PUT MUCH FAITH IN AC0Rl
In England It Is Looked Upon a
Protector Against Lightning, and
as Love Charm.

From Druidical times the acorn has
been held to be sure protection
against lightning, as the tops Of many
flagstaffs, the end of cOrnice poles
umbrella tassels and blindcOrds still
attest. Even to this day, In English
rural districts, when thunderstorm
threatens, farm-laborers and Others
will HE them to the nearest oak tree
gather an acorn and carry it about
with them till the sky clears. In many
parts of Great Britain a girl Tilted by
her lover will seek by the light of the
moon for a dried acorn beneath an
oak tree. This she will burn at mid
night in a candle flame, reciting mean
while the following doggerel: otis moi
this acorn l would burn, but my true
loves heart that l would turn. May
he no joy nor profit see, till he comes
back again to me-" Welsh peasants
hold that to plant an acorn brings
lifelong good luck a simple way, one
would imagine, to insure ones future
success. The resultant sapling, how
ever, must on no account be trans
planted. If this is d0ne, most terrible
things are bound to happen.

MAKING SPACE IN KITCHEN
ingenious Arrangement of Requisite
Furnishings Does Away With
Necessity for Large Room.

In these days when rents are so
high people are commonly obliged to
economize space as much as possible,
the family kitchen may be no more
than a closet ingeniously fitted with a
gas range and other essentials.
Couches convertible into beds and 9th
er clever cOntrivances useful for more
than one purpose are at a premium.
The newest invention in this line, pat
ented by a resident of South Chi
cago is an arrangement whereby
chairs, when not in use, may be fold
ed and slowed beneath table. Each
chair, attached by bracket to the
inner side of a table may be slid
out on a rod to a comfortable sitting
distance, slot in the rod enabling this
to be done, whereupOn thumbscrew
makes it fast. When it is desired to
get the chair out of the way, it's back
is folded down, the screw is loosened
and the chair, after being slid inward
along the slot, is turned bodily over,
the rod being pivoted at the bracket.
This accomplished lit takes but mo-

meath the table facing the opposite
way. A reversal of the process brings

WAR RISK INSURANCE PROBLEM
FAR MORE NECESSARY TO
Ex-SERVICE MEN.
MANY DROP WAR RISK
THE BONUS MEASURE HAS MET
MUCH OPPOSITION FROM
BOTH SIDES.

Washington Representative Joseph
". Fordney, chairman of the House
committee on ways and means, has in
timated that a bonus bill for the
benefit of veterans of the World war
will be passed by Congress In the near
future The near future may mean
early next winter, but whenever it is,
a powerful promise that it should be
passed has been made.
Today, as yesterday, there are
thousands of veterans who are not
keen about bonus legislation, and there
are hundreds of thousands and per
haps millions of the always-civilian
brethren who strongly, but perhaps not
bitterly, are opposed to the legisla-
ton. There are a good many Legion
men who stand in opposition. There
is u perfect willingness, however, to
predict that bonus legislation eventu-
ally will be sanctioned and that Presi-
dent Harding will give it his approval
There is one matter today connected
with the relief of the veterans which
is perhaps of more Importance to some
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
men than bonus legislation. Elders of
the service, active and retired, rapid
ly are dropping their war risk insur-
ance because there is no future in it,
provided they live for another four
years. The elder men who took out
war risk insurance are penalized be-
cause of their age, and some of them,
those who came into the service from
civil life, are paying the penalty of
having volunteered to serve their
country at an advanced age.
The war risk insurance of the gov
ernment is supposed in a large meas
ure to take the place of the pension
ing system. One man said: Il know
my own case better than / know 9th
ers and this must be the excuse for
introducing it. If l convert my insur-
ance it will cost me 500 year. The
cost under present uncOnverted cOndi
tions is not prohibitive but l can carry
the policy only for four years and then
if l should happen to be alive, il
lapses and there is no provision by
which any payment can be made to
me or to my beneficiaries In the flu
ture." The young man profits and the
middle.aged and elderly men lose.
1t may be that there will be some
Legislation on this subject but the aid
of the veterans organization is needed
IN this matter as it is in the bonus
matter and perhaps more sharply.

Reginald McKenna former chancellor
of the eXchequer and the leading finan-
cier of Great Britain. Mr.. McKenna
was the guest of honor at dinner
given by the Chicago Commercial
club and delivered an address that
has aroused widespread comment.
Briefly, he advocated the cancellation
of all war debts between nations as
the only remedy for the economic dis
tress of the world. Debtor nations,
he said, have no alternative but to at
tempt to square their obligations by
flooding the markets of their creditors
with goods. Great Britain and the
United States, he said, have war debts
owing them of approximately equal
size-about $1O,OOOO0O and his in
ference was that if cancellation of the
debts was fair for one, it was fair
for the other Some American finan-
ciers in commenting on Mr.. McKenna's s
views agreed with him in the main,
but others asserted that the~plan as
political proposal was impossible at
this time and would not be entertained
by the American people. They did not
fail to point out that, while the United
States derived no material benefit
from the war, Great Britain not only
obtained vast territories but also in
sured her naval and merchant suprem-
acy by the destruction of the German
fleets.

