SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 9.-On the
north side Of Stone road, in the town
fof Greece, il an obscure frame dwell
ing. almost completely surrounded by
"a thick growth of lilac bushes and
other shrubbery. There live Mrs.
iMAEdaIena Cushman, her son. Thorn
las Cushman, and her daughter, Mrs.
Margaret c. Martin. Mrs. Martin has
lived with her mother for the last
two years, having previously resided
In Rochester.
Mrs Martin has consulted the dis
:trict attorney and the sheriff ia re-
gard TO experiences which she alleges
have befallen her. She declares that
soon after she came to live with her
mother strange things began to hap
pen. -,
"The first thing / noticed" she says,
was that some peculiar substance
was being rubbed on my hands every
night, and 1 would have a sweet taste

MY mother has experienced the

night. When it gets into my clothes
and they are washed il leaves a
greasy scum around the edge of the
bathtub.

standing out on the lawn behind one
Of the lilac bushes. An automobile |

From Brooklyn, n. Y, comes the
complaint that rouge, face powder,
eyebrow pencils and the fluid that i'm

and indelible gold have gone up un-
reasonably in price The District At
torney has been appealed TO, where
upon the sellers OF cosmetics have
come forth hastily with the assertion
that their prices have been raised far
less than the prices OF materials. And
10 is said that complaints about the
high cost OF good looks have been
heard elsewhere. although Brooklyn is
the only city in which the indlgns-
tion has gone so far as to demand
prosecution.
According 10 the manager OF one OF
the leading beauty shops in Whining
ion, there has been a tremendous in
crease in the cost OF cosmetics, but
she attributes that TO the greatly in
creased demand.

KOLCAAk ONLY
HOPE OF RUSSIA
BRITISH COLONEL SAYS WHITE
LEADER Is NOT REAC-
TIONARY

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Colonel John
Ward who has just returned from
Siberia where he commanded a bat
talon of British troops which
helped to overthrow the Bolshevik
power there, says: I'm my opinion
the only chance for democracy in
Russia lies in the success of Kol-
chalk. His attitude on the land
question shows that he is not the
reactionary he has been represented.
He sees clearly that the distribu-
ton of big estates among the peas
antry cannot be interfered with.
ut is proposed that those land
owners who have survived Bolshev-
ism shall be given compensation for
the land they have lost but there is
no idea or restoring the land to
them. Kolchak stands up for the
poor peasants against what Lenine
has been calling the village bour-
geoisie.'
"It is found that well-to-do .eas-
ants had murdered many of the
landowners, given a meager portion
of the poorest land to the poorest
peasants and joined the bulk of the
estate to their own holdings. Kol-
.chak, with the advice of representa-
tives of the allies, decided to secure
for the poor peasants a fair distri-
button of the land. When this was
known the comparatively wealthy
peasants, who had secured the big
gest share of the land raised the
cry that the old state of affairs was
to be restored. In some cases they
stirred up the peasants to revolt and
caused disturbances which had to be
put down by force.
ITO know what Bolshevism is
you should have been with me at
Perm when the ice on the river was
melting and the bodies of many who
had been murdered by the Boil
sheviki were revealed. i, myself,
saw SO of them and among them
were the bodies of a number OF
women and children. At one place
there was a wash-house built over
the river. The B~olsheviki cut a
hole in the floor through which they
dropped their victims into the deep
waters beneath. Bolshevism means
the end of democracy. am certain
that If Russia is left to the Bolshe-
Wiki, it will ultimately return to
autocracy."

GREATEST AUTO
TOURING YEAR
OVER 50, OOO,O 900 SPENT ALONG
NATIONAL PARK HIGH
WAYS

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 6.-More
than 50, 100000 was spent by motor
tourists in cities and towns along
the National Parks highway this
year, the greatest touring year in
the history of the country, according
to Fred A.. Adams, field secretary
of the National Parks Highway as
ISOLATION.
Tourists from every state in the
union, with travel almost equally
divided between east and west
bound cars, have toured the 5000
miles of highway from Chicago to
the Pacific coast and from Puget
Sound to Lake Michigan" he said.
Mr.. Adams bases the value of
motor travel on an estimate of 3d.
900 cars; that occupants of each a
spent at least SIS a day while on
the road; and that each of the 3d.
900 cars was on the highway a
minimum Of 20 days.
II consider the estimate a very
conservative one," he said. This
traffic was interstate and does not
take into consideration the greatly
increased volume of interstate
travel"
Although every city and town
along the highway has benefited
greatly, those towns, Mr.. Adams de-
clared, which have established free
camps for tourists and provided &C
commodations for their comfort
reaped the greatest financial
harvest.

