Ode "The New York Times.)

Ell presidente Harding fue bien
aconseiado al no hacer ostentacion de
la frma de resolution conjunta del
congreso poniendo fin al estado de
guerra con Alemania. Sc habia habla
do hacer gran ruido acerca del a
sunto. FL Presidente iba otrecer
la paz como un presente del de JUNO
a la naci0n. Iba ser motive sde Ju-
bio entire lagrimas de agradecimien-
to. Pero con un gran sentido Ell presl
dente Harding opuso su veto todaS
estas tonterias. Supo, sin duda, que
cualquiera clase de feStejos q. Sc hu
bieran llevado a cabo Sc habrla mira
do como artificial. La mayor parte
de los norteamericanos Sc habrlan
sentido. En- ell hecho, ellos no Sc han
exitado absolutamente acerca de 10
que claramente perciben ser solamen-
te el reconocimiento legal de un hecho
admitido, este es, la cesacion de hos
tilidades. Tcdo 10 que hubiera trata-
do de presentar este como una haza-
ma patriotica habria sido considerable
como la forma mas baja de la pala-
breria.
Ell pueblo comprende perfectamente
que la real labor de celebrar la paz
con Alemania esta por realizarse. Ma
die 10 sabe mejor que la administra-
ci6n de Washington. De tempo en-
tempo da seguridadcs de que tiene
un programa de paz. Els, entendido que
ell departamento de Estado esta labo

conocimiento tecnico inherente a su
jefe ell secretario Hughes. Los detalles
sc mantienen reservados, pero el prin-
cipal principle general Sc revela cla-
ramente, O sea una cordial coopera-
cion con los Aliados. va Sc ha expli-

que va ha dsdo pasos para hacer re-

A parte de esta question secundaria,

 m!- I gasped. The ring! The
 Nonsense. it isn't gone." said Jim. rising and coming around to my side Of the table Tt couldn't be gone. 1t must have rolled out of the box when Bertha dropped it"
 Suiting his action to the idea, Jim dropped to his knees and crept across the rug, examining every inch of it. I followed his example and began fell to moving tables and chairs peeHng under sideboard and serving table. wringing her hands and mutt tering to herself as the unavalling search progressed
 We went over and over the same i ground. the way people do when believe facts. We turned back the edges of the rug. rolling it so far that no ring could ever have gotten under it to the distance we investigated. We moved furniture out of place and into ] 1t again We fairly tore the room to i pieces, while our soup stood cooling and congealing-
 Finally Jim got to his feet his face grave. his eyes dark and remote.
 I'll look in the living room You and Bertha stay here and go over 'this room again." he said
 The minute he left the room Ser itha- turned to me and began scream ing in a high, shrTn voice, such as I had never dreamed my quiet, self .effa.cing maid possessed:
 You think l took iti It's always a poor girl like me gets blamed when things happen And now, with things the way they are, you'll be sure to put it on me. But I tell you I didn't see it. I don't even know what it is you've 1ost-''
 Up to this moment I had never considered the possibility of a theft. It certainly hadn't occurred to me to suspect my kind, considerate Bertha But her protests made me nervous. ] was glad when Jim returned and took things into his own hands.
 'Rertha," he said quietly. 'I don't want to frighten you unnecessarily, but a very valuable ring belonging to Mrs. Harrison has been lost. I have sent for a detective. Is there any, comes? Mind I'm not accusing you of anything, but you must see for yourself how it looks"
 Bertha burst into sobs and begged me to examine her at once
 'I didn't do it," she Sobbed. ''But the police will put it on me sure. Oh, Mrs. Harrison, won't you take me self? Honest, I didn't touch the ring! didn't even know there was a. ring It couldn't have been in the box when you sent me for it''
 How did it get out ?'' asked Jim jud1cially.
 Wait a minute" I interrupted There are two things we must clear a ring, Bertha, for when you asked me to come into the hall I was wear ing it, and you watched me while I put 1t in the box. But until we sent for it just now you weren't alone with the box and other people were. Come

When the doctor in his laboratory painted a frog with a coat of varniSh, he did it with the purpose of applying his discoveries to the welfare of hu- man beings. And very important lesson can be learned from the var niShed frog
 The science or life Cbiology) has proved that the varnished frog croa;ks dts last croak in an atmosphere warmed above 96 degrees Fahrenheit. This is about two degrees below the normal temperature of the human body. But the unvarnished frog will survive this ordeal, though no doubt preferring it's natural and much seaeler environment.
 There iS a reason-in fact. there are several reasons The frog. to continue in health, must use the pores of it's skin to radiate it's super fluous bodily heat, and this it cannot do through coat of vaInish which closes up it's pores. Nor can the skin, when vanished, help the frogs kid 1eys to eliminate the body's inFpuri- ties and poisons in thief orTn of sweat Nor can the skin perform its office of re-estab fishing disturbed circula-- ton and relieving congestion in the internal organs Nor can the skin perforrn its functions of eXcretion and secretion and of general sensation. Nor can such a frog breathe through the sskin as all living things normally

