Adventures

A LTHOUGH they are very attrac-
tive. there is little about the com
binaton rouge and powder boxes that is
unusual. II was quite by accident the
other night that | saw one of these boxes
with all the ear marks of the usual
vanity box, but with an extra added
attraction, as they say in the theatre
advertisements. 1t is covered in old
rose. has a delicately scented cake Of
powder, and one of rouge, and just be
tween the two is a tiny lip stick and
a little eyebrow pencil. The price is 81,

One dream year I spent days in the
mountains-fall. crispy days that sent
my blood a tingling and made my steI
quick. And at night, clear cold, with
the great silent mountains sharply sill
houetted against the moon clear sky
there was the aromatic scent of pine
and balsam and the wind through the
pine trees suggested the waves against
the shore. Perhaps it is the memory o
these halcyOn days and wonder night
that is the reason for my liking a little
pillow of balsam on my bed. But Ger
tainly there are many who have M
memories who enjoy these little pillow
merely for the pugent scent. And thel
there are others, practical souls, witt
will say that they like them becaus
they make them sleep. But in an!

interest in baisam pillows to tell yol

and could be incased in a dainty bou
doir pillow cover.

Washington, July 21st. Although
neither the STATE nor the Navy depart
ment mas received any further informa-
ton since Sunday regarding the attack
and robbery on July 8th OF a boatload Of
sailors from the Cayenne" IN the Tame
81 River near Tampico. the incident has
continued to eclipseall in official circles
and no attempt is made TO minimize the
gravity of the situation. The Mexican

New YORK. July 2lsC. With no sign in
sight OF a settlement of the Marine work

extension of the strike involving the rail
ways appeared today when the iremen,
oilers and water tent ) of two tugs OF
the New York, Ontario and western rail
road walked out.
London, July 21st. There is a natural
prejudice against trading with Germany,
Sir Donald MacLean said in opening the
debate in the House of Commons today
on the second reading OF the German
peace treaty and the AnglO-French agree
ment. But, he added, he could not see
how the Allies could recOver the inden1-
nifty unless they traded With her, and
he regretted that the peace terms them
selves prevent Germany from giving re-
paration and making a speedy payment
of the part of the Indemnity. Unlike
many of my party. Sir Donald continued.
| agree absolutely that the ex-Kaiser
who was RESPONSIBLE for some OF the
gr0ssest acts f the war. who has been
rejected by his own people, should be
brought to fair and solemn trial. He
suggested no NeVer. that instead of the
trial being neld in London it should take
place in relative 0bscurIty in some neu-
ira! State. After referring to the seeth-
ing calldron in the Near East, he said
the one bright and shining hope of the
whole picture is the League 81 NaCOns.
Berlin, July 21st- i report IS current
in financial circles that American finan-
ciers propose the reorganization of the
Observation-Disclosures and North Ger
mar Lloyd lines and that rile yes
sell will fly the United States flag
when again put in commission. The idea
is stated to be favored by the German
stockholders. The Government has an
nounced its intention OF reimbursing
shipoWners for losses sustained during
the war, and negotiations are now pro-
ceeding in Berlin, shipoWners demanding
from four to six times the pre-War value

Washington, July 22nd.-By a vote of

framed it the prediction that it would
forever suppress the liquor traffic on
American soil. Exactly one hundred

Liverpool, July 22nd. Virtually all
liners due to sail from Liverpool today
were unable to leave their docks because
of a strike among the dock gatemen, in
sympathy with the men engaged on the
dredgers who are out. By the end of
the week it is feared the 80, 900 lockers
in Liverpool will join the strikers.
London, July 22nd-A despatch to the
Evening News from Bradford. York
shire, today announced that pumping
had ceased in the remainder of the York
shire coal mines this afternoon, this be-
ing the first time in forty five years
that the ventilation of the mines had
stopped. The correspondent adds that
the defiance of the Miners Federation,
by Mr.. Herbert Smith, President of the
Yorkshire Miners Association, in decIar

and the despatch adds that a long strug-

London, July 22nd-Si iii Eric Geddes,
Minister without portfolio, who had been
named as the Government commissioners
to try and settle the strike Of more than
200, 900 miners in the Yorkshire district,
had a conference with the mine inspec-
tors there today, but the las reports
state that not one Of the miners in
either the west of south Yorkshire fields
is working. and that water continued
to rush into the mines as none Of the
naval pumpmen ordered there by the
Government have arrived. The men of
Davenport and other naval stations how
ever have been told to hold themselves
in readiness to move at any moment.
London, July zlst The House Of ''om-
mons ton ght passed the second and
third reading of the peace treaty. The
Bill passed the Committee Of the whole
without amendment, but when the third

demanded its reje :tion as a protest a
gainst the Premier's reference to Ireland.
Mr.. Lloyd George in replying rediculed
the suggestion that his attitude towards
Ireland had changed, and said he stood
by his position as he announced at the
general election and was prepared to
carry it into effect. Home Rulers, ne
