"To work and to save" Is the remedy for the increasing cost of living, pointed out today by the Federal Reserve board. In reply to an inquiry from the Senate Banking committee, asking If It -were advisable to attempt contraction of currency by legislation in the hope of reducing prices. Governor W. P. G. Harding -wrote to Chairman McLean that the growth in the volume of circulating notes was the effect and not the cause of advancing wages and prices, and that the war period of finances would not be over until Government obligations, now carried by the banks, were absorbed through the actual savings of the people. Strikes Censured Strong censure of strikes and extravagance were implied in Mr. Harding's letter, which did not, however, undertake to blame anyone section of the population, but referred to the nation as a whole, especially to the relaxation of economies practiced during the war and the purchase of nonessential articles by persons enjoying lare inc'jnj.' for the first time. The federal Reserve board believes that any currency, legislation at this time is unnecessary and undesirable," Mr. Harding wrote, "and would suggest that whether viewed from an economical or financial standpoint, the remedy for the present situation is the same,, namely, to work and to save; to work regularly and efficiently, in order to produce and distribue the largest possible volume of commodities, and to exercise resonable economies in order that money, goods and services may be devoted primarily to the liquidation of debt and to the satisfaction of the demand for necessities, rather than to indulge In extravagance or the gratification of a desire for luxuries.

Halpin, of the poultry department of the University of Wisconsin, spent several days recently at La Crosse, Wis., as a guest of Gustave Rhodes, owner of the hen, Biddy, which has puzzled poultry experts by her record of laying an average of twenty-three eggs a week for two months. Professor Halpin 13 convinced that except for her egg laying propensity, Biddy is a normal hen in every way. He has examined her carefully and has observed her actions. One day he saw her lay nine eggs in forty-five minutes, and the next day seven in half an hour. Professor Halpin will exhibit Biddy at county fairs and will ask for a uni versity appropriation to purchase the hen for $2,500. He declares that it would be possible to cross-breed poul-1 try so that hens would ordinarily lay two -or three eggs a day, just as the milk yield of cows has been increased through regulated cross-breeding.

NO HOPE FOR COCCHI, ITALIANS BELIEVE (Ey Associated Press) BOLOGNA, Italy, July 15. Jurymen who sat in the last session of the court, which has been trying Alfredo Cocchi for the murder of Ruth Cruger in New York City have told the Associated Press correspondent that they saw little hope for Cocchi in his dramatic tale in which he accused his own wife of killing the New York girl and admitted he mutilated Miss Cruger's body to protect his wife. The juror said Cocchi's story had robbed him of any pity the jury might otherwise have. "He gained nothing by his dramatic presentation in the court of the affair." said one juryman. "The very description of the incidents were enough to accuse him of disregarding any of the motives he might have had. His tale was certainly well prepared for him. Of course it is certainly his plan to have this trial postponed again and again so that he will be entitled tQ receive his friends and his meals in prison instead of suffering solitary confinement. Gets Another Delay. Cocchi's counsel has obtained another delay in the trial. According to Italian criminal procedure, any convicted man would have deducted from v u.Lru iiiari nuuiu nave utiuulcu iiuiu his sentence all the time he served in i prison prior to nis trial so mat au tne time Cocchi delays the sentence will be much time saved from hard labor and solitary confinement, if he is convicted. "Cocchi knows that he is a doomed man. That is why he is playing for delay." said one juror to The Associated Press correspondent. President Judge Bagnoli, who, according to Italian practice, conducts the cross-examination, there being no private prosecutor present, stated he would use all his powers to bring all the evidence before the jury, requesting, if necessary, witnesses from America.

ORIGINAL DRAFT OF TREATY DIFFERS FROM FINAL, FOUND (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Aug. 11. The original American draft of the league of nations, covenant, sent to foreign relations committee today by President Wilson, contains several provisions widely differing from the league covenant as adopted at Paris. The much debated provision of article ten of the present covenant for guaranteeing the territorial integrity of league members is almost identical with a clause in the American draft. The latter was as follows: "The contracting powers undertakes to respect and to protect as against external aggression the political independence and territorial integrity of all states, members of the league." Many Provisions Are Same. Many of the arbitration provisions are virtually the same in the two dafts. The American drafts also contained the plans finally adopted for a council and a larger assembly and embodies a disarmament program similar to that in the final covenant. It also provided for an economic boycott of covenant breakers. The American plan contained no provision for withdrawal from membership and made no reference to the Monroe doctrine. It also contained a provision not finally accepted under which the league would "inquire into the feasibility of abolishing compulsory military service." There also was a provision in the American lans, omitted from the final draft, which would declare It a fundamental covenant" that no power should overstep international agreements for rights on the high seas. WILSON ASSAILED BY POINDEXTER FOR CREATING DISORDER (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 Criticizing President Wilson today in the senate for his negotiations at Paris, Senator Poindexter, Republican, of Washington, declared that by "general phrases of vague meaning,, the president "had aroused aspirations throughout the world which he is incapable of satisfying." "Quoting from his propaganda," said Senator Poindexter, "the Cummunists demand under threat of revolution that the railroads be given, at public expense into the possession and management of the operatives and employes. "It is as though the president had received the world as a top and proceeded to take it apart in order to reconstruct it on a new plan. Now with the pieces scattered around him, he finds that he as no new way, and that he cannot put it together again, in the old way. He has declared the end of the old order, and substitutes for it, the new disorder." Thomas Pleads For "Different" Church The day of opportunity for Friends is pointed out in the American Friend by Norman Thomas, the chief speaker at the recent Young Friends' conference at Earlham college. "The world may accept the church as a useful ally which is not essentially different from itself in social outlook. It may persecute a church which dares to hold radically different opinions, but it is only a different church which can dare to make a new and different, world, and the signs of the church in this age. are social and ethical," points out Thomas. "It is the tragedy of the times thru the church has not seemed to do that thing," says he, and he mentions somo of the people such as the Czar 'of Russia and the Kaiser, to whom the church has been the handmaiden and the shield in doing their darkest deeds.

CHIEF GIVES RULES FOR HANDLING "GAS"

Never under any circumstances clean gloves, shirtwaists, or any other materials with gasoline, says Edward Miller, city fire chief. The rubbing of goods often produces static electricity and static electricity and gasoline are a dangerous combination, according to Miller. Miller further 6ays that gasoline should never be allowed in a closed room for because the vapor is highly explosive and will readily ignite. The vapor of gasoline is heavier than air and wi'l drop to the. floor and it will travel along the floor of a room until it reaches a flame and then an explosion will happen. Miller recalled the fire that happened recently in one of the local dry cleaning establishments. An employe accidentally kicked over a quart boftle containing gasoline, and the flame from a presser leaped a distance of four feet and ignited the gasoline. Gasoline itself never explodes, it burns, but the gasoline vapor, which is four times as powerful as gunpowder, does the exploding. Miller further says that gasoline is known to have become ignited when a distance of 3S feet from flame. Governor To Meet In Salt Lake City (By Associated Press) MADISON. Wis., Aug. 11.
