SnaiIs In Aquariums.

A large glass tank is not necessary
for a house aquarium, says Boys Life.
Small, inexpensive glass boxes that
make desirable indoor aquaria, as we'll
as glass tubs and Jars, may be OBJ
tanned from dealers.
Do not buy a glass globe for an
aquarium. These give distorted view
of the contents and are evidently I'M
comfortable for their animal inmates.
Goldfish are pretty and interesting,
but they are common in such globes
and not enough can be learned from
them by the average student of ma
ture. Fit up the aquarium as If you
intended it for goldfish, then get some
thing else.
You can catch many things. but do
not put too many into one aquarium.
One of the most interesting aquatic
animals Is the common water snail.
These are ordinarii. kept in gold
fish auuaria as scavengers, TO clean
up the debris and take off the green
material that grows on the sides of
the glass. Most people think of snails
as aids in keeping the aquarium clean,
but they are in themselves. real objects
of interest.

Hopeful Reports From Germany.

Copenhagen, Nov. l6.-Reports from
Germany are of Il more hopeful tone.
A good impression has been made
by the Socialist governments pro-
nouncement concerning the constitu-
ent assembly. The VOrwaerts de-
clares the pronouncement makes the
constituent assembly a certainty"
The Berlin correspondent of the
Hamburg Fromdenblatt Is encouraged
by the events of the last few days.
He reports that large epart Of the
members of the soldiers councils have
removed the red bands from their
sleeves.
The new soldiers council in Brus-
sells, the Nieuwe COurant Of Rotter-
dam says, has published a number Of
proclamations arranging for the ar
derby withdrawal of German troops,
appealing to the soldiers not to Ill
treat their officers and sending "a
brotherly greeting" to the Belgian
population.
The new government has issued an
appeal to the present population ask
ing for the formation Of peasants
councils for the purpose Of organizing
food supply. The appeal says that
such voluntary self-administration Is
better than bureaucratic organization
and will avert recourse to compulsory
measures.

President Wilson Pays Tribute to
BeIaium's SeIf-Saerifice.
Washington, Nov. 16.-President
wilson sent by cable a message to
King Albert of the Belgians, felici-
tating him upon his birthday and
paying tribute to Belgium'S self-sacri-
flee.
The message follows:
His majesty the King Of the Bel
gians, BRUSHES:
"Never has a national holiday oc.
Cured at more suspicious moment,
and never have Fluctuations been
more heartfelt than those which it is
my high privilege to tender to your
majesty on this day

Belgium by her self-sacrifice won for
herself place Of honor among ma.
tons, a crown of glory, imperishable,
though all else were lost.

victory come, and with it the promise
of a new life, fuller, greater, nobler

Ancient Czecho-SIovaks.

The Czechs are an ancient race.
They were flourishing in Bohemia
away back in the fifth century before
Christ, and they have always been
noted for their progressive spirit, for
their longings in the direction of lib
eralism and democracy, and above all
for their Industrial and commercial
enterprise, thanks to which they have
been for the past 400 years the eco
nomic backbone of the Hapsburg mon
archy.
They were Independent, and there
fore unfettered, until they fOolishly
elected Emperor Ferdinand of Aus
tria as their ruler in 1920, not only
because he was married to The daugh-
ter and heiress of st. Wnnceslaus, but
also because he solemnly pledged him
self to respect their national rights and
liberties. Needless to add that Ferdi
nand 1 failed to keep his promises.
This IS a popularity of the house of
Hapsburg, which is at last to bring
ruin upon their empire.

PEACE CONGRESS DEC. IS
This is Considered Probable Date.
Versailles the Place.

Paris, Nov. 16.-That the final peace
conference will be held in Versailles
Is almost certain.
1t will begin on December 10.
paris advices Thursday indicated
the conference would not open until
after the British elections, which take
place Saturday, December 14)
Versailles, although not formally
chosen as the meeting place for the
peace negotiations, is regarded as al
most certain to be the place selected
for the peace conference when the in
ter-allied council reasSembleS.
The real work of the negotiations
will be carried on in Paris, where it
Is probable the delegations from all
the countries will reside temporarily,
the members going out to Versailles
now and then for plenary sessions of
the conference.
There also is little doubt that the
supreme act of signing the peace
agreement will take place at Versail-

but very misery in their expenditure,

and as the heat ascends, I came up

a terrible sufferer from rheumatism.

"My opera glasses!"

