CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-"Townleyism
dead2 Bunk!'
A C. Townley, the picturesque presi-
dent OF the militant Nonparttsan League
and leader of the most remarkable ex-
periments in State Socialism America
has ever experienced, thus disposed of
q query as to the present status OF
the league which went down to defeat
in the stronghold of North Dakota last
October. Townley is In Chicago attend
ing the conference of Progressive-Lf Liberal
Spokesman of union labor, agricultural
and other organizations, which opened
today.
The conference was called by some Of
the foremost leaders of organized labor.
Townley said he was present as an Job
server" and by invitation.
1.-The Nonpartisan League" said Town
ley as he chewed on a toothpick and
tipped back his black SLOUGH hat, lis
stronger today than 1t ever was. A good
proof of this fact is your agricultural
bloc in Congress. The bloc is the
outgrowth of the efforts of the Nom
partisan League in the Northwest and
farmer organizations in other States to
get some relief for the hard-pressed
farmer. I think we have u good chance
Of getting that relief, too.
HOPES FARMER
WILL GET RELIEF.
II am in hopes this conference called
by the union labor leaders win throw
its influence into the movement for the
sterilization of farm products SO as to
give the farmer a fixed Government guar
antee of a reasonable profit on mis- prod
ucts. Labor cannot prosper unless the
farmer is prosperous"

BIG PROBLEM
YET TO SOLVE
Question Of Japanese in Cali
fOrnia Will Come Up
Soon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-The next big
question between the United States and
Japan to come to the forefront is the
japanese problem in California, It was
learned today. After Secretary Of State
Hughes returns from his vacation negoti-
atoms are expected to be opened between
the two governments on this question and
its collateral problem Of japanese immi-
grafton.
Baron Shidehsrs, japanese ambassador.
Is understood to be prepared to bring 1t
up for attention.
japanese diplomatic circles here do not
regard this problem as very big inter-
nationally but it is conceded as being ex-
tremely delicate because It is one par
ticularly adapted to popular agitation.
Because Of this it is thought by some
that Hughes may want TO delay further
consideration until after the forthcoming
elections. Hughes has never taken up
the California and the immigration ques-
tons with Japan with the situation In
which it WIS left by the Wilson Admin
istration.

Expect Rough and
Tumble Battle in
Senatorial Race

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Polltica1
extremes will mix it, In rough
and-tumbIe battle for the Senate seat
now occupied by Senator Kenyon of
Iowa. The campaign for Senator
Kenyon's place viii get under way
this week.
Senator Kenyon will leave the SEN
ate Friday. c. A. Rawson, his sue
cessor, will serve only until after the
November election. Mr.. Rawson will
not be a candidate for the Repub-
Hcan nomination at the June primary.
Charles E. Pickett and Smith Brook
hart will be the chief contestants for
the G. o. ?. nomination.
Washington politicians already have
begun to refer to the Iowa contest
as 1.-The battle Of the ultras." They
give it this title because Pickett is
regarded as an ultra-conservative Re-
publican, while Brookhart Is avow-
eddy an ultra progressive.
Picket, q former member OF Con-
gress, was the only Republican candt-
date for Congress from Iowa to be
defeated in the year he made his exit.
His friends expect President Har-
iings influence to help Pickett-but
President Harding has been warned to
keep out OF Iowa this year.

TOwrIey Holds Farm Bloc Activities PrOUe
Body Isn't Weakening.

Townley pooh poohed the suggestion
Nonpartisan League sentiment is weaken
ing anywhere. He declared the situation
was satisfactory in North Dakota. In
South Dakota, he said, the league has
paid membership Of 10000; in Ne
braska 10000; in Wyoming 1900, that it
is rapidly growing In Colorado, and Is
the second political party in Montana.
Asked how he accounted for the nu-
merous bank failures last year In nom
partisan North Dakota, he said:
Economic conditions. Didn't you no.
tice there were a lot of failure in other
States, too? Our political enemies ad-
vertised ours. The business interests sab
otaged North Dakota"
NOTHING WRONG
WITH NORTH DAKOTA.
Continuing in this vein, he said:
There is nothing at all wrong with
North Dakota. Our program Is going
through. And it isn't Sovietism either.
Our undertakings, begun in 1915 when we
went into office, are proceeding under
the regime Of the new Governor, r. A.
Nestos We went in for State ownership
of terminal elevators, -four mills, rural
credit banks, exemption of farm improve
ments from taxation, State hail Insurance,
workmen's compensation and minimum
wage for women. None Of these laws have
been repealed All we lost at the polls
last October was q few men. The pro-
gram lives--so does league sentiment"
Asked to comment on his recently
served ninety-day sentence in the Jack
son County (Minn.) jail for violation Of
the espionage net, Townley said:
1T was framed. They accused me, Of
disloyal intent. They never proved It,,
Lut they didn't railroad me to prison"

bonds, but legal difficulties have inter-
fered.
BARNS REGARDED
as FIRE-PROOF.
The barns destroyed by the IRE. which
started shortly before 7 o'clock yester-
day morning, were built in 1907 and
were rated as semi hreproof. They were
among the most modern buildings at the
Playground.
The two men who were seriously hurt
in the fire are FL. o. Busby, owner OF
Lord Busby, a race horse valued at
$25 900 who was killed in the fire, and J.
F. Meyers, riding instructor and
proprietor of the Blue Ribbon Stables.
Mr.. Busby was trapped in the barns
where he was sleeping. Persons on the
outside succeeded IN pulling him through
the bars Of the window of his room, but
only after he had been seriously burned.
He was taken to the Methodist Hospital,
where 1t was said he will recover. Mr..
Meyers was burned in an atte1art to
rescue his horses. A heavy cross bar fell
on one of the horses as Mr.. Meyers was
releasing it. The horse fell on Mr.
Meyers and he was severly burned before
ne could release himself.
Mr.. Busby had no insurance on his
property. The insurance on Lord Busby
had lapsed some time ago and Mr.. Busby
had $3.50 in a trunk In his room with
which to renew It. The money was de-
stroyed In the fire.
Among the other horses killed in tho
Are were about sixty belon ging to the
Indianapolis batteries Of the Indiana Ma
tional Guard. About fifteen of the guard
horses are unaccornted for. They are
believed to have been among num-
Der Of horses which employees of the
stables succeeded in releasing.

