OIL WAGONFIRE
BRINGS CROWD
Damage Of $1,000 Caused
By Dropping Of Match
At Filling Station.

Several hundred persons were at
tracted last night by flames from a
tank wagon of the Penn Oil Com
pany, Rosslyn, Va, which caught
fire while on the grounds of a filling
station at Sixth and X streets north :

With the arrival of the fire ap-
paratus, flames from the wagon were
leaping high in the air. Several
streams of water soon extinguished
the flames.

blaze, The fire, according to the po-
lice report. was caused by a man ac-

SLAVS BALKED
BY PLEBISCITE
Plan to Control Routes Be-
tween Central Europe and
Adriatic, Halted.

Rome, Oct. 16.-The result of the
plebiscite in the Klangenfurt re-
gion having turned favorably to the
Austro- Germans against the aspira-
tions of the Jago-Slsvs is the. most
welcome news received here because
it insures freedom in the transit be-
tween Trieste and Central Europe on
the linz through Klagenfurt to VII
emma
By insisting on possession of
Klagenfurt, ugo.Slavia aimed at
commanding all the direct communi-
cations between Central Europe and
the Adriatic. Now, instead, Vienna
will reach the italian coast by a
short route on which none but
Italians and. Austrians win have
control
Advice to be moderate was prof
fered ten days ago to the Belgrade
government by the French minister
there, NJ. Defontenay, acting in the
name of NJ. LeygYes and President
Millerand His step has produced
ueep surprise anu SOH|ei IL III SSi Oist II
circles, but it will contribute to
dispel the exaggerated illusions now
cultivated in Serbia about promises
of full support by some Of the great
powers of any Jugo-Slav program
in the Adriatic. In this manner 1t
will make easier a direct undert
standing.
The friendly spirit in which Italy
approaches the negotiations is con-
firmed by the cordial illusions to
the neighboring kingdom and to the
brotherhood of the. two countries
living on the Adriatic shores which
Count Sforza. the foreign minister,
made in his speech at Milan before
the league OF nations congress.

appreciate the crisis that now con-
fronts the farmers of the country.
They see nothing ahead but total
ruin, they said.
The farmers plan to hold a mon
ster convention here early in De-
cember and will bring every pos
! sible pressure to bear upon Con-
gress to modify the Federal Re
serve act so that it will better
serve the agricultural interests.
| IF this decision stands" said c.
| 5. Barret, of Georgia. one of the
most prominent delegates represent
ing the farming interests, this
country and the world faces hunger
next year. 1t means in effect that
! the farmer is the only producer who
is expected to sell his product for
( less than cost. For hundreds of
thousands of small farmers it means
complete bankruptcy. Small town
! life will be paralyzed. Entire rural
communities will be driven to the
cities to join the ranks of the con-
sumers."
Gov. Harding's statement follows:
| In view of the representations
which have recently been made to
the board as to the unavail-
ability of credit in agricultural
I sections the board requested infor-
nation concerning credit conditions
Throughout the country from the
! chairmen and governors of Federal
reserve banks at their usual autumn
conference here this week.
Credit situation Improved.
! The board is advised that credit
has been steadily available for the
successive seasonal requirements of
agriculture, as we'll as for the needs
of commerce and industry, and that
there is no ground for expecting
that its availability for these pur-
poses will not continue.
The present improved credit sit
uation is due in part to the timely
steps taken last spring, following
conferences between the board and
governors and directors of Federal
reserve banks to provide credit for
crop moving requirements, and in
part to the subsequent improvement
in transportation reported from all
districts except in a few localities.
Federal Reserve Banks having
surplus funds have extended accom-
mediation to Federal Reserve Banks
IN agricultural and livestock dis
tricts by means of discounts. aggre-
eating on October 1, over s225,000. 900.
The disturbances in price and
demand which have recently mani
tested themselves in markets for
various agricultural and other COM
modities, not only in the United
States, but in other countries as
well, are inevitable and unavoidable
consequences of the economic de-
rangements occasioned by the world
war
The United States continues to
have a heavy volume of exports,
although foreign demand for GER
tain agricultural staples has some
what decreased. But the chief mar
ket for our raw and manufactured
products is at home, and our present
huge crops of immense value may
be expected gradually and in reg
ular course to move from producers
to consumers.
THE recent census. reckoning our
population of 100000 empha-
sizes anew our own capacity as con-
sumers irrespective of the demands
of other countries"

GIRLIES
TO HAZE THEM
Drexel Institute 'Freshies
Made to Do Gymnastics
a la September Morn.

Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 16.-Drexe1
Institute seniors have apologized
for what their dean, Miss Mabel
Cherry. termed an indecent out
rage" and once more the freshies
are clothed, both as to dignity and
apparel
1t seems to- have been a sort of
aimless affair at first. The-seniors
sized up the freshmen and decided
all of a sudden that they should
carry hairpins, powder and such
like feminine doodads. So the order
was issued and the first-year girls
rebeiled. They thought that in
unity there would be strength and
called mass meetfng-for the gym
nasium for Wednesday, evening.
Just as the meeting was getting
under way seniors entered and
locked the doors.
Ordered to Disrobe.
The order was given the fresh
men girls to march to the locker
rooms and then they were told to
take off all their clothing. Incipient
screams and screeches were smoth-
cred The seniors went at their
work in a business-like manner.
This time they had disrobed a half
dozen of their victims in a careless
way that spelled ruin for delicate
Fabrics. so the freshies decided to
do their own disrobing.
ihose who wore two-piece under
wear were allowed to keep the top
haif, but the others were out of
luck.
A small towel was furnished each
freshie, the command was issued to
fall in, in column of two's," and
march to the gymnasium was be-
gun. There the girls were put
through the school calisthenics.
Soaked and Sent .H0me.-
The job finished, the freshles
were conducted to the shower baths
and thoroughly soaked. Then they
We're told, nay urged, to go home" ."
