Besides a multitude of tax matters which have been held in abeyance, many import ant prohibition questions await set clement by the new commissioner, treasury officials said.
 Foremost is the issuance of regula- tions covering the use of beer for medical purposes. These regulations, it is said, have been prepared and await approval of the commissioner. It was explained Mir. Blair must de- eide whether all brewers shall be per mitted to put beer on the market for medical purposes. or only certain breweries under special permit.
 Another medical use of alcohol awaiting his attention, it was said ! is issuance of regulations lifting the 1 limit from the number of prescrip- l tions a doctor may write for whisky l One of the most delicate prohibi ] tion decisions Mir Blair will be called on to make. officials asserted, is ir 1 connection with sacramental wine Under the bureaus rules, it was saiC wholesale liquor dealers have beer l forbidden 10 do business and church es are required to obtain sacramento wine from wholesale druggists.

rRepupIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 26-EXclu- sion from the Congressional Record of speech by Representative Mi chaelson, Republican of Illinois, was demanded in the house today by Represtative Connally. Democrat of Texas on the ground that it con stituted a reflection ,,n the dignity and honor of the country. Attack on the speech was made by Mir. Con- nally after the Illinois member had spoken in support of his resolution for investigation of charges that the United States had been led into war by British propaganda and financial interests.
 MT. Connally appealed to the speaker for some way by which pub lication of the speech could be pre- vented, declaring it had been made bv .'one who is not worthy to sit in this chamber"
 In a parliamentary wrangle con- corning methods for exclusion of the speech. the session ended with a mo- ton to adjourn by Representative Haugen, Republican of Iowa.
 Mr Michaelson declared that charges by former Representative Galloway of Texas that widespread newspaper propaganda has been dis seminated to involve the United States in hostilities and had, in his opinion. been substanriated by Ga briel Hanoteaux, formerly French minister of foreign affairs. and that l congress should order sweeping in yestigation.
 i "It is the duty of congress to make | an investigation" he said. 50 that i if the charges are true future gen 1 erations will know about the financial ! combinations whose mtrigues drew l this country into war If they are not true. it is strange that Sir Gil- bert Parker now asserts that there was big propaganda movement through newspapers and teachers tt excite the American people and in- fluence them into the war on behalf 1 of Great Britain.
 ''The American people were dupeo by an interruptions combination o 1 wealth."

 been sitting as a committee for dis
 cussion of the packer control bill Mr. ConnaIly opened the attack on th' 1 Illinois member. He declared thu | Language used was the most dis

UN|ON|STS WIN MANY SEATS AS S|NN FEN LOSE
 BELFAST VOTES
Nationalists Also Show More Strength Than Leaders Anticipated;
 Socialists Lose Deposits
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

BELFAST, May 26. - Unionists have done better in the elections than they anticipated, the Sim Feiners worse than their prophets predicted and the Nationalists more than they looked for.
 All are celebrating-the Unionists because they have won; the Nationalists and Sim Fein be- cause they have made their protest against the partition of Ireland.
 Unionists expected to win 34 of the 52 seats. They will probably get nearer 40 seats.
 Daniel McCann. chief lieutenant in Belfast of Joseph Devlin, Nationalist leader, had hoped for IA seats. but did not really believe more than r Ma tionalists and Sim Feiners could be returned and he proved a good prophet.
 Belfast Unionists' Stronghold
 Counting of the ballots will not be completed probably until the end of the week, but present returns show that the Unionists made their great est gains in Belfast, where il is eX- pected they will have 15 or Is seats. Joseph Devlin is the only Nationalist or Sim Feiner who will have.a seat for Belfast and even he was beaten in his own stronghold for first place on the poll by his Unionist opponent. T. H. Burn. His colleague. Alderman Byrne. had only 31I votes, or 10000 fewer than his leader. This was due to the Nationalists giving all their first votes to Devlin.
 Sim Feiners did better than Byrne. but on the first ballot they were well behind the Unionists. The Socialists here as in other con ! -fi hpi dnnnGft xkbif- n they have to forfeit if they do not receive a certain number of votes.
 In Antrim the Unionists were pret- 1 ty certain of six of the seven seats, the other going 10 Devlin. Louis Walsh. Sim Feiner. who was 1 permitted to leave the detention camp to take part in the election and who headed the poll in the county council election, is now nearer the bottom of the poll, although there are many Sim Feiners in North Antrim and the bour. headed the list with some 17,00t as compared with Walsh's less thar 5000.
 De Valera Wins Seat
 At Derry the Unionists elected theil three candidates, all they had nomi- mated, thus leaving the other two seats to Prof. John MacNeil. Sinr ] Fein. and his Nationalist running mate.
 In County Down, where Sir lame: Craig. Ulster premier designate, anC Eamonn dc Valera, Republican lead CT. were opponents and where botf will be elected. the seats will be di- vided equally between the two sides two and two.
 The count in Tyrone is belated.
 The percentage of votes boiled Wa; high in Belfast. It reached 94. It l. noted that in many instances th' candidate whose name was first or the list, which was arranged alpha beticaIly. received the most votes For example. Sir Anderson, Unionist had nearly 2000 more than Prof MacNel. in Derry. where the Sim Feiner was expected to lead.
 The Nationalists probably will vii eight seats and the Sim Feiners fouI