SUPREME COURT
SESSION STARTS
RIGHT TO MANUFACTURE 2.75
PER CENT BEER TO BE
DECIDED

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. e.
Because Of the announced intention
of the government to push prosecu-
ton of antitrust cases held in
allegiance during the war. the ses-
sion of the supreme court which be-
gan today is expected to prove. one
of the most important in the history
of the court.
Cases pending include those
against the alleged Anthracite coal
trust, the United States Steel cor
poration, the Eastman Kodak COM
pany, the Associated Billposters and
Distributors of the United States
and Canada, the American Can COM
pany, the Quaker Oats company and
also the Southern Pacific Merger
case.
Arguments in pending cases will
begin tomorrow with the coal case
the first to be heard. The steel
case probably will be the second
to be argued. Others will be argued
at intervals, but under an agree
ment between the government and
the Quaker Oats company that case
will not be heard until January.
General public interest attaches
to another case before the court,
that of the right of breweries to
continue the manufacture of beer
containing 2.75 per cent of alcohol.
Appeals from lower court DEGREES
at Baltimore and New Orleans al
ready have been filed.
A case of Importance to business
interests is the Macomber stock
dividend proceedings which involve
the constitutionality of the provis-
ions of the 1916 income tax act tax
ing stock dividends as income.
Although the supreme court at its
last term upheld the constitution
atty of the espionage act. a large
number of appeals r still pending
in cases growing out of convictions
under that law. Among these is the
case of James Peterson, candidate
for the republican nomination in
opposition to Senator Nelson, of
Minnesota, in 1918, and who was
sentenced to four years imprison-
ment because of newspaper articles
he wrote.
James D. Maher, clerk of the
court, announces that the number
of appeals filed this term is 125
less than during the last term.
While there is no explanation of
this decrease in the number of APP
peals, Mr., Maher said he believed it
was due to the fact that lawyers
generally are becoming more in
clined not to appeal cases of only
minor Importance.

GERMAN FOOD
COSTS RISING
PEOPLE PROTESTING AGAINST
CONTROL OF FOOD BY THE
GOVERNMENT

COBLENZ, Oct. 6.-More insist
ent protests than ever before against
government food control, the host
of food profiteers and food brokers
and the ever-increasing speculation
in foreign exchange now fill the col
umns of the food journals and farm
magazines of Germany.
Food prices continue very high.
This is attributed partly to the low
valuation Of the mark. The official
exchange rate for the mark for
September at headquarters of the
American forces in Germany was
% marks to the dollar. This, of
course, is the paper mark; coins are
not in circulation.
Since Germany resumed COM
mercial relations with the outside
world, she has been able to import
meager quantities of necessary and
foodstuffs, with the excep-
of fish and milk, the food
journals say. There has been a
good crop of fruits and vegetables
Germany. Livestock is
reported to be about 20 per cent
below normal with little prospect of
enough food to stimulate breeding
except possibly Of hogs.

In the days when Nicholas ruled

the ultimate answer. This much is
certain, however: English manufac-
turers unquestionably have every
incentive to attempt to accomplish
this result. And American foreign
trade, If 1t is to maintain a perma-
nent place in the van of world COM
merce, must make up its mind once
and for all that production costs
must be pared down to the last

BY EDWARD W. PlckARp.

- SS SVvVhS tStNNItSs
Seemingly convinced that, by soma
means not yet revealed, the opposition
of a large part of the American senate
can he overcome, the peace delegates
in Paris went ahead last week with
the work of welding the treaty and the
league Of nations plan. President
Wilson declared there was no inten-
tion of handling the two matters sep
arately, and in this be was supported
by others of the leaders.sIt was admit
ted that the league plan would have
to be amended in various particulars.
and that the American delegates had
made up their minds to accept Ger.
tain limited number Of changes. Per.
haps it was believed these alterati0ns,
which probably will not be at all fadi-
cal. would satisfy the objecting sena-
tors. Their attitude and language do
not tend to Justify that belief.
Some Of the correspondents In Paris
fear that insistence on Joining the
covenant of the league with the peace
treaty will delay the latter OtherA
equally well informed, assert that the
difficulties will be speedily removed,
intimating that the principles OF the
league, in so far as they have been
generally accepted, @lll be incorporat-
ed in the treaty and that differences
Of opinion regarding specific parts Of
the covenant win be recognized and
discussion of them left to a later date.
Thus, they think, President Wilson
and the supporters Of his plan will be
satisfied and the opposition in Ameri-
ca and elsewhere placated.
