STATE OFFICIAL
DEALS FARMERS
SEVERE SETBACK
Herds VIII Not Get Test
Now, Is Edict

Farmers with INFESTED herds were
dealt most severe blow by the deci-
sion Of S. j. Stannard, state director
of agriculture. His order to all
county agents in charge of cattle in
spection makes it impossible for the
dairy farmers to have their herds
tested. AS long as their herds are
not tested, it is impossible for their
milk to enter Chicago.
Must Wait Semi-Annual Test.
The state director Of agriculture
has decreed that all of the county
agents from April 1 on would have
to arrange their program so that
their activities would be confined to
retesting and semi-annual testing
work"
This means that none Of the 100,-
900 cattle waiting to be tested would
be given the test before the next
semi-annual test period.
A $1,0OO.OOO financing scheme for
purchase Of healthy cows by large
Chicago milk dealers and Illinois
farmers is now under consideration
as a solution for the milk tangle.
Farmers now prohibited to market
their milk in Chicago because of un-
tested herds would sell all of these
cows and purchase new herds from
tested areas under the plan.
Injunction proceedings against DR..
Herman Bundesen, Chicago health
commissioner, who barred milk from
INFESTED cows, have been postponed
several days by the circuit court at
Geneva on the request of Bundesen's
attorneys.

RESERVATIONS BY
SENATE To WORLD
COURT IRRITATE
Heads of League of Ma
tons Oppose Acceptance
tspeoIaI 70 The oaIIy wOrksrl


WASHINGTON, April Z Amer
icas actual entry into the world court
receded still further into the dim and
misty future today as a result of semi
official adVices which have reached
Washington to the effect that the
league Of nations is not going to &C.
cept the reservations which the senate
made condition of American adher
ence.
If these advices are confirmed by
subsequent development, and the feel.
ing prevails here that they will be,
it means that the senate's vote last
January q for American adherence
is reduced to an empty gesture. 1t is
a situation that has the irreconcil.
ables in the senate literally chortling.
The reservation at which the league
is baking is the latter section of the
fifth, which prohibits the court from
ever rendering an advisory opinion
concerning a question in which "the
United States claims an interest
without the consent of this govern
ment. Inasmuch as the rendering of
advisory opinions is one of the chief
functions of the court as it is now
constituted, this proviso is reported
to be considered by the Geneva states
men as tantamount to hamstringing
the leagues relationship with the
tribunal. Strictly applied, it might
conceivably operate to prevent the
courts rendering any advisory opinion
whatsoever, for the interests" of the
United States have become worldwide
since the war;
Disliked Reservation.
The governing heads of the league
viewed this reservation with suspicion
and misgiving from the first. Their
dislike of it was intensified upon ex-
animation of the language Of the sec
ton, and resulted in the dispatch of
instructions to league members to Gin
dictate their opposition to it." At the
same time, the league sent a special
invitation to Washington to come to
Geneva and talk it over.
To Reject Invitation.
The leagues instructions to its
members to indicate their opposi-
ton" to the reservation, and the col
lateral invitation to the United States
to come to Geneva to discuss the mat
ter, aroused keen resentment in
Washington.
A note was in the final stages of
preparation at the state department
today rejecting the invitation. 1t will
go forward this week.
For isolation Policy?
The frank expectation in Washing.
ton is that the refusal of the United
States to send delegation to Geneva
will intensity the leagues opposition
to the senate's reservations, and that
the statesmen at Geneva will see to
it that at least one member nation
refuses to accept them. One refusal
out of the As nations now adhering to
the tribunal is sufficient to prevent
Americas entrance.
Chances for the senate to amend or
abolish the disputed reservation are
considered virtually nil.

Threaten Union Station
Nth Injunction

The Chicago Federation Of Labor
Intends to open its radio station
VIGIL at the Municipal Pier before
May I, according to a statement made
by one Of the committee that is in

Allow Use Of Pier.
The Chicago city council passed a
resolution allowing the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor to use the two tow
ers on the Municipal Pier, for their
radio. Mayor Dever is expected to
sign this measure.
Threaten Injunction
The capitalist press in Chicago is
alarmed over the prospect Of the radio
station. They fear its influence on
the millions of unorganized workers
in the Chicago district. Many of them
in reporting the news of the city coun-
Gil granting the Chicago Federation of
Labor the use OF the Municipal Pier in
innate their desire for some tax payer
to procure an injunction forbidding
the labor unions the use Of the pier.
The Chicago Federation of Labor is
determined to maintain a radio sta
ton regardless of what opposition
there may be and is determined to
broadcast in spite of any Injunction.
Hoover Refuses Wave Length.
The first opposition met with by
the organized workers in Chicago was
the procuring Of a wave length. Sec
rotary of Commerce Herbert Hoover,
who represents the big business in
terests in the United States, refused
to give the Chicago Federation of La
Dor a wave length. His argument was
that there were too many stations in
the Chicago district.
Hoover has issued permits to every
one of the big corporations that have
applied for permits He has not re-
fused them. When the trade unions
seek to go on the air he Immediately
refuses to allow them the use of the
ether.
The Chicago Federation of Labor is
now carrying on an intense drive in

an attempt to raise. funds for the
construction or purchase and main
tenance of the radio station.

