FORTY HOUR WEEK

Detroit, March 25.-Adoption OF
the 40 hour week as permanent
policy in all plants of the Ford
Motor company was announced to-
night by Edsall B. Ford, president
Of the company. Under the new plan
the factories will be closed on Sat-
urday and Sunday and about 5000
men will be added to the fof9ea TaA
change will affect approximate y 5O,-
600 employees who will continue to
receive the minimum $6 a day.
New employees, however, will re-
ceive a minimum of $5 daily, the
prewar scale. In making the an
nouncement, Mr.. Ford, said he had
reached the conclusion that the 40
hour week was practical, that the
additional day Of rest would prove
a benefit to the workers and that the
production schedules Of the Ford
could be so arranged as to maintain
the present output on the curtailed
working week,
Mr.. Ford said he believed great
er demand for motor vehicles, part-
cularly commercial, was an in&ca.
ton Of improvement in business
generally.

AMERICA SENDS
ANOTHER NOTE
PAYMENT FOR RHlNELAND OC.
CUPATIoN WANTED-BRIrIsH
FRENCH, ITALIAN, BELGIAN,
JAPANESE GOVERNMENTS AD.
VISED OF POSITION.

Washington, March 26.-The Am.
erican government has sent to the al.
lied powers another note supplement.
al to that recently dispatched and
designed to support its claim fos
equality with those powers in the
payment of costs arising from the
Rhineland occupation. The new note
copies of which were presented to-
day to the British, French, Italian
Belgian and Japanese governments
by American diplomatic officials ir
the capitals of those nations, declar'
ed that whether or not there should
be deficit in the French account
for its occupation army costs as Of
May /, 1921, the claim for equality
on the part of the United State:
would not thereby be affected.
The American government in it:
supplemental note in words charac
terized by one official as plain, if moi
diplomatic, notified the allied govern
ments that no juggling of bookkeep
ing as regards the Rhineland occu
patton costs will deter the United
States from pressing what it consid
ers q just claim. -
High state department officials, ir
making public the new note, explain
ed that the original identical notes
delivered to the five allied powers
arly this week stated that according
to information and accounts in pos
ession of the American government
it appeared that the amount due te
France for its occupation army costs
20 May / had been paid in full as hac
costs Of the armies Of Belgium and
Italy. Recent dispatches from France
it was said, had intimated that the
American government made mis-
take in saying that France had beer
paid in full and the supplements
note was designed to forestall any
such suggestions.

SCHOOL MONEY PAID
TRUSTEES; WORK BEGINS

Hilsman & Co., Of Atlanta, have
paid over to the Board of Trustees
of Abbeville School District the sum
of $1o1,3s3.33, the purchase price
of the bonds sold them recently.
These bonds were voted last year for
the purpose Of building new high
school building in this school district.
At the time they were issued, the
trustees negotiated a sale at about
90 for the whole issue. The Press and
Banner at that time called attention
to the law stating that the trustees
have no authority to sell these bonds
for less than par.
Shortly afterwards the bond buy
ers refused to accept the bonds
claiming some irregularity in the
legislation authorizing the issue. Lat
er when the bond market was such
that the buyers could pay par the
bonds were resold, the trustees max
ing some $4,000 by the delay. In
addition to this all contracts fol-
building etc., were made subject to
the sale going through. New con-
tracts will now be made for the
building, etc., and is believed that an
additional $4,000 may be saved to
the school district.
The school district has been in
debt for some years for improvements

FALSE RUMOR CAUSES Z:
RUN ON CHICAGO BANK
Special Detail of Police. Called On
To Control Misinformed g
.. Depositors \: X

Chicago, March 25.-A special de-
tail of rs police, armed with rifles
was called upon today to control
thousands of persons who besieged
the Northwestern Trust and Servings
Bank to withdraw their deposits fol-
lowing false ru1nor that the condi-
ton of the institution was unstable.
Several women were crushed in
the scramble to enter the bank. Their
injuries and the fear Of hundreds Of
other depositors were the outgToWth
of false rumors concerning tho
banks financial strength. Bank Off
Gals were paying out money Is fast
as the depositors could be served
and other banks were said to be
ready to supply all the cash needed.
John F. Smulski, president Of the
bank, announced an offer Of re-.
ward of $4,000 for the identity Of
the person responsible for the false
rumors. v-
The bank was declared by bank
examiners as the strongest bank IN
Chicago in proportion to its size.
The last statement showed resources
approximately Of s2o,oo0,ooo and
deposits of $4,000, 900. >.i. :
The federal reserve bank Of which
the Northwestern is a member. Sent
$3.50, 900 in an armored car TO the

