Jay alkers

OF jay walkers and jay jumpers
wear neither lights nor bumpers, and
they're always in the road. Down
the village street l travel in my
creaking old sedan, kicking up some
dust and gravel with good will for
every man. All the rules I am OBJ
serving, making signals left and
right, winding, lodging, twisting,
curving, to avoid some reckless
wight. There are thoughtless chill
dren playing, and my foot is on the
brake, and my costly horn is bray
ing till the we'll known echoes wake
I ann never taking chances, and l
never go it blind; as my pea-green
bus advances all the rules are borne
in mind. But the walkers walk un-
needing of all bylaws ever framed.
and when they are bumped and
bleeding it's the motorist who's
blamed. At the skies they stare and
, rubber as they amble through the
town, and they break a useful snub-
Der on the car that runs them down.
They are skipping, willy-nilly, where
the densest traffic swings, and the
bus that knocks them silly has a
broken pair of springs. They are
rushing. in panic, where the great
est dangers are, and it takes a
skilled mechanic seven weeks to fix
the car. All the roasts of bitter
takers hit the driver of the vain;
and the walkers, oh, the walkers
they are always safe and sane.

DEBTS BILL NEEDS
BUT STROKE OF PEN
Treasury Officials Already
Drafting Indentures to Ex-
change With England.
DATE NOT MADE KNOWN
When Agreement for Adjustment
of $4,e0o,00O,OOO Obligation
Is Effective Uncertain.
DATE NOT MADE KNOWN

ONLY the signature of President
Harding is now required to permit
the Treasury to exchange formal set
tlement agreements on the British
debt funding arrangement. Congress
sional action was completed when the
House late yesterday accepted, with
out modification, Senate changes in
the British settlement bill.
AS a result of the congressional ap-
proval and with the signature of the
President assumed to be certain,
Treasury officials began the drafting
of the indentures which are to be ex-
changed between the United States
and Great Britain and which will put
into operation the program for re-
funding over sixty-two years the
British wartime debt of $4,6OO,00O,-
600.
The indentures will embody the
terms accepted by the British govern
ment and prescribe the methods OF
payment, all of which were tenta-
lively worked out between the two
debt-funding commissions in their re-
cent negotiations. British internal
bonds covering the amount of the
debt will be deposited with the
United States Treasury.
Date Yet Uncertain.
Undersecretary Gilbert of the Treas
ury was unable to state last night
the date on which the agreement will
go into operation. A series of con-
ferences is being held between Off
cials of the Treasury and A. Rowe
Dutton, the British treasury repre-
sentative, who remained here after
his commissions work was concluded,
and these conferences will determine
the final form of the contractual
agreement which will put into legal
form the terms agreed upon in the
negotiations. The British government
probably will be represented by Sir
Auckland Geddes, its ambassador
here, in formally signing the docu-
ment which puts the funding plan
into operation.
Decision as to the denomination of
the bonds which this government will
hold has been held in allegiance until
it can be determined what sums will
best suit the convenience of the gov
ernment which is to pay them. Treas
ury officials, however, declare that
several of them will be the bonds of
the largest denomination ever pro-
duced.

BRITAIN |SASKED
TO AID RUM BAN
New Representations Made
by U. S. on Friendly Lines
Relating to Smuggling.

New representations on the subject
Of rum smuggling have been made by
the State Department to the British
government. which is requested in
friendly terms to Cooperate in pre-
venting vessels flying the British
fag from engaging in liquor traffic
between American and foreign ports.
Among the subjects taken up was
the question Of canceling the British
registry OF rum vessels which are
found to be actually controlled by
American interests. The British am
bassador here also was asked to use
his good offices to obtain an agree
ment between the United States and
Canada by which the Dominion au-
thoritles would stop issuing clearance
papers to vessels with liquor cargoes
designated TO the United States
Still other important measures to
safeguard against liquor smuggling
are under discussion between the
British government and the State De-
partment, but pending conclusion of
the negotiations the department is
withholding any official statement.

IN LUMBER RATES

general readjustment OF railroad
rates ON sash. doors and other items
CT milled lumber house trimmings
was ordered yesterday by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, on the ground
that present rates on these lumber
products are unduly prejudicial to
manufacturing plants in Wisconsin,
Iowa and Illinois, and unduly prefer
entail to similar mills on the Pacific
coast.
Railroads were ordered to estab-
lish new schedules by July 16 The
rates to be altered will be those ap-
plying from the producing point TO
consuming territory located east of
Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
In general the railroads were or
dered to reduce rates on mill work
from the Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin
mills, to bring them more nearly
equal to existing rates on unfinished
lumber between the same points At
the same time the commission held
that the rates from the Pacific coast
producing points to the same eastern
territory would be unlawful after the
date given unless increased by
amounts designed to equalize the S.
