Argentina, was so angry that he went
home.
"You remember. children, that Pres
ident Wilson said that the heart Of
the world club plan was the paragraph
that says every member shall protect
the territory of every other member
The fight against that provision, more
than any other was what defeated the
plan in the United States, and it is
against that very provision that the
members at Geneva were loudest in
complaint. Denmark said she would
not send an army for such a purpose
unless her parliament expressly gave
permission. and it is certain that the
paragraph can never be enforced in
the way President Wilson wanted it.
There is one thing however, that
all the forty or more members of the
World Club were agreed on, And that
was that the United States should be-
come member OF the Club, and, as
one man expressed it, make the ghost
walk In plain language that means
that they want this country to come
in and put up the money and the men
that will give force to the decisions of
the Club, But even if they cannot per-
suade the United States to become a
real member they see a way to draw
upon our national prestige and wealth.
One day the meeting stopped its quar-
reling and every member voted to send
an invitation to President Wilson to
become the judge in the dispute be-
tween Armenia, the Turks, and the
bloody Bolsheviks.
Although for years and years the
poor Armenians have been abused by
the Turks and many thousands of
them killed, none of the members of
the Club cared to protect them-that
is do the very thing that they agreed
to do when the signed the club plan
so they tried to unload the job onto
the United States Mr. Wilson accept
ed the invitation. and now the mem
bers are telling each other that it real
" means that the United States is to
take charge of the Armenian question
hereafter. Well, they are likely to
have their eyes opened if they think
Congress is going to send any money or
soldiers to that far off land
Nov, children, this has been a dis
agreeable story, but I hope it will not
make you have any bad dreams. 1t is
quite impossible to tell anything about
the World Club and its doings with
out leaving a bad taste in the mouth
and mighty poor opinion of the world
in general. 1t is certainly dishearten-
ing to see most of the nations of the
world assembled together in one meet
ing, each loudly protesting that it
wants to see peace in the world for
ever after and vet. secretly determined
not to do anything to bring peace
about that will interfere at all with its
own welfare There is a bright spot,
however, when we see our own coun-
try free from it all The Republicans
of our Senate had the courage to tell
the world openly that their first con-
Germ was for their own country and
they would enter no club that would
interfere with that duty"

her fingers were always without
rings" Another contemporary and
friend says that the only bit of
coquetry he ever saw in Rosa Bon
heur was her pride in her beautiful
hands.
Queen Elizabeth, whose beautiful
hands were her only really beauti-
full feature, though she insisted on
flattery to the point where she
must almost have believed herself
beautiful, made it a habit to play
with the rings that she wore pro-
fusely on her graceful long fingers,
realizing that in this way she would
focus the attention of others upon
her hands.
Her much hated rival, whom she
later beheaded, was in many other
ways beautiful, but she, too, had
charming hands. This was Mary,
Queen of Scots. Ronsard speaks
of her hand as 'votre Tongue ct
gresle ct delicate main" C"your
long and slender and graceful
hand"). They We're extremely ca
pable hands, too. and she was skill
ed at all sorts of needlework and
at playing the lutte, occupations
which doubtless showed off those
beautiful hands even better than
her cousin Elizabeth's device of
playing with her rings.

COMPETITION AND pRoFITEERING FOLLOW
SHORTAGE.

Here ia official light on the sugar situation:
More sugar than before is coming into the
country, nine hundred million pounds being the esti-
mate for the year to end with June. In 1919 the
quantity a half million less. But
there is less coming from foreign lands exclusive of
our island possessions, Sugar producing countries
are short Of supplies, because of years of war,
and the world is buying at increased prices
The City National Bank of New York, after
thorough investigation, places the decrease of pro-
auction the world fifteen per below that
OF the year preceding the war, But for the great
increase in Cuba and neghboring islands the short
age would be much less. Europe which makes beet
sugar principally, has decreased two-thirds in pro-
duction.
The United States, exclusive Of her islands, made
no Increase her output for the current sugar year
seems likely to stand at only about 100000 tons
against $4,000 in the pre-war year. ,--... .
Thus it will be seen that this country has less
domestic sugar for home use, less 10 export, and
is bidding against the other nations for such as
we must bring in, even from our islands. And that
refiners wholesalers and beet sugar mills are in
position TO demand what they will make usual
profits and then take more while the taking is good
seems to be undeniable. The iobbers and the re-
tailers must pay what is asked. And it is within
their power TO initiate the price TO- consumers so
long as the people will buy and waste.
For such foreign sugars coming 10 this
country, importers were having to pay in January
last 1902 cents per pound The government an
nounces the figures and shows that in the year be-
fore the war began importers brought in sugar at
an, average cost of two cents year ago the price
had climbed 10 sac. ..
The import price for foreign sugar in January
1890, was, therefore just five times as much per
pound as in the fiscal year preceding the These
valuations of the merchandise imported are, by law
the actual market value at wholesale price at the
of expectation to the United States in the prn-
eipal markets of the country from whence exported"
or the actual price at which sold by the exporter
From value of ten cents when imported in Jan
uary to retail price Of 25 cents in April for cane
sugar is a long jumper even after refining charges
and handling by middlemen are considered.
The sudden leap of the comparatively cheaper
beet sugar in the West is presumed to be merely
case OF pumping to keep pace with the seaboard
price of sugar.

there is involved in the story and
attack the question OF law enforce
ment must ask you to kindly give

law, which is chapter 10 of The
laws of 1917, that it is not a viola
ton of law for any number of DCr-
sons TO set i'm and play at any
games of chance, but that the law
is violated only Quoting the words

games of chance or who

REDEENIING HANDS.

Margaret Fuller, Countess Ossoli,
famous New England writer who
married an Italian nobleman, was
just one of the several women of
letters who was accused of making
the most of her hands, and per-
haps this is because the beauty of
the mind of u woman of artistic or
literary talents is more apt to re-
veal itself in the hands than in the
facial features.
Ill-natured acquaintances of Ma
dame de Stael said spitefui things
because she, too, made the most of
her beautiful hands, and it is said
that the reason she made a prac-
tice of toying with poplar twig
was in order to set off these charm
ing members. But can you blame
her? she was anything but hand
some, and without the eXtraordi-
nary depth and brilliancy of her
eyes she would have been a plain
if not ugly woman. Her nose and
mouth We're homeIy and only re-
