coined by Italy and Turkey.
0VERTURES ALL INFORMAL
Traditional Policy of Non Inter
vention in European Politics
Will Be Followed.

Washington, Sept. 13.-While there is
a disposition to assist in every proper
way the restoration OF peace between
Italy and Turkey. officials of the State
Department were obliged to-day to
confess that so far the United States
has made no move whatever In that
direction.
If any Americans, officials or individ-
uals, have used their good Offices to
bring italy and Turkey into a POSI-
ton where they might at least be in
duced to listen to overtures FOR peace,
that has been done informally on
cially the state Department knows
nothing whatever Of such move.
The officials declare that no matter
how strongly disposed the United
States government might be toward
securing the establishment of peace
in the Mediterranean, no considerations
have yet presented themselves Of SUI
ncieut weight to Justify a departure
from the traditional American policy
Of non-intorvcntion in the political
quarrels of Europe.
Chasso Switzerland. Sept. bah the
greater European powers have exercised
their good offices in trying to arrange an
understanding between Italy and Turkey
Both belligerentS. it Is understood. how
ever. have declared that they would vel
come the good offices OF the United States
rather than those OF any other nation.
America being the only country which
is entirely disinterested. Indeed. perhaps
the most important service already done
TO Italy and Turkey has been THROUGH
the unofficial initiative of Thomas j..
O'Brien and William W. Rockhill, the
American ambassadors, respectively, at
Rome and AT COnstantiuople.
1t is easily understood how mediation
coming from 50 friendly and so unselisn
n source. undertaken at the last moment
and in the right way. might be most vel
come. Foreign observers OF Turho-itdl-
ian relations believe that such action
would simplify the situation and pave
the wa To- more direct negotiations. This
may partly account for the high place
occupied 10y Ambassador O'Bren IN ON
cial Italian circles and for the special
favor in Which he is held by the Italian
Premier Giovanni Giolitu.

New York.-A party of Sons of the
Revolution returning the other night
from their annual Fourth of July
gathering at historic Frances tavern,
were halted a few rods from the old
tavern by series of street excava'
tions.
Casually examining the heaped-up
earth one of the party noticed that
the material thrown up by the diggers
was studded with reminders Of old
New York. Chief among the objects
thrown out were many fragments of
the old spruce water pipes that once
carried the drinking water for the
city.
Near by were hundreds Of old pipes
of another kind, long church ward

and probably reminders Of many q

Hundreds of oyster shells of big
ness unknown today, were also found,
and a considerable number of bones,
some of them having the appearance
of human relics.

The Mi6dIe-Aoed Woman.

OF the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
of her afternoon gowns none Is SIM
pier than the use of collar and cuffs
of white wolfe edged with scalloping
and embroidery in floral design. An
other change may be the frock set of
white chiffon with border of black
malines. and still another Is the one
of black net hemstitched with silver
thread. Some of these collars are so
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross in
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort Is of light blue lawn en-
broidered with black dots, and a Sec
ond is Of white agaric trimmed with
tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating
with eponge.

When they reached the beach she
stuck 1t upright in the sand, and It
was found there. with her hat and her

his own pockets heavier, and then tied
one corner of q large handkerchief to
her wrist. She tied the opposite cor
ner to his wrist. And they walked
down into the water.

the couple had not hesitated when

Child Taken to Hospital to Pre-

Boy Pulls q Kettle Over His Ears In
Play and Efforts Of Ten Physl-

New York.-It took physicians and
nurses In Bellevue hospital more than
half an hour to remove an iron pot
from the head of Peter Szusca. two
years old. Young Peter was pretend
ing that the pot was hat. when sud-
denly 1t slid over his ears and nose
until the rim touched his neck Then
Peter began to yell.
His mother, Mrs. Jennie Szusca.
heard the cries reverberating In the
pot and ran into the room In which
Peter had been playing. She could
not see the lads tears, for the pot
covered his face. and SO Mrs. Szusca
thought at first he was laughing. She
said 1t was hard to tell whether per-
son with a pot over his head was
laughing or crying on account of the
weird noise that echoes from the pot.
So the mother laughed too.
When she thought Peter was becom-
ing too hilarious she attempted to
move the pot. and it wouldn't come
on, and Peter yelled something that
sounded. in infantile idiom, like sit
hurts" The more Mrs. Szusca pull
ed at the pot the tighter the iron mask
seemed to hold. Then she summoned
George Deyer, neighbor. Deyer's at
tempts were futile, and he suggested
that plumber should be summoned.
Meantime Peters walls began to
sound like stage thunder, and Mrs.
Szusca became frightened Some one
was said to have sagely suggested that
Peter should be taken to cold stor.
age plant, turned INSIDE down and wa.
ter poured into the pot; the water
would freeze, and the pot would be
broken by the bullying ice. But Mrs
Szusca said that the hospital was
the place for Peter. She wrapped the
pot up In a shawl. and took it, with
Peter still attached, to Bellevue. In
the hospital DR.. Savok took mother
and child to a ward and tried to pull
the pot on. The pot wouldn't bulge
Several nurses came in to assist, but
the pot was tenacious.

and soft soap was poured into the pot.
The pot remained obdurate for half an
hour. but finally the soap had the
proper effect and Peter was released
from his iron prison.
Peter was none the worse for his ex-
perience, and soon went to sleep In his
mothers arms.
