Reparations. Washington, D. C.—The senate, da- spite President Coolidge's Indorse ment refused 41 to 31, to authorise the proposed loan of >50,000,000 to farm are of the aprlng wheat belt to finance their start in the poultry, swine and Paris.—The report of the first com mlttee of experts under Brigadier-Gen eral Charles G. Daws«, which is prac tically agreed upon-t>y the experts. Is based on these fundamental findings: The German people must pay as mneh In taxes as fny of the people of the allied countries, Gentian y must psy the maximum of her capacity in reparations. The German economic machine must be free to function un- der German control, unhindered by any interference from the outside. Minimum sums must be paid once, or in the immediate future on reparations, these to be increased in proportion to the revival of Germany's prosperity and according to her econ omic conditions. In order to put Germany in a posi tion to carry out her part of the pro gram, the experts propose to set up an international bank, to have ex clusive right to the issue of German currency on a gold basis’. The suggestion of the experts that Germany’s economic machinery be freed of any interference from the outside means that the French and Belgians must hand over the admin istration of the Ruhr and Rhineland railroads and abandon economic super vision of the Ruhr mm mh and Indus tries. The French and Belgians will be left free to maintain garrisons in the Ruhr or Immediate vicinity. So while obliged to give up actual possession of the pledges seized in January, 1923, they will be able at any time to put their bands on the Ruhr, industries if Germany fail* to carry out the terms. In disposing of the proposal, car ried in ths Norbeck-Burtnes* bill as ths first of saveral special agrarian Physician and Surgeon relief measures, the senate divided along geographical rather than party lines.

It Is shown that green alfalfa pro duces much more pronounced “off” flavors and odors than does green corn. Even when 25 pounds of green corn is fed one hour before milking the milk Is only slightly tainted; if fed af- ter milking nothing undesirable is no tlceable. Feeding 80 pounds of green alfalfa one hour before milking, or as little as 15 pounds, produced objec- tlonable flavors and odors. In some regions root crops are used to supply succulence in the fall and winter, and'among these crops turnips nre one of the most commonly given. They hnve long been suspected of be ing responsible for off flavors and odors In milk. Feeding 15 pounds of turnips an hour before milking produced taints, and increasing the quantity fed to 80 pounds greatly Intensified them. By feeding even the maximum quantity just after milking practically all the objectionable flavors and odors were avoided. As In the case of alfalfa, slight off flavors and odors were re moved and strong ones reduced by aeration. The taints were more no ticeable in the cream than in the milk.

A* »ne of your trustee* aed^ye^» father’* eld friend, L think it my duty to talk plainly to you.” • Rob « mt Scott, to whom, the lawyer was dealing out tills excellent advice, was a young man, and a* a rule young men do not take kindly to good ad- rice. But “Bob” Scett di*pl«yed a re- jeptive mood, which rather astonished the legal gentleman. "I’ve rather thought of that myself,” remarked Bob after a moment’s con- ilderation, “but you see I’ve never been able to quite bring it off.” “Indeed!" »aid Mr. Braisted, elevat ing his eyebrows, “Any particular ine," replied Bob. “Clara Mowbray— tuess you know her.” The lawyer beamed: “Splendid,”’ cried he, "couldn’t have chosen better. Of course I know her. Fine girl. Have you ever approached her on the sub ject of matrimony?" “Well, I’ve tried for a year or so. I flatter myself she rather likes me." "But did you ever ask her right out to marry you?” "That’s what Tm trying to tell you about," replied Bob. “I tried to pro pose twice. The first time was on board Walter Bchemerhorn's yacht. The next time we were at Claud Mel ton’* house party I had Clara In a quiet corner of the library and had got Just as far in my remarks as I had on the yacht when a Jaes band which Mr. Melton had brought down from the city burst out with it* infernal racket, and though I persisted this time in finishing whst I had to say, th» condemned uproar was so great that, between the noise and the stammering, Clara didn't understand what I wa» saying. I began to think there was a sort of blamed hoodoo about and laid off a spell. Bat, do you know, Mr. Braisted, when you spoke to me just now about getting married I was con- sidering with myself whether I had not better call on Clara today and make another try at it.“ “I certainly should do so," replied lawyer^ 1 certainly should do se.” Now this wus all very well, and the love of Bob and Clara would have furnished no msterial tiff s story whatever, had not Mr. Braisted, about half an hour after his wsrd had left him had a visitor. In the person of Mrs. Mowbray, mother of the charming Clara, come to see him on business. Their business being transacted and personal conversation ensuing. Mr, at Collier’s Braisted could noT forbear congratu lating Mrs. Mowbray upon the pros pect of having a desirable son-In law In the person of Robert Scott. "Bob Scott!’’ exclaimed Mrs. Mow- bray. “Why, what makes you think Clara thinks a lot of him. I have been hoping he would propose. »What did he say?" - “Oh, nothing,” smiled Braisted, “only that he was going to offer his heart and his hand to the charming Miss Clara tonight. And a very con siderable fortune goes along with that heart and hand, Mrs. Mowbray—don’t overlook that.” Mrs. Mowbray was a good woman— a well-meaning woman, bet she lacked tact. It Is surprising how many well meaning women do lack tact. So the first thing the fond mamma did when •he reached home was to Inform Clara that Bob Scott was going to propose to her that night and order her to ac cept him. “Oh, Is he? ’ said Clara. "He has not been In a hurry about it. Who told you this more or less im portant news?”* \ "His trustee, Mr. Brftlsted,” replied Mrs. Mowbray. "Mr. Braisted ali proves highly of the match. “I gee. Ordered to marry,“ sa Id Clara. Mrs. Mowbray was In despair. She was vaguely aware that she had some how dropped a monkey wrench into the machinery of love and flew to the telephone with a request that Lawyer Brasted come to her as soon as pos sible, and reason with her misguided child. Mr. Braisted arri^d. Mrs. Mowbray poured out her story and her tear*. “And I know she loves him,’’ sobbed Mrs. Mowbray. “Ah, yes, hum," said the lawyer, “we must rea son with the young lady—yes reason with her. May I see her?" Mr. Braisted's name wa* sent up to Clara, who replied by the zervant that she would receive Ulm in the library— Alone. “Ah, Miss Clara,“ said Braisted when the two were together, "Charm ing day. There is a little matter I wish to speak to yoil about*—by re quest of your good mother."
