AMENDMENT DEFEATED
Senate is Divided, Almost on Party Lines. Lengthy Debate is Ahead
 on Treaty

Washington, March 15.-The first of the proposed amendments to the pact having been rejected by divi sion almost on party lines, the four power Pacific treaty continued before the senate today with prospects of another lengthy session of debate.
 Leaders of both sides in the treaty fight conceded to say that as test of senate sentiment on the question of ratification itself little significance could be attached to the thirty to fifty five vote by which it rejected yester- day the amendment of Senator Robin son, democrat, Arkansas, designed to extend the benefits of the treaty to non- -signatory nations whose interests are affected.
 similar amendment by Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana was voted down 27 to 50.

Be Careful What You
 Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious as it dries the scalp and makes hr slair brittle.
 Tho best thing to use is Musfied cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirety greaseless. It's very cheap and beots anything else all to pieces. You can get Mulsified at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply >moisten the hair with water and rub it in. about a teaspoonful of Mulsfied is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thoroughly, and finses easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is 1oft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. ....

RHODE IS. ASSEMBLY
 IN SESSION TODAY
Considering Labor Measures,
 Especially Working Hours

Providence, March l5-With three for consideration today in the legisla- ture, the state house became the cen ter of. interest in the Rhode Island textile strike situation. Leaders of the striking textile workers had given or ders that there should be no demon ,stration while the house and senate were considering working hours legis- lation but Thomas F. McMahon, pres dent Of the United textile workers and several of his leutenants, were prepared to take part In discussion Of the bills before a senate committee. Representatives of the mill owners on the other hand were making deter mined efforts to head off a AS hour law. ...-. -...
 IS Hour Bill
 The main fight centcred about the bill introduced in the house by Repre- lscntative James F. lavander Of Brs- |tol, providing fer 4S hour week for women and children under years. Labor forces claimed victWy last week when this measure was placed on the calendar of the house without reference to a committee and this af- ternoon vote on the pricinpes of the bill was looked for Friends and foes of the bill alike admitted that the vote would be close.
 Employing interests of the state ln- cluding the cotton textile mill owners, employers association and metal trades association focused their fight upon having the bill referred to a committee or continued on the caen- dar. Labor representatives were in- sistng that the vote be taken and the bill advanced on it was to passage.
 Manufacturers Appeal
 Tn petition addressed to the legis- lature asking that action on the La wander bill be deferred, ii cotton manufacturers whose mills are closed Tor crippled by the strike, declared that it would be unfair to adopt the 4S hour week in Rhode Island while industries in other states competing with Rhode Island industries had longer working hours.
 If it is desirable from the view point of the general public welfare that certain classes of the employees of certain industries should work no more than AS hours a week, it is equally desirable that this rule should, and we believe will, ultimately be made to apply throughout the United States. It is an injustice and menace to the very existence of the industry of any one state if the AS hour rule is applied only to it."

Washington, March l5. -- Issuance of gold certificates without demand, discontinued in 1917, was resumed today by the treasury. Gold certifi- cates have always been available up- on demand but during the war sil- yer certificates were issued on ordin- ary checks. Resumption of the or dinary use of gold certificates was said by treasury officials to remove the last artificial currency situation growing out of the war and to indi- cate a return to normal conditions.
 The treasury now holds approxi- mately $3,000, 100000 in gold and it was said there is now no reason why gold certificates should not be freely available

Supreme Court =
Decides Against \ il
Contention Fashion Co

Washington. April 10.-Contracts Of
sale made by manufacturers requiring
retail dealers exclusively I, handle
their products, which may have the
effect to lessen substantially compcti-
ton. were today held to be invalid by
the supreme court.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Day in case brought by the Standard
Fashion Co.. a New York corporation.
against the Magrane- Houston Co. Of
Boston, and which sought to compel
that retail company to observe tlre
terms of Il contract which the supreme
court declared was one Of sale and not
Of agency or joint venture. Being a
contract of sale, Justice Day stated.
the only question which remained for
the court to determine was whether
the facts established that it would sub
stantially lessen competition.
Adopting the findings of the circuit
court of appeals for the first circuit
of the results obtained through the
contract. the supreme court reached q
conclusion that the contract proper
ly interpreted with its restrictive cove
'""e' 'i'hoo ~ tuc Sec
tion of the Clayton act under consider
alton" 1t therefore affirmed the de-
cision of the circuit court. which held
that contract invalid.
Under its contract the Standard
Fashion Co. agreed to sell it's standard
patterns at a discount of 20 per cent.
from retail prices and to allow GER
tain return privileges which between
certain dates semi-annually II would
receive in exchange at ninc-tenths
cost discarded patterns. In July. 1917.
the Magrane- Houston ca. decided to
discontinue the sale of the Standard
Fashion Co. patterns and place on sa Ia
in its store patterns of rival pattern
company. 1t was to enforce it's con-
tract that the fashion company
brought suit.

