To SAVE
|. D. {. BUILDING

Whether the District Building
will survive the triangle public
buildings program may depend
on whether it can be remodeled.
This was the word sent out
from architectural circles today,
ir reply to congressional forces
which have announced their pur.
pose Of opposing the demolition
OF the structure.
A leading Government archi
tect said:
"The District Building can
be saved If it can be remodeled.
It has an excess of ornamental
tiOn and various gingerbread
effects which will have to be
done away with to be in har-
mOny with the new Triangle
buildings. These probably can
be Sheared away all right"
The expense of such remodel
ing will be comparatively light,
in comparison with what the
Federal Government intends to
pay for the remodeling Of the
State, War and Navy Building
which will soon be under way
this official said.
This alternate plan will be
brought before the Public Build
ings Committees of the House
and Senate next December, it is
said.

LIFE
Of WASHINGTON

Even though George Washing
ton was the most "sagacious bust.
ness man Of his time" he was a
heavy loser at cards and seemed
to enjoy the business Of gambling.
This was divulged today by DIR.
Albert Bushnell Hart. historian of
the George Washington Bicenten.
nial Commission, In the last Of
series Of lectures on George
Washington and His Time" At
George Washington University.
In a very carefully kept diary
Washington recorded that he had
lost &75 at cards in one year. In
another year, however, he was
winner by &72.
Among the many enterprises in
which Washington was interested
was a distillery in Virginia, which
proved quite profitable. Washing
ton also foreSaw the future of un-
settled lands, which he bought by
the thousands Of acres and later
sold at great profit.
One Of the "grandeSt strokes of
business which the general of the
Revolutionary army made, ac-
cording to DR.. Hart, was his mar
riage to Mrs. Martha CustiS, who
was the wealthieSt woman in Vir-
ginia at the time. incidentally,
DR.. Hart remarked, by this mar
liage, Mrs. Custis also made a
fine stroke by procuring in George
Washington the best manager she
had had for her estates at no
salary.

COMMONS VOTE
BACKS LABOR
BUDGET
274--222 Return, Including
Land Tax Amendment, Is
Guarantee of No Big Crisis

LONDON, July 3.-The ECuse
Of Commons today by a voge of
274 to 222, adopted the Labor
governments budget for the com.
ing fiscal year, including the
much-debated Liberal partys
amendment to the governments
land tax bill
Uncertainty Passes
Passage Of the liberal amend
ment to the land tax bill defin.
itely took the Macdonald min,
istry "0ut Of the wood" on a
bill which has held the govern
ment on the anxious seat for
several weeks.
The amendment exempts un.
developed land from the pro-
posed tax of a penny to the
pound q cents for each $4.9S)
of valuation. and reduces the an,
ticipated revenue from this tax
by about 10 per cent.
The labor government accepted
this amendment only after it be-
came apparent from conferences
between labor and liberal party
leaders that failure to accept it
would precipitate' a government
crisis which would almost surely
result in the governments de-
feat.
Government Stays
The Government was defeated
once on an amendment to the
land tax bill, offered by the Con.
servative party when the division
caught the Laborites mapping and
many of the Liberal members
were absent from their seats.
But as the amendment was Of
minor, technical nature, Prime
Minister Macdonald accepted it,
and the government was not
obliged to resign.

A counter.attack was launched
today by the Federal Farm Board
against critics of its stabilization
wheat sales policy.
James C. Stone, chairman,
stripped for a fight to the end
with politicians and wheat-belt
leaders who seek to overthrow
the boards program Of selling
monthly 5000, 900 bushels Of
wheat on the open market.
He has singled out the private
grain dealers as the object OF
bitter criticism, charging they
have inspired the agitation for
withholding all Stabilization wheat
from the market for at least a
year.
Won't Stand DictatiOn

traders and spectators dictate
to this board, no matter how
much pressure they attempt
to bring"
About other critics-such Vice
President Curtis and Senator
Capper (RO, of KanSas-Chair

make no modification Of its pol
icy.

