"v DELEGATE'S EXIT IS DRIlil Here Is Something New in Architecture in France Butte, Mont., Editor Is Branded as ntative of Russia by a Vote of 27,838 to 130 in Blocfc Balloting. t% Portland, Ore.--William F. Dunne, Communist leader from the Silver Bow labor council of Butte, Mont., *was expelled from the convention of ' the American Federation of Labor after one of the most dramatic de- ; .bates heard In that forum for years. Dunne's strength only mustered six votes on the final roll call. The record ' vote as announced was 27,838 to 130, but this refers to blocks of votes, not V" individuals. There were about fiftytwo delegates absent or not voting in " the total of 378 present. It was not necessary for the socalled "tfompers inuchine" to do any steam rolling. The delegates themselves took care of Dunne. When the vote was announced President Gompers announced In his most impressive uiunner: "Delegate Dunne stands impeached and his credentials as a member of this convention are revoked. Mr. Dunne Will ple*se retire from th£f hall." There was a stir of excitement^ which the aged president soon quieted with firm blows of his new gavel of Orego^ myrtle wood. . "Good by, Mr. Chairman and delegates," said the athletic looking, blueshirted, young Ited, picking up hi<1 books and papers, and making for tlufi door. "I will meet you at the barri- i cades." This expulsion brought the whole Bed question Into focus and unmistakably stamped the temper of the convention on all the questions of similar character to come before it this week. The Impeachment of Dunne was made by William Green, secretary of jthe United Mine Workers, in the the course of a four-hour discussion of the Red problem and its menacing Import to the trade union movement. "I Impeach this man In the name of the workers of America before this great bar of trade union power and authority, as spokesman for the United Mine Workers of America," said Green from the platform. Dunne is under indictment with W. Z. Foster for violation of "fiie Michigan anti-syndicalism law.

Cities Double Health Budget Germany Still in World's Arena, Says Stresemann Berlin.--In the course of a stormy forensic duel With Count Westarp, spokesman for the German Nationalists, Chancellor Stresemann in the reichstag declared that Germany's straggle ill the Ruhr and Rhineland went on, even though passive resistance had been abandoned. He ateo reiterated his denials that the Berlin government ipeant to negotiate exclusively with France, Insisting that a reparations settlement could be obtained only through an understanding with all the allies. Nine Prisoners Flog Jailed Police Chief in Illinois Town Marion, 111.--Monroe Owens, chief of police at Pittsburg, near here, charged that prisoners in the county jail handcuffed him to a cell and gave him 25 lashes. Owens was arrested on an assault charge and placed in jail in default of bond. Nine other prisoners, two of whom had been arrested by Owens on liquor charges, held a kangaroo court over Owens for "breakin" into Jail." He was fined $10, but refused to pay. The flogging followed. Nation-Wide Co-Op Wheat Marketing Body Launched Chicago.--A national co-operative marketing association, headed by former Gov. Frank O, Lowden, was provided for Monday as the solution of the wheat problem at a conference in the Drake hotel, attended by leading agricultural interests of the country, Including all the executives identity with the co-operative marketing movement. Organization of the association will be commenced immediately. n- , . Pope Excludes Women Who Use Perfumery London.--Perfumed wouien will not be admitted to the Vatican hereafter, according to a dispatch from Rome. The reason given was that Pope Pius XI is susceptible to headache* and that perfume aggravates them.' Infant Welfare and School Hygiene Among Items Gaining Attention, Says Report Baltimore.