NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS House Ratifies Settlement of French Debt?Egypt May Lose Independence. By EDWARD W. PICKARD CO FAR as the house of representn" tives Is concerned, the settlement of the French war debt to the United States which was readied by the * ' nnmtnj?fiiiiT| 11 lilt AlTlhaS luin^u uri-i * sador Berenger is accepted. The Burton bill ratifying the arrangement was passed by a vote of 230 to 112, after ttie house had rejected a motion to recommit with Instructions to the ways and means committee to hold the measure until the funding arrangement is approved by the French parliament. Elghtv-c'ght Democrats voted In negative on the bill, and were Joined by twenty Republicans, two farmer-Lahorites and one Socialist. Fjiftv-one Democrats and one Socialist, voted ii the aflirmatlve with 184 Itepu bilgpiv. The measure now goes to the senate, which, however, will await action by the French parliament. Unless tills is forthcoming within two weeks the senate probably will not pass the bill before next winter, which would be a great disappointment to the administration. The settlement, as ratified In the bill, is estimated by the treasury to be a 50 per cent settlement as comparer! with a 26 per cent settlement with Italy and an 80 per cent settlement with Great Britain, the percentages being based on the proportion of the total principal plus Interest* at 414 per cent to be paid. The debt is to be funded over a 62-year period with no Interest for the first five years, after which interest shall commence at 1 per cent, increasing to 314 per cent In 1965. WITHOUT a record vote the senate passed the house bill designed to build up the army air serv, Ice and creating the office of second assistant secretary of war who would be charged with the supervision of the air corns and the co-ordination of Its activities with other governmental j agencies. The senate also passed the navy air expansion bill, and botn measures went to conference. \ WHITE the senate Judiciary subcommittee was deciding that all prohibition measures should be shelved, there were two outstanding pronouncements on the booze question. Senator Rorah of Idaho, addressing the Presbyterians assembled in Raltimore, came out so strongly in favor of prohibition and against the attempts to weaken enforcement that lie was immediately hailed by the m?st enthusiastic dr.vs as their national leader and a fit man to be nominated for President by the Republicans in HI28.

ALRRItT J. BKVKRIDGE. former senator from Indiana, whose opinions on such matters are always worthy ?f consideration, severely criticized the recent order of President Ooolidge empowering local officers to become agents of the government to help in prohibition enforcement. Mr. Iteverldge was addressing the Historical society of Pennsylvania, and said In part: ''To make local officials also federal officials is In pructical effect to destroy our political subdivisions, or, at the very least, to subject towns, cities, counties and state to a national control centralized at Washington. "The former officer of our regular army who devised this change In the American system and who Is in charee of the execution of it. tells us the constitutional pretext for It. He says that the hitherto exclusive police power of the states Is now shared by the central government. If this military and bureaucratic exposition of constitutional law Is sound, the planners and builders of American Institutions wrought In vain. "It Is obvious that If local officials can be made national officials to execute one national law, they can be made agents of a general and centralized government to enforce other national laws In every locality. If a careful President, like our present chief executive, would use wisely this unlimited and essentially autocratic power, a heedless President might use It recklessly." The house Judiciary committee has asked Attorney General Sargent for an extended opinion on the legality of the President's order, and also has requested Mr. Coolidge to give It an expression of the limits to be placed on the system If It Is legal, the states In which it will be Invoked and the salaries which will be paid to municipal or state officials drafted into the federal service. Representative tinkham of Massachusetts wants the house to Investigate the Anti-Saloon league's capltol pay roll and to compel a disclosure of its congressional campaign exjpenditures. He more than Intimates that the league pays congressmen for Introducing or supporting bills. This Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the league, flatly denies. and he declares the wet organizations are more in need of Investigation than Is the league. CIIARCES and counter-charges made exceedingly lively the closing week of the Republican senatorial primary campaign In Iowa. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania brought to the senate's attention the fact that Brookhart campaign literature had been inserted in franked envelopes with a speech which Reed had made opposing the unseating of Brookhart, and mailed to Iowa voters. Brookhart and ills campaign manager denied responsibility for this and the fonder declared 't was a "frame-up heading ttie earmarks of the Dougherty gang." M^ijor I.und, campaign manager for Brodkhurt, sent tills telegram to Senator Reed of Missouri: "Reports flint Cummins campaign forcqs using an unlimited amount of money, estimated at $500,000, and backed by federal nnd state patronage. State now flooded with paid Cummins workers in districts, counties and even precincts. As striking contrast, we have Brookhart, a poor man, backed only by people of Iowa and campaign committee laboring day and night to conduct a campaign with entire expenditure not exceeding $5,000." Managers for Cummins said their organization was large but that all the workers were contributing their time free. EGYPT may soon lose Its recently acquired Independence and again becoilne a protectorate of Great Britain. At this writing It all seems to depend on Zagloul Pasha, whose party won a great victory In the elections but whose return to the premiership will scarcely be tolerated by the British government. The situation Is agpublle activities, must encourage her In them, must go to conventions with her and help her and the other women In all the ways a man can, as my husband does," Mrs. Charles Sloan of Philadelphia told the Associated Press. Mrs. Sloan pledged $10 from the floor, as she announced, "In honor of an Ideal club husband." "This Is the third big convention which my husband has nttended with hie," she said.

