SENATE RATIfIES
WORLD COURT
Votes 1917 for Entry of United
States Reservations
Are Approved.

Washington-Adhere of the Uni
ted States to the World court with re-
servation was approved by the senate
76 to II. The vote brought to an end
one of the bitterest fights the senate
has had since the memorable struggle
over the League of Nations. Operat-
ing under the drastic cloture rule
limiting debate, the senate worked far
past its usual hour of adjournment to
reach the final vote.
Those against adhesion were: Boz
rah, Brookhart, Fernald, Frazier, Her
reir, Johnson, LaFollette, Moses, Nye,
Pine, Robinson, Indiana; Schall, Wat
son, Williams, Blease, Reed, Mis-
souri,, Shipstead. These reservations
are known to be acceptable to Presi-
dent Coolidge but before this coun-
try has it's signature officially affixed
to the court protocol and statute, they
must be accepted through an exchange
of notes by the other As nations al
ready members of the court. The
salient features of the reservations
are that the United States is to have
no legal relation to the League Of
Nations; that it may withdraw from
the court at it's will and that the tri-
bunal shall not, without the consent
of this country, entertain any request
for an advisory opinion" touching
any dispute or question in which the
United States "has or claims an in
terest."

Russians to Sell Crown Jewels
and Buy u. S. Farm Machinery

Moscow-Soviet Russia is now ready
to trade her crown jewels for Ameri-
can plows, tractors and machinery.
Negotiations are in progress for the
sale of the vast collection of gems
to American and other jewellers, but
private buyers can take only a negli-
gible portion of the treasures because
of their enormous value. The govern
ment is prepared to exchange the re-
mainder for American farm machin-
cry, locomotives and other products,
needed by Russia. The jewels Of
fered for sale are appraised by Rus
sian French and Czecho-Slovak ex-
perts variously, but the average Of
their estimates is 1854, 100000, about
$50,000,O0O greater than Russia's debt
to the United States.

longer at school, and then had taken
up the study of music. Among the
limbo of personalities which drifts into
the bywaters of little towns, she had

of talent. who had sought the seclu-

artistic strain in the girl and had bent
his own genius to call it forth with no

 He report is as follows;
 ''rhe New Britain fresh air camp for the season of 1925 was run for period Of nine weeks, July 1st to September 2nd. The number Of children sent was 294: 146 boys and l4S girls. The period Of yaaction was arranged as follows: 67 girls for 2 weeks Gi girls for 3 weeks 30 girls for weeks; 1l3 boys for 2 weeks 3l boys for 4 weeks.
 The length o fstay at the camp Is determined by the physical con- dition of the child on application. Total number of child weeks was Si7, an increase Of 246 weeks over the season of 1924. This was ac- complished by means of the extra accommodation afforded through the erection Of a new unit
