WILL, RE GIVEN A REST

Washington, Jan. 21.-The prediction
is freely made by the house committee
on foreign affairs that if the proposed re-
affirmation of the Monroe doctrine is
adopted by the senate and sent over to
the house for action it will be allowed to
rest quietly in the committee files. A
canvass of more than a majority of both
Republican and Democratic members of
the committee failed to discover any
member who endorsed it.
Courtesy to their colleagues of the SEN
ate impels the members of the committee
in the other house to refrain from put
ting themselves on record in interviews
as opposed to the resolution, but in con-
,.versation they do not hesitate to criti-
else the verbiage of it and to deprecate
the policy which brings it forward at
this particular time.

The Romance Began at a Tiger Hunt


Several years ago in British India
two young people met at tiger hunt
Theirs was case oflove at first sight.
The tiger hunt thereafter was but an
incident to them, the meeting was
everything. They became engaged.
Then the young lady was obliged to
return to her home in Austria, and
then the young man remained to plod
on in the routine of his official work
and to write letters to Austria.
After time he resigned from Off.
cialdom and iourneyed across the sea
and to the State of Washington and
bought little estate of 1000 acres
down on the Columbia River. There
was more letter writing to Austria
and preparations for an event.

gel, of Austria, arrived in Tacoma
straight from her home and registered

tain Theodore Storm of Tower, Cow

hero and heroine OF this little romance

The wedding took place at 3 p. m. in
the parlor Of the hotel, and Mr..

TURQUOISE EMBROIDERY.

The return to favor in jewelry OF
turquoises gives an impetus to the new
turquoise" embroidery. Some new
designs show the familiar sequins and
paillettes replaced by wonderfully
good limitations Of the pretty blue
stones in form to use to good pur-
pose. Waistcoats, collars, plastrons
picked out with turquoise embroidery
will be handsome reliefs to simple
toilet, and are likely to become popu-
lar.
A pretty and novel use for the tur-
quoise is suggested in the embroidery
of covers for buttons. A large wooden
mold is easily procured, which COW
cred with scrap of velvet. satin, or
silk, and worked with the stones and
gold thread, evolves an effective and
fashionable bodice decoration, while
affording an hour or two Of pleasant

Many Emigrants Land Owners.

1t is curious fact, observes the
Chicago News, that the proportion OF
native Americans who own the farms
they occupy is exceeded by emigrants
from all the countries mentioned ex-
cept Italy, the percentage for native
owners being SO. 35 and for the Ital.
inns 67.57. The Irish are credited
with the highe percentage of ow ners
among the farming population. Nearly
eighty-seven out of each 100 Irish
own the farms they cultivate, but
of the owners of homes the Germans
and the Scandinavians only exceed the
native Americans. Another inter-
esting fact is that ownership is more
general among women than among
men. OF course not nearly as many
farms and homes stand in the names
OF women as OF men, the ownership
being divided between the two sexes
in the proportion of 80. rs per cent to
the men and 1925 per cent to the
women. OF the farms 90.6 per cent
are owned by men and 9.94 per cent
by women. OF the homes "a. 80 per
cent are owned by men and 25.1 per
cent by women; that is to say, of the
1922, ,073 homes in the United States
slightly more than one-quarter are
owned by women, and of the 4,7G7,-
179 farms about one-tenth are owned
by women. This large proportion is
undoubtedly due to the common prac-
tice of making real estate investments
ia the name of the wife or mother of
the family-or at least giving her o
title to her home.

Fashion is changing from some of
her extreme moods just now, but is

Tallest Spar in the Old World.

The great flagstaff in the Arbore.
tum at Kew, London, is one OF the
most conspicuous landmarks OF the
neighborhood. 1t is the second of
two spars which we're presented to the
Royal Gardens by Edward Stamp. of
the firm OF Messrs. Anderson, Ander-
son & Co. The first was from British
Columb bia, and was 118 feet in length.
It was broken in the course OF er &C.
ton in 1859. The existing spar came
from Vancouver Island, and is 159
feet In length. 1t was erected In 1861.
and is believed to be the tallest spar
in the old world. The age Of the
tree from which it was cut was about
250 years, and it's total height 180
feet. The base had gradually become
decayed, and on examination it was
pronounced by the Admiralty to be
unsafe. Messrs. Robinson & Dodd,
contractors to her Maiesty's Indian
government, of Bridge Road Works,
Poplar, successfully lowered it, re-
moved the decayed base, and spliced
on new one of pitch pine. The
splice is held together by five iron
bands. The spar was then reerected.
