TUST imagine your clothes wash
> ing themselves for you over
night
Imagine their washing themselves with
out any washing "aids" Whatsoever
no boiler, no wash-board, no scrub
brushes, pals and dippers-and no hard
work. s.g, -s-4s a.. C
You just put your clothes TO soak
with a new soap product. --.e&.
You have been told so often of prod
ucts that would wash your clothes
for you, of products that would get
the dirt out without any work On
your part, that the story of this new
product is going to be hard for you
to believe.
1t Is hard to believe that a simple
soap product, absolutely harmless,
can, just by soaking overnight, so
loosen the dirt in your clothes that
when they are rinsed in the morn
ing, all the dirt comes out.
AS a matter of fact, if the overnight
soaking is inconvenient, three hours
soaking will accomplish the same
wonderful result

A new cay Of washing
2o~ just soak yO1v clothes clean
instead Of The aid rubbing and boiling


All you have to do is to take them
out and rinse theml
And they are snowy white and
cleanl Only a few very soiled
places, like cuff edges, need a light
rubbing between your hands.
That is what RINSO is doing for
thousands of women who have al
ready secured it. 1t has changed
their whole LUdy of washing.
And those same women felt as you
now feel, when they first heard of
RINSO'S wonderful results-they
couldn't believe i'll
And now they are like Mrs. Terry
whose letter is given here-theyhave
found that the old way of washing
is gone-and that the new RINSO
way of soaking your clothes clean
has entirely eliminated the hardest
work housewife has to do-wash-
day boiling and rubbing.
Use RINSO yourself this week-see how
it really SookS your clothes clean-see if
you don't feel just as enthusiastic as Mrs.
Terry does.

Occur Between $500 and
$500 Miles From Cap
ital, Lasting 2 Hours.

Washington, Feb. "A very
severe earthquake lasting more
than two hours and centered be-
tween $500 and $500 miles from
Washington was recorded early to-
day on the Georgetown university
seismograph. Shocks began at
6:42 a. m. reached the maximum at
about, s O'Clock and ceased at 9:O3
o'clock.
A record of what appeared to be
q double earthquake was shown on
the instruments at the Harvard
seismographic station today Pro-
fessor Jay Backus Woodwork,
who is in charge Of the station, in
timated the scene of the shocks to
be about 5000 miles away. The
first shock began at 6:36 a. m, and
reached the maximum at 7:39 a. m.
What appeared to be second
earthquake, he said, was subse-
quently indicated on the instru-
ments, its maximum motion being
reached at S:26 a. m.
Chicago, Feb. 2.-The United
States government seismograph at
Chicago university recorded the
most pronounced earthquake in
months this morning. The shocks,
which were still continuing at

than the recent Mexican upheaval.
The first shock was recorded at
5:42 o'clock and the maximum was

said Mr.. Daley. They paid the
editor Of a railroad magazine for
articles in the magazine and gave
him additional money to attend
meetings of the union over the
state"
They ingratiated themselves
into the churches wherever pos
sible by the use of money" con-
tinued Mr.. Daley.
Tried TO Pick Opponent.
THE defendants wasted . great
deal of money in an attempt to
control the nomination of the oppo-
site party" he continued. "They
arrived at the conclusion that the
defendant, James W. Helme, would
be suitable opponent to Mr.. New
berry in the election and hired the
defendant, William Nickel, to in
duce Mr.. Helme to become a sena-
torial candidate on the Democratic
ticket"
Mr.. Daley charged that Nickel
was later told by Charles Floyde
that Samuel O'Dell, defendant,
had paid Helme $4,000 to enter the
race.
Mr.. Daley said the Newberry Or
ganization got up the petitions by
which Mr.. Helme's name was
placed on the Democratic ticket,
managed his campaign and paid
Helme weekly salary"
while these things were trans
piring in Michigan, there was con-
stant communication with Mr.. New
berry in New York." said Mr.. Dali
ley. He asserted the evidence
would show that neither the report
of the committee nor their books
gave a true account of the receipts
and expenditures, that county
chairmen and secretaries, who re-
ceivedj from $3.50 to $1,000, were
asked to make reports showing that
they received from $3.50 to $780,
and that no mention was made OF
the amounts expended in behalf OF
James w. Helme."

