SUGAR SHORTAGE LAID TO
IOHN BARLEYCORN'S DEATH.

Paris, July ia sugar crisis
looms on the economic horizon OF
Europe. especially in France, and
the main cause of it is-John Barley
corn's death. 1t seems that his fu-
neral is being celebrated in America
by veritable revelries in sweets,
notably candy and soft drinks.
Indeed available statistics show
that already the consumption OF
sugar has increased approximately
100000 tons a month since prohibl-
ton made itself felt. The result is
that Herbert c. Hoover has felt him
self constrained to place an embargo
on sugar exports from America.
This is bitter jolt to France,
which faces a sugar famine and is
bitterly complaining at her inability
of getting shipments from America.

Republican Senators Working
on Plans Which They Hope
Will Unite Opposing Forces
on Policy Relative to Treaty.
ADMINISTRATION HEADS
Confident OF VICTORY
Opponents to Pact Believe
Wilson Is Sounding Out En-
tente Relative to Possible
Reservations to Ratification.

Washington, July lo.-Although
administration leaders both in ex-
ecutive and senate circles discount
the possibility of President Wilson
accepting any reservations i'll the
ratification of the peace treaty and
league Of nations, some republican
senators who have told the presi-
dent in their conferences that a
majority will favor interpretative
reservations are discussing what
middle ground may be found on
which the opposing forces may
unite.
Administration senator's continue
firm in their claim that they will
have the votes to pass the treaty
without change, consequently they
do not care to discuss what might
happen if they failed to muster
themselves.
Meanwhile republicans also, who
favor tie league of nations idea
but have told the president reserva.
tions will have to be made, are
working on plans which they fee
will be acceptable.
1t develops that if the president is
making any effort to sound out the
entente powers on possible reserva-
tions, as has been reported, none ol
the usual channels of the entente
embassies in Washington are being
used.
Tentative Reservations.
The discussions among the re.
publicans seem to range around q
tentative set Of reservations which
might he outlined this way:
That nothing in article 10 shall
be construed to obligate the
United States to enter war with
out a declaration of war by con-
gress;
That nothing in the covenant
shall in any way impair the Mon
roe doctrine or curtail the nations
prerogative of administering it as
purely national policy; and,
That it shall be understood that
in accepting the covenant the
United States does not subtract
from its sovereign right to deter
mine purely domestic problems
such as immigration and the tariff.
These and other similar reserva
tons designed to give annual guar
antees of the right of independent
national action without vitiating thu
fabric of the league, might satisfy

republican senators who are favor

Too Many Cases of Sore Eyes
In Babies Says State
Board of Health.

According to an estimate of the State
Board of Health, 200 cases of sore eyes
occur annually among the newborn bab-
les of the State. This condition known
as ophthalmia neonatorum (sore eyes in
the new-born), and develops few days
afer birth. Most cases of this disease
are unnecessary, for 80 out of 100 can be
prevented by proper precautions. Every
baby should have two drops of a per
cent silver nitrate solution put into each
of its eyes within two hours after birth.
The law requires the person attending
the mother to use the drops and the
mother should see that it done. The
drops will not hurt the eyes, and Trey
may save the child from a life utter dark.

THE PET DOGS.

There were five dogs" said Daddy,
who belonged to a boy named Jack"
What were their names?" asked
Nancy.
How could he have ever thought
of so many names?" asked Nick.
They were all named" said Daddy,
"and I will tell you their names in
the order in which their sizes ran.
"Brutus was the largest of all. He
was a big Newfoundland dog. Next
came Bogi, another Newfoundland dog,
but not so large as Brutus.
Third came Patty, an Irish terrier.
Then came Ouji, a cocker spaniel, and
last came SuSy, a little hunting dog.
When they all stood together they
looked like a flight of stairs, and just
as though one could walk from Susy
right up to Brutus.
"Ah,' said Patty, 4 see something
coming my way
"All the other dogs looked and
Patty said, There is a bug and I'm
going to catch it. I'm going to snap
it up and swallow it down and enjoy

"But the bug said to itself, T'H play
joke on that dog And the bug did
play a joke, very mean joke.
Patty snapped at the bug and then
was about to swallow it when she
had gotten the bug on her tongue,
when what should that mean bug do

0VERBLOUsE OF THE FRENCH
Garments Have Apron Fronts and
Coquettish Little Sashes of
the Material.

French women are wearing the over
blouse in each of its many versions.
There are some that end at the waist
line in the back and are finished to go
over the skirt with an inch-wide rib
bon of unusual weave and usually in
contrasting color. After finishing the
back of the blouse these colorful rib
bons slip through loops made by but
tonhole stitching to tie over the apron
front. The fronts of many of these
shOrt-back blouses take their inspira-
ton from the waistcoat of the past
winter.
Organdie overblouses are very
smart. They have apron fronts and
coquettish little sashes of the material
edged with real lace. These new or
candle blouses could be combined with
separate skirts of organdie to make an
attractive summer frock
The late imports of blouse almost
invariably feature the short sleeve
usually cut on kimCno lines or set into
a very loose armhole.
The fastening of the blouse appears
to be movable thing It may close
on one shoulder or on both, in the back
in the front, or it may not fasten al
all, merely slipped on over the head.

TAILORED SUIT IS FAVoRITE
Which Has Been Mastered by
American Manufacturers.

For so long a time now women have
come to accept the tailored coat suit
as the very foundation of their ward
robes that it is the first consideration
as the seasons change. Especially is
this true of the average woman whose
wishes are controlled by expediency
and determined by absolute need.
There is no doubt about the fact. that
American manufacturers have devel-
oped the supreme art in the making of
the coat suit. 1t is now possible to
buy such suits, so welL built, so per-
fectly designed, that few tailors can
excel, for as great care is given to de-
tail as the master makers themselves
can show.
Some foreign critic has said that
there is such a mOnotOny about the
clothes of American women that it is
as if everyone were trying to be as
much like her neighbor as possible, and
originality is an unknown sartOrial art
in this country. This critic must have
referred to the blue serge suits, for it
is undeniably the custom to clothe our
selves in dark blue, resting secure in
the choice of color and its suitability
for all occasions.
