Neutrality Shelved Facing unquestionable defeat if the attempted to revive his so-called neutrality plan in the Senate, the President, after a night conference with Senate leaders on the evening of July 18, reluctantly accepted their advice to drop his program. At the end of the conference, the President is reported to have insinuated that he would "take his demands for the repeal of the arms embargo to the people." Senators, Borah, Johnson and Clark, who are leading the opposition to the Administration's foreign policy in the Senate are convinced that the Alabama, who has introduced a bill asking 350 million dollars for an extended Public Works Administration program will seek to adopt it as a rider to the spend-lend legislation. Outlaw Filai Block Booking The Senate recently voted to outlaw the block-booking' of motion picture films, a practice by 'which exhibitors were required to purchase films without seeing them from movie producers. The measure now goes to tho House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee but it is doubtful if that Committee will act before the adjournment of the present session. If finally inacted into law it is expected that two benefits will result. 1. It will permit free choice in the selection of films. 2. It will enable exhibitors to know what they are to get ~ i ! before they sign a contract for the American peop e do not want any more filmg Opponents of the bill contend tion in a - Jaw office on Washington street.

When farmers depended largely on a home-cured meat supply which was usually very salty, they Had enough salt in their bodies to prevent a salt deficiency. Lack of salt in the body is believed to be I direct cause of the prostration. To keep the body tif good order when work causes much perspiration, extra salt must be tak* en. In industries, where men labor ant) sweat under extreme heat they ar« expected to use salt tablets from dispensers placed near their drinkinft water. A little salt (not enough toi taste) added *to the drinking water works quite as well as the tablets. While most farmers are aware of the need of their livestock for extra salt in hot weather, many of themT overlook the fact that human need foe sa^t increases, too, this time of year HOME BUREAU ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING AT HARRISON HOME JULY 31 sion, Congress is in a position to effect a speedy adjournment.
