URGE CONFERENCE TO
PROMOTE ECONOMY
REDUCTION OF TAXATION A
MEANS TO AID THE RECOV-
cry OF AGRICULTURE.

WASHINGTON, D. C-American
business as represented in the Cham
Der of Commerce Of the United States
urged President Coolidge today to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of calling a
conference of representatives of the
several states with view to promot-
ing economy in expenditures and re-
duction in taxation.
The suggestion was made as part
of a program submitted by the cham
Der as a means of aiding in the re-
covery of agriculture. 1t was present
ed by a special committee consisting
of Richard F. Grant, president of the
chamber; Julius H. Barnes, former
president, and Lewis E. Pierson, chair
man of the chambers executive COM
mittee.
Would Facilitate Legislation.
The administration has played a
great part in tax relief, the commit
tee said in a statement issued after
the conference with the president.
THE chamber hopes that the admin
istration will particularly consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of some form of contract
with the governors of each state that
they may facilitate legislation and ad-
ministrative action-state, county and
municipal-toward the utmost econo-
my, particularly of taxes which rest
on farm lands"
Some such conference has been in
Mr.. Coolidges mind for some time
and the recommendations made today
served to renew the thought being
given to it in official quarters. The
executive in a statement issued last
Tune when he signed the revenue bill
declared he thought it might be adj
visable to call a conference OF the tax
ing authorities of the states and the
treasury to consider some Comprehen-
sive plan OF division OF the field OF tax
alton between the states and the ted
eral government with elimination OF
overlapping taxes.
Congressional Leaders Approve.
Congressional leaders generally have
approved the suggestion made by Mr..
Coolidge in his annual and budget
messages for postponement OF tax leg
islation until the next session OF con-
gress. Such postponement would per
NIT the converting during the summer
OF a conference along the lines orig
inally suggested by Mr.. Coolidge and
advocated today by the chamber OF
commerce.

For eight or ten years the Bureau
OF Entomology has been attempting
to locate substances in the cotton
plant which cause the boil weevil to
feed on this plant and none other.
Progress has necessarily been slow,
saws B. R. Coad, OF the bureau OF en-
tomology of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in charge of the
boil weevil laboratory at Tallulah, La,
owing to the fact that the chemical
problems involved were very difficult
OF solution. About two years ago,
however, the department was tortu-

WASHINGTON, D. CA solu-

Senator George, democrat, OF Geor-

INVESTIGATIONS ON ATTRACTING THE COTTON BOIL WEEvL

that certain of them possess attractive
qualities apparently slightly superior
to those OF the cotton plant itself.
However, working out the correct di-
luton and the proper combination OF
these substances is very slow and
tedious process, and it is still entirely
too early to attempt to predict results;
in fact, it will apparently be at least
year more before any definite con-
illusions can be reached. Consequently
while more progress is being made in
investigation than has been the case in
the past there is still no definite as
surance that an attractant sufficiently
powerful to be OF commercial value
will be located, although the results
so lar are exceedingly hopeful.

"There's no fun in saving that way
"Nonsense!" replied Aunt Emmy
"It's good fun to see your interest
marked up on the book. But If you
want an interesting way to save I'll
tell you one. You and Maud do it
together. You put away cent for
each day of the month. Suppose you

right, then. you each put six cents
into q little box. Tomorrow you put
in seven cents and SO on up to the

I shall tell Maud tonight" Helen said.

Oil cake is by-product of the man

industry, manufacturers explained. If
export demand is strong, the by-pro-
duet is shipped abroad in cake form
If domestic demand predominates, the
cake is ground into meal and sold in
America Under normal conditions,
eastern manufacturers are able to sup

Women Are Told Finger
Prints Good Protection
FINGER PRINTS GREAT AIDS IN
LOCATING MISSING PERSONS
LECTURER SAYS


Every one should be finger printed
for his own protection, Captain Grant
Williams organizer of the Bureau of
Missing Persons, New York, told mem
bers of the Woman's club Tuesday
thousands of men and women killed
in accidents and other ways are sent
to the potters fields each year thru
out the United States who might have
been returned to their families had
this been done"
Ten members of the Woman's Club
submitted themselves to Captain Viii
liams yesterday for demonstration
in finger printing, which he declared
to be the only infallible system of
identification in existence
For more than an hour preceding
the demonstration, Captain Williams
entertained the women with stories
of the finding of missing persons
explaining the method employed
which rivalled the most thrilling de-
tectiye fiction.
Back of every missing boy or girl
there is romance or a tragedy of
some kind" he said.
Relates Number of Cases
Then he showed how out of few
meager details he would work to not
only restore the child to the parents
but also peace to the family circle
clearing up the trouble at home
Among Captain Williams stories
were those of Subway Lizzie" as she
was known in New York, who rode all
night for weeks on the subway from
they had heard her sad story of
lost pocket book" but who in reality
was afraid to go home because of a
drunken mother.
The girl said she came from Spirit
Lake, Iowa, hut was in reality a New
York girl unhsppy at home. She had
read of Spirit Lake in magazine,
but so had Captain Williams.
There were other human interest
stories including that of Lucinda who
had burglarized her mothers cabinet
to read the love letters she had writ
teneto her father.
Never Locks Up Child
The girl disappeared from home
and was gone for some time until the
parents in desperation appealed to
me- Captain Williams said. 1T was
all because of the fact that the
mother failed to realize that the girl
had taken her as her ideal and wished
to write the same kind of letters that
she did it"
Captain Williams in all his expert
ence with hundreds of runaway boys
and girls in New York never once
locked" one up
II always delegated one of my men
to take them out and show them New
York-in other words | entertained
them. And never once did it fail to
produce the desired result | gained
their confidence and they invariably
went back home and started right
again"
At a meeting of the social econom
les department. preceding the lecture,
Judge c. j. lockwood talked on La
Enforcement. Despite general belief
to the contrary. Judge lockwood de-
clared that the Volstead act was be-
ing rs per cent enforced He appealed
to the women to bring about closer
cooperation between those believing
in law enforcement of all kinds and
Reinforcement officials.

Parents Should Read This.

Editor Kinney of the Inland Empire
gives parents the following good advise
in the last issue of his paper:
One of the greatest crimes that
parents commit is in not encouraging
or even forcing, the children to learn
some trade or some profession, or
both. Any child that goes through
life without one of these is travelling
with an awful handicap. He is buffeted
about from place to place, from job to
job, getting the lowest wages at COM
mon labor, spending half of his time
working and the other half and all his
money hunting for the next job. In
stead of seeing to it that the child fits
himself for useful, contented and
successful life with trade or profess
sion, or both, many parents allow him
to do as he pleases, he too often pleases
to become professional loafer, floor
walker in a pool hail. or a tramp
tramping from one job to another, with
the usual accompaniment of few of
the virtues and all of the vices. Such
fellows pride themselves upon being
good judges of cigaretts and white
mule and their ability to "get by" with
minimum of labor. 1t takes no
brains to be cigarette fiend or white
mule addict, but If shows brains when
one qualities as useful citizen. These
remarks apply with about the same
force to girls. 1t takes no brains to be
cigarette-smoking, booze -guzzing,
husband-hunting flapper, but it shows
real ability to become a useful, wo-
manly woman. Toe many parents
think their responsibilities end when
the child becomes of school age, but
they have just begun and they never
end as long as both live.
