 Chicago, Sept. 1.-The senate sub- committee Investigating campaign ex- penditures went into adjournment to- day until September 22, when hearing of witnesses will be resumed in the east.
 Evidence given at the final session of the committee today was in regard to Republican financial activities in the Chicago district, m which was as- serted by Democratic party men that S5O0,000 was secured in one drive.
 A counter to the Democratic charge was the introduction of evidence all legged to prove that girl employees of the bureau of internal revenue office at Aberdeen, S. D., had made contri- button to Governor Cox's campaign fund, at the alleged solicitation of party leaders. Before any material evidence was developed, the question ing was stopped on account of the fail ure of witnesses to appear.

HARD|NCSAYS
 ALLIES DUPFD ]. SION TREATY
(By United Press)

Marion, O., Sept. 11.-Senator Harding today in an address to del egations of business men from Chica- go, Michigan and Indiana, sprung his most sensational charge in the league of nations fight with Gov. James M. Cox.
 America has been duped by shock ing discrepancies in the French and English texts of the treaty of Yer sailles, for the purpose of appearing to safeguard the Manroe Doctrine" :" Senator Harding declared in his front porch" speech to the delega- |tions.
 These discrepancies might easily involve the United States in war; the Republican nominee said.
 In support of his charges, Senator Harding quoted Article 21 from the French text of the league covenant, arguing that it's language is a con- |plete reversal of the English text, to which President and the other Ameri- can delegates affixed their sigma 'oASS. 1Hc al llCle III tIle LQRllSn text, in part, reads:
 "Nothing in the covenant shall be deemed as invaldating understand ings like the Monroe Doctrine"
 The French text of the treaty at this point, as translated by MT. Hard ing, is:
 Understandings like the Monroe Doctrine may be deemed compatible with any provisions of this covenant"
 The treaty of Versailles was writ ten by the peace conference in French and English, parts of the original draft being in one language and parts In the other. When the document was completed, it was translated and in- scribed in languages representing all of the signatory powers. Senator Harding's assestion today is the first charge that the English and French texts are at variance.

ARITHMETIC IS
SUBJECT Of DR..
HILL 3 LECTURE

The tightening calculator be-
longs to a past age. This is the
day Of the adding machine, and of
minimi"ed drud9ery." stated DE-.
David S. Hin yesterday afternoon
IN the tenth of his extension lee
lures to the teachers of Albuquer-
que schools
But those who say that there is
no practical value in this study,
that it just in the nature of a
mental drill and discipline, are
stating fallacy," continued the
lecturer, who gave a brief outline
of the history of arithmetic, and
much valuable instruction in meth
DDS of teaching. The wording Of
problems, saws DIR. Hill, is as i'm
portant as the reasoning process
involved; often it is not clear, and
pupils have difficulty in getting the
meaning.
The value of uniform standard
lied tests throughout the country
so that state and city schools may
compare their progress, and meas
ure it accurately instead of guess
ing at it, was emphasized, and the
attention of the teachers called to
the benefits of regular drill. There
is room, said DR.. Hill, for much
research in teaching even so cut
and dried a thing as arithmetic
seems; there are problems to be
overcome in elementary education
from the first grade to the high
school, simpler and better methods
to he found.
In speaking of marking papers
DR.. Hill stated that it had been
found by tests on teachers that
grades on the same set of papers
varied from 10 to 20 per cent. The
outline Of the lecture and refer
ences follow:
Subject: Problems in. the meas
urement Of arithmetcal abilities.
!. Concerning the nature, values
and teaching of arithmetic.
(a) Origin of the idea of num-
Der.
(b) History of arithmetic.