PEACE PACT

|0PEN SENATE
Republicans Decide to Join
Democrats to Renew
Treaty Debate.

Washington, Feb. 2-Countering
the Democratic move to take up the
peace treaty again in the senate.
Republican leaders today gave no
tice that they would formally ask
to bring the treaty up for debate
next Monday, one day earlier than
the Democrats had decided on.
The development was regarded as.
practically assuring another long
period of discussion.
In giving the notice in the senate.
Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader. said he would first ask
unanimous consent to proceed to
consideration Of the treaty with
reservations.
Il trust" he added. "that unani-
nous consent certainly will be.
given. In case it is not, l shall
make the necessary motion to sus-
pend the rules"
The announcement apparently
took the Democrats by surprise and
the Republican leader was asked TO
repeat it. Senator Ashurst, Demo-
crat, Arizona, then asked. "Why
withhold it SO long? Why not move
to take it up tomorrow or the next
day."
Il have given the matter consid-
eration,' replied Senator Lodge.
Many senator's are absent and 1
desire to wait until they return"
1t was predicted little opposition
would ensue from any quarter.
In the form proposed, ) Senator
Lodges motion witl require . two
thirds majority. but the ( general
prediction was that more than that
number would support it. Not only
those who favor ratification in some
form, but some OF the treaty's ir-
reconcilable foes are ready to vote
to reopen the debate.
The recently published letter OF
Viscount Grey, British ambassador
to the United States. regarding the
treaty reservations was the text OF
an attack made on the treaty in the,
senate by Senator Reed, Democrat,
Missouri. The utterances of the
British statesman, Senator Reed de-
clares, reveals that others have
been insisting upon surrender OF
American liberties (which even en-
lightened public opinion does not
demand or justify"

EARNINGS OF
COAL MINERS
John L. Lewis, Union
Head, Challenges Fig
ures as Unfair.

Washington, Feb. 2. Tables
showing the gross earnings of all
classes of bituminous mine workers
in the central competitive field dur
ing the 10 months period immed-
lately preceding the walkout on
Nov. /, 1919, compiled from pay
roll records" were presented in
evidence before the coal strike
settlement commission today by the
operators.
They were challenged by John L..
Lewis. acting president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
C. E. Lesher, statistician of the Ma
tional Coal association, said the
figures were secured from "repre-
sentative mines" employing not less
than Is per cent of the total num-
ber of workers in each field and
that he believed them truly rep
resentative."
Mr.. Lewis asked:
What assurance can be given
that the secretaries in selecting
their Is per cent did not select the
Is mines out of the 100 where the
earnings were larger than In the
remainder"
Our only assurance is entire
confidence in their ability and hon
esty," replied Mr.. Lesser.
Numerous figures showing the
average earnings for groups of men
working the same number OF days
in the Pittsburgh thick and thin
vein fields in the 10 month period as
indicative of the central field were
| read in to the record by Ralph
Crewes, attorney for the operators.
Taken at random, the figures
showed that in October, the month
preceding the strike. the average
feSfnings of "A pick miners working
q days were $213.27. In the thin
vein field 20 men WORKING q days
in the, same month received for that
time average earnings Of $209.S4. (.
Machine miners in the same field
turned in more days work, the
table showed, and also received
slightly higher proportionate earn
ings.
Instances were noted where ma
chine runners in selected places
earned $12 to SIS day, in selected
months.
Lewis DisagreeS.
After the introduction Of these
exhibits, Mr.. Lewis said in a state
ment that the operators neglected
to tell the commission that the ma
chine runners were the most highly
skilled and best paid class of min
ers in the mines.
Nor did the operators tell the
commission that machine runners
work 10, II or 16 hours day." said
Mr.. Lewis. These figures mean
| nothing when compared with the
fact that in the six year period
from 1918 to 1918, inclusive, the av-
erage annual earnings of all of the
mine workers in the central COM
petitive field were $S73-S5. The only
fair way to ascertain mans earn
ings is to take his earnings for a
year, not day or week.
