VARYING DUTIES
 ON OIL PROPOSED
 10 SENATE BODY
Mid- Continent Producers Ask Protection = Consumers and Mexican Interests
 Oppose High Tariff
Ry Asaoclnted Press

Washington, December 29.-Vary- ing duties on crude oil were proposed before the Senate finance committee today by spokesmen for mid-conti- nent producers and all duties were opposed by American producers op- erating in Mexico and representa- tives of various classes of oil con sumers in this country.
 Renewing the fight for tariff levy, which was lost in the house by an overwhelming vote. Senatord Har- reid. republican, Oklahoma, said he was satisfied with the origin rates proposed by the ways and means committee, S5. cents a barrel on crude and % cents a barrel on fuel. Sen- ator Curtis of Kansas. republican member dq the finance committed, has introduced an amendment to the tariff bill proposing these duties.
 A duty of s1 barrel was urged by Harry II. Smith of Tulsa, okla.. sec retary of the Mid-C Continent Oil and Gas association. who said this would equalize the difference in the costs of production in Mexico and in the mid-eontinent field. w. Il. Gray If Tulsa representing the National As sociation of Independent oil Pro ducers, suggested no specific rates. but urged that the President be em- powered to assess duty equivalent to the combined import and export leyies imposed by Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, from which the chief American imports come.
 Small Wells
 Spokesmen for the domestic pro- ducers said, and some members of the committee agreed, that the mid continent industry was in a bad con dition at this time. MT. Smith said that 100000 small wells could not continue in operation at present prices and that tariff ought to be enacted both as a protection and conservation measure.
 Opponents of duty on oil said tariff protection was not necessary dIlu Woulu StINt Ouly u lHcTtdSe lHc price to all consumers. They laid particular stress upon what they said would be the effect on the farmers. the merchant marine, the navy. the consumers of manufactured gas. rail roads and industries using oil for fuel and upon the users of automo- piles. trucks and tractors.
 II also was argued by the oppo- nents that higher priced oil would increase the cost of and retard road building and building operations over the country and that since the government aided in constructing the roads it would have to pay part of the duty. This also was true. they said, with respect to oil used by tas- navy.

Delaware and Hudson Com pany Announces New Plan.
 Others To Follow
By Associated Press

New York, December 2s.-Many railroads of the country soon may insure their employees, 1t was indi oated tonight, after the Delaware and Hudson company announced 1t had taken out group life and permanent disability insurance for everyone who has been on its payrolls six months or more.
 Large insurance underwriters said that other railroads were negotiating tor similar protection for their em- ployesA

 At death the insurance will be paid in lump sum and to permanently or totally disabled workers, in month- ly installments. A plan by which the workers banded in class groups could increase the amount to a maximum of $5,000 each, the company to pay part of the additional premium and the men the remainder, was also an- nounced- In addition the company said 1t had arranged for the workers tc take out lat exceedingly low rates' insurance against accidents not cov- cred by the workmens compensation laws, loss of work through sickness and also unemployment.
 No medical examination iS to be required. Employes leaving the serv- ice for any reason can exchange their certificates without medical examina- :, ton for policies of the same amounts, paying the regular rates for their ages at the time of substitution.
 Group Plan
 Groups of employees, consisting of not less than three-fourths of those in any one class, who desire insur- ance above $500, must apply for it before March 31. For each additional $500 the employe must pay so cents month, the company paying the premium in excess of this amount.
 Sick and accident insurance are to be borne entirely by the policy holder applying for it. the insurance to be paid beneficiaries for six months at s15 week. the sickness premium be- ipg $1.25 month and accident insur- ance. at 24 cents a month.

dispute over phraseology blocked formal adoption of an affirmatory resolution, and the subject was laiI aside for consideration by special subcommittee on drafting. The na- val committee itself then began what promises to be a prolonged debate over the American proposal to pro- hibit use of submarines against mer- chant vessels altogether.
 Meantime. the subcommittee on air craft decided to abandon any effort to limit the alrplane strength of the powers. and to recommend instead that an attempt be made to agree on restrictions that would make air warfare conform with considerations of humanity. Even such regulations, however, were said to be considered by subcommittee members as diffi- cult of fornSulation

EDUCATION PAYS

Flfty-slX years ago the little king dom of Denmark, with soil not naturally fertile, and with a harsh climate, was one of the poorest coun- tries in Europe. There had just been wrested from her her two richest provinces, and the financial depres- slon that followed seemed to point to her extinction as a nation Yet today thls country exports almost $100,- 100000 worth of dairy products, and her people rank as among the veal thest and most comfortable of the peoples of the world. What has wrought this change? Several fac tors have contributed, but none more than fine system of education, which has aimed primarily at de veloping intelligent men and women of high character, able to think and act for themselves. Most important of all, this education has been wisely directed towards fostering a belief in themselves, and trust in their fellow Icountrymen, and towards keeping alive their live for their Fatherland. It is not too much to say that but for discovering the potency of school power, eDnmark would not today be an independent nation.
 sI not the rise of political and in- dustrial Germany before the World War, also great triumph in favor of education? One of the common places of educational history is the rise of Prussia, after the crushing defeat at Jena in 1906, when, to all outside eyes, she was at the point of political and industrial disintegra- ton. Yet just at that time her lead CTS had wisely determined "to supply the loss of territory by intellectual efforts" As regards the power of the schools to build up country po- litically, industrially and otherwise, Bismark's testimony in 1895 is inter esting: If l had not found in our nation the preparatory work of the secondary teachers profession, I do not believe that my work, or the work in which I have collaborated, would have met with such success" All the leaders in the different branches of German national life, political, social, industrial, pass through the secondary school stage at least, and therefore have a high average of culture and training. Moltke described Sedan as battle won by the schoolmaster, but Renan summed it up better perhaps when he said: Ut was not the needle gun, it was not the German soldier

"It is one that I know to be reliable. sure use it for the liver, stomach. constipation. indigestion, and it has done me world of good. We use it for the family, and 1t g,ces satisfaction.
 Most trouble, or sickness, comes from the liver, and if taken in time can be avoided. That is why I use Black-Draught as do. I ana much pleased with results obtained"
 Thedford's Black-Draught is purely vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent 1y stimulating the liver, and helps in crease the normal flow of bile into the intestInes. It assists in the digestion of food, and relieves constipation in prompt and natural way.
