CONGRESS NEARS END OF HARDING CALL SESSION Few Achievements Recorded and Piles of Work Left Undone. HOME MATTERS SUPREME Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Congress approaches the end of the special session called by President Harding soon after his inauguration with a record of some | achievements, but with much important i legislation still pending. The plan of Republican leaders is to bring the pres- j ent session to an end tomorrow night following adoption of the conference report on the revenue revision bill. BIG TASKS FOR NEXT SESSION. When Congress meets In Its regular session beginning Dec. 5, it will have before it the Fordney tariff bUI, the rail- j road refunding bill, and the foreign debt refunding bill, all pending in the Senate. The revision of the tariff laws probably j will not be completed for another four j months, and in the opinion of some lead- j era should be indefinitely postponed until the economic conditions of the world ; become settled. Already experts of the Treasury Depart-! ment, gathering figures in behalf of the 1 American valuation plan In the Fordney i tariff bill, have encountered many diffl- ; cultles. While there seems to be no disposition to abandon this basis for levying tariff duties the experts are said to have found It nearly impossible In some Instances to arrive at an equitable basis of valuation with respect to same commodities. FARMERS CRY FOB RELIEF. The calling of the special session was Eignalized by demands from business for "less government In business and more business in government’’ and for such legislative action as could be taken to relievo prevailing depression. From agri- j culture came a nation-wide cry for relief. In response. Congress first passed legislation carried over from the last Congress. It passed the Army and Navy appropriations bills, in lhe latter the Borah amendments for a conference on the limitation of armaments, the emergency tariff bill primarily for relief of the farmers; the Immigration suspension bill, and the budget bill. The operation es the budget law will receive a thorough testing In the next session when the appropriations for the next fiscal year will be the chief business before the house. It is expected to place the actual operation of the Government on a genuine business like basis. The wall of the farmers for relief broneht about the organization In both houses of “agricoltTiaal bides” which left their mark In legislation, some- not in ke-’ping with policies of the Administration. They were responsible for legislation extending Government control to the packers and to the stock exchanges and for the high surtaxes in the revenue revision bill. PRESIDENT GETS RKBIEE In the efforts of these groups were the traces of insurgency which an overwhelming Republican majority In both houses seem’d to Invite. They administered the only outstanding rebuke to the President in this session In rejecting his proposal for a compromise on surtaxes. The strength of those groups has been demonstrate 1 throughout the session. In addition to other legislation to aid the farmer Congress passed the administration bill extending Government credit to exporters of farm products, bnl it failed to pat the railroad refunding bill, a a Administration measure to relieve the railroads. The agrarian groups in their fighting have demonstrated again their power. They threaten to open up the whole railroad question when consideration is renewed- Prohibition again had Its inning in consideration of anti-beer b!TL The adoption of this measure, after many changes, demonstrated the overwhelming dry sentiment in Congress. MORE AID TO RAILROAD. In spile of protests against the growing tendency to centralize governmental power In Washington, Congress renewed its aid to railroad building through the Federal road act and entered upon anew field and the Sheppard-Towner maternity and infancy bill which was sent to the President yesterday. With respect to the latter bill. Congress experienced for the first time since adoption of the nineteenth amendment the Influence of women upon legislation. DOMESTIC QUESTIONS PARAMOUNT. Domestic questions were paramount in this session of Congress, with the adoption early of the Knox peace resolution ending the technical state of war let ween the United States and Germany. The Panama Canal tolls bill passed the Senate after a short debate and rests qnletly in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. While the armaments conference continues to be a matter primarily of executive effort. Congress will continue to fix its attention primarily on internal matters.— I Copyright, 11)21, by I’nblic Ledger Company.

