Food administration regulations on profits irom meat packers neither benefit ted the public or the consumer, Stu art unase, an expert accountant em ployed on the federal trade commis sion told the senate agriculture com mittee today in presenting figures to show that profits of the five big pacKing concerns had doubled an! ireoiea auring tne war. Mr. Chase, who was testifying at the hearings on the Kendrick bill providing for government suDervi sion of the meat industry, said that no one knows accurately what the packers -earnings are because their methods of bookkeeping cover 'up meir proms. He declared, however, that examination by' the commission of the books of Armour and company. atoms ana company. Swift and com Papj. Wilson and corananv and the Cudahy company showed their aggre gate profits in 1912 were $18,715,- 000 and in 1917 $95,639,000. Profit Were Heavy Based on capital stock. Mr. Chase said Morris and company's profits in 1917 were 267.7 percent and that on the same basis Armour and com pany's proHts in 1916 were 114.2 per cent. Because of a later Increase in capital stock the percentage for Armour and company dropped to 27.1 in 1917. Swift and company's profits in 1917 were 23.2 per cent ta.sed on capital stock and surplus. Wilson and company's earnings for the same year were 29.6 percent on the combined capital and surplus. -'The witness said Thomas Wilson, president of Wilson and company re ceived an annual salary of $125,000 and Vice President Valentine of Ar mour and company, received $50,000 salary annualy with a bonus of $33. W00: s i He said ! h lie thought Vice President ' White" also receives the same amount, while President Mor ris of Morris and company is paid $50.000 Salary' with a $25,000 addi tional for being president of a stock yard company. , - Attorney's Keen Large Senator Morris of Nebraska sought to ascertain from Mr." Cbase as to whether, the packers books showing the payment of legal fees to attorr neys principally in state capitals for services in introducing bills and watchVig legislatures. He said he did not believe the wrole amount would exceed $50,000. The hear ing!, will be resumed tomorrow with Francis J. Heney of San Francisco again in the stand. , f ; ' t .

Friesen, two Polk county residents, who before coming to America were residents of Rus sia were refused naturalization pa pers in the circuit court here thl week by Judge Harry 11. Belt on ac count of classing themselves as "con scientious objectors to war."' Upon examination both applicants for cit izenship stated that they did not be lieve in war and would not fight for this country for the reasons above stated. Judge Belt has no use for persons of this makeup and as long as he is judge of the circuit court of this district an applicant for citizenship papers must show that he is a patriot and will fight for-this country as willingly as. a true American. In refusing the papers to the above par ties after they had stated their rea sons for not wanting to fight. Judge Belt stated: "A man must fight to kill if necessary to defend his coun try. Conscientious -objectors are of no benefit to this country, the oatb of allegiance means mnch, and when a man takes, that oath he cannot at tach any conditions to it and must go -where the government tells him to go and do as the government de sires. I cannot conscientiously ad mit one to citizenship, who expects me to do his fighting for him. Your are privileged to have your scruples and beliefs, but your petition will b denied on account of them." This is probably the first case of its kind to occur in the state but more will likely follow. WOMEN TO HAVE EQUAL STANDING (Premier Lloyd George De clares No Discrimination to Be Shown ORDER REDUCES PRICE OF "COAIJ ' i Order Effective on February 1 Governs Bituminous and Coke THE SHOW BIRDS. As every fancier, should want his exhibition fowls to show off at their best, he realizes that he certainly must give this question some con sideration. Unless the birds do show off at their liest he is not going to do much winning, for in this lies more than half . the battle. In the first place you mast work to get your birds tame and if they are Leghorns and they have been on range you have gome extra work before you un less you have a month ahead for the taming. Shut them up and handle them often. Yon .must handle them much as you have seen the poultry Judges handle them. Yon must feed well to get them up to standard weight. To get them in good condi tion adds to their general glossy ap pearance. A fewt under areight shows the fact plainly In its ragged, dnll color. - Waslr- the birds a few days 'before the show. White fowls should be washed! ' but If you have kept them on clean straw, unless yon know how to. do -this In the proper way, 'yon may spoil the Job. I have seen show birds too bine, too yellow. and the feathers stuck up with sbap. You may know what any poultry Judge would think of such birds. Al ways have an assistant when it comes to washing white birds, and experi ment on two or three white birds that are not to go in the show and from these find out whether they would do you credit or not. Three tubs . are ' necessary warm clear water in the first, warm soapy water in the second, and warm water with a slight bluing in the third. Wash them in a warm room and after each water take the fowl by the feet, glv ing it a toss upward. This causes it to flutter and shed much of the water in the feathers. Wipe it as dry' as possible after each -water. Keep in a warm room until the feathers are completely dry, then on clean straw. I. S. W ASHINGTON, Jan, 17. Fuel administration officials expect a de crease in the price of bituminous coal and coke to result from an order today discontinuing maximum prices on 4hese commodities and eliminat ing the zone system of their distribu tion.