OF course 1.-The woman did 1t" That
is to say, former Empress Zita is
blamed as the moving spirit in her
husbands second futile attempt to re-
gain the throne of Hungary. 1t was
spectacular, and interesting while 1t
lasted, and for short time there was
some chance for its success. Karl
and Zita flew across Austria in an air
plane. landed in Burgenland and sum-
moned the faithful. The royalists,
headed by Count Andrassy and Rakov-
sky, who abandoned his office as
premier, flocked to Karl's support and
proclaimed him king, and he and Zita
declared their venture must terminate
in victory or death. Well, 1t was not
victory, and it was, as usual, death
only for the poor misguided soldiers
who fought in their behalf. Regent
Horthy sent all available troops out
to meet the royalists as they advanced
on Budapest, and after battle at
Tota Tovaros, in which several hun
dreds were killed. Karl and Zita, to-
gether with Rakovsky, Andrassy,
Prince Windisch-G -Graetz and the other
leaders, were taken prisoners near
Komorn. The eX-rOyal couple were
interned in an ancient Benedlctine
abbey at Tihany and the others were
locked up to await trial and punish
ment.
AS soon as Karl landed in Hungary
the members of the little entente, es-
pecially Czechoslovakia, began mobil-
izing to frustrate his plan, and the
greater allied powers also were ac-
tive in other ways. But Horthy at
tended to the attempted coup without
their aid. The little entente, however,
has demanded that Hungary pay the
cost of mobilization and give guaran-
tees of the disarmament of Hungary,
and also it requires that Karl be sur
rendered to 1t or to the allies. What
disposal to make of the troublesome
couple Is worrying the powers A
suggestion that they be eXlled on
some remote island has been rejected
as giving them too much Importance.
Switzerland says they cannot return
there, and Spain has not offered to
take care of them.
Regent Horthy ANNOUNCED he would
soon convoke the assembly for the
purpose Of electing king of Hun
gary, and it was believed that he him
self stood n good chance of being
chosen for the position.

Doctor Wirth and the rest of the
German ministry resigned, as was
foreseen, because of the partition of
Upper Silesia. But at the urgent re-
quest of President Ebert the chancel-
lor retained his position and selected
new cabinet, which was given
vote Of confidence by the reichstag,
230 to 1872, on the question of its de-.
cision to send a commissioner to nego-
tiate with the Poles. This vote, how
ever, was more of courtesy to Wirth
than q real expression of support,
and it is believed the ministry will be
short lived.
While the German government will
negotiate with the Poles relative to
the economic situation in Upper
SilesIa, it has declared, through the
chancellor, that reference of the
Silesian question to the league coun-
ell was illegal and contrary to the
treaty of Versailles, and it does not
accept the partition which deprived
Germany of much of the best coal and
Industrial sections of the district.
The flag of the German republic is
kept at half mast over the reichstag
building in mourning for the Silesian
decision.

President Harding made a three-day
trip into the Southland to attend the
semi-centennial celebration of Birming-
ham, Ala, and he took the occasion
to speak some plain words on the race
problem. He declared that ''unless
our democracy is lie," there must be
economic, educat tona and political
equality for the negro, but without
attempt at social equality. Here are
a few of his p'thy sentences:
81 would say let the black man vote
when he is fit to vote; prohibit the
white man voting when he is unfit to
vote"
II wish that both the tradition of
a solldly Democratic South and the
tradition of a sOlidly Republican black
race might be broken up"
"Men of both races may well stand
uncomprOmlsingly against every. sug-
gestlon Of social equality. This is not
a question of recognizing a funda-
mental, eternal, unacceptable differ
ence."
"Racial amalgamation there cannot
be. Partnership of the races in de-
veloping the highest aims of all hu-
manity there must be If humanity is
to achieve the ends which we have
set for It,"
"The black man should seek to be,
and he should be encouraged to be, the
best possible black man, and not the
best possible imitation of a white
man."

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
last week created considerable excite
ment and, it must be said, rejoicing,
by taking the lid off the manufacture
and sale of beer and wine for medic
inal purposes. Convinced that 1t was
unfair to wait longer for congress to
pass the anti-beer bill, he issued the
regulations necessary. Not more than
two and one-half gallons of beer may
be prescribed at one time for use by
the same person, but there is no limit
on the number of prescriptions that
may be issued by a physician. The
limit for one wine prescription Is two
quarts, but there is no limit to the
number of prescriptions.
Naturally Wayne Wheeler and the
other radical dry leaders in Washing
ton were greatly exercised by Secre-
tary MELONS action, and announced
that the antl-beer measure would be
pushed forward for passage at the
first opportunity. According to Mr.
Wheeler, in only a few states will II
be practicable to prescribe beer and
wine as medicine, owing to state pro
hlbition laws.
