dances, and the refreshments, for their
girl or woman partners at dances. Wo-
men, they assert, are now earning

not pay her. own way. The ultima
tum was published in a Stettin paper,
and reads: HThe dancing ladies world
should pay for itself. The revolution
brought the same rights for man and
woman, AS a result we demand that

- The Federal Land bank in Col
llmbia has been informed that the fed
eral district court at Kansas City has
dismissed the suit attacking the consti.
tiitionality of the federal farm loan
act and the tax exemption of the bonds,
thus in/ effect establishing the validity
OF the act and all of its provisions.
The -censtitutionality of the act was
attacked in a suit filed -bX.-attOrneys-
IN Ibehalf.Of Charles f. Smith, a stock
holder IN the Kansas City Title &
Trust company. The suit was brought
against that company to enjoin ii from
investing its corporate or judiciary
powers of compulsory investigation
funds in farm loan bonds, which ii
was about to do. The plaintiff in the
suit alleged that the company proposed
10 inv&t it's funds largely in farm
loan bonds because it believed them
exempt from every kind of taX-state,
city and federal. The plaintiff, as
director in the company opposed in
vestment as he thought they, were
taxable and that the tax fee clause
of the act was unconstitutional. When
he was outvoted by the board Of direc-
tors, he reSorted TO the courts to test
the question. The conStitutiOnality Of
the act was upheld by the federal court
at Kansas City, according to advicCS
reaching the land bank in Columbia.
A reservation purposing TO safe
guard the nations right to withdraw
from membership in the league OF ma
tions was adopted by the senate last
Saturday, with every republican Sena-
tor and six democrats voting for it
or paired in it's support. Holding th'
whip hand by a safe majority. the re-
publican leaders swept aside every
suggested modification and carried the
reservation through exactly as approx
ed by the foreign relations committee.
Two republican senators of the milo
reservation group led a stubborn fight
TO alter it, hut after they ha failed
voted for adoption. The final count
was so TO S5, and pairs announced for
