A convention has been signed be-
tween Norway and Sweden, says a
Norwegian correspondent, concerning
the much talked of frontier question.
THE origin of the dispute was the
wanderings of the reindeer each sum-
mer from Swedish Lapland to North
ern Norway and the essential point
at issue was to what extent it was
necessary to allow this immigration
into Norwegian territory in order to
keep Swedish reindeer herds alive,
the immigration being regarded by
the Norwegian authorities as a nui-
sance. The Karlstad convention of
1905 took up the question, which had
remained unsettled for centuries, it
seems, and since that year the au-
continually occupied with the matter
The governments eventually agreed
to have the question partly solved by
the international arbitration court,
established in 1909. Special commit
tees studied all sides of the question
and amassed an immense amount of
material, but it seemed that the pro-
ceedings before the court would never
be concluded, and in September OF
last year the Swedish and Norwegian
foreign ministers met at Gothenburg
to discuss the possibility of arriving
at friendly agreement without fur
Their recourse to arbitration AS re-
suit of these "pourparlers" direct ne
gotiations were started between the
two governments with the provisO
that recourse should be had to arbi-
tration if the negotiations failed.
The convention just signed makes it
likely that satisfactory treaty will
be arranged and further arbitrations
avoided. The press of all parties in
both countries expresses satisfaction
and hopes that the new step may
lead to friendly cooperation between
Swedes and Norwegians in other
spheres of mutual interest.

Queen Alexandria of Denmark and
her sister, Empress Marie, have been
added to the ranks of the Interna-
tional Sunshine society and they have
adopted beautiful plan for raising
money for the blind babies of Den
mark. Aided by the Danish postmas-
ter general they have had made in
the royal mint a copper COMA lucky
penny-which will be sold to every
new born child which has the gift of
sight. The parents are to pay what
ever sums they may see fit for the
lucky coin, which is only worth a
halfpenny. On one side it has the
head of Queen Alexandria. The
other side is decorated with a sheaf
of wheat and the coreopsis, the in
ternational sunshine flower, and bears
the word luck" above which is a
large star, signifying "a child born"
In purchasing the coin the child see
ing the light for the first time pre-
sents tribute to the child who will
never see, the money paid for the
lucky penny going to the support of
the blind children. Queen Alexan-
drina sent one of the very finest
coins from the mint to Mrs Cynthia
Westover Alden, the president general
of the international Sunshine society,"
the woman who has brought to the
attention of the world that the blind
babies we're being neglected. The
queen also sent her photograph.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
president of the United States, has
been asked to consider a like plan
for the blind babies of the United
States.

owing to women that the city has it's

week. The carriers have had no asSiS
tancc. and as no overtime was allowed
by the government for the Brownsville
office there was no means by which the
local postal officials could handle the
matter more quickly than has been done
The Brownsville office. according to
the officials, has done a remarkable bus
mess during the month. and ii is believ-
ed that the end Of the month will show
the largest receipts for the local office
that have vet been had. The parcel post
had much to do with this. for where
last Christmas the larger parcels were
carried by the express companies this
year they are being handled by the post
office department.
The incoming parcel business ut the
Brownsville office has also been great
and the carriers were forced every day
to make rtturn trips to the pOstOtfice.
Sometimes the packages were 50 large
that they could carry only Il few with
them. make the deliveries and return to
the DOStOffice for more.
The fact that much Christmas mail
continues to arrive will perhaps put
hopes in the breasts of many who felt
they were being overlooked by their
friends at home. The floods in Central
and South Texas and in the states Of
Missouri and Kansas tied up traffic to
a great extent. and caused Christmas
to arrive days after Christmas. So. if
you have not received your Christmas
gift from home. there is still a chance
that YOU have not been forgotten.

HANDKERCHIEFS MAKE
DAINTIEST SACHETS

You can make the daintiest sort OF
little sachets of linen handkerchief. The
triangular sachet is pretty. One ordinary
linen handkerchief will make four pretty
three-cornered sachets. A handkerchief
with a scalloped or hemstitched and en-
broidered edge is prettiest. First cut the
handkerchief into four equal squares, two
sides of each square being plain and two
sides finished with the handkerchief bor-
der.
Then cut pieces of silk the same size as
the linen squares. Make three-cornered
little bags of the silk squares. fill with
absorbent cotton sprnkled with your
favorite sachee and overcast the edges of
the silk together. Then lay the little silk
sachet on square of the linen and fold
over the unfinished or cut edges of the
linen to cover the raw edges. In tiny
stitches. then. catch the two sides of the
linen square together to form a triangular
covering for the silk sachet, and the soft
color of the silk will show through the
linen. The result will be a very dainty
sachet. easily made, daintily finished and
at small cost.
