ASSEMBLY DISCARDS
RULE OF UNANIMITY
Changes Article 26 So as to
Make Three-fourths Vote
Sufficient.
BIZ the Associated Press.

GENEVA, Oct 3.--The assembly of the
League of Nations made amendment of
the covenant easier by adopting to-day
change in Article 26, requiring unan-
unity for amendments. and Immediately
began consideration Of the proposed al
terations in the covenant under the new
rule. Article 26 now reads:
Amendments to the present covenant.
the text of which shall have been voted
by the assembly on a three-fourths ma
jority, in which there shall be included
the votes OF all the members of the
council represented at the meeting. will
take effect when ratified by ths MEM
bers of the league whose representa-
tives composed the council when the
vote was taken and by majority OF
those whose representatives formed the
assembly"
The first amendment debated under
the new rule was proposed by the Greek
delegation. 1t would modify Article 16
to the effect that no State shall proceed
to blockade a country breaking the cove
nant before the date fixed by the coun-
Gil. The smaller States. including Hol-
land and Poland. however. opposed any
action in fixing the blockade regula-
tions. They pointed out that countries,
moved either by interest or animosity.
might anticipate the action Of the coun-
Gil and blockade on their own account
before the question had been suffi-
ciently studied.
The Albanian n-Greco-Jugo-Slav prob
lem broke out again unexpectedly. but
| finally was disposed of so far as this
assembly Is concerned by the declara-
| ton of the Albanian delegation that 1t
| would accept this decision OF the AM
| ha GAG dors' Council.
| Lord Robert Cecil took occasion to
| score the Ambassadors for their delay
saying: I'VE have heard that the Am
bassadors are about to give their de-
| cision. / hope and trust 1t Is so. be-
| cause, If / may venture very respect
| fully to say SO to such an august body
| delays in such a matter are criminal
to the peace of the world. The running
| sore Of the Balkans was one Of the
causes of the great war. We have no
right to leave questions such as this un-
| settled"
| 1t has been understood that the AM
bassadors' resolution would proclaim
the necessity of maintaining the -polit-
ical and territorial integrity of Albania.
| Some small states find that member
ship to the league Is costing them large
sums. China and Venezuela being par
| ticularly dissatisfied. They fought the
plan for fixing each country's share
while 1t was being discussed in commit
| tee and will continue their opposition
| on the floor of the assembly.
| The budget for next year, amounting
! to 20.750,0o0 gold francs. 10000 francs
less than for 1921, was taken up after
the recess. The decrease Is due to a
reduction In committee. the appropria-
| tion for the international labor office
being reduced from 100000 francs to
! 6.500,000 francs.

Each family in the United
States, according to the Off
cial estimates, consists of father,
mother and two and one-third
children.
This came to light in the Gen.
sus Bureau reports, which showed
the average family in the United
States as consisting of 4.3 per-
sons. 1t showed, further, that
the size of American families is
growing steadily smaller.
In 1880, the first time such fig
ures were compiled, the average
for each family was persons;
j.. 1890 the average was 40; in
1900, the average was At; in
1910 it was AS, and in 1920 it

Washington. An appeal for every

U. 8. RECOGNITION OF GREEK
REGIME EXPECTED SOON
C0nstantine's Government TO BE Rec
ognized Formally at Capital,
Indications Point.

Washington. Recognition of the
Greek Government Of King Constan-
tine by the United States Is expected
to result shortly from active negotia-
lions which have been instituted by
the Greek Government with the State
Department through the Greek lega-
ton here.
Letters from King Constantine and
queen Mother Olga, 1t became known
recently, containing the formal an
nouncement of the ascension to the
throne of the King, have been trans
mitted to the State Department by the
Greek Legation.
One of the obstacles to recognition
of King Constantine by the United
States, it was said by State Depart
ment officials of the last administra-
ton, was the lack of receipt from the
King of formal notification of his TAX
ing over the government Of Greece.
Upon this having been made known to
the Greek Government by the State
Department, the letters Of nOtifica-
ton were promptly forwarded.
In addition to this the Greek Gov
eminent has presented the State De-
partment with a declaration made to
the American Minister at Athens by
the Greek Minister by which the new
Greek Government has acknowledged
all obligations incurred by the gov
eminent of Venizelos, particularly its
foreign loans.
Included | nthe plea Of the Greek
Government for recognition has been
an appeal to the United States for the
payment of the fourth installment of
the loan from the credit of $4S,OO0,O00
granted the Venizelos government by
the United States Treasury. Under
this credit cash advances Of $1,000
900 we're made b ythe Wilson admin
istration. The negotiations conducted
by the Greek Government through the
Legation here looking to recognition
an dthe further extension of loans
were begun shortly before the expira-
ton Of the last administration and
have for the moment ceased. They are
expected, however, to be continued
when the new administration has sig
nified its desire to examine the ques-
ton after other problems Of foreign
policy no wbefore the Secretary of
State have been surveyed.

tracts awarded and S4,964,O5O in con-

with the totals for the previous week

344, respectively. The number of mis-
cellaneous enterprises, including fac
tories of various kinds, warehouses,
power plants, oil refineries, garages;
hospitals and similar structures shows
a big increase over the preceding
week, contracts awarded amounting to
$1,396,000, compared with $4S0,S1S for

continues, he added, the Severe agri-
cultural depression Is inevitable" and
1t will certainly be communicated to
Industry and business generally.
1T is terrible indictment of our
modern civilization" Mr.. Wallace as
serted, when this great country Is In
the period Of what might almost be
called economic chaos because OF our
great surplus food supply while across
the seas, In both directions, almost
half the world is suffering for want Of
food
IF our statesmen had given more
though to getting the world back on
sound economic basis and perhaps
had spent less time on idealistic
schemes and theories they would have
rendered great contribution to the
peace and orderliness and happiness
o fthe people on the earth"
The department, the secretary said,
would do everything possible to find
an outlet for the great fool surplus.
Ways Of producing more cheaply, new
uses for surplus crops and better mar
keting systems, he said, would help
the situation.
Everything which influences the
production and price must be consid-
cred, the secretary said--competition
from foreign lands where the stand
ards Of living are lower than here,
world conditions Of supply and de-
mand, administration o fthe credit ma
chinery and fthe transportation sys-
tenn. Thise who control the finances
Of the country have the power to in
fluence, either directly or indirectly,
through credit extension, Il large
amount of control over prices of farm
products, lie asserted, adding
"In short the people of the Nation
must come to understand that our
prosperity as a nation depends on
prosperous and wholesome agricult-
ture"

The various cities, counties and
states will not allow their road work
to lag because Of delay in getting ma

This present work is in addition to
large contracts awarded during the
past few months, work which is now
under way or else the contractors are

In Hickory, KY, $175,OOO will be ex-
pended in paving work of various
kinds.
In addition to the large amount Of
construction now under
way and contracted for the number of
new projects steadily increases. In

cost of 100000. Plans are being pre-
pared in Tulsa, Okla, for theater to