Judge Kershaw. British president of the court, resigned in protest, and the British government lias declared to the Egyptian government that It does not accept the court's Judgment and reserves full liberty to take what steps It considers necessary to protect the safety of foreigners. As a precautionary measure a warship was sent from Malta to Alexandria. Official opinion In London was that the situation was "distinctly grave." The trouble goes back to the murder of Sirdar Sir Lee Stack In November. 1924, by Nationalists. Zagloul, a Nationalist leader, then resigned as premier. He always has been considered unfriendly to Oreat Britain. Some of the murderers of Stack were executed. Those recently acquitted also were accused of this crime and Lord Lloyd, British high commissioner, says the court was so influenced D.v Kagtours electoral victory that It did not dare pass sentence on them, though the evidence of their guilt was complete. Marshal pilsudski didn't want to be president of Poland, after all. He was elected by the national assembly, but declined the honor because he had no confidence In thet people who elected him. He still insisted that the constitution must be changed. Next day the assembly chose for president Prof. Ignatz Mosclckl of Lemburg college, admittedly a simple Instrument In the hands of the dictator. The situation In Poland Is confusing and dangerous. The Warsaw correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says: "Nobody In Poland, even Marshal Pllsudskl's closest friends, can get an expression from him on his program or plans. Nobody In Poland knows from where to expect orders or Instructions. nor where the ship of state Is drifting. The police and pub lie services are becoming demoralized." The opposition to Pltsudski Is growing stronger and bolder dally, and he may be eliminated unless he stages another military coup. WOMEN In attendance at the International Suffrage alliance convention In Paris had a lovely week of scrapping, the main result of which was the victory of the conservative element in the exclusion of the delegates from the National Woman's Party of America. The latter demands equality of all rights for women while the League of Women Voters of America, which won in the struggle. believes the women should be especially protected In Industry by law. The ^Woman's party representatives were supported by a number of liberals from other countries, and later these forced the adoption by the congress of two measures which amount to a demand for equality in certain forms of Industrial legislation. The defeated women, headed by Mrs. Belmont, began laying the foundations for a new International association which, while not hostile to the alliance, will w.ork solely for equal rights In everything. CH)It the first time In history a na^ tive-horn American has captured the British amateur golf championship. Jess Sweetser accomplished this feat in Impressive style at Mulrfleld. Scotland. Then the American Walker cup team, of which Sweetser was a member, went Into action at St. Andrews, winning three of the four two-ball foursomes the first day. The second day the Yankees clinched the possession of the trophy by winning three of the eight individual matches. The British won four and one was all square.

