Flexible Tariff
Plan Attacked
in Senate Debate

| Washington, May S.-An attack on
the flexible tariff plan proposed by the
senate finance committee on the rec
ommendation OF President Harding
was launched today in the senate and
| in the course of the four hours debate
Chairman McCumber in charge of the
tariff bill, announced that some of the
objections raised to the plan would be
considered by the committee before
| final senate action on it.
Senator Walsh, Democrat. Montana,
opened the discussion with the deliv-
cry of a prepared address in which
| he cited many authorities and court
decisions to support his argument
that the provisions were unconstitu-
tional. Senators Underwood of Ala
bama, and Simmons of North Caro-
lima, the Democratic leaders, Joined
| him, arguing that for the first time in
the history of the country it was pro-
posed to protect the profits of Amer
lean manufacturers.
Chairman McCumber, and Senator
| Smoot Of Utah, ranking Republican on
the finance committee, defended the
1
American producer raised his price to
an exorbitant figure it was not con-
| templated that the president would
| increase the duties to protect him.
Senator Smoot expressed doubt that
| the president would have to act in
more than one case otu of a thousand
and added that the rule laid down I'M
der which he could act was so plain
| that there was no doubt about it's con-
stitutionality.
Senator Walsh told the senate that
the constitution specifically reserved
to congress the power to lay and COL
lect taxes and import duties and that
congress could not delegate this au-
| thority- He also attacked the flexible
plan on the ground that no provision
was made for judicial review of the
presidents action in changing rates
or classifications and contended that
president was to act to "equalize ocn-
ditions of competition in trade" was
so indefinite that the president could
take into consideration many elements
aside from production costs.
Senator Underwood told the senate
that not only was he convinced the
flexible tariff plan was unconstitution-
al, but that it was wrong in principle
and would lead to the Oppression of
the American people" and in the end
TO the ruin Of the business and pros
perity Of the country. The Alabama
senator argued that if congress could
delegate to the president authority to
levy taxes at the custom houses to
the extent of SO per cent on the value
of imports. it could delegate power to
levy it on home Consumption.
Declaring that he knew of no way
to equalize conditions of competition
in trade except through equalizing
prices, Senator Underwood declared
that the result of such a plan would
be to make the consumers of the
country pay the price of industrial
monopoly"

Formal Pledges
Necessary Before
0. K. Obregon Govt.

Washington, May S-The Ameri-
can government is standing unaI-
terably for the guarantees requested
of the Obregon regime in Mexico
nearly year ago, and SO far General
Obregon and his advisers have given
no definite assurances that the guar
antees will be given in order to make
formal recognition of their govern
ment possible. Many intimations
that the Mexican authorities might
be favorable disposed toward the
American request have reached the
state department but officials here
will not be satisfied with anything
less than formal pledge by the OBJ
RECON government itself. 1t was said
at the state department today that
consequently the situation remained
just where it was when the terms of
recognition were submitted to Mexico
City in June 1921.

Three Colleges May
Protest H. Cohen of
Maine on Pro Charge

The Portland Express said Monday
afternoon:
1t is learned from authoritative
source that Harry Cohen, University
of Names football player and track
man, will be protested at the meeting
Of the Maine intercollegiate Athletic
Association in Waterville Friday night
prior to the State track meet on the
grounds of being a professional. 1t is
said that two of the Maine college
coaches have evidence to prove that
Cohen played professional football
with the professional teams around
Providence, Taunton and Quincy under
an assumed name. According to the
evidence in the hands of the coaches,
Cohen, who played fullback on the
Maine eleven, used to make hasty
trips from Orono on Saturday nights
to play Sunday for money on the pro-
fessional teams around Massachusetts.
The Maine football player is entered
in the shotput from the University of
Maine for the State meet at Waterville
next Saturday. He won the shotput in
the Maine-Holy Cross dual meet at
Orono last Saturday and is considered
big contender for first honors this
week.
Under the rules Of the Maine Inter
collegiate Athletic Association an ath-
lete is considered professional who
plays on a professional football team
for money. and is therefore ineligible
to compete as an amateur in the State
track meet. Unless the University If
Maine voluntarily withdraws his name
from the entries. the protest will go
before the association at it's meeting
Friday evening in the Elmwood Hotel"

