BELL|kELY
To FAIL
Measure Calling for Manufac-
ture in Slack Times Let
Drop by Committee.
sAoTo ~ naEs .sTAFt pAoTocaApaIa

Legislation to bring about the
use of navy yards and arsenals as
manufacturing establishments to
supply some needs of the Govern
ment, which has had vigorous back
ing, will fail at this session OF
Congress, it was learned today.
The matter has been under con
sideration by the House Naval AT.
fairs Committee, having been pre-
sented in a bill introduced by Con
gresham Hull (Rep.) Iowa. Hear
ings on the bill were ended yester.
day with representatives of the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association
appearing in opposition.
Leading members of the commit
tee stated today it was doubtful if
the committee would act on the bill,
either favorably or unfaVorably, in
view of the uncertainty of getting
it before the House and of the Ger.
tainty it would not be taken up in
the Senate.
Labor leaders and representatives
of labor organizations employed al
the navy yards and 'arsenals strong
ly urged the legislation. They in
sisted it was necessary to hold
skilled workers at these establish
ments as a nucleus for a larger
organization in event of emergency
and employment by such workmer
in the Smanufacture Of supplies for
the Government would result in a
saving on expenditures for such
supplies when purchased from pri
Vate manufacturers.
Launching of the Government
into the manufacturing business in
competition with private industry
was fought by the manufacturers
and heads of leading shipyards
testified before the committee the
Government could save nothing or
the cost of supplies by having them
made at the yards and arsenals
1t would cost much money, it was
stated, to fit the machinery for
uses other than for which installed
and losses would be incurred in
small production in competition
with mass production.

NEW YORK PHYSICIANS
ISOLATE INFLUENZA GERM

SCHENECTADY, n. Y, Feb. 3.
Isolation of the influenza germ,
"bacterium pneumosintes" and the
presence of a mild influenza cpl
dernic in parts of Europe and
throughout the United States, were
announced here under direction of
the State Department of Health.
DR.. Simon NJ. FleXner, director of
the Rockefeller Institute for Medi-
cal Research, who prepared the
address delivered here, said that
DR.. Frederick T. Gates and DR..
Peter K. Olitsky, of the institute,
isolated the germ.
So small is the germ, DR.. Flaxner
declared. that it must be magnified
/ 900 times before it is seen distinct
ly under the microscope. 1t was
learned that the germ lodges in
the nose and throat during the first
thirty-six hours of infection, then
attacks the lungs in such a way
as to make them susceptible to
otherRermis in the nose and throat,
notaba pneumonia and bronchitis.

Moscow Requests Aid in Re-
storing Property Taken
Out of Russia.

Recent communications from the
Soviet Government of Russia prob
ably will be ignored by the Ameri.
can Government, it was indicated
today.
These communications, two OF
them received within the last forty
eight hours request the aid of the
United States in restoring to the
Moscow authorities property alleged
by them to have been illegally
taken cut of Russia by refugees OF
the old Czarist faction.
Instructions CabIed Wood.
One of these communications
dealt with the arrival of between
500 and 900 Russian refugees on
three ships in the Philippine Is
lands. The Moscow authorities
charged these vessels were, in ef-
feet, "stolen property"
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, Cover
nor General of the Philippines, was
instructed today by cable to exer-
else his own discretion as to whether
the refugees were to be permitted
to stay in the islands. and to take
such measures for their relief as
he deemed fit. The question of the
ownership of the vessels was ig-
nored.
The second communication re-
quested the aid of American au-
thorities in Alaska in preventing the
entry of Russian refugees into the
northern territory with valuable
furs alleged by the Moscow govern
ment to have been stolen from
their rightful owners
In commenting today upon the
receipt of these communications
from Moscow, State Department
spokesman sarcastically observed
that the Administration is noting
with satisfaction the solicitation Of
Moscow regarding the sacredness of
private property rights
The observance of property rights
was one of the chief conditions"
laid down by Secretary Of State
Hughes in his memorandum con-
corning Russian recognition a year
ago.
The official attitude taken toward
the recent communications from
Moscow probably will be that they,
do not fall into that list of "diplo-
matte correspondence" requiring re-
plies, and hence will be ignored.
Al the oIdt0 department IL was
said that the American courts are
open to the Moscow authorities if
they consider that Justice has been
denied them.
Drive For Recognition.
The Russian notes come at a time
when a new drive is about to be
launched in Congress for recognition
of the Soviet government by the
United States.
Senator William e. Borah of
Idaho, long an advocate of Russian
recognition, is not going to permit
Congress to close up a month hence
for a nine months recess without
an effort to obtain an expression
from Congress anent the Russian
situation.
Senator Borah probably will be
supported in his demand for recog-
milton by many members of the farm
bloc and the so-called "progressives''
from agricultural States. They will
argue that the American farmer
needs all the markets he can find
for his produce, and that the Rus.
sian field Is ans inviting one, once
recognition q established.

