SUPPORTS
BAN ON POISON GAS
Action on Chemical Warfare
Is Delayed on Advice of
U. S. Delegate.
By the Associated Press.


GENEVA, December 2.-Delegates to
the Leagues Preparatory Disarmament
Commission, with Hugh s. Gibson of
the United States delegation taking an
active part in the discussion, today reg
istered a concerted opposition to the
use of poison gas in warfare.
1t was a spirited discussion but def
mite action on prohibitive measures was
referred for final decision to the Cen
eral Disarmament Conference.
On Ambassador Gibson's motion the
Preparatory Commission invited all
governments to set their experts to work
on this issue and to come to the Cen
eral Conference ready to draft an
agreement which would clarity the in
depreciation of restrictions on chemical
warfare.
German Proposal Defeated.
BY vote of to S the commission
rejected budgetary limitation for air
forces, with the American delegate not
voting. Lord Cecil of England directed
particular attention to the narrow mar
gin by which this measure was defeated.
The German proposal to prohibit use
Of tanks of all kinds and use of cannon
above certain caliber-as imposed on
Germany by the Versailles treaty-was
defeated. Only the Soviet delegate sup
ported Count Won Bernstorff'S proposal.
The poison gas discussion began when
Lord Cecil asserted that Britain inter-
"A nf
prohibiting tear gas, and he asked the
delegates to consider embodiment of the
Interpretation in a disarmament treaty
draft.
Gibson, however, pointed out that this
matter is too profoundly technical for
wise decision now and suggested that
1t be studied fully before any action be
taken.
Nearly all the states supported the
British and American suggestion and
the SovietS and the Chinese went even
further, urging prohibition Of the man
ufacture of harmful gases.
Canadian Amendment Tabled.
Canadas dependence upon aircraft
to patrol her vast forest areas and to
maintain communication with remote
parts of the dominion was set forth
today by Walter Riddell, Canadian
delegate.
He objected to incorporation in the
draft convention, which the commits
sion is drawing up, provision prohibit
ing employment of military aviation
personnel or craft for civil purposes,
and he proposed that material and per-
sonnel used in civil matters be counted
in the agreed military quotas.
Mr.. Gibson, Lord Cecil and Count
Won Bernstorf supported the Canadian
amendment, but France and others
feared that 1t would establish an inti-
mate link between civil and military
aviation which would result in in
creased war potentialities of civil craft
and personnel.
M. Westman of Sweden suggested
that the Canadian proposal would en-

LOCAL PASTOR COMES
FROM FAMILY OF CLERGY

In conversation with the Rev.
o. r. A. ToIiefson of the First
Lutheran church the other day it
was brought out that he came
from a family of ministers. His
father, Rev. E. C. Tollefson, is
pastor at Watford City, N. d. One
brother is pastor at Baker and
another at Hazen, N. Oak. Four
brothers of his father are minis
tiers, and two sisters of his father
married ministers, while his moth
er's only brother was a minister.
He also has four cousins who are
ministers. His fathers father was
a lay preacher at Willmar, Min
nesota, in the early days. The
Tollefson family is said to be the
largest ministerial family in the
world.
One of Rev. Tollefson's aunts,
Mrs. M. A. Peterson, who for 25
years was a missionary worker
among the Santhals in India, will
be here on Mothers day, May II,

TIME HOME
DEMONSTRATION

Home demonstration work in
Roosevelt county is being put on
a more satisfactory basis through
the efforts of Elisabeth Hart,
home demonstration agent who re-
Gently came to C%ulbertson to take
charge of this work.
Miss Hart is working under an
agreement with the county COM
missioners and the Indiaa bureau
which permits deyoting a portion
of her time to the development of
home projects among the Indian
communities in addition to the
work carried on among the whites.
Through the agreement with the
Indian bureau a full time agent
for Roosevelt county has been
made possible without much add
ed expenditure of county funds
and is believed will be much more
satisfactory than the three-county
agreement under which women's
extension work has been carried
on for the past three years.
The new agent has met with a
number of the rural women's
groups to complete the kitchen
project work started by Vesta
Hanson and is planning to reach
others as rapidly as possible. She
will also have charge of the gorls'

Our High School Band

Chamber of Commerce members
were pleasantly surprised last ev-
ening when the Wolf Point school
band, consisting of 26 pieces, rem
dered a half hour program. 1t was
no child stuff either, some of the
numbers being particularly intri-
cate and the rendition of all was
in a manner highly creditable; in
deed the quality of the music was
entirely unexpected and the young
players were rewarded with I'M
usual applause after each number.
The band was on it's way to Great
Falls to take part in the music
meet, which begins today.
Pretty snappy town, that Wolf
Point. Look at the basketball
team it put out this year, and
now this band, the like of which
Havre would be more than pleased
to call its own. They sure go af-
ter things in a big way at Wolf

definitely enumerated and ample
provision is made for protecting
those who are employed in these
industries. Under the present act,

number of employers who are now
responsible is 1928.
