PLAN TO RUSH
CRUISER BILL
THRU CONGRESS
Work Senate Overtime;
Other War Measures

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. I'll
alarmed at the continued delay on
the naval cruiser building bill, re-
publican leaders held conference
today with Vice-President-ele
Charles Curtis and decided to use
strenuous efforts to hurry through
this administration measure.
The conference was called at the
instance Of Chairman Hale of the
senate naval affairs committee, who
complained that his naval bill was
being buffeted by appropriation
bills, which have the right Of way.
TO Work Longer.
! The leaders agreed they would
have the senate meet an hour earlier
each morning and sit an hour later
each evening to hasten the appro-
priation bills along. Next week, if
the situation is not cleared, they
agreed night sessions might be
necessary. Al any rate, they will
not permit the bill to be jeopardized,
they said. All of them realize that
U. S. Imperialism will hold them re-
sponsible for any real delay in its
war preparations.
The conference was held while the
senate was in executive session clos
ing debate in preparation for con-
firming the nomination of Roy O.
West as secretary of the interior.
iAfterward debate on the prohibition
provisions of the first deficiency
appropriation bills were to be taken
up.
New War Plans.
A bill authorizing an appropria-
ton of $125,000 for construction of
a cannon powder blending plant at
Picatinny Arsenal, Dover, N. j., was
passed by the house and sent to the
senate today. This is expected to
pass easily, as it is only another of
the war measures.
The Jones amendment to the first
deficiency appropriation bill was at
tackled by Senator Blaine, repub-
lican. Wisconsin, today as "the
greatest indictment ever brought
against the people of any nation"
He referred to the part of the
amendment providing S250,000 for
dissemination of information ap-
pealing for law observance and en-
forcement." He indicated that open
propaganda by the government for
prohibition was an undignified pro-
cedure.
Aids American Legion.
The house today passed and sent
to the senate bill authorizing the
secretary of war to lend cots and
other equipment to the American
Legion, to be used at the 18th ma
tional convention of the organiza-
ton at Louisville, KY, beginning

MORGAN, YOUNG,
IN ACCEPTANCE
Agree to Sit on Board
of Preparations

James Pierpont Morgan. head of
the Wall Street financial empire,
and Owen D. Young of the electrical
manufacturing trust. have accepted
the Invitation" of six Preparations
countries" to sit on the council of
experts, which will meet soon to fix
the total amount Of Preparations"
really indemnity, which Germany
must pay for losing the war and try
to devise ways to compromise the
conflicting interests of the victors.
Morgan Elects Himself.
Formal acceptance was made by
Morgan to Sir Esme Howard in per-
son. Howard, as ambassador of
Great Britain, went to the trouble of
visiting New York and inviting Nor
gan and Young, although everybody
knows this is mere red tape, Nor
gan having "invited" himself, in the
name of American finance capital,
and considerably against the wishes
of some of the European debtor gov.
crnments. They didn't dare to re-
fuse him, that was all.
An amusing incident developed
during the Invitations which
showed the hollowness of the farce
being played. Sir Esme Howard
gave an interview to the press, stat
ing that he knew of but one alter
rate, and would invite but one.
Thomas N. Perkins. Young accepted
for Perkins. But Morgan accepted,
not only for himself, but for his OWE
personal alternate, his partner,
Thomas J. Lamont. And Sir Esme
had to swallow his tongue and say
nothing to avoid humiliating eX-
posures.
U. S. May Veto Decision.
Morgan and Young are theoret-
ically unofficial delegates to the
experts board. This is to give the
u. S. government an absolute veto
power if Morgan should be outvoted
on the board. The U. S. can, if il
wishes, simply refuse to recognize
any decisions.

