HARDING HAS PLAN
 FOR TARIFF BILLS
President-EleCt Drafting Busy
 Program for Special Session

Washington, Feb. 21.-President- elect Harding has approved a pro- gram of tariff and tax legislation for the extra session of congress com prising two tariff bills. a temporary and a permanent measure with tax legislation sandwiched in between, Chairman Fordney, of the house ways and means committee announced to- day upon his return from a confer ence with Mir. Harding at St. Augus- tine.
 Mir. Fordney said his committee would turn its attention to the new program as soon as the pending emergency tariff measure was out of the way. There was said to be some sentiment among committee members for re-enactment of the Payne-Al- drtch law as stop gap measure, that being the shortest possible way such proposition could be handled in congress. MT. Fordney was inclined to favor such a proceeding although he felt that some of the rates were not in proper relation to the present exchange situation
 Many details of the program agreed will be worked out in the senate and house leaders and submitted again to Mir. Harding it is understood. In this connection MT. Fordney said that we Tn congress will never have Mir. Hard Ing against us because we will reach an agreement with him on everything before starting on any legislation"

 Tho concern comprises ". Wilson Herrick. floor member: E. Eversley Bennett Frank l.. Scheffey, J. Fl. B. Rebhann and Franklin W. Palmer. Jr.
 The firm issued a statement assert ing that "heavy unautho orized specula- ton" by certain employees coupled with their studied failure to have fa- vored customers of theirs cover mar gin calls resulted in the suspension.
 The firm asserted it had no knowl edge of the employees alleged action until Saturday. when one was said to have made "a clean breast of It."
 ''The nasty and cursory exar1lna- ton of our books which we were able to make over Sunday convinced US that the best course to pursue, having in mind the interests of all concerned. was to make a general assignment" continued the statement.
 Time, however. has not permitted us to ascertain the exact condition of our affairs, but we hope that our con- dition is only temporary"

last thirty years is as great as that
in the preceding 2S0 years.
The present-day consumption of
milk in the United States, they say,
is equal to about one pint per day. or
as much as two small glasses. Thar
is not great amount when It IS
known that 1t includes not only the
milk that is used for drinking, but
also that used in cooking. This is
a small amount compared to the per
capita consumption in some European
countries. In Sweden and Switzer-
land, for example, nearly 70 gallons
are used by each person annually.
A high value has always been
placed on COWS in many European
countries, and history records cam
paign conducted by julius Caesar In
central Europe where he found Ger
man tribes living almost exclusively
on milk. In order TO provide pastures
for their cows they forcibly resisted
the settlement of any people near
them.
In relating the growth Of the dairy
industry in this country, the depart
ment specialists say that in pioneer
days each family kept its own cow.
The denser the population became the
more important 1t was to have well
regulated and ample commercial sup
ply of milk. Gradually the number
Of cows increased, and In time a dairy
business grew up in various sections.
The development Of modern methods
in the distribution of milk, with eco
nomic sanitary handling, has been
closely accompanied by the larger use
Of this food, they say.
Much of the milk now used in cities
comes many miles. and recently i'm
proved methods have made 1t pos
sible to ship 1t for long distances in
refrigerator cars. At the national
dairy show in Chicago in 1919. milk
shipped from the Pacific coast took
first prize in the market-milk compe-
tition with the highest score ever CIV.
en- to milk In recent years.
Cities have always used smaller
amount Of milk in. proportion to the
number of people than general farm
Ing communities. the statistics show.
For example, Philadelphia reached the
rate of 23 gallons per capita In 1905.
| which was fifteen years later than the
country at large reached a cOnsump-
tion Of % gallons. There are, how
ever. many agricultural and nonagri-
cultural rural districts where cows
are not kept and where modern meth
ods Of milk distribution are not equal
to most cities. The people in such
places have to depend on canned milk
Of various kinds. and this, the dairy
men say. Is an exceedingly valuable
means Of supplying need which ~
or 80 years ago could not have been
supplied at all.
