New Haven, Conn, March 6.-Ad-
dresses and discussions on child well
fare and various phases of the rela-
tiops between relation and religion oc
cupied the attention of the delegates
at today's sessions of the Religious
Education Association Convention. 1t
was recommended that child well
fare be the general topic for next

be held at Buffalo, N. Y.
President w. II. p. Faunce of Brown

session. In describing college tests
to aid vocational direction Prof. Jas.
E. Loughy of New York University
said
we are seeking to base vocational
guidance on the ability of the student
to apply his knowledge and on this
to guide him in the selection of his
vocation. The best tests are those
which show individual differences.
Colleges will require on the faculty a
consulting psychologist, who will ad-
wise with students in regard to mental
capacity and ability and who will be
able to indicate voeations for which
the student is most adapted"

Chicago University on THE teaching
of ethics in high schools and colleges
for the purpose of social training, In
the discussion following the latters
address Prof Tufts said that he did
not believe that the religious motive
should be taught in public schools, He
held the opinion that our public
schools system was not intended to
give religious training any more than
many other motives which might be
blamed. The church and its organiza-
tions should care for religious instruc-
tions.

SUBCOMMITTEE
TO MAKE REPORT
ON PENDING BILL
FOR TRADE BODY

Washington, March 6.-Senator New
lands, chairman of the interstate COM
Fnittee with a view to expediting trust
legislation, today appointed a sub
committee to consider and make re-
port on the pending bill to create an
interstate Trade Commission. This
course was determined on after a tent
ative trade commission bill had been
before the committee for more than
a month and had been encompassed
by such a flood of amendments that it
will require much work to whip the
measure into satisfactory shape. On
the SUBJ b-committee are Senators New
lands, Pomerene. Robinson, Salisbury,
Cummings, Brandegee and Townsend.
The appointment of Senator Cum
Minis indicated a healing of the breach
which occurred several weeks ago,
when the Iowa senator left the COM
mittee room after learning that Dem
ocratic members of the committee had
voted down several of his proposed
amendments to the bill.
Before the House judiciary commit
tee today Frederick p. Fish of Bos-
ton, former president of the Ameri-
can Telegraph & Telephone Co., at
tackled the tentative trust bills and
urged that the Sherman law as it
stands is sufficient to meet business
evils of the day.

Unlawful Over-Statement.

Various instances of unlawful over

High officials of the administration

will regain for them the prestige they
had acquired as persons desiring the

ment in their country.
Engand's Influence.
Should the Benton case remain un-
settled IN the event the cause of the
Constitutionalists is triumphant, strong
limitations are heard in official circles
that Great Britain would refuse to
recognize Carranza if he were elect
ed. 1t is also taken for granted by ofa
ficials that Great Britain might in
fiuence other European nations to
withhold recognition until reparation is
made for injury done to foreigners.
Administrations officials, in discussing
that phase of the situation today,
pointed out that on the Benton case
seemed dependent the political fuure
of General Carranza. The point rails
ed by Carranza that he need not sup
ply information to the United States
about British subjects or other for
eigners, is not regarded seriously now,
as there are assurances from some of
Carranzas friends that this attitude
will be modified.

OF Government
ARE REALIZED
BY INCOME TAX

Washington, March 6.-The income
tax law bids fair to live up to the ex-
pectations of the administration by
producing about $50, 100000 annually in
revenue. Although treasury officials
decided tonight not to make pubic
for the present the reports of internal
revenue collectors, it became known
that more than 100000 individuals
made returns in the SO collection dis
tricts. From these individuals. 1t was
understood the government probably
would collect more than S400o0,00o.
1t has been the opinion among offi-
cials that thousands of individuals
would take advantage of the 80 days
extension of time granted in case or
absence and sickness. and they expect
the final figures to show at least $4,000
more reporting than We're given in the
preliminary lists from collectors.
Including the corporation tax as
amended in the present law it was es-
timated that the annual revenue from
this source would amount to about
$S5,000, 900.

the Mexican people and others resi-
dent there, the restoration of peace
and order and the establishment of a
stable government for our sister re-
public"
To speak of the relations of the
United States with Mexico, Senator
Works asserted, was an unpleasant
task.
1T is a dark page in our history, .
he continued. Unless the American
people shall have lost all virility, cour-
age and patriotism, it will be read, in
the years to come, with sorrow and
shame. For three long years Ameri-
can citizens have been murdered, their
wives and daughters outraged. their
homes pillaged and their property de-
stroyed, and this administration has
done nothing more than enter occa-
sional mild protests and submissive
appeals and to whom? To Huerta,
whose government we had refused TO
recognize and who according to our
view, had no power nor authority to
act. To Villa, not recognized as a
belligerent, not even a soldier. but a
brigand and murderer of innocent peo-
pie. To Carranza, a weakling dominat-
ed by Villa and equally without au-
thority What had we to expect from
protests and appeals made to such as
these"
Senator Works outlined the events in
the history of Mexico leading up to
the present difficulties and the refus-
al of this government to recognize
Huerta after the assassination of
Madero. doubtless by Huerta, who
succeeded him. or with his knowledge
and connivance.'

Washington, March 6.-An oid-fash-
ioned partisan debate on one year of
Democratic rule almost completely
side-traclied consideration of the wom-
an suffrage constitutional amendment
in the Senate today. Senator Works
hurled a broadside of criticism at the
administration, while Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, staunchly defended his party's s
legislative career. He drew from Sen
ator Smoot a counter attack on his
tariff remarks, the Utah senator bas-
ing his statements largely on treasury
statistics.
Senator Works arraignment of DEM
ocratic rule eliminated in an attack
upon it's Mexican policy as hopeless.
Senator Simmons avoided stirring up
this delicate matter by limiting his re-
ply TO legislative accomplishments. He
resented particularly the remark that
congress had been deprived of its
function by executive dictation and
caucus rule.
Turning to the Republican side of
the chamber, Senator Simmons de-
clared that the only Importation that
was injurying American labor was the
admission into this country of ignor-
ant foreigners in response to the de-
mand of American manufacturers who
had for years appealed to Congress for
high protective duties TO enable them
to keep up the American standard of
wages"
