LEAGUE. OF NATIONS
 ESTABLISHES HOME
Housed Not Far From American Em- bassy in Paris. Starts Task ,O- Organization.

Paris. Jan. 19.-The league of na- tions is housed not far from the Am erican embassy in Rue Pauquet where a considerable staff has been at work since the league entered into being officially three days ago. Its work, however, still confined to orSaniZa- . ton as the only act of the league council at its first meeting was to ap- point members of the Sarre valley boundary commission which is not under the leagues control.
 While the council appointed three members of the commission it is uh- derstood that by q strict interpreta- ton of the Versailles treaty the conl- mission will be under the direct su- pervision of the Paiap which is an abbreviation used by the leagues staff to designate the principal allied and associated powers
 It is expected the leag gue will take jurisdiction over the Sarre region only when an administrative mission has been organized. In the meantime, |. the league staff will return to London leaving probably on Wednesday,. The quarters in Rue Pauquet will be re- tained, however, as the permanent home of the league council. when it meets here.

Love Dreamer Sues Her Knight
 for $25O.OOO
 New York. Jan. 19.--When Elsie Eleanor Waldo. beautiful and auburn haired. dreamed her dream of love il was this kind of a dream:
 ''There isn't girl living that doesn't want her knight to scale her castle walls ana carry her off on a charger. willy-nilly.'
 That's how she wrote it all down in "Wallfiowers, her novel, at any rate

 "Wallhowers'' didn't transplant into the garden of real life worth a cent. In 1905. when Miss Waldo was 20, she  papers filed by Miss Waldu's attorneys in the county clerks office say. It is set forth that Brown is a nephew of former United States District Atty. Addison Brown. This is loves time table from that point on:
 Loves Time Table.
 In 1907 Brown asked permission to make regular calls for the purpose of proving his affection.
 In 1908 he asked Miss Waldo to become Mrs. Brown and set Decem- Der, 1909, as the wedding date.
 In 1909 he asked for a postpone ment uf the wedding.
 In 1910 postponement for another year was asked by Brown.
 Tn 1911 another year was asked for.
 In December, 1912, a fourth post ponement was begged for. with promise that it should be the last.

BREAD GOES UP BUT
 PASTRY IS THE SAME
New Prices On Staff of Life Enccti, e Tolay-If Flour Goes Higher.
 Cakes Will. Too.

Beginning today the thrifty house. wife had to pay the baker another increase in price of bread. The bakers announced last week that be2inninS today the 10-cent loaf would be in- creased to r cents and the 1J-cent loaf to IS cents. This action was made necessary, they declare due to the increased cost of flour which has now reached %17 a barrel. One of the leading bakers stated today that he could not get more than 900 loaveS from .t barrel winch. when sold in $36. Of this amount one-haIf represents the original cost of the flour, the balance of SIS representing the overhead and the profit. The bakers. in increasing their prices, have acted independent of one anoth- er. but all are agreed hat their step was necessary.
 President Hallinal' of the Bakers association was asked today if there was any possibility of an immediate increase in the price of pastry. He replied that he did not think that there would be i,n increase right away unless flour took another jump in price. Sugar has gone up to pear ly IS cents wholesale. but as vet no increase will be made in pastry on this account. MT. Hallinan would not Vouch for future prices on ac- count of the uncertainty of the flour market which, he stated, is likely. to go higher. -~s--r-s 5t...-. -.+ b.. s.r

ATOMIC ENERGY MAY
 BE HARNESSED SOON
Sir Oliver Lodge Expects Science to Make Revolutionary Discovery
 Most Any Time.

London, Jan. 19.-Sir Oliver Lodge told the Royal Society of Arts re- gently that if men were capable of harnessing all the atomic energy in a small piece of chalk, or any other matter of d similar size. they would have enough power to raise 100000 tons to a. height of 5000 feet
 Up to the present, he Said, they had not succeeded in making use of tha: power but were on the verge of doing it. In the wireless telephone was the first step in that direction. There the particles given off by 8 wire cleo tI'ically heated to whiteness were en- plCyed to break the circuit So sen sltlVe and prompt were the particles to respond to the electrical stimulus that one could send words at the rate of 300 a minute by the Morse code By no. ordinary mechanical means could this be accomplished.
 Among other possible sources of energy, said Sir Oliver, was the ether. and he warned his auditors not to dis regard it because it was as real a thing as anything. Plants had found out how to use it without first turning their methods.
 Other possible sources of energy were the tides and the waves. With the former nothing could yet be hnnc on account of the vast areas required to form reservoirs. The land so GOV cred would be of much more value if reclaimed and used for agriculture. He preferred to consider the possi- bility of utilizing the waves if any thing were going to be done in that direction.
