The Federal Bureau of Education includes

The harm is by no means confined to chill

If health is valuable to childhood it is valu-
able always. If harm to health should be avoided

BILL OFFERED TO
Give HOME RULE
TO FLORIDA CITIES
Representative Mckenzie to Offer
Measure Permitting Cities to
Amend Their Own Charters

Tallahassee, April 26.-The first
time a call of counties is made in the
house this week for the introduction
of new bills, there will be one dropped
in the hopper for the purpose of in
creasing the pay of the members of
the legislature to $40 a day The meas
be presented by Representative Busto
of Monroe county. 1t will. of course,
be in the nature of joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the con
stitution, and will have to be ratified
by the popular vote of the people be-
fore it can become effective.
The provision of the. constitution
adopted in 1885, regarding the pya of
Legislators, sets forth that each ses-
sion shall fix the pay of it's own mem
bers and attaches, but limits the
amount to Sc day and mileage from
their homes to the capital and re-
turn. At the time that part of the
constitution was written it was pos
sible for a member to get good board
here for four and five dollars a week.
Now tits about three times that much,
and in most instances four times.
1t was possible then, it is pointed
out, for member of the Legislature
to come here, live like a prince, so to
speak, and carry a little money back
home with him. The general rule now
lis that the members spend more for
actual living expenses during The sixty
days they are at the capital than the
total sum they draw for their services.
Mr.. Busto does not think the people
want their legislators to be compelled
to do that. At least he contends it
cannot do any harm to give them a
chance to express themselves at the
polls. 1t is therefore his intention to
give them that opportunity, if three
fifhs of the other members will agree
with him, and vote their convictions

MAY AnnIY Penalties

Paris, April 26.-The possibility OF
applying penalties to Germany imme-
diately after May l, despite whatever
proposition Germany may make To
garding reparations in general, is be-
ing seriously considered, according to
weIl-informed French circles today
Such action would be because of the
German refusal to transfer one bill
lion gold marks to the Rhineland or
hand ever the equivalent of that sum
as demanded by the reRarations COM
mission.
1t is held in French official circles
that the failure of the Germans to
pass the balance of the 20.000,000,OOQ
gold marks due May 1under the pro-
visions of Article 235 of the treaty OF
Versailles is entirely independent OF
the negotiations regarding the sum
total of the reparations she must
eventually pay. The treaty nxes alb
solutely this amount which, being un-
paid, justifies the application of pen
elites, according to this theory, what
ever course may lie taken regarding
the fixinf of the total amout.
1t is semi officially stated that the
French feel unable longer to allow
infractions of the treaty to remain
without penalty.

tratiOn
DR.. Walter Simons. German for
eign minister, was expected to make
public today at least the outstanding
points of Germany's proposals. He
withheld information as to details of
the terms yesterday because of an
understanding with e. L. Dresel,
American commissioner in Berlin, hut
it was authoritatively asserted the
sum Germany would he willing ulti.
mately to pay would be approximately
200, 100000 gold marks or in the
neighborhood of $4,000, 100000. 1t
was declared the German government
had suggested that the amounts, to
be paid annually, should be condi-
toned upon the economic recovery of
the country. In addition, the floating
of an international loan was urged.
In addition to the proposals offered
by the German government the SUI
preme council will be called upon to
consider the answer of Berlin to a de-
mand from the allied reparations COM
mission for the payment of 1000, ,000,-
900 gold marks before Saturday. This
sum was asked as result of the at
titude the Berlin cabinet has taken to-
ward the demand that the gold hold
ingS of the ReichSbank be transferred
from Berlin to either Coblenz or Co.
logne and in view of Germany's fail
ure to fulfill the provisions of Article
235 OF the Versailles treaty. This ar
ticle called upon Germany to pay to
the allies the equivalent of $4,000, 900,
before May l, 1921.
There are indications that allied
military experts will be called into
consultation by tn esupreme council
on Saturday il the German repara-
tion terms prove unsatisfactory.
Marshal Foeh, Gen. de Goutte and
several other prominent figures of the
French army, will, it is said, accom-.
pany Premier BRAND on his trip to
this city.

Hughes, it is understood. to study the
proposals carefully before making
them public.
He will also probably take up the
questions involved directly with the

their representatives here in order to
