Dual Roll for Love.

The plot carries rather interesting

sole purpose Of breaking of the

But in the end love triumphs and The
younger writer wins the girl.

PRINCIPLES LAID
DOWN BY COLBY
MAY BE ACCEPTED

Washington, Nov. 27.-Fear of re-
prisals by the United States is ex-
pected to induce Great Britain to ac-
cept the principles laid down in Sec
retary Colby's note demanding equal
participation in oil fields and other
fields of enterprise in mandate ter
ritories it was learned officially today.
The oil-leasing act passed by con-
gress and forbidding the entrance of
foreigners into American oil fields
unless Americans are given the same
privilege in territory controlled by
foreign nations, gives the United
States decided whip land in the con-
troversy. More British capital than
that of any, other foreign nation is
now invested in American fields, one
company obtaining At per cent of it's
production from this source.
1t is learned that in addition to
sending the formal note Secretary
Colby made sure that the term of this
law were called to the attention of the
British government.
These developments became known
following visit by Sir Auckland Ged-
des, the British ambassador, to the
the state department. this afternoon.
The ambassador was in conference
with Secretary Colby for two hours
but declined to make a statement as
to the reason for his visit. l. was
generally understood, however, that
it had to do with the Colby note.
If Great Britain yields on the point
of equal opportunity in mandate ter.
ritory for all nations it is probable
she will yield also on the other point
insisted upon by Secretary Colby,
that the United States be made &C.
quainted with the provisions of all
submitted to the league of nations.
Numerous reasons exist as to why
Great Britain would be unwilling to
permit such demand as this to dis
turb the harmonious relations be-
tween the two countries, although it
strikes at the very heart of the old
world practice of making territorial
distributions by secret agreement.

meet with an accident before long.
Picking up a pin. he says is a
thrifty habit, and the man who picks
it up is both saving and observant,
and so likely to have success in what
ever he does.
AS for the innocent two-dollar bill,
it got its reputation when some care
less shopper first handed it. out by
mistake for a one dollar bill and
didn't get the right change. And the
poor two-dollar bill, that really is as
nice as any of the Long Green family
has been regarded with a cold and
suspicious eye.
The bride who drops her ring
shows she is either careless or indif-
ferent to her husband, says the
philosopher, so can you wonder that
their married life isn't going to be
smooth?
And here the musty old handler out
of information leaves us with some
thing to think about.
"The custom of the wedding ring,
now that we are on the subject" he
tells US with his dryest smile, "dates
back to the savage tribes. This, one
of our most respected customs, had
its origin, too, in one of the early
superstitious rites"

COLLAPSE OF WHEAT
DOES NOT MENACE
PRICE OF BREAD
Some Men Who Claim to Know Say
The Price Will Go Back To
The 1919 Level

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Pessimists can
take comfort. Collapse of the wheat
market does not menace the nations
supply Of bread.
There is plenty of wheat to feed
US. Not a tremendous oversupply nor
a tremendous shortage.
The farmer, raging against the
low price he had to take for h1ss
wheat the past few months, is not
going to inflict the reprisal Of not
growing wheat. He is not going to
carry his recent 'strike"-holding
back wheat shipments for So btu
shel-to the length of going out Of
business.
These reassuring words are a d.
gest of the opinons of grain brokers
wheat growers, millers, railroad men
and wheat experts generally, OBJ
tanned in a survey Of the situation.
Readjustment is coming, they say,
Everyone, with single exception,
predicts an increase in the price of
wheat. Conservative ones do not
look for a return of "war prices"
but an increase sufficient to satisfy
the farmer.
The one exception is a well-known
grain broker who thinks wheat
prices will stay under 81 bushel.
Peak wheat prices were 1928 a
bushel. The government wartime
guarantee was $2.26. Wheat recent
ly dropped to s1.75. Before the
war it was 80 cents. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture thinks, with
present labor conditions, the farmer
should get s2.e5 to make fair
profit. :. -.

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR
K AMERICA DEMANDED
OF GREAT BRITAIN
Washington Insists Upon Equal
Rights For All Nations In
Territories Placed Under
British Rule by Mandates

British Rule by Mandates
Washington, Nov. 27.-Frank rep
resentation to the British govern
ment that the United States will in
sist upon strict application Of the
principle of equal opportunity and
treatment for all nations in terri
tories placed under the British or
other mandate by the peace treaties
was conveyed in note by Secretary
Colby to Earl Curzon, the British
secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, made public here following
it's delivery to the British govern
ment early this week. =.
Discussing specifically the ques-
ton of the British mandate in Meso-
potamia, Secretary Colby's note,
which was in reply to an unpublish-
ed British note of last August 9, de-
clared the American government
sfinds difficulty in reconciling" the
assurances of equal treatment for
all nations in British mandates given
therein with the special agreement
between France and Great Britain
regarding the petroleum resources
of Mesopotamia. Secretary Colby,
urginb fullest publicity for all pro-
posed mandate agreements and
treaties, asserted the right of the
United Statest and all the associated
powers regardless of whether they
are members of the League Of Ma
tions, to consider. such agreements
and to "ful participation in the
rights and privileges secured under
mandates provided in the peace
treaties"

By Captain G. r. g.. Fisher.
The bones which break most fire.
q~uently are the lower jaw, collar bone,
ribs and those Of upper or lower limbs.
Great care must be taken in handling
fractures, as it is quite easy to turn
a simple" fracture into a compound
fracture, and utmost tenderness must
be exercised in removing clothing or
shoes, where that is necessary.
Jaw-Always examine teeth on side
where the pain is. If teeth are irregu-
lar or gum is bleeding, the evidence
of fracture is clear, so place the lower
teeth against upper, get someone 30
hold in place, and take a narrow scarf,
catch under jaw and carry one end
over top Of head, cross at temple above
ear. and carry one around forehead
and other around nape of neck and
tie ends on opposite temple.
Collar Bone Always run fingers
over both collar bones, and if broke
the comparison will usually reveal a
lump on the injured side. Make a.
large pad of some article, a scarf, cap
or paper, place under armpit On IN
jured side, gently press arm into side,
and carry forearm over chest upwards
inclined. Make a wide scarf with tr.-
angular bandage, carry owe forearm
and hand, bring round over arm ut
side and tie tight behind.
Ribs-A fracture of these is most
distressing, and usually causes one to
faint, the pain being due to the motion
of lungs in breathing, and consequent
ly the injured person tries not to
breathe. The distress is shown Oh
face plainly. Take a towel, reach.ng
from the armpit to waist, and lon1
enough to encircle body; lay injured
on back and two persons with strong,
steady hands pull tight until the pa

with safety pins or stitch with thread)
Alphabetically place against side
with forearm cro chest, and fastcn
with wide triangular scarf the width
of limb, on opposite side.
Forearm-Fold several newspapers
the length of limb and secure same
thereby with strips of tape or string
tied around, and place in large arm
sling.
Fingers, hand or wrist as above.
Leg-Use splints on each side of

TO heel; boards or folded blanket will
do.
kneecap-Splint on back of leg
from middle of thigh and lower part
of leg and fasten above and below
