Polish Men and Women Ex- press Gratitude To
 America.

Warsaw, Thursday, Aug 14-(By A. P.)-Men and women representing the socialist party in Poland, accom- panied by the Minister of Labor, call ed on Herbert Hoover, chairman of the Allied Relief Organizat tion, today, and presented a memorial.
 Please present to the American people" the memorial said, "our feel ing of gratitude. But for America, we would have not been able to pull through the last six months We pledge ourselves to devote our strength to the orderly upbuilding of a stable government.
 We are not Bolshevik, but are patriotic thinking people who know that our ideals of democracy are best served by preparing the minds of the masses for the responsibilities of a socialist government and that such progress only is sound when accom- plished by the votes of any intelli- gent majority.
 we know the difficulties and de- privations through which the Polish republic must pass during the next year and will endeavor to live up to your slogan of full production on farms and in coal mines and factor ies. We must beg our American brothers in democracy to have pa tience with us and not to remove their support until we can get on our feet. Give us just one more year of credits and other active sympathy and we will emerge a strong self re- specting nation prepared to face the world alone"

 PRESIDENTIAL
 OILS DEGREES

Mexico City, Friday. Aug. 15-- Writs asked for by foreign oil in terests were placed at the head of the calendar by the Supreme Court to- day, the justices voting unanimous y to give them a status of urgent inn portance. A committee of three justices was named to classify vari- ous petitions which have been ap- pealed from lower courts to the Su- preme Tribunal so that the full bench can begin an immediate study of the legal points invested in the various petitions. The number of petitions which will be considered by the court is 66 up to the present. It is stated that this consideration will begin within the next fifteen days.
 Should the Supreme Court grant the writs petitioned for by the for eign companies, Presidential oils de- crees against which the oil interests are fighting, would be suspended and the petroleum situation would remain in status quo until congress acts on pending legislation. The action of the Supreme Court. together with the decision of the Senate to begin work on petroleum legislation without waiting for similar action by the Chamber of Deputies, has encouraged the hope that an international crisis can be averted.

WOULD SET BAR
 AGAINST INFLUX OF FOREIGN LABOR
Sen. Dillingham's Bill Cuts Immigration From South
 ern and Eastern Europe.

Washington, August .15.--A definite limit to the admission of undesirable laborers from Southern and Eastern Europe is fixed in bill introduced today by Senator Dillingham;, former Chairman of the Immigration Con- mittee and head of the United States Immigration Commission. The great influx of this element prior to the war created much concern. and this measure is intended to prevent a re- currence of those conditions
 It is held that the proposed legis- lation would not materially interfere with the normal flow of immigrants from Northwestern Europe. The Asiatic exclusion laws also are af- fected by the bill as offered
 The bNl provides that after July 1, 1920. the number of aliens of any na-
 tionality who may be admitted to the country in any fiscal year shall be
 limited to per cent. of the number of persons of such nationality all ] ready here. The proposed restriction however, does not apply to immi- grants who are natives of countries | of the Western Hemisphere.
 The bill provides for the repeal oi l all special laws directly or indirectly
 relating to immigration from China Japan and other Oriental countries | including the Chinese Exclusion Law | the passport provision of which is the basis of the "gentlemen's agreement
 now existing with Japan, and the i provision of the Immigration Act o1 1917 which denies admission to i'm | migrants from certain portions ot | Asia and adjacent islands.

 number of Asietics now in the coun- I try, the number of immigrants ad.

