MEANS DEATH SENTENCE

"We do not know and indeed we
 doubt whether the delegates of the a;-
 lied and associated powers realize the
 inevitable consequences which will
 take place in Germany. An industrial. state very thickly populated, closely
 bound up with the economic system of
 the world, and reduced to the obliga-
 ton to import enormous quantities Of
 raw materials and foodstuffs, sud-
 denly finds herself pushed back in the
 phase of her development which would correspond to her economic conditions
 and the numbers of her population as
 they were half a century ago. Those
 who will sign this treaty will sign the
 death sentence of many millions of German men. women and children. q thought it my duty before enter ing upon a discussion of other details of the treaty to bring to the knowledge of the allies and associated delegations this summary expose of the problem of the German population.

FORECAST WAS CORRECT

'sThe result has been in exact ac- cordance with this forecast. Six of the leading steel interests, in response to the railroad administrations request for bids for steel rails, have submitted bids which are uniform in all respect as to prices and conditions of maEu- facture and are in strict accordance with the prices proposed to and ap- proved by the industrial board. In view of the immediate need for 20O,- 000 tons of steel rails, orders have been placed at the prices but with emphatic disapproval of the prices and the man. ner in which they have been estab- lished
 That action of these six steel com panies in making uniform bids waz taken under the leadership of the Unit ed States Steel corporation ies clear from the fact that immediately after the railroad administration announced finally that it would not approve the prices fixed by the industrial board. Judge Gary, for the Steel corporation, took the initiative in announcing pub hcly that the Steel corporation was strictly maintaining the prices ap proved by the industrial board and that It seemed to him that would be the attitude of other manufacturers"
 MT. Hines then reviewed figures showing, he said, the "heavy profits" Of the steel companies in recent years, In support of his contention that the rail prices quoted were unreasonable.
 It is important to remember" said MT. Hines in conclusion, that the present policy of the steel interests in adhering to high prices on the ground that present cost necessitate them is a policy that does not work both ways. It is policy to keep prices from go- Ing lower as business increases and costs diminish

The resolution merely calls in the state Department to furnish the Senate with the complete text of the treaty. but as the debate progressed discussion shifted to the merits of the league and the treaty themselves. A dozen senators, answering their leaders on both sides, were drawn into the discussion and sharp exchanges presaged the bitterness of the fight that is to come when the treaty actually comes up for ratification.
 Opponents of the treaty in it's pres ent form lined up generally for the res olution and those supporting the treaty f draft led the opposition. There was no attempt to reach a vote, however. and some senators predicted it would be sew eral days before the preliminary skirm- ish of the treaty fight would come to a decision. The leaders both for and against apparently are feeling their way carefully.
 Senator Johnson of California, repub- lican, author of the resolution, started the debate today with a short speech charging that the treaty supporters had ''something to conceal"
 Tthis assertion drew an indignant re- ply from Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking democrat of the foreign rela- tions committee, who declared the Pres ident was following well-established prec- edent in keeping the treaty text in con- fidence, and that for the Senate to re- quest him to do otherwise would be a gross breach of international proprie- ties"
 LODGE MAKES REPLY
 Republican Leader Lodge, prospective chairman of the foreign relations com mittee, replied to MT. Hitchcock, de- claring there was no impropriety in the resolution unless it were improper ito call attention to the new method of open covenants openly arrived at" Every shopkeeper in Germany, said the Massa- chusetts senator, was reading the treaty as made public at Berlin, yet the Senate was provided only with a worthless official abstract.
 A charge that the republicans were attempting to make the treaty a partisan question was made by Senator Robinson Of Arkansas, democrat, who cited as evil dence the telegram sent by MT. Lodge some weeks ago to republican senators, asking them not to discuss the revised league of nations covenant pending a party conference. The republican leader retorted that the cautionary telegram had no such purpose, and that mot a word" of discussion of the treaty had passed in any of the conferences of republican senators.

MOTORISTS FACE
PROBLEM OF GAS
Automobile and Petroleum Men
Must Get Together in Close
Harmonious Cooperation.
INCREASE IN MOTOR CARS
Said to Be Possible to Construct In
ternal Combustion Engines Which
Will Consume Much Less Fuel
Of Inferior Kind.

