NATION LEAGUE
 TO BE ASKED TO
 SETTLEDISPUTE

ciated Press) The famous Tacna and Africa dispute problem involving Chile, Peru and Bolivia, is not the only South American problem which may go before the League of Nations for settlement. There has existed for years a controversy between Para quay and Bolivia over strip of ter ritory in the heart of South Amer ica as big as the state of California. This, it is understood, is on the pro- gram for consideration by the league.
 It is probably not generally known that when the American peace ex- perts under Colonel House collected their data on world problems for use at the Paris peace conference, they included a report on the issues between Boliva and Paraguay over the possession of this territory, which is called on Bolivian maps the Bolivian Chaco and on Paraguayan maps the Paraguayan Chaco.
 The case of the Chaco is known to have been brought before the confer ence by the Bolivian peace delegate, Senator Montes It was decided, it is understood here, to postpone the ques- tion for early settlement by the league
 These problems hold for Bolivia, hemmed in on all sides by other states, the realization of her great est political and commercial ambi- tion, her own territorial outlet to the sea. Possession of the port of Africa would give her an outlet to the Paci- fic, and, curious as it may seem, pos session of the Chaco, or at least part of it, would give her egress to the Atlantic. For the Chaco borders the great River Paraguay, affluent of the River Plate, and on the Chaco side of the river, 2,O00 miles from Buenos Aires, is little port called Bahia Negra Here ocean steamships from the United States and Europe could take on cargo transported across the northern edge of the Chaco from the Bolivar mines and farms.
 But in the year 1886, few years after Bolivia had lost in war the Paci- fife port of Antofagasta and was turn ing her eyes eastward, Bahia Negra was seized by Paraguay and has been in her possession ever since. Para :. quay, furthermore, made land allot- )ments in the Chaco, whose unsurpass- ed pasture and great quebracho for ests were beginning to attract the white man. A mysterious, unexplored land, stretching northward from the Pilcomayo river on the Argentine bor- der and westward from the River Par aguay into undisputed Bolivian ter ritory, it has not been directly crossed by white men since the days of the Spanish conquerors, since the year 154S to be exact. Except near the rivers, it is inhabited only by savage Indian tribes to this day, but both nations looked forward to it's possibil- ities, which recently have included that of finding petroleum.
 Bolivia protested the seizure of Bahia Negra, moving down from the | Bolivar city of Santa Cruz by mule team, along the northern edge of the ChacO, as it still does.
 To uphold their claims both gov ernments unearthed musty archives in Madrid dealing with the expedi- tions of the Spanish coneuerors and the land grants of the Spanish crown in South America Various diplomat 1c negotiations have been initiated between the two governments from

most formidable when you are
bride whose chief concern hereto
fore has been the purchase of becom-
ing hats and frocks. There are so
many things you will need that it
is hard to know just where to begin
making out list. 1t is very much
easier to use list already made
out, and I know just where you can
obtain one. The housefurnishing
store of J. Franklin Miller, 1912
Chestnut Street, has prepared such
list, which they will forward to
any one requesting it. You can
check off the things you will need
and I can assure that you'll not find
yourself in the embarrassing posi-
ton of the bride who fried bacon
on her new waffle iron because she
had forgotten to buy frying pan.

r EWELS seem truly the most
a fitting Of graduation gifts, for
they will remind their wearer Of
the donor long after the happy oc-
casion Of her commencement. A
ring set with Polished Girdle Dia-
mond is most beautiful and appro-
pirate, and bar pins are always in
good taste. An exquisite bar pin Of
gold is set with diamond and two
sapphires and platinum-faced pin
of rarely beautiful design - has
three diamonds. Another gift GER
tain of appreciation is a flexible
bracelet Of diamonds, sapphires and
diamonds, rubies and diamonds, or
emeralds and diamonds. A gift Of
this kind is a wise choice not only
for the immediate pleasure which its
possession brings, but for its in
vestment value, for precious stones
advance each year in value.

to buy them-that is, if you are
looking for something that is a bit
out of the ordinary in style.
