CONGRESS BUSY

IMPORTANT MEASURES UP
Prohibition Has Right Of Way In the
senate-House 10 Marking Time
Waiting Conference Report on Food
Bill.

Washington, July 30.-Congress
this week has all three of the big is
sues-food control, revenue and pro-
hibition-on the congressional calen-
dar, with minor questions coming up
in such numbers that the leaders are
about resigned to indefinite prolonga-
ton of the session.
The immediate work to be done on
food and revenue legislation must be
done in committee, but before the
week is over the food conferees and
the senate finance committee, revising
the war tax bill. hope 20 report out
their measures.
Meantime prohibition has the right
Of way in the senate, which 1t took
I'D today for vote Wednesday, the
resolution of Senator Sheppard pro
posing submission of national pro
hibition amendment of the constitu-
ton
Senator Sheppard plans to open the
prohibition discussion, which promises
lively contest, touching many war
questions. The vote. both sides admit,
will be extremely close. Dry leaders
hope for about sixty-fve votes, or
Just about the necessary two-thirds
for adoption. The resolution still
would have to pass the house. which
in 1914 rejected similar measure.
During the week the senate com
r'erce committee expects to report
the trading with the enemy bill. Chair
man Chamberlain of the military COM
mittee will bring in his bill for draft
ing the subjects Of the European allies
in this country and Senator McCumb'
er's resolution authorizing the presi-
dent to negotiate treaty changes to
permit such drafting will be reported
from the foreign relations committee
The house is in recess waiting for
the conference report on the food
bill, but there Is a growing sentiment
that IL the extra session Is to continue
indefinitely the channels Of general
legislation. now closed under a gen
eral understanding to consider only
urgent administration matters, should
by opened up. Veteran members are
pessimistic about any early adjourn
ment and a large proportion of the
/ house membership is away.
Hearings on the $4,000, 100000 estt
mates for the army as basis for
recordbreaking general deficiency bill
began today in the house appropria
ton committee, and on Tuesday the
house military committee will take up
an alien drafting bill similar to that
to be reported to the senate.

MAN METER USED IN
SELECTION OF OFFICERS
Psychology Expert at Fort Sher-
idan Has Devised a Unique
Standard.

Uncle Sam is using IMAM meter"
I'm the selection of the officers for the
new national army.
DIR. Walter Dill Scott, former head of
the department of psychology of North
western university, now a government
expert, visited Fort Sheridan, ILL.,. the
other day. The man meter" Is said
to be his invention-the result of the
application of his knowledge of psy-
chology to the task Of judging men. At
the request of number of industrial
leaders he used the same plan In con-
nection with big business organizations,
but for some time he has been in gov
eminent service.
His plan was presented to the in
structors Of the reserve officers train
ing camp, but it will be used only in
part, as 1t came some time after the
selective machinery had been grinding.
He previously had presented it at
Plattsburg, Fort Myer and Fort Ben
jamin Harrison. where 1t is said to
have been adopted. And 1t is expected
1t will be used throughout the second
camps.
The theory of the imam meter" is the
establishment of standards by which
man may be judged. DR.. Scott found
means of doing this. AS 1t is applied
to the army's present task. the basis
is established by the Instructors COM
parison Of the candidate he is judging
with ten army captains under whom
he has served.
There are five points to be scored
physical qualities, intelligence. military
leadership, character and general value
to the service. Each of the first four
is allowed a maximum of fifteen points
and the last a maximum of forty
points, making 100 the highest possible
or ideal score.
The things to be considered In con-
nection with each point are outlined.
For example. under Intelligence" the
instructor considers lease Of learning.

ing proposition simply to breed mares
to any stallion that may be available.
A sound, pure bred stallion should be
used If the best results are to be OBJ
tanned.
The stallion selected should conform
as closely as possible to the breed and
type of the mares that are to be bred.
Stations of pure breeding are. by vir-
tue of their unmixed ancestry. possess
ed Of greater pre-potency than are
grades or scrubs and will therefore in
variably impress their offspring with
their breed characteristics and individ-
ual merit.
A low service fee is too often the
deciding factor with many farmers and
mare owners in the selection of q sire.
A low service fee ought never to be a
temptation. but, rather, should be TAX
en- as warning. A low fee is usually
sign OF an inferior stallion. Colts
from inferior or scrub sires will sell
for much less than those sired by the
sound. pure bred stallion.
Sound, high class horses are the ideal
farm power, and good mares bred to
pure bred sires of the same breed and
conformation pay good profits not only
In the colts they produce. as has been
shown, but also in the labor they per-
form. Poor horses render poor serv-
ice and often cost more to keep than
they are worth. The loss in feed con-
sumed and lack of labor performed by
the inferior and scrub horses of the
country is enormous. This expense
can be greatly reduced if farmers and
mare owners will breed their mares
to the right sort of stations and pro-
dnce the kind of horses the farm re-
quires and the market demands.
The time to begin is now. All in
ferior pure bred colts and all grade
and mOngrel colts should he castrated.
Only the best mares should be retain
ed and these bred to sound, pure bred
sires. One of the best ways to slim
ulate interest in the breeding of bet
ter horses is to arrange to hold a fall
colt show. \ string of promising colts
will afford striking evidence of the re-
suit of breeding the best and prove a
splendid advertisement for the COM
munity.

FOOD CONFEREES
TURN TO WILSON
Unable to Obtain Agreement on
Control Bill.
MAY PASS BILL THIS week
Senate Proposals to Establish a War
Expenditure Committee and to
Create a Board Of Three Food Ad-
ministrators In Dispute.

Washington, July 30.-Failing to
obtain an agreement on the admins.
tration food control conferees turned
to President Wilson, the leaders con-
ferring with him on the two points
remaining in dispute-the senate pro-
posals to establish congressional
committee to supervise war expendi-
lures and to create board of three
food administrators instead of one.
Upon all other questions the con-
ference committee reached COM
plete agreement Final enactment of
the bill this week is hoped for by the
conferees, but not regarded as GER
tain.
Representative Lever, representing
the house conferees, and Senator
Chamberlain who handled the bill in
the senate for the administration, took
up with President Wilson the two re-
naming differences. The conferees
are to meet again after the White
House conferences. Several Of them
are doubtful of the outcome, however,
believing a partial disagreement will
result in submission Of disputed ques-
lions to both legislative branches for
another vote.
The president has declared the war
committee would be embarrassing and
would indicate lack of confidence In
his conduct of the war. Should he
insist upon elimination of the pro-
posal, as expected. 1t appears prob.
able that the senate conferees would
yield the point today, leaving a dis
agreement only on the food question.
Numerous other changes have been
agreed to in the bill, with most Of
the principal senate amendments &C.
cepted.
The conferees agreed that in addi
ton to foods, feeds and fuels. the
government shall control fuel oil
and natural gas, fertilizer and ferti-
lizer ingredient, tools. utensils, imple-
ments and equipment required for the
actual production thereof; all denomi-
mated as necessaries. Tho so-called
control section of tn, house bill. much
broader than the senate's was adopt
ed authorizing federal regulation af'
fecting speculation, distribution and
movement of the designated neces-
saries.
The prohibition section, agreed to
prohibits manufacture or importation
of distilled beverages during the war,
and authorizes the president to limit
the alcoholic contents Of beer and
wines and to commander distilled
beverages when necessary. This was
a substitute for the house bone dry
section and for the senate prohibition
of distilled beverage manufacture. The
Smoot amendment, directing federal
purchase of all distilled spirias In
bond, was stricken out.
