BIC BENEFIT SEEN
IN FARM CREDITS
Secretary Wallace Classes
Law StabiIizer, and Among
Most important Enacted.

Secretary Wallace of the Department
of Agriculture believes the farm credits
act to be one of the most important
pieces Of legislation passed by the last
Congress and that by stabilizing agri-
cultural production and marketing its
effect will be reflected in business gen.
orally.
vt marks an earnest effort by Con-
gress to provide the farmer with the
sort of credit he must have to carry
on efficiently" the Secretary said in a
statement today, land to meet a need
which has been felt for at least fifty
years. The act may not be perfect.
Quite possibly experience will show the
need of amendments from time to
time. But it furnishes the basis for a
system of intermediate credit adapted
to farm conditions and farm needs and
also should bring about a reduction in
the interest which farmers must pay
for money borrowed"
Time Required In Preliminaries.
Some time probably will be required
to get the credit machinery provided
in the legislation in smooth working
order, the Secretary said, but added
that IL ''SnOulO not Uc very lOlS uHlli
the benefit will be apparent"
1.-The United States warehouse act
has an important relation to the new
credit system" the Secretary said.
"It provides a permissive system of
licensing warehouse men by the Sec
retary Of Agriculture. At present
there are $50 lincensed warehouses
for cotton, 227 for grain, 20 for wool
and 62 for tobacco. Originally the
law limited licensed warehouse COM
modities to cotton, wool, tobacco and
grain. On February % the law was
so amended as to remove the limita-
tions and permit the Secretary of
Agriculture to license warehouses for
the storage of any products he con-
siders sound collateral.
Held as "Sound Collateral.e
Receipts issued by federal licensed
warehouses are accepted everywhere
as sound collateral and there should
be no difficulty In making advantage
Gus loan on them, not only from the
intermediate credit banks and the
agricultural credit corporations, but
from other banks as well. Bankers
in agricultural sections should be able
to loan freely to farmers for produc-
tive purposes and for longer term
assurance that they can readily dis
count farmers notes taken for such
loans at the intermediate credit
banks.
"To get the full benefit of the pro-
visions of the marketing credit,
farmers should see that the ware
houses in which they expect to store
their products on the way to market
are licensed under the federal law"

EVANGELIST TAKES
FLING At STYLES
Little Hope for Men Till
Women Dress ModestIy,
Says Dr.. Naftzger.

Severe criticism of the woman who
indulges taste for body-revealing
raiment fashioned among the i'm
moral women of Paris" was made by
Rev. DIR. Earle Naftzger the Indiana
evangelist. in his sermon at the Ham,
line. NJ f. Church yesterday on why
Women Go Wrong" The evangelist
also condemned the woman who is
intoxicated with greed for pleasure
and the woman who is inclined to be
the boss" in her home.
The church auditorium was packed.
Women who came to hear were segre-
gated on the main floor. with the men
relegated to the galleries.
Takes Fling mt styles.
"If the stylish woman could hear
some of the comments of the men as
she passes on the street she would
blush" declared Dr. Naftzger. when
you meet a woman on the street today
you don't know whether she is the
wife of a millionaire or clerk in the
10-cent store.
Men are losing respect for women,
the evangelist said. because of the
suggestive clothes they wear. There
is little hope for the men," he added,
until the women dress more mod
estly"
Il want a woman to dress Well"
he declared. but not so as to raise
evil ideas in the minds of good Chris
tian men. A woman should keep
herself attractive. wholesome and
good"
The woman who is inclined to be
"bossy." the evangelist asserted, has
made great mistake in getting
married. Too many women. instead
of being a helpmate, as intended

Attacking immoral conditions in
the country. DR.. Naftzger declared
that 1.-The best, the most refined and
innocent little girl could not take
trip to Chicago on a train without
being insulted."
Before the train has done 100

trying to f1irt with her. Even the
old men on the train would attempt
to get some recognition. And if
they should succeed. they would try

he said, "I would want to be near

UPSHUR STREET SCHOOL
CASE TO BE APPEALED
District to Take Ban on Institution
for Tubercular Children to
Supreme Court.

The District government will go to
the United States Supreme Court in
an effort to obtain authority to erect
the proposed School for Tubercular
Children on the city-owned Upshur
street tract.
Although the District Court Of Ap-
peals today refused to grant the Com
missiiners' motion for an appeal to
the highest tribunal. Corporation
Counsel Stephens stated that this
latest development would not prevent
him from going directly to the United
States Supreme Court with an appeal
for a review of the case.
Property owners in the vicinity of
the Upshur street site obtained an
injunction from the District Supreme
Court preventing the Commissioners
from proceeding with the erection of
the building and the appellate tri-
bunal upheld that action of the lower

Study of the international naval

showing a serious shortage in the
personnel necessary for the fleet.
Fast Cruisers Needed.
With official opinion practically
unanimous that the most pressing
need Of the Navy is for modern scout
craft, it was predicted that imme-
diate authorization would be urged
for fast cruisers and submarines, with
additional tonnage of these types to
be added annually for definite period
High naval officials have suggested
that the Immediate program COM
prise at least eight modern cruisers to
supplement the ten of the Detroit class
now under construction, three scout and
three fleet submarines Of $500 tons and
three mine-laying submarines. At least
two airplane carriers of the Langley
type, in addition to those already under
way, also are included among the fleet
units deemed Immediately necessary.
second only in importance to the need
for auxiliaries. in the opinion of off,
cials, is that for adequate personnel.
This was brought home forcibly, it was
said, in the gathering Of the battle fleet
for maneuvers. when it was found nee
essary to order all the apprentice classes
from their schools to the ships, in order
that the vessels might be efficiently
handled. The apprentice courses were
only three-fourths completed when the
students were taken from their studies.
Personnel Needs.
Estimates of the deficiency of per-
sonnel under the present $4,000 au-
thorization run between IL and 20 per
cent, with most officials holding the
view that about 10000 officers and
men will be required to bring the
fleet up to the most efficient standard
The naval programs of the other
parties to the $50 ratio will make
the deficiencies of the American Navy
more pronounced If action to correct
them is delayed, according to officers
who have analyzed information re-
Gently acquired on this subject. Great
Britain lists fifty-six modern cruisers
built and building. aggregating $780,
600 tons: Japan twenty-five, of 157 .00C
tons. and the United States ten. OF
$4,000 tonS-of which three are for
delivery at comparatively early dates
Naval officials generally are of the
opinion that the modernization of the
capital ships. authorized by the las,
Congress, will place the frst-lint
ships on a parity with any in the
world, and are prepared to concen.
trate their efforts on the building VI

one-half the number of aircraft

outbreak of a major emergency would
find us not only unprepared, but un-
able to prepare"
With relation to these strategic
raw materials. which must be i'm
ported. the report said:
LAS a nation we are, apparently,
content to assume that we shall keep
control of the sea to the extent nee
essary to import these strategic raw
materials. A plan for national de-
fense prepared on such assumption is
unsound. unless in time of peace the
Navy is maintained on a basis that
will enable 1t to keep control Of the
sea and SO justify this assumption"
