OHIO IS SHORT ON
 FAT FEDERAL PLUMS

Washington, July 9.--(Special)- )- Senator Willis of Ohio, who succeed ed President Harding in the Senate, under the impression that Ohio had not received justice in the form Of jobs at the hands of this adminisra- ton, presented table to the Presf- dent proving that instead of it's quota of employees under civil service, Ohio was/2,000 short
 This inspired other senators to dc- mand that in the wholesale discharge of clerks, the heads of various ae- partments bear in mind that each state was entitled to certain per centage of the jobs. It then developed that every state in the union with the exception of Maryland Virginia, West Virginia. and the District or columbia. was short of it's quota,
 The District of Columbia, entitled to only loo jobs, has about 1000. The states touching the district have like wise manytirnes the number of clerks to which they are entitled.
 The situation cannot be improved, according to the civil service com mission. Alabama will continue to be about 300 short. Georgia l,2Vo' South Carolina 400, and other states in proportion. In letter addressed to various senators, the commissioh in part says;
 Due to several Causes
 The disparity in the shares re- ceived by the states IS due to severa. causes. among them the distance or the states from Washington. with the travelling expenses necessary, and the salaries.
 "The disparity has become greater during the recent reductions. Elm ploves who, came to Washington from distant States largely through ra- triotic reasons, resigned in greas numbers. Many, knowing that reduc- tions would be made, left to- resniae teaching Ind accept other employ ment at iHme while opportunities oi securing employment were geou.

WILL NOT DEFEND
 SENATOR'S ATTACK
 ON FEDERAL BOARD
Washington Thinks Brandon Will Win Easily as Gov ernor Since Miller Has
 Stepped Out of Race
By HUGH W. RoRIsRps Washington Bureau The Herald - 300 Davidson Building

Washington, July g.~tSpeeiai.5- The administration. either through Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, or w. P. C.. Harding, gov. ernor of the federal reserve board. will make no defense against the attack of southern senators who think the deflaton policy o1 the federal reserve board responsf - ble for all the ills of, agriculture.
 At the same time, the silence of the administration and administrative officers is not to be construed as silent confession of guilt On the contrary, fiscal authorities of the government believe that the federai reserve board prevented the greatest panic that this country would have ever known,
 Whether justly or unjustly, it has become an exceedingly popular foria of amusement for southern senator's to prefer charges against the federal reserve board Senator Watson of Georgia has held the board responsi- ble for all the ills that. the country is heir to. Senator Heflin of Ala bama has charged that the board has lent, through ts member banks, money to country banks at interest rates ranging from 25 to, S79s per cent, and has lent millions to spec ulators in New York at 7sper cont. Senator simmons of North Carolina has contepded that the federal re- serve system is responsible, in great part, for the condition of agriculture today. And it's critics have not been excluded to thesee Senators Smith and Dial of South Carolina have paid their respects to the board. It's crit ics in the House have been innumer- able.
 Check on Wall Street On the other hand, certain sena- tors hold that the reserve system, operating as a check to Wall street, has prevented panic. The admins tration so holds. Officers of the board have admitted that some time ago, a panic was imminent, but that i danger of panic was now passed There came the modest suggestion that the policy of the board in with holding funds from non essential eX- penditures prevented the panic. Ex-Governor Cox of Ohio, late dem. ocratic presidential candidate, in an editorial in his newspaper pictured the condition of the country as ter-s rible, and stated his /elief without l euuivocation that but for the policy of the federal reserve system, the panic in the country would be more severe than any which has pre- i ceded.
 1 There is an intmation in admin | istration circles that some of the sen ators who pdoceede against the re- serve board are animated by politics. Whether this is true Jr not, the farm CTS of the country applaud whenever q senator charges from the floor that but for the board, the farmers would be rich. and the country, as a whole, prosperous. And thus, the

