REDS BEST METHOD
To End Anarchism in Nation, Says
New York Attorney
General.

hington.-Stringent laws and
strict enforcement of them will not
curb radicalism, but education must
walk hand in hand with law, Charles
D. Newman, Attorney General Of New
York, told the House Judiciary Com
mittee which is considering anti-Sedi-
ton legislation. Though differing with
the New York Acknowledgement in the
extent and seriousness of the radical
movement, Francis III. f. Kane, who
resigned as District Attorney for East
ern Pennsylvania because he differed
with the Department of Justice in its
campaign against "reds," agreed that
education was needed because num-
Der of members Of the Communist,
Communist Labor and other radical
parties were ignorant Of the purposes
of the organizations and signed men,
bership cards under false assump-
lions. Former District Attorney Kane
told the committee he saw no menace
to the country whatever, in the way
of radicalism, much of that which is
said and written on the subject being
"mere bunk" From the New York At
torney General, however, the commit
tee gained a different view.
Five hundred thousand radicals had
organized in New York to overthrow
the Government, he said, adding that
unless Congress and the American
public soon awoke to the danger it
would l., too late to stop their activi-
ties. The radical movement, Attorney
General Newton asserted, is fed on
ignorance and misguidance. For that
reason he recommended that teachers
of Americanization work Simultaneous
ly with Department of Justice agents,
the former to educate in patriotism
those liable to fall under the teachings
of the radicals and the latter to arrest
and hand over for deportation the
graduated pupils in the radicalism
schools. Quoting various excerpts
of the cleft wing manifesto" published
in the Revolutionary Age" in July,
1919, Mr.. Newton declared moderate
Socialists were condemned while the
more violent element of the party
sought !. soviet form of Government,
which would be accompanied by re-
pudiation of all national debts. This
means an advocacy of reputation of
Liberty bonds and all other Govern
men obligations held by patriotic citi-
zens who loaned to the Government
billions of dollars in the time of war;"
he added.

DEFIANCE BY
HUNS FORECAST
ALLIED LIST OF GERMAN WAR
CRIMINALS Is HANDED
TO PREMIER.
Premier Bauer Expressed to the
French Charge the Governments
DisapprovaI of Lersner's Action in
Running Away From Paris.

Berlin.-The allied list Of war Grim
inals and the covering letter have
been handed to Premier Gustav Bauer
by NJ DeMarcilly, French Charge DAT
flares.
A letter from Premier Alexander Mil
lerand accompanied the note and list,
explaining the new procedure of the
allies as the outcome of refusal of
Baron Karl Lersner to transmitthe list
to the German Government.
Premier Bauer expressed to the
French Charge the Governments dis
approval of Lersner's action. The
Cabinet is sitting to discuss the allied
demands.
The covering note says that not all
Germans guilty of infractions of the
laws Of warfare are included in the
list, but that, for reasons of practical
bility, only those are cited to whom
the greatest responsibility attaches.
The allied Powers, however, do not
propose amnesty for these not in
Guided, but reserve the right to prose-
cute them in event they are appre-
hended in these territories. Posses
sion of all German documentary evil
dance and access to the archives also
are demanded to facilitate proSecu-
ton.
In a supplementary note the allied
Powers reply to the German commune
cation of January %, which explained
Germany's reasons for not carrying out
the eXtradition provision. Premier
Millerand, in letter to Gustav Bauer,
intimates that he does not hold the
German Government responsible for
Baron Lersner's action in quitting
Paris because he assumes that Ger
many will not attempt to evade a
treaty obligation to which it's sigma
ture was affixed.
Officials thus far have declined to
give information regarding the size OF
nature of the list. q,
Army and navy leaders month ago
compiled a list of regulations for COM
mon action. These instructions, which
are signed by Generals Heeringen,
Kluck and Falkenhayn, as well as 9th
ers, declare that they must refuse to
surrender, refuse to recognize the le-
gality of foreign Court and do moth
ing in the shape of personal defense OF
otherwise acknowledge such Court.

