President Coolidge, State Departmen through the has baan “sounding out” the attitude of foreign powers on the practicability of his calling another limitations of armaments council, but the results evidently {have led him to the conclusion that the time is not ripe. The question of another arms couference to be called by the United States has been rumored for some time, but last week a dispateh from London was to the effect that the American Ambassador there actually had discussed the mat- ter with Austen Chamberlain, the British forelgn secretary. Later in the week, however, a spokesman for the President indicated that the United States will await the full re- sults of the attempt by the League of Nations for holding a disarmament conference before going forward with its own, Last Tuesday the Secretary of the Navy formally certified to the Secre- tary of State that the United States had met all requirements of the dis- armament treaty by scrapping all of the ships reguired to be disposed of under the dfreement. The original cost of the vessels disposed of undsr the treaty was $197,418,620.06. The sale price of the ships as scrap and junk was $2,257,474.88. The present policy of the United ates toward Soviet Russia will re- ain unchanged under Frank B. Kel- logg, who succeeds Secretary of State Hughes March 4. This was predicted by an authorized spokesman for the President at the White House last week, who was asked regarding widespread rumors to the effect that there would be a change. Mr. Hughes has been consistently against the recognition of Soviet Rus- sia, while Senator Borah, chairman of the Senate foreign relations pommittee, has advocated recognition. Rumania is unwilling to have the reparations commission decide the finan- clal difficulties. with Germany which exist as a result of the German occupa- tion of Rumania in 1917-18. Rumania claims about $400,000,000, for which Germany refuses to accept responsibility The rupture has led to an open break In the commercial relations between the two countries, German newspapers in Rumania have been confiscated and German ships carrying Rumanian oil to Germany have been recalled. On the 27th anniversary of the blow- ing up of the United States battleship Maine, in Havana Harbor, the veterans of the Spanish War held memorial serv- ices in Arlington Cemetery last Sunday, February 15, at the base of the Maine mast, which marks the tomb of the gal- lant men who lost their lives when the ship went down. There is a plan afoot to set up €ome lasting tribute to the daring and cour- age of America's six world fiyers. The national committee which has been [ formed to carry out this plan has chosen a sculpture by Joseph A. Atchison for which the flyers sat, and plan that it should be presented to the Nation as a gift from the youth of America. The probable cost of this plan would be £100,000. Congress recognized the achievement of the fivers last week by passing a bill allowing their promotion and awarding them medal: A busy on anxiously watched last week while miners, after days of fever- ish work digging a ehaft to reach Floyd Collins, imprisoned for two weeks in a narrow passage of a cave near Cave { City, Ky., found his dead body. Life had ceased 24 hours before his rescuers | reached him. Instead of removing him, as first p'anned, from the cave, it willk be his tomb in death as it was in life. His funeral rites were held last week. The allied milita commission ap- pointed to investigate Germany's al- leged failure to abide by the terms of the treaty of Versailles respecting her disarmament delivered its report last week. The report states that be- cause of obstacles placed in its path by the German government it was | unable to obtain results by direct re- search. The majority of its disclosures came from fists working in factories where mu- nitions of war were being manufac- | tured. The report goes at length into its discoveries of other evidence that Germany is not digarming. It will be remembered that the commission was appointed when the allies refused to ithdraw troops from Cologne, in ac- | cordance with the peace treaty, be- cause, it was claimed, Germany did not live up to her requirements. Another week of hearings dragged by with little sensation as the House committee investigating the Air Serv- ices of the Army and Navy continued its work. Secretary Weeks, the com- mittee sald, would be summoned be- fore the committee and asked to ex- plain a War Department state- ment for the press to the effect that the Army has 1,200 planes ready for an emergency in the face of state- ments from Brig.

While the committee was hearing witnesses the special board appoint- ed by the President to submit & re- port on the development of aviation in reference to the Navy made its findings public. The report expressed opposition to a unified alr force, the recognition of airplanes as an essen- tial part of the fleet and faith in the supremacy of the battleship over the airplane. Geography. A great national park In the East, similar to those which have become famous in the West, now seems as- sured with the favorable action by Congress on a bill appropriating money and providing for a commis- sion to determine on the boundaries of such a park. The bill is now be- fore President Coolidge for his sig- nature, The areas which are to be considered include the Blue Ridge section of Virginia, the Great Smoky Mountain section of Tehnessee and the Mammoth Cave district of Ken- tucky. Science. Boring of the world's longest tun- nel, 13.6 miles long, was completed near Huntington Lake, Calif. last week. The tunnel, which is 15 feet in diameter, was bored through solid rock for most of the distance. Two gangs of men with drills, working from opposite sides of the mountain, met in the middle. The next longest tunnel In the world is in Switzerland. It {s 1% miles shorter than the Cali- fornia project. The American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, which conducts a number of radio broadcasting sta- tions in various parts of the country, last week announced a plan where performances broadcast from one sta- tion may be heard every night by a radio audience estimated at 12,000, 000, The plan is to link by telephone wire broadcasting stations in 18 cit- ies. The program would be every night from 8 to 11 o'clock. Henry Ford has bought some “priceless junk” from W. P, Ross, a blacksmith of Florida. The junk con- sists of the tools and laboratory equipment used by Thomas A. Edison in working out some of his most famous inventions. Mr. Ford plans to ship the material to the Ford Museum, in Detroit, where it will occupy a spe- cial room. Ross. the blacksmith, worked with Edison at Fort Myers, Fla., where the latter has a winter home. He purchased the tools as Mr. Edison discarded them. The airplane will be conscripted in Georgia this year in the fight against the weevil, which has so often brought ruination to the cotton crops of the South. Eighteen airplanes will be installed in the cotton region for dusting calcium arsenate on all cot- ton under contract at a cost of about | 87 an acre for five applications. War maneuvers in northern Mich- igan being held by the first pursuit group of the Army Alr Service will show just what the aviators would be able to do under Winter weather con- ditions, should the need arise. The plan for a great research in- stitute and clinical hospital for the diseases of the eve, the first of its kind in the’ country, &€ a part of Johns Hopkins University Medical School and Hospital, has become a reality. Dr. Willlam Holland Wilmer of Washing- | ton, for whom the institute is to be named, will become its director. The Rockefeller ~ Foundation pledged $1,500,000 for the building and equip- ment on condition that an equal amount be raised to complete the necessary $3,000,000. The remaining sum has been raised chiefly through friends of Dr. Wilmer. The Theater. A resolution advocating the es- tablishment of a censorship board to prevent the production of immoral plays In the Washington theaters was Introduced in the House com- mittee on education this week by Representative Dallinger of Massa- chusetts. He says that some of the plays which have been seen in Wash- | ington this winter “are the worst | which have appeared on the Amer- |icen stage in a good many years.” | There is a similar movement, which is gaining force in New York to such |an _extent that actors, civic leaders | and ministers are uniting in an effort to rid Broadway of objectionable plays. Thirteen specific plays are now under observation by District Attorney Elanton and Police Com- missi-ner Enright. Their plan is to give the producers of objectionable plays opportunity to withdraw them or alter them if possible before grand jury action is taken. Religion.