Control i Diseas American Foul-Brood Can Be Controlled by WaterFormalin Solution. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Widespread interest has been aroused throughout the heekeepifig Industry by the apparent success of some recently discovered disinfectant methods In the treatment and control of American foul-brood: Disinfectants surjh as an alcohol-formalin solution are being used witji fair success, and eliminate to a great extent the large losses previously caused by the necessary destruction I of all combs Infected with this dlsj euse of the brood of bees. I The use of the aicorna-uiniiim solution as a disinfectant Is a step In advance in the control of the disease, says the I'nlled States Department of Agriculture, but apparently there is still room for Improvement which will eliminate the danger of occasional cases of failure. For that reason, and because of the great interest In tlie subject, the bee culture laboratory started preliminary work early in l!?lf4 for the purpose of making an exhaustive study of the efficiency of various disinfectants, including tlie commercial alcohol-formalin solution as well as water-formalin solutions. Results or i esxs. A discussion of the results of the tests completed to dute has been published In Department Circular 284, which Is now ready for distribution. It was hoped that the results of the Investigation by laboratory methods would form a basis for practical work in the apiary. As the work has developed, numerous difficulties have been encountered which Indicate that the problem of the perfect sterilization of American foul-brood combs Is neither simple nor yet fully solved. The results obtained with various dilutions of alcohol and of a alcoholformalin solution as the carrier for 20 per cent of their volume of formalin are not sufficiently complete to warrant conclusions as to their relative efficiency. All of these solutions are unsatisfactory, In that they do not completely sterilize all sealed cells In 48 hours. A 20 per cent solution of formalin In wHter. without alcohol. Is slightly less efficient than the alcoholic solutions In sterilizing In 48 hours the contents of sealed cells, beFree Scouring Tests of Wool Samples Are Made Wool growers may have samples of their wools graded and scoured, free of charge, by filing an application with the bureau of agricultural eco nomlcs, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

The applicant will be sent a parcel post mailing suck and Instructions as to the proper method of diuwlng a sample so that it will be representative of any large lot of raw wool In the grease. ! Experiments conducted in the laboratory during the past year have yielded valuubjle information on scourloss or 'shrinkage" of a large variety of domestic raw wools. The results have proved of great Interest to many wool growers and their practical application will enable any producer to obtain a reasonably accurnte estimate of shrlnkuge of his wool. Wool samples submitted to the depart nient will be returned scoured, together with a report of the shrinkage and the grade in which the wool has been classified according to the official wool grades of the United States.

(Prepared by tl.e ITnltod Statu Department rt Agriculture.) "Alfalfa Weevil Control," a new motion picture of the United States Department of Agriculture, gives a gen rrm iueu or now to coinnai tne insert [ and Is of particular Interest In the western states. Alfalfa Is described as the foundation of agriculture In the West?"a hog's dream of heaven"? and as one of the world's most valuable forages. About 1004 or 11)00 the alfalfa weevil, which belongs to the same family us the cotton boll weevil, was discovered In Utah. Since that time It has spread slowly but steadily until now It Is found In seven states. Because of the Importance of the alfalfa crop the alfalfa weevil constitutes a serious menace.

Satisfactory Results. In view of the cultural results obtained, J however, a 20 per cent solution of formalin In water was found the most satisfactory disinfectant for sterlllzipg Infected combs, with regard j both t<^ germicidal action and low j cost, provided the proper precautions j are takW. All honey should be extracted, all brood cuppings should be completely removed, and the combs should jbe treated at least twentyfour hours, or forty-eight hours If it Is foumjl desirable to wash them In I water after treatment. Care piust be taken not1 only with the process of disinfecting combs Infected With American foul-brood, no ?h.i..,* solution or method Is | lUUlifr used, but equal or greater care must be exercised in the treatment of the diseased colonies themselves to eliminate the danger of recurrence of disease from that source. The successful sterilization of the combs will otherwise be of little avail.

The following formula Is enough for about five j acres and) you can make up smaller quantities jaccording to the same proportion : Bran, 20 pounds. Paris grien, 1 pound. Cheap sirup, 2 quarts. Three lemons. Three and one-half gallons water. The bran and parls green are mired dry. The Juice of the lemons Is squeezed Into the water, and the peel and pulp hi chopped to Sne bits and added to the water, then dissolve the sirup It the water and fruit mixture and stir the liquid Into the bran thoroughly In order to dampen It evenly. It fF"suggested that the poison bait be applied In the evening, since cutworms are night feeders, and the bait will thus bf fresher than if It la applied earlle^ in the day. ?__ I One-Third of Limestone Being Used in Illinois Approximately one-t^lrd of all the limestone used In the United States for agricultural purposes Is used by farmers of Illinois, according to F. C. Bauer, chle^ of soils extension at the college of agriculture. University of Illinois. From 1906 to 192.1, approxl- 1 mately 3,600,000 tons of limestone Jiave been iised by farmers of the state, two-thirds of this amount having been us^d In the last five years. Last year al^ne more than 800,000 tons ' were used. The various commercial concerns engaged In furnishing agri cultural limestone have responded to i the growing demand and at the present time are supplying practically all of the limestone used In the state. 1 ]^nn HM^I The best grapes grow from pruned vines. < * * * Lubricating oil Is cheaper than machinery.

