K # The battle mainly along pariia mentary lines, raged for two hours, but in the end the proposal was re jected on a point of order by Repre sentative Mondell, Republican lead er. Still determined to press the fight, Mr. Tinkham appealed from Speaker "Gillette's decision sustain ing ihe point of order but the house stood by 285 to 46. The Tinkham resolution,- substantially the same as that presented during consideration of the reapportionment bill at the last session, had been expected and Democrats were ready, to jump into the fray. The , Republican leader went to the front,however, and won the day alone. I As framed by the Massachusetts member the resolution would have directed the census committee to proceed forthwith to make diligent! inquiry respecting the extent oft which the right to vote is denied or [ abridged to citizens of the United j States, prior to preparation of a bill' ior reapportionment 01 tne no use. j In the course of a long argument Mr. Tinkham declared the resolu tion was in order ahead of all busi ness, that the measure offered be fore was never reported out by com mittee, and that if referred again it would meet the same fate. He de manded immediate action a proceed ing which Mr. Mondell opposed on the grojind that if the Tinkham plan should prevail members could come in any day with other complaihts against enforcement of prohibition under the 18th amendment and thus upset the regular business of the body. The only Democrat to break in during the debate was Representa tive Gallivan, Massachusetts, who wanted to know how long Mr. Tink ham expected to speak. "t want to vote with him but if he talks too long he may iose sL vote," Mr. Gallivan shouted and the house roared. ? M \ Representative -Garrett;, Tennes see, aoting Dmocratic leader, sought recognition as Mr. Mondell conclud ed his answering argument, but Speaker Gillett, said he was ready to rule. This was,accepted as con clusive even before the speaker be gan a long statement, that the Tink . nam plan had failed. It was largely on demand of Mrt Garrett that the house voted on a straight out question of sustaining the chair, Tather than on a substi tute by Mr. Mondell to table the' Tinkham appeal. This settled the issue definitely so far as action at this session goes. Members said later the Gillett decision probably would stand longer than the lifetime of the average representative. A Mr. Mondell, in quoting authori ties, recalled that a Republican house 20 years ago "refused to rush through a similar proposal. He de clared the Tinkham resolution was precisely the' same in form as that offered by/;Representative Olmstsad of Pennsylvania in 1901 and thrown out on a point of order with Speak er Henderson in the chair.

C., May 7.?Specific recommendations for the solution of present pressing business problems were made in reports submitted to day to the executive council of the American Bankers association meet ing here by the economic policy commission and the commission on commerce and marine. The influence of European busi ness and financial conditions on the United States was discussed in a re port by John D, McHugh of New York, chairman of the commerce and .marine committee, and a warn [ ing against 'hasty measures of legis | lature designed to relieve the. abnor mal conditions at present existing in trade and industry' tfas sounded in a report of the economic policy committee of which Paul M. War burg is chairman. A i. . * Xt- ? \ 1_ J! M A report 01 wie savangs cans aivi sion opposed development of gov ernment organizations to the extent of creating competition -with savings institutions. The council also de cided to make a crusade against bank robbers because of the crime wave. Approval of the McFadden bill provides a new position to b^ known as the under secretary of the trea sury and abolishing the office of the comptroller of the currency was em braced in the reports of th;? econom ic policy committee. "We believe," the report says, "that the governor of the federal reserve board should be elected by the bdard, instead of being named, with the vice governor, by the pres ident and that the governor, in stead of the secretary of. the treas ury should be the presiding officer.. The latter, being rarely able to at tend the meetings, can not be close ly interested in touch with the bank ing business. On account of the inri perative demands which the regular duties'of the secretary of the treas ury make upon that official we view with favor the suggestion that the position of under secretary of the treasury corresponding to the posi tion of under secretary 4n the de partment of state 'be created and that this official represent the treas ury on the board." The report emphasized the neces sity for the strictest economy in all branches of the government . The repeal of tjie present tax lip on excpss profits was urged> while the present levies upon transporta tion, especially upon freight, were said to be harmful to business. In its consideration of the problems con fronting the railroads of the coun try the report said It was Idle to seek a cure in government ownership and operation. The EschjCummins law, it con tinued, has not had a fair test and there is good reason to believe tha t in normal times and witn some modifications it will prove Itself ca pable of effectively meeting our rail road problems. ^ * 1 sAntuc \ s V \' Mrs. Frank Palmer and children spent Saturday afternoon with KCrs.

ALS! )AY, 7th Ji < . *. ; \ Dresses Swiss, Ginghams, ibinations i over I , ' The 1 olio wing suggestions may M help yea make better butter: The farm buttermaker fails it? ob tain butter after churning the usual length of time; in fact the churn ing is! sometimes prolonged for sev eral hours without obtaining butter. The cause of the difficulty, together wih the remedies, are as follows: - 1.?Churnipg temperature \oo < low. It may be necessary, under ex-' ceptional conditions, to raise it to between 65 degrees and 70 degrees P. 2.?Cream too thin or too rich. It should contain about 30 per cent butter fat. * i * 3.?Cream too sweet. If ripened . to a moderate acidity it will churn more easily. 4.?Churn too full. In order to obtain the maximum concussion the 1 churn should be not more than one third full. y 5.?Ropy formentation of the cream preventing concussion.. This may be prevented by sterilizing all the utensils and producing the milk and cream under the most sanitary conditions. If additional measures are needed, the pasteurization of the cream, with subsequent protec tion from contamination, and ripen ing it with a good starter, sour milk will be effective. . 6.?Individuality of the cow. The x only remedy is to obtain cream from a cow recently fresh, or cream that is known to churn easily, and before ripening fix it with the cream j that ' is difficult to churn.. . 7.?Thie cow being fkr advanced in lactation. The effects may be at least partially overcome by adding, before ripening, some cream from a cow that is not far advanced in the period of lactation. 8.?Foods that produce hard fat. Such feeds are cotton seed meal and timothy hay. Succulent feeds such as silage and roots tend to overcome the condition. (Farmer's Bulletin No. 876.)
