Next October.
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, June 15.-Tariff legis-
ktion will keep congress busy until
October forcing the new tax bill to
go over until the next session.
This was the answer given today
by congressional leaders to presi-
dent Harding's clearly expressed
wish that the house and senate con-
centrate on tax and tariff laws,
finish the proposed legislations ON
these subjects and then go to their
homes.
Senator Boise Penrose. republican
leader in discussing the question
said that he feared that the injection
of politics into the tax and tariff
debates would seriously delay the
final enactment of the two proposed
measures.

PREPARING TURF FOR FUEL
New Method, Said 10 Have Originated
In Russia, May Result In Rsliev-
ing Shortage.

A new method Of drying turf to re-
lieve the serious fuel shortage in Fin
land has been put ip operation in vari-
GUS Scandinavian, countries. The new
method was invented by engineers
working under orders from the Rus
sian soviet government, to find a more
l~abor-saving method Of preparing turf
as fuel for the great central power sta
ton hear Moscow, the process being
made known in Finland through an es-
Gaping engineer. The fundamental
principle of the process is quite sim.
pie. The raw turf in the swamp, by a
powerful jet Of water under a pressure
Of 20 atmospheres, is freed from all
old roots and changed to thin mud,
This is pumped opt on a drying field
and spread in layers. When sufficient
" dry it is cut into bricks Of uniform
size by means Of a tractor. The turf
pump is constructed like an. ordinary
water turbine, is reversible with aid Of
electric motor, is equipped with a cut
ting apparatus which completes the
work of the water jet. and can be
raised or lowered as the surface Of the
mud varies. The entire equipment Is
mounted on a a which cansbe pushed

STILL HOLD TO OLD THEORY
Explanation of the Magnetism
of Earth's Surface.

1t was shown by Gilbert in the year
1900 that the facts then known about
the magnetic condition of the eaith's
surface could be explained by assum-
ing that the earth was a uniformly
magnetized sphere, the magnetic poles
Of which approximated to the geo
graphical poles. With small mOdifica-
tons this theory has been accepted
universally, but the Of the mag
netism Is still completely obscure. Il
is well known that the compass needle
points approximately north and south
over the whole of the globe, except in
the Arctic and the Antarctic regIUns.
The variation from the true north
namely, the angle between the direc-
tion Of the compass at a certain place
and the line of longitude through that
PLACES called the "declination" for
that place. Also In northern ATTITUDES
the north-seeking end of the needle
points or dips downward, while in the
southern hemisphere the reverse Is the
case.
For navigation purposes the amount
Of the declination at various parts Of
the surface Of the earth stsssseet out in
charts. (which, however. have TO be
corrected from time to time.