q few punches of vegetables at

CURED once a week for a consider

The stems of the flowers, Jordan

House to Hold Out for
American Valuation
in New Tariff Bill

Washington, Apr. 1O-(By A. P.)
TT will be American valuation or
Congress will remain here until the
snow flies" Chairman Fordney of the
House ways and means committee
declared today after he had been in
formed officially that the Senate fin
ance committee majority finally had
determined upon foreign valuation as
the underlying principle of the tariff
bill which probably will be reported
to the Senate tomorrow.
Asserting that the Senate was
overwhelmingly for American val
uation, the House committee chair
man said it was his judgment that
the Senate managers would agree to
that valuation when the bill got into
conference between the Senate and
House.
Rciterating that the House would
not yield on the valuation question.
Mr.. Fordney said, he did not believe
on the Republican side who would
not stand firm for American valua-
ton and fight it out"
Long fights were expected on 4
number of the provisions in the bill,
more particularly those involving
dyes. hides. shoes and feathers, wool,
cotton, lumber. metals and farm
products. Many lesser controversies
also were in prospect, with one prob
ably centering around efforts of dry
advocates to include in the bill gen.
eral provisions aimed against liquor
smuggling 1t was said today at the
finance committee offices that the
anti saloon league. through it's gen.
eral counsel Wayne E. wheeler. had
sought to have such provisions in
corporated in the measure by thf
committee majority.
One proposal. it was explained.
was that a section be written into the
bill under which persons smuggling
liquor into the country would be lia-
bic to payment of a duty many times
that fixed in the measure on liquor
lawfully imported in addition to the
penalties prescribed by existing laws.
Another proposition was that au-
thority be given no customs officers
to search and seize ships lettering
outside the three mile limit for the
purpose of getting liquor supplies
into the United States lawfully.

Victorious Colby
Debaters at Home

The Colby debating team returned
last night from. their trip through
the middle west. They won five out
of the seven debates in which they
participated. The men who went on
the trip were Clyde E. Russell OF
Charleston. Forest NJ. Royal of Houl-
ton. George E. Wolste tenholme, Sydney
Mines, n. S., and Leonard w. Mayo
of New Gloucester. DR.. Herbert c.
Libby, head of the department Of
public speaking at Colby. accom-
panied the team. This is the long
est trip ever attempted by any Colby
team and everybody connected with
the college was very much interested
as to their success. The men were in
almost 30 of the states in the union
and every where were treated with
utmost cordiality. They attended
many Rotary club dinners and were
guests at many of the functions in
the cities that they visited. They de-
bated one college that was not on the
schedule. That was the Colorado
Agricultural college. The decision
was to have been made by profess
sor of one Of the western colleges but
he criticised the work of both Of the
teams and stated that he was not go
ing to give any decision. The team
spent several days in the cities of
Washington. Philadelphia, Boston
and New York, after they were done
debating.
A royal reception was given by the
members of the Colby faculty and
student body. Five hundred people
met the 5 o'clock train with a band
and after the train pulled in the pa
rade turned down College avenue to
the city square where Chick Gale led
in songs and cheers. For fully half
an hour College avenue was filled
with students doing the snake dance
and shouting to the top of their
lungs. An unfortunate electric car
bound from Fairfield to Waterville
was darkened again and again as
some wag pulled the trolley pole
down. After the parade everyone
went up to the field back of Hedman
hall where bonfire was already to
touch off and here more singing and
cheering was in order and after that
speeches were made by the returned
men. The Colby spirit was right
there last night and everyone was
enquiring along the street if Colby
had started baseball SO early and
who she had played.
