It figures in an inteiiiational agreements recent signing in such a way as to indicate basic conditions of peace. ' A Franco-German deal whereby Germany is to deliver 200,000 tons of sodium nitrate to her traditional enemy, France, hardly supports the alarmist dispatches of foreign newspaper correspondents placing all Europe dangerously near the powder house. . Were Germany planning to make war on France or fearing invasion from France she would not sell to France the very stuff that makes modern warfare. When war clouds hover over Europe Germany hoards her precious sodium nitrate, and conspires to exhaust the resources of her enemies. 1 While France is buying the nitrate for agricultural pur poses, it could be diverted for the uses of war, especially when i ;tbe order is for more than the war reserve supply of 125,000 tons.' i i Germany is not anticipating trouble with France or she. would withhold her nitrate from world markets, compelling countries like France to risk sea cargoes. As it is she is entering into competition with the United States, Chile and Norway for the world trade. !.- Nitrate was Chile's prize in the War of the Pacific. Muscle "Shoals was built to supply the United Staes with nitrate for "fanning and war needs. No nation fearing immediate hos Hilities WQulctpaH.Vi'Hh .200,000 tons of the essence .cf war-- ty. A MAN'S INTENTIONS ; Whatever a man's problem and handicaps there is a word uhat describes the one thing he can do and must do. That : word is "Forward." The man who lets nothing stop his steady advance need fear no future obstacles. His motor is his will and no form can long chain and impoverish that. . Success comes sometimes when least expected. It is missed sometimes because of lack of faith in its existence. But he who advances, whose watchword is "forward," is never sur prised at prosperity. He welcomes it when it comes for he ; has long expected it and is prepared to meet its responsib- '. llities. ; Success is wholly a matter of mental attitude toward suc- cess. The half-hearted idea that it may work out never made a success of anything. Success comes from the de termination at the beginning to be successful and then, by being it. It isn't swelled-headedness to believe oneself bigger than anything which may stand in the way of success but to believe that is necessary to success. 1 ' !

CONFERENCE SHAPES BILL IN TWO DAYS (Continued Prom Page One) This is about the season of the year when we begin to admit that we have not made good our promise to out-self (or was it a threat?) to have more money this season than we had last year. How much the world owes to fools who did not know.it couldn't be done and went ahead and did it. In Washington Iiy Herbert I'lummer WASHINGTON It must make some of the Democrats In the house When Ogden Mill, undersecretary of the treasury, attacked the "sup posed" Democratic Ux plan. Speaker Garner quickly rushed in declaring that his party had not decided on anything definite. Garner Bold In elfect that on In- nouse, this greatest of peace time emergency measures returned uj me two cnamoers lor final ap proval, a consummation expected, to morrow. Sometlxing approaching e record was set by the conference committee in adjusting, within two days, numerous and important dif ferences between senate And house on the 2, 000,000 ,000 government credit agency. Dawes, Meyer L,ei.d Hand The men who will run the financial giant. Pres. Charles G. Dawes, and chairman of the board Eugene Meyer, helped in attaining the agreement. Ab drafted by tlie conferees the legislation will allow the corpora tion to replace unllquld collateral with cash in loans to the following: Federal end state banks, savings banks, trust companies, building and loan associations, mortgage loan com panies, insurance companies, credit unions, federal land banks. Joint stock land banks, federal intermediate credit banks, agricultural and live stock credit corporations and Inter state steam and electric railways, ex porters and farmers. Loan Limited All loans are limited to $100,000,000 j ench. The farmers' loans are limited to an overall total of $200,000,000, For exporters another outside figure of 500.000.000 1b set. Another clause allows a total of (200.000,000 for closed bonks, for freeing deposits. The conferees eliminated a provi sion in the senate bill which would have required the -corporation to in clude In its. quarterly reports the jmmes of parsons, ' financial institu tions or corporations with -whom con tracts for Joans or, -other transactions were entered into and the amount Involved in euch cuse. This provision was inserted In the senate mensure mainly at the in stance of Senator Wheeler, Demo crat, Montana, who Insisted the peo ple have a right to know definitely to whom their money is going. The clause would have required this in formation to be printed as public documents. One of the conferees said the pro vision had been stricken out because of the belief the borrowing institu tions might be injured if it were known generally they were callinp upon the emergency corporiition for aid. limner lea.sed As congress convened Senator Wal cott (R. Conn.) co-author of the bill, said President Hoover was "very much pleased" with the corporation bill. ( The senator, who had visited the White House, said the president had asked him to call to permit him to go over the changes made by the conferees, all were approved by the president. Senator Wultott said he was In formed the house would approve the conference report this afternoon. Ab soon as H reaches the senate he said, he planned to ask unanimous con sent for its Immediate consideration. A single objection could force it to go over for a day. Crowley To Die This Evening To ' Atone For Crime OSSINING, N. Y Jan. 21 (IP) Francis Crowley, scrowny youth who lived all his 20 years in New York and can scarcely write his name, cut out the last of his paper toys today and stole glances at a picture of the electric chair pasted on his cell wall. He dies in the chair at Sing Sing to night lor murdering a policeman. "I didn't want to forget It," said Crowley, explaining with a leer why he pasted up the picture of the chair when they put him In the death house. Probe Into His past-''-' Experts tried to find in his post, the reasons why the twisted youth raged through the scries of crimes that brought him the nick-name "Two-Gun." He was the son, his attorney Bald, of Dora Dietz, a servant girl; and a private policemen who" never mar ried her. Shortly after birth he wns taken to the baby farm of Mrs. Anna Crowley, the lawyer said. Growing into adolescence with a mind re tarded, he turned from school to tawdry dance places and shady re sorts. " ... His name was linked with a series of holdups. Then came an alarm' for him in the killing of Virginia Bfan- ncn,4nme-a-dance girl who was shot and tossed from an automobile into a Yonkers hedge. Patrolman Slain One night patrolman Frederick Hlrsch, of Nassau county, thinking to stop a petting party, approached a parked automobile. Its occupants were Crowley and his Bveetheart, Helen 'Walsh. Crowley shot him dead and sped away."-" 1,1 ' "'' , ' A few vdaysfJ later 7 Wte&ives1 ""cor nered 'him, the girl and Rudolph 'Dur inger. truckman, In an apartment house on the upper west side.

Huringcr Executed ' Duringer was executed for killing Miss Brannen. In his cell Crowley began building paper bridges and apartment houses. Defense alienists said he was ,a ''uior ol imbecile." The state said he was sane. More than 2000 people have applied to Warden Lewis E.

With Belts at center, the Mountaineers are expected to get the tip-oii a majority of the time, and possession of the ball at that stage of the gome spells a lot in the type of pluy likely to be shown. That Al bany's defense is penetrable also is demonstrated by the score chalked up by the veteran Whitman team, favor ed to win the 1932 Northwest con ference title this year. The game toninht also will serve as a measure for figuring the Moun taineers' chances against Whitman college, which entertains the E. O. N. at waiia Walla Saturday, Jan. 30.
