II is thought, however. that the radl-
cal left may bring forward new eahdl-
date. or revive the candidacy OF Antonlh
DuBost, president of the Senate, or ex-
Premier Felix Ribot, If NJ. Pans does not
win on the first ballot, for which the So

II is explained that the uncertain situa-
ton is due to the fact that a large mum
ber of NJ. Poincare's supporters would on
no account vote for NJ. Pans If the
Premier withdrew, while none OF the ex-
ponents of proportional representation
who support the candidacy of NJ. PANS
would vote for Premier Poincare, il the
minister of agriculture returned.
New Compromise Expected
Apart from this there are more Than
100 right and conservative republicans
who were not present at the caucus, most
of whom, it is believed, will vote foi

Washington, January 1.-two widely
different plans for banking and currency
legislation were recommended to the
House currency reform committee by
prominent bankers. George M. Reynolds
president of the Chicago Continental and
Commercial National bank, and MEM
ber OF the national monetary commits
sion, insisted that some central power
similar to the Central Reserve assoca-
ton proposed in the monetary commits
sion's plan. was essential to any sound
banking system.
W. A. Nash, chairman of the board
of directors of the New York Corn Ex-
change bank, and a former president of
tion, declared that a central power vas
unnecessary and proposed an association
of 20 geographically located clearing
houses with power to issue loan certih
ment currency.
Both bankers told the committee that
it was not necessary for America TO
copy foreign banking methods. When
Chairman Glass asked for an opinion
on regional reserve banks or associa :
tions. with supervising treasury board.
Mr. Reynolds said he thought such a
plan would work II the supervising board
had sufficient power and absolute control
over the issue of notes.

Have you observed the way DEM

calling out of the militia, apologize
for the act and say will be no Pea

apologies. The governor delayed the
order too long, resulting in reign
of terror and loss of life. The miners
have perfect right to organize and
quit work if they desire and use all
honorable means to persuade men
from going to work, but they have
no right to destroy property and at

ADVICE TO FATHERS.

Fathers, are we chums to our
boys? Do we confide in them, make
friends of them, talk with them, read
to them, understand them? At the
meal table do we converse freely with
them and so open up their minds and
provide them with food for thought
as well as for the body?"
These questions are asked by a
very serious correspondent of an cas-
tern newspaper who wants to elevate
the race, who is engrossed with the
thought that upon us rests the re-
sponsibility of producing race able
to stand the struggles of life, ready
to answer the call of duty and be
worthy citizens of this our commun-
ity."
Possibly there are fathers whose
free conversation would not be vastly
the talk of the correspondent him
self might be the heaviest course at
the table. In the one case youth
would have but doubtful life to-
ward the duties of citizenship and in
the other those duties would be made
to appear painfully onerous, How
ever, suppose that we do not look far
beyond the individual to the recon-
struction of our country and the up
IA nf ,,fi
pose, also, that the father is neither
overfreighted with philosophy nor re-
duced to the state of the monologue
artist in the vaudeville show.
Having made the premises secure,
it is comparatively easy to go on to
the height of the great argument, es-
pecially when there is a story right
at hand that fits in perfectly. The
father was an excellent man, and
among men he was a companionable
man. Though there was often a touch
of cynicism in what he said he was
kind Of heart and he had very keen
enjoyment in the society of his
friends. But somewhere from out a
puritanical past there had come to
him belief that boys belonged by ma
ture to the evil one and that they
were born for discipline. A boy was
not only soul, but the chances were
that he was a lost soul. And to save
him seventies were absolutely neces-
sary. There was danger always that
smile ippinging on him at the
wrong moment might send him
straight to the devil.

