ANSWERS QUESTIONS WITH
 REGARD TO PEACE
McComber Argues for Sup port of League of Nations
 Covenant.

Washington. March 3.-In the course of his remarks Senator Me Cumber replied to questions of Sena- tors Jones, of Washington, anG Smith of Michigan, republicans Senator McCumber explained what effect he thought the league would have upon Americas relations with Mexico and upon the Monroe doctrine
 Under the proposed constitution it would be necessary to submit to in quiry. all questions that might arise between nations, said Senator Me- Cumber. But to arbitration only those which any nations desired. He said arbitration was not made compulsory.
 All this document does is to pre- vent one nation from making a war of aggression against another.' he said. "No one can claim we are in danger when it is provided that if we are unjustly attacked every other nation must come to our aid"
 Wouldn't it, be better to exclude purely domestic questions from those to be submitted. even for inquiry?' asked Senator Jones.
 Provide for Doctrine.
 "I think it would,' replied the North Dakota senator, "and to prevent criticism would also specifically pro- vide that the Monroe doctrine should not be infringed, although I don't think that is necessary
 Senator Jones expressed agreement with the views.
 Senator Smith asked what would ho in, Cfnfn should withdraw from the league leav- ing. all other nations of the western hemisphere as members. among which dispute might arise.
 Would not the dispute be settled by the league without reference to the United States?' asked Senator Smith.
 of America die not belong we would not be bound by anything" re- piled Senator McCumber. But the league constitution says that the keep hands off policy of the Monroe doc Urine shall be applied to the whole world"
 Would Block War.
 Senator Smith suggested that the case ill "cold storage for three months in the event of trouble with Mexico.
 .''We bind ourselves not to make an aggressive war on Mexico,' replied Senator McCumber. "but if we are at tackled by Mexico. we are not bound not to take steps to defend ourselves" ,"
 He added that bandit raid could not be considered as an act of war if it was not conducted by a government
 That would depend on who was president" responded Senator Smith

CITY FATHERS HOLD DISCOURSE
 OVER CHICKENS
Many Complaints Heard From Prominent Citizens
 Who Ask Aid.

Among other things which came up for discussion at the meeting of th, city council last night was that of chickens"
 And the mayor himself initiated the discussion.
 Il know il has come to the n0i,e of the city council.' he said "anl have not Cnly noticed it myself, hut have had numerous complaints from good citizens of the town, about the mdlscrlminate running loose of the chickens of the town.
 Now of coure we have raYious sections, and ordinances which con trol the movements of these ille&al proceedings, but it seems that they are not being enforced
 You all know that the off,nse has been made highly punishable for eer- tain illegal and shameful acts Wnich the "chickens' are wont to practice, and l for one would like to see ;nis council go on record as being in every sense opposed to such things, 2nl to stand for strict observance of the or dinances and sections which r29uIa'e such things
 General Discussion.
 A general discussion followed lie mayors words, in which all of the members of the council agreed most heartily with the mayors views
 Alderman McBryde with his chasae- terinstic way of getting directly ;t an issue, said, Il have noticed the ilIe- gal practices of which the mayor has spoken, and l have had a 1umLer of law-abiding, self-respectine Clti- Zens speak to me about the matter It should be controlled
 ''Especially is it most noticeable in the spring and summer" he finished.
 "Of course" said Alderman McGib- bony, "I am not without observation on the matted and more than that can speak from experience about the outrageous conduct of the
 He was interrupted hy Alderman Means who insisted that the discus sion become less personal, and mose to legal point of view.
 Laws Are Ample.
 Alderman Clement insisted that there were laws to govern the situa- tion. and declared that they should be enforced.
 Gentlemen" said Mayor Bloom, q have listened to your discussions, and am glad to know that this council is heal!tily against the practices and abuses which have been mentioned.
 ''As fond as l am of chicken c"n- not tolerate the sight of buncl of chickens scratching up nice garden which some man has planted. It is not right. According to the law, citizens who raise chickens must keep them penned up, and it is violation for a persons chickens to scratch up the garden or flower bed of some neigh Dor. The trouble is our law is not stringent enough
 Alderman Miller then made a mo- tion that the owners of chickens which scratched up, or otherwise cre- ated nuisance on the garden or flow CT beds, etc, of neighbor be fined. The motion was amended to read call kinds of fowls"
 After the motion was passed, AL derman Miller looked at the council with rather queer, puzzled look, and

