PRESIDENT WILL
 GREET MOCUL s

Washington Feb. s-This city ex- tended the hand of welcome to base ball magnates of the American League today for their first meeting outside of New York or Chicago in the history of the organization. Clark Griffith. President Of the Washing ton club. had arranged for the clnb owners and officials to pay their re- spects to President Harding at the White House before beginning their sessions later in the day.
 The meeting was called for the specific purpose of raFifying the 1922 playing schedule. but it was believed it would not adjourn with out some discussion of plans for effecting re- storation of the draft, now opposed by several of the minor leagues. Many runors of impending trades of players for which the gathering would afford opportunity for direct negotia- ton also came to town with the mag mates. The only one of which they ap- pe2red to be aware, however, concern ed the New York and Detroit clubs and even this was wholly conjectural as to the probable players involved.

SUCCESSFUL DRY
 FARMS IN TEXAS

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 8-The first dry farming in Texas is believed by older residents here to have been attempt ed successfully just west of Dallas has been found to be land with val uabIe deposits good for making ce- ment. The ground has never had the appearance of good farm land
 Developments of the land for farm purposes was undertaken by a group of French political refugees who founded a colony just west and north of what is now known as Oak Bluff, ing was by F.. Renrond, who also had ideas the land had other values, in c1uding gold deposits and clays good for pottery. Inexperience with condi- tions as encountered in the new col ony, difficulties of farming and oth- CT problems caused the colonists to gradually abandon their project, and many moved into Dallas
 The French colony came to Dallas county in 1855, under the leadership of Victor Prosper Considerant. M. Cantegral, for whom Cantegral street in Dallas is named, was prominent with Consid erant-
 The colony consisted of political re fugees from France, most of whom were men who had distinguished themselves in politics or science They settled on the hill west of Dallas which is called Western Heights and which was then known as Flanders Heights. The cOiOnlSLS LOOK up agr1- culture and built houses of stuff quar- ried from the hills. Only two or three houses still stand and they are in dilapidated condition.
 One of the colonists was E. Re rnond, who was famed as a scientist and spent the greater part of his life developing the possibilities in the for
 nations of those western hills. He made pottery and cement and terra cotta and various other things from the materials found there. It was said to be due to his efforts that tfi 6 existence of gold in paying quanti- ties in the hills was discovered, but it was found to be more profitable to make cement than to separate the gold.
 Another member of the colony was Reverchon, who was famed as a. na- turalist and wrote many books on this subject AgaSSiz was his intimate friend and often visited him on Wes- tern Heights. Other members of the colony, included Jean Barbier, J. B. Louck and L. c. Dessaint.
 The first dry farming in Texas was practiced by the French colony, it was said, and the first dry farmer in the colony was Remond- He is said to have raised a good corn crop which had only one rain from the time it | was planted until it matured and that rain was in May.
 Potential resources of the Western | Heights country were pointed out in | articles written for The Dallas News l by Remond. He claimed that 1t had splendid clays for pottery making and
 similar work and wonderful shale for
 cement.

By T N. SANDIFER, International News Service Stan
 Correspondent.

Washington, Feb. S-In the face of growing foreign opposition, President Harding is going to press Congress for early action on some form of sub sidy which will guarantee to the American merchant marine a fighting who have been bolstered up by gov ernment aid for years.
 Details of the plan which President Harding eventually will propose will be worked out as time goes on, but they will be based on the recom- mendations of Chairman Lasker, of the Shipping Board, and whose ideas. in turn, are founded on the advice of experts who have studied the question thoroughly.
 The primary object in view is to put American shipping on an equal plane with that of Great Britain, our principal maritime competitor.
 In general, the main features of the subsidy are understood to be:
 First: That the profits of the op- orator will be limited by law.
 Second: Government aid will be of an indirect character. except where and where it is desirable to main tain the flag regardless of lowered profit.
 Customs Help Considered
 Third: The necessary aid will ex- tend to the operators and to the personnel on the ships, the first be- ing accomplished by means of al- lotting a share of the customs levied on the goods brought over and the second by making the crews a part of the naval reserve and thus giving them increased pay.
 This latter proposal is of consider able importance in the scheme, as

MISS Du the mysterious ladV without @ first name, is now appear ing in the Inuch-heralded million dol lar picture featuring Erich von Stro- helm. There have been many stories about the pretty Miss du Point, who looks very much like Katherine Mac Donald. One of them is that she is well known Los Angeles or California society girl who does not wish, to be known by her right name.
 Another theory, one which sounds nearer the real truth, is that a ca my director or publicity man christened this young actress Miss du Pont just to surround her with a bit of mystery for publicity purposes. Whatever the reason we have with us Miss du Pont in the million dollar setting of Foolish Wives Miss du Pont plays with fire in the form of the wicked Erich himself.

FIGHTING GCHANCE IS ASKED FOR MARINE In Past Year Is Spent To Assist One Million
 Men Disabled In War.

American ships crews are among the highest paid and best cared for afloat, 1t is stated. For this reason their maintenance forms heavy item in the expenses of the ship op- orator. If part of this burden can be lifted by increased pay from other than the operator himself it will greatly assist the entire programme, it is stated.
 Preceding the formulation of this framework a full report was made by a special committee. In this re- port the following outstanding recoTa- mendations were picked as material on which to draft future policies.
 1. The sale of the remaining fleet as soon as possible, at reasonable figures.
 These Are Recommendations.
 2. Establishment of a loan fund. under administration of the Shipping Board, similar to the revolving fund for the railroads and for generally similar purposes.
 3. Income and other tax relief.
 4. A Government-created non prof1t-making insurance corporation providing insurance for vessels at cost. cent. of incoming immigration.
 A number of other detailed recom- mendations covering technicalitles Of 8 vital nature to shipping were made and discussed fully.
 In addition to this report, Chairman Lasker has informed Congress that without some form of Government support the American merchant ma rine cannot successfully wage fight for it's life against old-established tors are "old in the business and have ways that can cut up the aver age American line, handicapped as it is in almost any commercial struggle