 plan will not exceed the average an.
 nual immigration from that source l under the various exclusion laws
 treaties and agreements now in force l While it is believed that the pei
 cent. limit would. tend to improve re
 lations with Oriental countries, ana
 especially with Japan, by removing

 vailed prior to the war and which tn,

NEW YEAR
 FOR BEES

New Years day for the beekeeper is Aug. 15, according to L. B. Gran dall, bee specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs.
 At that time. according to Mir. CrandaH, preparations must be made Bees that emerge before August 15 brood rearing next spring is depend ent upon eggs laid after that date. An old queen or one lacking in vigor at this time will fail to lay suf- ficient eggs to produce a strong win colony that will produce the maxI- mum honey crop next summer.
 Another advantage pointed out by MT. Crandall is that colonies headed by young queens introduced at this time of the year are much less likely to swarm next season. Swarm pre- vention Is very important to the bee keeper who wishes to produce honey rather than bees. A colony which builds up strong in the spring and does not swarm will produce a large crop of honey. A colony which is divided during the honey flow, either by swarming or some other means will produce considerably less honey in two parts than it would have done if undivided The problem is to ge, maximum strength without swarming A vigorous young queen introduced about the middle of August each year is one of the chief factors In preventing this difficulty.

REED SAYS HIGH COSTS JUSTIFIED BY BIG DEMANDS
Says Remedies Being Pro- posed Are Artificial and Create Trouble.
NUMBER OF DOLLARS
 NOW IN CIRCULATION
Believes Economical Situa tion Would Naturally Ad-
 just Itself.

Washington, Aug. 15.-High cost of living is the result of operation of fundamental and immutible laws and lower living costs will come, to a large
 degree, only from operation of these
 natural laws, Senator Reed, Demo-
 crat, of Missouri, declared in an ad-
 dress in the Senate today.
 Many of the remedies being pro- posed to reduce living costs, Senator
 Reed asserted, are futile because
 they are artificial and designed to
 disturb operation of natural economic
 tendencies. Increase in production,
 the Missouri Senator declared, would
 be the greatest factor toward reduc-
 ing prices.
 There are two great principles in economies and finance which cannot
 be described and no amount of legis-
 lation can effectively control" said MT. Reed First, whenever the de- mand for any great necessity mater ially exceeds the supply, an increase in price is inevitable. Conversely, when the supply exceeds the demand,
 a decrease in price follows. The lat ter condition may be temporarily effected by combinations artificially withholding the supply and controll- ing the market But, no combination of men and no decrees of government have ever been able to transmit de ficiency into plenty or to remove the natural longings for a necessary ar | ticle which cannot be obtained. Second, a radical increase in the number dollars in circulation result: | in a decrease in the purchasing power of the dollars.
 Any device, plan or scheme, there l fore. which will have a tendency tC lessen production, to discourage en- ] terprise or to arrest industry, will. in. stead of bringing lower prices, in crease present excess prices, by un l der production
 | The war, Senator Reed said, stopped | production throughout the world tC large extent, except for articles need | ed in its prosecution. With the end | of the war, the natural result Is in ! creased demand before production
 can be brought up to normal. "All this is elementary and obvious but in crisis like that which nov l confronts us, even the wisdom O. 1 statesmen is likely 10 overlook thu l obvious" MT. Reed observed. ''Th'
 raise the price in the United States ha: | been made to all of the people of the United States, all of them being con ] sumers. Likewise the benefits O.
 high prices have been in part distri
 buted to nearly all of the people O. | the United States, for nearly all o. | them are producers"

Washington, Aug. 16-Gene~al in cost of living during the period from December 1914, to June, 1919, were shown in tables made public here to- day by the Department of Labor. The tables were based on investigations in various representative cities over the country. In every instance great est increases were recorded in the prices of clothing and house furnish ings. Food advances were of third importance Figures for the period December 1917 to June 1919, show general average increases of about 20 per cent Food and clothing. from December, 1914. to June. 1919, ad- vanced 157 per cent. in Chicago, 137 per cent. in Boston, l 5l per cent. in New York and 135 per cent. in Phil adelphia.
 Smaller increases in such things as housing, fuel and light and miscel- laneous items lowered the general average increase. general percentages being: Boston 72; New York 79. Philadelphia 76; Chicago "A.

