"American women are knock-need and flat-chested and these anatomical defects are getting worse each year. The anatomical measurements of 800 university women proved this statement.

N. S. Staff Correspondent) MANILA, July 18.—The sub-secretaries of the various cabinet officers who resigned in a body as protest against what they alleged was undue interference on the part of Governor General Wood with the conduct of their offices, met today and agreed to serve. It was feared, however, that Manuel Quezon, president of the senate and leader of the dissatisfaction against Governor Wood, will bring pressure to bear on the sub-secretaries with a view of having all Filipino government employees resign in accordance with his policy of non-cooperation.

The nature papers are calm in their comment and caution the people against demonstrations. The Philippine Independence Commission was expected to meet late today for the purpose of drawing up resolutions at President Harding on the situation. Members of the Democratic party it was learned, are unwilling to assume the vacated cabinet posts because their party is lacking of a majority in the legislature and should the sub-secretaries be forced to resign by political pressure it will make difficult the formation of a competent cabinet.

MUST RETUNE MOTOR 'UP AGAINST IT' IN SHIP RUM PROBLEM Maratime Powers Frown on Stretching Three-Mile Limit (By George E. Durno) WASHINGTON, July 18.—Administration officials admitted today they have virtually given up all hope of solving the ship liquor and rum running problems by means of extension of the American right of search and seizure out to twelve miles at sea. More than three weeks have passed since the proposal originally was made to the allied capitals by Secretary of State Hughes but as yet no replies have been received. Led by Great Britain, the great maritime powers are said to be "manifest unfavorable" to any extension of the three mile limit, regardless of the reasons therefore. Cognizant of this attitude, officials concede that with congress alone rests the solution of the problem. In this connection, however, some considerable opposition was voiced to the plan of Senator Sterling, Republican, of South Dakota, to introduce at the next session a measure extending the territorial jurisdiction of the United States to all waters within 12 miles of the American shore.

H. Atkins) WASHINGTON, July 18.—New revenue legislation, with an inevitable scaling down of the tax burden for those of moderate incomes, is the program being outlined today by the progressive group in congress. The fight for tax revision along more liberal lines to satisfy those who are convinced that the tax yoke they carry is an unequal one, has now been given impetus by the election of Magnus Johnson, as senator from Minnesota to succeed Knute Nelson. No other event in recent months has had such vital bearing on the entire revenue question. The progressives in the senate lined up with most of the Democrats known to favor tax reduction, have greater voting power than the Republicans in a straight context for tax reduction. The voice of the farmer and the small salaried man will be vitally reflected by this combination. SEEK CACHE OF CANADIAN LIQUOR (By International News Service) SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.—Federal enforcement agents today were endeavoring to trace the hiding place of 24,000 cases of Canadian liquor reported handed this week from the motorship Malahat.
