TALKING TO BIRDS is EASY
At Least Miss Rose McGiIvray of
Stephens College Saws So.

stephens College Says So.
Talking to the birds in their own Ian.
gufSe is not the difficult feat one might
imagine, according to Miss Rose McCilv.
raw a graduate of Northwestern Uni
versity, who is teaching voice at eteph-
ems College. 1t is merely a matter of
Using ones tongue or puckering ones
lips in the proper manner. Miss McCilv-
ray studied bird calls and cries in Chi
cago under a teacher who was formerly
a member Of the faculty Of the School
Of Whisiling at Los Angeles, which is
probably ;he only school Of its kind in
existence.
There IS no music especially arranged
for whisiling; however. system Of mark
ing has been evolved. The marked mus
ic appears as Greek to the uninitiated,
bCt TO those-who-knOw, certain curves
mean chirPs. others mean cries, little
dots mean siaccato notes, a wavy line
means TO yodel, while sometimes the
word that the whistle sounds like such
as "echew," 'quiichoo," and the familiar
~bob-white," is written above.
Whistling is exercise; breath control
and tone placement are studied in it
just as they are in voice or in public
speaking Melody whistling is being in
trOduced in the public schools of Indi-
ana and in other states

COMPLETION OF
 DAMS MEANS CITY.
Progress on Cotaco Creek to Bring New Industries and
 Cheap Power

Albany. July (SpeciaL)-A new city soon is to spring into ex- istence in Morgan county and bids fair to give older communities a run for their money, as 8 result of developments now In progress near the headwaters of Cotaco creek, west of Apple Grove, in the eastern part of this county.
 Earnest Lynn, prominent resi- dent of Hartselle, Is constructing two dams on the creek, which are expected to generate sufficient cleo trical power to operate a number or industries now being planned for the section. Work on Dam No. 1 now Is being rushed to completion. The improvements will cost in the neigh borhood of $100,000. is it expected.
 The developments are being made on what is known as Big Four ranch, tract comprising approximately $500 acres. The back waters from the dam are expected to inundate between 100 and 150 acres.
 It Is understood that an overall factory and a large cotton gin will be constructed there as soon as the dam Is finished, to be followed im- mediately by school house and a number of dwellings. It was stated here today that 6o0,000 feet of tim Der have been purchased for the con struction of buildings, including 20 houses, at an early date. A large crew of workmen now Is engaged in the construction of the dam.

LET PEOPLE ATTEND THE
 CONFERENCE. SAYS BORAH

Washington, July 2s-(Special.)-- The idea that percolates from admin istrative circles that it would be dis astrous to the disarmament confer ence to permit the people to sit as spectators is absolutely preposterous, according to Senator William E. Borah of Idaho.
 The reasons for the attitude of the administration are said to be three. First, 1t would be contrary to the custom of foreign diplomats to per init their left hand to know what their right hand does; second. that violent differences expected to be de- veloped would, if given publicity. eff feet the relations of this country and the countries of Europe and the Orient; third, that the presence of spectators and members of the, press would precfpitate confusion. | Neither reason is good, according to Senator Borah. He makes the point that it is possible for the Sem ate to conduct it's business in orderly manner in the presence of the public and the press.
 He Suggests Force 1 The New York World, having heard of the plan of the administration to arrive at a covenant behind closed doors, argued tellingly that the time had come when the American people | must be taken into the secrets of the | government.
 l With this argument Senator Borah heartily agreed, and with character istic independence, he so stated in signed article, subsequently, printed | in the World. The Idaho senator, who | is more responsible than any other individual for the prospective confer- tl.~ xlstft which through democratic support. was adopted despite the opposition of the administration. insists that the niveties of diplomacy, conventional 1 diplomacy, be dispensed with. and the United States, by exercising the 1 whip hand, practically force the other nations of the world to it's way I o; thinking.
 Senator Borah holds that in no other wise can disarmament be se- cured He even goes so far as to recommend that the United States re
 mind the countries of Europe of their
 monetary obligations, and make It
 plain that further financing or eXten-
 sion of the time of payment will be
 dependent on their agreement to abandon their policy of preparing constantly for imaginary war
 Urges Ranking Precaution
 According to Senator Borah, the
 United States might be Justified in agreing to further postponement Of
 the payment of debts owed the
 United States by European countries If European countries would indicate
 their ability in the future to pay. It is his contention that if the Flu
 ropean countries would abandon
 naval building programmes. such
 countries could pay their obligations
 to the United States; whereas, were
 they to continue preparing for war
 at the costs of many billions annual
 ly there would be little prospect Of
 full payment. with interest. in many
 many years.
 ! Senator Borahs position he ex-
 plains, is due to his earnest desire | that something tangible and immedi- ate might develop from the forthcom- ling conference. He holds that thai l desire would be enhanced were the conference open to the world, ant } relatively jeopardized. if concludet } behind doors and in the dark.

