'Senate Uses Tariff Bill
To Curb Speculation in
Stocks; Hoover Flayed
WASHINGTON, June 6.—/,P)—
The tariff bill apparently is to be
made the vehicle for the efforts long
n threatened in the senate to curb
, the use of credit in stock market
;! speculation.
r That conclusion was drawn today
li from the outburst against “the orgy
5 of speculation” in the senate yester
e day prior to passage of the admin
c lstration bill to authorize issuance
A of a new form of treasury short
1 term securities which will bear no
e Interest but will be sold at a dis
c rount. The bill already has been
s passed by the house but will require
,i further consideration because of an
a amendment adopted by the senate
e eliminating a provision exempting
,j holders from the capital gains tax.
a That amendment was proposed by
c lenator Couzens, republican, Mich
It '
lgan, who assailed the federal re
serve board because the rediscount
rate had not been raised, a meas
ure which he contended would have
checked the use of credit in specu
lation. Taking what was regarded
as a fling at Secretary Mellon, he
declared government officials who
have asked that income surtax rates
be lowered to liberate money for
industry should now move for the
taking of money out of the "gam
bling pool" for the same purpose.
Glass Opposed
His ideas about the rediscount
rate were opj>osed by Senator Glass,
democrat. Virginia, one of the farm
ers of the federal reserve act and
a former secretary of the treasury,
who congratulated the board on its
resistance to the "pounding" of the
New York Reserve bank for a raise

in the rediscount rate. Such a raise,
he held, would have been a penalty
rather than a help to business.
The Virginia senator announced
his intention to propose a five per.
cent tax on transactions in stocks
unless held less than 60 days as
an amendment to the tariff bill
when it comes before the chamber.
He also declared he would favor re
peal of the federal reserve act pro
visions allowing 15-day loans on
United States bonds.
President Hoover and former
President Coolidgc also came in for
criticism. Senator Glass charged
the president had "literally jumped
into the stock pit” recently with a
statement that "there was nothing
to be apprehended from this riot
of six billions of dollars of credit
in stock gambling." Senator King,
democrat. Utah, who has proposed
a senate investigation, said Calvin
Coolidge while president had “ex
president had “expressed approval,
certainly not disapproval, of the
large amount then used, nearly four
billion dollars for stock gambling
purp * scs."
Delicate Problem
“Calm consideration" was urged
by Senator Edge, republican. New
Jersey, who argued that the credit
problem was “one of the most deli
cate with which we have to deal.
Senator Watson of Indiana, repub
lican. leader, observed there was
"quite a difference of opinion as
to what the board should do." and
cited the large number of individuals
and corijorations who have sought
to profit by the high interest rates
by putting money into the call loan
market.
SOILS SHOULD
BE GIVEN TEST
Accurate Analysis Elimin
ates Guess Work As
To Products
By P. L. RICKER
, (U. S. Department of Agriculture)
Beauty and production in the
I home garden are of such impor-1
tance that no one can afford to
overlook soil reactions.
The greater proportion of garden
soils will be found neutral and well
adapted to most cultivated plants.
Such plants as azalea, holly, laurel,.
pink lady’s-slipper, wild lily, trail
! ing arbutus, magnolia and rhodo
dendron will not grow in neutral
soil successfully. If your garden is;
1 acid, alfalfa, peach, celery, begonia,
' cabbage, cosmos cucumber, dahlia,j
I gladiolus tomato, bean, pea, rose
zinnia and many similar plants will
not thrive in it.
The belief that moss indicates
acid soil is an error and the applica
tion of lime to the surface of gar
dens and lawns is a mistake. Moss
usually is an indicator of the lack
of soil fertility or . poor drainage and
ground and hydrated lime, surface
npaplied. soon turns to a less soluble
form and is of little value unless
it can be harrowed in.
Burning fields to liberate fertil
izer causes loss of humus, or decay
ing vegetable matter; it destroys
beneficial soil bacteria, and if long :
continued renders fields of little
value for cultivation, unless organ- ,
ic matter is supplied in .some way.
The litmus paper soil test is not
sufficiently delicate for most plants, j
and is being replaced by hydrogen
ion testing. For most gardens a
soil-testing set with a single solution
is sufficient and may be obtained
from dealers for 75c to $1.50.
A small pellet of soil is placed qn
I a porcelain plate and saturated with
j the indicator solution. After stand-'
| ing for a minute the solution will
have seeped through the soil sam-!
j pie and its resulting color comnared .
with a color chart, tells the soil re
j action.
In general, with indicators sold by
! different firms, blue .green or pur
ple indicates a slight alkalinity;
light to medium green, neutral; yel
low, a slight acidity; orange .strong
er acidity, and pink to red, very
acid. Larger sets providing indica- |
tors showing medium and strong
alkalinity are rarely needed except
in some of the western plains and
desert regions.
For plants needing acid soils
aluminum sulphate, jjowdered tan
nic acid, jieat moss, or pine or oak
sawdust that has been decaying a 1
few years may be used. For acid
soils that need neutralizing, lime is '
the most c*.\venient to use the'
greater, the acidity shown by the !
test, the more tons per acre must be
applied. j

SECRET OF ANTIQUITY
BEND. Ore. June 6.—<7pi—'The I
date rf a catastrophe which de- i
stroyed a great forest and created ;
Cedar lake at the summit of the i
ntra! Oregon Cascade mountains
may computed from the growth
rings of trees buried for centuries
in irv water.
Scientists of the National Geo

themselves in the undertaking and
an expedition will visit the site

SEA LEVEL NOT LEVEL,
SCIENTISTS DECLARE
NEW YORK. June !
Though the position of “spa level*’
as the earth’s standard of levelness j
is not threatened, scientists have
found that after all it is not so i
level.
Its mean, or average level, for- I
merly was believed to be uniform
down to the fraction of an inch.
But differences are found of from |
nearly an inch to as much as two.
They are ascribed to contours of
the coast, lines.
The facts are reported for the
National Research council by Prof.
Douglas Johnson of Columbia uni
versity.
SECOND STORY HOME
FOR KANSAS CHICKENS
HIAWATHA. Kas . June 6—<7P>— I
John Moser, a Hiawatha farmer,
provided a second story apartment
for his chickens when coyotes sup
plemented the activities of thieves
He arranged quarters in the up
stairs room of an old home on his
place and when It was suggested
that the chickens might need more
sunlight Moser cut a hole in the
voof. This was fenced with chicken
wire and now the r.ocsc has a prom
enade when the skies are bright and
a protected shelter when it rains.
