London, Feb. 1S.-Most of yester-
day's session of the House of Commons
was occupied in discussion of the motion
nf William James Thorne, labor member
for West Ham, in favor of revision of
the peace treaty, which he subjected to
severe criticism The most interesting
suggestion emanated from Lord Robert
Cecil that the League of Nations should
send two international commissions TO
Russia to ascertain the exact conditions
and to fix the provisional boundaries of
the border States.
Arthur J. Balfour, Lord President of
the Council, who made general defense
If the treaty and the governments s
share therein, said be feared Lord Roberts
suggestion would not result in a new
heaven on earth in Russia. He also
denied that the government was encour-
aging Poland in policy of adventure:
The motion of Thorne was rejected

He brought out the mules, af- ter being kicked severely, and the horse. As he did not appear again, his wife became alarmed and tele- phoned for help. Howard Bligh. Ben Robbins and William Parizek respond ed, but the storm was so violent it was all they could do to reach the farm. They found MT. Reed in water to his shoulders. holding on to the stanchions, speeches. and nearly un- conscious. He was carried to the house and the doctor on his arrival said if he had remained ten minutes longer in the water he would not have recovered. Mir. Reed is 73 years old.

VANILLA WATERS

Sisters of the Social Corner: In case you want something little extra for an afternoon tea, please try the fol- lowing:
 Vanilla Wafers-One-ha half cup but ter creamed till very light; add grad ually one cup powdered sugar, cream ing them together. Add two teaspoons vanilla and one-half cup milk; add two cups of pastry flour alternately. beating vigorously for a minute or two. Spread thinly on the inverted bottoms of baking pans which have been creased with melted butter and are quite cold. Crease with a knife into three-inch squares. Bake in a mcderate oven until a delicate brown TE1s recipe sounds fussy. but the wafers will amply repay one for her trouble, in case they turn out well.
