N-SANCT|ON|NG
POLICY DENOUNCED
Liable to Bring Strife, Glass
Says-Congress May Ex-
press DisapproVal.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A movement in Congress for at
least a declaration against the policy
of the State Department in approx
ing or disappearing American private
loans to foreign governments appears
to be in prospect.
This policy was denounced last
night by Senator Glass. Democrat,
Virginia. as one both opening the
field to scandal at home and to strife
with foreign governments whose ap
plications for loans might be disap-
proved by the State Department.
Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman
of the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee. and other Senators also are
definitely on record against a con-
tinuation of the policy. which the Sen
ators insist is not authorized by any
law enacted by Congress and conse-
quentiy is an illegal use of power.
While Senator Glass did not say
in his formal statement that he would
seek legislation to end the practice
which grew up in the Harding ad-
ministratiOn. he did say emphatically
that he would not vote for law
authorizing such action by the State
Department. Borah and others take
the same view.
Follows French Loan Action.
The current flare.up over the ad.
ministra ton policy results from the
action of the State Department in
officially notifying France that it
would not object to refunding OF the
500, ,00O, 900 s per cent credit which
France obtained here in 1920.
This notification went forward dur
ing the tariff discussions with France
in the hope that it would create
better Franco American feeling and
facilitate the negotiations looking TO
the removal of increased French duties
on American commodities.
For that reason Senator BOrah with
drew his objection to the French re-
funding, but in doing so he made it
plain to Secretary kellogg that he was
not approving the policy of the de-
partment and not withdrawing ObJec-
tions to other such transactions.
As the situation has been explained
unofficially, the idea of granting or
Withholding approval of private
American loans to governments abroad
came about during the period preced-
ing the refunding OF the war debts
owed the United States by Great Brit
ain, France. Italy and other coun'
tries.
Hope to Facilitate Refunding.
Some officials took the view that
withholding of sanction for private
credits to the debtor nations would
facilitate the settlement of the out.
standing loans which were so much de-
sired by the American Government.
Some of the war loans have not vet
been refunded, among them the
French, and consequently the policy
AS to sanctioning private advances
has been continued.

the American Treasury was engaged

Organdy Appears Again
as Material for Frocks

Organdy is a fabric that has almost
been forgotten. It's revival this year
is in part due to interest in fluffy, full
skirted dresses in delicate shades and
lowered patterns for young girls
party frocks, afternoon dresses, and
summer evening wear generally. 1t
is made in such colors as pink, peach,
orchid, nile, blue, and maize, both
plain and in floral designs.
The textile division Of the bureau OF
home economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, calls atten-
ton to the pleasing qualities of or
CANDY as a fabric for summer after
moons and evenings. 1t is sheer and
cool, yet has crispness that remains
after laundering. 1t can be washed
at home successfully. Full-skirted
fashions are recommended for devel-
opment in organdy, with trimmings Of
inserted bands rather than ruffles.
Shaded effects can be produced by
combining two or more cOlOrs in var
ious ways. Slips of baronet satin or
other rayon fabrics are good under
organdy because of their sheen and
the fact they are also washable. Or
CANDY trimmings for other cotton ma
terials are effective, as, for example,
bands of organdy with tissue Bingham,
or collar and cuff sets of organdy, or
matching hats. Organdy is also rec
commended for dainty bedroom cur
tains and lamp-shades.

MAKING CURTAINS
TO FIT WINDOWS
Use Ycrdstick for Accurate
Measurements.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Before you buy your material 1t is
a wise precaution to draw to scale
the window to be curtained. Use a
yardStick or folding ruler, as tape
line may stretch, resulting in mac
curate measurements. Note the exact
dimensions of the window on your
drawing, and also the width of the
trim and apron. Then sketch in light
ly the kind of curtains you wish to
have and decide whether or not they
are suited to that type of window.
If the window is very broad, you may
not need valance, since that empha-
sizes the horizontal lines; if the
window is narrow and high, valance
and side draperies set far over at the
edge of the trim will help TO correct
its proportions.
Let us assume that you are going
to make glass curtains of scrim, mar
quisette or net, with side draperies
and gathered valance of cretonne,
unlined. Following directions given
by the United States Department of

''Rat Killing Week" Is
Suggested by Specialist

So far as known no one has yet
suggested a Rat Killing week, al
though it is common knowledge that
the rats of this country destroy food
stuffs worth many millions every
year. Rat colonies in barnyard refuse,
around straw stacks and under and
adjacent to small buildings can be
quickly cleaned out by pumping cal
SUM cyanide dust into their burrows,
says NJ. S. Johnson, associate pro-
fessor of zoology. University of Min
neSota.
Soon after fumigating rat colony
on farm in Cottonwood county, Mr.
Johnson and the farmer collected 21
dead rats which were near enough to
the surface to be easily found. The
rodents had succumbed to the cya-
hide gas. This demonstration by the
university man was witnessed by
many farmers and made a very favor
able impression.
But the most generally useful
method of getting rid of rats, espe-
cially when they are not held in mar
row confines, is to poison their food
with barium carbonate. This should
be used in the proportion of one part
to four parts of any food that is not
otherwise available to the rodents.
Barium carbonate is a deadly poison
and must be handled carefully.

as the valance hides the top of them.
The measurement for their width is
taken on the plan drawn to scale, on
the part of the trim nearest the glass.
Allow twice the width of the window
in soft materials = almost two
breadths, usually. They should be
just long enough to escape the SILL
Glass curtains may have hens from
IL to inches wide at the front and
lower edges, and A-inch hem on the
outside. A common rule is to add 9
inches to the length of any finished
curtain for hens, heading, and shrink
age, but since the glass curtains are
to be run on rods through a casing at
the top, without heading, inches
less may be allowed.
Each curtain length should be meas
ured and checked before any material
is cut off. Before cutting, draw
threads if possible to provide an &C
curate guide. Trim off all selvedges
and put in the side hens, then the top
and bottom hens. They should all be
turned under the depth of the hem.
