MR. SPANGLER
DEMANDS A CALL
House Polled and Rule on Ses
sions Is Promptly Or
dered in House
The House of Representatives
<vas polled to ascertain the presence
of a quorum at the start of last
night's meeting for the first time
this year. Roll calls have occurred
several times to find a quorum in
the midst of sessions, but not at
the opening of a meeting in years.
Over 120 members were found pres
ent and immediately afterwards
Chairman Ramsey, of the Commit
tee on Rules, presented a rule for
sessions on Tvesdays and Wednes
days at 10.30 a. m., 4 and 8.30 o. m.,
and on Thursday at 10 a. m.
When the resolution had been
adopted Speaker Spangler said it
would be "rigidly adhered to," add
ing that the Chair had been sur
prised at the "light manner in which
members regarded their responsi
bility and the meagre votes cast
upon important measures. He said
that the members owed to their con
stituents to attend meetings and
vote.
The adoption of the resolution
caught over 70 members out of town
and upset the plans of a number to
leave Wednesday morning for their
homes. The House has not held any
Thursday sessions and not more
than two on Wednesdays. The rule
will likely put an end to hearings.
The House then recessed for half
an hour to greet Col. Joseph H
Thompson, of the 110 th Infantry,
a former Senator, marching in a
body to the Senate.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
WRITES TREATIES
FOR NEW STATES
Special Committee Drafts
Pact to Protect
Minorities
J3j/ Associated Press.
Paris, May 28.—Acting on instruc
tions from the Council of Four a
special committee of experts is draft
ing a series of treaties with the
newly created states designed to pro
tect minorities, and particularly pro
tect the Jews against discriminations
of race, language and religion, lead
ing to disorders, riots and pogroms.
One of those who assisted in draw
ing up the treaties, summed them
up to-day as follows:
"They guarantee substantially the
same equality and freedom of ft ace,
language and religion as we have in
the United States. While it is diffi
cult to frame any specific provision
against mob violence, yet this usually
results from racial discrimination,
and, by establishing strict equality,
we hope to eliminate the causes lead
ing to riots."
The views of British and Amer
ican Jews have been considered dur
ing the framing of the treaties,
which, however, are not restricted to
Jews, but cover all races and relig
ions.
Deny Jap Agents Made
Treaty With Germans
Tokio, May 28.—The Foreign Of
fice has denied as "unequivocally
false" a statement published in Chi
nese newspapers that Japanese
agents in 1916 and 1918 concludes
secret agreements with Germany.
DEMOBILIZE
WAR PIGEONS
About 10,000 English Birds
Sold in France and
Belgium
London, May 28.—Demobilization
of English war pigeons and men who
care for them in France has taken
place, with the exception of birds
and men selected for the Army of
Occupation. About 10,000 birds that
had served their country faithfully,
were sold in France and Belgium
and the proceeds of sale divided
among charitable institutions of
those countries and England, in ac
cordance with the wish of the breed
ers, who had donated the pigeons
to the British army.
Many a man owes his life to the
rapid flight of a pigeon from a brok
en-down seaplane. In the battle of
Messines, 1,200 pigeons were used to
carry messages, not a single one of
which went astray.
The German pigeon service was
very thorough. A Birmingham medal
maker imitated so perfectly a mes
sage container devised by the enemy,
that it was possible to send a num
ber of "dud" messages to German
lofts with their own captured birds.
INDEX COMPLETED
The Russell Index Company, of
Pittsburgh, has delivered the last
forty-six index books to the Re
corder's office in the courthouse. "I
feel that under the reorganization
plan," said Recorder James E.
I.entz to-day, "that the office is in
better shape than ever, and the
records protected and so arranged
that they can be easily found."

EULRRISBURG TELEGRXPB
LAUDS U.S. PLAN
OF EDUCATION
Boys Get Better Training, Is
the Opinion of Lady •
Beecham
Dondon, May 28.—The American
system of education has a great ad
vantage over the English plan in en
abling boys attending day schools
to live at home and receive the care
and guidance of their mothers. This
is the opinion of Dady Beecham,
wife of a famous music conductor.
