AMENDMENTS TO.) The request of President Harding to sanction the participation of the United States in the World Court, presented by Senator King on March 3, was postponed. On the following day Congress adjourned without sanctioning the President's ship subsidy legislation or his recommendation to join the World Court. In the House the annual appropriation bills were passed, including Post Office, $584,614,000; Agriculture, $69,068,000; and Department of the Interior, $294,347,000. On Jan- UNITED STATES uary 9, the Judiciary Committee voted by 12 to 2 to dismiss impeachment charges against Attorney-General Daugherty.

On January 11, an amendment was passed agreeing with the Senate which raised the Cuban Legation to the rank of Ambassador. On January 19, the House passed an Army Appropriation Bill of $333,000,000. On January 23, by a vote of 223 to 101, the House voted to submit a Constitutional Amendment to the States to permit the Government to tax incomes received from State and local securities and to allow States to tax incomes received from Government securities. On January 25, Attorney- General Daugherty was exonerated from charges made against him by a vote of 204 to 77.

The Sixty-eighth Congress convened on December 4, 1923, and on December 6 President Coolidge delivered his message in person. It included discussion of many important matters, including the League of Nations, World Court, Russia, war debts, the budget system, tax reduction, tariff revision, railroads, prohibition, lynching, civil service, public buildings, army and navy, soldiers' bonus, coal, farm relief, and irrigation and reclamation. The President advocated the entrance of the United States in the World Court; emphasized the necesito reductiomphasized necessity of tax reduction by the passage of the Mellon Law; urged legislation in aid of shipping; emphasized the necessity of enforcing the Prohibition Law: declared his opposition to the soldiers' bonus, and pointed out the necessity for relief of farmers. His message, on the whole, was well received by the country. Frederick H. Gillett was reelected Speaker of the House. In the Senate a contest which lasted for several weeks was fought over the chairmanship of the Committee of Interstate Commerce, which was held by Senator Cummins of Iowa, who was at the same time president pro tempore of the Senate. By a combination of the radical Republicans and Democrats, Senator Smith, a Democrat, was finally elected chairman of the committee, thus bringing about a situation which never before occurred that of a chairman of an important committee as a member of the opposition party in Congress.

Foreign Relations. The relations of the United States with foreign countries during 1923 was in the main friendly. A treaty was negotiated with Great Britain providing for the seizure of vessels carrying liquor outside the three-mile limit. (See PROHIBITION.) Friendly relations were reestablished with Mexico as a result of an agree- UNITED STATES a ment made with diplomats in the two countries. Unfortunately, a Mexican revolution disorganized somewhat plans made for renewal of relations between the two countries. The United States Government in response to a request from President Obregon, sold to him arms and munitions to be used in the suppression of rebellion. A treaty was concluded with Turkey. (See LAUSANNE CONFERENCE; TURKEY.) The Government again refused to resume diplomatic relations with Russia. (See RUSSIA.) On January 4 the American detachment of troops stationed in Germany left Coblenz. On February 2, Major General Allen withdrew, but was made unofficial observer on the Inter- Allied Rhineland High Commission. On May 20 the Government presented war claims of $366,113,000 and private American claims of $1,479,064,313 to the Mixed Claims Commission against Germany. On October 6 a plan outlined by Secretary Hughes for an economic conference was accepted by France, provided the commission be appointed by the Reparations Commission, and that it contain an American. The French Government suggested that the conference be confined to the present capacity of Germany to pay reparations. President Coolidge declined to participate under these conditions, but on December 11 consent was given to have two committees appointed by the Reparations Commission, one to discuss the balancing of Germany's budget and the other to investigate Germany's capital. On the following day Charles G. Dawes and Owen D. Young were asked by the Reparations Commission to join the committee of inquiry into Germany's financial position. They both accepted and on December 24, Henry M. Robinson was added, making three American members of the Commission. General Dawes was appointed chairman.

National Politics. The various activities which mark the year preceding the election began early in the year. The first definite move, however, in regard to possible presidential candidates was the announcement by Senator Underwood in a speech to the Alabama Legislature on July 21, that he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination. Other prominent Democratic candidates were William G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury under President Wilson, Alfred E. Smith, Governor of New York, Samuel M. Ralston, formerly Governor of Indiana and James A. Reed, United States Senator from Missouri.

