tify. under the transportation act. is
the next step. according to board off,
Gals. in the controversy over wages
and rules between the Western rail-

John Mcclure, general chairman on
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
road for the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. failed to appear to-

Chairman Ben w. Hooper then
asked Representatives Of the Western
managers if they had any further evil

that they would stand on the evidence
already in. The case then was taken
under advisement and the board ad-
journed.
That the court test will be made
was agreed on by Chairman Hooper,
Attorney Richberg and Attorney
Weymouth Kirkland, the latter desig-
mated by the Department of Justice to
represent the Labor Board. The next
move is expected to be made. in Fed
eral court.
The letters presented by Mr.. Rich
berg stated that the new subpoenaes
were rejected for the same reasons a.
the ones originally issued by the
board and that the second 80 called
subpoenaes" differed somewhat from
the first, but that the second ones
were objected to because they had the
same purposes and objectives as the
originals, on the grounds stated by
the United states Supreme Court to be
"the elementary rule that the sub
stance and not the shadow determine e 9
the validity of the exercise of the

Efforts are being made today by
lie Roy Mark. chairman OF the WASH
ington Hospital Radio Fund, to have
the victorious world flyers remain in
Washington over the week end SO
they may attend the concert Of the
combined Army, Navy and Marine
Bands at the American League Ball

requested officials of the War Depart
ment to permit the flyers to post

pected at the ball park may give
them reception.
A number Of requests for tickets
for the concert were received today

another from Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover. Four cabinet officers now
have purchased box seats for the con-
cert in addition to many other high
Government officials and ranking
Army and Navy officers. The entire
proceeds of the concert will be used
to purchase radio receiving apparatus
for every hospital. charitable institu-
tion and orphan asylum.
Prevented through" illness from at
tending the concert, a number of pa
tients in Washington hospitals have
contributed to the fund. Those who
made the contributions pointed out
that they knew from experience tho
need of the bedridden for entertain
ment. Although they do not expect
to be in the hospitals to enjoy the en-
tertainment to be provided by the ra-
dio sets purchased through the fund,
the patients said they wanted to con-.
tribute to the benefit OF the others to-
follow them.
Arrangements have been made by
the radio fund committee to have
nurses on duty in the hospitals to act

YREKA, Calf. September 1.-THE
Mount Shasta Glacier, disloged by the
long continued drought and warm
weather, has slipped from its ancient
resting place on the north side of the
mountain and is moving down the
slope at a rate Of five miles an hour,
swapping of big trees in it's path and
thrusting immense boulders before it..
The movement began a short time
after dawn and at noon the huge
mass of ice was we'll within the tim
ber line Huge clouds of vapor are
arising as the moraines of the glacier
are being broken up by its movement
and these clouds are forming one big
cloud over the head OF the moving
mass.
The journey Of the glacier can be
seen 20 miles away. 1t is accom-
panied by distinct roar which also
can be heard from a considerable dis
tance.
The glacier movement evidently Is
not related to the phenomenon Of a
heavy mud flow on the opposite side Of
the mountain recently. This flow is
believed to have started from other
ice deposits melting under many days
of hot sunshine.

Disarmament Conference Next
Year Now Forecast

By Cable to The star and Chicago Daily News
GENEVA, September 1.-THE French
have presented their comprehen
sive peace plan, and the British
have agreed in principle to the idea
of collective automatic sanctions
against signatory state which re-
fuses arbitration or an arbitral deci-
sion.
This British concession makes some
form of agreement on compulsory
arbitration and general security a
strong probability, though naturally
many difficulties remain. Such an
agreement would be followed within
a few months by great disarmament
conference, to which Russia, Ger
many and the United States would be
invited, for it is felt here that no dis
armament is possible without the CO.
operation of these three powers. or
at least Germany and the United
States.
Wants Germany in League.
Great Britain still hopes to per-
suade Germany to apply for league
membership and to get Germany IN
during the present session of the as
sembly. AS for the United States, il
Vill undoubtedly be invited to par
cipate in all stages of preparation
.or the projected disarmament con-
ference. Arbitration and security
protocols will doubtless be drafted in
such a way that their signature by
non-member states will be optional.
When these protocols are practically
completed the assembly will pre-
sumably pass a resolution asking the
council to prepare for a disarmament
conference.
The council will appoint a special
commission for this purpose to which
the United States will be invited to
sit just as it does on the leagues
opium commission. This commission,
after consulting all the governments
concerned, will arrange the agenda
and submit a report to the council,
which will then convene the confer
ence-perhaps some time next year.

