Committee Points. J
WHEAT SECTION CHANGED

After an all day and evening session.
the conferees on the food control bill
were able to agree last night upon all
but two of tho numerous difficult points
In dispute between the House and Sem
ate. The two provisions which pre-
vented a complete agreement were tbs
Senate amendment proposing food con-
troll board of three members instead o,
an individual administrator and that
creating a congressional committee 10

Points Agreed To.

The essential points of agreement re-
lated to prohibition against whisky,
with presidential discretion to regulate
| brewing OF beer and making of light
wines: communicating of whisky In
bond or in stock; a minimum of So a
bushel on next years wheat crop. not
this years: s10,000.0GO for nitrate
stocks; regulation by the President OF
prices of coal and coke and the Senate
amendment to prohibit pecuniary inter-
est Of government advisers in con-
tracts.
The prohibition provision provide.
! that thirty days after the bill becomes
law no person shall use any foods.
fruits, food materials or feeds in the
production of any distilled spirits for
beverage purposes with a separate stip
| ulation that the prohibition shall not
| apply to the fertilization of sweet
wines. Importation of distilled spirits
is prohibited in new section.
The liquor Communicating amend
ment was adopted substantially as
written by the Senate except to include
whisky in stock as well as in bond.
| This authorizes and directs the Presi-
dent to commander any or all such
distilled spirits for rehabilitation where
it may be necessary for munitions and
other military or hospital supplies.
The spirits Communicated would be
| paid for by the government. 1t was
understood at the Capitol that the
President has no present purpose of
resorting to the Communicating au-
thorty. The President is given dis
erection to stop either the manufacture
or Importation of beer and wines.
Change in Wheat Provision.
The Senate's two-dollar wheat guaran-
tee amendment was changed as to
make it apply to next years crop in
stead Of this years. The President
| may. when he finds that an emergency
exists requiring stimulation of wheat

producers a reasonable profit. not less
than 81 per bushel at the principal in
terror primary markets. 1t also pro-
vides for additional customs duties on
wheat. when necessary. to bring the
price of the imported article up to the
guaranty.
The slO.oo0000 appropriation for nj
trate stocks in Senate amendment as
agreed to, authorized the President to
procure necessary stocks of nitrate OF
soda for increasing agricultural pro-
auctions during 1918. and to dispose OF
them at cost.
The conference already had agreed to
Senate amendments aimed to stop gov
eminent advisory agents from having
pecuniary interest in war contracts.
and to authorize the President, il il
should become necessary for national
defense, to fix coal and coke prices
After cleaning up these very impor-
tant features in dispute. the conferees
found themselves deadlocked over the
Senate amendment to create q commits
sion of three to administer the law, in
stead of one director. and over the
Senate insistence upon the creation of
a joint committee of Congress on the
conduct of the war.
After vainly trying to reach an
agreement upon these points. the con-
ferees at 1920 took recess Until to-
day.

Cross hospital ship Surf. for the de-
partment of northern France or else
where. the District chapter is called
upon and the requisition. even for entire
hospital equipment of linen. and surgi-
cal garments, is promptly met.
In appreciation of this great supply
service, which the District chapter has
organized with more than 10000 Wash
ington women doing daily and weekly
sewing, several private residences have
been placed at the use of the District
chapter. The headquarters of the
chapter at 1901 Massachusetts avenue
was sent to Miss Mabel T. Boardman for
this purpose by Herbert Wadsworth
Howe Totten has recently given the
use Of his house. 170S l street. which

dred women have taken the course in
first aid under DR.. L.-W. Glazebrook and
Dr. D. Percy Hickling in the past three
months. Dr. Hickling is now preparing

detachments. Under the general direction
Of Miss A. J. Greenlees twenty-five classes

Wonderful Growth in Work.

There has been a wonderful growth in

partment reports the issuing of 2l.262
certificates to persons who have COM
pleted the course and the organization
of 2,27S classes. with about $4,000 pupils

month. In home nursing 4,325 certif1-
Gates were issued in June. more than
twice the number issued all last year.

PETROGRAD. July 2s.-The ma
tional congress to be held at Moscow
has been postponed until the Russian
cabinet has been reconstructed definite
ly. 1t is believed that the cabinet
changes will be effected within a few
days and that the congress may hold its
first meeting next week.
The provisional government has pro-
mulgated a decree guaranteeing COM
plete liberty of conscience to all Rus
sian citizens.
The motive for postponing the ex
traordinary Russian national congress
at Moscow is the desire of the pro-
visional government to reconstruct
the cabinet with stronger men. in
GLIDING members of the constitutional
democratic party. Negotiations look
ing to this end proceeded throughout
yesterday and last night. cabinet mem
bers and representatives of the leading
parties taking part. The constitutional
democrats have agreed to re-enter the
cabinet.
Among the new ministers. according
to an official statement by the govern
ment. probably will be Gen. Vladimir
Maboukoff. first secretary general Of
the revolutionary cabinet and NJ.
Astroff, mayor of Moscow. These are
present members, but Premier Kerensky
insisted that they must be Independent

stitutional democrats are said to have
agreed.

Program Undecided.
Lenine Is Censured.

The committee Of the council of work
mems and soldiers delegates has
adopted by an overwhelming majority
a resolution censuring Nikolai Lenine
the radical leader. and his associate,
Zinovieff. and demanding that the radi-
cal leaders be tried. The resolution
contains the following recommended
tons:
First-The whole revolutionary de-
mocracy desires that the group Of
Maximalists. accused of having organ
lied disorders or melted revolts or of
having received money from German
sources should be tried publicly. In
consequence the executive committee
considers 1t absolutely inadmssible
that Lenine and Zinovieff should escape
justice and demands that the Maxi
malist faction Immediately and cate
gorically express its censure of the con-
duct of it's leaders.

THE NEW ONE

You have noticed, have you not, that
All the girls you see have got that
New and nutty way of walking with a
Every Molly, May or Maggie
Walks a walk that's lag-and-saggy
For the lag is now the very latest gag
1t is not, this newest notion,
Just wiggle or a motion,
And it isn't quite an amble nor a glide
1t is quite a novel movement,
But to call it an improvement
Is question that we really can't de-
eide.
If maiden's ways are slumpy,
If her figures fair and slender,
She is seldom quite alluring to the eye
She should try to walk sedately
But it isn't stylish lately,
So it isn't very likely that she'll try
If her fgunres's fair and slender,
May the kindly gods attend her,
And protect her while the new one is
the style,
For we fear slackadaydee,
Every young and shapely lady
Will be limping by on crutches in a
while.