Adtutant General Harry p. Smith, the
head Of the National Guard. said the
horses were saddle and battery horses and

2 CITIES MAY
ENTER SUIT IN
MERGER CASE
Commission Files Individual
Valuations for Electric
Corporation Properties.

Attorneys for Indianapolis and Kokomo
today were studying the order of the pub
lie service commission, issued late Sat
urday, denying a rehearlng upon the petit
ton for the merger of the Indiana Elec-
trio Corporations. The cities are op-
posing the merger. Unless II Is found
that the Saturday order contains q con-
tingency which would preclude consider
ing it as final judgement the attorneys
intend to file suit some time today in
a Marion County court asking that tho
commissions approval be set aside and
the corporation be enjoined from issuing
securities or purchasing any part Of the
property Of the seven Hoosfer utilities
involved.
Taylor E. Gro2inger, corporation coun-
sell; Samuel AShby, former corporation
counsel, now special counsel for the city
Fred Bates Johnson, special counsel for
Kokomo, and Fred II. Jessup, city attor-
ney Of Kokomo, have had the complaint
prepared for several days anticipating
that the public service commission, as It
did Saturday, would deny their petition
for d rehearing on the merger order.
COMMISSION SETS OUT
INDIVIDUAL VALUATIONS.
In denying the rehearing the commits
sion's order amended its original ap-
prevail of the merger Of seven Hoos1er
utilities by setting out individual val
uations Of the property In place Of a
lump value Of ST, $4,000 by providing, as
the law requires, that q statement show
ing that three fourths Of the stockholders
Of each company have consented TO the
sale Of their property to the electric cor
poration before final approval of the
merger will be granted and that all
stockholders not consentlng to the mer-
ger must be paid the appraised value Of
their stock, as fxed by the commission
in cash.
The municipal lawyers hesitated to file
suit because Of the provisions in the sec
ond order that final approval Of tho
merger would be withheld by the com
mission until the utilities file statements
showing that three-fourths of the stock.

Some Features Of Fasting.

Prof. Francis G. Benedict, director
of the nutrition laboratory of the
Carnegie institute of Washington, at
Boston, told physicians and the gen.
eral public some important things
about fasting, in the second Harring-
ton lecture, given at the University
of Buffalo. medical department, Buff
falo, last June. In fact, the eminent
authority on nutrition slipped up on
only one point so far as | can follow
he made the popular error of calling
fasting starvation. an error which
Noah Webster does not approve, but
which many physicians are guilty OF
making in their scientific writing and
speech Fasting is often beneficial
as remedy and. as many nave
learned short fast often improves
the health. Starvation is fatal, or at
least it threatens life. No physician,
surely. would starve a patient,
though some physicians write and
speak of starving patients as uncon-
cernedly as you or l might say

University, Middletown. Conn, volun

seven days, spending the entire time
during the fast in respiration cham

creted could be carefully measured.

The average loss of weight was a
kilogram daily-about two pounds
for the first two days and rather less
than that on the subsequent days of
the fast. 1t got down to about one
pound day the fifth or sixth day.
A remarkable feature was the pro-
nounced depletion of the glycogen
storage in the body the first two days
of the fast Glycogen is the blood
sugar." the form in which fuel energy
is stored in the body, in the muscles
and liver particularly. This sugz
gests that the average individual
need not feel at all anxious about his
strength or energy if he loses his
meal ticket and fails to find it for
forty-eight hours; or that one might

What Is known as the tiara Is the
favorite shape of headdress among
those who deal in such matters. 1t Is
ancient, it is royal, 1t is a sign of
place and power and wealth. yet 1t
has not been restricted to such usage.
Even the Russian and Roumanian
peasantry used the pointed forehead
band as the foundation of much Of
the gorgeous head coverings on
which they spent money and years Of
labor.
When the pointed band was not
used. the arc was. Russian costumery
often shows this wide half-circle
across the head, probably suggested by
the aurora borealis. 1t has been worn
here at Russian balls and taken as
novelty for bridal veils =
For centuries the tiara has been the
choice of jewelers. for whatever bril-
liancy was needed by the rich for
their hair when they were arrayed in
ceremonial costume. 1t was not sup
posed to be correct for commoners to
wear the pointed crown in jewels, but
Americans, who insist upon adopting
whatever they wish in the world: no
matter what it symbolizes in class
distinction. picked the tiara as their
favorite form Of forehead band. A
royal crown on republican head.
When the whole world wore it
democratic, republican and mon
archical-its distinction was low
cred. 1t merely became a safe way
in which to mount a multiple num-
ber of jewels. This season 1t is more
republican than ever. 1t has ceased
to be made of precious stones. 1t is
built of brilliants. 1t Is of colored
crystals if the wearer chooses. How

The milhners have filched it from
the jewelers.. They, like the dress
makers indulge in the making of
of the gown. and find that it works