UNDERWOOD WANTS
 M,DONALp TO RUN


 Washington, July Special. )--
 The announcement. .of Lieut. Gov. Ma than L. Miller of Birmingham that he would not be a candidate for gov ernor next year, is regarded by Ala bamians residing in Washington thdT
 the gubernatorial campaign will be without that high interest which fol- lows political conflict.
 The idea prevails that Judge Will
 liam w Brandon of Tuscaloosa wlll
 be elected without material opposi-
 ton to the office of governor, and that Charles Mcdowell of Eufaul2 will be elected lieutenant governor without opposition. The best in- formed politicians in the Alabama colony hold to the idea that within another four years the people of the state will demand that MT. Miller re-
 enter politics, and ask for the office | of governor.
 Judge Brandon, presently in Wash ington, expresses great satisfaction in that MT Miller has retired from
 the field. The Tuscaloosa citizen will make his formal announcement
 the coming fall, and will canvass
 the state whether he has opposition or not.
 Underwood for Mcdowell Senator Underwood contributes to the political situation this week by declaring for MT Mcdowell for lieu tenant governor.
 N"I will support Charles McDowell of Eufaula" he said He is an ex cellent man, and will reflect credit on the state He has had the neces- sary experience in state affairs, and
 would serve splenddly as governor iii the event any misfgortune overlook the chief executive.
 Tt is time that the office of lieu tenant governor be held by citi- zen of southeast Alabama. For some years that office has been oc- cupied by men from the northern sea- ton of the state I am glad that there is no other candidate in the field MT. Mcdowell deserves the honor, in my opinion, of being elect ed without the necessity of fight, There has always been warm | friendship between the senior sena- tor and Mr Mcdowell. For that req son, the senator's statement caused | little surprise among Alabamians in | Washington
 Oliver on Brandon Judge Brandon has talked politics to all the members of Congress from Alabama, and practically all of them are earnest in his support Espe- cially is this true since the retire. ment of MT. Miller.
 Representative Oliver of Tusea- loosa, lifelong personal and political friend of Judge Brandon, is delight- ed with the situation, and declares that Plain Bill' should be permitted to realize his ambition without the
 necessity of making fight. The
 people know him" said MT. Oliver,
 '.and are ready, in my opinion, to
 mt him over "
 Judge Brandon hasn't prepared his
 platform. But he declares that the.
 tax burden on the people must in some manner be alleviated. It Is
 judged. as a result. that he will take positive position against additional tax burdens. and in favor of reducing those which presently exist.

senators will continue to attack the board and the farmers will continue to applaud. x But whether conditions will be improved thereby, remains to be seen.
 In the meanwhile, the federal re- serve board will make no defe se against the oratorial effort of sena- tors. Governor Harding expects, in the long run, that the policy of the board will be so completely vindi- cated that the senators now so ram pant will. indirectly. at any rate, admit that the system is pretty fair institution, after all.

Discard Platinum Jewelry And
 Aid Science, Women Are Told

Are Phoenix women interested in scientific or industrial advance or de- velopment?"
 This is the question which D. c. Mote asks the women of the city to- day. Before rushing to assure the state entomologist of sincere interest, however, they should stop, look and listen, for
 II the answer is yes, Mr. Mote will urge the women ato abstain from the use of platinum as jewelry
 He will ask them to beNcontent with the good old fashioned gold wedding band such as their mothers used to wear, for if they are ultra fashionable mothers they have since had the gold clrcIet changed to a clever chased plat mum band or platinum circlet en- cased in diamonds. He will ask them to dispense with the platinum wrist watch; ln fact, every article of jewelry for the good of the cause.
 The 1000 per cent increase in the cost of platinum is making it pro- hibitive for educational and scientific work, says Mir. Mote, who is following the Ohio example in urging the women of Arizona to condemn the use of plat mum in jewelry.
 The Ohio Academy of Science. of which MT. Mote is a member, adopted resolutions concerning the use and abuse of platinum with which MT. Mote 1 is heartily in accord. The resolution 1 follows:
 1 Whereas. the price of platinum has risen in the past 20 years from 50 cents or less per gram to as high as $5.3o in l the present year, or in the neighbor- hood of 1000 per cent increase in cost making it prohibitive for educationa, or scientific work: and Whereas. cheap platinum as it was 70 years ago would greatly ease and encourage research work in physics and chemistry and would doubtless
 greatly cheapen sulphuric acid, re- quired in making. phosphate fertilizers and perhaps quickly give us the key to the utilization of atmospheric nitro gen for use in agriculture as a plan food; and
 Whereas, the worlds stock of plati- mum is small and the prospects fol large additions to this stock are fal from bright since the Russian deposit. are understood to be approaching ex. haustion, and we have none as goot in sight; and
 Whereas, the chemical and electrica
 industries have absolute need for plati
 mum, though they are continual, seeking cheaper and as satisfactor.
 substitutes: therefore.
 Be it resolved. that the Ohio Acad
 emy of Science commends the effor
