Upper Body Adopts Gore Amend
ment Setting Increased Fig
ure BY Vote Of 49 to 18.
TO CONFERENCE NEXT
Acceptance Of Amendment BY House
Not Expected BY Its Champions
-AaricuIturai Bill Passes
Without Roll Call.

Washington, March 23.-With thu
Gore amendment increasing the gov
ernment guaranteed wheat price
$3.50, the agricultural appropriation
bill, has been passed by the senate.
It now goes to conference between
the two houses where there viii be
another fight over the wheat prices.
The wheat price amendment was
adopted, 49 to Is, after five days
discussion in which it's advocates urg'
ed the necessity of stimulating pro-
duction and criticised government
price fixing. The bill, carrying appro-
priations of $28,O00,00o. was passed
without a roll call, the principal tight
being centered on the wheat prov1s'
ion.
Besides increasing the federal guar
antee, the Gore amendment also pro-
vides that the guaranteed prices, for
the 1918 crop, shall be based on No. z
northern wheat, or it's equivalent, In
stead of on Nc. l variety, as under
the existing law and shall be payable
at local elevators or railway mar
kets, as is done now. These prov1s'
ions are designed to further increase
the farmers returns.
Another provision is that the guar
anty shall not be dependent upon &C.
ton of the President, but "is hereby
made absolute and binding until May
l, 1919"
Not Expected to Garry.
Acceptance of the amendment by the
House is hoped for by it's champions,
but despite the overwhelming vote by
which the Senate wrote the price in
crease into the bill, administration
leaders do not believe it could prevail
finally, If as has been reported, the
opposition of the Food administration
would cause a presidential veto.
. Under a proclamation by the Presi-
dent acting under the Food Control
law as it now stands with the, ~
guarantee, the basic price for 1913
wheat has been established at 1920
per bushel. Senators favoring the In
crease argued that wheat at $3.50
would not increase the price Of flour
beyond $13 or 1880 per barrel. The
price now is around $11 barrel.
Additions to Bill.
Appropriations of about a million
dollars were added to the bill in the
Senate, including $250,000 to be of.
fered as prizes by the Secretary of
Agriculture to stimulate agricultural
production and $250,000 for extension
of work in dehydrating vegetables
and fruits.
Other principal appropriations car
ried in the bill include: Meat inspec-
tion service, $4,o00,000 Increased
100000 ty the senate); extermina'
ton of southern cattle ticks, $750,000;
eradication of live stock tuberculosis,
$5OO,OOO doubled by the Senate); {;
plant industry, $2,744,00O; forestry,
$5,731 900; bureau of markets, $2,00o,-
600; combating of livestock foot and
mouth disease, 100000, and COM

Haig Says.
BRITAIN FEELS SHOCKS
Windows Shaken Along East Coast
Activity May be Opening of'
g.. Heraided Drive or Ruse to Put
Allies of Guard.

Exactly twenty-five months aft
er the Germans began the historic
battle OF Verdun, the thunder OF
their guns deepened into temp
est, of fire along the British front
In northern France and they be-
aan what may be the greatest
battle of the war, a struggle
which may lead to results which
will shape the destinies OF mil
lions Of people over coming Gen.
, turies.
The attack was made on a scale
hitherto unknown during this war
Of major offensives. It was over
a front Of so miles.
London, March 23.-It is officially
announced that the Germans nave
begun a heavy bombardment over
wide sections of the British front.
The statement says: "A heavy
bombardment has been opened by the
enemy against our whole front In the
ueighborhood of Vendeuil, south OF
st. Quentin to the River Scarpe."
Shocks Felt in England.
The artillery action on the western
front could be distinctly heard at
Dover and other towns on the east
coast of England. The doors and
windows of the houses at Dover, for
instance, were continuously shaken
by the heavy conclusions.
The firing, which was the heaviest
that has been heard in this district
from such a distance, began at 3
O'Clock and lasted at brief intervals
until z a. m.
At Ramsgate, besides the sound OF
cannonading, bright flashes we're seen
at sea while the vibration of explo-
sions shook the windows and dis
lodged tile from the roofs.
May BE Advertised Drive.
From Vendeuil north to the river
Scarpe is a distance of nearly SO
miles, and the beginning by the Ger
man artillery of heavy bombardment
along this wide front may mean that
preparations for the much advertised
German offensive in the west HAS
been begun. The preparatory work
was about due to begin II the ad-
vance announcements we're to be TAX
on at their face value, judging from
the news of day or two ago that
a party of neutral correspondents had
been invited by the German high com.
mand to start for the German front
ON Wednesday to witness the offen-
sive."
.5E.. May Be Ruse.
It is, of course, impossible to say
whether the present burst of artillery
fire means 1t is along the line indi-
Gated or somewhere within its limits
that the heavy German blow, II one
indeed Is coming, Is to be struck.
There is consideration that the bom-
bardment In this particular may be
feint to cover a stroke in an alto
gether different sector. The most
natural conclusion, however, is that
the drive is to be made at some
point in this area now under fire.

ritory outside of Flanders, over which
the British have been fighting some-
times alone and sometimes In con.

Reading by Ear for the
Blind

~ utilization of selenium for "con-

"A those things which have been carried
further in Britain than anywhere else.
The optophone, exhibited at the British
Scientific Products Exhibition, is an
illustration Of what can be done in that
direction. 1t enables blind people to read
any ordinary book or newspaper by ear
instead Of relying on the use Of raised
type, according to "The illustrated Lon
don News which gives the following
facts concerning its construction and de-
velopment:
'The optophone is the invention OF DR..
r, Z. Fournier d'Albe, late lecturer in phys
les in the universities of Birmingham and
of the Punjab. The test carried out last
year by representatives of London blind
institutions showed that it was possible to
read ordinary newspaper without an
error by car. Since then the instrument
has been greatly improved, end the result

ed for the first time, a number of blind
people have been taught to read with it,
one of these being British officer blinded
in the great Somme battle OF 1916.

which began with the exploring optophone'

etc.
There are several very good features
as disclosed by Mr.. Stodder, and among
others We find the following: By extend
ing the pier out into the ocean, as the
illustration shows, and by having a sue
cessive series of floats arranged along the
pier, use is made Of each wave as it pro-
gressvey rises and falls in its motion
toward the shore, and thus u steady
stream OF compressed air is kept flowing
through the pipe line TO the pneumatic
motors and dynamos, owing to the fact
that while one float may be all the way
down or part of the way up another may
be two-thirds the way up to the limit Of its
motion, etc. BY looking at the various
positions OF the successive floats in the
illustration this feature will be clearly
understood. The invention seems to be
better in this respect than those designed
to be installed in any spot, and which are
intended to absorb the energy from the
waves as they pass that spot. In such d
case 1t Is evident that as the wave receded
from the side of the wave motor, then
practically no power is given to the floats
or other devices which may have been pro-
Vloed. Also, IN one wave power turbine de-
