Dear Miss Grey: This Is an
answer to the woman who thinks she
has solved the problem Of the high
cost OF living. You probably think
you know all the fine points ON how
to get by with the high cost Of liv-
ing, but If you had TO live right
downtown in apartments you would
find It a different proposition.
do not happen 20 be one OF the
lucky ones who are able TO live ON
one.half acre ranch and have
all the helpful things ono is able to
keep, such as a garden, chickens.
etc. I am compelled to live right
downtown so / can be with my nus
band as much as possible.
Also, / can't class myself with the
fashion apes you mention. as have
had only two winter coats and three
summer suits in the last six years,
and none of them came TO over s22.
/ do all of my own laundry. cook
ing, dressmaking and / also make
most of my hats.
II, Just because woman would
like TO SEQ her children have a good
education, they are expensivemind-
ed, well, then I surely am one OF
them.
You say to learn to adapt your
self TO circumstances. II everyone
would always learn to adapt them
selves TO circumstances the world
would not progress. We would still
be wearing fig leaves. l suppose II
your husbands salary was cut down
$50 month you wouldn't try 10 bet
ter yourself You would just adapt
yourself to that circumstance and be
perfectly satisfied. You say II is so
discouraging for a man to have a
d'scontented wife. ] agree with you.
I am discouraged for his sake.
don't like TO think Of his working
all the days of his life for just a
living.
SO come again Experienced and
Happy" ! know just as much now
as did before on how to cope with
the high cost OF living.
STILL PUZZLED.

Dear Miss Grey: In regard TO the
race question. was born and raised
in the south so / well know that
anyone that has negro blood in them
cannot marry a full-blooded white
person. according to the law of the
old confederate states.
If we go by tee Scriptures, as r
have always done, and was taught
to do by my parents and grand
parents. we would follow the law,
Marry in your own tribe and thus
keep yourself unspotted from the
world"
According TO the law. IL white
woman marries a negro she is a
negress: II a negro woman marries
a white man she is a white woman:
II she marries a Swede she is a
Swede.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
 FUND CAMPAIGN THIS WEEK

Little Rock, Oct. 20.-This is the week for the collection of the .Roose- welt Memorial Fund in Arkansas. The state has been thoroughly cov- cred with Literature on the subject. Wallace Townsend, state chairman of the Association, says that individual contributions will be unlimited, and that the smallest sums will be well come, entitling the donor to member ship in the organization which will raise the memorials to the former president.
 There will be memorial meetings in every city and town of the country on Roosevelt's birthday, Oct. 27, as a concrete expression of the peoples appreciation of the former president. The countries of the allies, whose cause Theodore Roosevelt valiantly espoused in the darkest days of the war, are joining America in this movement.

AUTO OWNERS SIGNING
 LIFE SAVING CAMPAIGN

Little Rock, Oct. 2O.-Literally, thousands of postcard pledges are being received by F. L. Reed, presi- dent of the Arkansas Automobile Dealers Association, as the result of the life saving campaign being con ducted by that organization.
 Warning letters are being sent to every automobile owner in the state, showing the result of carelessness in crossing railroads ahead of approach ing trains, and how there may be a conservation of life by the exercise of due diligence and caution.
 The pledge which is being signed follows:
 T hereby solemnly pledge myself, before attempting to cross or enter upon railroad tracks with automobiles or trucks to see both ways and know the way is clear and caution others to do the same"
 The psychological effect of having every one of the fifty thousand auto mobile owners of the state to sign this pledge, will, it is believed, have a notable bearing upon the number of tragic accidents in the future.

TREATY FIGHT NOW NEAR FINAL STAGE
Last of Amendments To Be Re- jected During Fist Part of the Week-ReservatiOns Are Up Next.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The long treaty fight in the Senate is about to enter it's final phase. Leaders hope during the coming week to clear away all proposed amendments and make substantial progress in the framing of ratification resolution.
 Virtually conceding that no amend ments will be adopted, the opposition managers are determined to qualify the ratifying resolution with reserva- tions and Senator Lodge, the Republi- can leader, declared tonight that a decisive majority would stand for reservations that would be "unequiv- ocal and effective"
 Privately the opposition leaders de- clared MT. Lodges claim was backed by an understanding amounting vir- tually to complete agreement among the forty-nine Republicans and six Democrats to stand together for a reservation program. It was said not all of the details had been agreed upon, though on general principles the ffty-five Senators had been brought very close together.
 How far the remaining forty-one senators will go in their opposition to reservation is an uncertain question even in tn eminds of some of their leadsrs. They have stood unswerving- ly through the long fight for Presi- dent Wilson's program of ratifica- tion that would not require the treaty's re-submission to the other powers. But it is for the president himself to decide finally whether any reservations adopted do require such submission, and his illness has left the administration leaders somewhat in the dark.
 There have been intimations that should reservations unacceptable to the administration be put into the ratification resolution the administra- tion forces would vote No" on the ratification roll call, but their leaders are not ready to say how they will cross that bridge until they come to it. It would take only thirty-three votes to prevent ratification.
 Senator Lodge tonight declared op- ponents of reservations wuold be re- sponsible for any further delay in Senate action, indicating that the whip would be applied to hold down debate. Quick action also is slogan of the administration forces, but how far the leaders can go in stemming the tide of talk is very uncertain. Their hope is to get started tomorrow on the last of the committee amend ments, proposing equalization of vot- ing power in the league of nations, and to dispose of them within a day or two.