BOOMERANG ADVERTISER ENT

An argument in favor of patron
izing home industry is to be found
in one of the farm journalism ad-
vertisement of one of the largest
mail order houses in Chicago. The
advertisement is embellished with a
picture of the plant of the big mail
order concern, and the caption is,
1.-The House That You Built" Here,
in five words, is the best possible
demonstration of the evil of BUYERS
from mail-order houses, from the
standpoint of the. farmer or anyone
else who is interested in building up
his own community.
The home merchant can back up his
own arguments on this score by
pointing out that the resident of his
town or county who sends money
away from home is consciously en-
abling big buildings and expensive
plants to be maintained hundreds of
miles away. There is no getting
away from 1t; the mall-order house
says so itself.
This step by this mail order house
seems to be far in advance of any,
thing ever done in an advertising
way by such concerns. The adver-
tisement is well equipped with
"backfire." 1t goes to farmers and
as they gaze upon it and realize that

up this monster structure, when they

duly influenced to send a great many

TRAINING For MARRIAGE.

In the November Woman's Home
Companion woman contributor tells
how, with the assistance of her serv-
ant Maggie, she trained her daughter
Helen for marriage to Robert. Fol
lowing is an extract:
"For time her most serious troub-
lie seemed Co lie in buying meats.
Our bill increased alarmingly. One
morning ! heard Maggie remark:
"'WeIl, Miss Helen, if you say to
the butcher II don't know thing
about meat. Send nice steak for
six" he will cheat you. And it ain
any use for you to poke your fingers
into piece of meat and look wise.
He'll see through you. You got to
know meat
'This appealed to me as sound rea-
soning. Every morning during the
next fortnight | went with Helen to
get the meat Send nice steak for
six, he to explain cuts to US if we
come in early. Thanks to this plan.
Helen now knows how to buy meat.
Before she learned values in house
hold linen, we added to our supply
some most undesirable bargains She
will never waste Roberts money on
the same sleazy, mercerized towels or
sheeting.
"And directly she could spare time
from her practical course of train
ing as purchasing and disbursing
agent, Maggie, the faithful, began to
instruct her in plain cooking.
"All this has not been easy for
Helen nor her mother But it will
make things much easier for Helen
and her husband. Doubtless she will
make mistakes. The best and most
experienced of us older women do
that. But she will know how to
cover those mistakes with brave
smile. Her husband will never gaze
at her in helplessness dismay while
she implores him to take her home
to mother until new servant is
installed in her kitchen. Above all
things she will know the purchasing
value of her husbands salary, be-
cause she has learned it, as she should
at her mothers expense.
Last night, when she turned over
the bank and account books, she said
to Robert:
"'You'll never know, dear, what
Mumsey has saved you. No, not just
in money, but in temper and tears. ]

lars that yours might be dry

nothing. Why should tell Robert
the truth THAT l had been trying to
make good as a mother-in-law for
him in order that my precious daugh-
ter might be happy with him."

ITALIAN GOVERNMENT WILL
BUILD CATHEDRAL IN TRIPOLI

ROME, Nov. 6.-Despite the ever
strained relations between the Ital-
ian government and the vatican. the
former today officially sanctioned a
generous contribution for the erect
ion of a magnificent cathedral at
Tripoli. The state, it is understood
is convinced that the winning over
to the Catholic church of the Moham-
edan population will greatly streng-
then its position there politically At
ter the Italian government, Cordinal
O'Connell, of Boston, is understood
to have been the next heaviest con-
tributor to the cathedral building

the Boston cardinals contribution
was made up of small subscriptions
from the poorer members of his card

with thin pieces of fat. Another good
piece of meat for roast beef is the
top sirloin, which is not so cheap but
is recommended because it has not
waste.
THE next important item on the
meat bill is chops, either lamb, pork
or veal chops. Lamb chops, however,
are the kind mostly demanded, and
of course the demand is for loin and
rib chops, the most expensive. There
is the same solution as with steaks
buy shoulder chops, they cost less
and are sweeter. This same principle
again applies to pork chops. The
shoulder chops are very sweet and
tender, and the butcher will sell them
for less; but very few people know
about them"
