There is some possibility that these in creaseS will be reduced while certain differences are being ir- oned out of the bill in Conference, and to forestall such action Del egate Dimond has talked with as many members of the conferen- ce committee as has been possi-' ble and explained the necessity for the items in their present di1loulltS.

TOWER SPANS HISTORY

LONDON, June 27.-In the Tower
Of London, the visitor to the British
Isles sees a relic which looks back
upon nearly the full length of Eng
lands history. 1t is rich in contin-
uous associations AS a royal palace
1t outdates the Kremlin in Moscow,
the Doge's Palace in Venice, the an
cient Seraglio in Stamboul and the
Louvre in Paris.
The White Tower, from which the
castle derives its name, was built by
William of Normandy-the Con
oueror." The work was begun in the
year 1918. 1t rises to a height of 80
feet and its walls are from IL to Is
feet thick. All four sides are of diff
ferent lengths and there is not a
corner angle which a careful surveyor
would pass as correct.

SCOTS INSPIRED
FAME BY Jokes
Canny Device Perpetuates
Interest in Country of
the Heather.

ABERDEEN, Scotland. June 27.-
If any other country had been SIAN
dered as much as Scotland has, by
people who have never visited 1t. 1t
would have disappeared from the map
long ago. The English-speaking world
Is flooded with humor about the thrift
of those who live in Aberdeen, but the
joke is on those who do not live there.
Practically all those jokes originate
In Aberdeen itself and are perpetrated
from motives as devoid of simplicity as
those which once prompted manu-
facturer Of low-priced automobiles to
encourage stories about his product.
Whatever the attractions of Scot
land to travellers, one never escapes
the conviction that most people go
there to see the Scots themselves.
Scotland has delightful mountains,
exquisite lakes and a coast of fjords
and sea-washed islands, but one finds
that affection for the land was first
stimulated not by Prince Street, Edin-
burgh, or by Loch Lomond. the Tros-
sachs or Ben Nevis, but by people;
stouthearted men who have captained
lost causes, lassies whose beauty has
been sung wherever poetry has been
set to music. warriors whose heroism
has become legend, philosophers who
have left Wisdom-sometimes dry and
dour, but wisdom, nevertheless.
Surprises for Traveller.
1t is surprise to the traveller to
note that the Land of the Clans lies
in the same latitude as Labrador. Hud-
son Bay. Southern Alaska and Siberia
lands Of frozen soil, icebergs and
dreary wastes of intense cold Though
its northern coasts are but a few
miles from the Arctic Circle, it bears
no resemblance to the ice bound coun-
tries just mentioned. In Blairkowrie,
the fruit garden of Scotia" rasp-
berries and strawberries are Sweeter
than those which We eat in America S
Southern States.
At Stranraer, which on clear days
winks % miles across the sea to Ire
land, one can eat the cream which
made Devonshire famous, and butter
ones bread with butter that would
make even Denmark envious. At St.
Fillans tulip trees flourish, at Kirk
dale arbutus flowers are as fine as
those in some New England wood, and
over the moors for 800 miles purplish
heather, Scotch heather, blooms.
Blue Laws Against Golf.
It seems that Nature used all her
powers to make.Scotland an ideal land
for golf, and golf is the only thing
which has ever seriously menaced the
religion Of the Scots. Edicts and laws
were made against the ancient and
royal game, but to no purpose. They
were so scorned that no one has ever
troubled to repeal them. Scotland
is just one nature-formed golf course
from John o'Groats TO the Tweed, and
a foursome sounds too puny to de-
scribe the thousands of rich and poor
who follow the little white witch"
over its moors.
Spectators turn out to see a golf
game in Scotland in much the same
fashion as Americans fill bleachers
to see base ball games, and the players
in matches are followed by hundreds
OF silent and tense men and women,
who tramp from green TO green to see
the play. Gleneagles and ST. Andrews

have, Of course, made golf known all
over the world, but the world will not
really know golf until 1t has played
1t, not only at Gleneagles and st.
Andrews, but over the hundreds of
wild nloorlands Of Scotland.

Virginia today sought to prevent
the Texans appearance.
It was learned today that the
fiery virginian figuratively burned
up the wires in the Senate Office
Building when he heard that the
subcommittee was considering
granting the request.
Senator Glass called Senator
Elmer Thomas (D.) of Oklahoma,
chairman of the subcommittee,
and bitterly protested against al
lowing the Representative to ap-
pear. It is said that he stated
flatly that the Texan would not
get a chance to appear before the
full Senate Appropriations Com
mittee and that if he were allowed
to appear before the subcommit-
tee, Senator Glass would not be
present.
The matter came to a climax
late yesterday when it became
known that other members Of the
House accepted the Texans re-
quest as a challenge to carry the
fight over the DISTRICT bill to the