Thermometers for COOKING

Every housewife is aware that the
actual cooking of dish is a very i'm
portant factor of success or failure.
A "hot oven" and moderate oven
are often referred to, and testing by
holding the hand inside for a few
seconds Is a method frequently en-
ployed.
But there is no real dependency on
such haphazard methods, since. one
person can bear much more heat than
another. Therefore, in an efficient
household kitchen thermometer to
register cooking heats should be con-
sidered as necessary as a clinical
thermometer. There are two varieties
of kitchen thermometers to be had
The cheaper kind Is of white china,
and can only be used for oven cook
ing. A more durable make, of brass,
which costSa little more, can be used
for testing frying fats, etc., and will
not break so easily. An iron leg sup
ports the thermometer. so that il
stands upright and can be read at a
glance when in the oven. Every de-
gree OF heat from low to high tenn
perature is registered, and at the side
the standard temperatures for cook
Ing are Observation-Disclosures Guard

Norwich, Hope of

Is Safe in Kentucky

Louisville, KY. May e.-Morvich,
probably the most discussed horse in
the country and apparently the favor
lite for the Kentucky Derby. passed the
most of his first day at Churchill
Downs being viewed by throng Of
Kentuckians. Comment on Benjamin
Blocks unbeaten Runnymede-Hymi
colt ranged from extravagant praise
because of his conformation, to crit
icism for his lack of size. But season.
co turf men explained that mere hize
has little to do with it. Can he stay a
mile and quarter, the derby distance,
was the only question asked.
Norwich win be -cen in racing form
tomorrow when Fred Burlew, hi;
trainer, intends to work him a fast
six fsrlongs. Today he was logged
around the derby track by an exercise
boy.
Today he appeared entirely unaf-
fected by his journey from New York
which was made in 90 hours in a pri-
vate cad attached to fast passenger
train. Turfmel who are accustom-
ed to handling sensitive thorough
breds, comment on his remarkable
disposition. Flashlight photographs
taken of him upon his arrival last
night, Norwich seemed to take as a
matter Of course. while his stable
mate. a pony, almost unseated his
rider.
One development of the day was the
statement by Morvich's trainer that
he would start in no handicaps this
year but would confine his efforts to
the three year old fixturse for which
he is eligible.
Meanwhile current opinion leans to
the theory that the derby will be a

Form New Amateur
| Association with
Own Constitution

Washington, May S.-The national
amateur athletic federation was or
ganized here today by representa-
tives of many leading athletic organi-
cations from all sections of the coun-
try for the purpose Of promoting
more wholesome sports in America.
The action was taken at the sug-
gcstiOn first made by Secretary of
War Weeks before the American
Olympic Association last November,
although opposition was offered to-
day by several delegates to adopting
the proposed constitution because it
apparently usurped some Of the au-
thority of their organizations.
The constitution was adopted,
however, after it lad been explained
that no one identified with the effort
to create the organization had in
mind any idea of usurping the func-
tons Of any existing athletic body
and the draft Of the constitution was
amended to make this specifically
clear.
Henry g. Breckenridge. former
assistant secretary of war. was elect
cd president. President Harding was
elected honorary president and Sec
retaries Weeks and DENLY and Col
Robert M. Thompson. honorary vice
presidents. Directors chosen includ-
ed J. f. Byers, U. S. Golf Association;
J. s. Myrick. National Lawn Tennis
Association; Col. Palmer r. Pierce,
~; C~y
ton: William c. Prout. the Amateur
Athletic Union and Mrs Herbert