ion calling on the unions to assess
each member 81 to pay for the broad
casting station.
The committee in charge of the ra-
do has chosen a sat which operates
on 500 watts and will be heard 300
miles in the daytime and 500 miles
at night. The Chicago Federation of
Labor expects to do its broadcasting
between the hours of IL to 2 in the
afternoon and to s in the evenings.
Typos Give $4,000.
One of the first unions to subscribe
to this radio fund was typographical
Union No. Is which voted to give
$4,000 toward the purchase of the
radio station. Other unions are fol-
lowing suit. It is expected that a

White Gold

What is it? Lots of folks are asking this question.
 We will take this opportunity to explain to you what is white gold.
 Some people have the idea it's silver over gold. Others believe the retiners melt it so that the color is white. Still more people want to know if it comes from the mine In that color
 Pure gold comes from the mines and in it's virgin state 1t is called 24-karat gold. This Is never made into money until an alloy is added to harden it and give wearing qual- ity. Otherwise it would be soft; wear out easily.
 Pure gold coming from the mines is yelloWish, but by adding alloys it can be given almost any color de- sired. Add a copper alloy and you have a red tingo on your gold. Copper is rcd, you know. Mix 8 brass alloy and, brass being yellow, you get yellow gold. Put in a nickel or silver alloy, stir well. and you have white gold. And so on; add one alloy, get one color; add another, get another color.
 You should not form the opinion that white gold is silvercd from this explanation. T. Is no more sll- vercd than United States gold coin ig "coppered," stil they add an all Joy in making good money.
 White gold win never turn in color any more than any other gold and when we say that we mean quality.

We are perfectly frank in saying that manufacturers extend us credit, It is a NECESSITY in business today and every store takes advantage of it regard less of how they sell to you WHEN THEY DON'T ITS USUALLY BECAUSE THE SHERIFF HAS PACKED A SIGN ON THE DOOR. We pass credit on to you because we think you are entitled to it,

Sterling SilOer

Every now and then you see the word sterling" in a jewelry adver- tisement, The Georges store uses it, but not very often. We usually say solid,
 We mean solid when we say sterl- ing. An article must be all silver to be stamped sterling" and any manufacturer who does otherwise usually runs a-foul of the law. It is as much a mark Of quality as Phoenix on mems hose.
 There is no plating on an article marked sterling" Jewellers would do veil, so far as the public is con- cerned. tc stick to the old-fashioncd expression of solid" Of course, every man to his own views.
 Only recently the International Silver Co.,, biggest makers of table silver in the world, creators of the famous "IS47" Rogers Tableware, conducted a campaign to educate tho public that sterling means solid. The expression wrought from solid silver" was in the copy.
 It is the aim and desire of the Georges store 10 make these things plain 10 women who shop in this store. We are always eager and willing to answer questions. We do not falsely represent merchandise and il never will be tolerated so long as thu store operates under the present management.
 We believe that the public ap- prcciatos frankness. We would rather lose a sale on any piece of merchandise by being frank about the quality than lose a customer through misreprcsentaiion.

Some hints to the young folks from one who speaks with authority on the subject, "LOve":
 It is not leap year-sleep year.
 But make the most of oppor- tunity, girls.
 Every young man should carry a Georges Diamond in his vest pocket.
 Good lockers are looking right now.
 Girls who look around and make comparisons get the best bargains.
 Don't "sit tight" if you want to "sit pretty"
 Get the Ring or you may get the gate.
 If he talks waiting" till times get normal, girls, start looking elsewhere. He may get normal himself.
 Anyway, it's cheaper to set tie down than to stay single and keep settling up." And tie the knot with a Georges Wedding Ring. Not seam, not a divorce in a thousand. You may not get another chance soon.
 See me before you see the parsOn.
 And say it with flowers, but do it with Jewelry.
 And step lively!

land for that reason our firm is particularly anxious to see that each purchaser gets a Quality Diamond.'
 To ,he average buyer the se- lection of Diamond is like buying real estate in Siberia. He buys it sight unseen.
 We have an ironclad rule here never to misrepresent our merchandise. If we say a Dia- mond is perfect, blue white, 50 many points, our customers have come to know that we mean it and that we are ready to back up any assertion we make on Diamond as we'll IS any other merchandise.
 I am in business in New Britain because 1 believe it Is a good city to do business in My home is here and my money is here; that's why l am most particular that as near as possible all the gamble in buying a Diamond is taken out of the purchase of a stone from B. Georges.