practice you'll find a most obedient
little 'piggie" that may be exercised
without interfering with the action
of the ether toes. AS this toe is ex-
ercised, you will feel a slight pull
on the muscles leading from the
great toe to the instep. 1t is this
particular exercise that brings re-
lief to fallen arc and weak feet
or prevents such troubles from oc-
curing. Repeat the exercise 10
times.
That is all Of the standing exer-
cises. Now lie flat on your back and
draw the toes up and back towards
the body, hold for a second, then
relax. Repeat 10 times. One may
go through the standing exercises
just before retiring and do the
other after going to bed.
Rising on the toes and walking
around the room on the balls Of the
feet also will prove beneficial ir
strengthening the Heet and ankles.
It also improves ones posture.
In my last article I gave a treat
ment to relieve burning and aching
feet by the application Of colo
cream, ice and massage. The foot
powder suggested in that article
may be used at any time and is
splendid to prevent excessive per-
spiration and slight burning during
these hot days.
1t is made by adding three
fourths of a cupful of powdered
boric and one-fourth Of a cupful
Of powdered alum together. Mix
them thoroughly and then Gust the
powder over the feet and sprinkle a
little bit into the slippers.

Minister, SIS, Has
Won Fourth Degree

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 26.-LP)--
A belief that a minister's knowledge
should be general with a wide back
ground has motivated the Rev. j. G.
Roper, Methodist pastor of Column
bia, who at SIS is still a student.
The degree of doctor of philoso-
ply awarded by the University Of
South Carolina, is the latest mile
stone in his pursuit of knowledge.
He holds B. A. and M. A degrees
from Wofford college, where he ma
jored in geology, and a B. S. de-
gree from the College of Cnarles-
ton.
In gaining his doctors degree,
he "majored" in education but also
took advanced courses in sociology,
biology, geology, history and jour-
nalism.

LANDING FIELD
EAUTHORIZED
San Benito Closes Contract
Calling For Purchase of
Suitable Site
Especial To The Herald)

SAN BENTTO, July 26.-At an
adjourned meeting, opening at 2
o'clock Thursday afternoon. follow
ing q meeting Wednesday night,
members Of the San Benito city
commission passed q resolution au-
thorizing Mayor j. Scott Brown to
close up a contract to purchase a
site for an intermediate landing
field here.
The commissioners, along with l..
G. Elliott, division extension super
intendent Of the department OK
commerce, and members Of the
San Benito airport committee, visit
ed the suggested sites, and are I'M
derstood to have agreed upon a
location, suitable to all.
The necessary papers for trans
fer Of this site to the city are x
pected to be signed in q day or.
two, and the site will then be leased
to the government to be used as an
airfield.
Under the terms Of the agree
ment as outlined by Elliott. the de-
partment Of commerce will equip

NAVAL ARMS
MEET SEEN
Predict Limitations Confer
ence of Powers Before
Next Spring

WASHINGTON, July 26.-P-
Signs pointing toward the convoca-
ton before next spring of a pre-
lininary naval limitation confer
ence Of world powers appear to
Washington observers of interna-
tlonal affairs to be multiplying.
Although official information On
the subject is lacking. they draw
their. chief substance from analysis
Of pronouncements made this week
J8by President Hoover and Prime
Minister Macdonald and meager
comments in other quarters gener-
ally well acquainted with such mat
tiers.
One Of the signs into which the
clearest indication Of such a con-
ference is being read is the action
OF President Hoover in postponing
construction of three cruisers which
were to have been laid down this
fall under the 15-cruiser program
that became law last winter.
His manifest qualification over
the early evidence that the Kellogg
BRAND treaty for remuneration OF
war Is having the desired effect
throughout the world also is re-
garded as deeply significant, and
great importance also is attached
to his announcement Tuesday OF
preparations, through a commission
Of general staff officers, to find a
way to reduce the governments x
penditures for maintenance OF Its
army.
Still another sign that vital foun-
dations already have been laid Tor
a preliminary naval conference Is
visualized on the basis Of Secretary
Sitmson's explanation Of the prln-
ciple of parity agreed upon by
Prime Minister Macdonald and Am
basSador Dawes as an outcome OF
their discussions IN England.
That principle of parity IN naval
strength as between the United
States and Great Britain, the sec
rotary announced, means absolute
equality Of fighting strength IN the
two navies, applying not only to
capital ships and aircraft carriers
for which it was established at the
1922 arms conference, but to all
cruisers and the other categories
of vessels which constitute those
navies."
The question of parity Of ships OF
10000 tons or less has been a trou-
blesome one since the 1922 confer
ence in Washington.
