which Taris is generously paid by
American importers.
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. There are several fashionable
shades of this color that will make

Farm Bloc Asks

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.

Washington. Genus of disease

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. After showing that

Since typhoid fever is a disease of

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.

committee, introduced in the house
today a resolution for the appoint

members to investigate duties on

singled out four cotton mills control
led by Senator William M. Butler
(rep., Mass.), chairman of the repub

proof that existing duties are unnec
