PROHIBITION BILL
 NAY GO OVER TILL
 TER THE RECESS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Adoption tomorrow by the senate of the house resolution empowering the president to acquire telegraph, telephone. cable and radio systems, with a summer va cation for congress, with national war time prohibition legislation postponed until after the recess. was the program framed today by congressional leaders.
 Senate debate on the administration wire control resolution was begun to- day after the S11,000, 900 emergency agricultural appropriation bill with its prohibition amendment had been laid aside temporarily. With a vote ex- pected tomorrow or not later than Sat urday, approval of the resolution without amendment almost unver- sally is conceded. Leaders of the sen ate and house renewed negotiations to postpone the prohibition issue and carry out original plans for a recess or adjournment until about August 12.
 Displace Prohibition
 Prohibition advocates assented to temporary displacement of the agri- cultural measure because the wire control resolution is regarded by the administration as an urgent war ne- cessity If prohibition managers final ly insist on immediate disposition of the prohibition legislation, leaders be- lieved a vote might be recorded early next week and congress then start on it's vacation.
 The wire control resolution was de- bated in the senate virtually all day Opponents emphasized lack of infor- nation regarding it's military neces- sity and insisted that further hearings are necessary before intelligent action can be taken.
 Merely as Precaution
 Pressing the resolution on the ground that President Wilson regards it's grant of authority as a military necessity. Senator Smith and Senator Underwood of Alabama said no pres ent exigency is known to require it's use, but that it is to arm the president with power, if need for it should arise.
 Opposition came principally from re- publcans. Senator Smith of Michi- gan vehemently declared government control of communication systems was step toward socialism, with dangers of press censorship, while Senator Kellogg of Minnesota declared congress is asked to act without opportunity for intelligent information or reasons for its enactment. Senators Borah of Idaho and Harding of Ohio also de- manded information regarding it's ne- cessity.
 Amendments proposing to except telephone systems and telegraph wires leased by press associations from the resolutions operations were intro- duccd by Senator Watson of Indiana, republican.

Economic Body Not Picked

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Selection of group of men to carry economic aid to Russia still is under consider ation, but it may be said authoritative ly that final decision has been reached on none. All of the cabinet members are suggesting to President Wilson names of men prominent in various in dustries, who might be fitted for the work in hand.
 Possibilities of a famine in Russia are giving this government some con- cern. Reports from authentic sourcse say that in the political turmoil, agri- culture virtually has been abandoned and the people have eaten what grain the Germans have not taken, leaving no seed for planting.

STREET RAILWAYS
FACING COLLAPSE
Federal Investigator Urges I.
S. Control in Effort to
Avoid Bankruptcy
PROBLEM CHIEFLY LOCAL
; Public Service Commissions,
However, Appear Unwill-
ing to Grant Relief

Washington, Sept. 4.-The street
railway systems in the United States
are facing collapse unless the Fed
eral government comes TO their aid
according to a report submitted by
]. D. Beeler. Government traffic en-
pert.
Mr.. Beeler has just returned to
Washington from an inspection oi
conditions in the worst war-con-
gested centers of the East. This tour
followed several months work IN
Washington attempting TO straight
en- out congested street car and
other traffic conditions in the cap
ital. He asserted most emphatlc-
ally in his report that street rail-
way companies all over the country
were running into bankruptcy and
ultimate collapse.
Taxes and Jitneys
The situation. he said. is much
more serious than is realized either
by the local communities or the
Federal government. Taxation, IN
creased costs of labor and material,
iitnev competition and other cir
cumstances have all but put some
companies out of business already.
As the only practical measure OF
relief. Mr.. Beeler urges the ap-
pointment by the Federal govern
ment of a railway administrator TO
control all the tramway systems.
Other similar recommen have
been made. and the matter has been
carried TO the President and TO Sec
retary McAdoo by the Capital Issues
Committee and others.
Problem Is Local
President Wilson and the Director
General of Railways have main
aimed the street railway problem is
purely a local one and should be
handled by public service and utility
commissions. Early in the summer
the President sent out an appeal TO
public service and utility commits
sions to take cognizance of the situ-
alton and extend needed relief in
the way of increased fares and
charges.
Utility commissions, however.
largely on political grounds, 1t is
said, have not acted. In view of
their failure to accept the sugges-
tions OF the President and other
Federal authorities, officials here
are in a quandry as to how relief
can be extended, as each transpor-
tation company is distinctly local
affair. and they have no national in
terrelation. Conditions are different
in every community.

Rupp Favored For
State Chairmanship

Lawrence II. Rupp, district at
torney of Lehigh county. is the man
most favored for the craftsmanship of
the Democratic State Committee when
Major George r. Mclean retires as
is expected he will do at the meeting
of the committee this afternoon.
Major Mclean is now in the army
and expects to go in active service
soon. There is also talk of Parke H.
Davis. of Easton, but Rupp seems
to have the inside track.
The belief is that the platforms
will avoid the liquor issue, but an
effort to inject it when the commit
tee meets is very probable. Friends
of Judge Eugene c. Bonniwell will
be in the committee and will try to
secure the endorsement of the judges
declarations.
Owing to the tense situation be-
tween the judge and the leaders of
the official wing of his party there is
a large attendance of Democrats, in
cluding the national representatives
from this state. Most of the candi-
dates are also here.

So successful has the idea of a

OF trench warfare have been re-

The new course involves instruc-

soldier in the proper posture of the
body and its use in walking, running
and riding. Special drills have been
devised to overcome habits into
which the invaded soldier has fal-
len. Instruction is given in the care
of the feet while special attention
has been given to the foot and lee
cases in he hospitals.
Men with specially troublesome
feet, weak backs, general bad pos

TO the special training battalion

of the body is emphasized. Four

foods, which contain but little nour-

along and becoming nervous.

his Charles Selemyer, of 240 East

results from Tonall, l thought it
would also help me. I am feeling

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t

lather, cleanses thoroughly, and

and easy to handle. Besides, it loos-

dust, dirt and dandruff.
