Genoa CONFERENCE
TAKES TWO GREAT
STRIDES FORWARD
Russo.G German Treaty Eliminat-
ed From Controversies
Wet Russia Accept.

FROM UNITED STATES
Motta Declares It Would Be Diff

GENOA, April 21.-The economic
conference today made a great stride
forwa ID The elimination Of the Rus
so.Gerrnan treaty from the controver-
~ and soviet Russia's provisional ac-
reotanee Of the allied conditions con-
earning foreign debts and confiscated
property Of foreigners, produced a
very definite hope that the greatest
congress European statesmen ever
4 held viii accomplish something real
and tangible for the reconstruction of
Errope including Russia.
The demands Of the powers which
nave been accepted include the waiv-
ing ny Russia of her counter-claims,
based on military intervention; recog-
gHion Of war debts to the govern
Heuts, With tho understanding that
jaoy will be considerably scaled down;
.n'oguition OF debts and financial obli-
cations due to foreign nationals and
;Ar tights of foreigners, to have confis-
Gated property returned TO them, or
20 bc given proper compensation for it.
The conciliatory nature of the an
'wer OF the soviet government con-
,ributed TO the optimism that the boil
shevih earnestly seek an arrangement
with the powers by which soviet Rus
sin will be permitted to enter into the
comity of the nations. The clear and
b-ief demands Of the allies, which af-
ford a concrete basis for discussion,
are compared here by the observers TO
the concrete American proposals for
naval limitation which was introduced
at the outset Of the Washington con
ference and which gave the delegates
TO the Washington gathering an op-
portunity TO concentrate discussion on
something tangible and constructive.
The inststence Of the soviet on for
elSn financial aid, as a necessary con-
dition to Russta's salvation. served to
turn all eyes toward the United States.
ior II seems to be recognized that ef-
tective succor for Russia is impossible
without the participation Of American
capital. This conviction is so pro-
found that the allied representatives
are limiting that they would like to
see Richard Washburn Child, the
American ambassador to Italy, attend
the discussions on Russian affairs.
The sentiment regarding American
financial support was summed up to-.
oay BY former President Motta of
switzerland, who said that without as
sistance from the United States It

HOLD BONUS BILL
CONFERENCE E TODAY
Will Be Real Discussion of
Whole Subject Opposes {
Giving 1t Preference.
tey The Associated Press1

/ WASHINGTON, April 21.-Repub-
ilicans of the senate finance committee
will hold conference tomorrow on the
soldier bonus. bill passed last month
by the house. Chairman McCumber
said today there would be real dis
cussion Of the whole subject, adding it
was too early to undertake to say
what form the bill finally would take.
The North Dakota senator made
known his opposition to the plan sug-
gested recently by republican senator's
giving the bonus bill preference to the
pending tariff measure. He said also
he was not favorably disposed to any
plan of financing the bonus with GER
tif1cates of Indebtedness, but declared
that even this was preferable to any
proposition calling for added taxation.
It is Senator McCumber's idea that
the bill reported to the senate should
contemplate a minimum of expendi-
ture in the fiscal year 1923. He re-
CARDS the house bill as entailing too
great a drain on the federal treasury
at the start
Chairman McCumber said he was

by use of part of the refunded foreign
debt could be worked out with the
American debt rounding commission
ready for business. A number Of sena-
tors hope that at least part of the new
British bonds can be in the hands of
the government about the time the
bonus measure finally is passed by
congress.
Senator McCumber said he might
take the matter up with President
Harding later.

ROMANS HAD "SUMMER TIME"
Modern Method of Counting the Hours
Merely an Imitation of Prac-
tice They Employed.


Probably few people are aware, says
a correspondent Of the London (Eng.)
Daily News, that summer time is
merely a poor imitation of a common
practice of the Romans. Whilst we
switch the clocks backward and for
ward twice a year, the Romans made
changes every day. In practically
every province Of the Roman empire
day began at sunrise and ended at
sunset The day consisted Of twelve
"hours," whose duration was not sixty
minutes, but one-twelfth of the total
period of daylight In high summer
time, with sunrise at a. m. and sun
set at 9 p. m, each s'hour' consisted
of eighty minutes. The first "hour"
was from to $40 in the morning
the second from 6 20 to Z 40, and so
on. In winter time, When the sun
rose at s a. M, and set at p. M, the
day was only eight of our hours in
duration The Roman midwinter hour
was therefore only forty minutes. The
first hour was from to s 40 a. m,
the fifth from 10 40 to IL 20 a. M,
and the twelfth from $40 to 4 p. M
Hours were normal only at the spring
and autumn equinoxes- on March q
and September %, when night and
day are of equal length.

the tickets and we hurried on the

Soon the cor ductor came along col

and settled back comfortably in my

He seemed rather amused as he re
turned the ticket with these words,
"This might have gone at one time,

glanced at the ticket | saw I had re-
tanned the half fare and given the full
fare to my young daughter Chicago

i MIGHT WORKERS IN BIG CITY
ToiIers Who PLY Their Vacations At
ter Dark Live Practically Apart
From Their Fellows.

The night men in all industries are
a race apart. There are thousands OF
them in New York who could never
be induced to go back to working by
daylight. They live in silent city
a city that has no glare. They escape
the jangle and rattle that pursues the
working crowd of New Yorks day.
It is not that they hate the sunlight,
explains the New York Sun. Some OF
them love the sun so much that they
work by night to have leisure half the
day. But most of them dislike crowds
and do not care to be jostled. They
go to work about the time that other
people are going home. Moving against
the crowd transportation they seldom
have to 60 without seat. They go
home after D. And after 2 there are
no crowds in the street.
Most Of the people who work by day
would think it a shadow city these
night men live ina city life so
completely re-geared that they never
get the full stride of New York. But
the night men would disagree. Many
Of them think they enjoy the city more
than people who always work by day.

The life of the personnel of the
naval radio-compass stations is often
slow and monotonous, but during July
the radio men at Folly island, NV,

report received by the Navy depart

this island, about eight miles off North
Carolina, INDUCED in a rare sport of
