The price of silks and motor

necessaries, like cigars, still cost
a frightful lot. The price OF many
silken duds is lower, | admit;

with costly lace; but | must have
some bacon fat to feed my haggard
face. Expensive hats have slumped,
they say, but bacon does not fall,

has slumped on hmousines, which

not need are slumping, you will

history committee has gathered in
formation, were submitted Tuesday
by E. M. Haas.
1--WE will submit for publication
from day to day the groups of men
who entered the service during the
late war from various townships OF
the county," said Mr.. Haas. I'VE have
made an effort to secure reports from
all Of the men, but we are a few short
in every township.
1--WE greatly regret that we cannot
get these reports in so as to embody
them in the war history Of Wayne
county Where we fail to get reports
we can enter no information except
the mere name We hope yet that the
men will fill out their blanks and
send them in so that the information
may be complete.

Five hundred selected volumes of
history, literature. travel and classics
part of the famous library of the late
J. Edgar Tiff, have been given the
Richmond high school by Walter E.
Iiff, his son, who is American man
ager for Alfred Bell & Co. London

Mr.. Iliff arrived in Richmond Mon
day. on his way from his home in
West Orange. \. j., to California. He
stopped off here to unlock the book
cases of his fathers library and per-
sonally to oversee the selection and
transportation Of at least 500 books
to the high school library.
Il am greatly interested in doing
this, because l think books locked
in their cases are useless. They only
fulfill their mission when they are
placed where they can be used. am
happy in giving these volumes to the
library of the high school where they
can be of service to the boys and
girls of Richmond" said Mr.. Tiff.
THE books will be invaluable to
the high school," Principal Bate said
Tuesday. Mr.. lifts actcion follows a

day, in a meeting preliminary to the

health, death and other causes.

TRADE COMMISSION
ANSWERS COAL SUIT
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 16-Condi-
tions in the coal industry respecting
costs of production and prices neces-
states collection Of information Of
the industry, the federal trade COM
mission declared today answering in
the District of Columbia supreme
court, the question Of the Mayna rd
coal company of Columbus, O.. for an
injunction restraining the commission
from requiring monthly reports.
The application Of the Maynard
company, filed last week, was an
nounced as the first of series of
friendly suits designed to test the
authority of the trade commission to
require private corporations to fur
nish information of their business.
The commission denied the conten-
tion of the Maynard company that
forms for collection of its information
would necessitate changes in its ac.
counts, that it was exceeding its au-
thority, and that power to require
such reports had been transferred by
President Wilson to the fuel admins
tration.

PACT MAY Be SENT
TO PRESIDENT THIS
WEEK, LEADERS HOPE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 16-Senate
leaders worked today for an agree
ment to vote on ratification of the
peace treaty this week, so that the
pact might be sent to President Will
son, or laid aside to permit considera-
tion Of other business.
"If the ratification vote fails Of the
necessary two-thirds majority, mo-
ton to reconsider is expected immed-
lately probably by majority leaders, in
the hope of stampeding some Of the
opposition into changing their votes.
1t was admitted the situation held
many possibilities, in view OF the urg-
ent representations that have been
made for ratifying the treaty to stab
ilize world conditions.
Adoption yesterday Of the substitute
reservation to Article X, by a vote of
Sc to 26, removed the last obstacle to
vote on the treaty itself, although a
number of other questions remain to
be settled first.
II Democrats Accept 1t.
Fourteen Democrats voted with the
majority, but that number was less
than half of the strength which ard.
ent ratificationists had promised to
deliver.
Administration leaN.ers seemed
without fear that their forces would
crumble sufficient to enable the Re.
publicans to ratify the pact with the
Objectionable to reservation to article
X which President Wilson let it be
known trough Senator Hitchcock he
would not accept.

LOOKS
FOR KAPP REVOLT
TO END VERY SOON
(By Associated PreSs)

WASHINGTON. March 16.-Restor-
alton of the authority of the Ebert
government with sporadic Sparticist
outbreaks throughout Germany are ex-
pected by military officials here who
interpret dispatches from Colonel Ed
ward Davis, military attache at Ber-
lin as indicating that the coup detat
is not so serious as had at first been
supposed.
The calling, of a general strike by
the Ebert cabinet is regarded here as
certain to encourage the most radical
elements Of the German nation to
make another attempt at revolution
and overthrow of "capitalistic' So
ciety. But while the reoccurrence of
violence in the large cities, similar to
the Sparticide revolts last year. is
looked for, the soviet sympathizers in
Germany are said to constitute so
small a minority that serious trouble
need not be expected.