420,OOO,OOO PENNIES MADE
 SINCE JAN. 1

Philadelphia. Aug. 16.-Approxi- mately APO, O,OO0,O 900 pennies have been made by the Philadelphia Mint since the beginning of the year, and despite this enormous rate of output it is not adequate to meet the demand for copper war tax checks" as the pen nies are called.
 This information was contained in a statement made by Superintendent of the Mint Adam M. Joyce, who blamed the various war tax necessi- ties for the shortage.
 Even though we're working twen- ty-four hours a day at the mint v MT. Joyce said, Eve cannot keep up with the demands of the United Staees Treasurer for pennies"
 Superintendent Joyce planes the war tax for the shortage. All the hints in the country are working on pennies to overcome the shortage" he said.
 Asked the cause for the inadequate srpplv of pennies. MT. Joyce said: 'I think 1t is due mainly to the war tax On nearly every transaction, you have to pay a war tax of from one to'four cents, and the people who get the war tax let it accumulate before handing 1t over to the Government.
 That is the real cause for the shortage. I think. I know that there is A shortage because the mint can't keen up with the demand of the Treasurer
 Of course, the demand for pennies has grown greatly since the putting of penny taxes on "lollypops." ice cream sodas. movie tickets and the like, but even this additional drain upon the supply of pennies should uot,under ordinary circumstances, swallow up all of the pennies the Government hints have made. Since it first be- gan to coin money, in the time of the Revolutionary. War, one-tenth of all the coins made in the United States were one-cent pieces.
 The total value of pennies made to date is more than s5,0oO, 100000. And vet, at the last report of the Treasur- CT. the Government had in all of its depositories only about s10T,000 in pennies.
 Last year the hints turned out ap- proximateIy 3s0 100000 pennies. At present the four hints are turning out in the neighborhood of hundred million pennies a month
 Superintendent Joyce said that the Philadelphia mint was making be- tween 1.5Oo,oOo and 100000 pen nIee per day. This would make a total for a month of thirty days of about eO,0oO.O00 pennies For the seven months since the beginning of 1919 the approximate total is APO. 900, 900 pennies, or a total of s4. 100000. The pennies are put at the disposal of the United States Treas urer as fast as they are turned oui Aat the mint here.

MAKE PROVISION
 FOR MININUM
 INCOME FOR ALL

London, Aug. 7.---(Correspondenc of the A. P)---The latest thing in the la bor program of social reform is pro- vision for a minimum income for every man, woman and child Under the scheme, which is fathered by Arthur Henderson, Secretary of the Labor Party, and c. D. H. Cole, attached to the Research Department, 20 per cent. of all incomes would be nationalized at the source and paid in a pool which would be devoted solely to the provision of a permanent week ly income of s2.25 a week to every body.
 In this way, the sponsors of the plan say it is hoped not merely to free the country from the future payment of old age pensions, but of most, if not all, of the national and private agen- cies for the distribution of relief.

Cantigny'S Captors On
 Way Home
American First Division Long Overseas Left
 Yesterday.
NEW HIGH COMMAND
 ON EASTERN FRONT

Coblenz, Thursday, Aug. 1.-The American first division, the first di- vision to land in France and the cap tors of Cantgny. will begin leaving the Rhine for home tomorrow. The taking of Cantigny, in the Montdidier sector. was made in the first attack by an American division of the west ern front. It Is expected that all the troops to leave will have arrived at Brest within a week.
 The Coblenz bridgehead, which has been held by the first division since
 the departure of the second, will be taken care of by French troops and the Eighth Infantry regiment of the American army, which will remain on the Rhine for several years. The Eighth Infantry occupies the south ern half of the bridgehead, which has been under American control since last December '13, when the first American troops crossed the Rhine.
 The Americans will retain control o1 Coblenz, of the fortress of Ehren- breitstein and of the castle of Mole berge, the outermost point ot the bridgehead.
 According to information in the hands of American army officers, ii appears that the retirement of Field Marshal Hindenburg announced some time ago and the simultaneous disso- lution of the German army General Headquarters early in July does not
 mean the end of a, single command on the eastern front. A new high com mand for the eastern front has been established to take the place of the General Headquarters.
 The German general headquarter: I moved to Kolberg on the Baltic in tho | spring and exercised command only | over the district along the eastern front.