tary of War Newton D. Baker, in
report soon to be presented to the
House by a special committee, which
has completed a long investigation of
methods employed in construction of
camps and environments for the army
during the war. The Council of Ma
tfonal Defense, in so far as it had to
deal with this constitutional work, also
will be criticized severely, it is said.
Many millions of dollars of Govern
ment funds were lost through the cost
plus system of letting contracts, ac-
cording to the findings Of the COM
mittee, which are being put into form
preparatory to presentation to the
House. In numerous instances the in

SIXTH OLIVE VICTIM DIES
Poisoned olives Said to Have Caused
Death of Several Persons
at Memphis.

Memphis; Tenn.-The han6 of death,
which has fallen so heavily upon the
family of Mr.. and Mrs. Max Vunkan-
non and Mrs. Vunkannon'S brother,
Uzell X. Ivy, as well as two others, as
the result of having eaten poisoned
olives, was felt again when Currie Ivy,
10 years old, succumbed. His death,
which came after a brief illness, was
the sixth to result from luncheon
served at the meeting of club women
at the Vunkannon home, but he may
not lie the last. His mother, Mrs. Uzell
Ivy, is lying at the point of death, suf-
fering from the same cause. The fifth
victim to succumb to the poisoning
was Max Vunka1non, Al years old,
husband of the hostess, who died. The
olives are said to have been bottled at
Los Angeles, Cal.

LOWER PRICES
EXPECTED SOON
UP OF CREDITS
BOUND TO RESULT IN
FALLING PRICES.
Europe Said To Be Restricting I'M
ports, Even Shipping Back Some
Goods Exported to That Country
Surplus Stocks in America Follow.

New York.-Broadly speaking, and
in a general sense, matters have been
badly mixed in the trade situation the
past week. However, it was far from
difficult to understand why there was
so much irregularity. 1t was plainly
evident that virtually all the depres-
sion emanated from Europe and all the
firmness of advances were wholly OF
domestic origin.
With a rising discount rate on COM
mercial paper and continuing drop
in foreign exchange, there looms ahead
a period of uneasiness for both domeS-
tic and overseas trade, the evidence
of which are becoming somewhat man
ifest. Carrying of surplus stocks OF
commodities is getting to be more eX-
Densive than it was, and an added ele-
ment of risk is attaching to purchases
for speculation at the present high lev
els Of prices.
The primary markets show no sign
of yielding on these prices, and jobbers
are apparently willing to take the FISK
of contracting quite far ahead, al
though the matter Of credit is hamper
ing the latter somewhat. But the re-
tailers, who are brought into immedi-
ate contact with the buying public, are
disposed to go rather slow for the pres
ent and take their chances of obtain
ing goods not Immediately needed
when they are wanted.
In this attitude they are rather en-
couraged by the belief that falling eX-
change will act as a deterrent to eX-
ports and thus leave larger supplies
available for the domestic market. The
European countries with which the
bulk of this cOuntry's export business
is done are frantically trying to get
their finances in order, and one means
to that end is the restriction of imports
from the United States to those which
are absolutely needed, and to skimp
even on these. Another is that they
are even shipping back here some
goods hitherto exported from this coun-
try. But falling prices are bound to
come with the deflation of credit, even
# they are not forced by the unwfll-
ingness of the ultimate consumer to
pay more constantly for what he is
buying. This is one of the contingent
cies that are now borne in mind.

Relief EFFORTS
ALMOST ENDED
AS STOCKS GROW IN HAMBUR0;
ILLICIT TRADE is TO BE
FOUGHT
Food Gradually Is Being Piled in
Hamburg Storehouses and When All
Of il Has Arrived Careful Distribu-
ton viii Be Begun.

