Provided That nothing contained
In this resolution shall be held to al
ter or repeal any Of the provisions of
said resolution of July Is, 1918, except
that provision of same which provides
that said government supervision,
control possession or operation shall
not extend beyond the date of the
proclamation Of the President of ex-
change Of ratification of the treaty of
peace"
Failure to mention the cables in
the new resolution has given rise
to doubt as to it's effect on cable
control. Members Of the committee
differ as to whether or not the CABLE
companies come under the provi-
sions OF the resolution.
In appealing for extension of gov
ernment control, Mr.. Burleson de-
clared that the telegraph and tele-
phone companies would face bank
ruptcy unless Congress speedily re-
Heyed the uncertainty which now
characterizes the period of govern
ment control. He urged that a date
for expiration of government con-
troll be fixed sufficiently distant to
permit the companies to readtust
themselves to peace conditions.
Reads Company's Protest.
Mr.. Madden put into the record
two letters. One was from Clarence
H. Mackay. president of the Postal
Telegraph and Gable Company, to
Union N. Bethel. now of the Post
office Departments wire control
committee, saying that the Postal
Company would put in effect the
advanced rates only under protest
He held that the increases were in
violation of some of the State
statutes.
The other letter was from George
w. Ward. vice president of the
Commercial Gable Company, to Mr..
Burleson. 1t stated that the Brit
ish government "forbids our placing
the Commercial Cable Company or
its cables under control of its COM
petitor, the Western Union Tele-
graph Company" The Postmaster
General was asked for instructions.
In a reply to this latter letter,
made public last night, the Post
master General said this govern
ment was controlling only those
properties within it's Jurisdiction
and that he had no instructions to
issue to Mr.. Ward with regard to
any requirements of the British gov
ernment.

tify as to the expedients to which
they were forced to live on their

$50 a month for twenty-five years.
Thank God we have no children
he ended. Other cases were cited of
employees who were receiving $50 a
month fer ten hours work a day.
Statistical aspects of the situation
were explained by economic experts,
who have made the matter the SUB
ject of lifelong study.
"A family of five can not live on
less than $500 a year" Mr.. Ogburn
declared. and added that these fig
| ures were the result of careful study
made in all parts of the United States.

cally and mentally fit it is necessary

REMOVE WARS SCARS
France Has Already Rebuilt
10000 Houses.
Much Of Railroad and Canal Systems
Have Been Put Into
Shape Again.

Capt. Andre Tardieu, member Of the
French Peace commission, has given
interesting figures on the reconstruc-
tion work accomplished since the armi-
stice. Sixty thousand of the $4,000
houses wrecked by Shell-fire have been
rebuilt; 2016 kilometers of the 3,246
kilometers of railway destroyed have
been repaired and 700 of the 1878 Kill
ometers of canals rendered useless are
again in commission. OF the 1,16O
plants destroyed, 5SS have been re-
paired.
Equally remarkable progress is be-
ing made in restoring to cultivation
In the devastated regions the vast
areas which the end Of the war left

braced 100000 acres. Of this ap-

/ from China. Large quantities of pow
dered eggs are shipped into the Unit
ted States from China for use by COM
mercial bakers. These include pow
dered white of egg, powdered yolk of
egg and powdered whole egg These
preparations are made by drying and
powdering the eggs as taken from the
shells. Egg powders will keep for
long time, can be shipped econom-
ically and, when properly prepared
! from fresh eggs, can be used to take
1 the place of shell eggs in baking. Pow
dered eggs should never be confused
with the so-caIled egg substitutes"
which contain little or no egg, ana
which will not serve the purpose Of
eggs in baking.
| Examination of the egg powders i'm
ported from China showed that they
contain zinc, varying from mere
trace to quantities sufficient to re-
lquire the exclusion of some of the
shipments from entry into this coun-
TRY. Investigation developed that the
zinc in the egg powder was acquired
in the process of manufacture, either
from zinc-lined trays or zinc belts
used in the drying of the eggs.
AS result of the exclusion of some
of the shipments to this country, many
manufacturers in China have so
changed the process of manufacture as
to produce dried eggs, yolk and al
bumen free from zinc, and the indica-
lions are that they will soon be able
to supply the demands for these prod
ucts used in increasing quantities by
bakers and manufacturers of bakers
supplies. The federal food and drug
act gives no authority to the depart
ment of agriculture to prescribe the
methods that must be used in the man
ufacture of food or drugs either In
this or in foreign countries. row
ever, it is sometimes necessary for
manufacturers to change their meth
DDS of manufacture, as in the instance
above noted, in order to bring their
finished product within the require
ments of the act.

HOPE TO CLEAR SEA MYSTERY
Cuban Expedition Will Explore Wreck
Of Spanish Ship on Which
$50 Died.

Miami, Fla.-Hope that the mystery
surrounding the loss of the Spanish
steamer Valbanera with its crew and
passengers, totaling $50 persons, may
be cleared up soon has been revived
by reports that Cuban expedition
will explore the wreck off Rebecca
shoals.
The American government, accord
ing to the report has been asked for
permission to salvage the valuable
cargo of wines and liquors and other
merchandise. No report of the find
ing of bodies from the Valbanera has
been verified. The theory in Havana
is that the vessel was cut in half when
it struck a reef, explaining why no
lifeboats were launched.

New York SIeuth Finds Jewels In

New York.-Clever work on the part
of Detective Sergeants Joseph Leonard
and Thomas Appel solved a robbery
which might otherwise have remained
on the record as the great false teeth
mystery"
James X. Andrews, a banker, dis
covered that set of false teeth which
he recently installed did not function
with the celebrity promised by his den
fist. Mrs. Andrews started with them
to the dentist for adjustment.
Mrs. Andrews had the teeth in her
pocketbook along with $75 in bills.
AS she was leaving the apartment the
bell rang. Mrs. Andrews placed the
pOcketbook on a nearby couch az
maid opened the door and admitted
stranger, who announced that he
was there to repair an awning.
Mrs. Andrews went to an adjoining
room, but when she returned the peck
etbook with the SIS and the artificial
masticators had disappeared. She tel
ephoned for the detectives.
Telephones for Detectives.
They responded with alacrity and
after listening to Mrs. Andrews story
of the vanishing of the false teeth,
resorted to the old Sherlock Holmes
system of deduction. Footprints on
the Persian rugs of the Andrews
apartment revealed that the awning
repairer had found it imperative to
change the scene Of his operations to
another apartment in the house. There
they went.
Drawing his highly polished nickel
watch from his vest pocket, Detective
Leonard placed it against the awning
mans chest and, in a voice marked
for the profundity Of its tone, said
"Aha! What have we here?'
tWhere?" asked the awning man, as
Stunning an air of nonchalance.

a handful Of glittering jewelry.

he was Charles Langfelder of SO Wal

court, where he denied all.
'Your Honor, we have a clue to the
false teeth" said the detectives in
chorus. Hold him for few minutes,

They hurried back to the apartment
house, where they found the pocket
book and the teeth in an ash barrel.
Langfelder was then held in $1,000

jury.