CAPITAL AND
 LABOR DISAGREE
,,dustrial Conference Now More HOpeIessly Tangled Than Ever Before Tentative Pact is Shattered.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Solution of +be difficulties seriously threatening +ba national industrial conference seemed more hopeless than ever to- r;obt after the conferences central ocmn,ttee in a three-hour session fa;led to conciliate the differences be- tween the labor and employer wings.
 The tentative agreement reached Saturday on the question of collective bargaining was shattered today when the employers group insisted on add ing to the substitute resolution a clause declaring for the right of lem uloyers and employees to bargain in- dividually." This clause was rejected unqualifedly by the labor delegates.
 Previous to the introduction of the Individual bargaining" clause an ap- parent solution to the problem had been reached. The original Russell Endcott resolution, providing for re- copnition of the right to collective bargaining and the right of employees to choose their representatives at will, was revamped, divided into four sec tions and amended to read "in the right to organize into trade and labor unions, shop and other industrial as- sociations." The section granting to labor organizations the right to choose representatives without res trictions was amended to read '..by representatives, chosen by a majority of their own members"
 The compromise measure as amend ed met with the approval of the labor and public groups and some members of the employers wing, when brought before the committee. Later, how ever, the employers insisted on the addition of fifth section, the "indi- vdual bargaining" clause, which was promptly vetoed by the labor group. This left the central committee dead locked just as it was when the con- ference adjourned Friday.
 In outlining the position of the labor group before the central com mttee today, Frank Morrison, secre- tary of the American Federation of Labor, asserted that the representa- tlves of the workers did not enter the conference with any intention of at tempting to obtain concessions, but rather in a desire for better under sanding between capital and labor, 'nat the workers had made every con sesslon thus far and that his groups could not yield further than to indorse sue provisions of the original Russell Hndlcott resolution. herbert F. Perkins, of Chicago, act

BOLSHEVIK FORCES OUT OF PETROGRAD
Finnish General Staff is Author ity For Report of the City's Capture-Reds Are Gathering Forces.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The fall of Petrograd and the occupancy of both that city and the fortress of Kronstadt by the Russian anti Bolshevik forces has been reported officially by the general staff of the Finnish army to the Viborg representative of the northwest government of Russia. This information reached the state depart ment tonight.
 In making public tonight the de- partment's advices, Acting Secretary Phillips said that direct dispatch, dated today and received here tonight from the departments representative nearest the old Russian capital re- ported that Finnish official announce ment had not been corroborated from other sources.
 The announcement crediting the Finnish general staff as authority was quite .hrief and dated yesterday. It It came from Viborg and followed un- confirmed reports to the department through Swedish and Russian sources saying that Petrograd and Kronstadt had been wrested from the Bolsheviki by the beleaguering forces under Gen. eral Yudenitch; that the fall of the fortified town of Gatchina, 35 miles out from Petrograd on the way to Berlin, the collapse of the old capital was inevitable and that the Bolshevik were concentrating all their troops for decisive struggle with General Denikine's forces in the stress.
 Paris, Oct. 19-Sergius Sazonoff, representing Admiral Kolchak and General Denikine in Paris, informed the Associated Press this evening that he had received no advices of the capture of Petrograd. He considered, however, that it was likely.
 No information regarding the fall of Petrograd has been received by either the peace conference or the American delegation.
 London, Oct. 19.-The Red troops which retired from Krasnoye Selo and Gatchina, shortly afterward occu- pied both towns and the soviet army started a counter offensive which promises success, says wireless dis patch received here tonight from Mos COW.
 The dispatch adds that the land batteries repelled attacks by Brit ish fleet.

The United States has adopted new
policy regarding Chinese loans since
he time of Secretary of State Bryan,
who >declared that the United States
would not guarantee foreign loans by
American bankers. The new policy,
which has been submitted to Great
Britain, France and Japan, consists of
approval Of contracts for which the
money is to be expended before the
.oan becomes effective.
The loans must be for specific pur-
poses under contracts. Each contract
must be submitted to the State De-
rartmeur and approved. Then the
lAlted states while not guaranteeing