Experts on East From Over World Summoned by U. S. to Conference

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RAYMOND G. CARROLL. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The longer one is hero the more certain one becomes that Washington is Just an office. Walking nervously up and down the room Is government, a bulky form with a relentless tread. In one corner stands the Nation’s filing cabinet; tier upon tier of the records of the work done since 177(5. There Is the waste basket into which have been tossed all the unrealized hopes; bills that died in legislative committees, or by executive veto and the many expressions of human endeavor that perished at the very threshhold of realization. On the flat-top desk in the center of the room *is a heaping basset containing the work of moment, the burning issues pending by Congress. The Supreme Court and tbe President, in short, all the business of the Nation, and last, but of world-wide importance, the armament limitation conference. In the same general sort of way one might designate New York as a checkroom, Denver as a sanitarium. Los Angeles as a holiday and so on. But let us keep to Washington, now past the close of the first week in the greatest conference ever held In tbe memory of man, a meeting face-to face of nine nations pledged to "ground arms” and lift the burden of taxation everywhere there are people. WHO ARE “GO GETTERS?” Who have been the American "gogetters?” We have all been filled vv'th pride at America’s grand opening at the international horse show, and been told of the splendid team work between the President and the American "big four.” But after all the erudite Hughes, the scholarly Lodge, the learned Root and the practical Underwood have been only the sum of Information placed in their hands. As great as was Marshal Foch, we cannot forget he had a Chief of Staff Weygand, who coordinated tbo minds of Haig, Diaz. Pershing and thousands of others all the way down to the first lino private soldleT. It Is quite the snmo in this battle of peace. All that appears on the surface of the American machine In the new Navy building are messengers swiftly passing from room to room, building to building. Some carry bulky packages, others letters. There is heard also that the constant ringing dt innumerable telephones, heads of bureau la departments calling up factors of the American delegation. Taen, through it all wo hear from the outside corridor the dreary drone of endless dictation and ' the monotonous clicking of many type-' writers. It Is the rustle of our “go-getters” stalking in the grass of a war-weary world. Complicated as the American machine for armament limitation may seem, It is a besTutiful piece of assembling, well-oiled, machinery and best of all, it "takes yon there and brings you back,” which, I believe, is the test of anything mechanical Every sort and kind of a mind forms its parts; experience in. state craft, economics, international law, travel, war on land, war at sea, war iu the air—everything of moment In contacts between peoples. COLLEGE MEN TO FORE. t Passing the names of the American delegates plenipotentiary and their advisory committee of twenty-one members, we shall delve at onee into t personnel of the secretariat. Basil Milos Is secretary of the delegation. He is a short, bow-legged man of courtly manner Just baek from a trip around the world. Dnr- ; ing the war ha was chief of the Russian I division In the Department of State, ! previously having been connected with the American legation In rotrograd. He lb-es in Washington and Is a great lover of dogs having fine kennels of English sheep dogs and Russian wolf hounds. J. •Butler Wright, a counselor of the delegation, recently returned from London. He Is a tail, dignified personage who somehow always can find tiina to do a favor if the cause Is deserved. In contrast to Mr. Butler's knowledge on British affairs we have another counselor, Edward Bell, a little bald man with a black moustache Just back from a year in our embassy at Tokio. He is a walking Index of the last moves on the Asiatic checker board. Before going furtba* we must mention John W. Gnrrett, secretary general of the conference,

who is the liaison between the United States and tho other countries represented He has\a beard, is lame, but possesses great tael. His homo is at Princeton, where he keeps one of the finest collections of coins in the world; He also is the owner of 20,000 rare prints which he placed for the pleasure of everybody In the Congressional Library. Among those who belong up in front with the plug hats are Philip H. Patchin of San Francisco and Henry Suydam of Brooklyn, two former journalists and the latter distinguished war correspondent. Messrs. Patchin and Suydam, ns secretaries of the delegation, have the faculty of looking at everything done or going to bo done from tho outside in rather than from the inside out. Instead of Just fifty writers attending the conference as would have been tho cage if or.-, sessions had been hold in the P-' American Union building they requisitioned the Daughters of the American Revolution building and gave 500 Journalists a chance to seo this wicked old world turn anew leaf. AUTHOR OF BOOK ON EAST. W. P. Cresson, another secretary, has been an architect In Washington and a cowboy in Nevada. He afterward entered the diplomatic service, and put in periods at Lima, London, Lisbon and Petrograd. He is author of "The Awakening East.” The other secretaries include T. L. Daniels, Warden McKee Wilson, son of Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassador to Mexico; J. O. Denby, nephew of Secretary of the Navy Denby; John M. Vorys, Lithgow Osborne, Seth Low I’iorrepont, $. G. D. Paul, and Jefferson Patterson, all Americans who are Mp on their toes. Now we shall see what sort of timber has been selected for members off tbo technical staff of the delegation. Leading off for the State Department we have Henry P. Fletcher, who has been announced ns the next ambassador to Belgium. His associate and Josephua Rueben Clark, a lawyer rich In experience. He was a student at the University of Utah and became professor ot law at George Washington University. Eleven years ago, we find him solicitor of the State Department and later president i Taft sent him to the Hague Peace Conference. He lives in New York. The experts for tho Navy Department

