WASHINGTON THRIFToGRAMs

George Washington, the successful
builder of a nation, gave voice to rules
for personal and national success
which are as applicable in this 1920
year of necessary thrift as in his
day. Here are some of his words, on
the use of money and resources that
might have been written for the pres
emit situation in America:
81 am more disposed to squander
than to STINT
Economy makes happy homes and
sound nations, instill it deep
cit is not the lowest priced goods
that are always the cheapest"
81 can not enjoin too strongly upon
you a due observance of economy and
fruga1ity.''
keep an account book and enter
therein every farthing of your re
ceipts and expenditures"
Promote frugality and industry by
example, encouraging manufacture
and avoid dissipation

convince you of the folly of r1isspend

WARNS OF FALLING PRICES
Wisconsin Retailers Are Told That
Consumers Are Buying More eau
tiousIy in All Sections.

Milwaukee.-State merchants were
warned to prepare for a general de-
cline in prices by Paul Findlay of Los
Angeles, who delivered the principal
address at the convention of the Wis
consin Association of Retailers.
Mr.. Findlay said that merchandise
was already heading downward. He
said that retailers are the first to suf-
fer from a spirit of conservatism,
which is prompting consumers to buy
more cautiously
Retailers all over the country are
beginning to notice a falling off in
buying he said up to the present
time good jobs, with high wages, were
easy to get, and as a result the house
wife went right ahead with her buy
ing.
Now good jobs can't be procured
as readily and the consumer pulls
down on his purse strings against the
grocer and small retailer first. Buy
ers are not paying the grocer as much
as they did,

MAY BE 75-CENT GASOLINE
This Price May Be Reached
Within TWO Years.

San Francisco. = Seventy-five-cent
gasoline is a possibility within two
years, Prof c. R. Maberry of the Case
School Of Applied Science, Cleveland,
O.. said in an address here before the
Engineers Club.
His conclusions, he said, were based
on his knowledge OF oil fields already
exploited and prospective develop
ments in various countries. He de-
cIared that intensive investigations in
all parts of the world had demonstrated
that there no longer exist adequate
quantities of pure gasoline hydrocar-
bons and that the future welfare of
the motor industry depends on inven-
ton OF a motor engine capable Of eco
nomical transmission Of power direct
" from crude petroleum or a light, eff
ficient storage battery.
Professor Maberry said the btu
minous shales of Colorado, Utah and
California promised to augment the
worlds supply Of crude oil.

The 12.5 per cent increase does not
take into consideration the increase
in wages Of approximately $4,000, 600

Washington.-The claws Of the pro-

justice that revenue agents may be

Under the law, prohibition agents
power is limited. He can enter a
house only when armed with a search
warrant and when given permission

A revenue officer however, is hamper
ed by no such restrictions. He has
the right forcibly to enter a house in
making an arrest or conducting a

ing, therefore, has given reinforce

REDS PLAN WORLD CONQUEST
Russian BoIsheviki Would Force Soviet
Rule on All Nations by Revolution
and War.

Kolno, PoIand.-SoYiet Russia in
tends to seek an alliance with Ger
many to make war on France, and if
this is successful, TO undertake con-
quest of England and eventually
America, officials of the bolshevist
regime told the Associated Press here
recently.
As soon as the Polish war, which
is considered purely Russian bust
ness, has been finished, a note will be
sent to Berlin, they declared. demand
ing permission to transport troops
across Germany for the French cam
paign. Upon refusal of this request,
which is taken for granted, a revolu-
ton will be instituted in Germany,
the success of which the Bolsheviki
asserted they were prepared to as
sure by force Of arms.
With these ends in view, the Rus
sian soldiers, who have been told that
all wars shall cease with ultimate vic
tory over the Poles, are being sub
jected to vigorous propaganda, which
declares that Frenchmen will be shot
on sight, but that the Germans are
friends who soon will become COM
rades Of the Bolsheviki. These ad-
missions have been corroborated by
information gathered by the cores
pondent in conversation with German
representatives of East Prussian news
papers who had interviews with the
bolshevist army chiefs at the front.
The bolshevist leaders declare that
within three weeks they will be in
complete control OF Poland, including
the Polish corridor, which they intend
to occupy, leaving a ten kilometer
zone about Danzig.
When the correspondent reached
here, surreptitiously crossing the bord-
er at Czerwone and employing the aid
Of Poles and a farm wagon filled with
straw, he called on the Polish soviet
eommissar, who recently was estab-
lfshed in office by the bolshevist mil
itary.
Hans Scharnewsky, the commissar,
is a Polish Jew with protruding eyes
and blond mustache, and wears a
white collar. He acknowledged the
correspondents greetings and then
sat down at his dinner table, complete
ly ignoring the American.

WOMEN HAVE WON
RIGHT TO BALLOT
tennessee Legislature Ratlfies
Suffrage Amendment by a
Margin of Two Votes.
ACTION NAY Be RECOESIDERED
Legality of Proceedings Probably Will
Be Attacked in Courts Under the
Constitution.

Nashville, Tenn.-The amendment
extending equal suffrage to American
women was ratified for inclusion in
the federal constitution, the lower
house of the Tennessee legislature vot-
ing, so to 46, to concur in the senate
resolution adopted on Friday by vote
of 25 to f.
Action OF the house made Tennessee
the thirty-sixth state to approve the
amendment, which lacked tonight only
formal certification by Secretary Colby
to complete it's acceptance by the ma
ton
There is still possibility that the
house may rescind its action. At the
last moment Speaker Walker, leader
OF the anti-suffrage forces, changed his
vote from max to aye, paving the way
for a motion to reconsider. Under
house rules, he can present such a
motion within the next two legislative
days.
Should the vote be confirmed, or the
house fail to take further action be-
fore adjournment next Friday, millions
Of women will be free under the
" fOOO IL IAC ~
election next November. Only sue
cessful litigation contesting the legal
right of this legislature to ratify the
section could prevent them.
Steps for such a test of the pro-
visions of the Tennessee constitution
involved have already been taken by
the Tennessee constitutional league.
Ninety-six' of the ninety-nine mem
bers of the house were present today
and the alignment, until a vote OF con-
currence was taken, was tie, each
faction polling 48 votes on a motion
by Mr.. Walker to table the resolution.
On the ballot for concurrence the line
up was 40 to Al until the speaker
changed his vote This apparently
would give the suffragists an advant-
age of only two votes, but their lead
ers declared tonight that members in
favor of suffrage, who were absent to-
day, would arrive probably tomorrow
morning.
The motion to reconsider may be
carried by majority vote of the mem
bers present, and since Mr.. Walker
can act without moments notice, the
suffragists planned to be on hand in
full force during the next two days.
