CONFERS WITH
KITCHEN TODAY

Washington, Jan. 25.--President
ways and means committee that he
favors the creation Of tariff COM
mission, and will attempt to put the
bill for one through during the pres
ent session of congress.
The president expected to discuss
the question in his special message
to congress in the near future. Kitch-
en- favors putting the powers of tar
iff commission with the federal trade
commission instead Of creating a new
body, but the president believes sep
arate commission should be estab-
lished.
Kitchen said. after his conference
with the president, that he did not
know whether he would oppose the
plan. He added that he thought the
majority of the ways and means COM
mittee were in favor of it.
For Non-partisan Board.
The presidents plan is said to be
for the non-partisan commission Is for
the purpose of collecting facts for
congress. While officials would not
say that his decision to support the
tariff commission bill meant. he
thought there should be changes in
some of the tariff schedules. it is in
dicated that he believed some changes
might be necessary after the war.
Some time ago the president was
said to feel that the powers Of the tar
iff commission already existed in the
trade commission, but he has now
changed his views.
Kitchen also said that he thought
the committee would support the anti
dumping legislation. Details have not
been worked out, but he thought the
measure would be reported as similar
to the anti-dumping clause of the
Underwood tariff bill, which was elm
mated in the senate. The clause pro-
posed an additional tariff on goods
sent to the United States to be sold
at less than market price in the
country FROM which they exported. =

MOTH PREVENTION.
How to Keep the Pests From Destroy.
ina Carpets,


can ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" so now is the time to
send out all your scouts In search of
the troublesome moth. If you fear that
they are at work at the edge of your
carpets it will sometimes suffice to lay
a wet towel over them and press well
with a fatiron, but the best way Is to
take the carpet up, clean it and give a
good deal of attention to the floor
Look in the cracks, and if you discover
signs of moths wash the floor with ben
zine and scatter red pepper on it before
again putting your carpets down.
Heavy carpets sometimes do not re-
quire taking up every year unless in
constant use. Take out the lacks from
these, fold the carpets back, wash the
floor in strong acids with tablespoon
full of boraX dissolved in them. Dash
insect powder or lay tobacco leaves
along the edge and retack. Turpentine
is also very good. Mix the turpentine
with water in proportion of three table
spoonfuls to three quarts of water and
then, after the carpet has been well
swept, go over each breadth carefully
with sponge dipped in the solution
and wrung nearly dry. Change the
water as often as it becomes dirty, and
the carpet will be nicely cleaned as
well as disinfected. All moths can be
kept away and the eggs destroyed by
using these means.

How Much Is Now Left of the Bal
timore PIatforn2

timore Platform?
The president had boldly signed the
Pork river and harbor DILL, and his
facile pen is dripping with ink eager
to attach itself to a pork public build
ings bill.
The friendliest apologists of the pres
ident's part in the profigate waste Of
money wrung from the people by op
pressive taxation have nothing better
to say for him than that 1t is hardly
fair to expect a man to say IT forbidr
in his presidential year when he is a
candidate.
The foregoing words describing the
profigate waste Of the peoples money
with executive approval are taken
without change from a plank Of the
platform on which Woodrow Wilson
was elected In 1912:
1--WE denounce the profligate waste
Of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the lavish
appropriations of recent Republican
congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the peoples toll. We demand a return
so that simplicity and economy which
BELTS democratic government"
How much is now left Of the prin-
ciples declared and the promises reg
istered at Baltimore as inducements to
citizens to vote for Wilson.
Possibly it is because he and his
party have been such reckless, such
wholesale regulators of the pledges of
1912 that few people remember or care
to remember what pledges were made
in his behalf about forty days ago at
St Louis.-New York Sun.

