The Home Rule Bill.

when the amended Irish home rule
bill reached the House OF Commons
from the House OF Lords this afternoon
1t was announced by Sir Laming Worth
ington- Evans, for the Ministry, that the
Government accepted the proposal
framed by the upper house regarding
the Irish Council. That removed the
only outstanding difference between the
houses and indicated the speedy adop-
ton of the bill.
The House Of Lords last night agreed
TO virtually all the amendments to the
bill made by the House OF Commons,
changing them only to provide that the
Irish Council should not be elected by
proportional representation and that the
Lord Lieutenant should retain the right
of nominating the president OF the Coun-
Gil
The lower house to-day amended tho
Lords proposal that If either area in
ireland refused to set UP "a Parliament
the executive could not make the offer
a second time unless within two years
both houses Of the British Parliament
passed a resolution asking for II. On
motion OF the Government tho House
passed an amendment, by vote Of 175
to 10, making the time limit three years
after June / next.
The bill this afternoon was returned
to the House OF Lords. which will con-
slider II Monday.
Views of the Premier.
Mr.. Lloyd George, the Prime Minister,
speaking concerning the time limit
amendment, said that to accept the
Lords proposal for two years was plac-
ing the whole chance of the experiment
being brought into operation upon the
possibility of the Government being able
to succeed at the first go off, while he
was not altogether confident that when
the Government made the offer to the
southern area of Ireland in the next few
months II would be accepted, the Prime
Minister asserted he thought It was a
good thing to try. II would be a means
of beginning to rally the population
against the forces Of disorder, he said.
Even II the Government got only 25 or

DANIELS WARY
Of BIG POWERS
Says He trusts No Nation
When II Comes to Fuel Oil
for U. S. Navy.

Asserting that mo nation in the
world il to be trusted when 1t comes
TO fuel oil and communications"
Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels today reiterated his determ.
nation TO fight ''in office or out"
for legislation calculated to secure
an adequate supply Of oil for the
American Navy.
FAvORs PHELAN BILL.
He announced himself as favoring
the Phelan bill, which would author
re this government to purchase and
operate oil FIELDS I'm other countries.
and said immediate steps should be
taken to acquire more oil bases
abroad for our ships.
1--WE are fairly well equipped In this
respect, but we must not stand still'
he said.
The secretary said he would con-
tinue to exercise his wartime power
to commander fuel oil Just so long
as II was necessary to protect the
Navy from attempts on the part OF
producers to extort exorbitant prices
PROFITEERs PROLONG WAR.
Some say the war Is over" he said.
IF IL is, / have no official knowledge
Of II. especially when 1t Is question
Of protecting the government from
oil profiteers."
Repeating his assertion that no coal
burner can fight an oil burner on
anything like equal terms. the sec
rotary urged that the oil supply be
conserved for the navy and merchant
marine, and insisted that the govern
ment should be constantly on It's
guard against encroschments on lts
oil reserves by private concerns.
The navy now has Ave underground
oil reserves, Daniels said. totalling
approx imately 213,5S4 acres. they
are located in Colorado, Utah. Wyom-
ing, Nevada and California. Three OF
these tracts are petroleum reserves,
while two are oil-shale reserves. Ac-
cording to United Geological Survey
estimates, the three petroleum tracts
have a recoverable petroleum content
OF about 100000 barrels. De-
posts in the shale-oil reserves are
conservatively estimated at 1000
900 900 barrels. 1t will not be COM
mercially practicable to operate the
shale-oil reserves for some time TO
come, the secretary said.
SEVEN YEARS VIGILANCE.
For seven years." Daniels said,
lit has been necessary for the Navy
Department to be vigilant to- pre-
vent the exploitation of these re-
serves by tresspassers who had no
legal right to the oil set aside for
naval use / have been compelled
to fight almost every day OF my IN
cumbency in office TO prevent the
dummy entrymen and Illegal opera
tors from taking the naval reserve
the only hope for the navy when the
all too rapid use of American oil
will leave it the only available sup
Ely. Not a week passes but finds
pressure to lea, oil reserves and
the demand for turning these re-
serves over to present operations
increases. For all appeals the navy
has the answer Of John Pau ! Jones,
L have just begun to fight.
so long as I am Secretary OF the
Navy, will never consent to the
loss of any portion of the naval
oil reserve, and as long as | live in
public or private life will continue
to serve my country by opposing
the well organized determination to
obtain these reserves"

WHY NOT LET HIM GO MAD7
Philadelphia Newspaper Asks Per. tinent Question Concerning Ger
 tain Long Distance Musician.

At certain seasons men will talk, and even write, of anything. So that serious comment on a long-distance piano-playing contest is Quite ia the cards. Leonard Liebling spreads some wis dom abroad anent such a contest in his regular editorial column in Mu- sical Courier. That Is to say, the contest will not be in Musical Cour- fer, but in Croyden, England.
 One hundred hours of continuous playing, no item to be repeated. is the idealistic goal set in view; and a worlds championship the stake. Also there will be prize naturally. Why this competition did not find c place in the Current Belgian Olympiad doesn't come in for explanation. Per- haps long-distance piano-playing is looked upon as an indoor sport, though 1t might be much more fetching al fresco.
 One of the contestants has been writing letters to his American friends This said contestant, a Londoner, is Harry Kemp Obviously not Harry ; Kemp, the Greenwich village poet), who has already hung up a mark of CT hours of continuous piano play ing. However, MT. Kemp is still rath- CT something short of the existing rec ord, which runs up to 82 hours. The fascinating sections of the let ters deal with Harry Kemp's system of i training. He practices normally every I day. from ten to fifteen hours; of course, on exceptional days he may ] practice more. (We should love to live in the apartment above himD During the practice his arms have | to be tightly bound in bandages to keep the blood away from his fingers The fingers, 1t seems, are the impor- tant factors in long-distance piano playing. AS he practices, KempS wife from time to time sprays the keys of the poor helabored instrument with { alcohol; not for the instruments sake, but for the sake of those important ! fingers. Alcohol helps to harden them, the theory is. and so protect them from the tragedy of splitting.
 Manifestly, too, if a player may not repeat any composition in the trial, his head must remain clear, his memory alert. So Mrs. Kemp keeps bathing her husbands wearied brow, and put ting up series of little objects to dis tract his attention. This latter pre- caution, 1t Is hoped, will keep the man from going mad. | But, on the whole, the care seems excessive. Why not let him go madf Philadelphia Record.

CROWS WINTER IN OKLAHOMA
Farmers of the State Refer to Birdie Annual Migration as Most Un-

Oklahoma is the crows Palm Beach. From all the neighboring states they flock thither to spend the winter, be- cause the climate is mild and the food supply plentiful. Arriving, In the fall, they are In time to join in the gather ing of the crops.
 The numbers In which they assem- ble are described as unbelievable. In one roost, six ziles west of Guthrie, on Gar creek, there are more than 100000. Trees, In late evening, when they have gone to bed, are black with them, the branches burdened from top to bottom. Across the border, in Kan sas. on Sboo Fly creek. is another great crow town.
 They gobble the oceans, the pea, nuts, the Cotton, the maize, and even the watermelons. One farmer had l5 acres of kanr corn curing in the shock. and the crows ate it ali in three days. Borrowing into the shocks, they got every seed.

 To deal with the pest is difficult. Crows are wary. and to destroy them wholesale by poisoning is impossible. because they are quick to become sus- pieious Of baits. At night each squad of them has 6 sentinel on the alert, ready to give an alarm in case of at- tack. @
