Who Owns the Falkland lsIands2

Few people are aware to this day
that the Falkland islands are marked
in all Argentine maps aud Biographies
as "unlawfully retained by Great Brit
ain. The origin of the dispute was
that England after abandoning the
islands in 1774 resumed possession in
1929. The Argentine government pro
tested and. as A. Stuart Pennington
points out III his book on the country
is even today careful to do nothing
which could even apparently recognize
the rights of the present posscssors.' !
1t was for that reason that it declined
a proposal a few years ago to run a
line of Argentine ships to the islands.

WASHING THE DISHES.
Doins This Job Only Once Day, 1t Is
Said, Saves Time.


Said, Saves Time.
'The careful housekeeper viii always
resent the suggestion that once day
is often enough to wash dishes" writes
DR.. Fl. Barnard in Table Talk" in the
National Food Magazine she cannot
train herself TO allow soiled plates and
Gilyerware to stack up from one meal
to the next, for she has been taught
that such actions are evidence Of shift
less, slovenly housekeeping. AS mat
ter Of fact, along with many other no
tions which are fixed in the operation
of the home, both time and energy are
saved by cutting out two of the three
daily dishwashing jobs
Dr. Barnard goes on TO recite the eX-
perience of one housekeeper who actu-
ally dared study the homely work Of
dishwashing. One week she washed
dishes three times a day; the next week
she washed each days dishes alto
gether She used the same number Of
dishes each day in both weeks She
found that it took her fifty-one minutes
a day to wash dishes after each meas
and forty-one minutes a day to wash
them once a day.
This took account only OF time, but
there was a considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead OF thrice a
day, to say nothing Of the saving in
SOAP.

How INDIGO Is Produced.

A primitive but effective method OF
obtaining indigo ia southern India is
practiced by the natives. The plant
is tightly packed the day il is cut In
a large vat into which water is run
and boards are then placed over the
top and are kept IN position 10y heavy
crossbeams. The plant is allowed to
soak for ten or twelve hours. during
which time a heavy fermentation takes
place The liquid IS then drained OF
into another vat, after which coolies
beat and stir the soaked mass thor
oughly with fails until the dye begins
to emerge. The whole is then allowed
to settle. The clear liquid is drained
off, and the residue Is boiled In copper
vessels. 1t is then pressed into hard
cakes ready for the market,

How He Won a Lease of Life For Some
Of Villas Victims.
During one of his earlier campaigns
Francisco Villa had an American
movie photographer, Burrud 10y name
attached to his staff, who spent a
good deal Of his time taking pictures
Of the excessively vain general him
self. Sometimes. however, Burrud was
called upon TO undertake more siren
uous operations. The following story.
for instance. is told in Francis A. Col
Inns The Camera Man:"
"Burrud was called outdoors unex-
pectedly at sunrise one morning and
directed to report with his camera. at
once to headquarters. When he arriv-
ed coatess and breakfastless, before

eral had decided to have some twenty
prisoners shot and wanted a moving
picture taken OF the exc ution The

"Burrud feigned to examine his cam
era closely and then explained TO the
general that his films were lad and
that it would be impossible to take the
picture until new supply had arrived.
Villa was disguised to miss the enter
tainment, but the camera man insisted
that there was no use in making tile
exposure, and the picture and the eX-
ecudon were put off several days.
by the time the next supply Of films
arrived the general had fortunately
changed his mind and the men wee

TERNATlONAL PEACE.
Plans to Secure 1t Have Been Tried
For Three Centuries.


Admirable and farsighted plans for
securing u peaceful international order
have been before the world for 300
years. NJ. Emeric Cruce submitted his
plan, which included liberty of com
merce throughout all the world, as
early as 1923. Following the peace of
Utrecht, the Able de st. Pierre devel-
oped his plan, which included media
ton, arbitration and an interesting ad-
dition to the effect that any sovereign
who took up arms before the union of
nations had declared war or who re-
fused to execute a regulation Of the
union or a judgment of the senate was
to be declared an enemy Of European
society The union was then to make
war upon him until he should be dis
armed or until the regulation or judg
ment should be executed.
Some twenty years earlier William
Penn had produced his quaint and real
ly extraordinary plan for the peace of
Europe in which he, too, proposed to
proceed by military power against any
sovereign who refused to submit hrs
claims to proposed diet, or parlia
ment, Of Europe or who refused to
abide by and to perform any judgment
of such body.
An these plans, like those Of Rous-
seau, Bentham and Kant, which came
later, as well as William Ladd's elab-
crate and carefully considered essay
on a congress Of nations, published Ia
1910, were brought into the world too
soon. They were the fine and noble
dreams Of seers which it is taking civ
ilized men three centuries and more to
begin effectively to realize-New York

WHERE MANKIND WAS REBORN
The Story of FIorenes Epitomizes the
Story of humanity.

The Story of FIorenes Eptomizes the
Story of Humanity.
The story of Florenve is the story of
humanity; the broad. deep, moving
epic of the awakening of man to his
own divine power; the story of won
derful self made men who had but one
idea in common-the thirst for free ac-
tivity of soul.
So the tale of the new birth, the
renaissance, is the record Of individ-
ual spirit so free, so subtle and elastic,
SO profoundly penetrating to the
springs of human purpose, that it has
furnished the motive power Of the
world ever since, ana Florence, as its
source aud focus, because of the con
ditions then obtaining in the city and
throughout Italy, was the one spot in
the world capable of producing such
an epoch making upheaval of human
consciousness.
And all this astonishing genius grew
directly out of-business The city was
peopled by men who manufactured the
necessaries of life, by merchants, spec

participation in the life of the state,
and because they did not work the
mobiles were debarred from this.
1t was the burghers, the people, who
ruled, and even when evil chance laid
the state under the heavy hand of Il
despot he was forced to develop his
own character to the uttermost, be-
cause his rule depended entirely upon
his capacity as man. The aristoc-
racy accordingly was that of intelli-
gence, Of men who became eminent be-
cause, first of all, they were the best
in their own individual work.
Under the practical inspiration Of
these mental giants Florence was re
created aud learned to view life from
within instead Of supericially She
learned that the individual is the soul
of the state and that he state can
succeed onll Waon il is true to the best
interests of its individuals. ~. S. Riggs
