THINK Of THE
MONEY YOU CAN
SAVE ON SHOES

Clarence ]. Bloenker Of St. Louis.
Missouri. writes. Il have a PAIR OF
shoes with Neoiin Soles and have USED
them for two years 1 think they will
last another SIX months"
Mr.. Bloenker also recommends
Neolin Soles for their comfort and
waterproofness.
It is a remarkable fact that Neolin
Soies cost no more than Others that
give only ordinary wear. You can
get them ON new shoes IN many styles
for men, women. and cmldren-and
they are available everywhere Tor re-
soiing, too.
And look at the money YOU save
because you need fewer pairs OF shoes
with Neolin Soies. RemembG-these
soles are made by Science to be espe-
c;ally tough and durable. They are
manufactured by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co. of Akron. O1io. who also
make Wingfoot Heeis-guaranfeed to

IS WIDENED BY
MORGAN BILL
Author Of Seizure Measure
Refuses to Recede and
Disafection Grows.
LIBERALS" LOSE HOPE
Kitchin Told by Speaker
Point Of Order is Needed
To Recommit Act.

The disagreement among the House
"drys" growing out Of the announced
intention OF Representative Morgan
to push an amendment to the prohi-
bition enforcement bill to prevent the
retention of liquors stored in private
homes became more pronounced.
Mr.. Morgan refused to yield to pres
sure brought to bear upon him by
the conservative ''drys" to give up
his plan. and declared he will insist
upon a vote on his amendment. The
conservatives then went to work to
devise some scheme whereby it may
be possible to keep the Morgan
amendment from coming to a vote.
The conservative "drys" will be
placed in most embarrassing position
by the Morgan amendment. They do
not want to assume the attitude of
opposing a proposal which tends to
make for absolute prohibition, but
on the other hand they fear that
IL such a provision should be m
cluded in the bill it might make the

Surplus Army Supplies
Reach d. c. in 9 Trucks;
May Be Sold TOMORROW
Failure to Provide Transportation of Food to
Schools Results in Limiting Selling
Points to Three Markets.

Nine trucks of the Motor Trans
port Corps, laden with washington's
first shipment Of surplus army food.
arrived yesterday afternoon shortly
after o'clock. The trucks started
from Baltimore at 1 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
MAJ. r. E. Squier. commanding the
squadron of trucks. was greeted on
his arrival by District Commissioner
w. Gwynn Gardiner, John G. Nc
Grath. who Is in charge of the dis
tribution of the. food here; Repre-
sentative william B. oliver and e.
J. Ward. of the Board OF Educa-
tion.
The food was stored in two large
storerooms Of the market.
Distribution. it is announced def
initely by Mr.. McGrath. will not be-
gin until tomorrow. at the earliest.
So many orders have been received
for the food. he said. that he feared
there would not be enough in the
shipment to satisfy the demands of
all.
Plans for an equitable distribu-
ton of food. laid at a meeting of
the community secretaries of the
city and a number of persons inter-
ested in the buying pro-
ject at the District Building yester-
day resulted in the announcement
that distribution would be at the
Eastern Market. Seventh and C
streets southeast; Western Market.
Twenty-frst and K streets north
west and fish market. Seventh and
Water streets southwest only. as
the schools in which community
centers are located. signified no in
tention of providing transportation
from the markets to the schools.
A resolution. introduced by E. J.
Ward. specialist in community or
ganization for the Bureau of Edu-
canton, was adopted unanimously.
The resolution provided for the i'm
mediate creation by appropriate
Congressional action" of the pub
lie ONCE of General Agent for Food
Distribution. with which TIE Dis
trict Commissioner. Board OF Edu-
cation and Postofice Department
are directed to cooperate. ito the
end that producer and consumer
may be brought into a relation OF
direct dealing, in order that the
distribution of food supplies. and so
the cost OF living may be reduced.
A second meeting of those who
attended yesterdays gathering is
scheduled to take place Monday in
the District Building. The purpose
of the Monday meeting is to give
deeper consideration to the possi-
bilities of establishing a perma-
nent community-buying plan in the
District.
The shipment contains, in all. 81
100 pounds. All of this will not be
offered for sale to everyone. how

RUSS BLOCKADE
PROVES PUZZLE
Question in All Probability
Will Be Referred to
President Wilson.

Paris. July ls.-The question Of how
a blockade can be maintained against
Russia when the allies are not SUD-
posed TO be at war with her will be
referred TO President Wilson. il was
learned today before the American
Commission viii 60 on record in the
present discussion.
II has been proposed that no ships
be permitted TO enter the Gulf OF
Finland without special permits, while
Gen. Deniken, nti-Bolshevik leader in
the south. could declare a blockade on
the Black Sea.
The United States has insisted that
no blockade existed against Russia
except as she was affected by the
barrier around Germany. 1t now sp-
pears there is some desire to make
the blockade a real one, especially
since it appears uncertain whether
Admiral Kolchak will be able to CAP
ture Petrograd. The matter will be
referred to the President as a matter
of high policy.

Nolan Minimum, Wage
Bill Is Ready for Vote
With Victory Indicated
Rejection of Good Amendment, 273 to 81
Held by U. S. Employees to Presage
Complete Triumph.

fought vigorously for a deciding vote
before the House adjourned for the
day.
The Good amendment. attached to
the bill last session. was defeated
by q vote Of 273 to 81, much to the
delight of the representatives Of the
Federal employees. who centered
their fight on 1t.
The amendment provided that
employees. who under the Nolan bill
received a $3.50 salary increase,
should not receive the $40 bonus
granted last year.
Representative Montague offered
an amendment excluding employees
of members of Congress, on the
ground that such matters should be
left to the members themselves. 1t
was defeated.
Ban Postal Service.
Immediately following the open
ing of discussion on the bill. Rep
resentative Field moved an amend
ment including the postal service
and Representative Black offered a
substitute excluding fourth class
postal authorities. Both were re-
jected.
Efforts OF Representative Jones
to fx the. minimum wage for fourth
class postmasters at s720. exclusive
of the $40 bonus. also were defeat
ed. overwhelmingly.
The Jones amendment was sup
ported by Representative Upshaw.
who charged that country postal au-
thorities were being neglected to the
detriment of the postal service.
During the lengthy discussion of
the measure the galleries were
packed with representatives of the
employees. who vigorously applaud
ed bits of debate that met their
approval and greeted with chilling
silence efforts to defeat or change
the bill.
No Party Lines.
Members of the House voted on
the matter regardless of party af-
hliations. the measure apparently
having as many friends and enemies
in the Democratic side as it did on
the Republican.
Representative Nolan said last night
he was confident the bill would meet
with little opposition when il comes
up for final vote. 1t is scheduled
to be taken up Immediately follow
| ing the disposal of the prohibition
enforcement bill, in all probability
i1ate this week.
Oficials OF the National Federation
OF Federal Employees declared the re-
lection of the Good amendment indi-
Gates that the bill itself will pass
the House by an overwhelming ma
jority.
