great Britain.
Germany, and France for many of its
necessities. These three great sources
of supply are now cut of, and at the
| end Of their struggle will be stripped
bare through home consumption.
Furthermore, II the great combat con-
