ASKS DEPARTMENT
TO GOVERN MINES
0ddie Believes New Post in
Cabinet Would End Most
Coal Troubles.

The coal problem can be handled
successfully only through a single
federal agency, in the opinion of
Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Nevada,
chairman of the Senate committee on
mines and mining. and that agency
should be a department of mines,
with it's head a member of the cab
met.
The Senate committee held meet
ing Saturday to consider in preliminary
way the report of the United States Coal
Commission, which recently was re-
ferred to that committee by the SEN
ate. Following the meeting. Senator
Oddie issued a statement In which he
said:
Need of One Agency.
II believe that the many and COM
pick phases of the coal problem can
only be successfully and effectively
handled by single federal agency
or their supervision, and that such an
agency should be provided by the
creation of a department of mines,
with bureau therein exclusively de-
voted to coal. This would mean that
all the necessary machinery for in
vestigation and research. with au-
thority to act promptly in cases of
emergency, would be under a single
head, who would at all times have at
his disposal all the facts and statis-
tics upon which to make recommended
tions in case trouble should arise,
and to supply Congress and the Presi-
dent with all requisite information
as basis for legislation whenever
legislation Is necessary. In my opin-
ion such an arrangement would en-
ttrely do away with the frequently
recurring periods of paralysis in the
industry because of labor disputes
and other obstacles which have pre-
vented the smooth functioning of its
coal mining industry in this country
demonstrates very clearly to my mind
the utter futility of attempting to
insure an uninterrupted and salts
factory coal supply by depending
upon such scattered governmental
agencies as now exist.
Has Introduced Bill.
81 have introduced a bill for the
creation Of a department of mines,
which has been referred to this COM
mittee, and into which can be incor-
porated the provisions necessary for
adequately dealing with the problems
of production, transportation, mar
keting, storage and consumption in
connection with the coal mining in
dustry.
Another phase of the coal ques-
tion which in my opinion deserves
most careful consideration is that of
pure fuel. In the metal mining in
dustry processes have been in use for
many years which separate the pure
metal from the ore and other foreign
substances before the metal is mar
keted. The facilities to be provided
by the government for fuel study and
research will without doubt show
that similar processes can be deyel-
oped and practically applied to coal.
Efforts to effect economics in fuel
combustion have been made by the
larger users of coal in the industrial
field, but the great army of house
hold consumers of coal would greatly
benefit by the results to be obtained
through coal bureau in a depart
ment Of mines.
The citizens of our country have
right to expect as much assistance
from the government in the matter

GIRL FOOT BALL PLAYERS.

The foot ball team made up en-
tirely of girls at Sydney, Australia
has disbanded. The reason given is
that the girls could not agree among
themselves. They frankly admit that
too many of the members Of the team

and a secondary reason is hinted in
that the discipline imposed by the

UPSHAW MAKES LIQUOR
CHARGE AGAIN IN HOUSE
Georgia Member Declares Public
Men Are Patronizing Liquor
Law Violators.

The spotlight of beotlegging
rumers and charges which has been
hovering over Washington has shifted
declaration by Representative Up
shaw, democrat, of Georgia, on the
floor of the House that "bootleggers
ply their devilish trade among too
many public men in Washington"
With opportunity for reply by
House members to Representative
UpshRw's speech, In which he de-
clared he would turn over to enforce
ment authorities all evidence placed
in his hands Of liquor drinking by
government officials, including men,
bers of the Senate and House, cut
off by adjournment Immediately after
he concluded yesterday, this was the
next development expected today.
Because the House was not a "juStice
court" the Georgia representative said,
he would not make public names of
senator's and representatives who do
not practice the prohibition which their
votes profess" And he had not threat
ened this in his previous speech ON the
subject, he said, because he did not
brandish a sword" but made an ap-
peal"
Outside Of the membership of the Sem
ate and House, Representative Upshaw
declared, he had seen some of the
highest officials in Washington lifting
the devush bottle TO their lips" In the
he said, he would include the name OF
a high efheial (not q diplemat) who
retqrned from abroad some time age
with more than a score of cases of
foreign iiauor marked diplomatic"
Coming On the heels of assertions by
the local police authorities that they
had found indications that liquor con-
signed to some of the embassies and
legations was finding its way into the
Illicit traffic here, Representative Up
shaw declared In his speech the prob
lem of the use and abuse" of such
liquor importations was one that
calls for delicate but firm treat
msnt" He declared a. former attaehe
OF the State Department had sHg-
gested to him that q polite, forcefui
note" by the Secretary Of State on the
subject would cause ready and
universal respeHse' from all dipie-
matte eniees here Of willingness to aid
in enforcement of the law.

