rather than an assurance Of its preserva-

ground to expect the halting of these in

largely concerned find a satisfactory
basis for an agreement to effect their
Limitation. The time is believed TO be
opportune for these powers to approach
this subject directly and in conference;

OF armament the question Of naval arna-

can be no final assurance of the peace

this desire finds expression in a practical

TAX RELIEF
FOR MARRIED
NOT UNLIKELY
Increase of Exemption From
$1,000 to $500 Under
Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-An increase
in the income tax exemption from 5000
to $500 for the heads of families was
considered today by the House Ways
and Mes Us Committee.
This additional relief from tax
burdens was urged by Representative
Bacharach. New Jersey, and Green,
Iowa, in addition to the increase from
$500 to $400 exemption for each minor
child and dependent. The latter has
been approved by the committee.
1t was urged that the increased ex-
emptions were necessary to meet In
creased living costs of the ordinary fam
lily and could be made without forcing a
certain Treasury deficit. They would
meet the Democratic opposition to the
tax revision which is claiming most of
the tax reductions made have been for
the benefit of the rich

Invitation Sent
to World POIUeTs

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-secretary
Hughes late today made public the text
of President Harding's formal invitation
to the powers to the Washington con-
ference The text follows:
THE President is deeply gratified at
the cordial response to his suggestion
that there should be a conference on the
subject of Limitation Of armament in con-
nection with which the Pacific and Far
Eastern questions should also be dis
cussed.
-Producttvs labor is staggering under
an economic burden too heavy to be borne
unless the present vast public expendi-
lures are greatly reduced.
cit is idle to look for stability or the
insurance Of social justice, or the Sc
curity OF peace, while wasteful and IN
productive outIays deprive effort Of its
5ust reward and defeat the reasonable
expectation Of progress.
THE enormous Disbursements IN the
riValries OF ornaments manifestly con-
stituts tie greater part Of the encum-
brance upon enterprise and national
prosperity: and aToidable or extravagant
expense Of this nature is not only with
out economic justification but is a con-

LUMPKIN BANK
LOOT Is FOUND
Missing Deeds And Poll
cies Picked Up Near
Poulan

LUMPKIN, March 10.-Customers
of the Bank Of Lumplin, bank until
recently in business in this town,
were much gratified on receiving the
news this week of the finding OF
their deeds, fire and insurance poll
cies, and other papers Of value to
themselves, which were sto en- by
yeggmcn last October.
1t will be remembered that yegg-
men entered the vault Of that bank
and rifled all the safety deposit
boxes. These various boxes con-
tanned many papers of value only to
the owners, besides a good many con-
tanning Liberty Bonds, War Savings
Stamps, a small amount of currency
and some jewelry, all Of which with
their personal papers were stolen.
Some of the registered bonds were
found early in January near Yates,
Vile, buried in a fruit jar under a
country church. They were discoy-
cred by a workman, there who saw
the freshly dug earth under the
church and on investigation the reg
istered bonds that were stolen were
found and promptly returned to their
proper owners.
Last week rural carrier in going
on his rounds from Poulan, Ga, dis.
covered near the road in a swampy
place about one mile from Poulan a
pile of papers which he saw should
be Investigated. They proved to be
the remaining papers stolen from the
banks vault, with exception of bonds
cash, stamps and jewelry.. 1t is a
relief to the owners to secure even
this much of their lost property, rs
it is considerable trouble and eN
pense to have duplicated some of the
very, necessary papers that were
stolen
There is no clue as to by whom the
papers were placed in these widely
separated places.

WIFE NOT THIEF
FOR SOUANDERING
HUBBY'S MONEY

SAVANNAH, March 1O.-"If
every woman who squanders her
husbands money were guilty Of
larceny, the penitentiary would not
be large enough"
This was one of the several wit
'ty remarks passed by Judge Peter
W. Meldrim in the superior court
as he sat in Judgment upon the
case of Mrs. Minnie Cohen against
her husband, H. Cohen. Mrs. Co.
hen was seeking to have the court
order her husband to pay her ali
mony. She was unsuccessful in
the attempt.
Mr.. Cohen conducts a second
hand shoe store. Mrs. Cohen con-
tended she left her husband because
he called her thief" Mr.. Cohen
subsequently field suit for divroce,
alleging cruel treatment, insofar
as he says Mrs. Cohen abused him
in his store and threw shoes at
him. When Judge Meldrim heard
the testimony about the shoe
throwing he said: u
"You should feel complimented
that anyone should throw shoes at
you at their present. high pricesw
A little further on the testimony
developed Mr., Cohen made about
$25 week in his business. The
judge expressed considerable sur
prise that anyone handling shoes
should make such small profit
per week.
When Mr.. Cohen was on the
stand, Col. Robert L. Colding, at
torney of Mrs. Cohen, flashed Mr.,
Cohen's divorce petition and at
tepmted to construe from the allie
cation therein that Mrs. Cohen
took her husbands. money. and
squandered it that she had been
dubbed thief. Then Judge. Mel
drim gave his momentous decison
which leads this story. Z
