For Presentation When
House Met

ally was assured to-day as a result of
the action of the conferees of the two
houses in reaching a final agreement
on the Democratic revenue bill. lead
ers in Congress had determined to
press for speedy adoption of the con
ference report In both houses to-day
with a view to bringing the session to

Under the agreement proposed by the
Senate to Increase the tax on beer from
$1.50 to $1.76 a barrel and Imposing a
levy of five cents a gallon on rectified
spirits were eliminated. Failure to sub
stitute in lieu of these amendments
Representative Underwood's proposal
to restore the tax of two cents a gallon
on gasoline as contained In the House
bill will reduce the amount of revenue
as estimated under the Senate bill at
$105,000,000 to $90,000,000.
With members of Congress anxious
to make a "get-away" following ad
journment, Indications were to-day
that the measures in the proposed
scheme of cotton relief legislation to
permit the national banks to issue cir
culating notes based on commercial
paper up to 10 per cent, of unimpaired
capital and surplus and to license cot
ton warehouses would be "pocketed" by
the House. Absence of a quorum pre
vented action on these measures yes

ton relief plan to provide for a quar
ter of a billion additional currency
through issuance of United States
notes or Panama Canal bonds, was re
jected by a large vote.

NEW CABOOSE TESTS
ON THREE DIVISIONS
Steel Sleepers For Trainmen, Said
to Be Safe and Comfortable;
Big Improvement
With a view to testing; out the new
steel caboose cars now being construct
ed at the Altoona shops, three cars will
be run on the road this and next week.
One car will be run over the Philadel-
Bhia Division, another on the Middle
'lvision and a third on the Pittsburgh
Division.
Some time ago a car was built on
similar plans, but did not meet with
the approval of officials, and new plans
wore prepared. The cars to be tested
this week, It is said, will be strong
enough to stand the severest strain.
Consideration has also been given in
the construction of the ears, to the con
venience and comfort of trainmen*.
The car is thirty-one feet long and
weighs 38,000 pounds. The inside lin
ing, flooring, platforms and window
sash are of wood, the remainder steel.
The car Is equipped with stove for
heating and cooking, drop table, water
cooler, washstand, refrigerator, desk,
lockers, drawers and cupboards.
Three pairs of bunks, upper and
lower, are located along the sides of the
car. Including the "deck." sleeping
quarters are provided for eight men.
All locks and catches are embedded,
thus eliminating projections against
which a man might be thrown by a
sudden Jolt of the train.
Reading Men Dismissed. —A dispatch
from Reading states that forty em
ployes of the Reading Railway shops, at
Reading, were dismissed from service
yesterday for drinking.

behavior and alleged vandalism on the
special train for employes of the Read
ing Division which left Philadelphia at
11 P. M. Friday after the reception to
Vice-President A. T. Dice.
It Is alleged that seats were cut and
the car generally wrecked. It is under
stood that a general order has gone out
that employes of the Reading Company
caught drinking on or off duty in the
future will be summarily dismissed.

STEEL DEPRESSION
GROWS MORE ACUTE
Reported That Large Pittsburgh
Steel Plant Will Close
Completely
Paper* to-day comment on the dis
appointing developments in the Iron
and steel markets. In many quarters
It was believed that October would
show the low point In the steel depres
sion and that operations would begin
to increase. Instead, however, further
retrenchments are contemplated and
It is reported that one large steel con
cern In the Pittsburgh district will
close down completely this week.
The Iron Age In its summary to
day says:
"With mill operations averaging 50
per cent, or less, and with no tangible
evidence that a better scale of buying
Is near at hand, sentiment In the steel
trade Is not improved. The belief that
October would show the low poinv
both In operations and new buying
was expressed in high quarters as the
month came in, but it is now only a
hope. The small buying waves/of Jan
uary-February and June-July seemed
to indicate that the late fall would
bring another, but the war has upset
all such calculations.
"Several blast furnaces in the Cen
tral West have blown out in October,
while others are scheduled to stop,
and It is reported from Pittsburgh that
a large steel plant in that district will
close down before the end of the
month. It is true that in some lines
the amount of business booked has
not shown a progressive falling off in
October, but shipments on contracts
have been for some time so much In
excess of new orders that a still lower
rate of operations is In prospect."

HOMES OF WOMEN WRECKED
BY THE INVADERS
Women deserve a better fate
American women are better off than
their European sisters in most re
spects. Our American girls, however,
are of highly nervous organization and
usually suffer from troubles peculiar
to their sex.
When a girl becomes a woman,
when a -womiin becomes a mother,
when women pass through the
changes of middle life, are the three
periods of life when health and
strength are most needed to with
stand the pain and distress often
caused by severe organic disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the en
tire female system perfectly regulated
and in excellent condition.
Mothers, if your daughters are
weak, lack ambition, are troubled with
headaches, lassitude and are pale and
sickly, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is just what they need to surely
bring the bloom of health to their
cheeks and make them strong and
healthy.
For all diseases peculiar to woman,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
powerful restorative. During the lpst
40 years it has banished from the
lives of tens of thousands of women
the pain, worry, misery and distress
caused by Irregularities and diseases
of a feminine character.
If you are a sufferer, if your daugh
ter, mother, sister needs help get Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription In
liquid or tablet form at any medicine
dealers to-day. Then addross Dr.
Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.,
and you will receive confidential ad
vice from a staff of specialists- that
will not cost you a penny. To-day is
the day; 136 page book on women's

Late Dispatches Tell
of Saccess For Allies
Paris, Oct. 22, 6.55 A. M.—The lat
est dispatches from the battle front
in France and Belgium told just
enough to make the public eager for
more. The allies' positions having
been everywhere maintained against
the onslaughts of the enemy, to-day's
official statement of the war office was
the object of hope on the part of the
French.
Meanwhile the fighting forces, be
fore resuming the contest sought anew
to discover the weak spot In the lines
of one another. The maxim of Na
poleon's memorial. "Do not attack in
the front the position you can obtain
by turning" is apparently a maneuver
j to which the Germans are adhering in
I what appears to be a supreme effort.
I In this battle of the north the allied
| armies, supported by 411 English
I squadron, have thus far successfully
withstood repeated and fierce attacks
I of the enemy.
