Disregarding party lines, the house Monday night adopted a resolution to appropriate $10,000,000 for the purchase of food supplies for destitute women and chil dren in Germany. Sent to the senate by a vote of 240 to 97, the measure stipulated that the foodstuffs were to be bought in the United States and transported to Ger many in shipping board vessels. Three hours woro devoted to debate, after which a score of amendments were offered. Only one, by Repre sentative Jones, democrat of Texas, which provided that the supplies should be purchased wherever possible through fanners' organizations, was adopted, 1(15 to 08. A amendment by Representative Fitzgerald, republican, Ohio, would have sought to prevent expenditure of any of the appropriations until a sol dier bonus bill was enacted into law. It was thrown out on a point of order, while an amendment by Representa tive Underbill, republican, Massachu setts, to withhold the appropriation until the Herman government spends an equal amount for the same purpose, was rejected, 108 to 84. Represntative Fish, republican, New York, author of tho resolution, and an ex-service man, led the fight for adop tion, while Representative Conally, democrat, Texas, directed the attack against the measure. Representative Burton, republican Ohio, declared tho resolution to be constitutional, whilo an opposite view was taken by Representative Tucker, democrat, Virginia. Tho Ohio mem ber said It afforded an opportunity for "charity" and needed relief. Mr. Tuck er insisted it would tend to consoli date the German vote, but would mean nothing as a relief measure because but 2 1-5 cents per day was available for each of Germany's 2,500,000, chil dren. The resolution, Representative Mc Keown, democrat, Oklahoma, said at tempts to excuse tho United States' "lack of a foreign policy" and instead of relief, France should bo made to adopt "a proper course" towards Ger many or "pay her debt to tho United States." On the contrary, Representa tive! La Guardla, republican insurgent, New York, declared the bill would do "more good in fivo minutes than the league of nations In five years." A warm appeal for the resolution was made by Representative Cooper, republican insurgent, Wisconsin, who siiid that although Germany might have sufficient food, it was destitute of money with which to purchase it.

Geary, as attorney for the complainants, is conducting the case for the growers and shippers.

He contended that the cost of ship ments on tho lines under firo, from the interior points to Salt Lake and points in Colorado, Is considerably less than the rate charged on shipments to the Pacific coast, although tho distance is tho same and tho comparative con ditions of haul equal. Tho eastbound rates, he showed, average about $20 a car above tho rates to Portland, Se attle and Tacoma. Salem.

O Reflections of a Bachelor Qirl Bu HELEN ROWLAND "PERHAPS a man wouldn't Bee so many shocking things about tha modern girl's clothes, if that wasn't the kind that he always turns around to stare at. It Is awfully hard for a bachelor to reconcile those queer little springtime palpitations in his heart with his cyni cal views of love and his morbid deter mination never to marry. Alas, if a woman could only he like the circus never to grow old or tire some; always to be thrilling, dazzling, beautiful, with a hundred fascinating tricks that a man never wearies of ap plauding! The funniest thing on earth is to hear a bridegroom and a confirmed bachelor solemnly enlightening each other as to how to run a woman. Every time a woman asks a mnn If he loves her "as much as ever," It sort of makes him begin to doubt it. Even a satyr could win a woman, if he began telling her that his hoofs needed "a tender woman's care" to keep them out of mischief. The most fascinating married wom an can always find at least one man to go about with, who won't make love to her If she will try going about with her own husband. . Tou can melt a man's heart, as yon can melt iron, as long as the flame Is there; but, once his love has cooled, nothing will melt It but another flame. When a woman's vanity and a man's curiosity lead them to a kiss they blindly call It "love." (Copyright by Hrltn Kowland.) o A LINE O' CHEER By John Kendrick Bangs.
