House Committee Meeting Ends in
Confusion Over observation-disclosures

Washington, March Stalking up
for the first time the whole question of
soldier relief legislation, the house
ways and means committee got into
row over procedure and broke up in
some confusion after members had re-
peated charges made in the house that
the measures had been sent to the COM
mittee for burial. After many heated
exchanges between members the COM
mittee ordered the room cleared of
spectators, and then in executive ses-
sion finally decided to continue hear
ings today.
Before the sudden termination of
the session Franklin D'Olier, national
commander of the American Legian,
and Thomas w. Miller, chairman of
the national legislative committee, pre-
scented briefly an outline of what the
organization sought from congress.
Both declared service men were not
asking for a bonus, and Miller assert
ed that 100000 soldiers, directly af-
fected, were closely watching cOnsid-
Grafton of the matter of adjustment
compensation.
While the wrangle was in progress
several members left the meeting, say
ing they had been called to the house,
which had convened meantime.

ment as is consistent with the welfare
of the whole country"

This Toad Was a Warrant.

How she INDUCED in an experiment
TO determine the truth of the aSser-
ton recently made by Youths Com
panion contributor that toads have
homing instincts, and was disappoint-
ed, Miss Dora Read Goodale tells In
the Springfield Republican.
Some time ago. she writes, 1 read
that the unassuming toad has the
"homing instinct" to as great a degree
as the homing pigeons and the asser-
ton was supported by detailed ac-
counts of various toads that were re
moved to a distance but returned to
their native haunts even before their
owner or landlord. Therefore, on
fine Sunday morning | caught in my
garden a portly toad, whose peffy cor
pulency suggested that he had exc
cuted numberleSs flies, and, after tying
a red thread round his leg like a badge
of honor, carried him, partly by au-.
tomobile and partly on foot, three
miles from home.
When / gently deposited him near
messy log by the wayside, he sat
perfectly still for fully two minutes, as
if getting his bearings; then, after
winking two or three times and catch
ing an ant or two with his lightning
tongue, he gave prodigious leap and
disappeared in the underground. /
confess / had not much hope of seeing
him again-and l never have.

About fourteen persons were injur.

HITS LITERACY TEST
LAW DECLARED BAR TO MANY
DESIRABLE ArENs
Congressman SiegeI of House lmmi-
grafton Committee Declares Many
Good People Are Sent Back.

New York, March 3.-Representativ
Isaac Siegel. member of the house
immigration committee, asserted that
the literacy test is barring from the
United States thousands of immigrants
and helping increase the cost of liv-
ing.
An average of three per cent of the
immigrants arriving at New York are
sent back because of the test, he said,
and a full third of the prospective int
migration abandons its intention to
come here when it hears of it.
Siegel said u italian girls who came
to America to marry American soldiers
now are being held at Ellis island be-
cause they cannot pass the literacy
test, which does not succeed in keeping
out of the country thousands of immi-
grants of the undesirable kind.
The test cannot be forced against IL
literate immigrants who cross the bor-
der from Mexico because of the III
adequate force of immigration inspect
orS available and because public senti-
ment is against it IN the border states,
where laborers are, needed in great
quantities, Siegel said.
The need for domestic servants and
workers in the garment trade could be
hlied by illiterate immigrant girls, he
added, explaining that there seemed
to be few native-bOrn girls Of foreign
parentage who will enlist in those lines
of work.

No "Mute IngIorious Millions"

There are no mute, ingloriOus Mil
TONS" although there are many inglo-
rious persons who imagine that they
are Millions, writes st. John Ervine in
the Manchester Guardian. A Milton
may be "inglorious" for period, but
he is never "mute" for moment. Even
the inglorious persons who imagine
that they are Millions, when they would
be much better employed as haber-
dashers, are never mute They are as
rule, more articulate than the MIL
tons, for they put into their tongues
what they are unable to put into their
pens.
The problems of society In dealing
with men of genius is not how TO en-
courage them but how to keep them iB
order. 1t is probably true that in a
disorganized nation the average intel
ligent man, if he be reared In poverty,
will fail to rise to his level, but It Is
equally true that the man of genius,
however harsa his circumstances may
be, will find his level as certainly as
water does.

ALL ARE TALLER LYING DOWN
Fact Which at First Seems Peculiar Is
Easily Susceptible of Seien-
tific Proof

How many people are aware that we
are shorter when standing than when
lying, and taller in the morning than
In the evening?
An Englishman was the first to dis
cover this, but afterward Doctor
Marand of the Royal academy OF
France made several experiments to
prove the theory. He found after a
years Trial that usually in the night
he gained almost theee-eighths of an
inch, and lost almost as much during
the day. The cause of this is TO be
found in the different state or condi-
ton of the carriages which go to
make up the spine.
The joints of this part of our bod
les are separated and yet Joined by
particular bony substances, every one
of which has a springy residence.
These are capable of yielding on all
sides without bending the backbone or
spiEe itself. OF course, the difference
Is scarcely perceptible in one Joint
alone, but the combined effect is APP
preciable. Naturally, when the spine
IS supporting the weight of the head it
is liable to contract, and we are tall
er after lying down for some time
man after we have been walking
| about all day with our bodies in an
upright position. with the spine sup
porting the weight of the head.
AT night time, when we lie down In
more or less horizontal position,
these top parts do not weigh so heav-
lily, and the springy muscles being ex-
banded, our spines consequently be-
come longer.
Another, proof of this is to be found
in the increase of height sometimes
experienced by invalids who have spent
a long time in bed; and also in the
fact that the more rest a young child
has, the taller he will grow.-London

C. D. ?. WINS IN
VOTES ON TREATY
Two Reservations Readopted, but
Fail to Change Outlook.
REPUBLICAN LINE is INTACT
Monroe Doctrine Is Made Safer When
II Democrats Vote With Lodge
Twenty-Five Stick to the
President.

Washington, March 3.-Without the
slightest change either of meaning or
phraseology, the senate readopted the
Lodge reservation safeguarding the
Monroe doctrine by the decisive vote
of 5S to %.
This reservation not only declines
to submit questions growing out of
the Monroe doctrine to the League of
Nations, but also declares in the plain
est language that the United States
must remain the sole interpreter of
the doctrine. Next to article y it
was the most important point of diff
ference IN the treaty controversy.
twenty-five Still Tied to Wilson.
Seventeen Democrats joined with
the Republicans to roll up the major
ity. AT the same time, the admins
tration again clearly demonstrated
that it still commands sufficient sup
port to block any ratification obnoxi-
Gus to President Wilson. The Monroe
doctrine reservation struck directly at
the most vulnerable point in the adj
ministration defenses, and it was gen
orally agreed that, as long as % DEM
ocrats would continue standing by AR.
Wilson on such an issue as this, rati-
fication was out of the question.
An effort by Senator Hitchcock, the
Democratic leader, to displace the
Lodge reservation with mild substi-
tute, was beaten, 43 to "a.
Another Reservation Goes Over.
In brief speech, Senator Lodge de-
clared ''the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine is absolutely VITAL" and
asserted his readiness to join in fiat
rejection of the treaty unless 1t was
clearly understood the United States
was to continue as 'the sole inter-
prefer of the doctrine
The original Lodge reservation de-
clining to submit domestic questions to
the League of Nations was also re-
adopted by a vote of SO to %. Four
teen Democrats bOlted and supported
1t. A mild substitute was proposed by
Senator Hitchcock. Senator Borah de-
clared it might turn control of the
Panama canal over to the league. 1t
was rejected, A to SO.
The senate has now reached reserva-
ton NO.6 and the Lodge program still
stands intact.