WILSON SELECTS
PEACE ENJOYS
Lansing, House, Root, Brandeis
May Be Choice.
AWAIT ACTION OF ALLIES
Mr.. Wilson Expected to Attend YER
sailIes Congress, But Not to Sit at
Conference Table

Washington, Nov. 16.-American
delegates to the great peace confer
ence are understood 10 have been Sc
lected by President Wilson.
There probably will be no announce
ment until the place and date of the
meeting has been decided upon for
mally by the inter-allied council which
re-assembled in France.
Discussion in well-nformed quar-
tiers of the probable personnel of the
delegation conferred upon four men.
They are:
Robert Lansing, secretary of state,
to head the mission; Colonel f. NJ.
House, now in France attending the
representative of the president; Eli
hu Root, Louis D. BrandieS, associate
justice of the supreme court.
The belief is growing that Presi-
dent Wilson will attend the opening
sessions of the conference, though not
to sit as delegate around the peace
table.
Word from Paris that historic YER
sailles is regarded as certain to be
the scene Of the conference occasion
ed no surprise. 1t is said spokesman
of the allied powers have been almost
q unit on this choice, though Brussels
has been urged by the Belgians and
other places have ebeen mentioned.
From the Germans there may be re-
quests for meeting on neutral soil,
bat it is pointed out that the victors
always have made peace where they
pleased.
The ntimation that President VIII
son has chosen four men to represent
the United States gives the first sug-
gestion Of the probable size Of the con-
ference The number of Spokesman
to which each state is entitled in such
a gathering usually is fixed in the
protocols which provide for the con-
ference, the rule being to limit the
number to half dozen if possible in
order to make sure that they can
be easily assembled in q hall of or
binary size to facilitate the transac-
tiOn of business. AS the various
states vote as units, the number of
representatives they have present ac-
tually Is of no particular importance,
provided there are enough to fill plac-
es on any committees that may be ap-
pointed.
In the Spanish-American-Pa con-
ference twenty years ago by the
terms Of the protocol, Spain and the
United States each was represented,
by five commissioners. For America,
there were William R. Day, secretary
of state; Senators Cushman X. Davis,
Of Minnesota, and William P. Frye, of
Maine; Judge Gray, Of the United
States circuit court, and Whitelaw
Reid, afterward American ambassador
TO London. John Bassett Moore, then
assistant secretary of state was sec.
rotary for the American mission.
The selection Of commissioners usu-
ally is made with special reference to
the nature Of the work to be done;
The construction of a general peace
treaty calls for varying talent, and,
as attaches Of the delegation there
must be experts in many lines, includ-
liz high army and navy officers

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. II too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches

will find that he is light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however. you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need Of

tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform it's func-

Value of Silence.

You, who have learned the value of
speech, and prize it as one of life's
dearest treasures, do you know also
the value of silence? Only he who
does can really know the value of
speech 1t is in the silences that we
often learn the most. 1t is only through
the attentive silence of a good listener
that we can really get the best our
friends minds have to give us. 1t is
only through the silence of sympathy
that we can get closest to their hearts.
Without the silence Of thought, we can
Nver have anything to say really
worth the effect of speech.-Girrs Com

Originally the Finlanders were fire.
Worshipers, and to this fact, doubtless,
may be traced the custom, never neg
lected at midsummer and other sea-
sons, of lighting on the hills bonfires,
around which the country folk dance,
while they join their voices in musical
chorus. At the coast this traditional
fire Is often lit upon a raft some short
distance from the shore, and there the
festive throng row in a circle, singing
almost as long as the flames continue
to illuminate the somewhat weird
scene.

Goes to Fix Occupation Details.

Washington, Nov. 16.-News that
an American military mission, headed
by Major Charles d. Rhodes, COM
mander of the forty-Second Rainbow
division at last reports, will visit Ger
man great headquarters at Spa, Bel
GUM, aroused much speculation here
So far as could be learned, no Off
cial information as TO the object of
the trip had reached Washington.
The purely military character Of
the mission was regarded as an indi.
cation that General Rhodes trip was
for the purpose of arranging with the
German high command for the occu-
patton of various fortresses in Alsace-
Lorraine which lie in front of the
American line These include the
Metz-Thionville positions, and Strass-
burg on the Rhine. Previous reports
show that definite dates have been
fixed by Marshal Foch for his entry
into these German StronghOldS, and
his directions to the Germans as to
the time and method of their retire
ment may be carried out by the Amer
lean officers
1t is possible that immediate steps
to relieve the food situation in Ger
many TO some extent with the surplus
stores Of the American army in
France may be under consideration
General Pershing has available at
least three months stock for his fore

ed. Secretary Baker indicated that
1t might be possible to use some part
Of this reserve to meet urgent needs
in army territory, although he did not
say any definite plan had been franz
ed
Congratulations and expressions Of