THINKS CONGRESS SHOULD
 LET THEIR SKIRTS ALONE

Washington, July 29.--(Special.)- The House of Representatives has rothing to do but is afraid to adjourn or recess. In consequence, there are rare opportunities for burlesque.
 And thus, Chairman Focht of the committee on the District of Colum- bia. with the excuse that the lack of quorum of his membership pre- cluded the possibility of passing on really important matters. took oc- casion to invite the women of Wash ington to express themselves regard ing a bill introduced by Representa- tive Johnson of Mississippi
 The bill provides penalties for any woman caught smoking in public in, the District of Columbia.
 The ladies took advantage of their opportunity. Representatives of all organizations. political and otherwise. were present. The offices of Repre- sentatives and senators were vacated by their lady clerks. And many men, expecting interesting development, grouped themselves just outside the seats reserved for the women.
 It was a lively occasion. On every issue, the crowd was permitted to ex- press itself by formal vote. Thus when the chairman asked those who
 
 hands, 39 women raised theirs, while one declined. Twenty men voted unanimously. When the burlesaue was at It's height. Representative Blanton of Texas loudly objected to 8 committee of Congress making itself ridiculous, and Representative Fitzgerald of Ohio reminded the Texan that he could exercise his pre- rogative of retiring whenever he saw pi oper.
 Especially Resentfui
 The women were especially resent full of bill aimed at them exclusive ly. They reminded the committee that they were by law and in every re- spect the equal of men. and that nothing smacking of class legislation and aimed at them would go unchal- lenged They declared that if men are permitted to smoke by law, wom- on must be; and that if women are denied the right to smoke. the same restrictions must be applied to men.
 Mrs. c. E. Cassidy. 1416 N street, N. w., was perhaps the most vigorous in expressing her views. In the be ginning she declared that while sas had never smoked, she had become very tired of groups of men, arro- gating all virtue to themselves. seek ing to tell women what they should and should not do. She referred t. the fact that men were trying to tel women how short or long their skirts shall be, how much cuticle they coulo expose while wearing bathing suits and whether they should wear stock ings or socks. and how they shouic Gx their hair.
 Representative Alice Robertson o Oklahoma, who has deeply impressed with her common sense. opposed th' .biii She declared that not very Ions ago she had seen woman at ih' Pan- American building. smcklns very prettily." This caused Johnson to sQuirm a bit but he said a,,h:nl.
 The Mississippian defended his bill He spoke of the injurious effect O smoking. and declared that congres had the right to regulate health an' moral and care for unborn chii dren He read extracts from vile

letters received by him to prove the degrading effect of smoke on certain women who had written him. But as whole, he fared pretty badly, and there is no question but that his bill is deader than it was when 1t was introduced. if that be possible.
 In conclusion, the crowd voted unanimously in opposition to any more attempts to make people moral by law.

's1O,OOO,OOO NEEDED
BY CUBA CANE SUGAR.
Asks Debenture Holders to Al
low Prior Lien-Receiver
Is Alternative.

The Cuba Cane Sugar Corporation he's
asked the holders OF the outstanding
s25.ooo.ooo z per cent debentures to
permit the company to subordinate the
debenturcs to a new loan Of $40. 100000.
to deposit their debentures as an indi-
cation OF assent at the Office OF the
Bankers Trust Company. New York:
Old Colony Trust Company. Boston,
and Continental and Commercial Trust
and Savings Bank. Chicago. and to sub
scribe. IL they desire, to the new loan
which will be for one year at per
cent. In consideration OF this consent
the interest on the debentures 10 to be
Increased from to s per cent Stock
holdere arc asked also to subscribe to
tho new issue These requests were
made in a circular letter sent ycster-
day TO each stockholder and debenture
holder. outlining that IL the assent IS not
given the company will not have sulfi-
cient funds to prepare for the coming
crop and win fnd u receivershp in
cvitable.
The circular letter calls attention 70
the fact that Of the 100000 bags of
sugar produced In 1921 2.170,00 are
unsold, thus draining the cash resources
of the corporation. The corr lorat.on in
the early summer borrowed s1S.oe0.600
from banks on It's acceptanccs against
the pledge OF its raw sugar. OF which
more than $5.o0o.000 has since been
sold. In addition to this loan the cor
poration has borrowed s10,oo0,0eo. for
which It has pledged the equity in the
pledged sugar and certain other assets.
The circular sets forth that the value
Of the pledged sugar even at the pres
ent low price IL nearly sufficient to
liquidate both loans. In other words, II
the corporation sells the balance of its
sugar even at the prevailing low price
Il can pay off almost all Its present
! indebtedness TO the banks.
1t needs. however. S10,000,000 to pre-
pare for the coming crop, and this It
has arranged 70 borrow provided til
dcbenture holders to sufficient amount
agree to subordinate their debentures to
this new loan, which IS to be for one
year or for any renewal thereof. The
dcbenture holders arc not asked to con-
sent TO the mortgagfng OF any OF the
property.
The circular points out that from its
organization in 1915 to the end Of the
fiscal year 1890 the corporation, after
the setting aside OF S10.000.0oo for de-
probation, but before the payment of
taxes and interest, had made profits of
ss3.301,17 OF which s25,556,4S7.04
has been reinvested in the property.
Si0,165,125.0 paid for Government
taxes. and s17.o79.6id.06 paid TO secur-
ity holders. The estimated value Of Its
land. plants and equipment aggregates
approximately ss0,0e0.000. Net current
assets (taking unsold sugars at 2%
cents pound) after deducting accept
ances and existing bank loans, amount
10 st5.000.000. Therefore. against net
assets OF $s5.o00.000, there are out-
standing only the s25.000.0o0 OF ten
year debentures.
