Why
Creep
=
Strip your walls of curtains,
window glass, paint Move out
the davenport, monograph, mag
azines, telephone. Danish pepper,
salt, sugar and all but home pre-
pared foods from your pantry.
Go back to the flint for your fire,
the fields for your bread, the
sheep on the hills for your
clothes.
Without advertised products
your life would seem both hard
and drab. You would have little
comfort Or convenience; know
nothing of the means to- secure
them. Unhelrcd, your own in
genuities would tend to limit your
pace. You would progress by
limps instead of leaps. You
might not progress at all.
Advertisements sweep you on
to- enjoyments. Read them.
Know about advertised goods.
They give your life new ease

GERMANY's REPLY

Acceptance of Report Causes
Enthusiasm in Paris
SPEED SOLUTION URGED Fcl:I /.
American Delegate Praises Precise
ness Of Reich's Response
Differences On
Reply.
SPEED SOLUTION URGED FGlE

Paris. = The German Govern
ment has accepted the experts re-
ports as a practical basis for a
solution Of the reparation prob
lem. The reply of the German
Government was handed to the
Reparation Commission and there
was much enthusiasm at repara-
ton headquarters when it became
known that Germany would col
labOrate with the commission in
the settlement of this most diff
ticult problem ON the basis set
forth by the experts.
The text of the reply, which was
brief, follows:
"The German Government has the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
the note of the Reparation Commits
sion of April II concerning the experts
reports. The German Government con-
siders the reports offer a practical
basis for speedy solution of the
reparation problem. Therefore it de-
clares it's willingness to collaborate
in the execution of the experts plans"
One OF the American delegates, prom
inently engaged in the work of draw
ing up the reports, characterized the
German reply as "a precise answer to
the question the Reparation Commits
sion asked the German Government"
81 should not try to seek any hid
den meaning in it," he said 81 really
think the Germans are going to col
laborate earnestly and try to live up
to reasonable and practical arrange
ment."
France, Great Britain, Belgium and
Germany now have announced their.
acceptance of the experts reports and
Italy's acceptance is expected soon
Already there appears to be dis
tinction, If not a difference between
the Interpretation of the German reply
by the Reparation Commission and
the German delegation. The latter
says that acceptance means that ne
gotiations will be necessary in which
Germany will have an equal footing
with the others.
The British Prime Minister'S accept
ance is regarded here as virtually I'M
conditional. while Premier Poincares
reference to the report needing touch
ing up is held to be a forerunner of
various reservations.

Army Posts Without chapIains.

Two Maryland Army posts-Aber

are without chaplains, and another,
Camp Meade, had only one chaplain
for the 1910 men there, according to
officials of the Federal Council Of
Churches. OF the five general service
hospitals, three are without chaplains,
it was declared.
These statements were made by the
general committee on army and navy
chaplains of the council, which is urg-
ing the passage of a bill before Con-
gress to remove alleged discrimina
ton against ministers in the. two
branches of the service.
"At present there are Is large posts
with garrisons of 100 to 1924 men that
are without chaplains, said DR..
Charles Mcfarland, general secretary
of the council. Some of these posts,
like the Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
are 35 miles from the nearest large
city In addition. 1870 army posts like
Camp Meade have only one chaplain.

TO BAR TYPHOID
IN FLOOD AREAS
Epidemic at Woodmore of IL
Cases, With z Dead
INCUBATION is ORDERED
Vaccine Sent Throughout The state
Water And Air Left Soil
Infected.

Danger of general outbreak of
typhoid fever in and near the areas
affected by recent floods has led to
unusual precautions by the State
Health Department, it was an
nounced by DR.. John S. Fulton, secre-
tary OF the State Board of Health.
An epidemic of the disease was re-
ported recently at WOODWORK, Prince
Georges county. Twelve cases there,
two of them fatal, are causing the de-
partment concern.
/ For the first time in the history of
the department, DIR. Fulton said, re-
quests have been sent out in April
to all physicians in the State to in
oculate against the disease. Such
warnings previously have not been
sent out at this season, being reserved
until July. 4..'-, 't -
More typhoid vaccine has been
furnished the counties already than
was used during the whole of last
year, according to DIR. Robert H. Riley,
head of the bureau of communicable
diseases. Most of this is intended for
preventive incubation. DR.. Fulton
said:
1.-THE unusual floods have caused a
dangerous situation. Hog-pens, the
contents of cesspools and other in
sanitary matter were carried down by
the raging waters. Our sanitary Of
ficers say that the water and air have
caused a widespread but thin infection
of the top soil in wide areas about the
food districts"

Tax Board Row.

