EFFICIENT LABOR
BIG FACTOR
IN PROSPERITY

B. International Labor News Service
Washington, b. =, Nov. l5.-That
sound management and efficient use
Of labor pay dividends in farming, as
well as in industrial enterprise, Is
emphasized in a report on a study Of
100 farms in Clinton county, Ind,
made b. the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Conclusions drawn from the study
Indicate that the spread Of scientific
knowledge Of farming can do much
for the agricultural regions Of the
nation. As national prosperity is
largely dependent upon agricultural
prosperity, economists point out that
efficient farming is of Importance 70
every class Of the population, assur-
ing 1 steady buying power and stabil-
ling business and employment.
The Department of Agriculture
found from its study Of Indian farms
that efficient use Of man labor and
horse labor was an important factor
in the successful operations of farms.
The study also revealed that farmers
who maintain more nearly uniform
cropping systems from year to year
were more successful than those
whose systems varied most. Heavily
stocked farms, under good manage
ment, were more successful than those
lightly stocked.
Farms heavily stocked with hogs
were found to be usually more sue
cessful than those on which other
classes of stock predominated. The
study indicated that the production of
dairy products, poultry and eggs on
all farms and of beef cattle on the
larger farms should be encouraged
along with the raising of hogs when
represent the principal money crop
Of the district.
To produce incomes to support ade-
quately the families living on the
smaller farms calls for increased pro-
duction, according to the Federal in
vestigators making the study. Crop
yields per acre and livestock receipts
per animal were important factors.
The farms which were above the aver
age for the locality in both these mat
tiers were seldom unsuccessful, while
those below the average in both were
found seldom successful.

DOHENY LOAN TO
FALL SHROUDED
IN SECRECY

Los Angeles Calf, Nov. 22.-
Fraud, conspiracy and illegality were
asserted by the government to have
constituted the background out of
which Edward l.. Doheny and Albert
b. Fall, secretary of the interior in
1922, evolved the California naval oil
leases to the Doheny interests.
st was Doheny's master mind that
controlled everything on behalf Of
his company" the government attor-
neys told the federal court.
In connection with the deal, the
prosecution said, the evidence shows
that Fall got 100000 from Doheny
in an alleged loan, and that Doheny
got pronerty which, Doheny himself
calculated, would yield his company
500, 100000.
Fall dealt with Doheny in a way
so lavish as never before known in
public history, the government at
tornegs declared. Secretary of the
Navy DENLY was declared to be a
rubber stamp" in the transaction.
Referring to the 100000 which
Doheny lent Fall, the prosecution in
sisted that whatever the motive be-
hind it, the lending of the money
placed Fall in Doheny's power at a
time when Doheny, as business man,
was dealing with Fall as a govern
ment official for contracts and leases
of a public nature.
ut has been said that this was a
loan. Then why the secrecy?" the
government attorneys asked. The
cash was delivered by Doheny's own
son, and "in two weeks that note was
torn the purpose of which, accord
ing to the prosecution, twas obviously
to relieve Fall from obligation to pay
this note" To sustain this position,
the government pointed out, there
was no record of this note in Mr..
| Doheny's books

How can The Review become a bet
ter paper? The operating expense
does not warrant employing repor-
ter. 1t therefore rests upon the
heads of the various crafts to either
send in the news 10 The Review office,
or to appoint some one in each of the
crafts who will be responsible in this
regard.
The Review should have news each
week of the activities Of Organized
Labor. This could easily be sent in
by telephone. Generally there is a
demand in the ranks Of Labor for
such news, most OF which escapes the
daily press. 1t can be had in the
columns of The Review if Federation
leaders are sufficiently interested 20
send in their reports.
The Review would like to have a
personal column. We are contemplat-
ing starting one in the near future,
1t will deal with events happening IN
the families of Labor men, though it
will not be wholly confined to them.
Items of news value will be digest
ed in short paragraphs pointing out
phases of such events as occur during
the week in the light of Labor;
opinion.
The Review will appreciate any
suggestions pertaining to its policy
aud methods of improvement. Sent
in your suggestions or bring them t
the office.

Il Is a well known fact that no
other Twin City paper is just TO the
cause of Labor. What the editors Of
other papers published in the Twin
Cities should be expected to concede
to Labor in their columns is altogeth-
er a personal matter. Labor cannot
demand and obtain much publicity Of
me kind that is most advantageous
10 the organization.
This sort of publicity the daily pa
pers call propaganda. And this form
Of reading matter is cast into the
waste basket, in large quantities every
day. Not only does the reading matter
to Union Labor suffer, but
that of all other organizations. Even
the church suffers neglect in the daily
press.
The only possible way to insure the
publication Of matter of special in
terest to an organization Of the type
Of the Twin City Federation Of Labor
is to preserve The Review from the
inevitable disaster which awaits it II
it is not accorded a proper support
and endorsement of the men who
should be its friends.