ing of reyolvers has revived the ar
gument in certain circles that the
act against carrying concealed
weapons acts in two ways. Law
abiding citizens, it is declared, will
ingly comply with its provisions.
Those unable to secure proper per-
mlts cease carrying revolvers. The
criminal on the other hand, already
law violator, ignores the law
which he accepts as q sort Of spe-
cial dispensation of Providence in
surfing the likelihood that he will
find his honest, law abiding, victim
unarmed. This has led the courts
to take the position that the "gun
toter" caught with the goods on
him, belongs TO the criminal class,
and should be dealt with as a crimi-
nal Of the more dangerous char
acter.
Dealers Report Required.
Criminals, it is said, are beginning
to recognize this attitude on the
! part of judges and invariably make
an effort to rid themselves of their
concealed weapons when arrest
| seems inevitable, unless they are
| led to make a gun play in a
final effort to escape.
| Dealers in firearms are required
by the police to make a report of
all sales made by them once every
thirty days. In this way, it is
said, a sort of check is kept on
owners of such weapons.
Sentiment against the sale Of dead
ly weapons capable 'of being car
ried concealed about the person is
declared to be growing in Wash
lngton. Those faVoring putting
such weapons under Nsales ban
insist that while it would not en-
tirely. check the buying of them it
would reduce the number pur-
chased 70 an almost negligible
quantity. Transmission of such
weapons through the mail and by
express into the District OF Co
Iumbia, 1t Is urged can be stopped
legally through q ConKressional
act prohibiting 1t.

CORN AND THE HORN
OF PLENTY

Corn occupies very important
place in the Northwest's horn OF
plenty. In fact, the name corn de-
rives from the Latin word for horn,
and when 1t is we'll cultivated 1t
spells plenty and prosperity. Min
neapolis has. 1t appears. stepped
into second place among the cash
corn markets of the Country and
at times crowds Chicago for first
place.
The extended and successful
raising Of corn in the Northwest
is a notable triumph for science
applied to agriculture. Over a
century Of experimentation and
study have developed the old In
dian maize into one Of the Nations
great crops. The climatic adapta-
bility OF corn has been greatly ex-
tended, so that 1t is now possible
to grow It much farther north than
could be done twenty-five years
ago.
Contrasting. in fact. has become
science. 1t has been amply dem
onstrated that the planting OF i'm
proved seed corn pays in p-oduc-
tivity. Larger returns are secured
from high quality seed corn with
the same effort and expense than
are yielded by ordinary and in
ferior grades.
In the past ten years the study
of samples. the selection OF seed
and the keeping Of records have
improved greatly not only the size
of the corn kernels but their hardi-
ness and adaptability as well. The
elimination OF barren stalks and
suckers, the we'll filled butts and
tips come from pedigreed strains.
much as improved livestock comes
from pedigreed animals. Great ad-
vance has been made in the stor-
ing OF corn, conservation Of soil
moisture and methods Of cultiva-
ton. Contrasting has thus be-
come a specialized science within
the general science Of agriculture.
It's new place in the horn OF plenty
is also a promising step toward
diversified agriculture. Corn and
stock go together.
The extended acreage of corn
growing and perfected methods OF
It's cultivation assure it perma-
nent and very important place

be the very thing which makes for
discord and death Of it. Il
THE whole truth of the matter is
that we expect too much Of mar
rage: marriage, which is usually
built upon a tissue Of lies. We are
not truthful with ourselves nor with
those We love and we expect from
all the foolishly acted and sense
iessly spoken untruth to bring forth
truth. -
I'VE might as we'll expect to bring
forth a healthy child from parents
with diseased bodies.
From marriage we expect sue
cession of thrills that will turn the
monotony of life into something Of
which we vaguely dream but never
realize.

most irresistible desire for once to
be myself with Jack, for once to tell
the truth as am telling it now. I
wonder what he would do if should

the whole thing; tell him about the
pearls; ask him about the baby; tell
him just what I have done and ask
him to tell me just what he has
done-I mean all those things which
neither Of US have told each other"
Il don't think he would UNDER

land, dear, 1 don't think you would
understand either. That is the only
thing that married people know
about married life. Each knows that
