k EXPERTS THINK GROUND GAINED * $ CONSIDERABLE ELABORATION OF AMERICAN PROPOSITION KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT?<!OING INTC DETAILS. Washington, Nov. 19.?Technical xnerte of the five governments whc are dealing with Secretary Hughes Specific proposals for naval reduc tions and limitation feel -that dis tinct progress is being made towarc ultimate agreement. * ^ There has been, "it is known, z considerable elaiboration of the American proposition as it was general ly stated by Mr. Hughe*. In the directness of his statement to the conference the American secretarj of state did not pause to explain hovi the various ' ratios of tonnage strength suggested for the three major naval powers had been arrived at. This work is now understood to he going on among the experts paving the way for detailed discussion of the plan. # It is certain that British naval Srrv.-* experts regard their country as already committed through Mr. Bal four's speech of acceptance to what night be called the "5-5-3 ratio" oi naval strength as between Great * Britain, the United States and Japan. That is regarded in both Am? .; trlcan and British circles as the ? - : beart of the matter. Formal announcement by Admiral Baron Kato 8Lv~ for Japan that he would ask an upward revision of the general tonnage ratio to give Japan a slightly higher proportion status does not ? > leave it entirely settled; however, as to the' text Japan regards herself as committed to the American proposals. At first glance Baron Kato's speech of acceptance was generally construed as agreement to the "5-5S ratio" but this may prove not to ' fce the case. ^ ; Happy Hunting Grounds , y[\ Washington, Nov. 16.?Representative Lee of Georgia introduced a , Ml today to set up a federal fish and Kame reserve in the national forest nervation in the Blue Ridge; and >; Cohutta mountains of Georgia. * ' As a result of the war, France lost 600,000 industrial workers. ?

WERNI1Y BILL I i PASSED BY HOUSE I MEASURE NOW GOES TO CON[ FEREfJCE IN AMENDED FORM. [ MISS ALICE ROBERTSON, ONLY > WOMAN MEMBER, URGES DEFEAT OF BILL. [ Washington, Nov. 19.?The house > late today passed in amended form ' the Sheppard-Towner maternity bill, - previously approved by the senate. . The measure now goes to conference. I The vote was 279 to 39 and a group of women who had been watching x progress of the bill from the galleries - applauded when the result was an nounced. " " Opposition t to the measure was s voiced -chiefly on the ground that it r would infringe on state rights. Durr ing debate today Miss Alice M. Rob? ertson (Republican) of Oklahoma, > only woman member of the house, . urged the defeat of the bill, while its [ passage was advocated by Represen, tative Mondell, Republican leader. The bill provides for cooperation ' between the federal government and [ states in the protection of maternity . and infancy. Administration of its 1 . provisions would be by the children's ; bureau with an advisory t^oard con- ' sisting of the chief of the bureau, ' ;' the surgeon general of the public 1 [ health service and the United States . commissioner of education. > It provides that $10,000 of federal ] funds shall be turned over to each 1 state before next July 1 and that annually thereafter for five years $1,- ; 240,Q00 shall be available. The feder' al government would contribute outright $5,000 fcach year after next 1 July 1, to each state and an addition- J al $5,000 provided the state contributes a like amount. The balance of ' the annual fund would be distributed among states according to popu- ' lation with each state required to match the contribution of the federal government. Miss Robertson in her speech took ^ a fling at club women, who, she said, ^ sit at ease in comfortable homes wor- ' rying about other people's children and get a thrill over tea cups bypassing resolutions designed to bring about a new order in governmental 1 affairs. < The Seventh-Day Adventists have 2254 churches in the United States.

Fifty baking ovens sold in two hours, was the experience of the Cooperative Mercantile Saturday morning. This store had -advertised the ovens at a low price, including with each a small supply of staple goods. The store was open at 8 o'clock and by 10 o'clock every one of the fifty bakers was gone and all day long the customers continued to call for them. "We could have sold twice as many more," said Mr. Gilleland, manager of the stbre, this morning. Signs of Winter With the first cold weather comes a spontaneous recurrence of the usual predictions for a cold winter. All the old signs and superstitions are recalled in the numerous "weather" conversations that ensue?the thick bark on the north side of trees, the large stores of nuts, the squirrels have stored away, the abundant moss, the crickets in the hearth. The old timers bring up memories of' the hard winters that used to be when they were boys?how / Blooy River was frozen so hard a horse could cross it, how they could skate on the ice at grandpa's millpond. And they wonder why such cold winters do not come again. As a clincher to the belief that this will be a "sockdolager" of a winter, they say the last three have been very mild and it is due. Oiling the Old Gun. The day that marks the end of many a turkey means the beginning of the end for thousands of quail, partridges and plain "birds." Next rhursday the hunter may go into.the byways and hedges and bring home as many of the feathered Bob Whites as the law and his marksmanship al low. In preparation for that day, the Did gun that has had no attention for several months is now being polishad up, oiled and tested. The settlers and pointers, allowed to grow sleek and lazy through the summer, have been on diet for several days so that they will have plenty of "pep" on the opening day. If the birds could take warning from the fate of the ;urkey they would seek safety in a ;and where there is no "open" season or where .there is a "no trespassing" notice. :OST OF AMUSEMENTS AND MINOR LUXURIES - Washington, Nov. 17.?Federal ;ax returns have been given curious applications in connection with probems now before the conference on imitation of armament. Statisticians for the government have labor hard ;o bring the relative figures asio miltary expenditures and the amounts spent by the people of the country 'or amusements and minor luxuries >ut so sharply that their significance vould be seen at a glance.

To Discriminate In Daily T1 Reports. , .. . Washington, Nov. 16.?That stock 'brokers, either through ignorance ~~ or malice, will not discriminate be- F< tween cotton and linters is a very serious matter to the South, Senator Dial of South Carolina contends in ? letters addressed today to the bu- ^ reau of the census and the war department. Newspapers daily contain s^ate- ~" ments of stock brokers, according to ^ Senator Dial, setting put the bales of cotton alleged to Ibe stored in various Southern warehouses. It too frequently follows that the bulk of it is linters, he adds. ? "Today it is printed that there are CC in Charleston 198,000 bales of cot- * ton," said the senator. "I telgraphed for the facts. Of these (bales, 138,000 are linters belonging, in great part, to the war department. I have ? asked the bureau* of the census to w differentiate between linters and cotton, and have asked the war department to get its linters out of the country. "For the value of cotton is de- ? creased and the market 'depressed every time it is printed that vast numbers of ibales are in storage. There is very little cotton in the South. But one would not so judge if he followed the papers which print ? the estimates of stock brokers." SLAYER OF STEP-SON IS GIVEN A STAr ?
