AS MANY VOTES
AS ANY OTHER
johnson Amendment to League OF
Nations Covenant to be Re-
vived in Sem
ate.
[By L. c. Martin. United Press Staff
Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Fed. 3.-The John.
son amendment to the league of ma
lions covenant, giving the United
States as many votes in the assembly
as the British empire. is to be revived
as soon as the treaty comes to the
floor Of the senate.
This action will be taken, senators
said today, as the direct result OF Wis
count Grey's letter, in which he said
the United States is entitled to as
many votes as Britain.
Grey's letter will be used as an
argument to round up votes for the
amendment.
Preparations went forward today
for calling up the treaty next Monday.
At the same time, a small group Of
"indefatigables" as they are being
called, continued efforts to take up
the pact in the open senate. Senator
Lenroot, one of those still seeking
compromise, has prepared new arti
Gle K draft. Senator Lodge said it had
not been presented to him, although
he had heard Of it. This compromise
effort is not looked on as promising,
as the mild reservation group today
announced they stand by Lodge when
the treaty comes up.

Monday Music Club.

[Contributed]
The Monday Music club recognized
the activities of the high school In
music and defamation last night, by
placing on the program the high
school orchestra led by Prof. +. Z.
Hayden, and two Of the medal winners
in the declamatory contest held at the
school this week Lee Brown ana
Miss Violet Cochran were the young
people thus honored. Miss Mildred
French, winner over all, in the con-
test, did not appear last night. AS
president of the Students Auxiliary OF
of the music club she graciously yield
ed her place on the program. Eacn
year Mr.. Hayden presents the hlgh
school orchestra in one or more pro
grams of the club. The work Mr..
Hayden is doing is a difficult one, and
one that should be much appreciated
not only by the parents OF the young
people interested, but by all who are
interested in the development Of music
in Keokuk. It's difficulty lies in the
fact of its perpetual beginnings. Each
year sees the disappearance OF much
of the best material which must needs
be replaced by younger and less ex-
perienced players. To weld this
Heterogeneous mass into an orchestra,
Us task requiring not only skill but
patience and optimistic vision. and
this task Mr. Hayden accomplishes
yearly, with credit both to himself and
the high school. The other numbers
on the program were presented by
members of the club. Miss Fry and
Miss Catherine Reidy delighted the
audience with two Charminade num-
bers for two pianos, authoritat1vely
rendered. Mrs. Leo B. Gredell sang
her numbers with delightful simplicity
and beautiful quality, the "Carmena"
waltz song of H. Lane Wilson, deserv-
ing special mention.
The two groups sung by Miss Celes-
stine Dickey were given with much
charm and understanding Her num-
bers included one by VIM. Lester.
Miss Louise Benner made her first
appearance before the club, playing
the difficult March Militare" of Schu-
bert, with ability.
Preceding the program the club was
led in singing by Prof. Hayden and the
iorchestra, This being National Song
Week" the songs selected were. THE
Battle Hymn of the Republic, Amer
! lea, the Beautiful, and Onward,

SUGGEST LOCAL
DAYLIGHT LAW
Some People Would Like to Gain an
Hour Of Sunlight, One OF the
Sponsors For the Idea Re-
marked Today.

An agitation for local daylight
saving was suggested by a local man
who sees merit in an extra hour OF
DAYLIGHT in the evenings, secured by
turning the clock ahead an hour. In
some places over the country the To-
cal communities have been able to
swing sentiment enough to allow
such tampering with the CLOCK, IN
spite of the fact that congress last
fall vetoed the measure as na1lonai
one.
"There are lot OF people mere
who are favorable to such change