With members of the State Tax
Commission openly at loggerheads,
Governor Richie is expected to take
some action to prevent the possibility
of the workings of an important
State Office being impaired by dis
agreement among the component
officeholders.
For some time, it has been under
stood, there has not been the most
cordial feeling between ]. Enos Ray,
chairman of the Commission, and his
Democratic colleague, Jesse D. Price,
on the one hand, and the Republican
member of the Board, Oscar Lesser, on
the other.
Trouble has been precipitated and
brought to the public notice by the
recent attack by Mr.. Lesser on Charles
C. Wallace, retiring secretary of the
Tax Commission.
About the first of the year, Mr.. Wal
lace became an Assistant City Solici.
tor. AS the Tax Commission needed a
secretary and as none was apparently
availa BILE, Mr.. Wallace was willing to
continue to serve the Tax Board in
the emergency.
For some weeks it has been under
stood this situation has irritated Mr..
Lesser and the elimination came in his
demand that Mr.. Wallace should be
dropped from the State pay rolls.
1t is forecast the Democratic ma
jority membership of the Tax Com
mission will pass resolution exon
Grating Mr.. Wallace from all blame
and giving him vote of appreciation
for his services.
This resolution, if passed, will be
construed as reproof administered
to Mr.. Lesser by his two colleagues on
the board.

NAVY REPURIFlEs HELIuM.
Shenandoah's Lifting Power Increased
More Than Two Tons.

Observation-Disclosures over the
success of tests at the recently COM
pleted helium republication plant at
the Lakehurst IN. J) naval air sta
ton was expressed by Navy Depart
ment officials, who said that, as one
result of the experiments, the lifting
capacity of the dirigible Shenandoah
probably would be increased by more
than two tons.
The plant will be used to repurify
the gas contaminated during use in
lighter-than-air craft, and in the case
of the Shenandoah, it was pointed out,
when the gas was removed from it last
January and February it's purity had
fallen as low as 80 per cent, The tests,
it was added, showed that helium may
be repurified any number of times, and
that a given quantity has practically
no limit Of usefulness.

For the General Claims Commission

On the Special Claims Commission,
Mr.. Lansing will deal with charges
against the Mexican Government and
Mexico's charges against the United

The sum involved is variously esti-
mated as between four and six hun

The claims cover the period since
the overthrow of President DiaZ to
the establishment of a stable govern

IL years. During this time Ameri-

JAPANESE QUESTION sPENDs

Washington. Quotas under
which immigrants will be per-
mitted to come into the United
States from abroad were voted by
the Senate, when the House plan
of permitting 2 per cent. of each
nationality on the basis Of the
1890 census was adopted.
1t is estimated this will restrict the
annual immigration Of all races to
100000, which is about 10000 fewer
than entered during the last year.
Proposals voted down included per
cent. on the 1910 census, which would
have admitted 100000, and / per cent.
on the 1890 census, which would have
cut the immigration to 10000
After July l, 1926, the amount per-
mitted to enter in a single year will
be held to 10000, under another
amendment adopted in the BILL
Senators Lodge and Willis visited
the White House and discussed the
immigration bill with the President.
They declined to comment ON what
they learned as to the Presidents
views. az a.
Fixing the quotas involved the
Senate in an allday wrangle. First
the Senate voted down, 8 to 70, an
amendment by Senator Copeland of
New York to fix the Quotas at 8 per
cent. on the 1910 census, instead of
2 per cent.
Then it adopted an amendment by
Senator Willis to fix the quotas at l
per cent. on the 1910 census, the vote
being 81 to Is. This action was upset
by the adoption of an amendment by
Senator Pat. Harrison of Mississippi
to change to the 1890 census, which
was adopted, AZ to So. p
After this action was taken it be-
came necessary to rescind the adoption
of the iWillis amendment, and then an
other vote was taken ON fixing the
quotas at per cent, instead of /.
On this vote % voted for / per cent.
and Sc for 2 per cent
Senator Harrison, arguing for his
amendment, said it would give greater
representation to immigrants from
Northern and Western Europe. Immi-
grafton from Great Britain and Ire
land, for example, would be $1,000
under the quota of 1910, whereas I'M
der the 1890 census the number per-
mitted to enter would be increased
to $4,000.
Senator Colt opposed the amend
ment, arguing that it would discrimi-
nate against Southern and Eastern
Europe.