Sir Thomas Beecham.
Dady Beecham thinks that many
pitfalls in English married life
would be avoided if the boys of this
country saw more of their homes
and learned to understand women.
Boys of well-to-do families in
England rarely see their parents ex
cept during holidays. They attend
boarding schools, beginning in their
early 'teens, some when they are
only seven or eight. As a rule these
schools are so far distant from the
pupils' home that their parents see
the boys only for a month at Christ
mas, a month at Easter and during
the midsummer' holidays which last
about six weeks.
It is the children of the poor that
attend the day schools, or "free"
schools, as they are called. The
public schools of the United States
have no counterpart in Great Bri
tain. What are known as "public"
schools here are the fashionable pri
vate boy's schools like Eton, Harrow
and Rugby, .entrance to which is so
difficult that boys are booked for
them in their boyhood.
l,ady Beecham, after pointing out
the advantage of the American day
schools, says that boys "growing up
in this way to comprehend their
mothers, when they marry have far
more sympathy with their wives."
"I think," she continued, "that
much conjugal trouble in this coun
try is due to our system of educating
our sons. The English boy sees lit
tle of his mother and sisters, al
most nothing of femininity in gen
eral, and grows to manhood under
standing the minimum about the
ideas and ideals of women. When
he marries his experience is often
gained at the expense of his wife,
which doij_not make for happy mar
riage.
"It is almost revolutionary to con
demn our fine old public schools,
with their enormous weight of tra
dition, but I confess I would like to
see the day school and the co-edu
cational system, so common in Amer
ica, play a much bigger part in the
upbringing of our sons."
Helping Russians
Run Their Railroads
Titsikar, Manchuria, May iB.
Right at the edge of the great Mon
golian desert, * Major George H.
Tower, of Eauclaire, Wis., and eleven
other American engineers, have la
bored throughout a rigorous winter,
helping the Russians run their great
Trans-Siberian railroad, now disor
ganized and sorely in need of Amer
ican assistance. These sturdy men
form a section of the corps of work
ers organized by John F. Stevens,
the American engineer, in an at
tempt to reorganize the railroad.
"We've had it 55 below zero here,"
said Major Tower to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press, "but
we've got used to it. Still, it is
cold. You can't deny that and the
nights are pretty long."
The Major said he and his asso
ciates had charge of the railroad
section between Titsikar and Hailar,
and that 147 locomotives were as
signed to their section. They were
always waiting for the time when
they would be given a bigger op
portunity to help in reorganizing
the railroad.
Both Titsikar and Hailar are great
centers for the soya bean industry
for which Manchuria is famed. Also,
the district abounds in cattle.

Daily Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE
By Dr. W. Lucas
People get sick because they go
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well Is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every
ill. Some of these vegetable growths
are understood by man, and some
are not. Animals, it would seem,
know what to do when they are sick
better than men and women. Ob
servers have noted that a sick horse,
dog or cat will stop eating food and
seek out some vegetable growth in
the field or yard, which, when found
and eaten, often restores appetite
and health. Haven't you seen these
animals do this very thing yourself?
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long
since found the herbs and roots pro
vided by Nature to overcome consti
pation, and he had these vegetables
collected and made up of Mayapple,
leaves of Aloe, root of Jalhp, into lit
tle white, sugar-coated pills, that he
called Dr. Pierce's P\easant Pellets.
You must understands that when
your intestines are stopped up, poi
sons and decayed matter are impris
oned in your system, and these are
carried by the blood throughout
your body. Thus does your head
ache, you get dizzy, you can't sleep,
your skin may break out, your appe
tite declines, you get tired and de
spondent. As a matter of fact, you
may get sick all over. Don't you
see how useless all this suffering is?
All that is often needed is a jnw of
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which
he has placed in all drug stores for
your convenience and hea'th. Tiy
them by all means. They are prob
ably the very thing you need right
now. j