Following the death of President Harding, President Coolidge became at once UNITED STATES a leading candidate for the Republican nomination. Hiram Johnson, United States Senator from California, also entered the field. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin headed the so-called radical elements and it was generally considered that he would head a third party. The Republican National Committee on September 14 reduced the Southern representation to a basis of the actual votes cast in 1920, thereby gaining 52 delegates at the National Convention. On December 1 a so-called "proposed convention" was held in South Dakota. President Coolidge was preferred by the Republicans to Senator Hiram Johnson and William G. McAdoo was preferred to Henry Ford by the Democrats, thus assuring President Coolidge and Mr.

McAdoo first position on the ballot of the primaries to be held in March, 1924.

The Republican National Committee, on December 12, selected Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio, Oh for the National Convention to be held on June 12, 1924. It reversed its former action in regard to the Southern delegations and permitted one delegate for each Congressional District, increasing the 37 Republican States by three delegates-at-large, and raising the total number of delegates from 1,036 to 1,109.

On December 19, Henry Ford announced that he would not oppose President Coolidge for the nomination as, in his opinion, ninety per cent of the people are satisfied with the President. - Navy. - The distinguishing feature in relation to the navy in 1913 was the putting into effect of the principle of limitation of naval armament by agreement in accordance with the treaty signed on Feb. 6, 1922. By the terms of VETERANS' BUREAU this treaty seven battleships and four battle cruisers were sold by the navy and were destroyed or under process of destruction during the year. Two battleships were turned over to the army air service and were destroyed in experimental bo bombing tests. Three other battleships will be used for target and various other experimental purposes.

The operations of the navy covered a wide field during the year. The March maneuvers of the combined fleet in the Panama region were carried on on a grand scale and established a new standard in efficiency. In aviation the navy took leading part, winning the Schneider Cup races in England, the Pulitzer Cup races in St. Louis and contests on Long Island. Naval aviators established 23 of the 35 world's records held by the United States. The Navy took a useful part in Europe in rendering aid to peoples in emergencies. It assisted in the exchange of populations between Turkey and Greece made necessary by the Lausanne Treaty and carried food, clothing and medical supplies to the victims of earthquakes in Japan and Chile. a UR OF THE CHALDEES.

ARCHEOLOGY.) (See UTAH. By legislation passed in 1923, dating from April 20, former service men were given the privilege of taking up homesteads of 400,000 acres of land in Emery and Grand Counties. Land which was not taken up by July 20 was opened to the gener 1 public. Mineral rights were not included in the proposed homesteads.

V VETERANS' BUREAU. Late in November, 1923, the public hearings held by the sub-committee of the Senate, investigating the Veterans' Bureau, were -closed. This investigation, begun in March and which cost about $15,000, eventually resulted in a report which in turn brought about the indictment of Colonel Charles R. Forbes, former director of the Bureau. The new director, General Hines, in submitting his annual report, said: "In all fairness it must be said that many of the criticisms were justified.

Through the criticisms of many individuals interested in the development of the Bureau great progress was made.

The Bureau has never fully recovered from conditions that existed during the war and immediately following the armistice, when all relief work was greatly expanded." According to General Hines, $444,648,639 was expended during the year ending June 30, 1923, for the relief of former service men and $23,029,253 for other Bureau purposes.

Up to June 30, 1923, awards for death and disablement were made in 446,115 cases. The total probable liability on the part of the Government an account of insurance of service men was figured at over one billion dollars, and 22,457 service men were rehabilitated during the year.

A special committee of three, consisting of ex-Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, Bishop Charles H. Brent, and General Harbord, had had these cases un- der consideration. As a result of their report the President took action, and in tences it was stated that the President and Attorney General had "decided to adopt and follow the majority opinion of the committee."

The new test consists of a serum which is mixed with a sample of the patient's before it becomes active in the lungs.

The party adopted the resolution for a Constitutional amendment to give women and men equal rights throughout the country. The delegates, following their meeting, went to Rochester, N. Y., and paid tribute to Susan B. Anthony, one of the early leaders of the movement.

WOMAN'S UNIVERSAL ALLIANCE.

This organization held its first annual conference on world welfare work at Washington, April 30, 1923. The purpose of the conference was to "offer women of the world an important forum for the study of and consultation on the great problems which now threaten the welfare of mankind."

WOMEN'S CLUBS, GENERAL FED- ERATION OF. This organization held its annual convention in Atlanta, in May, 1923. It discussed and passed thirteen resolutions, the most significant of which was one in favor of the World Court.

The other resolutions were chiefly aimed at various social reforms.

