SCHLESWIG MAY BE
 GIVEN TO DENMARK
National Sentiment and Economic
 Results Are Principal Issues

F'Iensburg. March 9.-Whether the second zone of schleswig, as marked off by the peace conference, is to remain under German domina- ton or revert to Denmark, will be- cided by a plebscitc on March 15.
 Dr. Adolph Rooster, Germany's of hcla1 representative here in connec- ton with the plebiscite. appears to be pessin1istic over it's outcome. The economic factors of the question, he says so outweigh the real issue of national sentiment that a true ex- pression of the voters cannot be ob- tained.
 Nevertheless, other Germans are putting great stress upon these eco homie considerations. They argue that, Germany SefTers a better market for SchlesWig than does Denmark and that it also would provide a bet ter source of supply for Schleswig's industrial and agricultural needs.
 Ships are Flensburg's most impor- tant interest. Some Danes expect that if the second zone becomes Dan- sh, the Allies will return to Flens- burg shipowners the vessels they
 
 mans declare that, if Flensburg be added to Denmark, it will mean the ruin of it's shipbuilding industry ow- ing to the high price for coal in Den mark as compared to the cost for German coal.
 One of the most important factors in the plebiscite is the assurance by Danish officials that if the zone be- comes Danish the Germans resident in it become Danish citizens and probably exempt from payment of their share of the German repara- tion to the Allies. It also has been stated that property in this zone would be worth several times as muct in Danish crowns as in depre- ciatcd German marks. For these reasons, business men here have de- clared that the plebiscite in the Flensburg zone offers the greatest bribe to voters the world has ever known.

Whooping cough is the "mean- ! est'' disease that childhood is heir to. While rarely, fatal in itself,, except to children under two years of age, still it hangs on so long-the coughing paroxysrns are so violent, preventing proper sleep and digestion-that when the disease does. disappear it leaves the child weakened and run down. In addition the violent coughing racks and strains the air passages and after re- covery this irritation frequently remains.
 During this period of conva1- essence the child should be most carefully watched until full strength is restored and the air spassages regain their normal tone. "A prominent authority even goes so far as to say-'There is more criminal neglect in connection with whooping cough than with any other disease"
 While tire disease is active, Vick's S VapoRub usually helps to lessen the violence of the cough "ing, but it is during conva1- essence that Vicks Is most val table.

HOLD UP SHIP
Steamer Carrying American Red
 ian Bandits With Machine Guns.

London, March 19.-The palatial steamer Skodra, flying the French flag and carrying American Red Cross supplies for Montenegro, was held up by bandits this week while en route up the Bojana rlver and one of the sailors was wounded.
 The ship had just reached 9, bend in the river when the bandits ap- peared with machine guns and began to em bark a boarding party ill small boats. The captain received permis- sion to turn about, in order to secure better anchorage, but when he had fully turned he ordered all steam ahead and set down the. river. The bandits imme ediately opened fire and riddled the sides and upper deck of the ship with machine gun bullets.

 Scuts,ri. Alba nia. March 19.--The London house which w. k. Wander bi1t gave to his daughter, Consuela. as a wedding. gift when she became Duchess, of Marlborough, has become the home of the British branch of the League Of Nations. The government has leased the mansion and official business already is being transacted there.
 This house, which is situated in tnc heart of the fashionable section in Curzon street. is one of the most tostty in the city. It is built of mar hle and other stone iii the French more like bank than q residepce.
 It is understood that the League of Nations officials and employees are having troubles. despite the magniti- cence of their surroundings. The great and ornate Ballroom, for eX- ample. while much admired from ;tn artistic point of view, develops cy- clonic draughts which cause much discomfort to the Gnlucky officials and clerks who are stationed in it.
 In addition to this house, the League of Nations has also taken two other buildings in Piccadilly, since they reeded more accommodations than the home of the duchess pro- Tided.

Turning on the water, he hobbled toward
the room. from which the smoke was now
pouring. Fortunately, il was the sitting
room, and fronted the street.
Lawrence got quickly to the door.
Though the chamber was full of smoke,
he saw that the curtains at the window
were flaming brightly and that the chair
in the corner had begun TO burn. The
carpet was Just beginning to catch, but
the sofa was a big blaze. The hot air

it was too late. 1t was not needed. The

DOES REGULARITY PAY?

There is always the temptation when
YOU are doing your own work, TO get out
Of the habit of having regular days for
doing the various tasks OF your house
work. It is simple enough TO have
Monday washday and Tuesday ironing
day when you have a wash woman en-
gagged to come on those days, and with
maid there is no temptation to get out of
the habit Of having a Friday cleaning day.
But when you are doing it all yourself,
and hundreds and hundreds of women
who have never thought OF keeping
maidless house are doing all their own
housework nowadays, there Is always
that temptation to vary from the regular
system. Monday looks cloudy and so
you don't get to the washing. 1t clears up
later but by that time you have begun
some canning. Tuesday it rains in good
earnest so it is Wednesday before you
get to the washing. Friday you are just
going tostart in sweeping when friend
telephones and suggests shopping trip.
You hope to be back in time to do little
cleaning in the afternoon but your friend
persuades YOU to have luncheon down
town and then a motion picture tempts
YOU to linger. And so it goes. You are
YOUR own mistress and in a way you have
a right to dispose of your time as it suits
you. But the house that does not have
some plan for a days work always runs
along with friction.
This does not mean that for very good
reason you should not alter your schedule,
nor does it mean that you should always
have a Monday wash day, a Tuesday
ironing day and Friday cleaning day.
If in your household you find that it is
easier to clean on Saturday or to was h
on Tuesday, then emphatically rearrange
your schedule accordingly.