--Cities of America *are placing increasing importance on the health of the community. From 1910 to 1920 health department budgets were enlarged to a degree promising marked benefits, it is indicated In au analysis by W. Tburber Fales of the School of Hygiene and Public Health, Johns Hopkins university. The average for 45 titles showed a 06 per cent increase In per capita appropriations 1910 to 192u and an expense for health departments of 70.4 cents In 1920. The greatest Increase was made by cities of 250,000 to 500,- 000 population, averaging 125 per cent. Two items--infant welfare < and school hygiene--indicate an awakening of the nation to the importance of giving every child a better chance for bealthy development. The American Child Health association, under the presidency of Herbert Hoover, hai acting as a clearing bouse for health Information to enable agencies to supplement and ass clal activities. Every City Spending More. Every city, Mr. Fales finds, showed an Increase in its health department budget. Milwaukee, with 343 per cent increase, headed the list, while Elizabeth, N. J., showed but 25 per cent, according to Mr. Fales' figures. Health departments oi 81 cities surveyed by Mr. Fales revealed per capita expenditures for all purposes except construction of or addition to buildings of 97.4 cents. Health service funds for activities dealing directly with the protection of public health aside from the cost of hospitals for communicable diseases and sanatoria, averaged 5,1.0 cents per capita. Bridgeport, Conn., i'onkers and Flint, Mich., were at the top of the list in per capita expenditures solely for health service with rates of 1019, cents, 93.9 cents and 88.2 cent*. In 72 cities child welfare and school Hygiene expenditures ranked next to die more general costs of sanitary inspection, communicable disease control, food Inspection and administration. Even so, the amounts spent on these services by health departments were not great, that for school hygiene being 3.9 cents per capita and for infant welfare 3.6 cents. Because school health supervision Is under control of the boara of education In many cities, Mr. Fales doubts that these figures present a complete picture of this service. In 30 cities where budgetary provision It made to cover all school health supervision Mr. Fales found an average of 8.8 cents per capita. Figures Qlven for Forty Cities. Figures of the per capita expenditures for the total health service for the first 40 of 81 cities, as found by Mr. Fales, are shown below. These amounts do Boundary to Be Fixed * v From Airplane Pictures Geneva.--Thanks to the use of airplanes and special cameras, the Swiss commission of experts charged with fixing the }ong-dlsputed boundary between Colombia and Venezuela Is now supplied with photographs covering about 2,500,000 acres of the wildest part pf the territory involved and should\have no difficulty In submitting its report to the Swiss government by December 31, 1924, as planned under the arbitration agreement. In a report of the aerial survey, the mission intrusted with the task says: "The base of operation^ was the Venezuelan port of Encontrados, above the Catatumbo river. After the necessary technical arrangements had been made in Cacuta with the Swiss commission of experts, the flights over the disputed region were begun on May 26. They ended on June 11, and during this short time 25 hours were spent in making photographic flights, not counting a few flights for purposes of study. "In these 25 hours, by means of a method combining vertical and oblique aerial photography, a territory of about 1,000,000 hectares was snapped. The photographs clearly show even the most minor details of the ground and make it possible to draw a map of the region that will determine, with absolute exa ctitu tereheds the eievathe pres- FUnt Pittsburgh Savannah Jackson Villa .

