OOTBKIi I. l«l DOINGS AT WASHINGTON As Noted by Our Specisl Correspond ent Washington, Bopt. 20— After a uioiith'K uncunitHl holiday, Congres* la lignin in Hesslon with practically all ita iniiHirtant work yet to lie done, and President Hardline, refreshed by new golfing and crul*lng experiences, has returned front his latest vacation* The tn x revision bill as rewritten by the Senate Is Just reported In that body and will Is* the subject of lon* debate while business feverishly waits. The Republican campaign promise to re duce taxes, therefore, fhas not been kept, and nconling to Senator Smoot (Rep., Utah) an authority on taxa* tlon. will not and cannot lie kept* The tax hill. In its present *lia(K* is no more satisfactory than It was at It pass ed the House and Is certuin of the op l»o«ltlon of some Republican Senators. By general consent the tariff bill through which the Republicans were going to restore prosperity at once, must wait perhaps until the very last* According to the newspaper recognis ed here as President Harding's mouth piece. many returning Congressmen are of the opinion It ought to l*e pass ed up altogether or nt least until the disarmament conference Is over* This economic monstrocity. known as the Fordney Tariff bill, has ls»cn riddled by the House and Semite Republicans ns well ns the Democrats until It will no more hold water than a sieve, and yet enough blind partisans were found in the House to pass it. It is not sat isfactory to anyone except the profit eering big manufacturers. Rankers and other business men opjsisc It and the greatest merchant perhaps in the world the head of Marshall Field & Co., Chi cago. lias shown that the ‘American valuation' clause would destroy what little foreign trade there Is left In mer chandise. Among the ldg measures yet to lie act ed upon is the war loan funding bill Introduced by Senator Penrose, which empowers the Secretary of the Treas ury to do anything he pleases with the 10 billion foreign loans and to Is* the sole Judge ofthe transactions he may enter into In funding the debt* Tills, as has licon pointed out by Sen ator McKellnr (Deni*. Tenn), and Sen ator Underwood, the Democratic loader Is an unprecedented nml unwarranted grant of (tower which no man oug|it to have or ought to Is* willing to accept. It is the most sinister and dangerous measure ever Introduced in any ses sion of Congress and*is sure to result In acrimonious debate.

In the meantime six nillllflfti persons are Idle nml the American troops are still o„ the Rhine. It would seem, therefore, that we are yet. a long ways from normalcy* | No Party Politics in Disarmament Senator Underwood's uppolntment as a member of the Disarmament Con ference meets with the general appro val of the public and of all parties, as did the appointment of Secretary of ; State Hughes as the ranking member , of the American delegation. There is no more sincere friend of the main purpose of the conference and of world penis* than the Demoe- I era tic leader of the Senate, who has j the confidence of ills party and of tlie ; nation. As an expert on taxation, and doubtless the ls*st informed anil ls*st equipped inemlier of either House on j this subject, he- necessarily has a keen realization of the relation lietween the maintenance of armaments and tnxa- \ tlon. and his sound knowledge of na- , tlonal and conditions together with Ids natural ability and experience In lead ership make Idiu an ideal mcuilM?r of the Disarmament Conference. The turning down of Senator Borah, instead of Senator Lodge for meml*er* ship on the Conference, is generally deplored aside from the violation of the ethics governing such appointments Senator Borah, it is pointed out. ns the niithor of the resolution providing for the Disarmament Conference, was entitled by all rules of courtesy and by precedent to an appointment «» the American delegation. In addition to this lie has I icon the foremost and most eloquent advocate of tlie limitation of arinumeuts, and no one questions his sincerity* Fortunately the criticism of Presi dent Harding's War College speech, which was construed In many quar ters as 'latck water* on the nir.ln pro position. lias had the effect of arous ing and crvstalllzing public sentiment to the isdiit of insisting thnt the main purpose of the Conference— the limi tation of armaments— shall not !*e submerged* Tlie Intelligence of this na tion and of Europe without regard to party or other creeds has worked per sistently for the limitation of arma ments ever since the Armistice, not only from the Idealistic view of less ening the probability of waf' but be cause It was realized that the continu ed maintenance of huge armaments would tiankrupt every nntion In the world. There Is no party polites In the question of disarmament and so far os the Democrats are concerned there will Is* no politics in the disarmament conference. 'Hie Democrat* will work to the limit to make It. a sm-eess. With sincere friends of the cause like Hcnutor Underwood and Secretary Hughe* as memlier* of the conference, reinforced by an awakeneil public sen timent. there Is assurance tlmt the main purpose of the conference will not Ik* submerged and there Is renewed hope for practical results. Thankful is as thnukful does.

On the old state road between Pitts burgh nnd Mansfield. 0.. stands flu* old Shull tavern, a relic of the stage conch ilpys. The early ancestors of the present Shull family came origin ally from die Black forest In Ger many. In 1732, because of the wars which agitated Europe nt that time, they emigrated to America. From this family came Henry Shull, who moved to Ohio In 1800. nnd took a section of land on the old state road, where lie built the old two-story build ing which Is still known as the Shull tavern. The old home Is still In ex cellent condition. Henry Shull built his own sawmill to cut the logs for the building, and burned the brick he used. The house contains large rooms, and has a large veranda above and below, which ex tends the entire length of the house. One of the most striking features of the house profier Is the front door. This door Is built of n solid piece of oak, nnd the outside Is paneled In the old colonial fashion. The side win dows are also quaint, and the latch, with n heavy lock on the Inside, is of a style seldom seen now. Volcano Upset Calculation.

But at the instant the cameraman was squeezing the bulb, an explosion within the uneasy mass threw Into the air. not ten yards from the party, nnd directly before the lens of the camera, a tumbling mass of white hot lava. Crashing hack, nnd so breaking the surface crust, these erupted fragments roused the entire lake Into n “seething, bellowing mass of fountains.’’ India to Conserve Timber. The timber of India will be operat ed upon a gigantic system of conserva tion. None but the large timber will he cut nt any time, nnd the methods of logging that will he selected will In sure the least damage to the smaller trees. This Is possible In that coun try, ns It has never been possible In America, owing to the title to the tim ber being vested In the state, so that the operations can be conducted by the state on one national system, which will Insure a perpetual source of rev enue from the forest wealth.