Nobody stood up. The sermon was delivered against the teachings of evolution. It was aimed at a bill pending in the North Carolina legis- lature to prevent teaching the sub- ject in the schools. The measure, by the way, was overwhelmingly de- feated. Civics. The war saw the appearance of the yeomen (f), who, some 13,000 strong, assisted in winning the World War. They were women members. regularly enlisted in the Marine Corps and naval reserves, who did lots of clerical and other work while the men were fighting. Last week the Senate passed a bfll for the er- nization and maintenance of the United States Marine Corps and naval reserves, but confined membership in the two organizations strictly to those of the male sex. Dr. Willlam M. Jardine, president of the Kansas State Agricultural Col- lege, and nominated by President Coolldge for Secretary of Agriculture, Will take his position in the cabinet March 4. His nomination was con- firmed without objection in the Senate last week. With varying predictions made as to whether Congress can enact farm legislation asked by President Cool- idge before March 4, when Congress adjourns, the Senata and House agri- cultural ‘committees have been busily conducting hearings the last week The relief measures befors both houses are based on the recommenda- tions of President Coolidge's agri- ocultural commission, which recently completed its report. Frank B. Kellogg, the retiring Am- bassador to Great Britain, and Mrs. Kellogg salled for home this week. The appointment of Mr. Kellog to he Secretary of State at Secretary Hughes' retirement on March 4 was t‘;m:flrmed by the Senate without de- ate. The House paused in its routine transacting of business for two hours last week, while members eulogized three Republican New England Sen- ators — Lodge of Massachusetts, Brandegee of Connecticut and Colt of Rhode Island. The practice of electing a man's widow to succeed him In office seems to be gaining in favor. It happens again, this time in California. Mrs. Florence Prag Kahn, widow of Rep- resentative Jullus Kahn, was elected from the fourth district fn San Francis- o to the United States House of Repre- sentatives on February 17. The House and Senate voted them- selves into a raise in salary last week through an amendment to the legis- lative appropriation bill, incresaing the yearly salaries of Senators and Representatives from 37,600 to $10,- 000, and that of the Speaker of the House, the Vice President and cabi- net members from $12,000 to $15,000 a year. It was the first raise in pay te legislators have had since 1907. There was no record vote and little discussion of the measure in either house. President Coolldge last week ap- pointed George C. Parks Governor of Alaska, vice Scott C. Bone, whose term expires this Summer, Mr. Parks, a mining engineer, is understood to be thoroughly familiar with prob- lems of Alaska, has been a Govern- ment employe there for many years and is popular with the people of the Territory. Economics. The International debt situation has been complicated again by the fall in value of the French franc, The franc is now worth about 5 American cents— one quarter of its par value. That is, it takes 4 francs to purchase in America what could be obtained for 1 when the franc was rated at par. The situation means that France must bol- ster up her own currency and initiate reforms, taxation, and new economy measures before she can begin to think of tackling the big job of paying the United States the $4,000,000,000 she owes. Among the remedies proposed for France's troubled financial difficulties are a loan of $100,000,000 for improve- ment of French finances and another $35,000,000 for the devastated reglons. Both loans have been promised by American bankers, according to Finance Minister Clementel, but he declined to discuss any details. During the war we had to borrow the most possible while paying oft the least possible. Now we must pay off the most possible while borrowing the least possible.” Thus did Premier Herriot of France summarize his country’s finan- clal policy to the Chamber of Deputies last week. Addressing the D ional Tax Associa- tion’s national inheritance and estate tax conference, President Cooldige last week recommended a- gradual with drawal of the Federral Government from the inheritance tax fleld, together with greater economy in tax collections. The President pointed to the fact that States are competing with each other to ob- taln, through inheritance taxes, the property of tHeir own citizens and fhe citizens of other States. In addition, there is the Federal inheritance tax. The President showed how a share of stock upon the death of its owner may be made subject to seven separate and distinct inheritance taxes by the Fed- eral and the State governments. Adding $718,500 to the District ap- propriation bill over what the House allowed, the Senate last week passed the measure, carrying a total of $31,812,237, and sent it to confer- ence with the House, where it was put in shape to go to the President. The American Electric Railway As- soclation, meeting in Washington last week, followed the plan found suc- cessful recently in other industries and elected a national director, Lucius S.
