HARDING TAKES PLEA FOR WORLD COURT DIRECT TO PEOPLE
TILT OVER TO MEASURE LOOMS IN LOWER HOUSE Women Gather in Lobbies to Await Action on Storm Center, Despite insistence of women political leaders, the so-called "fiftyfifty” bill was not handed down in the House today. The bill provides for equal participation of women with men in political party organizations. Many women were in the lobbies and around the floor of the House, but not a word about the bill was said from the floor. The session was half an hour late in starting due to conferences in Speaker Morgan’s room. It is understood the conferences had to do with the “fifty-fifty” bill. The measure i3 ready for second reading and if it is passed before the ires lion closes tonight it must be passed under suspended rules. That a fight on the bill would occur before adjournment appeared certain. Difficulties started when the bill could not be found after a demand that it be brought down for second reading in the House Saturday. A resolution was passed asking that a certified copy b sent from the Senate. When the copy was received, sufficient members had left the House to break the quorum and adjournment was forced. "Hold Until ” Then the women back of the bill got busy. It was charged that a certain Republican leader had made the statement the measure would be passed only over his dead body. Mrs. Mary Stover Hay, vice chairman of the Lake County Republican committee, asserted she had a photograph of a note said to have been pinned to the bill, reading: "Hold until hell freezes over.” The photograph was said to be under cover, to be used only if necessary. Speaker Raymond C. Morgan went to South Bend Saturday to attend a bar association meeting. His departure and the disappearance of the biil were almost simultaneous. A telegram was sent to Morgan tisking him about it. He replied the bill was in j his desk. Lyons Denies Charge Then charges were made by Miss Helen Benbridge, Republican woman chairman of Vigo County, that Mrs. Walter C. Greenough, State president of the League of Women Voters: Mrs. C. A. Carlisle, State chairman, and Miss Benbridge had b-<’:. approached wit ha proposition that if they would

If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat no swee's for awhile, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this Impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this toxic acid, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the- system. tling in the joints augf A'

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
President Asks Support in Effort to Secure American Entrance Into Hague Tribunal of International Justice, By United Press WASHINGTON, March s.—President Harding today asked the American people to support him ni his efforts to secure American entrance into the permanent. court of international justice. In a letter to Lieutenant Governor Bloom of Ohio in response to a resolution of the Ohio assembly commending his stand for American participation in the court, the executive said during the recess of Congress he intends to attempt to swing American public opinion overwhelmingly in favor of such a step.
“It is inconceivable to me that the American people, who have so long teen devoted to this ideal should refuse their adherence now to such a program as is represented by this tribunal,” the President wrote. Important Step” “I feel that the adhesion of our country to the program and purposes of the court of international justice •would represent a long and important step toward the assumption of those proper and entirely safe relationships to international affairs which should be borne by such a country as our own.” The President stated that his request of tho Senate had not been made without “the most thorough and mature deliberation.” “Those who are at this time Invested with the direction of the in tcrnational relations of our country are firmly convinced that this move not only would represent tho wise policy of our own people, but It would be an emphatic testimony of our

Sovereignty Unimpaired President Harding gave assurances that there was “no idea of this Government surrendering any of its control over its own fundamental rights and destinies. “I look upon the establishment of the court of international justice, with the jurisdiction that has been given to it as one of tho greatest advances which world society has made toward conditions in which at last the rule of Jaw may be substituted for the rule of force. “It looks to the settlement of Issues before they become dangerously acute: It contemplates the elimination of the causes of conflict nnd war.
