Washington, Jan. 28.-Four i'm
portant developments marked prog
ress yesterday in the Muscle Shoals
negotiations. and brought to tt close
the negotiations between War De-
partment officials and representa-
tiyes of Henry Ford, which have

prevail OF the contract, announced

ment." Secretary Weeks continued
work of drafting the report for Con-
gress, and told callers that he will

| the same time, probably Monday.

Strength for the Ford contract
developed from an unexpected quar-
lxer in Congress, where nine OF the
Ia House members from Wisconsin
declared their opinion in a 50int
measure to Mr.. Weeks that the
best interest Of the country would
be served through adoption of the
Ford contract.
While Mr. Ford's proposal is
awaiting decision by the legislative
branches, consideration OF which
will begin with the transmission Of
the contract next week, two other
proposals remain before Secretary
Weeks awaiting action. THESE in
clude the offers Of Frederick Eng
strum of Wilmington, N. c., and G.

Of which are in the process Of modi-
fication by their makers and will be

PLANT The HOME GARDEN
What Is Home Without Garden?
Choosing a Garden Site

A good 'workmen needs good
tools, whether he is q gardener or
a Eoilermaker. The tools absolute
ly needed in a garden are 4 hoe,
a rake and a spade. The fingers
may supply the need for others, but
a good gardener VIII supply him
self plentifully Two shapes of
hoe are really needed, one with a
heart shaped blade for making
rows. and another with the usual
flat blade for cutting off weeds just
below the surface Of the soil. There
are many new wrinkles in hoes, all
having their special uses. One of
the most convenient has rake teeth
on one side and a flat blade on the
other, so that weeds may be cut
off or the soil stirred as need be.
This is all right, and especially
adapted to women gardeners.
Three cultivator teeth are now
used instead of the usual single hoe
blade, and these in large and small
size They are particularly useful
in working long rows. A spading
fork for working light soils and dig
eing vegetables and the spade for
heavier soils or for cutting off roots
are also needed in the tool house.
An iron-tooth garden rake and
a loop-toothed rake for raging grass
are usually included. There are

New York, Jan. 28.-Among the

'batik."
Few of Us know, perhaps, the

such exquisite colorings and shad-

Batik had its origin On the Isle
of Java, where native artists discov-
cred the beauty OF hand painted
designs on white linen cloth. Amer

amazing results.
With the introduction Of this
art in America, we saw negligccs

newfangled rakes designed to. de-
capitate dandelions and prevent
their seeding which have become
very popular with many gardeners.
They, however, are special purpose
tools and not at all essential.
OF hand tools, a trowel is abso-
lutely needed. A dibber. a pointed
iron for making holes into which
to drop bulbs or seedlings is a
convenience. Hand cultiyators and

SIX ARE KILLED: FORTY
ARE INJURED IN WRECK
M. p. FLYER Half Hour Late Crashes
Into Freight Train Near
Kansas City

Kansas City.-Six persons were
killed and 40 injured, most of them
seriously, when the Missouri Pacific
Scenic Limited Filler, west bound, from
st. Louis to California, collided head
on with a freight train near here.
The flier, running half an hour late,
left st. Louis at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing. after connecting with a Pennsyl-
vania fast train from New York and
Philadelphia. Most of the passengers
were from the east, a railroad official
said.
Misunderstood orders are believed to
have been the cause of the wreck. Ac-
cording to the rules of the road, a
freight train must seek a siding 10
minutes before a passenger is due, re-
gardless of other orders. 1t is be-
lieved the fact that the train was late
confused the men in charge of the
freight train.
A railway mail car, the baggage car,
the smoking car and a chair car of the
train were wrecked. The
smoker was telescoped for two-thirds
of it's length. None of the sleeping
cars or the diner left the track.

To- REDUCE BERLIN'S
next GOLD PAYMENT
Next InstaIIment 80 Million Marks
Germany May Ask Relief of Fur
Their Payments During Year

Paris.-The Preparations commission
has decided to relieve the German
crisis to the extent of reducing the
monthly installment of 100000 gold
marks, on the schedule of payment,
to 100000 gold marks. Germany
had announced her willingness to pay
the whole amount but the commission
ruled that in view of the crisis the
smaller figure was all that would be
required.
Credit to the amount Of 106,O0O,OOO
gold marks was given to Germany on
her Preparations account for deliveries
of dyestuffs made during the last few
months to the Textile Alliance of
America for the allies, and also for
deliveries of coal which had been
made to Luxembourg at the request OF
the allied governments. These credits
were due Germany for some time and
the officials thought the time oppor-
tune to allow them in view Of German
difficulties.
Members of the PREPARATIONS commits
sion spent all day discussing the Ger
mar crisis.
The commission was expecting to
receive a formal request from Germany
for a moratorium in some form. Indi
cations were that the German note
would ask that Germany may be re
lieyed Of all remaining payments this
year.

