"The first real winter storm with

Chairman Jones Expects Up

By J. BART CAMPBELL,
International, Naxs Serxics.

With the Madden amendment
adopted by the House eliminated as
requested by President Harding
the pending ship subsidy bill will
be reported to the Senate today
from the Senate Commerce Com
nittee by Senator Jones (Rep.) Of
Washington, its chairman.
Jones said he would move at
Mondays session to make the
measure the unfinished business"
Of the upper chamber and do his
utmost to compel immediate con-
sideratiou of it.
Accepts "Under Protest"
Chairman Lasker, of the Shipping
Board. informed the committee that
he would accept the Lenroot. Nc
Nary-Willis substitute for the Mad.
den amendment under protest"
and Jones agreed to report the bill
with the substitute written into It.
The substitute would require di.
rect Congressional authorization for
any increases In subsidy, origin.
ally GRANTED by the Shipping Board.
The Madden amendment would have
compelled the board to obtain direct
Congressional authorization for all
subsidies.
Jones admitted there was scant
prospect of the Senate acting finally
on the bill before the new year,
especially as the Administration
leaders are planning to lay 1t aside
whenever a money supply bill
reaches the Sens>e from the House.
Plans FIGHT on Measure.
Senator La Toilette (Rep) Of Wis.
consin and others Of the bills oppo.
nents were engaged in laying the
foundations Of an organized fight
against II. which Administration
spokesmen declared they expected
would develop into a filibuster.
Senator Jones and his committee
resumed work on the bill this morn.
ing in the hope Of finishing the
amended draft of 1t before the Sen.
ate reconvened at noon. Jones said
as he intended to report it. II would
differ materially from the form in
which the House passed it.

By FRED J. WALKER.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. s.-Two
things must be done by the allies
at once IL Germany Is TO be saved
from utter destruction, They are:
DECLARING a moratorium and the
floating by. all the powers OF a Dill
dion-dollar loan, Lloyd M. Robbins,
financial adviser to the United
States unofficial delegation. repars-
tions- commission. said today In an
interview with Cosmopolitan News
Service.
Must Stabilize Mark.
"The loan must be floated imme-
diately SO that the mark can be
stabilized. Unless this is done,
chaos will result. An economically
healthy Germany would assure the
future economic health Of the world.
Conditions. obtaining in Europe TO-
day, four years after the armistice'
would indicate this" Robbins said
Forcing Germany to give her
last few dollars to the allies, ac-
cording to the terms OF the Yer
sailles treaty IL folly. II is not a
business-like policy to reduce na-
tion's resources TO the point where
nothing is left over for expansion.
Germany can't make money unless
she has Sufficient reserve funds 20
enable her 20 compete with other
nations" >.
Germany did not deliberately set
out to depreciate her currency.
There is no evidence to support that
theory, Robbins continued. And
Germany has no stocking as
France had in the war OF 1870
which enabled that country to pay
off its. indemnity in three years.
Must Settle Own Problems. )
Robbins has grave doubts about
the advisability Of permitting the
committee Of guarantees to con-
troll German finances. as Ii the case
at the present time. He explained:
Germany was the highest Dr.
veloped economic unit in the world
prior to the war. This was the re-
suit OF her financial structure. IL
the indemnity Is to, be collected,
the allies must remain aloof, per-
hitting Germany to work out her
own problems In the same manner
as before the war.
'"The consensus Of opinion OF prac-
ticaIly all observers is that the in
demnity of 132 millions Of gold marks
is far and beyond the capacity, OF the
Germans to pay.
"The amount suggested which
Germany would be In a position to
settle is Nfifty, million gold marks.
That would be my estimate" Rob
bins said.

ment that the inimitable "Lasses' -
himself and his matchless band of
fun-makers will be seen at the Wash
ington on Friday, August 25th.
For this season Lasses has written
two sketches both of which may &C
cording to critics. be classed as big
features The first he calls Way
Down South" the theme of which is a
dream OF Old Black Joe that involves
the Homecoming for the holidays from
college of his three sons. great cele-
bration in honor of the event has been
arranged and in this all the neighbors
participate. The scene is that of an
old log cabin with cotton fields ad-
iCining and the Mississippi River with
a steamboat race between the Robert
E. Lee and the Natchez which supplies
stirring finals. The second and
larger feature is entitled The Black
Vile National Guard in Cuba" with its
opening scene on the main street Of
Blackville, following which we see
the Guards encamped in the shadows
OF the historical Moro Castle in Cuba
and finally we find them in Havana.
In these scenes the ever amusing
"Lasses" as Useless" Green and
slim" Vermant as Cicero" Long
prove irresistibly funny. In fact it
would be difficult to recall any situa-
lions more ludicrous than many that

LOAFER HENS ARE DOOMED
AS CULLIN GGOES FORWARD.

Lexington, Ky. Within the next
few weeks the annual fall culling OF
poultry flocks will be in full swing In
practically parts of the state, poultry
men at the College of Agriculture say.
Before the end of the season in early
October approximate yone-thtrd OF
the nine million hens in the state will
join the loafing class that culling is
designed to eliminate. This ratio Is
based on the results of culling CAM
paings that have been conducted in
Kentucky in previous years. AS IN
former years, an intensive campaign
| again will be conducted against these

the state thi syear. Demonstrations by
county agricultural agents and poultry
| specialists from the college to show
farmers how 10 recognize tn eloafing
| hens will comprise the major part of
| the movement. These demonstrations
wilyl be planned to include as many
districts of the state as possible and it
is expected that the majority of farm
ers will be taught the culling method
before the season closes
Farmers who attende the demon
STATIONS in various parts of the state
will in turn Gull thei rown flocks and
in some cases show their neighbors
how the work is done. Egg produc-
ton records also will be kept on the
various flocks for a week before and
after culling in order to show that
the hens which were eliminated were
laying few if any eggs.
Each year culling proves to be
popular movement with farmers and
poultry raisers. The fact that one
third OF the hens in the flock can be
culled out and sold for cash without
reducing the number of eggs obtained
from the flock together with the fact
nat considerable feed is saved for
laying hens appeals to the poultry
flock owner who is attempting to
make the most profit from his bust
