RECOMMEND GARDENS TO COMBAT RADICAL TENDENCIES IN U. S. (By Associated Pres NEW YORK. Jan. 30. Planing of gardens, both flower and vegetable, as a means of combatting radicalism and to make a "nation beautiful." has been assured through the efforts of the General Federation of Women's clubs. President Harding and other high government officials have given their official sanction to the movement. National Garden Week, as the movement has been named, "will be observed during May. although the exact date has not been fixed. Women's clubs in all sections of the United States will co-operate with civic organizations and schools in the planting and cultivation of gardens, and special lectures are contemplated.

Work To Be Done. City officials will be urged to Join in the program by enlarging or improving civic parks. Another phase will be the urging of the preservation of natural beauty spots. National economy will be another result, Jt was said.

''"it IMMEDIATE REDUCTION IN DANISH EXPENSES IS ASKED BY CHANCELLOR (By Associated Press) . pOPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 30. An insight into Danish finances 13 to be found in a recent speech in (he Rigsdag by the chancellor of the exchequer. He says the situation is by no means enviable, and he calls for immediate reductions in state expenditures as preferable to increased taxation. The expenditures of Denmark have risen enormously since 1913, according to a Danish economist. Ten years ago the annual total income of Danish citizens amounted to 775,000,000 crowns, of which 82,000,000, or a little more than 10 percent, were paid to the state in taxes. Denmark now confronts a budget of 550,000,000 crowns, or nearly seven times as much as before the war. Between 1914 and 1921 Denmark had a national income of 12.750,000,000 crowns, of which 2,437,000,000, or about 20 percent,, were paid into the national treasury. Hence is is seen what an expensive luxury the state has be come. Hard Work Ahead. "Denmark must strive hard to get back to normalcy in her expenditure," a leading Danish business man has said to the correspondent of The Associated Press. It is no good nibbling at the salary of the individual official. That merely makes for inefficient public servants, and will only reduce expenditures a few millions. No, it is necessary to scrap whole departments, or at least reduce the number of personnel by one-third or one-half of the present number. Government departments have, in so-called good times, a tendency to- mushroom growth, . and every newly-appointed official creates work for another one. The result has been far too many officials and more expensive street car and railroad fares, gas. electricity, etc., without a corre sponding increase in quality of conn modity, or service. Another prominent leader in the commercial world was more definite in his policy. He deplored, for instance, that the Danish foreign office, at a time when other governments were cutting down expenses, had increased costs by appointing new minis ters and consuls everywhere. In his opinion it was high time for minor states like Denmark to abolish altogether the costly practice of keeping ministers abroad. He suggested merging the present consul-general and minister Into one person, a kind of high commissioner, who should chiefly look after the business end of the nation's interests, leaving political prob lems to tne solution of special delegations. mond were guests Sunday of Mrs. Jennie Jones. .: .Mrs. Robert Myers spent Monday in Richmond Rev. and Mrs. Le Count of Newcastle were dinner guests Sunday evening of Mr. and Mrs. John-Patton Mrs. Lillie Huddleston and son Alpheus and Charles Marson visited friends in Richmond Sundav. ....Mr. and Mrs. A.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY SHOWS READY WILL TO PUSH DRY LAWS (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 30 The disposition of the members of the Indiana Assembly toward prohibition and the Eighteenth amendment is indicated by the fact that, in both houses, 11 bills having to do with state prohibition acts and embracing new legislation have, been introduced. Several of the measures have been passed by the senate and all that have come before the house and senate committee for consideration to date have been recommended for passage. The house lias not been favorably disposed toward any of the tobacco bills that have been introduced, indef initely postponing two which prohibited the advertising of tobacco in any form. The bill taxing cigarettes and cigarette papers will meet a like fate, it is indicated. The other tobacco bill places a heavy penalty on persons who fell, give away or use cigarettes. It also is indicated that this bill either will be withdrawn from committee or indefinitely postponed. Plan Stiffening Penalties The liquor bills introduced have to do in most instances with stiffening the penalties for laws now effective The senate has passed two bills in creasing the penalties for driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated and making more severe the punishnient tor the first offense and subsequent violations under the state prohibition law. A joint bill was introduced by Senators Miller and Steele placing a penalty of first degree murder against any person who sells or gives away intoxicating liquor which causes the death of the drinker, but has been indefinitely postponed. Another senate bill makes the transportation of liquor a felony. The possession of a still or any other liquor making apparatus is punishable with a fine of from $100 to $1,000 and imprisonment of from one to five years, according to a bill introduced in the house. Other bills relating to the liquor traffic are the following: To increase the penalty for second con victions of liquor law violators; to restrict the sale for beverage purposes of j preparations or a large alcoholic content; and to permit the institution of abatement proceedings to enjoin the pperation 'of liquor law violators. AUTO PRICES STRIKE LOW MARK, IS BELIEF (By United Press) DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 30. Auto prices have reached "rock bottom" and from now on will show a tendency to advance, according to leading manufacturers here today. Several companies already have announced slight increases and it is reported others soon will do likewise. Increased cost of basic materials and labor is given as the reason for price advances. "Everything points to the conclusion that automobile prices have reached rock bottom and that the next movement will be upward," said W. R. Wilson, president of the Maxwell Motor company. "The automobile industry was the first to deflate to the limit after the war, and it found itself justifled in doing so by the prompt return in volume of business. "Now it faces the fact that for the last six months, primary materials of every sort have been rending upward in price, and labor still is command ing high wages and getting scarce. "It is always possible that certain companies, whose prices were too high auiing ine war, may reduce prices. but the best entrenched manufacturers with distributing facilities will not be lowering prices in the future." gan, .