WOOD, ARTIFICIAL. The success in producing artificial wood from a mixture of 50 per cent sawdust with chalk and chemicals was claimed by a YOUNG, OWEN D.

Norwegian inventor. This mixture, when subject to a high pressure, has the same specific gravity as wood. It has the hardness of oak and can be planed, sawed, bored, painted and polished. It is declared to be impervious to rot and moisture and will not ignite at ordinary temperature.

WORLD COURT. The Permanent Court of International Justice began its second regular annual session in June, 1923. Several cases were presented.

These related to conditions in Finland, Poland and Germany. The international commission of jurists of the World Court, under the presidency of Professor John Bassett Moore, drew up a new set of "rules of warfare." These dealt with the use of wireless and the use of airplanes.

It was formulated that the radio stations of neutral powers must not be disturbed by belligerents. Neutral vessels sending information to a belligerent shall be liable to capture. Provisions were made against bombing private property by aircraft and the bombardment of cities and towns in the neighborhood of military operations is forbidden. These rules are to be formulated into a treaty to be submitted to the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan.

X X-RAYS. One of the great dangers in X-ray photography and treatment in the past has been the escape from laboratories or a doctor's office of stray X-rays. There have been cases where persons in adjoining rooms have suffered injuries from such escaping rays. By an investigation of Maximilian Toch, a New York chemist, this danger apparently has been overcome. In the past metallic lead sheathing has been used in rooms in which X-rays were used, in order to confine the rays, but this method was costly and the heavy metal required special strengthening of the building walls. By the new method the plaster or paint on the walls is treated with a barium compound, this chemical being impervious to X-rays, and therefore a guard against such danger.

COLLIER & SON COMPANY NEW YORK THE QUESTION MANUAL A Classified List of Interesting Questions for HOME STUDY Answers to which will be found on pages indicated in COLLIER'S NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA A SELF-REVISING REFERENCE WORK WITH LOOSE-LEAF FEATURES P. F. COLLIER & SON COMPANY NEW YORK Copyright 1922 By P. F. COLLIER & SON COMPANY MANUFACTURED IN U. S. A.

THE HOW AND WHY OF THIS A MANUAL SHORT time ago a famous scientist and inventor created a small sensation by reason of a list of questions which he had prepared. It was an innocent-looking list-at first glance-and whenever he had an applicant for a position in his shops, he casually laid this list down for the applicant to answer. So many fell by the wayside that presently the list got into the newspapers, and then there was more trouble. How innocent is the question mark, and yet how it challenges one's pride! We hate to admit how many things we don't know. And yet the human brain is so constituted that it cannot absorb everything. It must pick and choose. Our whole life is a process of selection. But while we may not know everything, we ought to know where to find knowledge. This, after all, is the secret of education-that which the modern college is striving to accomplish. It is a broadening and training of the mental powers, so that when confronted by a perplexing question, we may know instantly where to find the answer.

Probably no better question-answerer exists to-day than Collier's New Encyclopedia, which is built for just such daily needs of the busy man and woman. Completely made since the World War, it answers a thousand and one questions of the moment, on which older reference works are necessarily silent. It is compact, yet comprehensive, covering in ten volumes the history and progress of the whole world.

Merely to state this fact does not convey to one's mind the immensity and richness of such a treasury. And so to visualize it for the reader more graphically, the editors have prepared this question manual, taking one by one certain leading subjects, and asking the reader a few random questions under each head. If the average reader can answer two out of ten of these questions offhand, he is well-read indeed.

But to show that Collier's New Encyclopedia is a question-answerer, we give not only the questions but also the page references to which they refer. And we can suggest no better reading course and memory test than to take up some subject of interest, and try first to answer the questions without looking up the answers; then to read the references through carefully, close the book and try again to answer from memory. Of course there are many other references which will turn up in the course of the reading, and thus gradually the reader obtains a complete mastery of the subject. We cannot hope to know the fortieth part of the information contained in a great library such as, for example, the New York State Library, with its 600,000 volumes. No man in his lifetime could read more than 25,000 volumes, even if he read a different book every day.

To meet the limitations of our mental capacity, therefore, Collier's New Encyclopedia was prepared. In these ten volumes the knowledge contained in 600,000 volumes-or more-is reduced to the limits of human possibility to acquire. And in addition to this older fund of knowledge, it brings our range of facts right up through the world upheaval to the present day. The director of the New York State Library, Melvil Dewey, himself says: "It is a fact that a father for a few dollars can buy his son or daughter an encyclopedia containing more learning than can be acquired in a dozen college courses."