Berlin.-The plans of Herbert G.
Hoover for alternating suffering in Po-
land, Czecho- SlOvakia, Austria and
Germany are nearing completion by
the constant arrival of ships at Ham
burg, bearing condensed milk, beans
and bacon, and, for Jewish beneficiar-
les, cotton-seed Oil instead of bacon.
The food gradually is being piled III
Hamburg storehouses and when all OF
it has arrived careful distribution to
avoid Illicit trade will be begun. Major
Alan G. Goldsmith, of Middletown,
Ohio, agent of the American Food Re
lief, who has been superintendent OF
operations in Hamburg, has returned to
Berlin to take control of transporta-
ton of the foodstuffs, being succeeded
in Hamburg by Francis G. Wickes, for
merly of the American Relief Commits
sion in Belgium. Czecho-Slovakia Will
be supplied direct by the Elbe River
from Hamburg to Aussig.
This route is slower but safer, in
view of the numerous railroad robber-
les in Germany and the crippled condl-
ton of railway traffic. Food for Aus
tria and Hungary will be sent on
guarded trains to Ratisbon, where 1t
will be transferred to barges for
transportation down the Danube. The
sea route from the United States will
keep Danzig and Poland supplied.
According to Major Goldsmith drafts
against the food stores already are
circulating in the United States in
multiples of $40.
AyailableFforms of subscriptions in
Guided $40 one for Christmas and
another Of the same amount for Jews,
and a $50 subscription for Christmas
and another for Jews. The first pro-
vides PAN pounds of wheat flour, 10
pounds of beans, pounds of bacon and
10 tins of condensed milk. For Jews
the provision is the same, except that
one gallon of cotton-seed oil is substl-
tuted for the bacon. The 500 sub
scription for Christmas includes l4O
pounds of wheat -four, so pounds OF
beans, Is pounds of bacon, 10 pounds
of lard, IL pounds of corned beef and
As tins of condensed milk. The same
subscription for Jews eliminates the
lard and bacon, but includes six gal
Ions of cotton-Seed oil.
Major Goldsmith said that these
were preliminary quantities and might
be changed by future prices and the
ability to obtain further supplies. All
the profits resulting from this opera
ton, he declared, would accrue to child
welfare work in the country to which
the packages were shipped. All Cen
trail European countries involved have
granted to these packages admission,
free of taxation, and they will have
preference in postal and freight facili-
ties. Major Goldsmith said that banks
of the United States would sell the
food drafts, certain banks already haV-
ing begun their sale.

LIVED LONG ON FRUGAL DIET
Ensishman Who Died in 1880 Proved
That 1t Was Possible to Exc
Out Existence cheaply.

Thomas f. CURLY, the champion
eater of Massachusetts, declared that
dyspepsia is the result of eating too
little, and not too much. His Sunday
dinner consisted of. thirteen Holsters,
sixty eggs and one hundred oysters.
AT the other end of the scale must be
placed old Roger Crab, the first vege-
tartan, who died September II, 1850,
after proving that man could live
on rs cents a year. Originally hab-
erdasher in big way of business at
Gresham, England, free liver and
drinker of strong ales, he got re-
ligion''-also dyspepsia-in middle life,
sold his stock, gave the proceeds to the
poor, and took to living in hut on
Understandings a week. Instead of
"strong drinks and wines," he says in
his autobiography, II give the old
mamie lived two centuries too soon
to call it Little Mary'-"a cup of
water; and, instead of roast mutton,
rabbit with bran, and pudding made
with bran and turnip-leaves chopped
together" And on this diet he lived to
a ripe old age, surviving repeated
cudgelings and imprisonment fol-
witchcraft.

