WOULD CHANGE
LOAN METHODS
Government Seeks to Simpli
fy Foreign Finance of
Americans
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13—(JD
The state department in conjunc
tion with other government de
partments is considering a change
in the present policy under which
foreign loans ar' made by Ameri
can bankers.
While department officials de
clined to comment on the subject
it was learned Saturday the depart
ment is considering formulation of
a policy whereby 'ie placing of for
eign loans in the American market,
would be simplified and formalities
would be reduced.
The state department on March 3.
1922, asked that American bankers
w: j contemplated publication of
quotations of foreign loans in Unit
ed States markets, submit their
plans to the department in order to
learn whether t le Washington gov
ernment would • lice any objections
to the proposed loan.
The purpose of this request was
the' loans to countries which had
. not funded their war debts with the
United States could be in a measure
controlled by the American govern
ment. In no case did the American
government indicate its outward
approavl or rejection of any loan.
Its simply stated any objections
which it might have to the loan be
ing made, with the result that the
loan failed to be placed in the
American market.

Stomach Disorders
First Revealed by
Coated Tongue
Your tongue is nothing more
than the upper end of your stom
ach and intestines. It is the first
thing your doctor looks at. It tells
at a glance the condition of your
digestive system—and physicians
say that 90^ of all sickness starts
with stomach and bowel trouble.
A coated tongue is a danger sig
nal of those digestive disorders
which lead to so many kinds of
serious illness. It tells why the
least exertion tires you out; why
you have pains in the bowels, gas,
sour stomach, dizzy spells.
Coating on the tongue is a sign
that you need Tanlac—the medi
cine which has helped thousands
who were physical wrecks from
stomach and bowel troubles—who
had “tried everything” in vain and
about given up hope.
Tanlac contains no mineral
drugs; it is made of barks, herbs
and roots. Get a bottle from your
druggist today. Your money back
if it doesn’t help you.

Senate Finance Committee1
Kills Proposed Sliding
Duty Scale
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.——
Opposition voiced b> the sugar in
dustry to the proposed sliding scale
duty on that commodity today led
republican membeis of the senate
finance committee to kill it.
Chairman Smoot, who sponsored
the plan, announced it was the con
census of the eleven republican
committee members that in view of
the position taken by the industry
it would be 11! advised.
No vote by the committee was an
nounced. Immediately after this
decision speculation turned to a
vote expected next week on a flat
rate on sugar. This talk centered
around a possible cut in the house
rate.
Ever since that cnamber approved
an increase in th'- rate from 1.76
cents against Cuba to 2.40 cents
and against other foreign sugar
from 2.20 to 3 cents, protests were
heard from many quarters, espe
cially from the democrats from
non-sugar states anc". those who
spoke for consumers.
Republicans have voiced strong
opposition to the proposed increase
which never wa* put to a direct
vote in the house
At the white house the only offi
cial statement on the sugar tariff
was that the president favored a
plan that would protect both the
producer and consumer, and this is
what Senator Smoot contended the
sliding scale would do.
NO IMPROVEMENT FOR
MEXICAN OIL IS SEEN
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 13.—<AV
There is no hope of immediate Im

Due to the growing oil production
in the United States, the market in
that country has little need for
Mexican oil, the report said, and
it appears the slump here must con
tinue. 4
Prom January to July, 63 new
wells were brourht in In Mexico
with a total production of 38.583

In Famous Ryeland
English Flocks
LOUISVILLE. Aug. 13. —iJFf—
Sheep raisers all over the country,
according to University of Ken
tucky agricultural authorities, are
showing marked interest in the re
cent importation of a flock of
world famous Ry elands selected
from the finest flocks In England.
The king’s flock at Sandringham.
Lady Ludlow’s flock at Duton Hoo.
and duke of Richmond’s flock at
Goodwood and others contributed
to the Kentucky importation of the
breed by William B. Belknap. Go
shen. Ky., and Prof. R. C. Miller.
University of Kentucky.
Part < f shipment went to tho
Belknap farm and the remainder to
the farm of W A. Hinton at 8a
dlevllle. To foster development of
the breed in the United States »
national association of Ryeland
sheep breeders has been organized
by the trio of sheep experts re
sponsible for the first Importation
of the bread.
The Ryeland sheep, it is said
c-nbines both size and quality oi
flesh found in other hading breeds
making them superL for the pro

Jobless Englishmen
Envy Working Girls
LONDON, July 11.—(/P)—The “girl
I left behind me" of the old war
time song has become the “girl Who
got there ahead of me" in these
days of peacetime unemployment
* Such is the complaint voiced by
many British ex service men who.
out of work and discouraged, see
and hear and read about the grow
ing army of women workers in Bri
tain-most of them young women
of marriageable age.
Right, or wrong, these jobless
men of 30 with the war years be
hind them feel there is a very real
connection between the number of
women workers in Industry and the
size of the male army of unem
ployed
One field of wage-earning still i.<
uncrowded with women—the field
of domestic service. Maids anc
cooks are so far from being a drug
on the market that they actually
are hard to find.
And so some of the younger men
are beginning to take what the glrlr
will not have. They are working
as house boys and cooks, solving a
the same time the bread-aryi-but ter
question for themselves pnd the
“servant" problem for their empoly
ers.
Oddly enough, employment agen
cy executives s the masculine do
mestic workers are becoming more
popular with those who have tried
them than the parlor maids and
other feminine Y lp they used to
have.
Boys can be hired quite as cheap
ly as girls, it is explained, and they
stay longer.
‘Besides.’’ said me employment
agency official, “they are more tidy
less opinionated and Just as effi
cient as girls.”
The youth who enters domestic
service usually aLns to become a
butler or a footman later on. ome
times he accepts It os a temporary
occupation which will help him to
save money for a voyage to Canada

Coup By Tampa Club
Cost McGraw $12,500
TAMPA. Aug. 13.—(/P>—John Mc
Graw. manager of the Giants,
missed signing Wally Brush, speed
king of the Southeastern league, by
three hours last summer, and it cost
him $12.500—or $4,170 per hour.
That's what McGraw paid the
Tampa club for Brush the other
day.
Last summer both the Giants and
Tampa were dickering with the
pitcher. Brush wanted to sign with
the Giants and did. He mailed In
his signed contract at midnight one
night.
But his friends put over a fast
one. Three hours before Brush
mailed his contract to New York
his friends wired the Tampa club
over his signature, accepting terms
with it.
A merry row was in sight. But
Tampa threatened to go to Judge
Landis, and McGraw withdrew his
claim.
