In vogue. The report, which Gen.
|O'Ryan told the committee he believes
is most dependable, indicates that the
most up-to-date methods obtain there
and that the system is satisfactory.
Where minor changes In existing prac-
flee seemed to be desirable, they were
suggested on the spot and in almost
every instance were promptly adopted.
Confer ON Legislation.
Gen. Organ and his associate in
vestigators have had frequent con-
ferences with Director Hines in re-
lation to the further development OF
the work of the bureau, including
such matters as needed legislation,
adequate supervision of personnel
and accomplishment by an efficient
inspection service, a recasting Of the
headquarters Organization to expedite
action. improve morale, secure more
efficient personnel, etc. Numerous
formal and informal recommenda-
tions and suggestions have constant
ly been furnished to Director Hines
upon facts and circumstances coming
to his attention in the progress OF
the investigation. Many of these
have been adopted and others are
still under consideration.

Great waste still exists in relation
to disqualification, as is indicated by
the fact that about so per cent of the
beds provided by Veterans Bureau
hospitals are empty. while thousands

ment in contract hospitals. The re-
| suit is that II the latter patients

saving.

1T is not practicable to cancel in

of getting them out wherever the
circumstances warrant that action,
and OF transferring patients from
such hospitals to those of the Vet

The Senate committee feels that it
has been able to carry on a remark

very limited appropriation. It will
ask an additional appropriation va
riously estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000. dependent upon the duration
of the public hearings which are to

cost has been held down very ma
terially through work done for the

IN RESlDENI COOLIDGE, IN the opinion
- of Pennsylvania republicans, need not
4 apprehend that the neutral attitude
expressed by Senator Pepper and Sem
ator Reed of Pennsylvania on the presiden-
tial nomination initiates against his inter-
ests in his expected candidacy for the nomi-
nation. Indeed, the Presidents friends in
the Keystone state are disposed to hold that
the course being followed by the two sena-
tors rather will operate, in the final analysis,
to his advantage.
This view is induced by the considera-
tion that their present policy of being nom
committal to any candidate-openly-wil
tend to secure uninstructed delegation
from Pennsylvania to the republican national
convention, the desire of the senator's and
President Coolidge's we'll wshers in Penn
sylvania. 1t is thought by Pennsylvania re-
publicans of both the regular" and the
Pinchot factions that had the senator's de-
clared downright for the Presidents nom-
nation the aggressive and fiery Gov.
Pinchot would have instantly taken up the
gage of battle thus thrown down and have
started a contest for instructed delega-N
ton. Pennsylvania republicans would have
been thrown into factional fight months
ahead of the time when the inevitable con-
test is expected to come on.
X X X *
For, whether Gov. Pinchot really intends
to be candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation or not, it is believed by Pennsylvania
republicans that he will make an effort to
control the delegation. In the first place, it
is thought that he is intent upon securing
many delegates as possible in the person
mel of the delegation who can be counted
to stand fast for his progressive ideals, and,
if there comes contest over the nomina-
tion, to be ready to support progressive"
candidate.
Pennsylvania will have seventy eight
votes in the national convention, although
they cannot by any chance be all pro-
gressives, even if the governor should con-
troll majority of them, and the regulars
claim he will not be able to do that Any
how, he will have an important bloc of dele
gates at his command and be in position to
WELD great deal of influence in the con-
vention.

BY w. II. GEELEY.

Chief United States Forest Service.
| VERY one knows that Uncle
L. Sam Is the largest land owner
In the United States. But 1t
A-f may not be known generally
that our far-sighted uncle is quietly
adding to his millions OF broad acres
in the west by buying forest lands
in the mountain ranges Of the east
and that some OF his big woodlots
lie within 200 miles OF Washington.
II all came about under the Weeks
law, passed In 1911 and sponsored
by the present Secretary of War.
For ten years Congress had studied
and debated the creation of national
forests in the eastern states. While
! $4,000, 900 acres had been set aside
from the public domain west of the
Mississippi for growing timber and
protecting stream flow. the eastern
states were largely without national
forests. Yet these states contained
three -fourths Of our population and
used three-fourths of our total cut
of forest products. The threat OF a
timber shortage already doomed on
the horizon. The flood problem on
the Ohio, the Tennessee and other
I eastern rivers had become acute.
Congress decided to make the ma
tional forest policy truly national in
scope.
Most of the lawyers held that the
only constitutional ground for buy
ing forests is to protect the nav
liability of streams. So the law
directed that areas be purchased at
the sources of navigable rivers. At
the same time the lands acquired
were to afford the people of the east
all the benefits OF national forests.
They were to grow timber and har-
vest 1t under methods of cutting that
insure a perpetual forest growth.
They were to protect spots Of special
scenic beauty. They were to foster
local agriculture and wood-using in
dustries. They were to afford ,op-
portunities for recreation by the gen.
eral public. The national forest
reservation commission, comprising
three members of the cabinet and
four members of Congress. was made
the board OF directors of the enter
prise. and the forest service was
designated as general manager. We
took off our coats and went to work.
Millions Of Acres Bought.
About two and quarter millions Of
acres of forest land have been ac-
quired under this program. 1t lies in
nineteen areas strewn over the most
rugged mountains In the eastern
states. One of them comprises the
White Mountain national forest OF
New Hampshire and Maine, lying
| mainly on the watersheds Of the Con-
necticut river, the great artery of
New England, and the Merrimac.

