GAS men MEET TO
} CONSIDER WAYS OF
SAVING IN TRADE

Drastic measures to meet the threat
ened famine of gas were adopted Mon
DAY at the emergency conference of
the American Gas association at the
Hotel Pennsylvania, New York City,
according to word received here. The
gas situation affects Richmond direct
ly. Representatives from more than
100 gas companies in the country
attended.
The conference approved a recent
suggestion of Henry P. Dawson that
gasless Sundays for automobi!jsts
were more necessary now than during
the war, and adopted a platform de-
claring immediate relief was neces-
sary if gas companies were to continue
to operate.
The platform suggested emergency
relief might be had by priority in the
shipment of oil, coal and coke with
preference in ALLEGATION and proposed
emphatic protests through every avail
able agency against the present ire
mendous exports Of oil and coal.
Demand Change of Standard.
The platform recommended the fol-
lowing methods for obtaining perman-
ent relief:
abolish the candle power standard.
Reduce consumption of oil by gas
companies to the smallest quantity
possible and readjust the heating
standard accordingly
Rates hereafter established should
be elastic and quickly responsive to
changing conditions Of operation.
THE rate Of return allowed on the
investment by gas companies should
be materially increased in order to
COmDpnSate for the 6acrna sing MIR
chasing power of money, and further
to strengthen the credit of gas com
panies to a point where new capital
. will again flow into the industry"
A resolution protesting the alleged
wasteful use of gas oil in New York
Philadelphia and other cities was also
adOpted

Patriotic Organizations Are
Asked by D. A. r. to Join
In Flag Day Observance

Flag Day. Monday. June IA, will be
marked by special services in the
South Tenth Street park under the
auspices of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, who have asked
all other patriotic organization of the
city to join.
Organizations which probably will
cooperate in the celebration include
the American Legion, the Woman's
Auxiliary Legion, the G. A. r., Sons
of Veterans, and the Woman's Relief
Corps.
Children who took part in the Deco
"a ton day services in the coliseum
on May 80 have been asked to repeat
their performance under the direction
Of Mrs. Falcke.
They are asked to meet at the court
house Thursday, June 10, at p. m.
for a rehearsal. Ali the children are
urged to be present.

ating piffle and other extraneous af

The maximum strength conceded to
Wood by his most expansive oppon-
ents is $50 votes and not many will
concede more than 800 or 1926, hence
the Wood managers shooting at the
400 mark there will be an exhibition
Of optimism that will do much to en-
liven the proceedings.
The situation really is in the dol
drums. 1t is still Lowden against the
field. Lowden's' strength is holding
steady, and his strategy will be to al
low Wood to shoot his bolt before the
Lowden strength is fully disclosed.
Indeed, it is probable that some Of
the Lowden vote will be fed to John
son for two purposes, one to make
what the old line politicians call the
menace Of Johnson more apparent,
and thus scare the conservatives into
still stronger conservatism, and the
other to help kill off Wood.
But Money Questions Up.
has reared its moral head in this non
theical atmosphere. 1t is this-will
the Lowden men dare nominate Low
den, admittedly the leading candidate,
in view Of the money disclosures, of
the recent Washington investigation.
That question is more ethical, and
more insistent with the Lowden men
than with the Wood men, for the en-
tirely non-ethical reason that the men
who raise it for Lowden do not think
that Wood has any chance for the
nomination. They think they can
nominate Lowden. Possibly they can
if their organization holds. 1t all re-
solves itself into the problem OF
whether they will nominate Lowden
with this handicap. Ethical, as will
be observed, with a little dash OF
practical politics on the side.
However. they have two days to
think that over, until the ballotting be
gins, and for a time afterwards, II
is quite likely that Lowden will hold
his position as the man against the
field.
Then it may all depend upon the
amount of courage his supporters
have If they conclude the party car
weather the storm, they may be able
to nominate him. If not, they will

. young man who practiced medicine
in rural district became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce who afterward moved
to Buffalo, N. Y. He made up his
mind to place some of his medicines
before the public, and he put up
what he called his "Favorite Pre-
scription,"' and placed it with the
druggists in every state in the Union.
For fifty gears DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has sold more largely
throughout the United States than
any other medicine of like character.
It's the testimony of thousands of
women that it has benefited or en-
tirely eradicated such distressing all
ments as women are prone to. 1t is
now sold by druggists in tablet form
as well as liquid.
WEST UNION, ILL.-"Dr. Pierce has
my hearts best thanks for what his
'Favorite Prescription has done for
me. l shall always recommend this
medicine. Since using it I am much
improved in health. I do not have
that 'draggy' feeling had before."-