BELIEF is THAT MERE OPENING

TOWARD AGREEMENT
ROADS WILLING TO RESPOND
Leave Door Open for Settlement
Through Railroad Labor Board.
Case Thrown Back Into
Lap of Arbiters

Chicago.-While fatty refusing to
meet the leaders of 100000 striking
shopmen to discuss peace proposals.,
railway executives have left open the
door for a settlement of the strike
through the United States Railroad
Labor board. Immediately after reach
ing an agreement with the heads of
require their members to do any of the
work of striking shopmen, the execu-
tives began consideration of a peace
program submitted to them by Ben W.
Hooper, chairman of the labor board,
after a conference with B. NJ. Jewell,
head Of the %shopmen's organization.
Their answer, in the form of a letter
addressed to Mr.. Hooper, asserted that
the strike was called in defiance of
the board.
Also that any conference between
the executives and the strikers would
not be permissible or t~olerable," as it
would place the carriers in the position
If seeking to find means to subvert
the decision of the board.
"a prompt recall of the strike or
DER" the letter added, however, would
permit the resumption of former meth
DDS of conference and permit the con-
sideration of any matters which repre-
sentativesl of employees might desire to
submit"
The willingness of the roads, how
aver, to respond promptly to any sum-
mons by the labor board to any further
hearing that may be called in connec-
ton with this subject in event the
board should determine on that coarse,
was expressed by the executives.
In railway circles the belief was ex-
pressed that the mere opening of ne
gotiations was a long step toward a
peaceful settlement and that the recent
moves had resulted in throwing the
case back into the lap of the labor
board in the exact position in which
it had rested when Mr.. Jewell had al
lowed a strike order to go into effect

Promise to Skater Average For Last
Five transformations
Are Good

Washington. - Crops in general
promise better harvests this year than
their average for the last five years,
forecasts of the department of agri-
culture, based on July 1 conditions,
just issued, indicate. Bumper crops Of
white and sweet potatoes and tobacco
are forecast and most Of the crops are
larger than last year. With the *
ception of wheat, corn and oats, acre
age this year ranges from n to 22
per cen larger than those of 1921.
Corn acreages are increased this
year in most Of the corn belt states
but in the cotton states decreases are
shown, while in Iowa, largest corn
producing state, there is a two per
cent decrease and in Missouri a three
per cent decrease. The crop in gen.
eral made good progress to July l., ex-
cept in the southeast, where it has
been neglected for cotton. Growth has
been slow east of the Mississippi, but
stands are good and fields fairly culti-
waited. Farther west rapid growth has
been made.

STRIKE FACTION
CONFERENCE FAILS
Farley in Chicago Between Roads and
Men Declared Stormy; Officials
Grant Some Demands

Chicago.-The issues involved in the
railway shopmen's strike were clearly
defined and discussed at length but no
conclusions were reached as the result
of a fourhour conference between rep
resentatives Of the railroads, the shop
men and the United States Railroad
Labor board, according to statements
issued by Chairman Ben Hooper of the
board, and B. M. Jewell, of the shop
men.
While Mr.. Hooper did not indicate
what action might be expected to fol
low the conference, Mr.. Jewell said
that the meeting was not final and
that further conferences might be ex-
pected.
Among those attending the confer
ence besides Mr.. Hooper and Mr..
Jewell, were a number of Mr.. JEWELS
international presidents and vice-pres-
idents.
The conference, according to some
of those attending, was most heated.
Ideas were exchanged and the issues
discussed. Then the railroad repre-
sentatives conceded to some of the
union chiefs demands. Others were
refused and the meeting ended when
the union executives refused to dis
cuss a settlement unless all their re
quests were met.

REPUBLICAN ranks SPLIT
VOTING COTTON SCHEDULE
Lenroot Leads Foes.-12 Republicans
Oppose Committee Rate
On Roll Call

Washington.=The first real split in
Republican senate ranks owe the ad-
ministration tariff bill came during
the consideration of the cotton schedule
with a result that 10 committee amend
ments proposing increased rates on
various kinds of yarns were rejected
one after another as fast as they were
reached. The majority opposition was
lead by Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin,
and reached it's maximum strength on
the first roll call, 10 Republicans OPP
posing the committee rate on a roll
call by which the amendment vas re-
jected 80 to "a.
The lowest Republican vote against
any amendment was nine, with the av-
erage running at 10. With a single
exception on each roll call, the Demo
Gratis voted solidly against the pro
posed increases.
With the basic duties on yarns re-
duced, it was predicted that cuts in
the rates on at least the lower grade
cotton cloth of even greater proper
lions than recommended by the finance
committee majority would be made as
the senate proceeded with the schedule,
probably some time in the near future,
as the schedule is to be laid aside in
favor of the dye embargo provision OF
the bill. A vigorous fight over it Is
forecast.