(Prepared br the United Siatee Department of Agriculture.) Winter Injury to wiieat causes nearly as heavy losses to that crop as do all wheat diseases combined, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The acreage of winter wheat | annually abandoned, largely because of winter-killing, averaged 9.9 per cent during the 23-year period frora~!l901 to 1922, Inclusive, according to Department Circular No. 378, "Comjiara- j tlve Hardiness of Winter-Wheat Varl- ! eties," Just Issued by the department. During the 14-year period from 190!) to *1922, Inclusive, frosts or freezing caused an average loss of 3.5 per cent of the wheat crop and plant diseases 3.9 per cent, according to crop correspondents of the department. With a view to developing winterwheat varieties of greater hardiness, Investigations were conducted at 20 experiment stations In the United States and Canada during one or more of the six years from 1920 to 1925. Inclusive. In the experiments 45 win ter-wheat varieties and strains were grown In uniform nurseries. Dala as to comparative hardiness show that the varieties Mlnhardi, Buffum No. 17, Mlnturkl and Odessa are considerably more cold resistant thnn the standard Kharkof used as a check Padul, Turkey (Minn. No. 1488), and Belogllna are somewhat more hardy than Kharkof. Kanred and Nebraska. No. 60 are probably slightly hardier than Kharkoflf. Nebraska No. 28 and Blackhull are much less winter hardy than Kharkof. The results obtained in these experiments are being used as a basis for , breeding wheats to combine winter hardiness with other good qualities. | A copy of the circular may be obtained free, as long as the supply lasts, hv u-ritinc to the United States De J o ?- ? partroent of Agriculture, Washington, D.

One Work Horse Needed to Care for 35 Acres How many acres will one horse take care of and how many horses are needed on a 320-acre farm? j Those are questions which are now being studied by economists at the Kansas State Agricultural college, re- ] ports I. N. Chapman. "We have generally believed," Chapman says, "that one work horse Is re- I quired for each 25 to 35 crop acres where no tractor is used, but that | on farms having a tractor one work horse Is needed for 45 to 55 crop | acres. Farmer co-operators working In conunction with the department of ecolomlcs at the college have reported rom various counties the number of j horses used per (arm and the number bf crop acres per work horse. In Lincoln county 14 farmer co- | aperators reported one work horse to j 34 crop acres. Six of the farmers j iwn tractors. In Dickinson county eight co-operators report one work horse for every j 33 acres and Ave of the farmers own tractors. j Washington county with 30 farmers reported showing an average of 26 crop acres per work horse and only four tractors. Morris county with 32 farmers reporting shows an average of 24 crop j acres per work horse with three farm- ! ers using tractors. Chicks Offer Splendid Market for Extra Milk Bahy chicks offer a splendid market j for milk. They make a more steady | growth and keep in better condition en milk than on nny other drink. It is better to give the milk sour. - The lac- ; tic acid of the milk Is a foe to white diarrhea; It Is tonic In Its] effects. Also, the chicks like It better than the sweet, separated milk. The sweet milk has the disadvantage also of gluing the eyes shut If the chicks dip tfi too deep. The breeders who dip each tiny i beak in sour milk as they take the chicks from the incubator are not offering feed so much us introducing lactic acid, and sweet milk doesn't answer this purpose. Applying Spray The delayed dormant spray' Is prlnarily a control for scale insects, b.it iphlds or plant lice are also conrolled If applied at the proper time. )il sprays have come into wide use n delayed dormant spray because oil s especially effective In controlling scale and Is pleasant to apply.
