Questions of Representative Gar ner, Texas, and Oldfield, Arkansas, Democrats brought forth* new dec larations that caused laughter among Republican oommiteemen. John Kirby, president of the as sociation, said he voted for _Presi dent Harding and contributed to the campaign fund. George M. Thurmond, manager of the Texas Sheep and Goat Rais ers' Association, under a cross-fire ot questions, by the two committee members, said he would vote the Re publican ticket again "if I Kve." Washington, April 21.?Declaring a "flood of cheap Imports" v was f wrecking southern industries and creating an economic emergency ^comparable in its destructiveness to any military emergency the na tion ever faced/ the Southern Tat __ iff Association, in a memorial pre sented today to the House ways and means committee, urged immediate imposition of a protective tariff. Agriculture, the memorial said, lies prostrte," the status of manufac * turing industry is "not less alarm ing" and the mineral industry is to all intents and purposes entirely in operative." ' The association representing the affiliated agricultural, manufactur ing and mineral interests of 57 south - era industries, asserts this "econo ' mic disaster" is the consequence of forces the hardness of whose com- 1 pact can and ought to be softened J*y the intervention of-the govern ment" Unless these forces are con dolled, the memorial continued. "It is-our &rm beU?X mat conaiuons will become progressvely disastrous with widespread bankruptcy, unem polyma?t and civic restlessness. A flood of cheap imports is wrecking 'the markets." GERMANS MENACE TWO AMERICANS Berlin, April 21.?James E. Tobinson and his wife, residents of Chicago, were attacked by a crowd of German men, women and chil dren Tuesday as they sat on the ter race of Sans Souci park, following the funeral of former Empresa Au gustus Victoria. The Americans were rescued by .a security policeman and two Ger man civilians, who locked arms and surrounded them, accepting a pelt iof. of sticks stones and umbrellas in defense of the couple, until they were able to escort them to the po lice in Potsdam. Here a patrol of ex tra policemen were summoned and dispersed the crowd. During the at tack the policemen and civilians -were unable to <julet the crowd, members <of which were shouting "Foreigners! French people!" Nor could they entirely shield the Amer icans. Mr. Tobinson was beaten over the head and shoulders, and his wife received a bruised. nose. Potsdam police headquarters in its report concerning the case said: V "The Americans were not to blame "'and they desire that there be no i further mention of the affair." "The mob," said Mr. Tobinson to day, "was incited by an old woman who thought we were French. They attacked us and chased us from 6ans Souci park to Potsdam. It is my belief that we would have been kill ved had it not been for the policman and Grman civilians who protected as." He declared he and his wife were born in Russia and live on Dearborn street, Chicago. He said he could apeak neither Russian nor French ?e is a naturalized American citi Ken. WANTED: A BLUE JAY CORN PLASTER. (Proper Gander.) "Oh!" cried a poor little girl who had one of those awful corns. This most unfortunate young lady's name was Sarah Witherspoon. She had just bought a new paid of silver slippers to go with her new evening dress; they hurt her feet, but they were all she could find. "Oh I I wiah I could find a blue jay/' said Sarah, "Mama, have you got one?" "Why of course not! I don't use such things." "Well-then, will you be so kind as to order some for me?" asked Sarah. "Every store i#-town is sold out," replied her mother, "I have just tried to find one for myself." "I didn't know you used such things," answered Sarah. "Oh! what shall I do; what shall I do!" "Vanity knoweth no pain my dear" replied her mother. . Just about that time the door bell rang. "There's Richard now; tell Mm I will be down in a second."