FLAVOR Is the all-important point
in food. In oats it IS probably
more important than in any other.
That is why people who once taste
the toasty richness of Quaker Oats
are spoiled thereafter for all others.
Quaker favor is unique, toasty and
delightful. No other oats offers il
to you. Some so years were spent
perfecting it.
Quaker milling, too, retains much
of the bulk" of oats. And that makes
laxatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and this
''bulk'' are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats an excellently balanced
ration.

the league council had been to use its
good offices in expediting the entry of
the United States into the World
Court.
The immediate reaction here has
been, however, to renew the charges
that by such entry the United States
cannot avoid being drawn into inti-
mate relations with the League Of Ma
tions and European affairs.
Arms Farley Date Surprise.
The action of the league council in
setting May II as the date for the pre-
liminary arms conference, to which
the United States has accepted an in
vitatton, has come also as a surprise.
1t had been expected that the pre-
liminary conference would be post
poned until after September.
There is still some skeptcism here
that the meeting of the preliminary
commission will finally draw up the
agenda for the conference proper. The
thought was advanced that objection
to final action on the agenda will be
raised by some members of the confer
ence until after the admission Of Ger
many to the league, and that the COM
mission will then make plans for a
postponed meeting after Germany has
been admitted.
Plans for the participation of the
American delegation at the prelim-
mary arms conference will now go
forward rapidly. it is expected. The
President has still to name formally
the American delegation. Hugh s.
Gibson and A. w. Dulless, it is ex-
pected. will represent the State De-
partment; Brig. Gen. II. A. Smith

SENATOR CAPPER WILL INQUIRE
INTO INCREASE In WATER RATES
Head of Senate District Committee Seeks Cause of
Proposed 25 Per Cent Rase-Engineer Holds
:...... More Funds Unnecessary.

Senator Capper. chairman of the
District legislative committee. an
nounced today that he plans to in
quire into the proposal for an in
| crease of 25 per cent in the price of
water in Washington to determine
whether 1t is warranted.
The Senator said he had read of
the action Of the House in placing a
proviso in the District appropriation
| bill for such an increase in the water
rate, and that while he is not IA
miliar enough with the question to
express an opinion at this time. he
said. he intedns to study the proposal
carefully.
BY virtue of his position on the
legislative committee, Senator Capper

Would Relieve Revenues.
The aim in seeking to increase the
price of water is TO require the pri-
vate consumers to bear the entire
cost of maintenance of the supply
system, with none of the cost charged
to the general revenues of the city.
Another factor in the situation Is
that the Federal Government uses
about IS per cent of the daily con-
sumption of water without paying
Tor it.
Asa r.. Phillips. former sanitary en-
Sineer of the District, protested the
proposed increase in a radio speech
broadcast last night by station
N'MAL. the washington Radio
Forum
The present fiat rate of $500 year
is not only sufficient to pay all eX
rAnSeS of the water supply system,
Mr.. Phillips declared. but furnishes a
substantial surplus annually for new
capital in plant investment. The raise
in rates, he added. will bring 81 SOC, 600
into the Golfers of the District when
the money is not needed to operate
the water plant.
Water Not Luxury"
"A pure and abundant water supply
is not q luXury-it is a necessity" P"
said Mr.. Phillips. 1t should be fur
nished to all at the bare cost of pro-
duction. Every encouragement should
be given to its universal and liberal
use. Never should the tax gatherer's S
hand stay its use.
Here the citizens of the Capital pay
a water bill of more than 81 1.000,0 a
year. That is not free water. This
great sum which you pay for water
not only pays every expense of bring
ing water from Great Falls, f1ltering

U. S. NOT CONSULTED.
No Confirmation Of Report Council
Sounded Washington.

GENEVA, Switzerland. March 10
R).-The impression prevailing in
League of Nations circles yesterday
that the Washington Government had
been sounded before the league coun-
Gil voted to convoke a conference to
discuss the American reservations to
World Court membership lacked con-
firmation today.
1t seems clear that the league secre-
tariat did not communicate the coun-
cil's idea to the American Govern
ment. 1t is explained that this was
mainly because of lack of time, as the
British delegation decided to bring the
matter before the council at the last
moment and there was no opportuni-
ty for consultation.
1t is remarked that as Secretary Of
State Kellogg had officially brought
the court problem to the attention Of
the league by his recent communica-
ton to the secretary-general. the Brit
ish delegation felt justified in having
the council consider the question In