 his resolution republican leaders cir culated a pledge of support which was to be held in reserve in the event that no action was had on the resolution
 It was said tonight that this pledge had the signatures of 34 senator's elect to the new congress. One re-
 publican leader also made the state
 ment that support of 40 republican members had been promised.
 . Hope for Democratic Support.
 No republicans whose terms expire
 tomorrow, and no democrats, it was
 said, were being used to sign the dec
 laratiOn of adherenre. If the reso- lution is brought to vote, however, the republican leaders hope to se- cure the support of several demo- crats who are known to oppose the tentative league draft.
 The resolution. prepared by Sena- tor Lodge, wss the crystalized result of many conferences late today be- tween republicans-a movement ini'
 ated, it was reported, by the repub- lican leader with the cooperation of Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. It also
 was in lieu of a more lengthy declar- alton which previously has been cir culated. demanding amendment of the
 league constitution so as to specifical- ly provide for preservation of the Mon
 roo dostrine and other fundamental American principles. e.
 As result of the republican con ferences, however. the resolution was
 ~c tion to the league charter as now framed and in favor of hastenins the peace treaty.
 Expect. Defeat.
 If the resolution should be defeat ed and the republicans felt that it
 probably would be. minority leaders said they believed the alternative
 statement with the signatures or more than third of the ratifying bondy
 appended, would serve the purpose of informing the peace conference and the country of,the views of more than one third of the members of the new senate which will pass on the peace treaty and the league constitution.

 and on President Wilson for pro posing it. Senator McCumber made an address of more than four hours in which he took issue with the tenor of recent republican criticisms while suggesting amendment of the tenta- tive charter.
 Spencer Speaks.
 A brief address also was made by Senator Spencer of Missouri, repub- lican, who urged amendment of tho league constitution so as to eclude xanything that implies relinquishment of American policies, including the Monroe doctrne.
 Democratic senators criticised the republicans for occupying so much time with discussion of the league while appropriation bills were being pressed. Minor spokesmell replied that tlfe subject was of paramount interest and I that President Wilson had only re- gently resented the league plan. and | also had requested that debate be Edeferred until few days ago. il

MR. FAMILY MAN,:
Why Spend So Much Money on Shoes?

Here is what Tracy Munson of Joplin, Missouri, says of Nc0lin Socs: Judging from my own cx- pcrlcnce. they wear four times longer than other soles and have the addi- ilonal advantage of being waterproof and slip-proof."
 Why continue to wear extravagant old-fashioned soles when you can get these money-saving. long wearing soles on new shoes in any style you like for any member Of the family? Good shoe stores everywhere carry them.
 And don't throw away your old shoes. Have them re-bottomed with Ne6lin Soles and enjoy the comfort of a re-soled shoe which is not stiff or clumsy. Ncolin Soles are a dis covcry of Science. and are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Akron, Ohio. who also make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

dropped behind the prescription coun- ter. Wholesale druggists called their salesmen off the road to help fill or ders-hundreds wired us to ship Vlck's VapoRub by the quickest route, regardless of expense.
 A TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE
 OUR PRODUCTION.
 In this emergency We have tried to do our part. We secured the country for raw materials-our Traffic Man ager spent his days riding freight cars in-we shipped raw materials in carload lots by express and pleaded with manufacturers to increase their deliveries to us.
 But it was a slow process. Some of our raw materials are produced only in Japan-supplies in this coun- try were low and shipments required three months to come from the Far East. Then we had to recruit and train skilled labor. We brought our salesmen into the factory and train ed them as foremen. We invented new machinery, and managed to in- stall it on Christmas day, so as not to interfere with our daily produc- tiOn.
 143 JARS OF VAPORUB EVERY
 MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT.
 By January 1st we had everything ready to put on our night shirt, and since then our laboratory has been running day and night. To feed our automatic machines, which drop out one hundred and forty three jars of VapoRub minute or one million and eighty thousand weekly, has required a force of 300 people. Our Cafe De- partment. created for the benefit of these workers, served 1000 meals dur ing the month of January alone. 13 MILLION JARS OF yAPORUB
 DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER.
 An idea of the work we have ac- complished this Fall may be given by our production figures-13, 2S.976 jars of VapoRub manufactured and distrib- uted since last October-one jar for every two families. ill the entire United States.
