REACH CRISIS IN
 BRAZIL FINANCE
Increase in Money Values Hurts
 Business Interests
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, July IP,

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil July s tP) -Brazil Is faced with an industrial crisis brought about by the increas- ing value Of it's money due largely 10 the governments policy Of de Tation bv withdrawing large amount Of paper from circulation.
 Many wholesalers and retailers have large stocks Of manufactured goods on hand which were bought abroad before the milreis had reached its present value. Some of them are compelled 10 unload their goods for fewer milreis than they paid for them.
 One of the largest banks here, the Bank Of Reoife. has suspended payments and filed a petition in bankruptcy which was granted. Assets are listed at more than s4.- 00o.o0o and liabilities at nearly that much. The monetary crisis is considered the principal cause of the failure and sugar crisis due to overproduction in the state Of Pernambuco a contributing cause.
 Bankers say they would be ap- prehensive if the milreis continued 10 rise in value as commodity sales have fallen off 50 per cent in the last nine months.
 President Bernardes in an effort to increase confidence has an nounced that the government will not force the milreis to the pro war rate.
 The chief sufferers seem 10 be the textile mills Of Sac Paulo as the high tariff is nuIlifed 10 a great extent and local manufacturers cannot compete with prices Of American and English made goods. The Amazon rubber trade is also affected because the price Of eE- ported raw rubber no longer re. turns enough 10 pay labor.

CONTROVERSY ON
 USE OF BATH TUBS
When and How Often English
 Bathe Being Argued

London, July LP-A newspaper controversy has arisen here on the subject Of when the people of Eng land first got the habit of taking 8 morning bath.
 Jerome K. Jerome, the novelist, started the controversy by stating in an article that there were no bath rooms in London home before 1S86 Elderly folk indignantly deny this and give dates to prove that when they were young English people took baths occasionally at least.
 One writer declares that in 1872 his family owned tub that had a lid and a strap on it and was used as a trunk when the family travelled. Another subsequently, from first hand knowledge-that there were no bathrooms in Windsor Castle in the time Of Queen Victoria and that King Edward had several in stalled upon his accession in 1901.
 It is also recalled that when the late Earl Of Dunraven returned from America in 1886 he brought with him an American tub and Punch published cartoon on Lord Dun- ranven's statement that "in Ameri-

DEBT PROTEST MAY
 NOW BE PERMITTED
Durald to Allow War Veterans to Publicly Demonstrate

Paris, July s. OP,-French veterans ot the World war today had as surance that NJ. Briand. minister Of the interior. would withdraw his prohibition against a proposed dem onstration Sunday in opposition 10 ratification of the American debt accord.
 The Association of American voI- unteers in the French army has agreed 10 share in the parade zainst which Ambassador Herrich had protested as an insult to the nitei States. The Americans said at meeting last night that participa- lion was not intended 10 place them on record either for or against rafi- fication. but merely 10 relieve the anti-Americau aspect of the demOn- stra'ion.
 Members of the American Legion residents in Paris probably will not be asked 10 join the parade as they are veterans Of the American miH- tary forces and might consider par ticipaton compromising.
 The possibility that the cabinet decree would he ni'hdrawn was based upon announcements that plans 10 hang crepe on the Ameri- can embassy and on statue Of George Washington had been modi- fled. Final details Of tho demon- stration program are 10 be arranged tomorrow.
 Part of the plan is for a delega- 'ion of the American volunteers 10 be stationed before inc Alan See2ar monument in the Place Des Etats tnis and receive a wreath from the French veterans association as l. marches past.

 One writer claims that Englishmen make q good deal Of noise about their morning tub" but that Ameri- can and Continental hotel men say it is little more than noise. He quotes the hotel record Of Zurich, Switzer- land to the effect that almost every American asks for a room with bath: 75 per cent of the French and 40 per cent of the Germans do so. but English even of the highest station seldom ask for a room with bath. They make use of the general bath room for shaving"

