60 MILLIONS IS
SMALL MATTER
IN ship SUBSIDY
Experts Disagree on Sum
American People Are
to Be Taxed.

WASHINGTON. July 13.-What's
a little matter of 6OOOO,O 900 a year
among friends anyhow?
One outstanding fact in the ship
subsidy proposition here is that al
legged experts in the shipping board
and alleged subsidy experts in Con-
gress differ around S60,O0O,000 a year
in their estimates as to what the
passage Of the ship subsidy bill will
cost the American people.
Here are a few conflicting official
statements:
Chairman Lasker of the shipping
board: The Treasury cost in direct
and indirect aids, the first year, if
the bill passes, cannot possibly be
more than SIS 100000"
Congressman Davis of Tennessee,
member OF the House Merchant Ma
rine Committee, and vigorous oppon-
ent of the bill: During our hearings
on the bill, Chairman Lasker con-
ceded that it included direct charges
on the public treasury of S52,12U.000,
not taking into consideration the ex-
emptions from Federal taxes allowed
ship owners and other indirect aids,
the amount of which Chairman Las
ker declined to estimate. The pend
ing bill would cost the American peo-
pie SIS. 1000, 600 year"

FRANCE MAY JOIN
WORLD DRY AREA
BY BOOZE LIMIT
Some Humor May Be Taken
Out of Pussyfoot johnson
Via Legislation.
By HUDSON HAWLEF
United Netos staff Correspondent.


PARIS, July 13-Tlthough moSr
Frenchmen consider "Pussyfoot"
Johnson's threats of worldwide dry
ness as funnier than Charlie Chaplin,
particularly as concerns their own
country, the recent action Of the
French Chamber of Deputies in for
bidding the sale of absinthe deriva-
tives or substitutes may be taken as
quite a husky straw to show how the
wind is blowing.
For the anti-alcohol forces in France
are insurging today more than they
ever were before. Even in his IA
NOUS pro-wine speech at Montpelier,
in the heart of the vineyard country,
President Millerand took pains to
point out that he had fought the
scourge Of alcoholism all his life, and
made a very clear distinction between
light wines and the hard stuff And
at the closing banquet Of the national
wine week in Paris, when twenty
choice vintages were offered to the
diners, Premier Poincare, who made
a magnificent bacchic address, was
discovered to be in a fragrant state
of treason-drink water!
Absinthe Is Gone
Absinthe went By the boards almost
simultaneously with the 1914 mobiliza-
ton by Government decree.
The bill, which has yet to be voted
on by the Senate, provides that the
Government, by decree, shall des1g-
nate which are the substitute liquors
to be forbidden. To this the Govern
nnent added an assurance that the
nronrietors of distilleries should be
compensated for their losses.

QUESTION OF
BUSINESS IN
CHURCH LIGHT
Great Britain Asked to Say
What Community Needs
Most.
BIZ MILTON BRONNER,
NEA Staff Correspondent.

LONDON, July 13.-Is modern BUSH
ness Christian?
Do people nowadays confine their
religion to an hour or so on Sunday
and forget IT the rest of the week?
These are questions :. all Christian
churches of Great Britain-Catholic
and Protestant-will try to answer in
a remarkable conference may be held
in the United States.
Questionnaires are being sent out
and elaborate plans are being made
by committees. The Rt. Rev. Ed
mund A Knox, Bishop of Manchester,
is president of the British confer
ence. The honorary secretaries are
a Quaker woman and an Anglican
clergyman, and council members in
clude Church of England clergymen,
representatives of all evangelical
churches and prominent Catholic
priests.
Property and industry" is the
QUESTIONABLE subject expected to
command most serious attention.
THE purpose of industry" says
the council, lis to supply the needs
of the community. In present prac-
tice the choice of the consumer,
backed by ability to purchase, is ac-
cepted as the arbiter of what these
needs are, and causes the appropriate
goods and service to be put on the
market. This choice is considerably
influenced by the producers who push
their own goods"
Finally, the program IS set forth
which its supporters believe practi-
cable and capable of Christianizing in
dustry, and the council asks whether
those who answer the QUESTIONABLE
consider the program Christian in
character and the first step toward a
really Christian society.

Amundsen expects to get invaluable
scientific data on the fight, and will

In addition. data collected will aid
greatly in directing the Maud's crew

Amundsen, upon completing the

diately after birth and a drop of silver
nitrate put in, the danger of eye in
lection and blindness is eliminated.
The majority OF the 100000 people
in this country blind from other
causes, would now have good sight
if they had taken ordinary common
sense precautions. Serious defects in
vision, for instance, may start from
apparently simple infammations of
the eyelids or the watery membranes
Of the eyes.
Inflammation is generally a first
symptom of eye trouble and should
have the immediate attention of a
competent oculist.
Among the common forms of eye
defects that usually can be remedied
by glasses are far-sightedness, near
sightedness and astigmatism.

Q.-what is the range of an eight
power and a ten-power binocular?
A.-This is difficult to answer as the
distance one could see with such
glasses depends partly on ones loca-
ton. the lay of the land. the condition
OF the atmosphere. etc. The field Of
vision is about 80 degrees in both
classes. An eight-power glass means
that the object as observed through
the glass will appear TO be eight times
nearer than as viewed with the naked
eye. and the power glass will make
it appear ten times nearer.

SPORTS FOR FRENCH GIRLS
Question Is Agitating Leaders OF
Women's Activities.
By United Press


BIZ United Press
PARIS, July 13.-Should women in
France take up sports, and if so, to
what extent? That is the question
which French women are now debat-
ing in the press.
1t is a question that would have
shocked the last generation and
which this generation considers only
with reserve.
Some women have expressed the
opinion that sports spoil the figure
and that it destroys a woman's grace
and strips her Of her feminine
charms"
One woman asks: what sports can
a woman take up if she has servant
trouble and the education of her chill
dren to look after, besides flirting and
gossiping?"

To the Editor Of The Times
Now that the Government has taken
a definite stand on the coal question
Il remains for the operators and min
ers TO get together. In one way 1t
seems foolish for the labor organiza-
tons to create working restrictions
and deliberately turn them down and
give way.
On the other hand it is the general
understanding that a coal crisis is
imminent and that n tie-up in trans
portation facilities will result soon.
Why can't the miners take a chance,
go back to work at the old wage
scales, and trust to luck that an agree
ment, between themselves and opera
tors, is completed before the speci-
fed time has expired? The Govern
ment has made the specifications,