Both Harmful, But You

eve have to keep 'em up and if
belts and suspenders are harmful,
how are We gonna do it," asked the
cub.
Here DR.. J. H. Kinsey says belts
are harmful to man as they retard
free movements of intestines. Other
Richmond doctors say the same thing.
DR.. Kinsey also says that suspenders
slightly tend to make wearers stoop-
shouldered."
But Richmond merchants say sus-
penders are left far behind in the race
with the belt
Wearers of belts say they are much
more comfortable. Suspender wearers
take a different stand.
Oh, well, we gotta keep 'em up and
the price of safety pins is extremely
high. So we will wear that which we
think best.

PROPER WAY TO HELP.

Along with the sentiment that ex- ists against any more loans to Eu- rope, even though appropriations have been authorized from which such might be made, there is ground for satisfaction in the approval which has, been given to the plan of selling millions of pounds of four to those countries where distressing condi- tions have long. prevailed.
 When this flour is sold it will not be for cash. It will be necessary to give them long time credit, and while cash would of course mean a better transaction it is to be appreciated that those countries are willing to pay and are through the long time credit doing the best that they can. They have been stripped by the war and they are doing their best to regain some semblance of former productive conditions. They need help in the way of food and clothing and this is one of the countries that is prepared to supply their needs. And the way to meet the situation is not by in creasing our already large loans tt i European countries but by sending the supplies wanted. .s
 When we plan, to. furnish them houl it should not mean that we. are, go i ing to so diminish our, own supply t. the point where it will serve to boos prices. The flour which will be dis
 posed ofi4wiH be good in every respec but it will be of a low grade whici does not appeal to users in, this coun try if 1t is possible to get sanythin, else. Having this supply on hand and, the emergency in Armenia, Pc
 land and Austria, about which vol
 umes have been written. fully. under
 stood, it is only to be expected tha
 congressional approval will be forth
 coming even though payment there
 fore may be, somewhat delayed. w

 other time but our situation is ia
 from being as desperate as in sthos stricken countries. .f

BLAME NOT HERE.

The situation in Germany appears to be still uncertain with indications of each government endeavoring to control Even the reported agree ment does not appear to have ma terialized and the state of affairs over there is not much cleared if the reports are anywhere near correct.
 It was to be expected that the sit- uation in this country in regard. to the treaty and the fight that is being made for our protection through re- servations would be pointed to as re- sponsible for the German coup. That the treaty action has been delayed too long is not to be denied, and it has been subjected to influences which ought not to have had any part therein, but the delay in ratification by the United States did not have anything to do with the signing of the treaty by Germany and it does not relieve in any way the responsi- bility of the German government tc live up to hte treaty provisions. Had this country been seeking and beer awarded large material benefits as th, result of the war there might hay, been some basis for the claim of in. spiring the revolution but it is tn, other countries which stand in tha position and they are capable of see ing that Germany lives up to th, treaty.
 1t is also significant in this connec ton that the leaders of the revolution realize the importance of upholdin the treaty provisions. However sin cere they may be they know wha the effect would be of creating an other impression. They play stronger card by standing for th treaty than against it and their effor would have been made even had thi country ratified months ago.
 There can be no question of th wisdom of expediting action on tn treaty for our own benefit but eve von Kapp and von Luettwitz will nc attempt to claim that we have bee opening the way for their action.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

A long ingrained distrust of invest ing one man with too much power to decide the destinies of the country, along with an equally ancient antipa- thy to being drawn into entangling foreign alliances. is the root-cause which has thus far held up the peace treaty in America. We, whose con- to foreigners. ought to endeavor to ap- preciate what is due to tradition in the states. And though we in Europe have suffered incalculable harm from the long delays and the uncertainty, it is well that we should realize that we have been asking America to sacri- flee traditional policy, and to pledge her future as well as the pres ent.

Hoover for President-A food controller, whether he controls con sumption or prices, or both, has many opportunities of acquiring popularity It is odd, therefore, that the man who is said to have the best chance of being the next president of the United States should be Mir.
