WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-President Wilson listened today for three hours to the arguments of the citizens who favor or oppose the immigration bill as passed by congress and which re- quires a literacy test to be passed by all who wish to settle in America.

GOMPERS AGAINST
 FEDERAL PROBE
Says Only Way Labor Can Be Aided Is By organization-Use PoIit-
 ical Power.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, told the members of the Federal Industrial Relations Commis- sion that its action would have but little weight with the workers of the country, as it had been demonstrat- ed that the only means of controlling the big interests was by a fighting organization of men organized into union, powerful enough to fight the greed of the capitalists to a finish and with political power sufficient to force the enactment of just laws for the protection of labor.
 The members of the commission in- formed the labor leader that the ob- ject of the investigation was to re- port to congress the best means of establishing peace in the industries of the country and to prevent the strikes now so frequent by arriving at an understanding of the causes which are responsible for them and if pos sible to rectify the laws so as to pre- vent if possible any more strikes.
 Mr. Gompers insisted that organiz- ed labor was able to protect working men and would continue to do so.

Greece Sees Menace In BuIgaria's
 Stand.

Stand.
 LONDON, Jan. 23.-The steps which have been taken to bring about an understanding between the Christian 6alkan states and with the idea of obtaining the neutrality of Bulgaria, apparently have not met with com plete success, according to dispatch es received from the near eastern cap itals, and Greece, Servia, and Rumau- ia are preparing for eventualities. During a discussion of the budget in the Greek Chamber of Deputies, M. Theokoti is reported to have declared that the speech recently delivered by the Bulgarian premier regarding Ma cedonia, which Bulgaria considered should have been ceded to her after the last Balkan war, constituted a menace; while the Greek Minister of Finance said that Greece was making urgent military preparations to main. tain her liberated territory.
 Another dispatch from Athens says that the Greek government has for. bidden the exportation of cereals flour, cattle, forage and arms. Should Bulgaria, contrary to ex. pectations, attack Servia with the oh ject of recovering Macedonia, Greece by her treaty obligations would, it is 1 thought in political circles here, come to the assistance of Servia, and the
 Balkan peninsula would be in the throes of third war.

TOBACCO BUYERS ACTIVE
Only % Per Cent. of Last Years Crop
in Hands of Lancaster Growers

Lancaster, Pa, March 22.-The leaf
tobacco dealers of Lancaster have at
last commenced their long delayed buy
ing of the 1914 crop of Lancaster
county, but it is question now how
much best quality goods they will get.
Nor will they get it at as low prices
as they had calculated upon, though
the prices they are receiving are very
much too low for the growers. The big
outside concerns have bought fully 60
per cent. of the crop, and another 10
per cent. has been taken by local
packers, leaving 25 per cent. still in
the growers hands.
Ii is significant of the changed con-
dition of the Lancaster tobacco mar
ket that prior TO the last three or four
years the entire crop was either sold
on the field, before the plants were cut.
or before the Christmas holidays. The
last few years plenty of growers had
their tobacco ON hand up to the time
the spring work on the farm began.
which was a serious bAadicap, as the
care of the tobacco took them from
other very neeessfIy work. The crops
sold the early yart of the present sea-
son brought from to 10 cents. prob
ably fearth of the tobacco bringing
this, while those sold recently did not
bring more than 6. or s cents a
pound. The last named figure was for
tobacco that the grower could have
sold early in the season for 10 cents,
but it was held for better prices. Grow
ers, alike with the packers and cigar
manufacturers, looked for a spring
boom, but as this appears backward
about coming the growers are now
anxious to sell. As the new tobacco
was cured under very unfavorable
weather conditions, good deal of con-
Germ is felt by the packers over the
question of it going through the sweat
properly, failure to do so entailing
heavy losses upon the owner.

STOOP SHOULDERS
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
BY Samuel q. Dixon, NJ. D., LII.
D., Commissioner of Health

Atlas bore the weight of the heavens
upon his head and hands, according to
n Greek myth, but those of mankind
who carry the burden of life, too often
let il rest upon their shoulders. Stoop
shouldered men and women by the
thousands are to be found among the
followers of sedentary occupations.
Nine oat of ten when the subject is
mentioned will square away their
shoulders and say, 81 IN getting lit
tie careless about that. Then they
make a momentary resolve that they
will brace up and overcome the fault.
That ii is fault and one that has n
distinct bearing upon health there is
no question,
No system of physical culture is
complete which does not include exer-
ciseS which teach erect carriage and
deep breathing. One of these is i'm
possible without the other, In this lies
the chief i'll effect of stoop shoulders.
To maintain good health we should
use cur lungs to their normal capacity
AT ali times. The proper publication
of the blood through oNygenation re-
quires ample breathing. Drop your
shoulders forward and then try TO take
full breath: see how impossible II is
TO do SO in that position. Breathing
with the shoulders forward and the
breast bone depressed is only partially
accomplished. The lower portion of
the lungs cannot be emptied and in
stead of receiving supply of fresh
air they will be filled with residual air.
To work, sit or walk day after day
with the shoulders hunehed forward,
means that the lung capacity is les
sened Just so much and corresponding
loss of vitality results.
Such a posture also permits the sag
ging of the diaphragm, resulting dis
placement of the abdominal organs and
leads to serious digestive disturbances.
Do not resort TO shoulder braces or
other mechanical means to correct
STOPPING shoulders. These are but
makeshifts which 40 not remedy the
real trouble. Make tine mental effort
necessary TO keep the body erect. BY
maintaining proper posture the muscles
can be strengthened and made to do
their work OF holding the body up
right,

teachers should see TO il that they are
given physical exercises to correct the
