WASHINGTON. July si.-shatter-
ing a century of precedents. the SEN
ate foreign relations committee be-
gan actual consideration OF the peace
treaty In u public session. The real
significance OF todays meeting of tho
committee. in tho view OF many sena.
tors, is that II sweeps aside the sem
atc's traditional policy OF deep se-
crecy in consideration OF treaties.
For a hundred years treaty delibera-
tons. both in a committee and be-
fore a fun senate, have been jealous
ly guarded. No European chancellor
took greater pains to keep its state
secrets than did the sehate. Now
without debate, without dissent
ing vote. simply by common consent.
this custom has been abandoned.
Members OF the committee said the
reason for the opening session is based
on the knowledge that secrecy cre-
ates Leaks" and that the way to in
sure both opponents and advocates OF
the treaty against distortion of their
views. as expressed in the COMMITTEES
or senate, is to open the doors and al

PhiIateIiSts SWindIed by
German Stamp SpecuIator;
Fake ESthonian StickerS

"a German citizen, who knows how
eager the worlds collectors are to OBJ
tain the stamps Of the countries of the
new Europe, has succeeded in pulling
the wool over the eyes of philatelists,
many of whom have paid as high as
$50 for set of Esthonian stamps
which have proven to be fakes
writes Kent B. Stiles in the stamp de-
partment of Boys Life
"When the Esths proclaimed their
land an independent republic on the
day on which the armistice was
signed. last November. the German
citizen was living at Reval, where the
proclamation was issued. He hurried
to a post Office and purchased stocks
of the stamps which the German oc-
cupation authorities had forced the
people of this former section of old
Russia to use during the days of the
invasion by the German troops. These
stamps are Germany's own woman in
armOr' designed labels, but with the
surcharge 'Postbegiet Oh. Ost.' upon
them.
"These occupation stamps the Ger
man citizen took with him into Ger
many. and upon them he had over
printed the inscription 'Eesti,' mean
ing 'Esthonia.' These were then al
lowed to circulate among stamp deal
ers. 1t was supposed that they had
been legitimately issued by the Es-
thonian government, and they were
soon regarded as being among the
more valuable stamps of Europe's re-
construction period"

Noise Like AirpIane Adds
to "Movie' Plane Scenes

All kinds of instruments are used
behind the stage in theaters and pic
ture houses to produce limitations Of
noises, such as the Gathering of
horses hoofs, the entrance of train
into a station, and so on; and quite
elaborate machines have been thought
out to produce these noises. Flight
has made it necessary to invent still
another one, and new instrument has
been produced to make noise like an
airplane. Two large disks are fitted
together with partitions like water
wheel, and holes about four inches
apart are arranged round the circum-
ference. While one man turns the
wheel quickly round, another nan
pours jet Of compressed air against
the holes, and the noise is exactly like
that of the motor of an airplane in
flight.

that case he would be eligible to en-

Question-May children be enrolled

Answer-There is no age limit. Chill
dren who own live stock and who are
able to sign their names and comply
with the requirements may be en-
rolled. Children interested in live
stock should be encouraged to enroll.
Briefly, a person must believe that
the scrub rooster and the scrub boar
are as Objectionable. in principle, as
the scrub bull. There must be clean
sweep of inferior sires if the owner
wishes Uncle Sam to officially enroll
him in the Better Sires-Better
Stock" crusade. But the conditions are
easily fulfilled by persons who, realiz-
ing the need for live stock improve
ment, are ready to put their beliefs
into actual practice.

What to Have for Breakfast.

what 10 rave TOR breakfast.
If woman be her own maid, as sta
tistics tell us 85 per cent of us are,
a dainty satisfying breakfast is her
family's by a little preparation in ad-
vance. An alarm clock to insure the
right time of rising will give ample
time to arrange the meal unhurriedly.
He who goes mornings from a quiet
house, comfortable and we'll ordered
is twice as capable as his neighbOr
whose wife either leaves him to pre-
pare his own meal Or comes down with
disordered hair and apparel, and
whines at him from across a miserable
breakfast
The uniform breakfast" advocated
by some is a most convenient one as
it saves brain fag you know just what
you are to prepare and the family
knows just what they will have; how
ever, the most Of us like an occasional
break from fruit and cereal, eggs and
bacon, either or both, toast and coffee,
with perhaps a doughnut or cookey
to finish off with.
A pleasing variety in the daily menu
is secured by having a variety of pre-
pared cereals as we'll as those which
need cooking. In this way there is
no chance to tire of any one kind and
the favorites may be repeated more
often.
Goldfish balls, broiled or baked
mackerel, finnan haddie and smoked
salmon are fish dishes which are per-
missible for the first meal of the day
OF the meats the favorites are bacon,
ham, chops, corn beef hash, frizzled
beef and calf's brains.
Eggs are universally used as break
fast dish and are served in so many
ways that one never tires of them.
Omelets form an especially desirable
egg dish. Scrambled, fried, poached,
cooked in the shell. cooked in ramekins
with cream, and eggs in combination
with rice and other foods too numer-
Gus to mention are all desirable dishes.
