men say he's slender now, though
he is a big fellow weighing
around the 2O0-mark. Where he
was slow ON his dogs, too slow
for McGraw, he steps around a
bit faster now. Hooked up with
rather slow team, anyway,
Boone looks as fast as his team
mates.
Boone is a lefthanded hitter
with a free and easy stance at
the platter. Ed Rommel says it
is impossible to throw a ball
past him. He reaches out for the
low ones and up for the high ones.
A change of pace might get him
off balance, but right now the
pitchers with a really good change
Of pace are not quite in shape to
show at their best. The result
is Boone is slamming the onion
safely about once in every two
trips to the plate.
"They tell me he kills a fast
ball" grinned Bucky Harris, "but
maybe he hasn't yet looked at
any real speed. When he gets
to Washington he'll have his OPP

around on Johnson, then I'll adj
NIT he can hit any fast pitcher,
for Walter is in wonderful shape

and Johnson ought to be worth

DRUG LABELLING BILL

House Subcommittee Chairman An
nounces New Measure Will
Be Considered.

The Copeland -Rathbone bill for
labelling serums, toxins, etc, is dead
in its present form. This was en-
phasized today at the hearing before
the subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict committee, of which Representa-
tive Clarence J. Mcleod of Michigan
is chairman. Both proponents and op-
Iponents of this legislation agreed that
the bill should be rewritten
Chairman Mcleod will lay before
the subcommittee at it's next hearing
"a week from today IAN entirely new
bill on the subject, drafted in CON
formity with amendments most OF
which were suggested by nr. Mccoy
of the public health service, who is
head of the meteorological laboratory.
and which were generally agreed to
by all the interested parties at the
hearing. 7-.
DR.. Mccoy said that the bill in its
present form would limit the med
ical profession and probably would
do more harm than the present sit
uation. ,-
Representative Rathbone, who is
fathertnS the bill in the House, re-
piled that all he wants is to afford
proper protection. Similar statements
were made by those who opposed the
legislation and by those who are in
favor of it. Both sides said they
would do all they could to assist in
bettering conditions in safeguarding
the use of serums and the practices

Senators Tell President of
Serious Condition of Banks
in Northwest.

y group OF western senators called
on President Coolidge today and
urged a more liberal policy on the
part Of the federal government in eX-
tending loans to the small country
banks in the northwest which are in
u serious condition because of the
failure OH the part of so many wheat
growers to meet their obligations.

this conference.
The President was told that the or
ganization of the private corporation
of $l0,O00,000 to extend relief in the
northwest will not bring all the relief
necessary to. these smaller banks. and
because of this the War Finance Cor
poration should in a much stronger way
back up the intermediate credit banks,
at least for the next three months, in
order that the coming production Pc
riod in hte northwest can be financed
properly.

1t is proposed that the War Finance
Corporation extend O credit of IS,
100000 each to the intermediate cred
it banks located in st. Paul, Spokane
and Wichita in order that they can
tide over the small banks in their
respective districts. The President
was told that besides the actual finan-
cial help this movement would have
q splendid effect because of the as
surance it would give the bankers
and. the ,agriculturiStS of the sections
in question that the federal govern
ment realizes the acuteness of the
