toria and hospitals for the treatment

lated. posters. circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions Of
pieces. thousands OF lectures have
been given. large sums OF money have
been secured. hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work

Why He Was Sorry.

To impress on young children Just
what should and what should not be
done and why. Is among the most try
ing problems Of parents. as evidenced
by the recent experience Of a West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son. aged eight. to
carry a chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started on
willingly. but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy long
and serious talk on the subject Of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression. for when she
concluded the boy adder to her dis
comfiture by exclaiming. Il am sorry

CLASH OVER STANDARD OIL
Austria Drops Negotiations with
q. S. About Branch Company.

Vienna, Nov. 29-The controversy be-
tween the Austrian authorities and the
Vacuum Oil Company, a branch of the
Standard Oil Company, has reached a
new and acute stage.
The Austrian Foreign Office has re-
fused to continue negotiations with the
American embassy, which has been pro-
testing against the alleged discrimina-
ton Of the government against this COM
pany. The Foreign Office maintains its
POSITION that the vacuum company is
registered as a Hungarian company and
must therefore. be subject to the same
regulations as other companies with
similar registration. and that the ques-
ton at issue is purely matter for Aus
trian internal administration and abso-
lutely outside of diplomacy.
The American Ambassador. Richard {.
Kerens declines to accept the Foreign
Ofiice's view. but at the present moment
the conflict is at a deadlock. The Minis
try of Finance is now officially inquiring
into the Galician oil situation. hoping to
find a solution for the difficulty.
