HE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL SENT BACK TO HOUSE BY: SENATE WASHINGTON. July 7. Although agreeing to the bulk of the provisions t In the $409,000,000 naval appropriation bill as voted recently by the house in attempting to dispose of differences between the two bodies, the senate "Wednesday refused to yield on 19 amendments and sent the measure back to the house with a request for further conferences. The amendments on which the senate declined to recede include provisions for two airplane carriers, aviation stations and increased expenditures for battleships under construction. Must Meet Deficit. Leaders had not determined last night how to meet the technical deficit in funds for the navy building from the lapse of appropriations with the close of the fiscal year, June 30. It might be necessary, it was said, to adopt a resolution continuing last year's appropriations temporarily until the Tionrlinfi- hill ia ennr.ted. OnlV a

few days, however, it was believed, would be required to wind up the bill finally, and leaders were hopeful of avoiding the expedient of a continuing resolution. Among the major provisions of the bill disposed of finally by the senate's action today on the conference report were the Borah disarmament amendment and that fixing the navy enlisted personnel at 106,000 men. - Construction at 25 Per Cent. Senator Poindexter told the senate he had been informed by the navy department that the limitation placed in appropriations for new construction would require slowing down of battleship construction to 25 per cent of available capacity of yards. Senators Brandegee, Republican, of Connecticut, and King, Democrat, of Utah, deplored elimination of the Mclean amendment for six new subuiarines. Senator King urges congressional investigation of submarines, declaring many were obsolete and others had engines lacking sufficient power to enable them to accompany the fleet.

American Legion

i (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., Ju:y 7. The Ohio American Legion, by authority of the state executive committee, has set five objectives for each of the 519 posts of the state, to carry before the state convention of the legion next September. They are: Fifty per cent increase In paid-up

membership, over the membership for

last year, or 75 per cent of the eligible persons in the community. Every post have a unit of the auxiliary. . . , Every post be behind at least one community project.

Every post have a permanent meet

ing place.

Using a basis of 100 per cent, a possible 20 per cent for the carrying of each of the objectives, the grades of posts will be made out and published from time to time between this time and the state convention, at which every post rated at 100 per cent will be awarded a lithographed "citation" for meritorious service, which will be suitable for framing. Legionnaires are urged to carry the

objectives as they did when so commanded in the World war.

CHINCH BUGS CAUSE ENORMOUS DAMAGE

LAFAYETTE, Ind.,- July 7. More than half the counties of Indiana are infested with the chinch bug, according to Prof. J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department of Purdue university, who has visited many parts

of the state, and assisted county ag-,

ents in conducting control demonstra

tions. "JVhile the bugs have spent their force in many counties, they will still cause a lot of damage in many counties, and continual work is necessary to control them," said Prof. Davis. "As they mature, they get wings and will fly to neighboring fields and lay eggs for a second brood which will scatter through the corn later in the season." Prof. Davis declined to estimate the losses caused by the bugs this year, but said it would run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even larger numbers will appear next year, he says, unless fence rows and other infested regions are burned over this winter.

State Highways Marked By Stenciled Poles INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July i. All State highways in Indiana are ranidlv

being marked by numbers which, in

me opinion or tne director and members of the hiehwav ervnrmissinn will

be a great aid to travelers, local and interstate. Telephone poles on each side of the road are stenciled, "State Road No. , Indiana." New maps designate highways by number and by consultation of a map tourists are informed where highways lead, through what' counties and to what

county seats ana towns. According to Lawrence Lyons, department director, a stencil is to be placed about every 1,000 feet and alternate from either side of the road.

Picture at Murrette Dedicated to Rotarians "That Something." the book exemplifying the motto of the Rotary club. "He Profits Most Who Serves Best," has been filmed and is now showing at the Murrette theatre. Through the efforts of the Seattle Rotary Club the story was dedicated to the Rotary Clubs of the world. The book was written by W. W. Woodbridge. and its first copy came off the press less than a year ago. Since that time, however, the book has run into 10 editions. It is said that the story has but one aim to depict life and truth as it is experienced. "That Something" picks up the broken threads of a youth's life at the point where, on account of prodigalities and follies he is shown the door by an outraged and disappointed father. Before he finds "that something." the young man reaches the depths. It isn't the love of a good woman, nor ambition, nor pride, nor filial affection, nor a sense of duty, nor even religion that brings about bis regeneration and the regeneration of the girl whom he loves. It is "that something," which is divulged in this remarkable picture-play and which, resident in all mankind is their's to command if only they choose. "That Something" promises to he the talk of the picture-world and to exert a tremendous influence on the minds and hearts of the present generation.

