IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE

IN OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON, D. {.

welter is at a safe distance and had
better be kept there.
Redeeming a Promise.
President Harding promised that
one of his first duties would be to
redeem the failure of the preceding
administration to provide adequately
for disabled service men. To that end
he has appointed a special committee
to study the general question of SOL
der relief. The personnel of the
committee gives assurance that it's
work will be performed with the ut
most efficiency, and that it's recon-
mendations may be followed with the
certainty of attaining the desired re-
suits. Gen Charles G. Dawes of Chi
cago is the chairman. His ability as
chief of the supply division of the
American Expeditionary Force to get
results in spite of exasperating diff
ficulties is well known. Associated
with him are Col. Galbraith, COM
mander of the American Legion, form
er commander D'Olier, Col. Roosevelt,
and other former service men and
those who have worked for their well
fare. The committee will examine
into the War Risk Insurance Bureau
and the Vocational Education Bureau
with a view to coordinating them with
the other activities of the Government
for soldier relief.
Our Skirts Clear.
Last year the British trade with
Russia amounted to more than $780,
100000. Now there is a Grading
agreement" between the two coun-
tries, but the president of the board
of trade admitted in parliment that it
would not increase trade to any ex-
tent. The real, and practically the
only, effect of the agreement is to
recognize the soviet government. 1t
adds nothing to British dignity to
enter into formal relations with the
noorious soviets. The United States,
on the other hand, is just as free to
trade with Russia as Great Britain
has been, but American skirts are
clear of any hint of recognition of the
bloody regime in that country.

Chicago, April 14-Work for the ex-

creased rather than decreased since
their discharge is one Of the big tasks

trail division, according to the an
nounement of Mrs. Geo. Berry, Red

work for chapters in the division
which was re-organized this week to
include the states of Minnesota,N orth
and South Dakota, Wyoming, Mon

Iowa and Wisconsin, Mr.. Davidson,
Division manager, places great m
phasis on this phase of Red Cross
work.
"Our reports show that during the
past year there has been a marked
increase in the number of cases of
war veterans needing the services of
the Red Cross" he states. "Question-
aires sent out to wal veterans show
that not only are thousands in need

During the winter months Whit
man, who lives on his ranch several
miles from this city, has been in the
habit of tapping ON his bee hives as he

NEW WATER RATES ARE
NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD

Members Of the city water commits
sion say that reports received show
there is considerable misunderstanding
regarding the increase in rates madr
this spring. Some property owners
have believed general so per cent
increase was made in rates. On tho
contrary the only charge made was an
increase OF SO cents month in the
minimum rate and reduction Of the
consumption standard from 5000 gall
Ions to $500 gallons.
Under the new schedule the con-
sumner Is merely charged so cents a
month more than formerly. If it is
big home however and uses 5000 gals
Ions instead of the s500 the extra
charge will be 81 cents more.
NO matter how much water a man
may be using no one can possibly pay
more than 81 cents a month above the
rate in vogue in the past said mem
ber of the board today. There are
people who do not understand this and
under Il false impression have been
considering letting their lawns or
parking go without watering this sum.

The advance in rates is explained