GERMAN RUM SHIP TONED INTO PORT
Cargo Worth S5,0o0,0o0 But
 Sailors Starving

New York, Nov. 23 R-A German barkentine, said to have $5,000,- 900 cargo of liquor, lay at anchor in New York harbor after a seizure 40 miles at sea.
 Coast guard officials refuse to dis close the reason for the seizure, but man who boarded the vessel said he believed the vessel was in dis tress for lack of food supplies and that Washington had ordered pro- visions sent out. He said the Ger mans were given their first square meal In several days when the coast guard destroyer Mccall put Q prize crew aboard Friday.
 The Carmen was brought into port Sunday night and the secrecy of her captors gave hise to fantastic ru- mors in the harbor. Then a gov- ernment agent revealed that she had 100000 cases of Scotch whisky aboard. Others said there were not only Scotch whisky but liqueurs, cor dials, champagnes and even five gal lon cans of alcohol.
 The seizure was not brought to the attention of the federal attorneys officer here nor the German consul ate. The Carmen Is a wooden yes- sel, 300 feet long, with an auxiliary engine. She carried a crew of 1G and had cleared from Hamburg for Halifax.
 The seizure of lum runners be- yond the three-mile limit, under treaty with Great Britain, was re- gently held illegal by the supreme court. The United States has no such treaty with Germany.

M'NARY ID AGAIN
 OFFER FARM BILL
SinpliGed Form Of Measure
 Ready for Congress

Washington, Nov. 23 P1The McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill, this time in a somewhat simplified form, again will knock at the door of congress.
 Senator McNary of Oregon, who will be the new chairman of the senate agriculture committee, pro poses to introduce a re-drafted mea- sure on the first day of the ap- preaching session and speed its jour ney along the legislative pathway to final vote.
 The new bill will embody tts same principal as the old, he said, and, although the final draft is not complete, he proposes to ask an ap- propriation of s250,OO0,0O0 to set up the export machinery which the measure would create to handle to surplus crops
 Senator McNary still expects to confer with number of farm lead- CTS but in announcing his intention to again bring the bill before con- gress, he asserted the principal change to be made In the new mea- sure would be in the administrative machinery it would set up.
 He feels the bill, defeated last year. will draw more support by the coming session, as the farmers of the west and south, are in his opin- ion demanding more ardently re- lief from low prices.
 The new measure would provide for board to be appointed by the president from the 12 federal land bank districts and would receive salary of s10,000 per year each. They would be required to devote their whole time to the business of the board.
 Crops to be included in the scope of the proposed measure would be wheat, corn, cotton, swine and rice, the last named apeparing for the first time in connection with such legislation.
 Assurances of support, the senator said, have been given him by a number of senate and house mem bers,

HARDEST GAME 0F
 THE PAST DECADE
Army and Navy to Stage Fierce
 Struggle on Saturday

West Point, Nov. 23 CP -- "The
 closest and hardest fought Army
 Navy game of the past ten years"
 is Coach Biff Jones' sole prediction as to what will happen in Chicago Saturday when the Middies and Cadets stage their annual classic. Nobody could predict the winner and keep a straight face while doing it." Jones added. "The Navy has one of the best teams in the country this year. It has looked good in every game"
 The excitemnt of the navy game, gripping the Cadets as no other con- test of the season, expressed itself in roaring cheers and lifting marching songs as the student body gathered about the eleven in practice and showed the players samples of the joist that will bear down upon them from the Army stands Saturday. There was no real scrimmage for the regulars, just dummy workout against Navy formations combined with much kicking and passing.
 With winter arriving early to the plains, yesterdays drill held under the glare of flood lights and the players for the first time this season, were allowed to dine later than the rest of the corps in order to prolong the workout.
 The football party, about 70 in number. will leave here Wednesday for Chicago in two special cars. On arrival there Thursday, the team will make its headquarters at the Cold Spring Country Club.
 Annapolis, Md, Nov. 23 P-Arc lights and patrolling guards play an important part in Navy's last days of practice preliminary to departure fc Chicago to battle West Point for service, and perhaps national su- premacy.
 Coach Navy Bilr' Ingram, who has brought his first year as coach at the Naval Academy to within one step of absolute success, has shown no signs of letting his charges grow stale. Practice, which yesterday ex- tended from early afternoon until late into the night, with Farragut field flooded with spotlights, will be on a similar sort today.
 All sessions are private, and Mid- dies, silent unless a passerby breaches a question as to Navy's chances Saturday, ward off all those interested in final preparations.
 Coach Ingram has formed an Army team, drilled with West Point tactics, and has devoted his time to instructing each member of his undefeated eleven with what he is to expect from the man he faces this weekend.
 The squad has been relieved of drill for the remainder of the season. 1