Only about 11 per cent of New York state's girl workers are members of trade unions.

Find Treated Wheat

Is Free From Smut RUSHVILLE, Ind.. July 7. Practically complete elimination of wheat smut from treated seed is shown by an investigation of wheat fields here sown from treated seed. Such fields show only a trace of smut infection, while other fields, sown from the same lots of seed which had received no treatment, showed as high as 24 per cent of infection. The treating plant has been installed only a little over a year, and this is the second harvest from seed treated by it. On account of the abnormally dry season, which caused serious malting of the swollen treated grain, the increase in yield of the treated plats over the untreated, will not be so great this year as lasT, but indications point to much better quality for the treated wheat. In a normal season, the yield also will be materially larger. A number of farmers who used treated seed have contracted all their product for sale as seed, and it is hardly possible to fill the demand for smut free seed.

PUSH MAINTENANCE ! OF STATE HIGHWAYS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 7. The work of maintaining state roads in Indiana is to be pushed with all possible speed, according to announcement by Lawrence Lyons, state high: way department director.

The department recently received

from the federal government 35 cat

erpillar tractors and each of these is! now engaged in hauling a big grader; on the roads. As farmers along state!

roads are moving their fences back to new lines established by department engineers to make the distance from fence to fence 50 feet, road crews are opening ditches for a system of complete drainage on roads, as one of the points in highway main

tenance the commission is insistent on, and a well drained highway serviceable the year around, is the initial step for an improved system throughout the Hoosier domain. The present work of road maintenance and widening and ditching along highways in this state is being done with funds obtained by automobile

and inheritance taxes and monies obtained by direct tax and road levy, department officials say.

The supervisor of the Cascade national forest in Oregon has engaged a number of women for duty as firs lookouts. The women will dwell in lonely cabfns on the high mountain peaks.

PICKFORD-MOORE DIVORCE APPEAL LIMIT FIXED RENO, Nev.. July 7. District Judge Langan at Minden Wednesday gave the attorney general until Tuesday to file his bill of exceptions to the decisions upholding Mary Pickford's divorce from Owen Moore. This is the preliminary step to an appeal to the state supreme court by the state's attorney general.

MEN TO WEAR "BROGUES": LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES CHICAGO, July 7. Men's shoe styles for fall will be heavy "brogue" with a strap instead of lace front, according to J. Kalisky. president of the Shoe Travelers' association of Chicago, in convention Wednesday. Mr. Kalisky added that shoe prices were unlikely to drop "for some time to come," as they have already dropped about 30 per cent of wartime prices.

PRESIDENT HARDING in a recent address declared that "one of the greatest economic problems, if not the greatest, is distribution. There can be no doubt of the position of the good roads movement in the solution of the problem. I believe that Federal and State Governments must not only create good roads but they must insist upon the maintenance of good roads. A good road gone wrong is a streak of memorial to neglect and waste. The roads we build must be built for use in the distribution of products rather than for merely pleasure riding. We must foster the use of motor trucks." The expression of the chief executive of our nation is but a confirmation of the experiences of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in the conduct of its business. The problems of distribution are of paramount importance and in effecting this distribution, good roads are a pri- . mary essential. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has in operation more than 4000 motor trucks engaged in distributing gasoline, kerosene and lubricating oils to ultimate consumers in 11 Middle Western States. It is the business of this department to attempt to furnish Standard Oil products to whoever may require them, wherever he may live. To supplement the tank wagon, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains a network of service stations, located on the main traveled highways, every few miles in the country and every few blocks in the city. Through its highly specialized organization, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) manufactures from crude petroleum the three factors necessary to a solution of the problems of distribution. Stanolind Paving Asphalt for good roads enduring roads. Red Crown, the high-grade gasoline, for power tremendous power. Polarine, the perfect motor oil, for lubricationcorrect lubrication. In the manufacture of these products, the Company has set as a measure of value, specifications which it believes insure the user the utmost of service at a rninimum of expense. Its products are made to exact standards, and these standards are based upon a careful, exhaustive study of the conditions under which they will be used. All are uniform in quality and go to the consumer with the Company's guarantee that they are exactly as represented. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111.
