SOVIET SHOPS
TO BE RUN BY
AMERICANS
PARTIES BIcKER ON TARIFF.
Democrats Accuse Republicans of I'm
due Haste.

Washington, ID. C., May l0.Sharf
clashes between Republican and Demo
cratic leaders marked Senate consid
Grafton yesterday Of the tariff bill.
Referring to the night session de
cided upon by the majority and start
ing last night Senator Simmons Of
North Carolina, Democratic leader
charged that the Republicans were
driving with whip and spur and in
decent haste" to pass the measure
Senator McCumbcr, Republican, North
Dakota, in charge Of the bill countered
with declaration that the Democrats
were undertaking to kill the legislation
by means of filibuster and declared
that the Republicans proposed to de-
feat that purpose.
The charge of delay was renewed
later by Senator Smoot of Utah, rank
ing Republican on the Senate finance
committee, who after an exchange with
Senator Jones of New Mexico. Dem
oeratic member of that committee, de-
clared he was not going to be a party
to s.time killing" by undertaking to
explain how the committee arrived at
every rate in detail when no explana
tion would be satisfactory to the SEN
ator.
Senator Jones declared the people OF
the country were entitled to know just
how the committee reached its deci-
sions on the proposed duties. He
charged that the COMMITTED had acted
without definite information and said
the whole bill was nothing but a mop
per full of different ideas and different
guesses.
Declaring that the measure was de-
signed mot for protection but for ex-
ploitation," Senator Simmons told the
Senate time would be necessary Tor
discussion. He added, however, that
the minority wanted to see it passed
before the election, as they were salts
fed the country would condemn it and
those responsible for it,
Specifically, the chemical schedule
came up again yesterday. During dis
cussion of it, Senator Hitchcock, Dem
oerat, Nebraska, declared that it WAS
directed against Germany for the ptr-
pose of destroying import trade with
that country. Remarking that the
Senate finance committee was trying
to frighten the people Of the county
with the ghost of Germany" Senator
Jones said that country had recovered
only 80 per cent of its pre-war trade.
.The time has come when this ghost
should be put back in the closet" he
said.
Finally the Senate voted down two
different amendments to the gallic acid
item offered by Senator King, Demo
crat, Utah, and then approved the
Senate rate of eight cents pound.
The committee rate of one and one

CARTHAGE RUINS Dis
CLOSE infant SACRIFICE
Of AAClEATS
(By Associated Press)

London, Oct. 16.- Scientists
searching in the ruins Of Car
thage, in Northern Africa, have
torn the wells from the insoluble
mysteries which 1000 years ago
attended the worship Of the God
dess Astarte. Astarte was asso-
ciated with Baal as the chief
deity Of the ancient Phoenicians,
Of which race the Cartha ginians
were one Of the most important
branches.
The scientists have discovered
sacrificial vaults in the inner
sanctuary Of the Temple Of AS
tarte, each of which contains the
charred bones Of thousands Of in-
fants ranging from newborn
babes to babes Of one or two
years old. The piles Of bones are
fifteen feet deep. They believe
they have found one Of the tens-
pies where the secret rites Of hu
man sacrifice to Astarte were
practised from the seventh cen
| turv before the Christian era un-
| til the days when the Romans
conquered and destroyed Car
! thage and forbade further sacrl
fices.
! Astarte is always represented
as a tall stern-faced woman
standing upright and clutching II
| the left arm an infant child. II
! the old rite Phoenicians Offered
newborn children to Astarte
and the bones Of older children
which the scientists have nov
found are probably accounted
for by the fact that families at
/ flicted by illness or misfortune
sought to appease her anger D:
sacrificing all their children.

SCHOOL CONDITIONS IN
RUSSIA SHOWS LITTLE
IMPROVEMENT
(By Associated Press)

Moscow, Oct. 16.-Russian chill
dren have started a new school
year with little prospect Of bet
ter conditions than they endured
during the revolution.
In the Siberian district the IN
debtedness Of the government to
the teachers for salaries has
reached the sum Of over 85,00O,-
000,0O0 rubles, says a recent re-
port to the district Soviet. This
is mere fraction Of the total
amount due to instructors in sal
aries. In some districts teachers
have not been paid for many
months, and the officials have
even ceased to keep account Of
the arrears.
The lot Of Russian school teach
ers has been a hard one. In the
villages they have been somewhat
better cared for than in the cities
because the peasants have taxed
themselves to contribute to the
necessary expenses; have them
selves cut wood for the school
fuel, and have repaired many.
school houses. In the cities the
schools have been left to govern
mental care. AS result Of these
conditions many teachers are
turning to other means Of earn
ing a living.
The plan Of the Communists
for a free and unified school svs
tenn is having hard Shedding. De
cree has been passed forbiddine
the collection Of fees from par
ents for their childrens educa-
ton, but local school authorities
from time to time make "assess
ments" upon parents for the var
ious expenses involved in maia
! tanning the schools.
