Favcrs Physician For Welfare Body.
Emory L. Coblentz. State Director
of Welfare, believes. that one of the
members of the Board of Welfare
should be physician of standing. To
this end it is probable that Mr.. Co
blentz will recommend that Governor
Richie appoint DR.. Lewellys F. Bark
er to the Board.
DR.. Barker is chairman of the
physicians committee, which, at the
request of the present State Board
of Prison Control. has reported re-
Gently on conditions at the House of
Correction and the Penitentiary.
It appears that Mr.. Coblentz is will
ing to- allow the Governor to find a
successor to William H. Landlord as
warden of the Gut.
There has been some speculation as
to whether Robert d. Case, secre-
tary Of present Prison Board, will be
made secretary to the new Board Of
Welfare. II seems that action to
supersede Mr.. Case may be deferred
a year. as he has an extensive knowl-
edge of the Prison Boards work.
The Director of Welfare takes the
view that. he should devote all the
time necessary to discharge the
duties of his new office, even il those
duties take six days out of the seven.

income From Autos win Drop.
Next year will be the last in which
the Office of the Automobile Commits
sioner viii serve as the biggest single
revenue-producing department of the
State. In 1922 this department pro-
duced about $2,700,OOO from the regis
tration fees Of automobiles. On the
basis OF these figures it should collect
about 100000 in 1923. most Of which
win be received prior to January is.
After that the receipts Of the office
will be nominal in comparison with
what they have been. 1t is not ex-
pected that the receipts ever will ex-
coed s1.oOo,OOO again.
The reason for this is the tax ON
gasoline. Beginning January 1, 1924,
this tax will constitute the bulk Of the
charge on automobilists for the use Of
the State roads. The tax has been in
effect since June / last, but it has
been only at the rate Of / cent a gal.
Ion and has been for the purpose Of
providing for the deficit In the con-
struction funds of the State Roads
Commission.
John N. Mackall. chairman Of the
State Roads Commission, who worked
out the gas tax and was instrumental
in securing its passage through the
Legislature, said the one-cent tax had
worked out almost exactly as antici-
pated. 1t has averaged 5000 a
month for the six months the tax has
been in operation and is expected to
average $4,000 a month for the 10
months to January 1, 1924. II 1t does.
the maintenance deficit will be wiped
out.
On January 1. when the two-cent tax
on gasoline goes into effect, it is ex.
pected to produce revenue of at least
81, 100000 year. Then the registra-
ton fees of Automobiles will be re-
duced. The new charge is expected to
be about one-third of the old registra.
tion fees. or 20 cents per horsepower.
Adoption Of the gas tax by Maryland
and the District of Columbia automat-
ically will solve all reciprocity trou-
bles that have been agitating motor
lists for years.
A bill already is before Congress
providing for the adoption of the gas
tax in the District beginning with
1924. When this is passed no Wash
ington license tag will be required for
Maryland machines and no Maryland
tags for Washington machines.

Pills and salts give temporary re-

Science has found a newer, better
way--a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat

gentle lubricating action of Nujol most

CONFERENCE FAILS

DISAGREE.

LOndon.-The allied powers seem to
to be looking to the United States as
last hope of preventing definite
break In the entente over reparations,
following the collapse of the London
reparations co ference Despite Off
ctal explanations and the decision to
continue the discussions in Paris, the
allied premiers after three days
conversations find themselves in
what appears to be s1fhplete disagree
ne2t over reparatiOns. Adjournment
to Jan. is an effort to delay a little
longer the apparently inevitable split
in allied unity
NJ. Poincare returned to Paris with
the reparations problem as far from
even temporary settlement as when
he arrived here, although his determin-
alton to demand partial occupation Of
the Ruhr for customs collections was
the chief contribution to the failure of
the present negotiations.
There are many well informed
French observers who believed that
France will never go this far In ex-
acting guarantees and If decision is
eventually taken to act alone, such
action to be confined to the admins
tratlon of the RhIneland it is regarded
as not unlikely that Great Britain will
make one great generous offer to
France before adopting n policy of iso-
lation. This, 1t is thought, may take
the form of offering to. cancel the
French debt if France accepts reason
able indemnity.
1t is thought possible in French
quarters that the British might ap-
pr0ach President Harding's admins
tration between now and January
with the purpose of ascertaining if
the United States would be willing to
make possible European settlement of
reparatiOns by cancellation of the
French debt, or at least entering
conference in which such step would
be considered.
The next link in the long chain of
the allies struggles to get together
Will be forged ut Paris on Jan. 2.
There will be a fortnight then left for
the allies to agree upon some pro-
gram.
The moratorium granted the Ger
mans expires Jan. 10, and the next
payment on account of reparations,
which Germany protests she is un-
able to meet, will be due on that date.
The agreement to disagree-only
temporarily, the diplomats assert
was cOnsummated in three days, EN-
bracing four meetings of the allied
premiers. The rock on which har-
mony foundered was the British re-
fusal formally to countenance the
French project for partial occupation
OF the Ruhr and the taking charge of
important German Industries. The
British cabinet refused to cooperate
with France in such measures.

UNABLE to reach an agreement just

and the Asiatic frontiers of Turkey,
the delegates to the Lausanne confer
ence devoted most of their time last
week to the problem of the control Of
the Dardanelles. Here the Russians
came in, ind they did 1t In way that
almost disrupted the conference. NJ.
Tchltcherin, head of the soviet delega-
tion. went so far In apparently backing
up the Turkish claims for sole control
of the straits that even Ismet Pasha
could not agree with him. and Lord
Curzon was bitterly resentful. The
Russians demanded the restoration of
the 1914 regime giving Turkey tull sov.
erelgnty over the straits with right
to fortify them and the convention Of
prohibiting the passage Of warships at
any time. This plan would make Of
the Black sea Russian lake, since 1t
included the provision that Turkey
must permit the passage of Russian
warships except under exceptional cir
cumstances.
For several days neither the allies
nor the Turks could be persuaded to
offer definite plan, each side insist
ing the other should speak first. Ismet
took what seemed like the consistent
position that, as the straits are really
Turkish territory, the allies ought to
present their plan first. At last the
British. French and Italians reached
an agreement among themselves and
submitted their proposals. Briefly,
these provide for free passage through
the straits for both merchant shipping
and warships. both In peace and in
war. excepting only when Turkey Is n
belligerent. They provide also for a
demilitarization Of the straits, COM