(Corespond ence of The Associated Press) Ko discrimination is to be made against women In British Industry. Premier Lloyd George declares in a letter ad dressed to Lady Rhondda, prtsident of the Women's Inustrial League, who submitted to him a rnemcrial set ting forth the claims of women to freedom of employment. After the pledges made by the gov ernment ' to the trade unions have been fulfilled, wrote Mr. Lloyd George in his reply-, women will find niple scope In peace pursuits. He npports the principle of "equal ay for equal output." and promises full opportunity for women In training and education. "Td- those industrial . occuations In which women were engaged before the war," the premier added, "oppor tunities of every sort will be opened up for every class of women worker. and I believe that the real working representatives of organized labor may be trusted when the time comes to see the necssity of utilizing, in the interests of production and to the best advantage, every class of worker available." Regarding payment, he says: "To permit women to be the catspaw for reducing the level of wages is un thinkable. It is not desired by en lightened employers, to whom good production and uniform wages are desirable; cutting of wages, with it consequent instability, is not at jtpy time, euner in tnetr interest -or in that of the nation." Lady Rhondda urged In he me morial that artificial restrictions n the employment of women in indus tries should be removed, not only as a measure of justice to the sex, but in the interests of national industrial efficiency She asserted, that it was now threatened to withdraw even the imperial toleration" that was ex tended to women during the war and that in the industries in which they were invited with ufgency they should resume the condition of he lots. Such restrictions on their em ployment, she declared, were artifi cial. . . The present condition of women's employment. Lady Rhondda asserted- prevent them from being utilized in the natural interest. Women were not consulted in the arrangements for the reconstruction of industry She pointed out that while the gov ernment was bound by its agreement with trade unions there are many shops which had sprung up during the war in which the government's bargain with trade-unions would not operate, to exclude women from em ployment. Women, she declared. are seeking in industry a renewal or strife but a clear grant to them of their Just rights as human beings and freedom. of employment. They rec ognize, she added, that their claim comes after the claims of the sailors and soldiers in the war. "Women know that in some or tne occupations in which they have served during the war they have been only a makeshift by reason of Infer ior strength." Lady Rhondda admit ted, "and in the long run women must be excluded from such by the ordinary rules of economy. wun tVese reservations, women claim un restricted Iinerty to re engagea in any industrial employment, provld1 d that they receive the same pay as men do for equal output. Tney claim the provision of women in structors on ork in which women have proved more than successful than men. They claim the same op portunities as men for promotion. representation on government com mittees and all nnblic bodies and fa cilities of education In schools and universities thai will enable them to qualify equally with men in all suit able; trades and professions." POET OP CHTLDnOOD. ' Paid for by the pennies of children in America, Hawaii. Japan, and other places In the world, a statue of James Whltcomb Riley was unveiled recently In his native town of Green field, Indiana. ' , ' More than 1,000,000 children con tributed to the erectioa of the me morial, and, taking this and other facts Into consideration, we consider the Riley statue In Greenfield to be almost the most -precious Inanimate thing on this continent or sny other. It Is doubtless true thst the cus tom of raising statues to men and women has been overdone.. The great majority of them should be tumbled down. It is not only that so many of them are crimes against art and good taste, but they have no mean ing and never had. ' - But this statue to Riley Is another thing. It has a. meaning the very deepest meaning to all humanity. He was the poet of childhood!, and childhood thus remembers him and hands down his memory to the child hood of the future. If the critics have seen fit to place Robert Burns among the. five-great est of the world's poets, we feel Justl EMPLOYERS TO RECEIVE BLANKS Statewide Effort to Secure Work for Soldiers Will Be Launched i PORTLAND. - Jan. 17.-nrAs chair man of the United States Soldiers, and Sailors Employment bureau for Oregon. George .L. Baker, mayor of Portland, cooperating wun viur Smith, federal director of the United States Employment service. Is making a heroic effort to ascer tain conditions relating to employ ment and unemployment as existing In Oregon at the present time, and prospects for the next three months. There are now. according to re ports gathered by the United States employment service, about 000 men idle In the state. Thousands of sol diers and sailors are being released from service dally, and it is for th Imperative necessity of absorbing these men into the industrial life of the state that an active campaign now in full swing is being poshed most vigorously. Every employer in Oregon has been listed, and a blank will be -sent out durinr the coming week asking for fled in making a claim for Riley J Information as to the number of mt .

