ADAMS REFUSES TO SOFT PEDAL HIS ENM|TY TO COURT
Republican Administration And Political Opposition
 Still At Outs
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-IERALD , Washington D. C.. ,Juue Is |

Although President Harding and John T. Adams, chairman of the re- publican national committee have conferred amicably, it is said, the ad- ministration and the political organi- zation are still at outs.
 Chairman Adams yielded to the President, it is claimed. on the ques- tion involving the right of repub- lican women to become actual mem bers of the, committee. but refused to soft pedal respecting his opposi- ton to the world court proposal of the President. It is understood that Adams Is now conferring with po- litical leaders of New England for the purpose of acquiring proof that those leaders are still "unalterably" opposed to "entangling alliances" His conferences will eventually be extended so as to include leaders in western states.
 Adams is aided and abetted in his opposition to the program of tho President and Secretary Hughes by Senator George H. Moses. chairman of the senatorial campaign commit tee, and Representative William R. Wood, chairman of the congressional campaign committee.
 Republicans In Hole.
 The attitude of democrats in giv- ing women equal representation on their national committee put the re- publicans in hole" Republican women, when they first urged their rights, were, to a certain number made adjuncts of the executive com mittee. They were appointed by Chairman Adams and by him could be removed.
 Republican women grumbled. The chairman of the democratic commit tee, Cordell Hull of Tennessee, as- sailed the republicans for their mis- treatment of women, and republican women became openly belligerent They insisted that they be elected

DR. ELLIOTT ACCORDED
 PLAUDITS OF GREEKS
Hellenics Grateful For Assistance
 Of Americans

PARIS, June 16.-Gratitude by the Greeks for the big, philanthropie things the American peopleN are do- ing for that refugee-ridden country continues to find earnest expression. Every Am eriCan who comes to Paris from Athens speaks of the modest devotion of the American relief workers there, still engaged in by the people of each state just as wor'en are elected members of the democratic committee. Chairman Adams named d sub committee to consider the proposition, and the de- mand of the women was pigeon holed. They carried their case to the President. and the President sent for Adams It was later announced that a plan was in process of development whereas republican women would be given a voice in party affairs equal to that exercised by men.
 o o Q
 Play For Woman Vote.
 It is evident that both parties in tend to play for the woman vote. The last election, however, indicated that women are like men; that is, vote without considering effort made by party or individual in their be- half. The overwhelming ma jority by which Harding defeated the demo- cratic nominee proved that women supported the republican ticket. Yet 1t was the action of Tennessee, the legislature of which state was called in extraordinary session by a demo cratic governor, which made ratifi- cation of the nineteenth amendment possible prior to the presidential election of 1920.
 According to the democratic com mittee, women, as buyers for the l n of the Fordney- McCumber act and how that instrument has increased the cost of living, and will vote for the democratic candidate next year. It Is possible, it is said here, that rumor to that same effect, reaching the President and Chairman Adams, inclined their hearts to give re- publican woman voice on the ma = tional committee of that party.

McCauley of that company had agreed
to make it right with the witness IL
the second award was made.
Learning that Forbes was in Phila-
delphia, Mortimer said he went there
and met Forbes in the lobby of the
Fairmont Park Hotel. The director
promised to make the award as re-
Quested, he said. and added that sub

Mortimer said that in regard to one
contract Forbes had told him that

Durum Wheats Are
Spring Varieties
Differ in Adaptation and
Yielding Ability and Re-
sistance to Drought.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
There are twelve varieties of durum
wheat commercially grown In the
United States. They differ In their
adaptation and yielding ability, resist
ance to drought and rust, and In the
quality Of their grain, as well as in
their appearance. They are all de-
scribed by j. Allen Clark and John ii.
Martin Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture in Farmers Bull
letin 1904, "The Durum Wheat" just
published.
The durum wheats are all spring va
rieties with thick, compact heads, long
stiff boards and large hard kernels.
They are grown principally in the
northern Great Plains area, where they
are best adapted because of their re
sistance to drought and rust, which en-
ables them to outyield other. spring
wheats. During the past ten years the
center of the durum acreage has
moved northward and westward.
Used for Granular Flour.
Most Of the durum varieties have
white (amber) kernels, and the grain
Is used chiefly for the manufacture Of
a granular flour called semolina, from
which macaroni, spaghetti and other
alimentary pastes are made. There
usually has been an active foreign de-
mand for this wheat, but the flour
mills in this country were not equipped
for satisfactorily grinding these wheats
and there was little demand for the
product on the domestic market. More
recently, however. large mills have
been constructed for grinding durum
wheat exclusively. A considerable
trade in semolina and durum -four has
developed, and finally a large maca-
roni industry has been established.
The industry now uses annually more
than 20,OO0,O00 bushels Of durum, or
nearly half the average annual pro-
duction in recent years.
kubanka Is High Yielding.
Kubanka is the variety best adapt
ed for all the varying conditions in
the sections producing durum wheat.
1t is a high-yielding wheat, consider
ably resistant to rust, of good milling
quality, and best adapted for making
both macaroni and bread.
Acme and Monad are two similar
durum varieties which are very re-
sistant to stem rust. Acme is the high
est yielding durum variety in most Of
South Dakota, and Monad the best
yielding variety in North Dakota. Both
produce macaroni Of a grayish color
considered by manufacturers less sal
able than that made from Kubanka
wheat. Mindum is the most produc-
tive variety in Minnesota.
The distinguishing characteristic
and the adaptation of the twelve diff
ferent varieties are discussed In the
bulletin, which may be had free Of

partment Of Agriculture, Washington,
