The possibility of opening the pub
lie schools at the scheduled time-Sep
tember ll-was discussed yesterday by
the Board of Education at conference
In view Of the gradual recession OF Tho
infantile paralysis epidemic it was de-
cided TO take up the matter with the
Department Of Health.
William G. Wilcox, president Of the
board, took under advisement sugges'
ton that the public schc teachers
who are out of town should not be com
pelled TO return on September IN
case the opening Of the schools, as had
been announced, does not take place
until September 25. President "illcoS
announced Saturday that it would be
beneficial to the teachers to return on
September s, the usual time, and utilize
the intervening time by attending con-
ferences and lectures at the so-caiied
teachers institute.
At Yesterdays conference members
Of the board doubted the merit OF the
institute plan as a method Of killing
time. They argued for an extension OF
the teachers vacations. Mr.. Willco1
made it clear, however, that it had not
vet been definitely decided to postpone
the opening of the schools beyond the
regular time.
He said he did not wish the teachers
TO get the impression that they might
nrolone their vacations. The presi-
dent of the board was empowered to
confer again with DR.. Haven Emer'
son. Commissioner of Health, as to the
date for opening the schools. Presi'
dent Wilcox said that definite state
ment on the subject would be made
about Sept l.

Hunting Il Middle Ground.

Therefore the question at issue, as
the situation presents itself tonight,
is whether or not some middle ground
can be found; whether or not the
small group of railroad executives
who have taken the whole case in
hand can bring about alterations in
the Presidents proposal that the
President himself will admit, and
that will be ratified by the union
delegates.
The decision to consider President
Wilson's proposition as a basis for
another settlement plan more accep-
table to the railroads and less ruin
Gus, in their judgment, to the finan-
cial interests of their properties, was
reached after the railroad executives
had met for hours at the New Will
ard Hotel and discussed an appeal
made to them by President Wilson
this afternoon.
Railroads and Defence.
In this plea the President not only
sounded humanity note that has not
been touched since the negotiations Of
the past week began, but also struck
the chord of the railroads relations TO
national defence and industrial pre-
paredness.

DEFY WILSON
OVER ALIENS
Democratic Senators
Vote to Report Inn
migration Bill.
from The Tribune bureau.

Washington, Aug. 81. - President
Wilson's determination to avoid vote
on the immigration bill in the Senate
this session and so evade the necessity
of vetoing it or reversing himself on
the eve Of an election was given
rude shock to-day.
Ten Democratic Senators joined the
Republicans in placing the bill before
the Senate. These were Ashurst, OF
Arizona; Beckham, Of Kentucky; Cham
berlain, of Oregon; Culberson, Of
Texas; Hardwick, of Georgia; Lane,
OF Oregon; Myers. of Montana; Over.
man, of North Carolina; smith, OF
South Carolina, and Vardaman, OF MIS-
sissippi.
Soon after this vote the japanese
situation came to the front so ylgor-
ously that Senator O'Gorman, of New
York, leader of the opposition to the
immigration bill, suggested that the
whole question would better be dis
cussed in executive session. He was
seconded in this by Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, wEereupon the
doors were closed for half an hour.
Want japanese Issue Settled.
Vigorous demands that the japanese
situation be settled, once for all, were
made by Senator Borah and others IN
executive session. They urged that the
House provision OF the immigration
bill. which by name excludes the Jap
anese. be retained instead OF the SEN
ate provision. The Senate wording
does not mention the Japanese, nor
would it apply to them. 1t merely men
tions latitude and longitude and would
apply principally TO the Hindoos, VINO

Some Senators declared that now il
the best time TO let the japanese know
definitely that the United States does
not intend 10 permit japanese imml-
grafton al any time.
Japan is only waiting" said one Of
these Senators, until she feels herself
strong enough to renounce the present
gentlemen's agreement under which she
is refusing 20 issue passports 10 would

later we are going 70 have trouble with
Japan over the question. Why not go

HIRAM GATES SAYS
EXPORTS CAUSE HIGH PRICES

Hiram T. Gates, OF e w. Gates &
Son Company. in an interview with
the Firing Line, gives as his opinion
OF the cause Of the high cost OF living
the immense expectation of focdstuffs
to Europe.
Mr.. Gates cites the fact that during
The month OF September from the port
Of New York alone tho exports of
xoodstuffs and munitions amounted to
3l0.760,000 each day. This II the
basic and primary cause Of high prices
and 10 absolutely the entire solution
Of the question" says Mr.. Gates. He
adds: TT Ii well to bear in mind that
munitions are manufactured partially
from food products and food Chan
nels. and this alone Is big item. not
taking into consideration the vast
quantities OF actual food products"
When asked how the wholesalers
twere affected. Mr.. Gates stated that
in many instances the Jobbers were
selling goods at less than manufac-
turers' costs today and market quo
tattons.

According 70 the report of DIR. Gray

DR.. Straus made tests in comparison
with two other standard antiseptic
solutions and reported Pro-PnyTol TO
have from three TO five times greater
germicidal properties than either Of
the others.
The tests OF the Lederle Laborato-
ries corroborated the reports of Dr.
Gray and DR.. Straus
Pro-Phy-Tol Is Harmless.
From these authoritative tests II is
evident that even IL the poisonous
germicides, bichloride Of mercury and
carbolic acid could be used at all in
the treatment Of many throat and
mouth diseases. and If either or both
Of them could be used safely upon
wounds and cuts. still Pro- Phy-Tol
would be more effective: and on ac-
count OF Its non-toxic. non-irritating
and agreeable qualities. 1t is said
that Pro-PhyTol even in Its full
strength is harmless and may be taxi
en- internally.
Such favorable results have been
achieved by the use of Pro- Phy-ToI
that numerous recommendations have
been received from sources of the
highest authority,
Largely Owned by Local Men.
Pro-Phy-Tol has gained it's envi-
able reputation solely on it's merit and
the widespread recognition which has
been accorded 1t as an antiseptic So
luton Is most gratifying to the manu-
facturers.
The Prophytol Products Company

Advertising locally and in this State
for Pro- Phy-Tol has already been

growing by leaps and bounds and
there seems no question but that 1t
will gain we'll merited and wide

''BuCk' is known as the best ma

Intoxicating. health giving beverage,
but not malt preparation as are so
many of the drinks recently put on
the market as a substitute for beer.
In fact. 1t is not claimed that Buck
is a near beer, it is in a class ahso-
lutely by itself; made to fill the de-
mand for a beverage that has the
snap, vim and invlgorating effect
without resorting to the use Of alco-
holic preparations,
Made from the best and purest of
cereals which give ii body and food
value, Buck is the result of years of
experiment, which have taught the
manufacturers how 10 give the best
qualities in soft drinks"
You never tasted anything better
than Buck" we were told: and upon
being allowed the privilege OF sampling
a bottle. We frankly admitted the truth
Of the assertion. Buck win doubtless
find favor among the tastes OF the
thirsty in Richmond.
In securing the distribution priv
ileges of Buck for Henrico and nine
other nearby counties. the Robertson
Parker Co, state that they feel certain
of an extraordinary demand for the

until Buck will make his debut in
Richmond and when he" arrives "he''

one finds it impossible to form the ac-
quaintance of Buck" q telephone
