HARDING HEARS WOMEN

WASHINGTON. Aug I7.-The uues-
'ion or open or secret sessions at the
disarmament conference started a
Senate debate today in which Demo
Gratis criticized some OF the stems
taken by the administration, and
Chairman Lodge, or the Foreign Hes
iations commitfe. who hasN been
selected ms one OF tho American dele.
gates. gave his colleagues some
glimpses OF the attitude he intends n
adopt in the conference
Tho outburst was short lived and
failed to develop any general expre,.
sion of Senate opinion on the sub
ject OF public or closed sessions.
further debate on the question was
assured. however, by presentation for
futurc consideration OF Il measure
which would instruct the American
delegates To insist that the confer
encc sit with open doors.
Wants General Disarmament.
Senator Lodge did not express his
views in regard to publicity, bur he
did assert that in the negotiations
over disarmament itself he would
hold to the principle that the only
solution was general disarma-
ment" He declared no one would
work more earnestly for disarmament
than he. but that he would hold to an
unshaken conviction that to insure
ha L.
ducticns" all along the line.
Later in the day the foreign rela-
tions chairman, speaking on a good
roals bill, asserted IL was false econ
omy to save money for roads by TAX
Ing II away from the army and the
navy, whose reduction, he asserted,
had been carried TOO far already
under existing conditions. Without
specific mention OF the disarmament
proposals he reaflirmed his belief that
this country could not now make
further curtailmcnts in its military
and naval establishments without
mcnacing national security.
Listens to Picn of Women.
While the Senate debate was in
progress, President Harding listentcd
to the plea of II group OF women
political leaders that he appoint a
woman on the American delegation to
the conference. and told them he was
confident n way would be found to
utilize woman's influence and in
stitution TO aid in the success of the
negotiations. The Presidents words
were variously interpreted by mem
bers OF the group. but II was said he
rcfraincd from Il specific statement
whether woman would sit in the
conference.
Those who took tho petition to the
White House were acting for the Ma
tional League of Women voters.
whose President, Mrs. Maudc Wood
Park, headed the group and presented
q Resolution on the success adopted
at recent convention OF the league.
Before their Interview with Mr..
Harding the women distributed n
series of statements assailing Rep
rcscntativc Alice Robertson, of Okla
homa, for her declaration that IL
would be difficult to find woman
qualified to act as a delegate. In all
OF the statements, II was asserted.
that Miss Robertson could in no
sense be regarded as competent
spokesman OF American womanhood.

WALLACE APPOINTS COMMITTEE
TO CONSIDER LAND PROBLEMS
Secretary OF Agriculture Appoints
Committee Of Specialists to Con-
slider Land Problems.

Washington, D. C. - Appointment of
a committee Of five scientists of the
Department of Agriculture to consider
the entire problem of land utilization,
especially with respect to the country's
future requirements, was announced
by Secretary Wallace.
In appointing the committee Secre-
tary Wallace suggested that, as the
basis of the work to be undertaken,
careful consideration should be devot-
ed to the country's present crop pro-
duction, home consumption and for
eign demand, relating the land now
under cultivation to present and near
future demands 1t seems to the Secre-
tary that this study should be follow
ed by a more careful survey and class
ification than has yet been made of
lands which can be brought under cul-
tivaticn in the future, and the condi-
lions necessary to make it profitable
under the pillow.
The suggested survey would include
| the arid lands of the West suitable for
irrigation. swamp lands which can be
reclaimed by drainage, and the cut
over timber lands of the various Sec
lions. In studying the cut-over lands
consideration will be given to their
possibilities both for cultivation and
for reforestation.
| The personnel of the committee Of
five is as follows:
| DR.. L. C. Gray, Agricultural Econ
| omist, Office of Farm Management ant
Farm Economics, Chairman.
| CIV. Piper, Agrostologist in Charg
Forage Crop Investigations, Bureau o
Plant Industry.

, Husbandry Division, Bureau of Anima

, Soil Survey Investigations, Bureau c

VIII Engagement Ring for Man and n
Wedding Ring For Husband
Come.

Custom has decreed that when
man receives from the woman he loves
a promise that she will be his wife
he should forthwith buy her a ring
II is an excellent custom-according
tosthe jeweller.
Most ancient and modern lovers
have observed it, but modern lovers
are going one better. Instead OF one
ring, two are bought, and they are not
both for the lady. Jack and jill co
gether wear the sign Of their engage
ment.
Equality of sex in voting and in the
ewes of the law is responsible for TINS
new idea. For mark you, two pockets
hear the strain. No modern, self-re'
specting Jill would allow her JACK ''
cater for his own finger.
And, when the plain gold circlet fol
lows, again ring equality is carried
out.
It is no new custom for men to wea
wedding rings. They have done so fo
ages. But 1t is a new idea that the'
should not have to pay for them. Tn
up-to-date bride insists on dong ne
share. and buys the ring for her groom
while he purchases the sign Of her ne'
estate.
So far so good; but the grumol

for forests or grazing.
The rate of expansion Of our nation
al area Is also is an important factor
for consideration. Despite the impend-
ing demand for a large expansion OF
the land basis of American agriculture,
there are many reasons why we should
consider most carefully before en-
couraging any considerable expansion
of land under cultivation, during, say
the next three years. The shrinkage in
the volume of farm exports, the many
indications of probable Increase OF
agricultural imports into this country,
and the present depression In devel-
oped agricultural areas raise serious
question as to the wisdom OF an I'M
mediate policy of stimulating the ex-
pansion of farm acreage.