Washington Monday to confer
with President Hoover and Chair
man Stone. He will ask the lat
ter to pledge no sale Of Stabiliza-

no such promise. He declares

ing position, since the United
States was in no position to
negotiate concerning political
cOmpenSatiOnS.
Germany was to have been the
butt of most of the French de-
mands, which included one that
Germany surrender to France
the new German west pocket"
cruiser Deutschland, on the repa-
rations account; that Germany
drop all plans for a customs
union with Austria; that Ger
many agree to sign an eastern
locarno," guaranteeing the per-
manency Of the Polish borders.
French to Build Cruiser
A desire to realize on some of
these demands was the interpre-
tation placed on Premier Pierre
LavalS announcement yesterday
that there would be an eventual
widening Of the basis of the
conversation"
This was also the reason at
trihuted to Frances objections to
the proposal by the British gov
ernment that the signatory ma
tionS to the Young Plan meet in
London for an immediate confer
ence. France wanted the parley
in Paris.
Terrific diplomatic pressure
was brought to bear on Germany
during the past week in an effort
to compel concessions which
would "Save face" for France.
The German "vest pocket" cruiser
has been a source of worry to
France ever since plans for the
first cruiser of this class were
announced, and only today the
French Senate voted for the con-
Struction of a. new 23,000-ton
French cruiser as an ANSWER"
to Germany's west pocket"
ships.
The French Minister of Marine
announced in the Senate yester-
day that the proposal had been
made that the Deutschland and
other cruisers of the west
pocket" type be turned over to
France on account of repara-
tions. The Senate's vote to con-
Struct a $4,000 ton cruiser was
expression of that body'S dis
belief that Germany would ever
consent to such a proposal.

LONDON, July 3.-One of the
chief difficulties, if not the great
est obstacle, in the way of an
agreement between the French
and American negotiators con-
cerning the Hoover moratorium
proposal was Frances insistence
upon playing politics" with the
Hoover proposal. International
News Service learned today.
The French negotiatorS insiS-
tently sought to reap large inter
national political gains out Of the
Hoover proposal as the price for
her agreement to the Hoover pro-
poSal, and this dragging in Of
European politics was the real
cause of the Franco-Amerlcan
deadlock.

demanded were sweeping In

France Would Make
Announcement As
JuZu 4 Gift to u. S.


PARIS. July 3 0.N.SO The
French government hopes to COM
norate the Fourth Of July by
announcing to the people of the
. United States q complete accord
on the Hoover moratorium pro-
posal. =.
International News Service was
Informed by q high authoritative
source that France is extremely
anxious to celebrate the occasion
( by a complete agreement on the
proposal for a war debts and
reparatiOnS holiday.
. A cabinet meeting, called for
tomorrow morning, will place its
approval upon the agreement.
: President Doumer Of France
will preside at this meeting.
1. N. S. Scores Beat
International News Service
learned from the most authorita-
tive source that the French
government had received a most
important communication from
M. De Margerie, French ambaSsa-
dor to Germany, following the
latter's conversation with Chan
cellor Bruening, of Germany.
It was the encouraging informa-
ton contained in this communi-
cation which led Pierre Etienne
Flandin, minister of finance, to
draw up the special plan regard
ing the guarantee fund.-" which
France would be obliged to pay
into the Bank Of international
Settlements in event Germany de-
clared a moratorium under the
terms Of the Young plan. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrew w.
Mellon accepted this plan lin
principle" subject to the approval
Of President Hoover.
This information came to inter
national News Service from the
same authoritative source as the
revelation, made public eXclu-
siveluy through International
News Service yesterday, that an
. agreement "in principle" had been
achieved.
Report Tonight
It is believed that following
tonight's meeting between Sec
retary Mellon and Ambassador
Walter E. Edge and Premier
Laval and his ministerial ad-
visers, a favorable report will Ne
given out, with, perhaps. the
statement that certain technical
points still remain to be cleared up.
The official announcement of
the accord probably will be made
public tomorrow, after the cabinet
meeting, unless some last minute
and unexpected objection from
Washington develops.
The terms of the accord are
those announced exclusively by
International News Service yes
terday: France agrees that Ger.
many shall be granted a long
term of years during which to
repay the Bank Of International
Settlements the loans to be OBJ
tanned from the proceeds of her
unconditional payments" into
that bank during the term of the
moratorium; France valves her
proposal that loans from these
funds be made available to other
central European and Balkan
countries, notably JugOslaviA and
Greece.
In return France received as
surance that she will not be
obligated to pay into the Bank
Of international Settlements the
guarantee fund provided for un.
der the Young plan in event Ger.
many declares q moratorium.

LIVER BILE
WITHOUT CAL0MEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
the Morning Karin to Go

If yon feel SOUR and snnk and the world
looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts,
mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing
gum and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and huoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can't do 1t. They only move the
bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at
the cause The reason for your down-and-out
feeling is your liver. 1T should pour out two
pounds Of 3iquid bile into your bowels daily.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn't digest. 1t just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats Np your stomach. You have a
thick, bad taste and your breath is foul,
skin often breaks out in blemishes Your head
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned.
It takes those good, old CARRIERS
LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel "up and up." They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's
Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's
