Mainland Betterments Made.
Many of the small towns along the

the impetus of new blood and new

booms, sometimes to the extent or
1000 per cent.
Towns of small import have taken
themselves seriously and dolled up
with water and sewer service, chalked
stations for autos on their streets,
paved their streets and found the re-
turns so satisfactory that they have
literally made hundreds and thou

Senate Judiciary
FavOrably Reports
Warren Nomination

Washington, Feb. 24.-The senate
judiciary committee ordered a IA
yorable report today on the nomina-
ton of Charles B. Warren, of Michi-
gan, to be attorney general, but ad-
ministration leaders said tonight that
because of the congested legislative
calendar they again were undecided
whether they would press Tor con-
firmation at this session.
The vote in the committee was
nine to five, with seven Republicans
and two Democrats casting their bal
lots in favor of report to the SER
ate and three Democrats and two
Republicans voting against a favor
able report.
One senator withheld his vote and
another was absent.
Reiterating their expressions OF
confidence that Mr.. Warren's NOM
ination would be confirmed by the
senate, leaders pointed to the vote IN
the committee as indicative OF the
extent to which opposition to the
nomination has diminished. Here
tofore the committee had been
equally divided on the subject. and
this counted in part for the failure
to press for vote earlier.
Senators Borah, Idaho, and Nor
ris. Nebraska, were the Republicans
opposing a favorable report in COM
mittee, and Senator Overman, North
Carolina, and Shields. Tennessee,
were the Democrats voting for Mr..
Warren. The Democrats in opposi-
ton were Senators Ashurst of Ari-
IONA: Reed of Missouri; and Walsh
of Montana.
These Republicans supported the
nominations: Cummins, Iowa; Ster-
ling, South Dakota; Ernst, Kentucky;
Shortridge, California; Spencer,
Missouri; Butler, Massachusetts: and
Means, Colorado.
Senator Butler is to have charge Of
the nomination on the floor OF the
