It has not yet been definitely agreed to, but department officials take an optimistic view ot the circumstance that no objections have been filed by any government. Until some other suggestion Is made. therefore, these officials are said to feel that the list as drawn up may be regarded as a modus vivendi de- fining the scope of the conference.
 It was revealed today Nhat com munication recently was sent to the powers expressing aFdesire to add the topic electric communications In the Pacific" under the original heading, "mandated islands" The affect, it is expected, will be to give the confer ence an opportunity to consider the whole subject of wireless and cable facilities and control in the far east
 The suggested addition may have particular application to the island of Tap. over which Japan was award ed a mandate by the League of Ma tons. This government has desired to establish 8 wireless station on Tap and has challenged the authority of the league to award the island without consulting Washington. There have been indications. however. that this particular wireless problem was nearing solution through dip iomatic exchanges ana might be elim- mated from the field of controversial questions betors the assembling ot the conferents.

 Handled Canal Purchase
 Mr. Knox has been credited by some with having "actually carried through" the purchase of the Panama Canal for S40.000,000 which was an achievement of the Roosevelt admin istration. As Attorney General MT. Knox went to Paris and ascertained that the new Panama Canal company held clear title to convey the canal. This enabled the United States to proceed with the purchase.
 MT. Knox was born at Brownsville, Pa, on May 6. 1858 and was named after q noted Episcopal bishop Phil ander Chase. He was graduated from Mt.

 By an overwhelming vote, the house refused to take from the ad- verse calendar the resolution of Representative A S. vandeGraaff of Tuscaloosa. which proposed the re- moval of the name of II. T. Burks, his colleague from Tuscaloosa coun- 'ty. from the roll of the house.
 Mir. vandeGraatf declared MT. Burks was appointed a member ot the board of revenue of Tuscaloosa county. a position he accepted, and that under the constitution he for feited his position in the legislature, He insisted that he did not intend to reflect upon MT. Burks and offered the resolution only because of the provision of the constitution.
 Lynne Defends Committee
 Speaker Lynne took the floor In defense of the action of the rules committee which adversed the reso- lution. Representative Thomas E. Orr was called to the chair during the time. MT. Lynne said If the gentle man from Tuscaloosa was correct about the law no action was neces- sary on the part of the house as the scat of MT Burks had been automat- ically vacted He said under all the facts the rules committee did not feel 1t could vote to eSpel lovable mem Der of the House, especially at time when he was Ill in his bed at home and could not be at the capitol to i N. IIn natl committee decided 1t would not do anything which would wound him or his family, especially since it was not necessary, under the law.
 Mir. VandeGraaff replied that it was the duty of the house to strike Mfr. Burks' name from the roll If t found that his office has been va cated.
 Motion Is Withdrawn
 Representative T. s. Faulk of Ge- neva, sought to take from the adverse calendar his bill prohibiting any state officer or employe of the state from travelling outside the state, the only exception being the governor and lawful officers going and returning with prisoners, but when Representa- tive oil Tompkins of Houston, ex- plained that this bill would interfere with the orderly operation of the government, MT. Faulk withdrew his motion and the bill remained on the adverse calendar
 MT. Tompkins said this bill would prevent the highway engineer from going to Washington on business for the highway department. would pre- vent the insurance department from examining the records of insurance companies In their home offices and would prevent the public service com mi ssion from handling cases with the interstate commerce commission as required by the state law. During his argument in favor of removing the bill from the adverse calendar, MT. Faulk said he had introduced about 30 bills proposing reductions in the expenses of the government and

Is Your Blood Free
 Of Waste Products?
Many Human Ills Are Due to Waste Products in the
 Blood
How Nature Show. Her Danger Signals.

The human system is forever striving to get rid of the waste matter which accumulates. It is a ffe work that goes on forever. When waste products remain in the system and get in the blood, they cause sickness and poor health. Nature then needs help.
 If your face is pale and draw. 1; if you are under weight; if you suffer with rheumatism or skin eruptions, such as eczema, sores, pimples, or boils, you may know that your blood and general system is filled with these poisonous waste products. In this condition you are an easy prey to all kinds of dis eases because your strength and vitality is "below par" = you haven't the power to fight off dis ease.

President Harding at a White House dinner. No date was set for the next meeting but 1t was indicated that another consultation was prob able early next week.
 May Hold Open Meetings
 None of those present at the meet would reveal details of the deliber- ations regarding publicity for the conference sessions but the impres- sion was given that this government might lay before the~delegates after they assembled here on November II, a proposal that all full sessions of the conference be open to the press. The recommendation, 1t was said, would not apply to the meetings of individual national delegations, committee or other subordinate bodies where the real decisions Of the negotiations may be made, but would give publicity to such gatherings as that which will mark the opening of the conference and to the sessions where formal votes on pending ques-
 tions are taken.
 The question, however, is one which the conference itself must de- eide and It Is expected that the American delegation will take every
 precaution not to appear to urge it's opinion on the representatives of
 other powers. It Is pointed out that the plan for open sessions for the full conference is in accord with a resolution presented by Senator Har-
 rison, democrat, Mississippi and now pending in the Senate.
 Todays meeting of the delegates was held in the office of Secretary Hughes. head of the delegation. whose colleagues, Elihu Root. Sena- l tor Henry Cabot Lodge and Senator 1 Oscar Underwood, formally delegated him to act ase spokesman in making public such details as seemed prac- tfcable. Afterward MT. Hughes an nounced the selection of Basil Miles former chief of the department Of the Russian division as secretary of the delegation and made 1t known
 that the meeting was taken up largely with a review of the data completed by government agencies for tho use of American representa- tives.
 Full information also was supplied the delegates with regard to the physical preparations made fer the conference, memorandum Jm that subject being submitted for Under Secretary Fletcher, who is in charge of physical plans. The proposal to use the Pan-American building for tHc cOHicTenCe bcsslOnS was gwen 1n- dorsement and the delegation made suggestions regarding the allotment of space for delegations and commit tees there and in a wing of the navy department building adjacent. Secre tary Hughes formally communicated receipt of tender of services for research by the Carnegie endowment and announced that the new confer
 ence division of the state depart ment, created to deal specifically with problems connectedswith the negotia- tions. was ready for utilization. Coincident with the assembling Of the delegates 1t became known that the list of possible subjects drawn up by this government for consideration at the conference remains so far as diplomatic formalities are concerned practically where 1t was when the