* Forty-five minutes later," Sarah limped across the hall into the sitting room. "Are you ready"? asked Rich ard. ' "Yes," replied Sarah weakly. While riding down to the dance in a ear, Sarah, even though she had a distressed look on her face, talked very pleasantly. She was praying all the time that her toe would stop hurting. She, of course, danced with Richard first. That was a fox trot,i and she was relieved, for she was kept j irioving. But when she stopped, she could stand it no longer, so she re treated to the dressing room. There she saw one of her friends. "Mary," she cried, "have you got a blue jay corn plaster?" "Shut up; if you haven't got a blue jay don't talk to me; Oh! my heav ens," and she uttered another prayer. Then hqpring the music again, Sarah liihped down stairs and waltz ed until she thought she would go crazy. After the <4ance, she went into the dressing room in search of a blue jay corn plaster. Here, .she found a friend who was also a fellow sufferer "Have you grot a blue-jay?" they both asked~&t one time. Then they looked at each other rather foolishly and laughed. But what good would laugh ing do for laughing would not drive away the pain. "Look what I found!" cried Jean in an amazed voice, "a blue-jay corn plaster!" ' "Oh! y$u lucky girl," cried Sarah pitifully. "What on earth can I do?" About that time, Roberta Brown walked in; threw a pair of ballet slip pers on a chair and sat down to put them on. . - L- 1 ivouerui| Have ;vu (vi, a wms jay?' asked Sarah solemnly. "No, but I have a pair of ballet slippers you can wear," offered Ro berta. I "Hand them oyer, you darling girl,' said Sarah jerking off her slipper. "You have saved my life, dear." After that blue-jays and corns were forgotten. In fact, Sarah forgot every thing except the heavenly time she was having. Jttfcth Hill, VIII. CLOSE CHECK-UP MADE OF GAS FILLING STATIONS Golumbiaj April 21.?Gasoline filling stations must keep their gaso line measuring pumps up to legal standards, state officials of the state department of agriculture. The de parmnt continually makes inspec tions of filling station measuring de vices for the protection of the motor St and the gasoline consumer. Announcement is made today of the results of a recent inspection of gasoline filling stations in Columbia and there are more here than in any other city of the state, this city having more car per capita than any other in America, with the single exception of Detroit. Of the hun dred or more gasoline pumps in the city, ^-tfee large majority * of the pumps were checked up. A dozen or bo of the pumps'were found to be giving short measure in gasoline. One was found to be giving more than standard measure, and this dealer rejoiced at the result of the J ? ah -# xi. * i iiiapucviuii. ui uic |iuuijk? xv/uiiu to be irregular were sealed up, and they were not used until repairs had been made and the repaired condi tion reported by the mechanic doing the job to the department of agri culture. ??Watch the label on your paper and renew your subscription promptly. RAILWAY BOARD RESTS FOR WEEK More Than Thirty Lines Present Pleat?-Time for Employee! Chicago, April 21.?Setting a whirlwind pace, more than 30 rail roads laid their pleas for wage re ducton before the railroad labor board today in the final day's pre sentation of the carriers evidence. The board then adjourned for one week, until April 28, to allow the employees time in which to prepare their reply. Predictions of receiverships and bankruptcy interspersed exhibit af ter exhibit introduced by the roads to si\ov decreases In outside indus try wages and the cost of living since the present railroad wage scale was made effective. All of the roads took the same position as that expressed by W. G. Bierd of the Chicago & Alton, the last witness. "The wage decision of July, 1920 as I understand it, was based al most entirely on the increased cost of living," Mr. Bierd said. "If that's correct-we. feel Justified in asking a decrease in these rates of pay, first on the grounds of absolute "necessi ty; second, because the reason for creating the present rates has been removed, and third, because other industries have reduced their wages." The board,was flooded with am other mass of figures today as roads from the Southeast and Southwest and West made their submissions in rapid sucession Numerous roads told the board that unless they had relief they would soon be on the rocks, ?severa! smaller roads facing deficits at present. Exhibits from all sections of the country set forth reductions in the cost of living and in wages paid for similar work in other in dustries. The general rules hearing, wlrich was to have proceeded next Monday, has been indefinitely postponed, so that the board may give its entire attention to the wage controversy. A research work of Twichenham, England, claims to have achieved the manufacture of synthetic alco hol on a commercial scale at a cost of five cents a pint. The Japanese bury their dead in a sitting posture following a costume centuries old. This is done t6 save space. Three can be buried in the space of one American grave.
