IS AGAINST BIC
LEAGUE NATIONS
Changes His Opinion Follow
ing Recent Visit Abroad
Gives His Reasons.

CHICAGO, Sep.. 81. United
States Senator Oscar w. Underwood,
Alabama's candidate for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination, Is
no longer a strong advocate of the
League of Nations, according to an
interview in the Tribune.
Senator Underwood said
MY original views are well
known. However, on my trip
abroad | saw the League of Nations
at work. Developments then and
subsequently have changed my atti-
,tude. Failure of the League TO
function in the dispute between
Italy and Greece had most to do
with my change of sentiment
Senator Underwood said the
League of Nations will not be an
issue in the coming campaign.

struct their happiness. No one TOW argues against the necessity for mar riage laws which will make 1t im- possible for the immature and unfit to marry and reproduce.
 Everyone is satisfied that these laws must be uniform. Hence the time for action has come. And be- cause men have dilly-dallied about it, and because. too. the integrity of the family is woman's quest, upon the women of the country must be laid the business of bringing about re- form.
 But legislation will not usher in an era of wisely planned marriages. The real hope of the world lies in put ting as much painstaking and pro- gressive thought into the great busi- ness of mating as we do into the oth- CT big businesses of our day. and in bringing to bear upon marriage ad- yanced ideas of science, religion and law, so that we shall be able to offer to young men and women sensible presentation of the subject that will convince them of the necessity of per manent family relations and assure them of the happiness to be found in n wholesome, family life.
 "Lnification of marriage and di- vorce laws Is only partial solution of the problem. There must be early training for marriage and parenthood, and this cannot be provided for by law"

 ROBBERS, FIGHTS GAMELY
Pair of Highwaymen Chase Manufac- tllrer a Mile-One Leaps on
 Car, Is Knocked or

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-Two auto mobile robbers, disguised as state po- licemen, attempted to hold up Ernest du Pont, president of the United States F'lashless Powder Company, of Wilmington, Del, on the Baltimore Pike near Media, at 1 o'clock yester- day morning.
 MT. du Pont escaped after he had flung one of the robbers from the running board of his automobile. The highwaymen fired two shots at du Fonts car, one striking the tonneau.
 Shortly after he had driven through Media, MT. du Pont saw man standing in the middle of Baltimore Pike. He fourished revolver.
 Realizing he was confronted by a highwayman, MT. du Pont put on speed. The robber 1eaped into an automobile standing in the darkness, with a companion at the wheel. The robbers car set out after the du Pont machine at terrifis speed. A mile down the road the robbers came alongside MT. Du Pont and tried to crowd him into the ditch. As MT. Du Pont slowed down to avoid crash, one of the highwaymen leaped to the road, jumped on the running thrust a revolver in MT. Du Fonts face.
 Before he could fire MT. Du Pont struck the man in the face, topping him into the road.

OPPOSE EXTREME
 RAILROAD PLANS
Business Interests Mobilize to
 Curb Radicals

Washington, D. C., Aug. 11.-Amer- ican business interests that sense the danger of radical attacks on the rail- road systems of the country when the new Congress convenes are mobilizing to be in position to stem at the outset any revolutionary program launched by the extremists.
 The railroads are pivotal point of attack already marked out by the radicals.
 The Chamber of Commerce of the Unieted States which is only the clear ing house for business views and busi- ness interests of the nation, is setting up special committee on transporta- tion which will be composed of trans portation which will be composed of transportation experts and some of the leading railroad men of the coun- try.
 It is expected the committee will be- gin work in September to prepare data for the use of congress once the railroad question comes up. as is in evitable. The idea is to make an ex- haustive survey and appraisal of vari-z ous policies proposed for submission to committees of the Senate and House that will deal with the railroad situation. In addition the committee would be a clearing house for up to date information on the various sys- tems and keep the public informed of the attitude of business toward sug gestions made.
 The committee will take up the study of rail- water and motor trans portation with the aim of reaching some concrete formula that will elim- mate unnecessary waste and overlap ping of agencies and coordinate transportation into single system by eliminating conflict It is the first definite move on the part of business to meet the threatened attacks of the radicals

BETTER HIGHWAYS TO
 ABSORB S28S,O00,OOO
1923 Figures Compiled by The Bureau of Good Roads of the Depart
 ment of Agriculture

Washington, Aug. II. - The 1923 road construction season is expected to add many hundreds of miles to the country's system of improved high ways Figures compiled by the bu- reau of good roads of the department of agriculture from 21 scattered states show they will have available s2SS, 100000 for this purpose, com pared to s273,OoO,O0o spent by them last year. On federal aid work, which constitutes something like one-half the total mileage, there was under March 31 work estimated to cost s258,000,o00, as compared with s233, 100000 on the same date a year ago.
 The general outlook is regarded as considerably better than a year ago, when the railroads and coal strikes were disturbing factors. The designa- ton of federal aid highways is now completed in S3 states, and is almost complete in the others. Thirty states now tax gasoline, as compared with only four at the beginning of 1921, and most of this revenue goes for road purposes.