The marriage and divorce bill, drawn
up and proposed by one of their own
members, was the outstanding subject
of discussion today by the sixty
women holding their first board meet
ing in the new headquarters OF the
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
1874 n street northwest. Mrs. Ed
ward F. White OF Indianapolis, dep
uty attorney general of the state OF
Indiana, wrote this bill and made 1t
the principal feature Of her report
as chairman on legislation Of the club.
I'VE feel it is necessary that the
preliminary step Of a national amend
ment to the Constitution be put into
action as soon as possible" said Mrs.
White, for more than once attempts
to take this matter up with each
state and secure Identical legislation
have resulted in failure. The pro-
posed bill is a compromise between
the laws of states which have no
grounds for divorce and those that
have as high as fourteen, enumerat-
ing five grounds.
The members of the officers board
and state directors Of the federation
Endorsed Mrs. Whites bill, and also
indorsed the Keyes bill for extension

House and senate Topic.
The debt situation was discussed
Yesterday in both the Senate and House,
with increasing indications that efforts
would be made to amend the debt re-
funding law in many important parti-
cuIars. In the Senate discussion CEN
tered around the proposal of Senator
Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, that the

the House the direct issue was the
lfberalizing of the terms of the settles
ment by the debtor nations
Representative Burton, republican.
Ohio, a member of the American COM
mission, told the House that the Brit
ish debt commission had not asked for
any leeway beyond the 25-year maxi
mum period for payment and the Az
per cent minimum interest rate fixed
by Congress, but he gave notice that it
was entirely probable that some propo-
sition would come before Congress re-
garding the settlement of the British

port of an address delivered in New

dom must and would be given by Con-

Mr.. Garner contendedt that the only de-
duction was that Congress would be
called upon to yield its control over

Against Surrender OF Power.
Representative Longworth. repub-
lican. Ohio, declared that he stood
with Mr.. Garner on the point that
Congress should not surrender its
power to control eleven billions OF
dollars of the assets of the people.
Representative Mills, republican
New York, took a similar position,
while Representatives MondeH OF
wyoming, the republican leader; Bur-
ton, republican, Ohio, and Madden, re-
publican, Illinois, reiterated their op-
position to any remission of the debt
Mr.. Garner had contended that if all
restrictions were removed the Amer
lean commission could accept bonds
running for 1000 years and remit the
interest during that time, which would
amount to a virtual remission of the
entire debt.
Mr.. Mondeli and Mr.. Burton agreed
with Mr.. Fess that the commission
should be given wider latitude than

Bureau Director Addresses Ma

Advertising as an economic factor has
come to play vital part in the pros
perity and business growth of a nation
and economy TO the buyer. and without
it mass production and mass distribu-
ton, which play 80 large a part In CIV
ing products to the public cheapiy, would
be almost impossible, julius Klein. di-
rector Of the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce of the Commerce De-
partment. told members of the National
Advertising Commission of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the World
this morning at the second days session
Of their meeting being held at the Hotel
Washington.
Distribution Greatest Problem.
Distribution is the greatest prob
lem of the manufacturer" Mr.. Klein
said, "and advertisement is a vital
necessity in cutting the great costs of
distribution. AS an example, IT costs
as much to sell loaf of bread as 1t
does to raise the wheat and bake the
loaf. Advertising as an aid to distri-
button Is great factor In economy
to the ultimate consumer and as such
large as IL already ia to the pro-
ducers and distributors. The afro
cious proposition was recently advo-
Gated to avoid nationally advertised
goods as a means Of forcing the elini-
nation of unnecessary expense in pro-
duction.
"This fallaey. which stiI exists in
the minds OF many people, is not only
basicly unsound but harmful, because
goods could not be sold 80 cheaply
without advertising to help cut the
costs of distribution"
Mr.. Klein also told the advertising
men how the Department of Com
merce can aid materially both them
and manufacturers by keeping them
in continual touch with the economic
situation of the world and the buying
power in various sections.
Following the morning meeting the
m members of the commission called on

W. n. Bayless of Cleveland ad-
dressed a group OF local pastors on
the efficacy of church advertising.
Standardizing of phraseology used
in advertising, including the eIimina-
tien of comparative prices, with the
ultimate idea of shortening the route
between seller and buyer and increas-
ing public confidence was urged in
the report of the standards of prac-
tiee committee at the meeting yes
terday.
A new department of the commits
sion was created. that of industrial
advertisers, and a great advertising
show, international in scope, was
proposed to be held at some future
