fPv Tinted Press )

London, Aug. 6.-While there was nothing official today to indicate the British ministry proposes military az gresson against Russian Bolshevik British warships at Constantinople and on the Baltic are prepared to place soviet Russia under blockade. It is believed that plans already ma tured by France and England will place adequate supplies of munitions at the disposal of Poland in resisting the Bolshevil-i. At the same time. the blockade will sti1e Russia's sources of supply.
 Warsaw dispatches today said that the Polish line of defense has stiffen- ed in the face of the invaders and tIat the Russian advance has been checked along the yer Bug. The evacuating of Warsaw, however. is be- ing continued on indications that the rolish line will give way before the assault of the reds.
 Laborites and others opposed to in- tervention by England are organiz- ing to hold public demonstrat .ons | throughout England tonight. Their purpose is to voice indignation against the empire aiding Poland in any way since Austria and Germany had declared neutrality in the con flict.

I was wild to explore this queer, new landscrape outside my window.
 There was no grass to he seen in the groves If pines. and I surmised that the little on the lawns had been carefully planted there. Sand cov- cred everything. and the effect of the trees and flowers growing directly from it was bewilderinE at first, ai- though I admitted it's peculiar charm.
 Madgc Bctrays Resentment.
 One thing disappointed me. The winter had been SO lon and bleak that had inordinately longed to see the first tender green of the maple and oak trees. It is sight in which revei each spring. and in my ig- norance I had thought that I should see the first leafing out of the trees when I arrived in the southland. But although there were large number of trees besides the towering pines they were as stark and bare as those I had left behind in Marvin.
 "I thought they'd surely he in leaf" I said mournfully to myself. and was startled to hear Dicky's voice answer me.
 That gave me q jolt. too. old dcar." he said, and looking quickly over at him l saw that he was sit ting up in bed. his hands clasped around his knees, while his gaze was roaming over the scene I had been admIring. 'T sure thought that I'd find the trees in leaf down here. I'm SO fed up on snow and ice and brown wood that I'd like never to see an other northern winter.
 But come to think of it." he went on brightly. i've couldn't expect much of n change in seven hundred miles. Guess it's much like our own climate. onty spring comes earlier and win ter later. They have very little snow. and it seldom gets very cold. I'm told they play golf on the Cedar Croft links almost the year round. At least that's tho dope Maje. was handing out. Guess he's been down here a lot"
 The nickname he persisted in be- slowing on Maj. Grantland grated unaccountably. Without thinking Of Dicky's possible displeasure l spoke hastily.
 "I wish yor wouldn't call him that ridiculous name" l said pettishly "It sounds exactly as if you were speaking of dog"

This has nothing to do with a kitchen but does mean a saving of several dollars.
 Use a chamos skin, the same one perhaps that you use for washing windows, to wash your automobile.
 Dip the chamois in water and do not wiring. Wash a small section of the car. Dip the chamois again in water, wiring as dry as possible and rub, always in the same direction, the spot that you washed. The pro- cess seems to polish as we'll as clean
 This method does not apply to car that is muddy. But when your car is dusty and you don't want it that way nor want to pay for a wash you can do it yourself quite as easily as YOU wash windows.