We Believe in Indianapolis Metal-Working Machines Fourteen years ago, there were no metalworking machines made in Indianapolis. Today, the city i3 known all over the civilized world for its turret lathes and meial-grinding machines Three Indianapolis factories specializing in machines of this type have an annual payroll of over half a million dollars and a yearly output in excess of $1,500,000. Great machine shops and metal-handling plants of international fame in England, France, Italy, Russia, China, Japan, India, and other foreign countries, not even excepting Germany, the land which for years advertised itself as the leader in tho production of iron and steel products, depend on these Indianapolis-made machines to speed up their production, increase the precision, and lower the cost of their metalshaping and grinding. A single Indianapolis turret lathe will bore, face, turn and form metal parts, doing at one time work that formerly required as many as eight different operations.

Much Suffering Caused by Waste Products in the Blood What Science Knows About the Matter and How It Is Best Treated.

The blood is more important than any of the organs. It is thru the blood that the whole human body is directly or Indirectly nourished. The blood gets its nourishment from the intestines. The intestines also contain waste products—undigested foods, acids, gases and refuse, which sometimes get in the blood. When waste prodifcts get in the blood, nature will strive to cast them out. If your resistance is strong enough, nature will probably succeed. But if you are "below par," weak, run-down, and nervous, nature will begin to show signs of distress. Asa result, you will have that feeling of fatigue. You will lack the energy you need for the day’s duties and pleasure. Minor ailments will begin to affect you—pimples, black-' heads, and boils. If the waste products are not gotout of the Mood at this point, His possible a more serious skin

Coontz is the chief navy expert defending the proposed curtailment, with Rear Admiral William A. Moffett filling in with data on aeronautics and Captains Frank H. Schofield and Samuel W. Bryant making tight the loose ends. As for the army experts they have had a fairly .easy time since the Navy took tho bit at the opening. They have had to put in their knowledge on military intelligence and organization of armies in the Far East. Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Heintzelman has been the mainstay of the delegation in that respect, with MaJ. Gen. C. C. Williams submitting figures on ordnance. Brig. Gen. Amos A. Fries on chemical warfare, and others on communication, aviation radio and electrically communications generally. Prof. Edgar F. Smith of tho University of Pennsylvania Is a distinguished figure in the Army background on matters of chemical warfare. MANY EXPERTS AT COMMAND.

The United States entered the discussion on the Pacific and the Orient with an equipment of experts and advisors. John Van A. Mac Murray is the State Department chief of the division of Far Eastern affairs. His two-volume work, "Treaties and Agreements with and Concerning China,” is accepted os a standard. D. C. Poole, chief of the division of Russian affairs in the State Department. Ho was formerly copsul general nt Moscow, later went as charge d’affaires to Archangel. M. T. Johnson of the State Department both speaks and reads Chinese and is a perambulating encyclopedia of the Far East. Another treasure among the American "go-getters ’ is Prof. E. T. Williams of CaUfornia, who has lived twenty-five years In China, and also both speaks and reads Chinese. Professor G. 11. Blakeslee of Clark University is our specialist on mandated islands of the Pacific such as Yap. Stanley K. Hornbeck brings to the Americans his experience in the discussions at the Paris peace conference. He Is a Rhodes scholar, was a professor nt the University of Wisconsin and since the armistice spent a year in the Far East. J. S. Abbott, another adviser has been our commercial attache at Tokio and this spring made a tour Into Asia as far as Clilta. F. P. Lockhart is another dependable of the State Department who has recently been In Japan and China. Other advisers on Aslatlc'questtons are Robert Leonard and J. L. Donaldson.