Quick action Is the keynote. Let everyone get kjisy who can. and start something in the way of improve ment that will give employment i one or more idle men. Relief from Taxation Proposed for Veterans Relief from taxation for veterans of the Civil war or limited means, or their widows, is the purpose of a bill by Senator Huston of Portland pro posing an amendment to section 35". 4. Lord's Oregon Laws. It would exempt the real or personal property of a soldier or sailor or the army or navy ot the United States who served in that; war. or the property or his' widow, up to $200 it the ex emption were claimed according to provisions or the measure. Forms in the hands ot assessors would have blanks for making exemption'claims and falw statements' made or sworn to would be punished as perjury. equally exalted. He - was very like Burns In many ways. He was not a scholar, his life was humble, his songs were for the hearts of Cod's common everyday people. Riley had an added gift that Burns did. not have the gift of appeal to the heart of a child. - Children loved his verses and understood them be cause he loved and understood chil dren. And he possessed the very rare and exceptional art of putting Into the musle of words the things of which childhood dreams. To uncover his secret more fully. we must realise that a Riley child poem Is the same thing as one child telling something to another child Like the poem of The Rsggedy Man-: - . - "O the Raggedy man be works for Pa; An' he's the good est man you ever saw. He comes to our house every day, . And waters the horses and feeds 'em hsy; An he opens the shed and we all 1st laugh When he drives out our little old wobble-dy calf ' And so it runs along, that dear and homely song of childhood. And so run along a hundred others, not only holding the child In their spell, but haunting also the grown-up heart with memories that had long been driven out by the struggles of life. It Is difficult to say which one of the many childhood poems Riley wrote that we would like best, but. as far as that goes, they might all be called favorites. " There are ever so many. people.' however, who can repeat more lines of "Little Orphant Annie," perhaps, than of any of the others: "Little Orphant Annie's come to our , , house to stay, - " An' wash the cups and saucers up. an' brush the crumbs a ay. An' shoo the chickens off the porch. an' dust the hearth and sweep. An' mske the fire an' bake the bread. an' earn her board an' keep; An all us' other children, when the supper things is done. We set around the kitchen fire an have the most est fun A-llstenln' to the witch tales 'at Annie tells about, . An' the Gobble-uns 'at gits you Ef you - ' Dont. Watch Out," We rejoice more, deeply over the monument that the children have build ed to James Whltcomb Riley than the building of any monument that we have ever heard of. although perhaps he didn't ' need any ether monument than that which shall for ever be in the hearts of children. H. Carr. BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edward Olive Tablets tie substi tute for calomel aro a mQd but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver Is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little ohve-colored tablets. -These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel docs, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold ci the trouble and cuid.lv correct it Why cure the liver at the expense ef the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strons liauids. It H best not to take calomcL but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. ( Most bcadacbo. "dullness" ' and that No Fatal Accidents Are Reported for Last Week .According to the report of the In dustrial accident commission for the week ending January 16. inclasive.. there were no fatal accidents out or the 42 reported. Of the total num ber received 408 were subject to the provisions of the act: 19 were ftnm firms and corporations that have re jected the act and two were from public utility corporations not sub ject to the act. - SURPLUS WHEAT IX THE WORLD. ! Another estimate of the ex porta- ble surplus of wheat In the world at the present time - places the . total number of bushels at CS8.000.000, as follows: United SUtes, 240.000.- 000; Canada, 80,000.000; Argentine (old wheat)., 48.000,000; Argentine (new wheat). 120.000.000; Australia (old wheat)., 1(0.000,000; Australia (new wheat. 40,000,000. The new wheat of Argentina and Australia figured in this estimate at 100.000.000 bushels is now being gathered, December and January be ing their harvest months! ; The old wheat In Australia Is the accumula tion since the war began. No surplus Is figured for India, and the new crop., which will be harvested next spring. Is not estimated. The Australian production will be smaller than last year, hut a total ot 125.000.000 bushels Is probable. If this Is realised the exportable surplus would correspond to. the Bromhall estimate. Whether or. not any de duction Is to be made from the old wheat for damage by weather and mice Is a question that cannot be an swered af this time. . The Argentine crop Is ripening un. der favorable circumstances. Acre age is slightly less than last year: , Other- estimates confirm the Broom- ' hall forecast for the sew crop but places the old wheat -at a smaller figure. India had a record crop, from which there should have. been a. Sur plus of at least 60.000.000 bushels. Only 8.000.000 bushels hare been ex ported. . There should still be old' wheat In India. Pre-war Importations of wheat the ' world over, were from 550.000.000 to CO 0.0 00,0 00 bushels a year. The world surplus now overbalances eon sumption, according to this estimate. On the other hand, only S20.000.000 bushels are available from North America, from which 1 0 0.00 0.0 00 bushels hare already been exported. That from the Southern Hemisphere Is available only as shipping can be supplied; the French production of about 825.000.000 bushels balanced domestic consumption, and the' last harvest was far below normaL Hun gary will import wheat. Russia Be-' fore the war was the world's second . largest producer and exporter; now it is asking help. Roamania and the Balkans can export nothing; while production in all the other countries of continental Europe Is smaller than pre-war average. For the present, the United States and Canada are the sources of wheat for Europe, with a surplus below needs.
