The theme is worthy Of en-

A father, sacrificing his all that

Steel That Will Not Rust

Noncorrosive steel was made for
use in stamp mills at least forty years
ago. Some of these parts are still in
use in the Rocky mountain mining dis
tricts. Originally chromium was used
solely, because it hardened and tough
ened the steel, so that its tensile
strength became tenfold. Steel stems
from stamp mills that had lain in the
weather over thirty years did not
show any signs of rust or corrosion.
Since chromium was first used COM
mercially various new hardening proc
esses with new alloys have been
brought out, such as molybdenum,
manganese, tungsten, vanadium and so
forth. All of these will greatly add to
the tensile strength of steel but none
has been found that will cause steel
to resist oxidation and even corrosion
from salt water and the like as sue
cessfully as chrome-nickel alloy pro-
vided the proper percentage of each
is used.

NOT ADMITTED BY ENEMIES
Fight to Modify Volstead Act Begun

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

IN THE preliminary bouts OF the
4 treaty fight in the senate the adj
minfstration has scored victories which
lead Senator Lodge and others to pre-
dict certain triumph in the main con-
test over the four-power Pacific pact,
as well as in the other bouts.
Expression of this confidence came
after the senate, on Wednesday, had
ratified the treaty with Japan concern
ing zap. This is not properly one of
the Washington conference series of
treaties, but its acceptance was con-
sidered necessary before action is
taken on the other Pacific treaties. 1t
puts an end to the dispute between
this country and Japan by recognizing
the japanese mandate over zap and
at the same time securing Americas
cable rights there.
The final vote on the zap pact was
e. to % and was preceded by the vot-
ing down of a number of reservations
which certain Democratic senators
thought necessary to make American
rights on the island entirely secure.
Thirteen Democrats voted for ratifica-
ton, and three Republicans-Borah
France and against it. Al
though the administration forces said
they were entirely satisfied with the
vote, the "irreconcilables" also pro-
fessed to be jubilant The latter as
serted they had made small effort to
defeat this treaty and that they were
confident they could muster enough
more votes to beat the Horsepower
pact.
On motion of Senator Lodge the
senate Immediately took up the four
power treaty, and the indications were
that the debate on that would last sew
eral weeks. AS it was reported to the
senate by the committee on foreign
relations it carries but the one in
nocuOus interpretative reservation that
was approved by President Harding
To Borah, Johnson, France and
few other senators might well be APP
piled a sentence from one of the late
Ambassador Pages letters during the
war: sin the United States we lie
down every night in George Washing
toms feather bed of no entangling al
liances." During the debate Borah de-
cleared he would support the zap
treaty if he could be sure that it would
get rid Of Americas one-ffth interest
in the inundated islands of the south
seas.
'T cannot imagine a more serious
ENHANCEMENT" said Senator Borah,
"than owning a one-fifth interest in
these islands. We are. becoming very
seriously involved and more so every
day"
Senator Reed of Missouri deplored
the refusal of the nations to recognize
the principle of self-determination in
dealing with the question of zap pro-
hibition. He declared that the zap
Ianders had never been consulted as
to whether they ''Iiked likker or not"
He drew a dismal picture of thirsty
Yaps groannig under the tyranny of
japanese Volstead." The treaty as rati-
fed applies the prohibition amendment
only to natives.

bring about the modification Of the
Volstead act so that the country will
once more have it's beer and light

motion. The executive council Of the
American Federation Of Labor has
taken up this cause and seeks to make
of it a political issue in the forthcom-

which concludes:
eve urge that all citizens in every
walk of life demand from their repre-
sentatives and senators in Washington
immediate relief from the unwarranted
restriction contained in the Volstead
act; and we likewise suggest to the
citizenship of our country the wisdom
and ACCESSIBILITY Of bearing in mind
the attitude toward this issue Of office
holders and aspirants to office in COM
ing elections in order that there may
be restored to the people the lawful
use of wholesome beer and light wines,
which, under the provisions Of the
eighteenth amendment can and should
be rightfulIy declared as nOn-intoxicat-
ing beverages"
The executive council asserts it
holds 'thaI the eighteenth amendment
under a reasonable and proper legis-
Iative Interpretation would be benefi-
cial to our country and would have the
support of the great majority of our
people," But the council says an ex-
haustive investigation which it has
conducted shows these effects of the
Volstead act:
81. A general disregard Of the law
among all classes, including those who
made the law.
80. Creation of thousands of moon
sinners.
"3. Creation of an army of bootleg
gers.
a. An amazing increase in the traf-
fic in poisons and deadly connections
and drugs.
%. An increased rate Of insanity,
blindness, and crime among the users
of these connections and drugs.
&c. Increase in unemployment, due
to losses of employment by workers in
forty-five industries directly or indi-
rectly connected with the manufacture
of liquors.

and national governments amounting
to approximately $1,00o,000,00o per
year"

plan which would not involve heavy
drain on the treasury during the next

ice pay Of the veteran ISL day for

40 per cent, plus interest thereon for

iusted service pay. If at the expira-
ton Of three years the sum thus OBJ
tanned, plus interest, had not been
paid by the service man, the bank
could make demand on the federal
treasury for the amount due. The gov
eminent thus would take over and
carry the loan.
Some members feared the borrow
ings under this plan might affect the
financial situation harmfully, so treas
ury experts were called in to advise
the committee on that and other
points If the scheme is feasible and
goes through the government would
not have to pay any cash for two or
three years except for administrative
purposes.
