REVISED COPELAND
BILL IS REPORTED
Fourth Version of Food and
Drug Measure Is Laid
Before Senate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A fourth edition of the Copeland
bill to regulate the advertising and
sale Of food, drugs and cosmetics was
presented to the Senate yesterday
with the approval Of It's Commerce
Committee. Many provisions regarded
as too stringent by manufacturers
had been stricken out.
The measure places broad powers
in the Secretary Of Agriculture to
regulate the three industries In the
interest Of public health, but curtails
some of the power originally proposed
SO his decisions will be subject to
approval of two committees.
Senator Copeland, Democrat, Of
New York, author of the bill, said he
did not expect it to come up for sev-
eral weeks. He left soon after making
the report for a short stay in Florida.
VIII Await Reaction.
He said he would not seek floor
consideration until the revised meas
ure had a chance to "percolate"
through the country.
II am delighted by the committees
action" he commented. IT still think
this is a good bill The amendments
do not affect it adversely, and some
Of them improve it. I never was
keen myself about the section which
listed all the diseases"
He had reference to a clause which
would have prohibited advertisements
of drugs for self medication for list
Of "a enumerated diseases This was
eliminated by the committee.

BETTER PROGRAM
SOUGHT BY HYDE
Former Secretary Urges
Balanced Budget and
Sound Dollar.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTUMWA, Iowa, March 49,
Arthur M Hyde, Secretary of Agri-
culture in the Hoover Cabinet, ap-
pealed here last night for what he
called "a better program" than that
of the Democratic administration.
''It is short" the Tenton, Mo-, at
torney said of his plan in an ad-
dress prepared for the Wapello County
Republican Central Committee. "It
Is in harmony with experience. II
jeopardizes no mans liberty. It is
this: Balance the budget, quit monkey
ing with the dollar; stop squandering
the peoples savings; smash the grow
ing bureaucracy. release individual
initiative; and then get out of the
road.
See Demands Permanent.
"In one short year, powers which
were based upon the economic emer-
gency, which were unconstitutional
if constitutional at all because Of the
emergency-and which were to ex-
pire with the emergency, have come
to be demanded as permanent.
For good or for evil there Is a
vast gulf between relief and revolu
ton. 1t may be the part of patriotism
to acQuiesce in an temporary measure
for relief; it is the imperative duty
OF patriotism to challenge reorganiza-
ton which proposes permanent revo-
lutionary changes.
"Since the objective of the new deal
Il no longer only to bring back pros
perity,' prudence and patriotism alike
demand that American survey the dis
tance and direction already travelled,
and make careful reckoning of our
final destination.
I'm their anxiety to unload their
obligations and their burdens upon
the Federal Government, the States
have unloaded their independence
instead. Enticed by a liberal
outpouring Of Government checks, the
farmer has traded his birthright of
freedom and independence for Gov
eminent control of his production.
Lured by hope of relief from
grinding competition, industry has
surrendered its right to conduct its
own business. ="
Hyde pictured "a RECOMMENDATION of
thought as well as of men," and
added:
mo one has charged that the pro-
posed unified control of communi-
cations agencies were intended as
a censorship, but no one denies that
1t could be corrupted to such a pur-
pose. - Even the temperate state
ment of Lindbergh regarding air mail
was received contemptuously as a
publicity stunt
DupIicity Pictured.
"Over and above all this, does 1t
not SAVIOR of duplicity to boast of fore
ing industry to hire 100000 more
workers at S14 per week when the
Government itself has cut the value
of the dollar, in which 35,000,000
workers are paid, by Al per cent?
If the Governments program for
raising prices succeeds the purchas-
ing power of the dollar of wages for
all workers will be SO cents.
The consumer pays"
The former cabinet member ap-
pealed to his farm belt audience to
nail "over your affairs" quotation
he attributed to former President
Hoover: You cannot extend the
mastery of Government over the daily
lives Of men without somewhere
making it the master of mems souls
and thoughts"

NOV when he said this he heard

voice, I despise you-for a creep

er OF women. On. 90 away-pray
90. Leave me. lest I stifie."
But now. seeing the flaming scorn

now. she stamped her foot. and
pointed 70 the wall Then Barna-
bas laughed softly. savagely, and.
reaching out, caught her up in his
long arms and crushed her to him.
Call If YOU Will, CleOne," said he.
but listen hrstl I said TO you that

SO saying he set her down and
freed her from his embrace. But
my lady, leaning breathless in the
doorway. only looked at him once
froWning a little, painting a little
a long wondering look beneath her
lasheS, and. turning, was gone
among the leaves. Then Barnabas
picked up the broken fan, very
tenderly, and put it into his bosom,
and so sank down into the chair,
his chin propped upon his fist,
frOwning blackly at the glory of the
afternoon.

The thunder crashed as it had never crashed

Barnabas started, and glancing
up, beheld an ancient lady, very
small and very upright: her cheeks
were suspiciously pink. her curls
SuspiciouSly dark and luXuriant, but
her eyes we're wonderfully young
and handsome: one slender nit
tenen hand rested upon the ivory
head of a stick, and in the other
she carried a small fan.
Now, he stareS!" she exclaimed,
as she met his look. "Lud, how he

goblin, instead of only an old
woman with raddled cheeks and a
wig. Oh, yesl I wear a wig. sir,
and very hideous I look without it!

NEW YORK, March 23.-Women's
suit sales are running well above
those of a year ago, though the coat
trade is somewhat less, according TO
Maxwell Copelof. executive director
of the Merchants Ladies Garment
Association, whose 200 members ham
die about 40 per cent of such business
in this city.
With one-third of the month still
to go suit business is much above
that of last March-the period of the
banking holidays Total trade this
year to date is much in excess of
the same period year ago.
The Ladies' Garment Association,
composed of wholesale and manu-
facturers who sell to retail stores
throughout the country, reports bust
ness well distributed in all parts of
the Nation, but especially good in the
rural regions. The South and New
England were mentioned as brisk buy
erS in recent weeks.
January shipments averaged from
35 to rs per cent more in dollars
than in the. same month of 1888.
Some individual increases were as
high as $50 per cent. Business con-
tinued this trend through February
and IN March.
A survey of resident buying Offices
and women's clothing manufacturers
reveals orders placed this week were
the highest for any similar period
since the Spring season opened.
Suits lead, with skirts and blouses
also in good demand Goats offer less
of a delivery problem than the other

Trade Paper Increases.
Bank clearings naturally were above

mercial failures decreased, Indicative
of business expansion also is the
larger volume of commercial paper

the 1888 securities act to permit a
greater flow of long-term capital to

constructive pieces of Washington
business news during the week.
Overtime is the rule in nearly all
wholesale houses handling either
Easter or Springwear merchandise.
Sales are being lost because of delayed
delivery of many items. Despite this
fact wholesale volume during the week
