PRESCRIBES FOX TROT
TO CURE TUBERCULOSIS
French Scientist Says Rising On
Toes Provides Air for De-
fectiye Lungs.

PARIS, July 20-The fox-ttrot is
one Of the most effective methods of
fighting tuberculosis. according TO
DR.. Gautiez, a thesis by whom has
just been read 5efore the Academy of
Science by Prof. d'Arsonval. The
tango is not quite so good. but it is
better than nothing. The curative
value of the fox-trot Ia due to the
fact that the dancers. rising on their
toes, inhale a greater quantity of air
than otherwise and this strengthens
the lungs.
DR.. Gautiez declares that It Is not
even necessary to perform an actual
dance. All that is needed Is to walk
IN tiptoe a few minutes each morn
ing. When we walk in the ordinary
fashion the lungs are comparatively
inactive and this is said to be one
Of the "favoring causes" of tubercu-
losis. Laboratory experiments have
demonstrated:
1. When the weight OF the body is
inclined toward the toes pulmonary
ventilation is increased II per cent.
2. In the same conditions the in
tensity of respiratory exchanges is
increased IA per cent.
Instead of going to a sanatorium,
according to this view, the patient
should join a dancing class and get

OIL SITUATION
Department OF Justice Seeks
Cause Of Shortage on
: Pacific Coast.

The Department OF Justice has or
dered an investigation OF the opera
tions or oil producers and other oil In
terests, II became known today.
The investigation was undertaken
after charges had reached the depart
ment that Western oil interests par
ticularly in California, were following
practices which violated the Lever
act.
Another Government department
the Federal Trade Commission, has
been investigating for some time al
legged violations of the Clayton anti
trust law by oil interests whose names
are not revealed.
The charges that the Department
OF Justice is investigating, II Is un-
derstood. are that producers are taxi
ing advantage OF an alleged shortage
to sxtct undue profits, and that gaso-
line producers, allied to oil men, are
restricting distribution of their prod
uct, this latter, It is claimed, being
q violation OF the Lever law.
NAVY RUNNING SHORT.
Another factor which Is understood
to have entered into the case Is the
Governments difficulty in obtaining
oil recently. The Navy Department
ask ed for bids for fuel oil, to supply
it's big ships. and only received bids
for one-ffth the amount required.
Fearing there might be fuel oil
shortage, the Navy Department sent
out questionnaires designed to bring
out the facts as to the available sup
ply. While the answers to these ques-
tionnaires were not made public, the
Navy again requested bids following
the receipt of the answers, and on
this second call 1t received bids for
the required amount.
Reports have been circulated 1t is
claimed, that a shortage OF oil tank
cars is partly responsible for the lack
Of proper distribution.

In this connection, the Shipping
Board recently asked for bids for oil,

ducers responded. Other companies

sponsor for the state OF aridity that
prevailed for some time In the terri

the Sonora governor moved into Mex

that he would attempt to enforce

This report gained credence when,
for nearly week after his arrival,

De la Huerta sticks to his dry prin-

Gently, he was asked to define his at
titude toward prohibition.
Whereupon the president spoke at
length upon the malignant influence
which alcoholism" exerted upon the
Mexican people. In contrast to con-
ditlons in Mexica, he cited statistics
to prove that prohibition had de-
creased the amount Of crime In the
United States.
"Universal benent Is derived from
prohibition" the president concluded.
and eventually II should be adopted
in the whole OF Mexico. just as It
has been enforced in the republic on
our north"
The president made this statement
Just as the coffee and cognac were
being served to his guests and the
reporters apparently decided that dis
cretion and sense OF gratitude would
not permit further questioning on the
prohibition issue.
When, a week later. the President

While it Is known that De la Huerta

HARDING JUST|F|ES
HIS LEAGUE STAND
Quotes Colonel House to Prove
Wilson's Desire for Covenant
Blocked Peace.

MARION, Ohio, July 20.-Another
attack on the League of Nations cove
nant was launched yesterday by Sem
ator Harding. He quoted Col. f. NJ.
House as authority for the statement
that Europe wished a preliminary
peace treaty Immediately after the
armistice of November IL, 1918, but
was deferred by the United States in
expediting peace. Senator Harding
said:
I'VE are beginning to understand
the mistakenly plighted relationship
of the United States to Europe just in
time to proceed to referendum intelli-
gently. The one representative of
this country, other than the Presi-
dent who best knew the whole situa-
tion at Paris, was Colonel House.
The Washington times., 1920-07-20
PRELIMINARY PEACE.

HE tells us now, in cabled state
ment from London, that the sugges-
tion Of preliminary peace treaty
stice, and that such a treaty could
have been made before Christmas of
1918.
"All along this has been the Repub-
lican conception Of what should have
been done; but this is the first official
knowledge that Europe wished such a
procedure and was deferred by us in
expediting peace.
The authentic revelation is pecu-
liarly interesting at the moment when
it is announced that the continuation
of Democratic Administration means
continuation of the foreign policy
which has so grievously disappointed
both Europe and America"
Colonel Houses statement, to which
Senator Harding referred, was con-
tanned in a special cable to the Public
Ledger of Philadelphia on July IL. In
it the Colonel said:
"a suggestion was made in Paris
just after the armistice to proceed
at once to the making of pre-
liminary treaty of peace with Ger
many, based on broad, general lines
and concerning four subjects-army,
navy, reparations and delineation of
boundaries.
The boundaries need not have
been exact, but should have been so
drawn as to give Germany the as
surance that her loss of territory
would not be greater than indicated
OBVIOUS THING TO DO.
"Such treaty could have been
made by Christmas of 1918, and
would have been not only the usual
but the obvious thing to do. There
was at that time facing Germany the
entire Allied army, militant and
flushed with victory, and there would
have been no delay or evasion of
terms"
Republican National Committeeman
Rud X. Hynicka of Ohio, who called
on Senator Harding, said that Ham
ilton County and Cincinnati, Ohio,
which gave Cox 1000 plurality two
years ago, will give Harding from
10000 to $4,000 plurality In Novem-
Der. This shows how things are in
Ohio. Everything here is in good
shape"
Former Senator Brlstow OF Kan
sas, who was identified with the ex-
treme progressive group in the United
states Senate, has written Senator
Harding that unless there Ia revo-
lution in public opinion between now
and election day. Kansas will give
him fully 100000 majority.
The nag stan which stood in front
of former President McKinley's home
in Canton, Ohio, during that Prcsi-
dents front porch campaign in 1896
was raised in Senator Hardings front
yard this afternoon. A brand new
flag will be flying from 1t next
Thursday when the Senator accepts
formally the Republican nomination
for the Presidency. The pole, treas
