HAUGEN' BILL
is PUT AHEAD
IN THE SENATE
Measure Providing For Agri.
cultural Relief Is Given
Preferred Status
CALLED A MAKESHIFf

Washington, Feb. 25.-Undrr re-
arrangement of the Senate legisla
tive program for the remaining week
of the session Legislation embody-
ing the principal recomme ndation OF
the Pres ident Agricultural Com
mission, the Capper- Haugen cooper
alive marketing bill, has been given
preferred status on preparatory
list of less than 4 dozen measures.
Decision to place the cooperative
bill behind the general omnibus pen
sion measure, which has right OF
way after disposing Of the pending
banking legislation, was reached
yesterday by the Republican hearing
committee. The action was taken
after Senator Borah, Rep, Idaho,
who characterized the Capper- Hau-
gen bill as "makeshift,' had again
demanded an extra session of Con-
gress to consider u mprehensive
program of farm aid. The farm bill
was placed in the list where action
on the legislation by the house could
be awaited, leaders explained, with
the idea Of expediting final action
By substituting the house measure
for that pending in the Senate.
The Haugen bill was again before
the house today for action under 4
special rule adopted last week. When
the rivers and harbors authorization
bill, fourth on the Senate list, is
taken up, proponents of the Cape
Cod Canal Purchase Bill and the
Gooding long and short haul measure
will attempt to use it as Il vehicle fol

Other measures on the priority list
of the Senate include the deficiency

ment agency, and the naval omnibus

PROPOSE BIG CUT
 IN SWEDISH ARMY
Want Reduction Of Personnel as
 Means Of Economy

Stockholm, March 10.-Drastic reductions in the personnel of the Swedish army have been proposed by the government in liIe with 6 general policy of economy. While definite figures have not nacn made public it is regarded as probable that a bill reducing the army from six to four army corps will be in- troduccd in parliament some time during the coming session. This would result in the disappearance Of a number of historic regiments, some of them more than 800 years old. The navy, under present plans, will not be affected.
 The government plan is to cut down the number of infantry regi- ments fnom 30 to IS, and the ar 'illery regiments from six to three, Training for the infantry would be decreased from 255 days to 140 each year and for the artillery and other troops from 360 to 24G.
 The plan is based upon the theory that Sweden's military position is greatly better now than in 1914, and the fact that Sweden has no common frontier with Russia. Opponents Of the measure, however, point to the recent unsuccessful revolt at Reval. Esthonia, as a sign Of danger, and it is expected that warm debates will result when the measure comes up for consideration in Parliament.

EAT LITTLE AND
 GROW CHEERFUL
London Doctor Advocates Fast.
 ing as Aid to Health

London, Mar, 10-People through out the world would be able to keep their tempers and be endowed with better dispositions generally If they did not eat so much, in the opinion of Dr. Leonard Hill, an expert on dictetics who advocated fasting as an aid to health.
 The great virtue for most persons was in abstinence and even in fast ing, Dr. Hill told members of the Peoples League of Health at the Medical society here recently. It was fallacy, said the doctor, to be- lieve that it was possible to feed people into strength; what was more apt to happen was Arrangement of the digestive organs.
 Dr. Hill explained this had been proven by various experiments, in the laboratories of the medical re- on various diets. Given liberal amounts of food they became sleek, lazy and inert. Forced 10 fast for two days Il week they became very active,
 Dr. Hill said he was in favor of imposing a tax on white bread on the theory that whole wheat or whole grain bread was superior to the other kind, and because it would add 20 per cent 10 the national food supply of Great Britain. Much less meat should be eaten, the doctor asserted. The reason so much meat was being consumed everywhere was because it appealed especially to sedontary workers, as it gave them feeling of warmth.

SALE OF CORNCOBS
 SMALL IN LONDON
Appearance Of Product of Mis-
 SouTi Regarded as Freak

London, March 10.-The cheap est pipe on sale today in London the city which has perhaps two or three times as many pipe smokers as any other city in the world. is the old-fashioned corncob pipe from Missouri, which was given in ternational prominence by Mark Twain. The corncob pipe here re- tails at to cents each, but even at that can scarcely be considered as having made any noticeable in- roads upon th4 British pipe in
 In fact, 1t may be said that the corncob pipe is considered more Of a freak than anything else, and is bought chiefly by Americans, as a reminder of old corncob days back home, and by a few Britons who have lived at intervals in the west or middle west when corncobs were in their prime.
 Pipe dealers say here that the corncob will never become really popular in London, despite the low cost, because of the fact that 1t does not last any length Of time. The Englishmen ara always eager to try Q new pipe, say the dealers, but they prefer hardwood ones, and in buying new pipe they endeavor to get one which will last a year or two, or longer. Premier Baldwin, the best known pipe smoker that this country has produced, has smoked one pipe in particular, d. most daily, during the last seven or eight years.

 Prohibition sleuths have been spending a good 1eal of time for some months in the dining dancing halls and roofs of Washington. but under the federal law could arrest only the men they observed in pos session of intoxicants.