Here and there we see a little
stack of rice straw in the field, and
now and then pass a tract of wild
land that gives us some idea of the
wonderful fertility of the soil. The
grass is as high as my head as I ride
through it on horseback, and I have
stood in the midst of it and seen the
tops wave in the breeze six feet
above my straw hat.
But what are they doing there on
the left side of the railway? There
are two men and four women hang
ing on to a bamboo pole held up by
bamboo stakes in the ground. They
are jumping up and down on the
rice straw that lies at their feet.
That is the human threshing machine
of Luzon. They are treading the
rice grains out with their weight.
The main crop is threshed when it
is cut. The little sheaves are brought
in and stacked up about the hut or
placed with their heads downward on
the ground inside an Enclosure to
dry. When thoroughly ripe, the
heads with the husks on them are
put into a mortar made by hollow
ing out a block of hardwood, and
then pounded with great wooden
pestles, thus threshing the rice from
the straw. The winnowing is done
by the wind. The rice is thrown up
into the air again and again and the
grains are caught in a tray.
Some of the larger farms now have
threshing machines, and on some
farms ponies and carabaos are driven

r REMEMBER well, some eighteen
months after the club started,
realizing how far already the move
ment had gone when I heard the head
of our greatest bank accost the presi-
dent of a railway, on st. James
street, with the words, "Hoot, mon!
It's a Draw morning the day"
In those days the public at large
was still innocent and ignorant. We
had not even heard the word "propa-
ganda." Otherwise we should have
seen under all this a dangerous or
ganized movement for the spread of
Presbyterianism and the sale of the
poetry of Robert Burns.
The original club Of which I speak
soon took further steps. They erected
q kind Of wooden structure on the
ground where they played. 1t was a
modest affair - merely two large
rooms, one a sitting-room, with easy
chairs. for talking about golf in, and
the other a rest or silence room for
thinking about golf in.
The ground on which they played
was supposedly public property. But
any attempt at ejectment was rem
dered out of the question by the fact
that they had enrolled among their
membership all the leaders of the bar
and all the senior judges. This last
point. indeed. went strongly in their
favor throughout.
A decision of the courts had 1t

/ the driving Of a golf ball except
straight piece of air 200 yards long.
One large club, 1 say, was estab-
lished. Yet even after 1t was dec
nitely in operation very few people
realized the way in which it was dis
turbing our civic life. 1t was no
ticed, indeed, that the schedule OF
trains of our greatest railway had
undergone marked changes. A great
number of suburban trains was IN
troduced and sharp discrimination
made against transcontinental and
other needless traffic. a branch line
was built in a convenient situation
to form a natural obstacle or bunker
for the golf course. But few people
| connected these changes with the
fact that the president of the rail-
way and the entire directorate were
members of the golf club.
A new stage OF development pres
emily appeared. There is a certain
kind of animal, SO biology teaches
US, which increases its numbers by
simply dividing itself in two. The
original animal is called, / think, an
amoeba- But the real type OF the
species is the golf club. If you put
one of them in the landscape and
leave it there for awhile you pres
emily come back and find two, and II
short period they presently turn into
four. Where the landscape is espe
cially favorable. where nature has
spread out her fertile land all ready
to make bunkers and her pure
streams all ready to mix with Scotch

more crowded. Each year the golf
area is bigger and bigger.
Nor is there any public protest.
Each year more and more men,
hitherto respectable, Godfearing
citizens, are being caught in the lure
Of it. Sometimes l think this lure
lies in pretending to be a Scotsman
there are 50 many things about the
Scotch that attract-their contempt
of rain, their peculiar nerve in wear
ing a hens feather in their hats, their
comprehensive ideas on damnation.
But, taking it as you will, the golf
club has become a grave national
menace.
In my own city we are, ! suppose.
beyond redemption. We have golf
tournaments, golf teas and golf din
ners. golf trains and golf cars and
golf motors. The use of the bagpipes
is everywhere tolerated and we eat