Herbert Hoover's recent assertion
that discovery and invention are
no longer the function of the garret
genius is borne out by the facts of
modern industry, according to the
American Chemical Society, which
has assembled data showing national
enrichment through organized re-
search.
Sugar, water. supply. bread making,
x-rays, electric lighting, waste ma
terial, and artificial silk are spheres
in which research has earned huge
dividends, it is declared.
"The life of locomotive boilers has
been heightened sevenfold, and the coal
|, consumed in operation reduced by
many millions of tons per year
through the application of research
to water supply on our railroads."
says the society In a summary of
American achievement in research.
"The life of q locomotive fire box
costing $1,700 on a certain bad water
was two years. After treating the
water properly to prevent corrosion,
the steel lasted fourteen years, max
ing saving of more than 500 per
locomotive per year.
Waste Reduces Waste.
Waste utilized to prevent other
wastes is often the result of re-
search. Ten tons more cane an acre,
equivalent to one ton raw sugar and
SO to 40 per cent less labor in the
field, has followed the use of a paper
made from waste cane bagasse in
the cane field of Hawaii to prevent
the growth of weeds.
"Organized and continuous research
on the lighting problem has produced
types of lamps with which this coun-
try's lighting bill in a single year
is one and a half billion dollars less
than the cost of the same amount of
light IL the best lamps available less
than twenty years ago had been
used. This represents a saving.

stresemann Wants Accord.
Chancellor Stresemann. knowing the
peculiar political conditions that haz-
ard continued tenure of his present
high position, is striving to reach an
accord with the French at the earliest
possible moment. He, however, has
named conditions which he desires
accepted in capitulation. in order to
stave off internal chaos. Within the
past ten days he transmitted to Pre-
mier Poincare the following general
scheme OF adjusting reparations:
1. France must remove all restric-
tions now hampering normal eco
nomic activities in the occupied re-
gions, particularly where trade be-
tween the occupied and unoccupied
sections of Germany is concerned
2. Restoration to Germany of COM
plete authority over, the railways.
posts and telegraph system of the
Ruhr.
8. Restoration of complete German
Jurisdiction over the civil administra-
tion of the Ruhr.
While these conditions are being
fulfilled by France in three success
sive stages, Germany accepts the
military occupation of the Ruhr.
With completion of arrangements for
a mortgage on share of German in
dustry, the military evacuation must
begin, however, accompanied by the
return of all the expelled Ruhr off,
cials, workmen and inhabitants, and
the liberation of all the Germans SEN
fenced to jail terms during the occu-
patton.
If France agrees to follow these
suggestions Germany is ready to call
off passive resistance Immediately,
and so satisfy the demands of French
prestige.
Econcmic Proposals.
The German economic proposals are
intended to serve as guaranty for
|reparations payments. These are re-
ported to be:
1. Grant by Germany to the allies
cent of its total value on all German
state property.
2. Issue of new shares by certain
leading German industries to the
amount of rs per cent of their orig
inal capital; these shares to be placed
at the disposal of the German govern
ment, which, in turn. will hand them
over to a specially created reparations
bank.
3-The reparations bank to issue
shares to the amount of 1000. 600, 900
gold marks, which will be turned
over to the reparation commission.
4-Proceeds from the mortgage on
stae-owned property, as well as the
entire income from the mortgage on
private industry, to be diverted en-

COUNTY OFFICERS
IN OPEN BATTLE
OVER ORPHANAGE
Two Commissioners Fall to
Attend Meeting to Dis
CusS Plans.

The three cornered battle among
the board Of county commissioners,
the county council and Leo K. Fesler,
county auditor, as to who shall die
tate the terms on which the much
discussed county colored orphans'
home, to cost '$150,000, shall be built,
developed into an open split this aft
ernoon.
Two of the three county commits
sioners, John KItley and Albert Hoff-
man, president of the, board, said they
could not attend joint meeting at
2:30 in their office. ,Kitley is head or
the Acton Masonic Lodge, which had
initiation, and Hoffman pleaded bust
ness. Harry Tutewiler, third mem
Der, attended.
The council, which holds the purse
strings, has refused to appropriate
the money unless 1t has a hand in
naming the architect and letting the
contract, It was said.
Refusal to attend the meeting to
get the home under way was nothing
but side-stepping duty by the commits
sioners, councilmen asserted. II the
place is not built, it will be due to
contrariness OF the commissioners,
they said.
Commissioners said they would or

sion every week from now on" until
the money was appropriated, and that
IL it were not, the lack of home
would be laid at the councils feet by

DESPITE EFFORT
FOR INJUNCTION
Row in Gypsy Smith Body
Continues in Face of
Peace Move.

Final arrangements for a picnic
by the "Gipsy Smith Choir" in Gar
field Park at 3 p. m. were completed
by the Joe Overmeyer faction, despite
efforts by the opposing faction to pre-
vent the outing under the name OF
Gypsy Smith Choir"
AS announced by Overmeyer, who
in his notice of the picnic. styles him
self director" there will be a pro.
gram by the choir in the municipal
theater.
Attorneys for the faction headed by
E. Howard Cadle vainly sought an
injunction to prevent use of the choir
name The case will be heard in Sep
TENDER in Superior Court.
Despite the fact that Overmeyer
and four or five others incorporated
as the choir, they are not the choir,
Attorneys Orbison and Zechiel said.
They are handling the injunction suit
for the Cadle faction.
Efforts to pour spiritual oil on the
disturbed waters following prayer
meeting in the Cadle Tabernacle Fri
day night by singing He Loves
Everybody, He Loves Me" were use
less, and the row continued today.
