Washington, Dec. 2s. - Presi-
dent Harding asked the senate to-
day not to adopt Senator Borah'a
proposal for a new international
economic conference, saying in a
letter to Republican Leader Lodge
that formal congressional action
on the subject now would em-
barrass him In negotiatings he al
ready is conducting looking to
such a conference.
The presidents letter was sent
to Senator Lodge for presentation
during the senate's second day OF
debate on the Borah proposal
which is embodied in an amend
ment to the naval appropriation
bill.
Seeks to Block Action.
The president acted directly to
block senate action after he had
consulted with Secretary Hughes
and after Senator Lodge had yis-
tied the White House and had re-
ported on the progress made in the
determined fight already being
waged against the Borah amend
ment by administration leaders in
the senate.
The letter stated that while the
senate might properly advise" in
regard to international negotia-
tions, its action on the Borah plan
might give false impressions" to
European powers.

dent said, was trying" to be help

n Washington, Dec. %. - Cham
pioning the proposal Of Senator
Borah that the president call an
International disarmament and
economic conference, Senator Nc
Nary, republican, Oregon, gained
the floor this morning immediate
ly after President Hardings letter
had been read to the senate, and
declared that the proposal, if car
reid out would aid in the reha-
IA biliation of the American farmer.
Would Aid Farmers.
Senator McNary spoke in behalf
Of the Borah proposal which he
championed as one likely to aid
N the American farm by restoring
Europe and increasing European
purchases of American agricul-
ttural products.
\ An active member of the senate
farm bloc, Senator McNary declar-
ed his opposition to an American
policy of isolation" asa ough he
said he knew his views would
rouse what he termed the "inter-
national statesmen bloc of the SEN
ate"
Treaty Defeat Scored,
Il shall never know" said SEN
ator McNary, whether it was the
stubbornness of our distinguished
president, Woodrow Wilson, the
perversity of the able senator
from Massachusetts, Mr.. Lodge, or
the eloquence of the irreconcilables
that prevented the ratification
Of the Versailles treaty, yet l shall
always think as a military reserva-
tionist that much of the unrest
and hatred existing among the
nations at this time would not
have occurred IL this treaty con-
tanning the covenant of the league
Of nations, with the Lodge reserva-
tions, had been ratified"
Would Aid Europe.
Senator McNary said the Borah
amendment would not obligate
America to any aggressive or de-
fensive military action nor precip1-
tate the nation into any political
maelstrom.
1t would be step, he said, to
establishment of European
trade. He suggested that German
reparations should be reduced and
that increased trade with Europe
was needed more by the American
farmers than the pending farm
credits legislation.

CORSET OF TODAY.
No Indication Of the WaistIine
Becoming Smaller.
PREVALENT style In France Is Extreme
ly Low, Not Very Long and
Lightly Boned.

The evolution Of the corset is ex-
tremely Interesting, observes a writer
In the New York Tribune. Its Amerl-
can history dates back to the days Of
the Pilgrims, when the first article OF
this character was made In this coun-
try. These God-fearing people woye
the material by hand, leaving II In its
natural gray state. To bone the cor
SCI they used whalebone, which they
sewed In by hand-and this garment
was not lightly boned as IL is In these
days. The whaleboncs we're placed so
close to one another that one row OF
stitching supported bone at either
side OF Il.
Unlike the corset of today, this
primitive one covered the body from
the waistline upward. leaving the hips
practically unprotected. Reaching
from ones chest to waist. It gradually
diminished In size toward the latter
point, where II aguin wldeneG slightly,
ending not more than two inches be-

During recent years-clothes having
taken to straight lines-many women
or both France and America have
worn either no corset at all or one
quite lightly boned. Gradually, how
ever, they are beginning to perceive
the need Of some support, however
slight 1t may be. Particularly is this
true Of the French woman, who was
the originator Of the corsetless mode,
according to an interview with the
head of one of our largest American
manufacturing concerns, who recently
returned from Paris.
The women of America are under
the impression that their French Sis
ters have entirely. dispensed with cor

LACE PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE
Decoration Equally Popular In Black

Lace Is playing very important
role In the development of spring and

Found Red DYE In Fruit.

A German medical journal reports
the injury of young girl at Frank
fort from the point Of hypodermic
needle which she swallowed while eat
ing a blood orange. Investigation de-
velOped the fact that the needle had
been filed with red anlline dye.
The girl, 1t seems, had purchased a
dozen of the oranges. These were
examined and 1t was found that all
contained an injection of the same
nature. 1t appears that frauds of

ported-the chemical transformation

Social Climbers In Germany.

Old decorations and titles are still
craved by social climbers in republican
Germany. This Is shown In case in
which an international lmposter and
his accompllce, who is lunatlc, were
tried for fraud, says the Montreal
Herald. The prisoner was charged with
having travelled over Germany repre-
senting himself TO be a papal count
and chamberlain of the Vatican and
selling papal baronetcies and orders
for thousands of marks each. The
titles are said TO have been snlemnly
bestowed by the demented accomplice,
who was formerly veterinary sur
geon, and whose manin is believing
himself TO be ruling prince. A
Munich art dealer paid 10000 marks
for a noneNistent Lateran order, while
Il Frankfort merchant underwent
solemn investure as a Maltese knight.
But when the new knight did not pay
the promised sum he was deprived OF
his title, which originated only in the
fertile Imagination Of the false papal
count.
