ON account of the deplorable loss
OF life in the Roma accident, the army
and navy reception to have been given
at the White House tonight. has been
postponed until Wednesday, April 10.
President and Mrs. Harding feel

the White House, received an informal
report from Maj. Gen. Patrick. chief
OF the air service. who returned early
today from Langley Field where he
MADE preliminary investigation of
the disaster.
The war secretary was understood

Despite public reports to the con-

Statement that failure of congress

Appropriate Funds

RAIL LABOR BOARD
ANNOUNCES SLASH
AFFECTING 10000
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Another pay
slash, this time hitting 10000 station
ary railroad firemen and oilers, was
made by the United States railroad
labor board today when it announced
rules, effective March 1, eliminating
extra pay until after the tenth hour
and setting up split trick of eight
hours within spread of twelve with
out any overtime pay.
Following several other decisions
virtually restoring the ten hour day
for railroad workers, the board today
authorized the roads to pay only pro-
rata wages after the regular eight
hours which the board retained in
principle as constituting a days work.
Time and one-half will be paid after
ten hours. In the case of split trick
straight time will be paid for the first
ten hours work, whether included in
the twelve hour spread or not, and
time and one-half will be given there
after
Formerly the firemen and oilers. all
of whom work around railroad shops.
were paid time and one-half after
eight hours.
Sundays and holidays will be paid
for at the pro rata rate, minimum OF
three hours pay being made for two
hours work or less. Monthly rated
employees wages are to be adjusted to
eliminate the old time and one-half
provisions.
Ten rules regarding discipline, griev.
ances, discrimination against commit.
teemen and similar matters were re.
manded to the employees and the roads
for further negotiation. The boards
new rules supplant the national agree
ment made during federal control
which has been in effect since Janu
ary 16, 1920.

SAYS NON-PART|SAN
LEAGUE MUST LEARN
PRACTICAL POLITICS
(By Associated Press)


LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 23.-Tactics
now pursued by the Non-Partisan
League make impossible any lasting or
substantial victory, and until the fight
nothing can be won. A. C. Townley,
national president, told the Nebraska
Non-Partisan League state conven-
ton in a three-hour speech here last
night.
He said the thing to do is to play
practical politics.
He said he was forced to this con-
clusion by the fact that in the first
place, the league cannot win the Of
fices, secondly if they do win them
they cannot hold them and that lastly
too many rascals and incompetentS
were put into office by the league"
He said the league began its exist
ence by saying it would have no deal
ings with the politicians "It went
out in the woods and got some mighty
green timber, some of which after
wards proved pretty rotten, and tried
to train it to play politics against pro
fessionals," he said
81 have come to the conclusion,
said Townley, that the thing the poll
ticians want most-the office-is the
cheapest thing we can give them The
power of our program is not posses
sion of the offices but in the minds of
the people. So far as l am concerned
the men we brought from the woods
as green timber can go back. The
league found itself worse off when it
got its own men into office because
they were utterly unframed, and some
of us were unable to train them, be-
cause we did not ourselves know prac-
tical politics or state-craft."

How About Water


Despite anything anti-dry forces

a mighty necessary adjunct to good
health. Few people drink enough

but few heavy water drinkers.
There Is a time for drinking water
Just as for anything else. The Ger
son who is fighting fat should avoid
drinking at meals, because the food
Is washed down too easily and one
o~vereats almost unconsciously.
The sufferer from acid stomach
should not drink Immediately after
eating, or, in fact, until digestion is
we'll started. Although water Is an
aid to digestion, if taken in excess.
1t will cause an excessive flow of
gastric acid.

during the day. When the business

ana another just before retiring,

To be effectively uncertain, coy
and hard to please in her hours of
ease, a woman should be highly
decorative. And that is one time
when she may be.
The clothes we wear for work are
styled, the ones in which we play
must follow d certain formula but
the ones in which we rest and
lounge may have all the imagination
and color we want so that thoughts
as well as body may have a change.

come from countries where leisure

dress of the people.
Had the Japanese women been
workers outside the home, they
would never have adopted the kimo-

The kimono is. of course, the most
misused of garments, but it remains
one of the essentials of a woman's
wardrobe.
A kimono may be of cotton crepe,
for a price so trifing it scarcely
makes a dent in the weekly pay
check, or it may represent months
of patient hand-work, the artistic
achievement of some Japanese art
list, and cost accordingly.
Nothing is more lovely than the
real japanese article. But very at