PUT THEIR WITS TO WORK
Spanish Post Office Clerks Did Really
creditable Job in Solving Rebus
on Envelope.

curiously addressed letter passed
through the post office at Madrid,
which was deciphered and correctly
delivered, notwithstanding all difficult
ties, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The address was perfect rebus. AT
the left hand side was the figure of a
lady; it was clear, therefore, to which
sex the recipient should belong. Over
the lady's head the sun was rising;
hence her name was inferred to be
Aurora. For her surname stood hill,
with castle at its foot, which gives
us Monies y CASTILLO"
Next comes the town, for which the
plan of city was drawn, on which the
Alhambra was legible. This indicated
Granada; but in order to leave no
doubt possible. a pomegranate was
drawn beside the plan. To complete
the address a number was indicated In
one of the streets Of the city plan.
The postal authorities took three
days to study this curiosity and then
triumphantly delivered the letter to
"Senorita Aurora Monies CASTILLO,
Azacayas, No. 20. Granada" and so far
from censuring the sender, they had
the envelope photographed and copy
printed in the Madrid newspapers. as a
proof of the intelligence of the depart.

Youth and AGE.

Nobody. so far, has found real
substitute for youth, although some
surgical experiments are asserted to
have been successful in restoring
vitality and youthful spirits. Youth.
after all, is state of mind as we'll as
span of years. Men and women are
not old at sixty; they are not old at
seventy, and when eighty is reached
many of them refuse to be shelved.
Ones outlook upon life is likely to
determine whether one is to continue
real living or go TO seed. Years ago
men retired at forty or fifty and were
not worth much to their communities
after that. Now man stays in the
harness, alternating work and play.
So, in reality, he never grows old in
spirit regardless of an accumulation
of many years when birthdays come.
Old age is something of a habit. 1t is
easy enough to acquire if one seeks
it, but if youth is desired one may
have it, and forget about the BIRTH
days.

LINKS WITH HISTORIC PAST
Interesting to Trace the Names of
Streets and Lanes in City of
Boston Today.

The names Of the streets and lanes
of Boston are closely linked with the
historic past. Others there are which
could be connected with Boston only,
such as fremont street, corruption
of "Tri-mountain," by which name
Boston was known to the early set
tiers on account of the three high hills
that serve as a background to the pen
insula. This replaced the name
"Shawmut." given to it by the Indians.
Mary Harrod Northend writes in the
Century Magazine that the streets of
this quaint city in the East were laid
out by straying cattle.
After the Revolution the names of
many Boston streets were changed.
Queen street became Court street, and
King street the State street of today.
School street took its name from
school that was erected there. Dark
alleys, leading off the principal streets
on every side, were named after path
ways, usually depending on where they
led to. Creek lane originally led to the
old creek. 1t was in tavern days that
this was the center of stage-coach
life. The old custom house once stood
on Flag alley. Corn court took its
name from the fact that the corn mar
ket was at one time situated there.
Summer street was once know as "Sev-
ell Star Lane" 1t is now one of Bos-
toms busiest streets.

ACCORDING TO FIXED DESIGN
Variety of Reasons Advanced for the
Arrangement Of Paint on the
Cheeks of Clown.

All pantomime, clowns paint their
cheeks and mostly they do so accord
ing to certain designs handed down
from generation to generation. But
as to the why and the wherefore opin-
ions differ.
According to one authority the scar
let triangles, red fishtail and half
moon, originated from dabs of YER
million placed here and there on the
cheeks at haphazard to represent
naughty boy who had been at the jam
pot
Another says that the pantomime
clowns REDEEMED face is intended as
burlesque of the rouge-tinted cheeks
of the pantomime Columbine; while
vet a third has it that the crimson
patches are survival from the early
mystery plays, when the clown was
demon, and red all over.
The theory has also been held that
the modern clown in pantomime is a
direct descendant of Menus, the god
of mockery of the early mystery plays
and Mosques, who was always repre-
sented with huge gaping mouth. The
red fshtail is merely the survival of
that part of the medieval makeup
which aimed at producing an appar-
ent enlargement of the mouth.
These curious scarlet symbols are
only found on the cheeks of panto-
mime clowns. The ordinary circus
clown does not paint his cheeks.
He paints only his nose, with view
to poking fun at the "boss," the ring
master, whose nasal organ. in regard
to the old-time circuses at all events,
was more often than not apt to be
highly colored.-Pearson's Weekly.