SWEEPS
EASTERN EUROPE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS COMMIS-
SION REPORTs-WAVEs, OF
MIGRATION AND REPATRIA-
TIoN OF DISLoDGED HoRDES
SPREAD DISEASES.

Washington, March 26.-The dan
ger to eastern Europe from epidem-
les attendant upon the prevalence Of
famine in Russia 'is rapidly becom-
ing Serious" according to a report
compiled by the league of nations
health committee. Basihg its conclu-
sions upon information gathered from
many reliable sources, the commits
sion declared the entire frontier zone
between Soviet Russia and the Uk-
raine on one hand and central Eu-
rope on the other is less prepared to
stand the probable shock of epidemic
than it has been for several years.
The situation is gradually becom-
ing more grave, "the committee
found and predicted its elimination
when the famine reaches its crisis,
probably in April" ..
The threat of disease to Europeans
was said to be due to the tremendous
waves of migration caused first, by
the flight of peasants from the fam
inc stricken areas toward districts
Where food production is possible,
and second, mass repatriation Of
hundreds of thousands Of Poles and
others who were dislodged from
their homes during the great retreat
of 1915. While exact figures were
not available, it was estimated that
just inside the Russian frontier no
less than 10000 caravans are con-
centrated, some of them having been
on the march for four or five months.
Through one quarantine station, Bar
anowicze, 301,278 refugees passed
between March and December, 1921.
The greatly increased repatriation
was said to have resulted in break
in the Polish sanitary Gordon with
the result that typhus has spread fur
ther west than ever before, even
reaching Lithuania and East Prussia.

FINAL VOTE 81 TO 27.

Washington, March 25.-The four

Controversy over Accomplishments OF

WAS ratified by the senate today with
np reservation except the "no alb
ance" declaration proposed by the
foreign relations committee and ac-
cepted by President Harding .
The final vote of 81 to 27, repre-
senting a margin of four over the
necessary two-thirds was recorded al
ter the opponents of ratification had
made more than 20 unsuccessful at
tempts to qualify senate action by
reservations or amendments dis
tasteful to the administration. On

voted for the treaty and only four
Republicans opposed it.
Dying. hard, the irreconcilable
element which has opposed treaty

[alliance between the United States,
Great Britain, Japan and France,
forced 33 roll calls during four

ratification. They made their best
showing on proposed reservation to

drstands that under the terms OF
this treaty there is no commitment

cation to join in any defense"
Although the debate was prohibit
ed during the day session under a
,ut,anmous consent agreement, the
treaty opponents raised a point OF
cempanying the treaty but not a
order in regard to the declaration ac-
pant of it, and laid the basis for con-
tinuing their assault tomorrow when
tie supplemental treaty defining the
scope of the four power pact comes
up for consideration. It is the hope
of the administration leaders that
the supplemental treaty may be- rati-
fed and all that pertains to the

on the public buildings of the dis
trict, but with the money now in
hand, these debts will be paid, and
there will be sufficient left to build
modern high school building, and
equip it with the latest and best fur
niture and fixtures.
It is understood that the trustees
have already communicated with an
architect and that work on the new
building will be commenced at once.
It is possible that it may be complet-
/ before the schools open in Sep
Jember, though this is doubtful.
The number Of pupils in the city
schools have increased so rapidly
that the present buildings are great
: crowded and another building has
oeen badly needed for sometime.
It is not known just where the
building will be erected. The trus-
tees formerly purchased a lot on
Chestnut street for the building, but
whether this trade has been abandon
ed, or whether it is still of force, we
are not advised. 1t is likely that a
final determination of this matter
will be had this week. The trustees
will meet Thursday to 60 into all
these matters.