Paris.--Three little school girls, daughters of a chair manufacturer at Pau, apparently have demonstrated their ability to see without their eyes. Uvea when carefully blindfolded they are able to read print, the face of cards and other matter. The faculty of medicine at Bordeaux is Investigating with a series of testa The preliminary announcement made by this body Is that the explanation probably will be found to be that the blindfolding permits peeping. But In one experiment a well-known Journal whose staff was pat on the phenomenon took extreme precautions to prevent any faking. Two cup-shaped leaden molds were placed over the ««aiWdii place ftp a bandage, tightly applied. An open book then was placed in a rack horizontal with the eyes, while the head was held motionless to preclude any possible vision above oi below the bandage. A whole page was read Immediately by the eldest girl without an error. The youngest girl's talent also la highly developed, for with similar layers of paper and bandage attached to her forehead by means of mucilage, thus preventing any glancing upward under the bandage, 6he threaded a needle which had been placed in the cork of a bottle held several inches above her head. The girls are Yvonne, Andree and Jeanne Slmonln, thirteen, fourteen and sixteen years old. They are normal French girls, playing the usual childhood games, fond also of cycling and swimming, and accustomed Co help arannd (hair bmm There la not the Sllghest reason to believe them freaks. Their relatives, as well as many doctors who have been studying the case, predict the day when every on« may attain such « state of mental and optical concentration that people need no longer rely upon their eyes. Weary Cow HabJsf Up Train. York. Pa.--A cow, weary from a Ions tramp, while crossing the Columbia bridge lay down on the track of the Pennsylvania railroad and prevented a train from passing. The cow held, up the train for 20 minutes before the drivers finally succeeded in getting her to stand on her feet «nm. clently long to tie her to the side of the bridge, thus permitting tha twin to pass. Recovery From Depression which Struck It Three Years Ago Is Noted. (Fnptnd br the United State* DtpartMM ot Asrlcultare.) Rapid recovery from the depression which struck it three years ago is being made by the American sheep industry under the stimulus of fairly good prices, and improved credit facilities, say reports to the Department of Agriculture. Sheepman generally are optimistic and in good financial shape, nnd mutton and wool production, though still below normal. Is Increasing. Proof that the industry is getting back on its feet is seen in the fact that the number of sheep in this country according to an estimate as of January V has increased by 882,000 over the total on the corresponding date In 1922. It Is still 213,000 below the 1921 total of 37,452,000, but the rate of Increase suggests that the losses of the liquidation period will soon be made up. Officials of the Department of Agriculture do not, however, think that the high figures of the war years will be leached for some time. The peak of the war period was touched St 49.- 056,000 head In 1915. Effect of Open Ranges. Settlement of grazing lands for farming purposes has proceeded so rapidly in the last few decades that it is Improbable the United States will ever again be as big a. sheep pr6ducer as it was In the days of the free open ranges. Countries of sparse population and low-priced lands are best suited to sheep raising, and the United States has emerged from that category. The number of sheep dropped from 63,- 965.000 In 1903 to 51,482,000 in 1913 largely owing to the diversion of grazing lands to farming. There is room for considerable expansion of the sheep Industry from Its present position, however, If only as a natural swingback from the extreme depletion It underwent In 1920 and 1921. The liquidation in that period was the greatest ever known. Flocks were reduced by approximately 12,000,000 head. Income from wool was wiped out, returns from mutton and lamo wer^ greatly reduced, and hundreds of flock masters were ruined. From so drastic a shake-up, which diminished wool and mutton production far below current needs, some recovery was inevitable. When congress placed a duty of 2% cents a pound on.fresh mutton, 4 cents a pound on lamb, and 31 cents a pound on wool at clean content, sheepmen were encouraged to build up their flocks again, and a foundation was laid for re-establlshment of the industry on a normal footing. Wool and Lamb Prieee Good. • Wool today has a higher relative purchasing power in this country than any other commodity, and lambs are one of the few agricultural commodities that are ruling substantially above the 1912 level. In attempting to guess what the immediate future holds in store for the American sheep industry it is necessary to bear In mind, so lals of the Department of Agricultuqfcjthat the enterprise has a dual ch raising Involves the pr< wool and mutton, a tions for each must be fi sure stability and progress. outlook seems favorable. Ainert use more wool than any other people, "er capita consumption has risen from about three pounds in our early history to about 6ft pounds. Although a heavy producer of wool, the country Is nevertheless obliged to Import twothirds of its supply. Heme producers are therefore assured of a broad domestic market. Less certainty exists in