WASHINGTON

If you want baby cheap, all you
have to do Is to send pair OF skates
to Jimmy Van Tree. Jimmy is one
of Dustin Farnum's staunchest friends.
Every thought Of his five long years

This is told as true story. A big
producing company wanted to make
a ten-reel production of western
story adapted from well known nov
Ell. A director was given an all-star
cast and assigned to the task When
the picture was finally completed and
submitted to the producers there was
genuine indoor riot. The piece was
that" bad. There was no chance to
use 1t. But did the company discard
the film altogether? Not in this day
of economy, 1t was reassembled,
with the result that one fve-reel fea-
ture replete with thrills" one two-reel
western" and one single-reel comedy
were offered for sale. The remaining
two reels were saved for "retake' Of
the original story.

ALABAMA WILL NOT
Be ABLE TO SEND
40 PER CENT QOUTA

Montgomery, September 17.-(Spe-
cial. alabama cannot furnish 40 per
cent of its quota under the selective
service law at this time because the
district exemption boards have not
completed their work This fact was
ascertained Monday afternoon follow
ing the receipt of information from all
boards by the state military depart :
ment. AS much of the 40 per cent as
is possible will be started toward
Camp Gordon and Camp Pike Wednes-
day and the remainder will be dis
patched at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Forty per cent of the quota of each
county have been notified to present
themselves to the county exemption
boards. but it is understood several
decisions of the district boards will be
handed down during Tuesday. Those
exempted by the district board must
be released from this number 1t is
improbable that those whose appeals
are pending will be sent forward as
an exemption by the district board
would bring on a needless expense to
the government.
Gen. G. J. Hubbard said each county
has reported that everything is in
readiness for the movement of the
states quota. 1t will be started forward
Wednesday morning and the move
ment will be completed in three days.
Camp Pike. Little Rock, will get a
greater part Of the states men.

Chief Executive of Texas
Admits This on Stand.
Wanted to Show
Courage

Austin, Tex, September 17.-slxteen Of
the q charges brought against him be-
fore the Senate high court Of impeach-
ment were covered today in testimony
given by Gov. James E. Ferguson when
he took the stand in his own defense.
His counsel. w. A. Hangar. took up
the charges in order until he came to
the eleventh article. which alleges that
the chief executives failure to tell where
he received s15s,5OO in currency loans this
year constitutes official conduct. This
was passed over for the time being
Most of the testimony was repeti-

was only later that he learned that one
of his notes had not been settled.
The governor said that while the spe-
cfal session Of the legislature called to
meet on August was ostensibly to fix up

it, as matter of fact to show he was
not going to run away from impeach-
ment proceedings. He. asserted he was

ALABAMA CAVALRY
LEAVES ON MARCH
TO MACON CAMP

Montgomery, September IT Especial
About 500 horses turned their noses to
the east and moved from Camp Sheri-
dan yesterday afternoon, carrying over
land the First Alabama cavalry, which
will go into training at Camp Wheeler
Macon, Ga, within Is days. This started
the exodus of ahe Alabama brigade.
Throughout the afternoon troop trains
moved out over the railroads leading
into Georgia and within "a hours no
Alabama troops will be within the Dor.
ders of the state.
Brig. Gen. r. E. Steiner and hts staff
left on one of the first trains. The call
to remove tents and pack all equipment
sounded early Monday and by noon every
company was ready to move. The First
cavalry was first to leave, departing
shortly after the noon hour. 1t was
quickly followed by various detachmenrs
of the infantry organizations.
Many citizens of Montgomery and other
towns crowded about the troops during
the day to watch them in their final
preparations and to tell them good-by,
1t was a touching farewell as the brigade
will not again touch Alabama soil until
after service on European soil.
Six sections were necessary in trans
porting the troops The first regiment
was allotted two sections, the second two
sections, brigade headquarters one sec
ton and one section being given to pris-
oners, guards and equipment.

termaster at Camp Sheridan for several

partment to increase rates on advertis-
ing portions only of newspapers and
periodicals.
Although more rigid secrecy than ever
was imposed on the deliberations, it was
reliably stated that the conferees have
definitely agreed to eliminate the House
provisions for a general 10 per cent tar
if increase. and to strike out the House
section estimated to raise S6,O0O,000 from
inheritances.
A compromise on the war profits dis
pute, the most important in the bill
was said to be approaching, with the
Senate conferees disposed to yield their

London, August 20-(Correspondence
Industrial unrest in England primarily
is due to the heavy increase in food
prices and to food profiteering, accord
ing to the reports of commissions APP
pointed to ascertain its causes. The com
missions find that all over the country
workingmen complain of the discomfort
caused by imitation of the prices of food
The working of the military service act
and munitions of war act are also con-
tributory causes. Disproportion Of wages
between time and piece workers dissat-
isles most skilled tradesmen who are gem
orally employed on time. and who. while
doing work of great Importance receive
only a third or one-fourth of the wages
paid to the most successful of unskilled
men.
/ There is difference Of opinion regard
ing liquor restrictions in the various
commissions reports, some asserting that
a larger supply of good quality beer IS
an urgent necessity. while others give
less prominence to that subject.
In some districts men are said to be
losing confidence in the government and
to this is attributed the growth of un-
constitutional trade unionism in such
areas as the Clyde

The leading recommendations are con-

opinion that prices should be- lowered

Attention is called by all theI minis
