mystery which involves the proceed

When asked to-day why It was
necessary for the travelling plans Of
the American delegation to be de-
pendent upon the steamship George
Washington. and why It could not 20
home on the Leviathan or on other
ships sailing on an earlier date for

The harsh denunciation OF the Ameri-

and charges that the ordering Of the

Brest before It's regular time Is nothing
short OF blackmail have not affected the
American delegates, who apparently are
not surprised at the newspaper criticism
While the Americans repeatedly reaf-
firm their belief that considerable
progress has been made In the last three
days, one member remarked to-day;
1T is not bad idea to have the ship

SEE VALUE OF MOTOR TRUCK
French Business Men Realize That
Their System Of Freight Transpor-
tation Is Obsolete.

That the war brought to France an
object lesson in the utility Of the
motOrtruck as means of freight
transportation appears In plans now
under way to develop long haul
system. 1t Is hoped thereby to quicken
the movement of goods and lessen
the impatience Of various business
interests with the slowness Of rail-
way and waterway traffic. The prac-
ticahility Of the motortruck as
freight carrier was revelation to
Frenchmen Of business who had de-
pended In normal times on what would
be held an abnormally slow service.
From Havre to Paris by boat means
often a journey Of at least three
months, and at the quickest, which
requires special arrangement with the
government, takes about. four weeks.
Commenting on railroad transpoita-
ton between Paris and the seaports,
a Paris business man is reported as
saying that from Havre one must ex-
pect delay Of one or two months,
from Bordeaux delay OF two or
three months, and that "when goods
foi Paris reach Marseilles they stay
there" The humorous exaggeration
illustrates the condition which is
turning Frenchmen to the hopeful
project of long hauls by motortrucks,
a solution which will probably de-
velop because the nation Is already
provided with excellent roads.

/, HeIium Gas cheapened.

Up to 1915 the total output ef
helium gas in all the world had prob
ably been less than 100 cubic feet and
It was worth about $1,700 cubic foot.
But just before the armistice was
signed shipment Of 10000 cubic
feet of helium gas was sent to Europe,
and 1t costs less than 10 cents cubic
foot.
Helium gas was first discovered on
the sun, by speetroscopy. 1t is the
best gas for use In balloons. because
1t is not iniiammable. 1t Is now ex-
tracted from the natural gas Of Texas
and Kansas.
The method 10 delicate and com.
plex, but is based upon the fact that
the principal constituents of natural
gas liquefy when cooled to about minus
800 degrees f., but that helium re-
mains gas at that temperature, and
hence is easily separated.

Honor Cuban Generals.

Cuba is to pay honor to the memory
Of General Maxine Gomez, the island
republics military hero, by erecting
costly monument. A first prize OF $685.
600 was awarded recently to Aldo
Gaba, an italian sculptor, for a model
Of the memorial, which is to cost $780,
600. Second and third prizes went re-
spectively to Huertas Cabarrocas, a
Spanish Cuban, and Gutson Borglum,
an American. General Gomez became
popular as the leader Of the Cuban
forces in the war for independence
from Spain, from 1895 to 1898. He
also took a prominent part In the Ten
Years war, a revolt which began in
1868, On the day of his death, June
IS, 1905. the generals family was pre-
sented with a gift Of 100000 by the
government of Cuba. AT the conclu-
sion of the Spanish-American war,
General Gomez was honored at a pub
lie reception given by the American
forces occupying Havana at that time.

THINK TERM IS EFFEMlNATE.
Some Tennis Players Object to Word
"Love" as at Present Employed
In Scoring System. Z.

There is talk among the oyerlords
Of tennis Of finding another word than
"love" to mean nothing" in the scor-
ing system. for, although It may sur
prise many to hear 1t. the game IL
sometimes spoken Of as effeminate,
and this bit of terminology is held re-
sponsible. Nobody has ever explained
why "love" means nothing" In tennis,
but there is footnote in an old and
rare book about card-playing which
refers to an old Scottish word fluff"
which meant nothing" and this, per-
haps. may have been somehow trans
ferred into the game Of tennis. Or,
again, the term may be Of far eastern
origin, where a word sounding like
1ove" was used in the old form Of
tennis that was once popular in the
orient. Whether or not the termin-
ology undergoes change, the game is
in no immediate danger Of falling off
in popularity, and the repeated shout
ing Of these seeming endearments
across the tennis net has occasioned
much innocent merriment. Christian

Peanut Now Important Crop.

The peanut has accomplished won
ders for agricultural development, and
has increased production by acres and
doubled the value Of land In many
sections. 1t similarly helped Alabama
through the crisis when the appear
ance of the weeyil played havoc in
the cotton fields of that state. 1t has
done well throughout the South, and
Virginia, which formerly stood first in
Its production, has sunkAtasflfth place.
The peanut oil industry has added
to the value of the crop, and this year
the total harvest and value were the
greatest ever recorded, In spite Of a
reduction in acreage. The once de-
spised peanut has proved itself valu-
able agricultural asset to the South
and the country, and the end is not
yet.--New Orleans Times-Picayune.
