Hydrogen Is Returning
to Favor for Balloons

INSTRUMENTATION, one of the
youngest members of a large family
OF gases. but very useful to Uncle Sam
because It lifts balloons, is looking to
its laurels- Hydrogen, an older broth
er, Is returning to favor.
Because Of its high inflammability,
hydrogen left a quality to be desired
which helIum was subsequently found
to possess. Helium, however, was ex-
ceedingly rare as opposed to the abun-
dance of its rival, ard 1t was expen-
sive to manufacture.
Recently the experience OF a Brit
ish dirigible visited by lightning dur
ing a storm led to the conclusion that
hydrogen was more to be respected
than disdained. II they could elimi-
nate ON additional hazard, that Of the
combustible fumes generated by the
gasoline motors, engineers believe
they could ~re-establish hydrogen az
premier for gas-bng imitation.
Development Of an engine utilizing
crude oil for fuel has monopolized
their efforts.

Training for Children
to Deueiop Americans

Mrs. Maude r. Cudworth, chairman
OF the American Legion auxillary's
national A~mericanism committee, in a
message to state Americanism chair
men sen from national headquarters
In Indianapolis, Ind, outlining the
auxiliary's program Of Americanism
work for this year, said In part:
I'VE must know that u children
are receiving such training as will de-
velop real American citizens. There
Is no more important part of child
welfare work in America than to
teach and train the child to be a true
and loyal citizen. We are fortunate
to include within the ranks of u
auxiliary large numbers Of the
young mothers. They have the op.
portunity to keep in close touch with
our schools and to get back Of all
those teachers and directors who are
unfolding American ideals In the
schools, and who need the support Of
all loyal citizens.
with such cooperation Of school
and home, we can gain an assurance
that salacious and %subversive influ-
ences shall not reach our children.
Tolerance Of the opinions and ideals
OF others, and q sure, steady, per
suasive information will accomplish
ultimately our great work among the
women Of America"

Modern Home is Finer

The furniture dealer is best qualified to
refute the calimity howlers when the lat
ter predict the passing of the great
American home" and il is the furniture
dealer who can assure tbs public that the
American takes a greater interest in his
home today than ever before.
Furniture is indissolubly associated with
the home. so the furniture business serves
as an accurate barometer of home condi-
tions. IL is ~seif-evident that if the home
is losing its traditional attraction the
volume of business transacted by the
furniture merchants wonld be diminish
ing. But the people of the United States
are buying more and better furniture, SO
il follows, they must be more home loving
h their immediate or earlier antece
dents.
sThe furniture business is n of the
largest and tastes growing of the coun
try's many commercial enterprises. AS q
newspaper advertiser it ranks in VOLUME
with other large scale advertisers, the
automobile. real estate and clothing deal
ers.
Analysis of newspaper advertising
and advertisers proves that advertising
is not employed to create a demand TO-
unwanted Merchandise, but is resorted to
to stimulate an existing demand and 10
inform the buying public OF products foI
which there is already a demand.
On the above practical theory of adver-
Using one can leaf through the advertis-
ing pages of the newspapers and maya
zine and intellleently estimate relative
demands for the advertised products. Il
does not always follow that the mos
widely advertised article is Of better quail
ity than another less widely advertised

TAXES
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
The insurgent bloc in the new
Congress will battle to sidetrack
tax reduction .sislstion until after
the enactment of flood control and
farm relief measures, it was learned
here today.
The insurgents will seek consid-
Grafton of Mississippi flood relief
measures as the first act of the new
Congress, according to Senator Rob-
ert M. LaFollette, jr. R) of Wis.
consin. Then the insurgents will
urge enactment of farm relief bill,
after which. if the condition OF the
Treasury warrants it.. they will not
oppose tax reduction legislation.
The insursent program will carry
considerable weight in the next
Congress as the independent group
will hold a complete balance of
power" in tie Senate. The Admin
lstration forces will be helpless with
out insurgent support. while the
Democrats will be unable to mus
ter a majority IL the independents
Of both parties vote with the Ad.
ministration.
Urges Special Session
In outlining the program. LeFol.
lette renewed his declaration in
favor of a special session of Con-
sress. He said the situation in
the flooded area justifies The cali
ing Of Congress now just as much
as at the time Of the disaster"
THE first thing Congress should
consider is flood relief and flood
control" said LaFollette. Then
farm relief"
In spite of all the yowling
about prosperity by propagandists
OF the present administration,
La Toilette said, "the official
figures issued by the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics in the De
partment OF Commerce show con.
ditions among farmers are worst
now than last year. The net in
come Of farmers declined 90 per
cent since last year. the bureau
announced. The same agency
issued statistics showing that
corporations have made. on att
stock, a return of 13 per cent while
the farmers made but 1-1Oths
percent.
Something Wrong"
There is something radically
wrong with such economic condi-
tions."
LaFollette predicted action by
Congress on Muscle Shoals.

project in the District of Columbia Il.
These problems will be considerej.
he said. after Congress has dis.
posed of flood control, farm relief

WORK SETTLES DISPUTE
OVER OIL SHALES CLAIMS
Secretary Decided as to Owners of
Holdings in Greenwood Springs
District, Colorado.

A controversy over oil share hold
ings IN the Greenwood Springs land
district of Colorado was settled yes
terday by Secretary Work. when he
ordered the claim Of George l.. Sum-
mers Cancelled and those of the Stand
ard Shales Products Co. and J. d.
Freeman sustained.
In announcing the decision, the
Secretary said the Summers claims
were ordered Cancelled because they
were made upon land covered by
prior valid mineral locations and
there could be no question as to the
greater value Of the land for their
oil deposits and for other purposes.
The case grew out of an applica.
ton by Summers in 1920 for enlarged
homestead entries. which was fol-
lowed with mineral reservations and
the subsequent protest by the Stand
ard Shales Products Co. and Freeman,
on the ground that they held prior
placer mining claims.
