WORST STORM IN

CHICAGO, April 1S.-Throughout the
vast basin drained by the Mississippi

Huh! Uncle Sam
Wants Money Not
Talk About Debt

WASHINGTON. April 10. - Hints
Genoa that a second international gather
ing may follow the present conference, at
which the United States would be a par
ticipant. have fallen on barren ground so
far as this Government is concerned.
1t was made clear in Administration
quarters today that, while the United
States Is not refusing invitations in ad-
vance OF their being received, this Gov
eminent, nevertheless, has no intention of
being drawn into a general world con-
ference whose principal aim, apparently,
would be to discuss liquidation Of inter
national debts.
In the first place, it was stated au-
thoritatively, such a conference inevitably
would lead to cancellation suggestions,
and that the United States is not prepared
to discuss at this time any measures
looking to general cancellation Of war
debts. On the contrary what the United
States wants to discuss is payment.
In the second place. the American debt
funding commission of five members, re-
Gently created by Congress, is now pre-
pairing for series of extended negotia
tons with debtor nations over payment,
not cancellation. The commission, com
posed OF Secretaries Mellon, Hughes and
Hoover, and two congressional represent
atives, Senator Smoot. Republican Of
Utah, and Representative Burton, Repub-
lican of Ohio, held its initial session to-
day, for purposes of organization.
Negotiations will be conducted with
debtor nations singly and not collectively.
The position of this Government is that
the money was borrowed individually by
the various countries concerned, and no
reason is seen for not collecting 1t the
same way.

An automobile was picked up and
driven into the road, nose downward.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Welburn were seri-
ously hurt when the walls of their new

tory when one of the walls fell on them

TERMITES AND
APHIS START
SPRING DRIVE
White Ants Attack Homes and
Apple Lice Endanger
Orchards.

With the coming of spring, insects are
beginning their troublesome activities.
Already there are numerous cases of
destruction by termites or white ants
reported to the division of entomology
of the State conservation department,
Harry F. Dietz, assistant entomologiSt,
said today. In one instance these Insects
caused over 81 900 damage in a residence
before their presence was discovered.
With the swelling and opening Of the
apple buds several orchardists reported
the presence of large number Of small
dark green plant lice clustered In the
buds which, Mr.. Dietz declares, are apple
grain aphis.
In the case of termites the insects gain
entrance to the woodwork of buildings
through wood joists, beams or supports
in direct contact with the ground. They
bore. through the wood pulveriz-
ing it until the attacked parts
soon collapse They leave saw
dust trail which is helpful in
locating them. Frequently, after
coIonizlng, they emerge into the
house or building in swarms and are
very annoying Removal of the wooden
parts touching the ground and substitu-
tion with brick, concrete or metal Is the
proper and effective means Of eradication,
conservation officials say.
The apple grain aphis lays lis eggs on
the apple In the fall and the young hatch
ing in the spring give rise to a winged
generation which miGrates from the apple
to various grasses and grains. This mi
grafton takes place before the apples
bloom, so this insect is not an impor-
tant apple pest and it is unnecessary to
eradicate II.
However. 1t is often confused with an
other plant louise, the green apple aphis.
which spends its entire life on the apple
and does serious damage. II is impor-
tant that Orchardists distinguish between
the two. and imperative the latter be re-
moved il an apple crop is to be sue
cessful. 1t can be eradicated by adding
nicotine sulphate to the so-called first
summer or pink spray. This luton
used as a spray consists Of line sui
phur solution commercially one and one
fourth gallons. arsenate Of lead (dry)
one pound. three quarters of a pint of
nicotine sulphate, and fifty gallons Of
water.

POLICE WILL
FIGHT SHANK
CANDIDATES
Say Broken Promises Have
Lost Him Support of
Department.

That the eight-hour day for policemen
will be an important factor in the
primary election became known today
when it WAS learned there has been
formed 3 combination of policemen and
their political friends TO eight the nomi-
nation Of any candidate supported by
Mayor Shank
1t has long been an open secret to
those in close touch with the police de-
partment that there Is dissension among
the police and that few if any policemen
are satisfied with the working conditions
and hours forced upon them by the
present Administration.
Former Mayor Jewett started the
eight hour day plan and the policemen
liked it. When a candidate for mayor,
Shank promised that toe eight hour day
for policemen would continue.
Shank had been mayor just forty
eight hours when the eight hour day plan
was changed and the men forced to
work twelve hours day. The complaints
a. that time were few. for every man
feared for his Job. However, a few lead
ers have appeared among the men ind
the dissatisfaction with the twelve hour
day working plan has become gehetal.
Many Of the policemen have carefully
checked over the list of candidates for
nomination and have determined which
ones are backed by the Shank political
machine. These are on the black list"
Roth Republican and Democrat police
officers are secretly busy fighting the
mayors political organization.
4 prominent member of the police force
said "Of course we can not come out
I'm the open and fight. for We would b.
fred on some trumped up charge. but we
can fight through a secret organization
and are being aided by our friends. 1t
was the police department that nominated
lew Shank and the police had much to do
with his being elected. 1t is a story OF
broken promises on the part Of the
mayor. lie promised us that the eight
hour shift would continue and IN just
two days after We was mayor the men
were forced 10 work twelve hours