GERMAN DESTRUCTION

IS SOUGHT BY FRANCE, LUDENDORFF ASSERTS By CARL D. GROAT MUNICH, Jan. 30. "France wants to get rid of Germany." General Ludendorff, one of Ger many's two most famous military lead ers during "the World war, thus ex pressed his view of the Ruhr occupa tion in an interview at his villa over looking Munich valley, today. The general, still symbolic to many of his countrymen of Germany's lost military glory and still expected to lead a royalist revolt one of these days, attacked French militarism and accused the invaders of wanting to rid the country of Clemenceaus 20 mil lion Germans too many. For two hundred years the French have sought to ruin Germany, Luden dorff said. "France, with a population not surpassing 30 millions, first

disposed of our millions in giving Poland Upper Silesia. Now she is proceeding herself to absorb tome millions and to get rid of others by letting part of the population starve." Seeks Weakened Country. The general charged France wants to grab the Ruhr coal and war industries to strengthen herself and weaken Germany. "I am certain it is France's intention to maintain her grasp on the Ruhr as long as practicable; permanently if possible." Ludendorff scouted the suggestion the French have run into a blind alley, but hinted there might be unpleasant surprises in German unity. "You can tell America and the world that the last war was not a question of German militarism, but of French militarism. We simply defended ourselves against French ambitions and sought Longwy and Briey as points? -J J necessary to our protection," Ludendorff said. Sorry U. S. Withdraws. "I am sorry the American troops have been withdrawn from the Rhine. Although I feel it was meant as a protest against France. But it only help-

led and pleased them. They now have a more solid front, with nobody to hinder them. They are pouring troops through the Coblenz area." Ludendorff said he had informed General Allen that this was how German nationalists viewed the situation Leaving the general in his peaceful hillside valley, correspondents on the special train for Munich and Mulheim reached the former city to find the hot-bed of the nationalists barely restraining its wrath against French. Tha' notorious national socialist leader, Hittler, pays nightly visits to cafes, urging Bavarians to rise in revolt against the Germans or to attack the French. The Bavarian government is embarrassed by these activities, but believes it can avert a putsch. PREPARE FOR SECOND HERRIN RIOT TRIAL MARION, III.. Jan. 30. Federal prosecution of the men accused of murder in connection with the Herrin massacre loomed Today as Williamson county officials made preparations for the second Hernn riot trial which will open Monday. Feb. 12. Government agents have been in vestigating the records of the Lester strip mine, destroyed during the riot. of last June by a mob of union miners. and may take charge of the prosecu-' tion on the theory that interstate commerce was destroyed by the massacre, according to Assistant Attorney General C. W. MiddleKauff. Middlekauff was in charge of the prosecution in the first Herrin trial in which ive miners were acquitted of murder charges. Officials of the Lester mine, who were attempting to mine and ship coal in the face of the nation-wide miners' strike last June, have indicated tney were planning to file a suit for dam ages against the United Mine Workers of America, because of the riots. Their suit would be filed in federal court and would be based on a plea that the mob. in destroying the mine, interfered with interstate commerce. Federal prosecution of the murder cases as suggested oy junaaieiiaun, however, would be considered as a new move against the miners, union, which has been defending the men indicted for murder.
