ASK MD To
PUNISH SWEET
MEASURE
Men Also Favor Vocational
Training for Widows
and Orphans.

The Disabled American Veterans
today made a plea before the House
Interstate Commerce Committee to
speed the passage of the Sweet bill
to liberalize the Veterans Bureau
act and which has rested In commit
tee since last April.
H. H. Raege, legislative represent
alive Of the national organization Of
manned former service men, covered
most of the features of the Sweet
measure, stressing the matter of
making patients eligible for insur-
ance payments after they have been
in the hospital for one year and urg-
ing that action be taken to relieve
20, 900 mental cases who are roam
ing the streets declared eligible for
vocational training but rated as not
feasible at this time.
There are now six different classi-
fications of Governmental physi-
clans assigned to the Veterans Btu
reau and the Disabled American
Veterans want the director author
pized to form q medical corps OF the
bureau in the matter of more au-
thority al: greater efficiency. Mr..
Raege urged tNat additional bene-
fits be extended aass agricultural
trainess after comps ting their
course by making smaif iOc-~ to
acquire land on which to follow the
new occupation. He contended that
under the present regulations a
man who has been declared per-
manent1y and totally disabled is
penalized for his own efforts by
having his compensation reduced
when it is shown that he is succeed
ing in a new occupation of his own
choice. He asked that this be made
impossible by an amendment in the
bill now being considered.
The Disabled American Veterans
also went on record as favoring
vocational training for the widows
and orphans of the men killed in
action and asked that all men with
a 10 per cent disability tracible to
service be extended training with
maintance pay.
Capt. G. Hamilton Cook, national
commander of the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans is expected to appear
before the committee tomorrow.

Tells Chinese
To PUNISH
SEAYERS
U. S. Lodges Formal Demand
in Case Of American Mer-
chant CoItman.

Dissatisfied with the retibutive
measures taken by the Chinese gov
eminent in the killing OF William
Coltman, an American merchant,
nearly three months ago, the Amer
lean Government has lodged for
NAL demand with Pekin that sterner
action be taken, it was learned here
today.
CoItman was killed by Chinese sen
tries on December IL while in the
company of an American consul
near Kalgan. The Tuchun Of the
province had issued an order against
taking silver out of the province,
and Coltman was shot while at
tempting to leave the province for
Mongolia.
The American Government takes
the position that the Tuchun OF the
province should be punished for per-
hitting his sentries to fire upon an
American citizen and an American
consul when they clearly were with
in their rights in leaving the prov
ince with their property.

Friends of Senator Say Foes
Seek to Discredit Him
With President.

Resurrection of a letter sent by
Mrs. Miles Poindexter to the So
ciety editor of a Spokane, Wash,
newspaper during the Christmas
holidays in which she stamps
members of Congress as "block-
heads" has been made at the be-
hest of political foes of the Sena-
tor who desire to discredit him
with President Harding.
See Plot of Foes.
This charge, made by supporters
of the defeated Senator from Wash
ington, is being banded about to-
day as an aftermath of the recent
reprintings Of her latest article.
Returning to Washington after a
visit to Annapolis, Mrs. Poindexter
was astounded when she sensed
the scope of the furore which has
followed the Eastern publicity given
the article. She said that she had
been writing to the society editor
Of this paper for twelve years and
that some of her letters had con.
tanned even more candid obserya-
tions than the ones which have
been reprinted.
This fact, it is pointed out, sub.
stimulates the belief that this pub
icity will be used as a wedge
to destroy Senator Poindexters
chances Of either being made Sec
rotary of the Interior or ambassa-
dor to Peru

Mrs. Poindexter indicated today
that the letters viii cease going for.
ward, in all probability, for a time
at least. She professed herself
weary of standing at the telephone
all day making explanations" or
receiving hundreds of callers and
having her routine interfered with"
She expressed amusement at the
inference that her comments might
be termed ''Margotesque." MRS.
Asquith, has a sharp tongue" Mrs.
Poindixter said. MY remarks were
written as the wife of any Senator
might write to her home paper for
home consumption. They attracted
no criticism in Spokane, so why
should any one here be able to find
in them controversial matter?'

Famed Artist Tells
Women OF Beauty
In Dress
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-There
was cheer today for the fat
women and the thin women who
want to be dressed stylishly yet
comfortably.
Soft, fluffy materials will
solve their problems, M. Leon
Bakst, Russian artist, said in the
course Of his lecture on the cart
Of Dress"
A soft yelling of gauze for
the large woman will obliterate
harsh outlines, he said. Vertical
stripes on a dress make for an
appearance of slenderness, while
horizontal ones give an effect
of roundness, he added. Models
demonstrated his theories.
The Russian was diplomatic
in discussing the corset. It's use
must be left to the dictates Of
fashion. he said.
