For the coat at the left wool velours In red was chosen and a matching red in the small felt hat to be worn with it. The eoat-and-hat-to-match Idea is an outstanding feature in children's fashions ; in fact, an ensemble in one color from top to toe, is the tipex of good style. Lanvin has added a scarf as a nei-k fini&h :-nd introduced fur sections la the lower sleeves. Instead of a cuff. These might be in squirrel, mole, lludson-wtl or any short-haired pelt that harmonizes with the red used.

Farm Bloc Asks for More Extend ed Relief Law Prepared to Wage a Fight for Direct! Means of Handling Surplusses Oppose Jardine Plan. Washington. Dec. 23. The con cress ion a 1 farm bloc will not be con tent if the administration confines its program for solving the farmers difficulty to the pending co-operative marketing measure. Leaders rrom tne western iarm belt are preparing to wage a fight for some direct means of disposing of farm surplus through an export corporation. Their plan apparently goes much further that any either President Coolidge or Secretary Jardine has been willing to approve. Both have expressed opposition to proposals in-: volving price fixing or the buying and selling of surplus crops through a government agency. That the administration is con sidering the surplus crop problem however, was disclosed last night with the announcement by Mr. Jar dine that he intended to call a se ries of conferences with leaders in agriculture and economics to seek a solution through co-operative organi zations of farmers. Before any move is made in con gress by the farm bloc, efforts will be made to get the support of Pres ident Coolidge for their idea. Sen ator Capper (rep., Kansas) one of the recognized leaders of the move ment, declared today that they still hoped to get President Coolidge behind legislation to create an ex port corporation." Several bills have been prepared to set up a government corporation to handle surplus crops and the McNary-Haugen bill, which failed of passage at the last session, has been reintroduced in both the senate and the house. Senator Cummins (rep., Iowa) al so haa drafted a bill which virtually is a modified McNary-Haugen meas ure. He has attempted to get the indorsement of President Coolidge and Secretary Jardine, but so far has been without success. In addi- uon several representatives nave prepared bills dealing with surplus rops, and the western groups In both houses have made it plain that they will insist some sort of export measures.

Continuing, his letter said. "You know that I consider these under-cover investigations probably the surest way to break up the boot leg industry, and to bring the opera tors in this country to justice, I have asked congress for a consider able increase in the amount of the appropriation which may be used for the purpose, but of course I have assumed, and you must justify by assumption that this money will be used intelligently and -economically and never used wiathout complete justification." Andrews urged the administrators to take counsel with their district. attorneys to "avoid any such con duct as will make possible a suc cessful defense of the accused on the basis of 'entrapment Even lack ing such a defense, he pointed out, a cluprit might avert punishment by! showing expeditures of public funds so large as to impress a jury unfav orably.

PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEIZIY JOURNAL GERMS LOSE POWER IF OUT OF PLACE Russian Scientist Make Valu able Discovery. Washington. Genus of disease that are deadly to an animal or a hu man Deing ix they find their way into the part of the body they usually af flict, may be entirely harmless if they are planted in another organ or tissue. Doses of anthrax germs a thousand times larger than an ordinary fatal In jectlon have been introduced into the bodies of guinea pigs with no more effeet than so much salt water; yet if the slightest trace of the fluid con taining them found its way into a scratch on the skin, the animal very quickly died. These experiments, which promise revolutionary results in the sciences or Dacterioiogy and pathology, are oe- ing conducted at the Pasteur institute in Paris by Dr. A. Besredka, a young Russian scientist, according to Dr. Erwin F. Smith, pathologist of the United States Department of Agricul ture, who has just, returned from a tciir of inspection through European laboratories. Doctor Besredka, he sayst has dis covered an entirely new principle In bacteriology which has been named local Immunity." According to this principle, disease-causing organisms are frequently quite Impotent to do harm away from their usual habitat. Anthrax, for example, Is always an affliction of the skin and surface tis sues. Doctor Besredka devised means for planting cultures of the germs deep in the muscular tissue, in the lungs and elsewhere in the bodies of guinea pigs. Aside from a little inflammation, probably due to the me chanical irritation of the instruments used, the animals showed no signs of harm from the usually deadly or ganisms. Less serious skin infections, like those caused by staphylococcus, the germ of boils, were shown to act In the same way. Doctor Besredka's discoveries have already become of practical impor tance in medicine.

Norris to Fight House Tax Bill Howell Too, Declares He Will Work "To Secure for Equitable and Just Law. Washington, Condemning the tax bill passed by the house of re presentatives on December 18 as a "millionaire's bill," Senator Norris of Nebraska has announced that he will fight the measure when it comes before the senate. Senator Howell of Nebraska de clared that when the bill came into senate he would work to "secure for Nebraska and the nation a more equitable and just revenue law than has been passed by the house." "The revenue bill as passed by the house is indefensible," Senator Nor ris said. "Practically all reductions made in revenue under the bill are made from taxes on incomes of those who are immensely wealthy. Reduc tion of surtaxes is almost entirely on incomes that are very large. Called Backward Step. "The reductions in inheritance taxes on the big fortunes, contained in this bill, are a greater step back ward than has been taken by con gress since the war. "An inheritance tax with a large exemption is no hardship to anyone. It ought to be a permanent method of dealing with large fortunes. "The house bilj also repeals pub licity of income tax returns and thus invites men Of great wealth to con ceal their real incomes. Senator Howell said reduction ot inheritance and surtaxes is, in his opinion, a grievious mistake. "I also regard the repeal of the publicity feature a distinct step backward," he said.

As one of a series of bombardments of repub lican tariff policies, Representative Oldfield (Ark.), chairman of the democratic national congressional committee, introduced in the house today a resolution for the appoint ment of a special committee of five members to investigate duties on cotton goods with a view to down ward revision of rates. t Iu a statement explaining the pur- ! Pse of the resolution, Mr. Oldfield singled out four cotton mills control led by Senator William M. Butler (rep., Mass.), chairman of the repub lican national committee, as an ex ample of what he regarded as giving proof that existing duties are unnec essarily high.
