HUNDREDS OF TONS
FOOD FED TO FISH

Havana, Oct. 26.-American plo-
ducts valued at millions of dollars
are tied up at the port of Havana
seemingly without prospect or hope
of early delivery.
Conditions have become so menac-
ing from the standpoint of health that
hundreds Of tons of foodstuffs on
which war prices are paid on the is
land, already have been dumped into
the sea. There is such an utter con-
gestion on the wharves that it has
not been possible however to dig
through the growing pile of boxes
and barrels and reach many decayed
shipments.
Warning against a possible cpl
demic was sounded today by the chief
sanitary officer of Havana, who de-
clared that "while the people were
being taxed almost beyond their
means, enormous quantities of need
ed articles are rotting on the docks
and endangering health"

little opposition. Charles S. Bar

"The time has now come for ac-

Other recommendation of the pol

COAL SITUATION is
NEAR NORMAL STAGE

Washington, Oct. 30-Suspension
of the Service Order giving prefer
ence in the supply of coal to the
Northwest via he Great Lakes was
ordered today by the Interstate Com
merce Commission on the ground that
it's continuance was not essential.
The commission said, however, that
the situation would be carefully
watched and that such action as the
facts warrant would be taken. Up to
Oct. 26 there has been actually dump
ed in to Lake vessels at the lower
Lake ports 18,572,518 tons of soft
coal for transshipment to the upper
Lake ports.
The suspension of the order re-
fleets what isregarde d as a return
to normal in the coal situation. The
New England preference order was
suspended some time ago. The warm
weather in October is credited with
having been a controlling factor as
far as the improvement in the situa'
ton is concerned. A cold October
would have complicated matters con.
siderably.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Resolutions
urging that all crops be marketed as
the demand requires and that con-
cress conduct an investigation of in
terest rates charged by banks were
adopted today by the conference IN
session here.
All farmers were urged to join ex'

cations or organize new ones, and
congress was asked to give the fed
eral farm loan board authority to IS,
sue and sell in the open market
short term securities based on ware
house receipts issued under the fed

Delegates to the conference inter
preted the resolution for marketing
as the demand requires as authoriz,
ing a holding movement of cotton

The resolutions as adopted were
recommended by the policy commit
tee, which was appointed at the open

Marsh, secretary of the farmers ma,
tional council, refused to sign the
committee report, submitting min
ority one requesting "the representa-
tives of organized labor who have
expressed to US at this conference
their sympathy with farmers need to
secure short time credit so they may
secure at least costs of productions
that they go with US to the president
to ask for immediate credit relief and
to lay this matter before the cabi-
net"

TO OBSERVE SCHOOL WEEK

Or. A. R. Spaid, State Commissioner
of Education, is making elaborate plans
for observance of school week in Della
ware. The aim is to center public at
tention on the necessity of giving every
child fullest opportunity for obtaining
not only an elementary, but high
school and collegiate training.
The Delaware State Teachers As
sociation, at its second annual meeting
in Dover, on November 13, took action
favorable to the movement, and DR..
Spaid with the app oval Of Governor
TOWNSEND, today issued a letter, saying
in part:
cdr. r. P. Claxton. United States
Commissioner of Education, has re-
uested the States to observe the week
of December oil as ''School week. I
1t is suggested that not only the schools
but the churches, parent-teacher asso-
Citations, women's clubs, mems clubs,
oranges and all other civic organizations
should conduct a program sofnetime
during the week which would focus
public attention sentiment in favor Of
better schools. Some Of the following
specific aims could be in such program:
''To secure regular school attendance;
to insure satisfactory health conditions
in schools; to provide adequately trained
teachers; to make every child realize
the Importance of an education; to con-
vince the public if possible a high
school education for the worth of edu-
cation; to obtain adequate financial sup
port for hools.
