Government Intervenes "
To Prevent Mine Strike
Washington, Oct. 8. The govern
ment intervened to prevent any 'pos
sible stoppage or coal production
next March, when the bituminous
miners' , wage scale agreement ex
pires, but its efforts after a four-hour
conference at the White House--be-tween
President Harding, Secre
taries Hoover and Davis .and union
officials, were said to have been with
out immediate avail.
The conference was held when the
ecntral committee of the United
Mine Worker-of .America, Jieaded
by John L. Lewis, president of the
organization, came here at the re
quest of President flarding to dis
cuss with the.administration the pos
sibility of an undertaking" to arhi
tiate any ultimate "differences with
the-operators prior to the expiration
of the national agreements in March.
At the conclusion of the confer
ence Mr. Hoover issued the follow
ing: statement: . ;
"The conference with the miners
representatives was "in sequence of
discussions carried on last week with !
representatives of the coal operators
under the auspices of the unemploy
ment conference. The desire of the
conference was to determine if steps
could be taken now that would min
imize the danger of stoppage in coal
production "at" the' expiration ot -the
national agreements at the end 'of

Dakota, charged in the senate.
Senator McCumber' Lpeech was
one of kcvcrat which enlivened the
consideration of the Borah bill,
scheduled to come to vote on Mon
day. The debate failed to reveal
any change in the lineup of the op
posing factions and unless there is
some unexpected development over
Sunday the measure will be passed
, by the senate witl a majority of
about a dozen votes.
"The world has branded Germany
,n a dishonorable nation because,
with the exigency of a great war be
fore it in which military necessity
was the controlling question, it de
clared that its treaty with Belgium
was but 'a scrap of paper,'" said
Senator McCumber.
Asked to Break Treaty.
"Without any such exigency be
fore us and without even an at
tempt being made to secure a modi
fication ufc our solemn obligations,
we are asked to declare that tue'Hay
Pauccfote treaty shall be treated as
a mere scrap of paper! Our physical ;
power iu uo mis is just as unques-j

that no other railroad company
should have the right to run its trains

Diggers Unearth Pot
Of Counterfeit Gold
' Money at Arapahoe
Arapahpe,. ; N'eb., : Oct. 9. (Spe
cial.) Workmen - digging i sewer
trench into the Park hetet yard
here unearthed a pot of counterfeit
$5 and $10 gold pieces.'. Some of the
coins were perfect imitations of real
money, while others were not com
pleted, gold Coating having been ap
plied to one side-only. - :
They-were dated 1881 and 1882,
leading--to the- conclusion that the
counterfeiters were at work during
those years or shortly afterward. Old
residents.'. say" this' town and sur
rounding territory was .flooded 'with
spurious gold coins in $5 and $10
denominations between the years
1880 and 1885, and that two gangs
of counterfeiters -were arrested at
that time. Two men, supposedly pro
fessionals, were arrested in Arapahoe
in 1881 with a complete outfit for
the making of spurious money in
their possession.
The pot found by the diggers was
at a depth of six feet and the coins
wrapped.- -separately in pieces of
newspaper.-"-It is. thought that it
may have been buried by members
of a counterfeiters' gang who be
came frightened when their leaders

By K. M. ELISIf.
New York, Oct. 9. lis t.ok cf
helping win the war in the t.tr ra-t
finished, silver is coming b.n k to the
United States. Millions of dollars of
the precious metal, exported from this
country in the dark war day early
in 1918. when the Germans were
ham muring at the gates of Paris, are
now coming back from the orient
after serving to allay the fears of
the native imputations to whom the
term "legal tendr means silver
Silver protection throughout the
world could not meet the demands
of the eastern countries during the
war, flushed w'th wartime prosperity,
and requiring additional currency to
finance their growii'g commerce.
Silver was used during the war to
offset the propaganda of German
agents in the far east. While the
allied forces held back the Germans,
a flood of silver from this country
completely offset the German efforts
to stir up trouble there Silver dol
lars, idle in the vaults of th-t Un ted
States treasury, were mel'.cd into bars
and shipped to the orient to restore
the natives' waiiinr: confidence in
their currency and the allied credit.
Outflow of $813,808,536.
The imperative necessity of dispell
ing disqu eting reports in the far east
about the reserves was due to the
importance of silver in the economic
lite of the tar east it is tne money
of the bazaars of India. It is the
coin in which bills are paid and pur
chases made, and is the com w.th
which the native lias been familiar
since childhood and the o-'e bullion
in which he places absolute conli-
deiice.
The size of this outtlow of silver
from the United States in the days
when it was considered a necessity
to aid in winning the war may be
judged from the figures of the di
rector of the mint, in tne six years
from 1915 to 1920, inclusive, imports
of silver into the Lmted States
amounted to $368,933,478, while ex-
oorts totaled $813,808,536. an excess
of exports over imports of $444,875,-
078. Production of silver m the
United Slates in the same period
was sjj,jo)UO. from ivio to
1919 inclusive the amount of new
silver consumed in the arts in the
United States was valued at $95,-769,681.

How film ruins
Film is that viscous coat you feel.
It clings to teeth, enters crevices
and stays. The ordinary dentifrice
does not effectively combat it So,
despite the tooth brush, it has
caused tremendous damage.
Film absorbs stains, making the
teeth look dingy. It forms the
, basis of tartar. It holds food sub
stance which ferments and forms
add. It holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
It breeds millions of germs and
they, with tartar, are the chief
cause of pyorrhea.
Pepsodent combats these film
caused troubles as nothing else
has done.
Combats acid
Pepsodent also multiplies the
salivary flow. It multiplies the
starch digestant in the saliva, to
digest starch deposits that cling.
It multiplies the alkalinity of the
saliva, to neutralize the acids which
cause decay.
In these ways it acts as fruit
1 acids do. With every use it multi
plies Nature's teeth-protecting
forces, t Old methods had the op
posite effect.
