DENIES FAILURE
TO APPROPRIATE
CHECKSPERSHING

The intelligence service In the army
Is not being crippled" by the failure
OF the House Appropriations Commit
tee to include S4S9, 900 for this service
in the big deficiency bill now pending.
This statement was made today by
Chairman Fitzgerald, in denying pub
lished reports that the service was
being paralyzed by the niggardllness
OF his committee.
Hearings on the bill disclose the
fact that Col. P. T. Pierce, OF the
general stan, was unable to tell how
much OF the 100000 given for this
purpose in the deficiency bill passed
last June has been used. No need for
the balance OF the million asked at
first has been shown yet. II is the
intention OF the appropriations com
mittee to wait until it is shown Just
how much more money is actually
needed before providing it. There
will be plenty OF time for that when
Congress meets in December, Mr..
Fitzgerald believes.
Published reports indicated that
lack OF money for the intelligence ser
vice Is hampering the activities Of
General Pershing in France.

Electricity Reclaims Farms
the Electric News Service.

From the Electric News Service.
 The motor-driven pump is extensively used in irrigation work throughout the reclaimed farming district of the west, but one of the most novel applications of electric power in agricultural service is to be found in California where electric pumps are used to drain shallow lake containing 20,000 acres of land.
 A battery of six S00-horse power pump ing units is installed in reclamation dis trict No. 1900 in the Sutter basin. This district. comprising 550O0 acres, is being reclaimed but up to the present time the levees have not been entirely com pleted. The flood water from the Sac ramento and Feather rivers spreads over greater part of the land in winter. In summer, when the rivers drop, a lake IS left covering about 10000 acres. To drain this land the electric pumps are started and are run night and day until the area is drained. Each pump has a capacity of over 10000 gallons per minute, and the entire plant has a capacity of ap- proximately 600, 100000 gallons per day. or enough water to supply the city of San to be the largest reclamation pumping pant in the world.
 This very fertile land produces won derful yield of various kinds of beans During the latter part of June, after the pumps have finished draining the land, small army of farmers with traction engines and farming implements of all kinds start to blow and pant the land to beans The average yield will be close to 15 sacks per acre and in this section

 It is well that woman should know most of the over-popular French models before she spends money on autumn clothes. because if she is ignorant of these particular expressions of the fash ion by certain designers. she Is apt to buy gown of which she will become ex- ceedingly weary before Christmas. How ever. she Is the only one who can judge whether or not she wants to wear what everyone else has. or something differ ent.
 The shops have copied most of the French models. and in week or two, will sell the originals at any price they can demand. The American copies are not exact and are often more adaptable to our social life and activities than the originals. We have progressed so far In fashions that we take the French sil- houette. a peculiar kind of material or trimming, a high neck or long sleeve and we make a salad of our own of these ingredients. This is as it should be-

 The tailored suit is not offered for any kind of ceremonial occasion. It is worn by the individualists and by those who feel that they are not comIortaoly dressed unless they are in this Kind or conventional harness.
 The girl who works, the woman who plays and the millionaire In Red Cross activities are different types of women who go in for the one-piece frock ana get the variety which they insist they need in life by adopting this kind of costumery.
 Never before has there been such col lection here of one-piece black velvet gowns. They greet one at every glance of the eye. No one has tried to make them pretentious or unduly ornamental. The severe ones. which are the best ones, have +he now famous surplice bodice which Is drawn across the bust and passed around the waist to tie in the back or brought forward to tie in the front.

 Then there is another gown by Bulloz which Is well known and which carries out his idea of using the Persian Tree of Life as a means of ornamenting the skirt. You may remember that the sensational gown called "Griselidis'' which was worn