Chicago Produce Market
Chicago, MAY

SHlCdSO, May ..
Although wheat prices broke sharp
~ at one time today the market av-
eraged higher owing to current opin-
ion that rally was due after recent
declines. The close was unsettled at
the same as Saturdays finish to rs
cent advance with May 1876 ga to 1877
and July 124 to 124 IA. Corn finished
3-SQ3 to "a cent up, oats unchanged
to Is cent lower. and provisions va
rying from 10 cents decline to rise of
n shade.
Most of the buying of wheat ap-
peared to be covering on the part of
the shorts. and based to some extent
on n decrease of nearly 100000 bush
els in the supply on ocean passage. Be-
sides II was generally anticipated that
the domestic supply total would show
n falling off. The fact that shipments
from here Saturday were larger than
the receipts tended likewise to encour-
age n little bullish sentiment.
Assertions that three million bushels
OF wheat would leave Kansas City for
Chicago this week had much to do with
sudden but transient downward
swing in the wheat market during the
middle of the session. Furthermore,
some sales of wheat to go into stor-
age here We're announced. Later. how
ever. IL developed that today's receipts
here had been overestima ted, and in
were actually FAC. Exports sales of
100, 900 bushels at the seaboard and
vessel charters here for 10000 BUSH
eS to Buffalo helped further to send
the market upward again in the late
dea lings. Deliveries . here on May
contracts were 10000 bushels Of
wheat
Forecasts Of rain together with Wis
ible supply decreases and talk of ex-
port business gave firmnesS to corn
and oats.
Commission house selling weakened
the provision market after an upturn
in line with hog values.

Pacific Coast Ship
Owners Kick Over
Parts of Subsidy Bill

Washington, May S.-NigorouS
protest against the provision in the
administration merchant marine bill
that no subsidy shall be paid for the
operation of vessels Of 1900 gross
tons or less, was received today from
the Ship Owners Association of the
Pacific Coast by the Senate and
House committees which are holding
joint hearings on the measure.
In a telegram to Chairman Jones'
Of the Cenate Commerce committee
the Association recommended that
government aid be paid on all ships
OF 500 gross tons or more. The
general tenor" of the subsidy bill
| was heartily endorsed by the AS
| ISOLATION which declared it was con-
WINGED that the legislation would be
''for the great good, if not the foun-
dation Of our merchant marine"
Directing most strenuously" to
the minimum tonnage reforms fixed
in the bill, the Association said its
| members owned and operated ap-
trans Pacific lumber srade Of less
| than 1900 gross tons, which would
be driven Immediately out of the
| trade" if not given the government
aid competing ships received.
During cross examination of w. J.
Love, vice president of the Emer-
7, gency Fleet Corporation. in charge
OF traffic, Representatives Davis
| Tennessee, and Hardy, Texas, both
Democrats, insisted that the shipping
board should furnish detailed state
ments as to cost of operating the
boards vessels UacAr agreements
with various steamship companies.
| Mr.. Love said Chairman Lasker OBJ
| jected to making such a report a
/ part of the public record on the
ground that it would furnish COM
J peting lines with valuable, confiden-
J tial information. He offered, how
ever, to submit the statements to the
J committees in executive session.
! Both Mr.. Davis and Mr. Hardy de-
| clared the House was entitled tc
know where the leak was and what
companies were operating at loss.
During his testimony, Mr.. Love
stressed the importance,of closer CO.
ordination between American rail.
roads and steamship companies.
Railways would readily use Ameri-
can ships to move goods to foreign
ports if assured as good service as
foreign steamship companies afford
them. Mr.. Love said, adding that II
, was beHeved the pending bill would
do much To bring closer coordina fior
between land and ocean carriers with
a result that much business would
be diverted to American bottoms.

Punctuality is said to be the virtue

Punctuality is said to be the virtue
of kings, but not of women. The lat
ter will not, however, admit their
lack of it. But when a lady has kept
mere man waiting for her an indefi-
nitely long time, her excuse, cynics
declare. is really at hand: "My watch
must be wrong" And, strange to
say, this reason given as an excuse,
different from other excuses. is al
most always valid. The watches Of
women are much less exact than
those Of men.

severe in the early spring that its eff
feet was felt sharply in the Russian
cities, and special allowance of 49,

Child-feeding stations like the one
above, reaching more than 100000
children, and 100000 daily corn ra-
tions for adults, made possible through
the American Congressional appropria-
ton of $20,000,000, struck such blow
at the worlds greatest famine that