regard to the market for mutton and lamb. Lamb and mutton are high-priced, and are considered as luxuries by most people. In consequence sheep and lamb prices show greater sensitiveness to variations in general economic conditions than any other important commodities, and in recessions, as well as in advance, have usually preceded other meat products by substantial periods. How to assure a stable and broadening market for mutton and lamb is therefore one ot the most difficult problems of the sheep Industry. Officials of the department are making studies to see what can be done toward preventing seasonal gluts and shortages, and toward Increasing the popularity # Mutton and lamb. Several Advantages in Grinding Feed for Stock The American people are strong on evidence, and rightly so. A man Is convicted or acquitted In the courts on evidence. Dr. W. A. Henry, formerly dean of the College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin, makes the following statement in hla book on "Feeds and Feeding": "The dairy cow giving a large flow of milk is working as hard as the horse ever does, and. this true, any grain given her should be ground or crushed if not otherwise easy of mastication and digestion. Corn pnd oats shojrfd generally, and wheat, rye, barley; kafir, and milo always, be ground pr 'chopped* and roots should be sliced' or pulped. For animals with poor teeth or for young animals before their teeth are well developed, grinding grain In general Is advisable. For horses which are hard-worked and spend much of their time away from the stable the grain may well be ground and mixed with a small allowance of moistened chaffed bay." JE Chinch Bugs in Silage Render Feed Worthless Silage corn, when heavily Infested with chinch bugs, should not be put Into the silo, as cattle will eat little of It. This was the experience of silo owners in chinch bug areas of the state last year. The pungent odor given off by masses of crushed bugs renders the feed unpalatable, resulting in complete loss. Those silo owners who live In the chinch bug Infested portions of the state should bear this In mind, as it may save considerable time and work. In case the bugs are not numerous In the silage corn, no harm will result, but where the bugs can be found In masses between the sheath and the stalk It Is useless to put the corn up for silage.--A. L. Ford, South Dakota Station. Number of Hogs Killed in July Breaks Record Nearly 4,000,000 hogs were slaughtered during July of this year in establishments operating under federal meat inspection, breaking all previous ds for hog slaughter during that he exact number by the receau of animal industry, record, which oi hogs.

' "Mil: Domestic Source of Tannin Never Been Developed. tPriptrtd bjr the United States Department of Agriculture.) Detailed lnformailon concerning the kinds of 6umac desired by the extract makers, the proper methods of gathering, harvesting and curing the leaves, and suggestions for improving the quality of the article are given In the United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin 706, American Sumac, A Valuable Tanning Material and Dyestuff. This bulletin may be obtained upon application to the department. Our domestic source of tannin, the American sumac, has never been properly developed, say officials of the department, although American sumac contains practlcully as much tannin as the Sicilian variety. However, owing to lack of care In gathering and curing Che leaves of this wild plant, which grows in vast quantities on uncultivated land In the eastern and middle western states, the domestic article now on the market Is Inferior In quality and brings a lower price than the Imported article. Sumac, is used In tanning light-colored and special leathers but unless the leaves are gathered at the proper time and properly prepared for market, a darker color, than that desired will be given the leathers treated with It. INFORMATION : - ON SUMAC munltles Is to purchase a lime spreader co-operatively. A half-dozen fanners can purchase a spreader together and It will Involve only a small investment on the part of each. There wiy be but little difficulty In all of the -jen using the spreader satisfactorily because limestone can be spread at almost any time. States Furnishing Big Portion of Potato Crop The "main or late-crop potato region extends from Maine westward to Washington and southward to northern New Jersey in the East and to northern California In the West Only 15 Btates are prominent in late car-lot shipments, however. These, arranged according to the average yearly number of car-lot shipments, are Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota and Montana. These states furnish all but a few thousand cars of the maincrop shipments. They move from 110,- 000 to 200,000 carloads and average about 90,000,000 bushels of potato shipments each season.

A lime spreader will pay for itself In spreading a few carloads' of limestone because It will enable the farmer to apply the lime much more evenly and to gauge Its application more accurately. Only by so doing will be get the maximum return for the money spent in liming. In addition to this a lime spreader will save a great deal of heavy work that would be encountered In spreading limestone with a shovel or by other makeshift means. \ Not every fanner needs a lime spreader because this Implement is only used for a short period each year.
