TOWNSEND ON COMMITTEES
Delaware Solon Named on Bank
ing and Farm Groups

Senator John G. Townsend, Jr.,
of Delaware had better utilize the
whole of his holiday vacation in
real rest, for when Congress comes
back he will enter upon a period of
exceptional activity. Not only will
he be as busy as any other mem
Der in disposing of the strenuous
program facing the Senate, chiefly
the great appropriation bills, but
in addition he has accepted as
signments to committee work of
great Importance. Besides keeping
up with the daily work of the SEN
ate, he must find time to attend
the meetings of four committees.
Of exceptional Importance is the
duty devolving upon him by virtue
Of his membership on a sub-com-
mittee of banking and currency
charged with inquiring into the OPP
Grafton Of the National Bank and
Federal Reserve systems, with
view to proposing amendments to
limit use of banking funds in spec
ulative commitments in Wall
Street. Senator Glass, of Virginia
author of the resolution of inquiry,
is chairman of this committee. AS
a member of subcommittee of
the committee on agriculture, Sen
ator Townsend will aid in working
out a plan to enable the Federal
Land Banks to carry over interest
on farm loans for period of three
years. AS member of a sub
committee, Senator Townsend is
charged with the duty of looking
into the charge that Senator Wag-
ner, of New York, made early in
the session, namely, that bread
prices in the cities have not fol-
lowed the price recessions in
wheat. a fourth body on which
Senator Townsend is a working
member is the Yorktown Sesqui-
centennial Commission, arranging
for a great celebration of the
150th anniversary of the British
surrender to General Washington.

Tearoom Theodosia swept into

her friends were crouched around

"Well, you see It's like this, girls"
she effervesced. II called up father

Eskimo Seeks Working Mate

The Eskimo bride is chosen, not
for her looks, but mainly because
she is good at making clothing, a
resourceful cook, and handy work
er around the camp. The girl who
is unable or unwilling to do her
share of the work, even if she pos
sesses the beauty of a venus, has
a poor chance of finding a mate.

Demonstrators were trampled by

outside the British museum. The

The demonstrators gathered early
and sought to force their way insO

eleven men and one woman were

They fought police patrols, who
blocked their way along the narrow,

crowd there moved on after a brief

The clashes followed lively en-

crowds of unemployed, shouting
anti-government slogans and in
ugly mood, defied orders not to
demonstrate within a mile radius of
the houses of parliament. One po-
liceman was hurt. The crowd jeered,
but the demonstrators gradually re-
coded before the police, and were
driven away from Whitehall and the
cenotaph. Twelve were arrested.

Econimic success of prohibition
was claimed Tuesday night by
James A. Grain, secretary of the
board of temperance and social well
fare of the Disciples of Christ
church, at a county meeting of Dis
ciples of Christ churches at the
University Park Christian church.
Grain quoted figures tending to
show that savings deposits had in
creased under prohibition from So
600, 100000 to $4,000, 100000, and
that building and loan associations
had increased from 1900 to more
than twelve thousand.

amendment was instigated and is
being financed by the Association
Against the Prohibition Amend
ment, which last year spent 100000
in an attempt to defeat prohibit
