For The Riddles
A" Good Night" Story
The Last Cut-Worm.
BY Blanche Silver.
BY Blanche Silver.

Once upon a time. down in the
ground near a lovely garden, there
lived two little cut-worms, Willy
CUT Worm, who was almost too lazy
to crawl. and his brother. Spotty
Cut-Worm.
One fine evening, when Willy and
Spotty were plenty old enough to
take care of themselves, Mamma
Cut-Worm sent them out to seek
their fortunes in the great. big world
first telling them always TO be on the
watch for trouble.
Always remember cut-worms
must work as well as eat, for the
cut-worm who is too lazy to bore his
own sleeping place will never live to
become an owlet moth" said
Mamma Cut-Worm. kissing her chill
dren good-by.
Spotty promised, but Willy Cut
Worm only shook his little head in
a knowing way and wiggled through
the dirt to the garden.
All through the long moonlight
| night Willy and Spotty went from
/ one vegetable to another. eating
until their little sides fairly bulged
they were so full
Well, I've had enouEh"' exclaim
ed Spotty Cut-Worm, dropping from
a tomato plant down to the sof.
earth. "And I'm going TO go TO bed. 4"
I'm not" replied Willy Cut
Worm. For tomorrow night maybe
some one else will come along and
eat the remaining plants"
Yes, but daylight's creeping
across the sky. and all good cut
worms should be sound asleep be-
fore the sun comes up If they want
TO be healthy. Besides, It takes a
little time to bore n proper hole for
a sleeping place" replied Spotty.
You'd better come on and bore
next TO me-"
"One thing sure" exclaimed Willy
Cut-worm. I'm not going to the
trouble OF digging a sleeping place
I can't see why cut-worms have to
sleep in the daytime in the first
place. and 40 long as they do I'm
going 10 crawl on the underside OF
the leaf I'm on when l feel drowsy
and go to sleep. Then I'll be here
when evening comes. II makes me
tired, this boring a new bed every
/ morning."
You mean you're too lazy" cried
| Spotty. Have your way. but re-
member what our mamma told us
about lazy worms" And without
another word Spotty Cut-Worm
sought a nice soft place. and boring
a deep hole he crawled in and soon
fell asleep
When he awakened the next
morning Spotty searched all over
the garden for his brother, but no
one had seen him.
Every evening Spotty inquired OF
all the cut-worms il they had seen
his brother, but no one could tell
him anything about willy. So, worn
out. Spotty Cut-Worm crawled into
his hole one morning, and there he
stayed until he was full grown, and
when he again came up into the
garden 10 eat he had two lovely
gauzy wings. and the night folks
called him the black owlet moth.
Spotty Cut-Worm never saw his
lazy brother again, but he never lost
a chance OF inquiring. often when
he sees a cut-worrn curled up on q
leaf he stops 20 tell them the fate
OF HIS lazy brother.

The sports models designed for
wear at fashionable winter resorts
are showing slight changes from
similar models of last year. A di-
version in belts and pockets or col
lars is all that is permitted because
the line of supreme simplicity for
sports clothes has been reached
and. happily, has been maintained.
A charming model OF Copenhagen
blue silk poplin is illustrated in this
sports coat and shirt. The lines of
the coat are straight, the fullness
being held by a high belt, which
ends in a novel finish of dull blue
wooden beads. The same beads out
line the pockets and trim the revers.
A knife-pleated collar of white crepe
de chine attached 10 a blouse of the
same material falls over the blue
revers. The skirt of this costume is

The Bargain CALI to Action

To many women the world over
the magic word bargain" Is like a
trumpet call TO action. There is
something indescrfbably tempting In
the thought OF getting possession OF
articles which are more or less nee
essary to ones welfare for a smaller
sum Of money than they are actually
worth. Occasionally. of course, this
may be achieved; but. generally
speaking, IL is a trueism that one
cannot have genuine worth without
paying for it And. when all is said,
should one really covet it7
This is the longing that leads one
TO haunt crowded aisles in the big
shops, eagerly tossing and turning
over plies Of tumbled articles on the
counters, in company with others in
tent upon the same errand. Some
thing which has been purchased for
less money than our friends assure

 The memorial demanded that judges who exceeded their authority should be promptly impeached. It asserted that "our courts and judges have been disregarding the rights of the people and exercising powers more tyrannica1 than any assumed by the most tyrannal despot ever known to history"
 The resolution charged further that the courts had subordinated the legis- lative and executive departments of the government through their will.
 The courts were declared "as a sim ister influence which is sapping the life from our institutions and creating the worst sort of autocracy.''

Majority Socialists Are More Favorably Inclined
 Toward Treaty. EXCITING RUMORS
 IN NEWSPAPERS Only Minor Affairs Being Taken Up By Officials of
 Conference.
(By the A. P.)

My NAAC 4As German feeling toward the
 peace treaty appears to be talk
 ing more favorable trend. AL
 though the peace delegation
 headed by Count von Brock
 dOrff-RantZau is represented
 as decidedly opposed to accept
 ance of the revised allied
 terms, the latest despatches
 from Weimar, where the Ger
 man cabinet and national aS-
 sembly are considering the
 treaty, reflect a different view
 point.
 The majority socialists. the pres ent dominant political force in the German republic, are declared in these advfces to be more favorably inclined toward the treaty than at first, while the cIericals and the domacrats of the Left Wing are re- ported to be swinging in the same direction. One report from Berlin represents the people of the capitol as resigned to the future, desiring only to see the treaty signed and the suspense ended.
 In the meantime, however, exciting rumors are printed in London news
 papers, 1t being said that the grand fleet is prepared to sail on short mo- tice for German waters and that British dirigibles are already near the German coast, if not over Ger man soil. W Only minor affairs are being taken up by the minor officials of the peace conference in the absence of Presf- dent Wilson in Belgium. Efforts be- ing made to adjust the railway com Triest and Vienna to the satisfaction of Italy, Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-Slova-
 kia. This problem seems quite dif1- cult and may be left over to be con- sidered by the league of nations. {; Demonstrations by French sailors at Brest on Tuesday night and Wed-i nesday seem to have died down, all though a recrudescense of the trouble was feared there according to last re- ports.
 While admitting that it has little di- rect or comprehensive information re- garding the German attitude towards
 the signing of the peace treaty, the American delegation to the peace con- ference is optimistic in it's view of the situation. In common with peace conference circles generally the dele gates are not disfurbed by the news paper reports froh Germany, received here, of an unfrfendly nature toward the revised terms.

BLIMP RIA PUTS OFF
 FLIGHT
Will Not Start Until Ger. many Makes Decision on
 Peace Treaty.

London, June 19-The flight of the British dirigible R-34 to America is definitely pOstpOn- ed until Germany decides what she intends to do regarding the peace terms.
 Should Germany refuse to sign, according to one officer, the flight of the R-34 will be eastward instead of westward. BIG BLIMP..
 The airships which are now engaged in a demonstrative flight over Ger many will return to their bases to- night and remain there until the Ger man decision is announced.
 Bombs and machine guns were un- necessary in the present flight said the officer. Should they have to go eastward again, however, these things may be needed"
 The foregoing appears to dispose of reports in London last night that the R-33 and R-34 were armed for their eastward cruises.
