JOHN BARTON PAYNE SUcCEEDS Lane

John Barton Payne OF Chicago, is
doubly in the limelight-or in two
spotlights. He is to be President Will
sons new secretary Of the interior,
succeeding Franklin K Lane. Mr..
Payne has served as chairman of the
shipping board since last August, pre-
viously being general counsel Of the
railroad administration.
Mr.. Payne's appointment came as
q surprise and attracted more than
usual attention because of the manner
in which he has been brought into the
limelight in connection with the sale
Of former German passenger ships.
Mr.. Payne said that he would, Of
course, accept the appointment If con-
hrmed by the senate, but that he had
requested the president to allow him
to remain where oe was until the Ger
man ships were sold. He ALSO de-

The Earth,e Crust.

The most important scientific inves-
tigation Of the last year in any coun-
try has probably been the attempt to
measure the earth's crust. We know
very little about the shell on which we
live. Scientists have been studying the
problem in Hawaii. Tuscany and In
Salvador, where the opportunities for
Investigation. are especially favorable.
Much data new to science has been
collected concerning the shell. it's COM
position and probable age. Still other
tests have been made in New South
Wales, where great reservoir concen-
trates an immense weight of water on
a limited area. and instruments have
been devised to measure the movement
Of the earth's crust under this weight.
New light has thus been thrown on
the action Of volcanoes.-Boys' Life.

DEFENDS M|L|TANCY
Will Always Be Necessary, Mrs.
Pethick Lawrence Tells
Woman's Party.

1t is the duty of the mothers OF the
world to insist upon universal and
immediate disarmament.
This was the keynote OF an address
delivered by Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence,
English militant sufrragist, at a meet
ing yesterday Of the National Wom-
ans Party.
Defending militancy as a method,
Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence said: II am
not sure that the day will ever come
when there Is no need for militancy
such as the Woman's Party uses. But
women have reason to be proud that
through their struggle all these CEN
turtles they have never hurt single
human being. Woman's militancy
never meant hurting anyone. but
merely knowing what you want and
being determined to get it."
There Is a great deal to be said for
men and women working together po-
litically, according to the speaker.
but there 'is at least one question
which must interest women as wom-
en- and that is the abolition of war
We in Europe are living under the
menace of a war more terrible than
we have ever had and only the women
and the workers can end it,"
Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence conferred
with the Womans Party leaders on

rights which will be considered at

URGES CUT IN
CROP COSTS
Hampton Says Country Pays
Too Much for Production
and Marketing.
BY LEE ELLMAkER.


American farmers were today
called upon to evidence their
conception Of public welfare" by
taking immediate steps to reduce
the cost Of production and market
ing, by George p. Hampton, man
aging director Of the farmers ma
tional council.
CAN'T EXPECT sYMPATHY.
Until the farmers attempt TO re-
duce the cost OF production they can
not expect sympathy for their efforts
TO secure immediate extension OF
credit TO meet the present falling
prices. according to Hampton.
Representative OF farmers from all
parts OF the United states will meet
here tomorrow to discuss the present
credit situation and IL is expected mat
Hampton and others Will call upon
them TO indorse drastic methods for
lowering production costs next year.
II Is probable that the labor forces
VIII be asked to join the farmers
In this movement.
'If farmers are to supply Americas
food needs they must receive cost OF
production plus a reasonable profit."
said Hampton today" This year
farmers are paying at least three bill
lion dollars OF unnecessary costs or
production and marketing as tribute
to monopoly interest which can be
eliminated by good strong team work
on the part OF the producers and the
consumers, to the great benent or
both.
ITO eliminate these needless costs,
we must have cheap and available
Ia
public ownership and democratic
operation OF the railroads and mer-
chant marines: direct marketing be-
tween producers and consumers;
termination of farm iand speculation;
legislation to control the meat pack
ing industry; revision of the taxation
system: and the prompt clearing on
OF our enormous National debt
through heavy taxation OF monopoly
and privilege: and. finally, public
ownership and development for use
and not for profits, or the country's
natural resources"
Hampton's statement today fore
casts an interesting session tomorrow
for he declares that 'the farmers must
commit themselves to this full pro-
gram in order TO secure fullest CO.
operation from the consumers to get
needed credit to market their crops
In an orderly way" The program
which Hampton advances. however
has been rejected previously by the
National Board of Farm Organiza-
tions
1t is expected, also, that any efforts
to form a consolidation between the
farmers organizations and labor
groups also will meet with opposition
from the National Board OF Farm
Organizations. which Is prime
mover in the conference to be held
tomorrow.

NEWSPAPERS DIVIDED.
Articles on the death OF McSwiney
occupied much space in this morn
ing's newspapers, regardless of their
political views. The Times. which is
hostile to the governments Irish
pollcy and the Irish Dill prepared by
the cabinet. severely attacks the gov
ernment, especially in the matter Of
reprisals. Referring specifically to
McSwiney, the newspaper expresses
the fear that the effect OF his death
will not be confined to the British
Isles, but il recalls that il has al
ways maintained that the Irish Ques-
tion was essentially British.
While asserting that the Lord
Mayor was misguided, but sincere,
patriot dying for his convictions" the
Morning Post says: I'VE cannot per-
ceive what relation can exist between
suicide and martyrdom, we cannot for
get the many loyal servants OF their
country who have been shot down in
the mere performance of their duty in
Ireland. and for whose memory there
is no metitorious appeal nor fallacious
sentimentality."
The Daily News says that the Gov
ernment imprisoned MacSwiney as a
criminal and converted him into a
martyr. and must bear responsibility
for his death.

clares. ireland is being welded more
