WASHINGTON.—'"The farm bloc

Kansas, new leader of the agricultural
bloc in the United States senate, who

Lloyd George may have to resign

! London. This time the row In the cab-
inet Is over E. S. Montagu, (portrait
herewith) who, until now, has been
, secretary of state for India. The In-
j ti la government made demands for the
j restoration of Turkey, thus trying to
dictate a Turkish policy to the home
government. Mr. Montagu authorized
the publication of the memorandum
without consulting any of his cabinet
colleagues and without their knowl-
senate, revising the valuation powerv
of the I. C. C., reducing by about three
billions the present recognized valua-
tion of the railways. There Is no doubt
that the value now recognized is far
In excess of real values.
"Next to the matter of transporta-
tion Is the question of agricultural
credits. We are Just now getting
shaped up a new credit bill. It Is based
on the findings of the Joint agricul-
tural commission, which would set up
new machinery for more adequate
credit facilities through the federal
farm loan board.

Quick punishment followed. Aus-
ten Chamberlain, the government's
speaker in the house of commons, an-
nounced in parliament that Montagu
had resigned and that his resignation
has been accepted.
Mr. Chamberlain was studiously

understood that there Is every pos-
sibility that Lord Reading may have Honin. .. flirp#

ANEW naturalization and registra-

introduced in the house by Repre-

an annual fee of $5.
Moneys collected are to be set aside
as a "citizenship Instruction fund"
under control of the secretary of labor
for proportionate allocation of public
schools, to pay salaries of public school
teachers in citizenship classes organ-

The bill would eliminate all appear-

hearings, thereby saving annually the
useless and unnecessary cash outlay
of $7,250,000 by applicants and the eco-
nomic costs of more than $5,750,000
which now Is Imposed annually on
more than BflO.OOO citizens, employers
and employees.
The measure provides Independent
naturalization of married women and
retention of /imerlcan citizenship by
resident American women who marry
foreigners. It gives uniform exemption
to veteruns of all wars In American
forces and recognizes those serving In
the forces of America's allies during
the World war.
Golden Shears for Secretary Hughes
NEWSPAPER correspondents at the
capital the other day presented
to Secretary of State Hughes a pair
of gold desk shears In token of their
appreciation for his "kindly assistance
to them in their work" since assuming
office. Why shears? Because, Atropos,

Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, prom-
inent New York society woman, sculp-

to give a notable and Interesting con-
tribution to American art when she
perfects In stone the proposed statue
of Col. William F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody.
for which the state legislature of
Wyoming has appropriated the cost
and which will be erected at Cody,
Wyo., In honor of the historical Amer-
ican figure, after whom the town was
named.
Mrs. Whitney will pay a visit to
Cody In the near future for the pur-
pose of determining which kind of
stone will lend Itself most effective-
ly to the light and surroundings of
the proposed monument.
Sixty years ago Buffalo Bill hurst
forth Into great prominence when he
spent thousands of dollars on the Ir-
rigation of lands In Wyoming which
he always held "would make the des-
ert bloom." The money which Colonel Cody expended In irrigating
posed waste lands of Wyoming he made from his Wild West show.

Lord Rlddell's presence at the
arms conference was explained by the
title, "chief liaison official of the Brit-
ish delegation and the press." In
plain English he was the head publici-
ty agent of the British. And he cer-
tainly knew his business as a press
agent. And he is a big man and a
very smooth patty to boot. Here are
some of his sayings; they show he
kept his eyes and ears open:
"It would take me twenty years
to know you people.
"Americans are not only hospit-
able, but kindly and appreciative,
w'hiqh Is a different thing.
"America is still a young coun-
try, full of Interest In Itself and full
of hope and high aspirations for the
future.
"At the back of their minds Amer-
icans believe that the Old World is on
the wane and that America Is destined
. to take Its place.

Mrs. Perkins was reading the paper.
Suddenly she exclaimed:
"Here's sad news. It seems a Mrs,
Smith, who had Just engaged our old
cook. Mary Casey, was run down and
killed by a motorcar on her way home
from the employment office."
"Well," commented Mr. Perkins upon
due reflection, "she had a narrow es-
cape from Mary."
Built by Boy Scouts.
The lodge house of the W. W. W.
at Treasure Island Is said to be the
finest building ever erected by the boy
scouts anywhere. The work was done
entirely by the scouts and It Is a proof
of the value and permanency of the
order. The building Is about 30 by
45, feet, two stories high with two
large porches. It will be filled with

Peace Hath Victories as Well as War
* . . l .uu. «irif>ritdhoa rutnnuiffna unc
VICTORIES of peace and public
service are to be entered on the
records of marines alongside the en-
tries for service in war and equal
credit Is to be given for ea'-h. accord-
ing to a new policy outlined in a re-
cent order of Major General John A.
' Lejeune. commandant of the marine
corps.
The order relates to the members
of the marine corps who took part
•o the perilous work of rescuing the
.mprlsoned and injured at the Knick-
erbocker theater disaster and directs
that a commendatory notation simi-
lar to the marking of credit given for
participating in battle be entered in

in battles, skirmishes, campaigns and
other warlike enterprises.
According to General Lejeune this
policy Is based on a theory which
has seldom been considered In con-
nection with the military service,
namely, that the marine corps exists
not only to serve the nation In war,
but to constitute a reserve of edu-
cated. trained, technical men ready
to come to the aid of the country In
any manner In which their services
may be needed in emergencies of
peace.
An apt illustration of the manner
In which the corps' new policy has
put all marines "on their toes" to
serve the nation whenever needed. Is
furnished in the happenings of the
collapse of the Knickerbocker thea-
ter. The roof of the ill-fated build-
ing fell shortly after 8 o'clock on the
evening of January 28. Within a
quarter of an hour more than 200
marines with trucks containing Jacks,
acetylene torches and other devices
were bucking their way through the
heavy snow to the scene of the aerl-
dent two miles away. Their work on.
arrival Is too well known all over the
country to need retelling. The ejacula_
tion of one of the survivors: Thank
God for the marines!" sums up pubUs
sentiment In a sentence.
Title Means Little to Chicago Lawyer
Earldoms and titles mean little
to Cyril Woodward Clubley Armstrong,
Chicago attorney and reputed heir to
an earldom and a fortune of a quarter
of a million dollars—of which he has
Just been apprized.
"You see." he said, "those tithes
of the British nobility mean little. To
my mind the only title worth having
Is one which one wins with his own
endeavor."
Mr. Armstrong was notified that
his brother, Capt. St. John Shelver-
ton of Nairebl, Africa, had made a
request on the State department at
Washington to find him. Captain
Shelvertou stated he had not heard
from his brother for many years and
that by the law of primogeniture Mr.
Armstrong had fallen heir to an earl-
dom and approximately $250,000.
"I have little knowledge as to the
earldom I may have come Into," he
, — contluued. "There are several

In a factory devoted exclusively to manufactur-
ing Goodyear Tires for small cars, the two tires
illustrated above are made.
One is the famous 30x3# Goodyear All-Weather
Tread Clincher.
By long wear, superior traction, freedom from
skidding, and ultimate economy, the Goodyear
All-Weather Tread has won unquestioned
leadership.
As a companion to this tire there is the Goodyear
30 x Cross Rib.
Built of the same high grade Egyptian fabric and
with a long wearing but differently designed
tread, this tire offers unusual value.
Over 5,000,000 of these tires have been sold in
the last five years.
Their quality and serviceability have proved to
thousands of motorists the folly of buying un-
known and unguaranteed tires of lower price.
Ask your Goodyear Service Station Dealer to
explain their advantages.
