His Resolution Dlrootlng the Attorney^ lateral and Federal Trade Vy'V 'Wlsalen to Qst Busy H" Adopted Unan^ imously. -.r, Washington, May 15.--Immediate action by the government to stop the : merger of steel companies under the . lead of the Bethlehem and Lacka- I wanna concerns was demanded by the j seuate In adopting the La Foliette? resolution, directing the attorney gen-' eral and federal trade commission tot act. i" The resolution waa passed by unanl-^ moua vote after Senator La tfollette» had explained the uature of the proposed merger and related the steps taken by the steel companies to combine. He quoted numerous fianaclal papers to prove that formation of the combine already is under way. The resolution directs: "That the attorney general and the federal trade commission be requested to inform the senate as soon as possible what steps they have taken or propose to take to ascertain the purposes and probable effects of the proposed merger; what have been the results of an investigation which they may have conducted, and what actions they have instituted to protect the public Interests/ "That" the attorney general be further requested to inform the senate whether or not It Is advisable, in his opinion, to proceed under the appropriate provisions of the Sherman law and the Clayton law to prevent and restrain this impending combination." Senator La Foliette declared that If the merger Is formed the entire steel industry will be In the hands of two large concerns, the United States Steel corporation and the new combine. These two concerns, be said, would be able to fix prices on every product of the steel mills. The time to prevent the merger, he said, was now before It became really effective. He asserted that unless the attorney general moves quickly it will be too late, adding: "This is the age of steel. Iron and steel lie at the base of every human activity. Without steel our farms cannot be cultivated, or railroads would cease to operate, our industries would be prostrated and our homes could not be built. "The men who control this basic commodity control the nation. A little more than twenty years ago they secured complete control of one-half the steel industry by the- formation of a corporation so great that it staggered the nation. They could control the other half of the industry only by agreements and understandings with the so-called Independent companies. "These agreements arrived at through the medium of Gary dinners, worked well during the periods of prosperity, but they were inconvenient and, like all gentlemen's agreements, were apt to be broken when In perlpds of depression there was a scramble for business. "Today they are proposing to bring the other half of the industry under one consolidated control, so that in future instead of one rating through fhe medium of understandings to which there were a dozen or more parties they will be able to make firm and binding contracts through the two great corporations which will dominate the industry. "Gary dinners will no longer be necessary. Instead, the heads of the two* great corporations will be able to sit down at a lunch table and without fear of detection, fix the price of every pound of steel sold in the United States." Senator La Foliette quoted newspaper reports to show that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are the fiscal agents In the |>ropoeed merger.

The reply of Secretary Hughes, drafted after a White House conference with President Harding, was made public at the State department. The text of the reply follows: "This government has carefully considered the invitation extended If T>y the president of the Genoa conference, under the conditions set forth in the agreement of the inviting powers to Join the proposed commlasion^to meet at The Hague on June 15. This government is most desirous to aid in every practicable ypay the consideration of the economic exigencies In Russia and wishes again to express the deep friendship felt by the people of the United States for the people of Russia and their keen interest In all proceedings looking to tne recovery of their economic life and the return of the prosperity to which their capacities and resuurces entitle them. The American people have given the most tangible evidence of their unselfish interest in the economic recuperation of Russia, and this government would be most reluctant to abstain from any opportunity of helpfulness. "This government, however, Is unable to conclude that it can helpfully participate In the meetings at The Hague, as this would app«ar to be a continuance under a different nomenclature of the Genoa conference and destined to encounter the same difficulties, if the attitude disclosed in the Russian memorandum of May 11 remains unchanged. "Tbe Inescapable and ultimate question would appear to be the restoration of productivity in Russia, the essential conditions of which are still to be secured Jind must, in the nature of things, be provided within Russia herself. "While this government has believed that these conditions are reasonably clear, it has always beeu ready to join witli the governments extending the present Invitation In arranging for an inquiry by experts Into the economic situation hi Russiu aad the necessary remedies. Such an Inquiry woujd appropriately deal with the economic prerequisites of that restoration of production In Russia without which there would appear to be lacking any sound basis for credits. "It should be added that this government is most willing to give serious attention to any proposals issuing from the Genoa conference, or any later conference, but It regards the present suggestions, In apparent response to the Russian memorandum of May 11, as lacking, in view of the terms of that memorandum, In the definiteness which would make possible the concurrence of this government in the proposed plan." ' ' • The Inviting powers referred ro In the cabled summary of the proposed plan are understood to be Italy, Belglum, Great Britain and Japan. 1 Genoa, May 17.--The Genoa subcommittee on Russian affairs ratified the proposal for a meeting of the allies at The Hague on June 15 to appoint a commission of experts to study the Russian problem in detail. M. Rakowski, one of the spokesmep for the Russian delegation, made a statement indicating Russia would accept The Hague commission proposal "under protest." The phrase 'hinder protest" saves the faces of the Russian delegation, and particularly its chief, M. Tchitcherin. At the same time It permits preparations for the next conference--a continuation of the Genoa conference--to continue. Measure Introduced by Senator Ladd of North Dakota Affects About IIS Prisoners.

