mended by the president, the sen

initial amount of the $500,000,000
revolving fund and the $1,500,000

the democratic leader, asked why the
whole amount of $500,000,000 was
not appropriated.

would not be necessary to appropri
ate the whole amount at this time.
Wood added the president had ex
plained that the amount needed could

lost a very valuable team. One of

lock jaw and died and a few days

jit died a short time later. .
Mr. tienaricKS was ai umaua uu
Saturday, where he was engaged in
picking out another team at the

coming at the very busy season of
the year has been a source of a great
deal of annoyance and delay in the
farm work.

Senate Action on Tariff Bill Awaits
Committs Paring; Norris Lame
Duck Bill Out.
Washington, June 18. After or
dering a general revision of the tar
iff and appropriating $150,500,000
to start President Hoover's farm re
lief program, congress began packing
up today for a summer vacation.
The house and senate will adjourn
tomorrow afternoon, the senate get
ting a two-months' vacation, while
the house undoubtedly will be gone
! until September. The vacation was
ordered because the president's legis
lative program for the special session
has been completed, except for tariff
revision, and that will will not be
ready for the senate until late Aug
ust. j A number of house and senate com
mittees will have to work during the
; hot summer months, led by the sen
'ate finance committee, which is re
vising the house tariff bill.
Norris Lame Duck Bill Up.
A number of important matters
will be sidetracked until after the
recess and then may meet with such
opposition as to prevent action on
jthem at the special session. Leading
this list will be the Norris constitu
tional amendment, eliminating "lame
duck" sessions of congress. The sen
ate has passed it five times in the
last six years, but the house never
has acted upon it.
The senate meanwhile has ordered
a general revision of the tariff. Just
as the house did when originating
the new bill. The proposal of Sen
ator Borah (R.), Idaho, to limit the
revision to agricultural schedules and
"directly related subjects," was de
feated by a single-vote margin, 38
to 39.
t The senate also rejected the
amendment of Senator Jones (R.),
Washington, limiting the revision to
farm products and such industries a3
gave evidence of needing greater tar
iff protection. Omaha Bee-News.

SAFETY X-RAY VAULTS TESTED
Washington, June 15. Construc
tion of special vaults equipped with
sprinklers for the storage of X-ray
films would prevent a recurrence of
the Cleveland clinic disaster In which
125 persons lost their lives from the
noxious gases given off by burning
cellulose.
This fact was definitely determin
ed by a special board representing
.the army chemical warfare service
which investigated the Cleveland dis
aster and submitted Its report Satur
day. Such a vault was constructed by
the board. Besides the sprinklers, it
contained a vent Just below the roof,
held closed by a 155-degree Fahren
heit fusible link. One thousand
pounds of X-ray film were placed in
the chamber and then set afire. The
fire was extinguished automatically
before 5 per cent of the film had
burned.
In the course of the experiments
the board found X-ray films can be
set afire by any heat in excess of
220 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus con
tact with hot steam pipes or electric
light bulbs will start destruction.
In such cases there is no flame, the
film merely smouldering. But smould
ering film, it was found, throws off
noxious gases carbon monoxide and
oxides of nitrogen in much greater
volume than when the films burn
quickly.
Tests with commercial fire ex
tinguishers developed they are use
less in extinguishing blazing film.
Only water, in large amounts and
applied in time, was found to be ef
fective. As for rescue work, the board
found the ordinary filter masks afford
no protection. An "oxygen helmet"
must be used.
CALL FOR WALKER'S DEFEAT
New York The Citizens' Union
; Sunday issued a report reviewing the
i administration of Mayor James J.
jWalker and asking that the mayor be
defeated at the cominf election be
cause of his record. The report of
the union, a nonpartisan organiza
tion, characterized the mayor as
"wanting in leadership, courage and
militant honesty," and charged him
with considering the desire3 of the
"politicians, his personal friends
and 'associates." before weighing the
interests of the city.
The report referred to the mayor
as "an engaging personality," but
held him in part to blame for al
leged graft in city departments be
cause of his method of dealing with
hi3 subordinates.
It declared he showed weakness In
dealing with Joseph A. Warren as
police commissioner, condemned the
failure of the police to find the slay
er of Arnold Rothstein and also
criticized the administration of Po
lice Commissioner Grover A. Whalen,
Warren's successor.
