TREATY TO
SENATE SEPT. q
Proclamation After Pact Has
Been Ratified
SPEEDY ACTION EXPECTED
stag Will Consider The Matter At
Same Time-Restoration OF
Commercial Relations.

Washington.-The treaty of peace
with Germany will be sent to the Sen
ate September q, the day that Con-
gress reassembles after its 30-day re-
cess, it was announced at the White
House.
Prompt ratification of the pact is
understood to be hoped for by Presi-
dent Harding. While the Senate leg.
slative program as outlined at the
time last weeks recess was taken
called for enactment of revenue or
tariff legislation Immediately upon re-
assembling and then for action on the
railroad debt funding BILL several Sen
ate leaders expressed the belief that
an early place could be found on the
program for the treaty.
Proclamation of state of peace, it
was said officially, will be deferred I'm
til after the German treaty is ratified
1t was furthermore made known that
various agencies of the Government
were studying steps considered neces-
sary to bring about the full restoration
of commercial relations between the
two countries after ratification of. the
treaty.
Members of the Foreign Relations
Committee. to which the treaty will be
referred upon its submission, were
made acquainted with it's details by
Secretary Hughes, and this fact, to-
gether with the opportunity afforded
for study during the recess, is counted
upon in Administration quarters to
work for speedy action.
Statements have been made by Ad-
ministration officials that it was de-
sired that the Senate and German
Reichstag consider the treaty stimuli
taneously. The German legislative
body is scheduled to meet September
27, five days after the Senate resumes
it's session and about the time the
Senate leaders expect the treaty to be
reported by the Foreign Relations
Committee.

SOLDIER BONUS
HELD INVALID
N. Y, Court of Appeals Holds,
Award Is Unconstitutional
MAY GO TO VOTE OF PEOPLE
Decision Means That Reward For
Fighters Will Be Delayed
Till 1e23--No State
Obligation.
MAY GO TO VOTE OF PEOPLE

Albany, N. Y.-The State Court OF
Appeals, by vote of 5 to 2, held the
State soldier bonus act invalid on the
ground that it violated Article VII,
Section l, of the State Constitution,
which prohibits lending the credit of
the State for the benefit of any indi-
yidual, association or corporation.
Judge William S. Andrews wrote the
prevailing opinion, which was con-
CURED in by Chief Judge Frank H. His
cock and Associate Judges John W.
Hogan, Chester B. Mclaughlin and
Frederick E. Crane. Dissenting opin-
ions we're filed by Judges Benjamin N.
Cardoso and Cuthbett w. Pound
The bonus act, according to the ma
jority of the court, is clearly gift
Of the credit Of the State unless it is
payment of some obligation which
the State owes. The court continues
that the bonus is not the payment of
an obligation to the former service
men from the State.
The claim, the court holds, is a
claim essentially against the Federal
Government, claim which the Gov
eminent recognizes and in payment of
which it proposes to appropriate an
amount estimated at between $4,000
00O, 900 and $5,0O0,OO0, OOO
Attorney General Charles D. New
ton, who defended the constitutional
ity of the statute, expressed the belief
that the legislatures of 1922 and 1923
would take action to amend the Con-
stitution so that the electorate might
ratify at referendum in the fall of
1928 the proposed amendment that
would overcome the barrier to the
validity of the Bonus Law.
Comptroller James A. Wendell ex-
pressed regret that "a law approved
by a majority of over 100000 votes Of
the people and enacted for such a
really meritorious purpose should have
to be declared unconstitutional"
1t was said at the Capitol that plans
were under consideration to raise by
direct taxation that $45,000,00O esti-
mated to be necessary for bonus pur-
poses.

NAVY ESTIMATES GROWING,
DENLY Will Ask For Appropriation Ex
ceedina $soo,ooo,ooo

Washington. = Despite the forth
coming disarmament conference, the
navy will ask for appropriations for
the year 1929 in excess of the ap-
proximate appropriation of 100000
600 for the current year.
The naval estimates for 1929 will
be submitted to Budget Director Dawes
tomorrow and will show that the navy
has no disposition to weaken its war
power on the strength of a possible
international agreement for disarma-
ment.
There will be no decrease in the ap-
preparations asked for ships or guns,
it was learned, and an INCREASED ap,
preparation will be asked for aeroplane
carriers.
Naval officials take the position that
the naval establishment must be kept
in efficient fighting trim and that re,
duction of expenditures cannot be per.
mitted to interfere with the efficiency
of the sea defenses of the nation.
Secretary DENLY has made an effort
to reduce expenditures in some of the
less vital branches of the navy.

national debt will soon be paid. In
word, all promises are being carried
out"

MOIST COLD AIR
ASSISTS ENGINE
Hot Dry Air Causes Frequent
Skipping and Loss of Power
During Season.
HUMIDlFIER is EASILY MADE
Mason Preserving Jar of Quart Size
Placed on Back of Dash Under
meath Hood Will Supply
Moisture Needed.

Almost every man who owns or has
run an automobile has noticed that his
engine actually runs better in the very
early morning or late at night, just
after the dew has fallen. This is due
to the amount of moisture in the air.
Why contend with the frequent
skipping of the engine and the loss of
power due to the hot dry air of sum-
mer Cay, when with few hours time
and little expense you can manufac-
ture an apparatus which will give You
the moist cold air that gives life to
your engine?
Preserving Jar Is Useful.
A mason preserving jar of the quart
size should be mounted on the back
of the dash underneath the hood of the
engine. This may be done by the use
of an Oil-can holder for shelf and
couple of band iron straps to hold the
glass jar in place. In the metal top,
about one inch apart, drill two holes,
one with a quarter-inch drill and one
with three eighthS-inch drill.