Truth About That "JOy Ride

EDITOR News AND CITIzEN:-
Dear Sir: AS I note some very er-
roneous statements in the last issue OF
your worthy paper concerning the auto
accident that happened to L. Fl. Noyes
and myself 1 will ask you to kindly al
dow me to correct the same.
The fact that your correspondent seems
to be better fitted to create scandal than
to chronicle facts prompts me to give you
the truth of the matter.
In the first place. have driven car
three seasons and have never met with
an accident of any kind before, and 1
have yet to meet the man or woman who
will say that am not thoroughly compe-
tent to handle car under any and all
conditions. The statement that a lady
was driving my car at the time of the ac-
cident is untrue. 1 was driving the car
myself and no one else had driven it that
night.
Mr.. Noyes had only one light burning,
and it was impossible for me to Judge
which side of his car it was on, and as it
was so extremely bright it was impossi-
ole for me to see the road or anything
else; SO 1 applied the brake and had
nearly brought my car to stop when
Mr.. Noyes (who was running, 1 should
Judge, about twenty miles an hour at.
tempted to pass on the left-hand side.
but failed to get by clear. The latter
told me that he thought he would get by
the best on the left side, so he "took
chance"
do not wish to place unnecessary
blame on Mr.. Noyes and his party, who
acted like ladies and gentlemen, but if
anything is to be known, why not the
truth Mr.. Noyes' car went several times
its length after colliding before it came
to stop; when 1 got out and looked
nround saw that my car was exactly in
the center of the road-it having been
moved only slightly by the impact of the
other car.
/ would like to inform your CORE
spondeRt that the fact that my passen-
gers preferred the shelter of Mr.. Mat
thews' wagon-house to standing by the
roadside during the two hours wait,
while was trying to get some means of
conveyance, was not because they were
criminals or fugitives from justice. Al
low me to suggest that to intimate any
such thing only shows a mark of low
breeding on the part of the one doing so.
Very trul y yours,
L. e. WHITNEY.

How to Tell if the Valves of Your Car
Are In Good Shape.

The fit of the valve head and the
valve seat is usually tested by coating
the valve head with Prussian blue pig
ment and pressing it in place against
the seat. The valve is then turned
about one-fourth of a revolution and
removed. If the valve and seat are
proper fit the entire seat will show
blue, though if the valve head and seat
do not fit only the high spots or ridges
on the valve seat will receive coating
of blue. In such an event the grinding
process should be continued Until the
valve head has an even bearing all
over the seat.

The Troop met Tuesday, Aug. H. at L.
B. Bailey's store with their blankets
tents, eatibles and cooking utensils. A
team was loaded with all the baggage
| with the exception of the tents and STATS
which were carried by the Scouts. With
the U. S. flag, new one recently pur-
chased by the Troop, little in advance,
the Troop moved nortkward.
Several halts were called to take into
the ranks Scouts who lived along the
way, at J. V. Foss' for cold spring water
and at Shattuck's store at Eden for cold
sodas.
Veteran Lanpher greeted the Scouts
and talked to them of his army life.
They also met with applause from the
farmers, autoists and village people.
The Scout master learned that the
Ladies' Aid of Eden Mills was serving a
dinner to raise funds for benevOlence, so
halt was called and the matter brought
before the Troop with the result that
all stopped and enjoyed a feast such as
oily the ladies of Eden can serve.
After dinner the Troop fell in and
march eastward to the place of camp,
which was on Orrel Stones land on the
shore of Lake Eden. A short rest was
taken upon reaching there, after which
the twenty tents were arranged accord
ing to rule.
Each Scout had his own meals to get
while in camp, except coffee, potatoes
and soups, which were seen to by the
Scout Master and served to all. Meal
hours were at a. M, II m. and p. m.
Lights were out and everyone in his
blankets at 10 p. m. sharp. These rules
were strictly obeyed.
After breakfast each Scout had to put
his tent in order for the day, each tent
Then all litter was removed from the
grounds, after which the Scouts were
put upon their honor and allowed to 60
and come during the day to enjoy them
selves.
The Scout master remained in camp to
entertain visitors and to aid any Scout in
need. There were visitors from Connec-
ticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
besides large number from nearby
places.
Wednesday evening was the regular
meeting night, so the Scouts gathered
around the campfire and the usual bust
ness was transacted. Mrs. Messer of
Connecticut was present and spoke to
the boys.
Scouts Wedge, Parker and Westover
won out in the fifty yard swimming test
and were booked as passed by the Scout
Master.
At o'clock all baggage'was packed,
tents taken down and ground cleaned and
all ready for the homeward journey, each
and every one saying that they would
never go again for less than a week.
The company left at p. m. and
reached North Hyde Park at $3.50 p. m.
The Scout Master aud Scouts wish to
thank the Eden people for the kindness
and courtesy shown them.