"The perennial fuel problem will new
er be solved until the automobile indus
try and the petroleum industry get to-
gether in close and harmonious COOP
Grafton" says Mark l.. Requa, general
director of the oil division of the Unit
ed States fuel administration, in an
interview, which appears in Motor, the
national magazine of motoring.
1.-The motor fuel problem is not only
q possibility of the future" cOntin-
ues Mr.. Requa, "but even an actually
of the present, as will be understood
by anyone who takes the trouble to
make wen the most cursory examina-
ton of the situation. In 1912 our pro-
duction of petroleum was 222, 935, 044
barrels of AZ gallons. In 1916 the out
put of this basic producer of motor
fuel was 300, 767,15S barrels, an in
crea in four years of less than 30
per cent. On the other hand, In 1912
there were about 100000 motor We
hicles in the country, while in 1916 the
motor population of the United States
had risen to 3,541, 73S. This represents
an increase of over 300 per cent in -four
yCdIs. WIN ohc Slut VI I'LL tuuulIOL
growing less than 80 per cent and the
other side increasing more than 300
per cent, the ultimate situation is not
hard to foreshadow.
Engine Uses Less Oil.
II am not an automobile engineer,
so I cannot speak from personal knowl-
edge, but / have been informed that 1t
is possible to design internal combus-
ton engines which will consume much
less fuel per mile than is nov being
ity. If this is a fact and the automo-
bile industry faces the situation in CO.
operation with the oil men to effect
this saving, while these latter are de-
voting their best effort to increasing
production, 1t would seem that we
might cut enough Off each end of our
problem to solve 1t.
"We seem to be only at the begin
ming of the gasoline era a few years
ago gasoline was a wasted by-product;
today it is the most important product
of petroleum, amounting to almost so
per cent of the total value of petroleum
products. With the record of the past
as a guide, 1t would seem that the two
great industries so interdependent up
on each other should cooperate in
bringing about the most efficient con-
sumption of gasoline and the most in
telligent understanding of each others
problems"

KEEP DAIRY cows ON FARM
For Farmer Who Has Good Market
for Products Dairying Is Most
Profitable Business.

Keeping dairy cows will help the
average farmer to overcome three
main drawbacks to the one-crop sys-
TEN of farming: A cash income but
once a year, a depleted soil, and I'M
equal distribution Of labor, according
to G. H.. Staples, dairy specialist. ex-
tension division, Louisiana State
university.
"For the farmer who does not have
a ready and accessible market for
dairy products, a few dairy cows will
provide the cheapest and best of hui
nan food for the family" says Mr..
Staples. "The cows will consume
much of the rough feeds that usually
go to waste and the expense of keep
Ing them is almost negligible.
"For the farmer who has a good
market for dairy products dairying is
a most profitable business, is always
a safe and sound line of farming, is
least affected by sudden changes of
weather and seasons, gives a steady
cash income, builds up the soil, and
provides employment for labor at ali
seasons"

DELICATE CAR DOOR POCKETS
Wooden Strips May Be Securely Fast.
ened by Using Blue, Round
headed Screws.

Many cars are afflicted with deli
cate" door pockets, those which are
made of inferior material or are i'm
properly fastened. These are apt to
tear loose at the corners since they are
merely tackled on wooden strips at
tached to the door. When this hap
pens they may be securely fastened
by using round-headed screws, which
should have blued heads when the ma
terial is black. These same screws
can be used to advantage in fastening
the linoleum flooring to the boards,
especially at the corners.

HANDLE BATTERY WITH CARE
rent and Keep Engine Tuned
to Start on Second Turn.

The man who has trouble keeping
his battery charged will find that diff
ficulty largely can be overcome by
careful handling. In other words, he
should economic on current. He
should keep his engine tuned up so
hal it starts on the second or third
turn. Thus he can minimize the
amount of current used in starting,
and, remember, this is very large. The
current required is 200 to 600 times
as much as required by an ordinary
16-candle power house light.
He should also be economical with
his lights. He should use his head
lights only when absolutely necessary.
He should determine the car speed
at which his cutout relay makes con-
nection with the battery and operate
the car as much as possible above this
speed.
If he drives much in a congested
city district and stops his engine many
times he will find that his battery can
be kept more nearly charged by chang
ing gears in traffic whenever neces-
sary instead of trying to do it all on
high gear. the reason being that by
changing gears he boosts his engine
speed so that his battery is charged,
while If he tried to pull slowly on
high he gets down to a speed at which
charging stops due to the opening of
the cut out.
