BLAIR NOMINATED FOR
INTERNAL REVENUE JOB

David H. Blair, Of Winston-Salem,
N. c., has been nominated by Presi-
dent Harding to be commissioner 81
internal revenue.
The nomination is before the sem
ate for confirmation, and & Is also
stated that no consideration has been
given yet to the appointment Of
prohibition commissioner, that mat
ter remaining as on March 4.
Possible transfer Of the prohi-
bition unit from the treasury tn the
of justice, Mr.. Mellon
says, would not necessarily alter
plans for appointment Of a new pro-
hibition commissioner when the cues
ton was considered. Such transfer
was being considered, he said as a
part Of departmental reorganiza-
tion plans being worked out by the
administration.

There is a sufficient supply Of
American-grown soy bean. seed Of
proved varieties to plant a greatly
increased acreage. The United States
Department Of Agriculture, therefore
feels warranted in recommending that
farmers under no circumstances plant
their fields TO imported soy bsan seed.
The attention Of the department
has been called to the presence on
the market of imported soy bean seed
for planting purposes, This is ex-
ceedingly undesirable, as the varie-
ties grown in oriental countries are
very numerous, and the majority Of
the varieties are not nearly so pro-
ductive as those commonly grown in
the United States. The Department
of Agriculture has tested over ] 900
introductions from various parts of
the Orient, and the majority Of these
are much inferior I'd the best varie-
ties grown in this country. Imported
seed usually is a mixture Of varieties,
even II the seeds be apparently the
same.
In the Orient the small grower sells
his crop To the small town buyer, who
in turn sells the seed collected from
many growers to the merchant at the
nearest railway point. All such seed
is classed merely as yellow, black,
green or brown, no attention being
given to the numerous varieties hav-
ing smaller Seeds. It will be seen
readily that the shipper at the sea-
port will have 4 considerable mixture
Of varieties in the different color
groups. Quite recently from d small
package Of imported yellow beans, is
different sorts were selected by seed
characters
Any farmer planting such seed Isl
taking an unwarranted risk, and the
chances are practically certain he will
have the experience reported by. a
Massachusetts farmer, who planted
a feur-pound package Of imported
soy bean seed in 1920: 81 found that
there was almost every known variety
of soy bean in that package. AIT
harvesting some were dead ripe,
others IN all stages to those that were
just setting pods. Some very low
and from this all thesway
up to those that would have climbed

Increasing Labor Trouble
 Caused By Unemploy- ment In Oil Distgls
 Prompts Official Action
IRepubIican A. P. Leased WIre]

WASHINGTON, July s. The cruiser Cleveland and the gunboat Sacramento have been ordered to Tampico, Mexico, to protect Ameri- can interests in the event that they are jeopardized because of labor troubles growing out of the unem- ployment situation, it was said today at the navy department.
 The Sacramento should reach Tampico today from Galveston. The Cleveland was ordered from Cristo- bal, Canal Zone. and probably will not reach Tampico before Thursday. Both vessels are assigned to the American special service squadron in South and Central American waters. Rear Admiral H. F. Bryan com- manding.
 It was explained at the navy de- partment that unemployment had been constantly increasing in and around Tampico because of depres- sion in the oil industry there due to the new tax system, and that incip- tent riots and increasing labor | troubles had resulted in a decision
 to send the two warships to the
 Mexican ports to protect American
 interests.
 > It was said, however, that the ves- Fsel would take no action, unless q more SerlOuS SltuallOn arose. Reports from Tampico yesterday
 that several ships of the Atlantic fleet had arrived were declared at tho
 department to be premature. Information had reached the nav, 1 department that oil companies a 1 Tampico' were to suspend shipments of oil June 30, and that this would result in throwing a~great many per sons out of employment, Secretar, I Denby said. In view of these re- ports, he added, it was thought bes to order the Sacramento and tn, .I Cleveland to the scene to protect, i \ necessary. American citizens ant commercial interests in and arouns T Tampico.
 The action was taken by the nav. Il department independently. the secre
 tary said, and had no internationa significance.

 LONDON, July 5.-(By Canadian Press) )-The British governments at utude of six months ago. is voiced in parliament by Lord Lee, first lord of the admiralty, and Premier Lloyd George, namely, that the imperial conference must deal with the ques- tion Of imperial naval policy on a cooperative basis. appears to have been altogether abandoned.
 l It is said that virtually unani- nous agreement has been reached by
 the conferees that a decision on the naval problem can be delayed for the present and that in any event the | matter is one to be determined by the
 various parliaments and not by any
 conference. It is added. that until a disarmament conference material izes. or the idea is abandoned. very little will be heard of either British or dominion naval schemes. Today's conference hinged around I the desirability of securing cheaper communication between various ports Of the empire. Much was made Of tho fact that for every line of empire

 there were pages and columns ol sporting and divorce news Premier lNeighen of Canada took occasion tt point out that since landing in Eng.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, July 5.-Op- position to the inclusion of education as one of the subdivisions in the proposed department of public well fare in the federal government was expressed by Dr. George D. Strayer of New York, chairman of the legis- lative committee of the National Educational association. at tonight session of its convention here. l The legislative committed, Dr. Strayer reported, insists that if the department of public welfare is created. education should be taken out of it. that friends of education might be permitted to continue their efforts for an independent department | of education.
 Dr. Strayer reported that the com mittee had met with powerful in- fluences, that were intended to defeat our purposes" in supporting the Smith Towner bill before the last session of congress" The Smith . Towner bill provides for the creation of 8 separate federal department oi education.
 We have preserved our organiza- tion." Dr. Strayer said, and we have continued our efforts. Members oi congress have come to respect the organized teachers Of the country as never before.
 Members of our profession have come to realize that by working to- gether we can become a great in- fluence for the promotion. of the highest ideals of our country"

Trafficking In
 Children Strips
 Chinese Villages
fRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

PEKING, June 2-Delayed)- Statistics on the sale of children, wives and daughters n-law in the south China district prepared by the International famine relief committee, though covering but a fraction of the entire famine area, indicate the extent of the traffic carried on. Between deaths and sales. many villages are completely stripped of children. The prices appear to have ranged from $1 to $15O, with one instance reported of girl bringing $S50.
 Although the traffic was due primarily to poverty, it appears from the investigation made that dealers worked upon the cupidity of fathers and husbands in many cases and resorted to adroit. meas ures to evade the law and recruit victims for various questionable purposes. There were instances of regular marriage papers being exc cuted; others used contracts of sale, either for life or for stated term of years.
 The uses for which purchases were made have been classified as follows:
 Adopted. children, wives, concu- pines, actors, servants and prosti- tutes. Many parents too poor to support their offspring attempted to give them away when no pur- chasers were to be found.