 WASHINGTON, May 26.-The senate today ratified the treaty between the United States and China confirming the application Of per cent ad vaIorem duty on importations of American goods into China.
 The treaty was negotiated last October by Secretary Colby and pr. Wellington Roo, Chinese min ster to the United States.

Foreign Loans Considered

Whether to encourage further loans of private American capital to for eign governments was one question most seriously considered with most of the financiers arguing that such extensions of credit presented the most practicable means to place for eign finances on a sound basis and thus to improve American exports
 Several visiting bankers, it was said, expressed concern over the pos sibility of funds raised in this ceun- try by foreign bond issues being used to buy the products of other foreign countries. The belief was advanced that such use of American money would result unfavorably to domestic industry, especially farming.
 On the other hand, it was pointed out in some administra ton quarters today that purchase of Argentine wheat by foreign buyers wi.h money borrowed here. for example, would assist that country's business and the money would eventually find its way back into the United States in trade. Administration officials. however. discounted reports that American money was to be used to any extent in foreign markets by foreign bor- rowers. Most of the funds raised here. it was asserted. would be used

 For luncheon today NIT. Harding had as his guest Charles NJ Schw4b who advised regarding the shipping problem.
 The dinner last night was quietly arranged and no word of it made public until today.
 Many Conferences Planned
 It was understood that. while no hard and fast program was decided upon, the discussion served to cement the belief of administration officials that one of the best remedial meas ures available would be active CO., operation between the government and business men for revival of ex- port trade
 The dinner is expected to have an echo in numerous conferences in the near future between the president and other financial leaders.
 It is understood that one of the presidents chief purposes in calling the financiers into conference was 10 discuss the contemplated loan of American private capital to foreign governments and the effect Of suca a loan on the resumption of norma industrial conditions at home and on the American export tr-Se AIr.

Clock Literally Telling Time, the Lat

Having studied the matter for 10
months, Vincent Pinto and his son,
Joseph of Philadelphia invented clock
that talks. The old saying that time
will tell is now reality. The clock
speaks the time instead of striking the
time at certain intervals.
1t can be made to speak at any time
during the day; but for convenience
the model clock has been regulated to
speak every quarter of an hour. A
few seconds before, the minute hand
reaches the quarter hour, the mechan-
ism is set in operation and announces
the time with an appropriate humorous
remark. For instance, in the morning
it serves as a reminder to get up At
7 O'Clock, besides announcing the time,
it can be made TO say that breakfast
is ready AT 4:30 in the afternoon 1t
will remind mother to prepare dinner,
At 8 o'clock in the evening the chill
dren may be reminded that they should
be in bed.-Popular Science Monthly.

Making Inviting Bread Puddings.

Few people will admit that they like
bread pudding, and the reason is not
far to seek, for the watery compounds,
dotted with few currants, served un-
der that name are not very inviting or
appetizing,
/! The foundation of properly made
bread pudding usually consists OF a
generous quantity of rich milk and
eggs, with bread used as an Incidental
| DO not be deluded into using SKINNED
milk, or half milk and half water, or
emitting the given quantity of eggs,
and if you have a little cream left over
| from breakfast add that too, as it will
greatly improve the pudding.
II is the better plan to heat the
milk, and after the bread is added
mash it thoroughly with a wire po-
tato masher. Then remove from the
fire. add the beaten eggs and other in
gradients, put into buttered baking
dish and cook in pan of hot water.
The pudding will be cooked when a
thin bladed knife can be inserted in
the center and drawn out clean. So

Fresh fruit combined with bread in

the Springfield Republican, and if
sweetened whipped cream or good
hard sauce is, served with it there are
few more delicious dishes. Where acid
fruits are used the housewife should
allow a liberal amount Of sugar, other
wise the cream will not be a suitable
accompaniment.