This is reading age. 1t is not an
age of public speaking. This was
demonstrated at the last election when
practically every campaign speaker
addressed empty benches.
The same is largely true of the
pulpit. A minister must be exception
ally able to draw a crowd. There was
a time when public opinion was
moulded by the ministry. Particularly
was this true on religious and moral
questions.
Now public opinion has largely de
serted the clergy. 1t has turned tC
the press and devotes many hours t.
the perusal of newspapers and maya
zines.

THREE ARE HELD
IN OHIO RUM
PLOT
Federal Officials Seek Two
Others in Alcohol Smug-
Cling Scheme.
By International News Service.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. a.
With David J. Hyman. of Cleye-
land, and two Philadelphia men at
liberty under bond today, Federal
officials were seeking three others
in connection with an alleged gigan-
tic liquor conspiracy said to have
for its object the flooding of
northern Ohio with Scotch whigkey
and grain alcohol, smuggled to
ports on the Atlantic coast from
the Bahama Islands and thence
taken inland.
Warrants have been issued for,
but not yet served upon. Joseph
Clark, Edward Doyle and Michael
Kane, all of Philadelphia; Martin
and Jack Mills, of Philadelphia,
charged with completely, testified
for the Government at a hearing
before a United States commissioner
late yesterday.
Hyman, it was testified, had
leased space in the rear Of his tire
shop for the storage of the liquor,
and had promised that the rum
runners would be immune from ar
rest here inasmuch as he had been
sworn in as a deputy sheriff. Fol
lowing the hearing yesterday his
badge was taken from him by
Sheriff Charles S. Stannard.

GIBSON IS SAID
To De PAYING
DEBTS
Former Washington Society
Man Reported Hearing
"StiIl, Small Voice"
wen-known

Preston Gibson, well-known
Washington society man, author
and marital adventurer, Is in the
papers again, on account of his
conscience.
His 'still, small voice" began to
worry him recently, while he was
throwing snowballs with the rest
of the fashionable thrOng at St.
Moritz.
He remembered that several
years ago he persuaded a New
York hotel clerk to cash a check Of
800 for him. The bank returned
the check to the clerk with a mo
funds note.
Through the following years, dur
ing which the clerk made restitu-
ton to his employers for the
amount, Gibson was flirting with
page one for one reason or another.
The clerk had quite lost faith in
human nature. He thought as lit
tie of Gibson as possible. But a
few days ago, the clerk gulpcd
with amazement, on receiving $1OO
from. Gubson's New York agent.
And that's not all. That New
York agent is pattering over the
sidewalks of New York with all
due speed, settling up his boss
obligations, which .are monumental.
Society wants to know why.

Frederick Roscher, Noted Art
ist, Explains Pale Gray Faces
of Some Beauties.
POPE PIUX TX

Ladies' should never powder
their faces evenings, If they wish
to look better, but they may do so
in daytime"
This advise comes from no less
an authority than Frederick
Roscher an artist of interna tional
fame who was given a title by the
late Pope Benedict, in recognition
of his great painting of that
pontiff, and who at present is
putting the finishing touches on a
painting of the present Pope Plus
TX, showing him seated on his
throne.
While comparatively newcomer
in this city Mr.. Roscher who is
not quite thirty. already has
painted the pictures of many OF
Washington's best known men and
women, which he showed at his
studio on the third floor of 1912
G street northwest, yesterday to a
critical assembly Of artists and art
lovers.
In explaining the effects of color
rays Mr.. Roscher pointed at the
large painting Of a beautiful re.
clining nude. the model for which
was a Roman princess and SAID.
Breaks Color Rays.
Ladies' should never powder
their faces when they go out even.
ings. Artificial light, like electric.
candle or gas has the effect .cf
making the powdered faces look
gray.
"The powder breaks up the color
rays of the skin, and the artificial
light falling on the particles of
powder causes the latter to cast
shadows making it grayish look
ing"
The artist said that mirrors do
not tell the truth, because he de-
clared they reflect with q blush
tint (which, however, is not
noticed by the animated. You may
look alright in the looking glass,
but the electric light tells a differ
ent story"
There was some comfort in the
remark made by Mr.. Roscher that
daylight Is more kindly inclined to
powdered faces, inasmuch as then
it retains it's original color and does
not reflect in gray.
Some NOtables Painted.
Among the portraits In Mr..
Roscher's collection are those OF
Senator and Mrs. Kendrick, Nancy
Lee and Sonny" the children OF
Mr.. and Mrs. N. H. Luttrell: Miss
Barbara Stanfield, daughter OF
Senator Stanfield, and Mrs. Fred
Britten. There are two excellent
copies Of celebrated italian pictures
Sacred and Profane Love" by
Titan, the original Of which Is in
the, Villa Borghese and "The Con.
cert" by Giorgione, in Florence.
The sensational and very beauti.
full painting of the nude, life size
the model for which was the
Roman princess, was much
admired.

find raw materials or power to carry

are laid deeply enough there will be
few, if any, industries which will
have to lay down their work because
their activities are so non-essential

cause they have been neglected in
