Amendments Are Made to Meet senate
Changes And H. Advanced ON
Calendar.

Washington, March s.--After radi-
cally amending ii the house tonight
cleared the ways for the speedy pas
sage of the war financing corporation
bill.
Democratic Loader Kitchin obtained
unanimous consent that the measure
be given preferred position on the
calendar until Anal action is taken.
This followed closely upon the COM
pletion of the bill by the ways and
means committee. 1t cuts the amount
whichthe government may now lend
to war industries from the $4,000. 000,-
900 proposed by Secretary McAdoo to
s2,0s3,3 asa, 333. Members of the corpor-
alton must be appointed by the presi-
dent and be confirmed by the senate in
stead of selected by the secretary of
the treasury
These amendments as well as many
minor ones follow the changes which
the senate made.
Even with this change the measure
has only iukewarm congressional sup
port Administration members admit
ting this, nevertheless expect II to
pass without difficulty as opposition
is principally concerned with amend
menta
Republican support was indicated to-
day when Representatives Moore, of
Pennsylvania, made public a letter
which President Wilson had written
him declaring the bill a war necessity.

The increase In the last six years
which Ia evenly distributed over each
annual period has approximated 500
per cent, exclusive OF the large devel-
opment of market milk and cream for
consumption as milk and cream in the
large distributing centers of the state.
The number of farmers coming into
the state and entering into the dairy
business. and those who have con-
verted their farms into that line of
endeavor aggregate thirty three and
two-thirds per cent.
Had It not been for the enormously
increased demands last year and this,
the increased output would have les
sened the value of the milk products.
AS 1t ~ today there are nine cheese
factories In the state whereas Eve
years ago there were none. In addi-
ton the creameries of the state have
increased ffty per cent in number as
well as output.
The dairymen and others engaged in
the cheese and creamery business held
their annual meeting in winchester,
March 8, and s. Az has been GUS
tomary for tho last four wears, the
creamerymen's association and that of
the dairymen held the convention in
conjunction.
At the creamerymen's convention
which was held March 8. the greatest
problem. apparently, that faced the or
ssnization was the matter Of securing
service from the transportation sys-
TENS relative to the return of milk
cans. many cases the dealers re-
ported that they had lost as many as
i've hundred cans through non1return.
and in some cases the dealers stated
that their business had been paralyzed
by this lack OF service OF the employees
of the railroad and express companies.
II was said that theae employees did
not consider the empties as important
as the loaded shipments.

ANCIENT BIRDS WERE GIANTS
incapable Of Flight, but Of Immense
Proportions and Evidently Great
Physical Power.

Insofar as birds are concerned,
some Of the oldestsfo fossils, in the mat
ter Of time ( Miocene), which have
fallen into the hands Of science, are
those representing great flightless
fossil avian giants Of Patagonia in
South America. They belong to the
Rhoro rhacidae.
Judging from such parts Of their
fossil bones ashave been found, they
were evidently great terrestrial birds
of prey. Some Of the species were
small, but thissis made up for III the
others; and il the case Of one aof
them (Brontt ornis it had 4 thigh
bone considerably larger and longer
than that Of an OK.
OF all the remarkable flightless
birds of this group, however, was the
giant Phororhacos; it must have
been over eight feet il height, with 4
skull bigger than that of full
grown horse, and much deeper than
above. downwards. We know little
or nothing Of these birds or what led
to their extinction. With its great
size, Phororhacos must have been q
terror to the animals upon which it
:preyed. Skulls and some other bones
of this bird. have been discovered.

{ Effect Of War on Birth Rate.

In his recent presidential address to.
the Royal Statistical society Sir Der;
nard Mallet declared the United King
dom has lost BY the; fall In births dur

tial lives. During the same period he
estimates that Germany has lost q
100000 and Hungary 1,500, 900. The
greater decline in the birth rate in the
central empires is ascribed to the fact
that the poorer classes in those coun-