OTHERS are often heard to say, avJ «My children have such untidy habits,, and I don't seem to be able to break them. I talk all day long, bat It doesn't do any good." No mother needs to endure her children's untidy habits, or any other undesirable habits, if she goes about training in the right way, and is willing to take a little trouble to carry it out Four simple rules based on psychology, may sferve to give such mothers an Insight into the means of forming right habits. If carried out faithfully, these rules cannot fail to produce results. , First decide for yourself what habit you wish to form. Then start enthusiastically and determinedly to break the old and launch the new one. Say to your children, "Beginning today, we are all going to hang up our wraps,' and put our books and rubbers In the proper places when we come home from school. Let's see who remembers every time, and doesn't have to have mother tell her once a^out It." Arouse as much enthusiasm as you can about the matter. Be careful that you do not start to break and form anew too many habits at one time. Select one or two habits to work out, and keep at them until you are reasonably sure that they are well fixed. Then start on another. May Be Hard Task. Second, permit no exception te occur after you have once started. No matter how good the intentions of the children are, they will lapse Into the old ways after a few days. That is when you will have to work. You will find that eternal vigilance on your part will be the price of your children's THE KINDERGARTEN A NECESSITY; NOT A LUXURY P. P. Claxton, federal commissioner of education, has said that during the year 1920, the American people spent more for luxuries than they have spent on education in 'the entire history of the country. This nation, with Its vast resources can well afford to provide' all of Its children with every educational advantage, beginning with the kindergarten, and when we come to recognize in prevalent waves of crime, anarchy and unrest, the tragic results of neglecting the impressionable years' of childhood, the kindergarten will be considered a necessity, not a luxury.

When Mary comes home in a hurry to go out to play, she will throw her books on the nearest chglfe Don't say, "Oh, well, she Is little, and it is bard to remember all tbe time. I'll let It go this time." That Is where you will fail. Even though Mary has already gone away to play, she should be called back immediately and told in a kind manner, "You forgot your books today. I>ut them away, and that you may go to play." One or two experiences of that kind will soon make Mary more careful., ! Third, repeat the desirable artlon as often as possible. We all know that the habit Is most firmly fixed which we have been practicing longest. Seize every occasion to perform the act which you wish to become a habit, and its acquisition will copie all the sooner. Do Not Depend on Talking. Last of all, act, don't talk. Professor James says, in his Talks to Teachers : "Don't preach too much or aboffnd in good talk in tbe abstract." When Mary throws her coat on the floor and her rubbers in the middle of the hall, don't tell her that nice little girls don't do those thiugs, or that she is a careless gtrl and should know better, and a great deal more to that effect. Simply call her as soon as yon discover what she has done, and Ml her quietly and good-naturedly to put her things away Immediately, and then see that she does it. Such treatment as this is far more effective than mere talking. GETTING STARTED RIGHT, 18 ADVICE OF HENRY C. WALLACE. Every fanner knows that cess in producing fine stock depends upon getting the young animals started right. The number of drafted men rejected for physical disability during the war shows that we need to pay more attention to building up our children physically. The kindergarten, with Its admirable system of physical culture, and its sunny, airy rooms, where the children spend three happy hours each school day, furnishes the best possible environment, and physical as well as intellectual and social training. It is too bad that kindergartens are not available for a far larger percentage* of our chil- "dren. Early training such as Is given In the kindergarten should make healthier children, and better children in every way.-- Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Variety of Money.