 Perhaps you would prefer at once to go on to the scene of the crime, MT. Holm es2'' said Gregory.
 1T think that I should prefer to stay here a little and go into one or two questions of detail-- Straker was brought here, I -presume?' %
 "Yes; he lies upstairs. The in quest is tomorrow"
 He has been in your service some years, Colonel Ross"
 "I have always found him an ex- cellent servant

 T have the things themselves in Ines itting-room. if you would care to see them"
 ''I should be very glad" We all filed into the front room and sat round the central table while the In- spector unlocked a square tin box and laid a small heap of things before us There was a box of vestas, two inches of talIow candle, an D P brier-root pipe, a pouch of seaI-skin with half an ounce Of 1ong-cut Cavendish, silver watch with a gold chain, five sovereigns in gold, an aluminium pencil-case. few papers. and an ivory-handled knife with a very deli cate, inhexible blade marked Weiss & Co.,, London.

 Undoubtedly He has neither knife nor any sign o6 a wound. The eyideTice against him is certainly very strong. He had a great interest in the disappearance of the favorite. He lies under suspicion of having pois- oned the stable-boy, he was undoubt- edly out in the storm. he was armed with a heavy stick, and his cravat was found in the dead mans hand really think we have enough to go before a jury
 Holmes shook his head. "A clever counsel would tear 1t all to rags" said he. why should he take the horse out of the stable If he wish ed to fnjure it why could he not do it there Has a duplicate key been found in his possession?

The style of hat that is most fash ionable this spring can be found by discovering what is most becoming to Gne'S self. In other years there has been some diversity in spring styles, but never before has there been such a variety of shapes and sizes, colorS and materials. The small hat, the large hat, the medium size hat are all to be seen and none is chosen as being farther ahead of the mode than the rest.
 Ostrich feathers are very popular as trimmings but they are not all the short uncurled or oiled plun1es. The new hats have feathers that are long enough to cover the crown and some of the plumes go farther than this, ending in a Streaner effect at the sides or back.

In every other direction the low curves of the moor, bronze colored from the fading ferns, stretched away to the skyline, broken only ay the sreeples of Tavi- stock, and by a cluster of houses away to the westward which marked the Ma:pleton stables. We all sprang out with the exception of Holmes. who continued to lean back with his eyes fixed upon the sky in front Of him, entirely absorbed in his own thoughts It was only when touch edz his arm that he reused himself with a violent start and stepped out of the carriage
 Excuse me-" said he, turning to Colonel Ross who had looked at him in some surprise. 'T was day dreaming" There was a gleaJn in his eyes and a suppressed excitement in his manner which Convinced me.

derstandfng between Simpson and these gypsies, might he not have been leading the horse to them when he was overtaken, and may they not have him now?"
 Ut is certainly possible"
 The moor IS being secured for these gypSies I have also examined every stable and out-house in TaVl- stock, and for a radiun of ten miles. '
 There is another training stable quite close, understand ?'
 "Yes, and that is a factor which we must certainly not neglect. As Desborough, their horse. was second in the betting, they had an interest in the disappearance of the favorite. SiIas Brown, the trainer, is known to have had large bets upon the event, and he was no friend to poor Straker- We have, however, examined the stables, and there is nothing to con- meet him with the affair.""
 And nothing to connect this man Simpson with the interests of the Mapleton stables? ?"

 I wish to speak today of the latter innovation, the curtain holder made of crocheted flowers. Quaint it is. and decorative. The artist has helped my word picture with her illustrtion To evolve this charming arrangement proceed in this way.
 Make a narrow band of the same material as is used in the curtains. It is wise to use a layer of siffening as an interlining. Choose worsted of several colors suitable to the rooms decorative scheme and crochet into small flowers. With green worsted make many green leaves. Arrange the flowers into an attractive grouping and fasten on to the band. At either end of the band place a small ring and fasten to a hook on the window easement.
 On taffeta curtains or on plain material of the lighter weights these holders are most charming. They may also be used to good advantage on plain linen hangings.

 He acknowledges that it is his, and declares that he had lost it. But d new element has been introduced into the case which may account for his leading the horse from the sta- ble."

This is shown in the center photograph. The feathers are very long and uncurled, falling down each side of a becom- ing little toque of tulle trimmed with rows of jet beads.

In contrast to the sophisticated style of this toque is the simple little hat of smoked gray horsehair in the top 1efthand corner The uneven brim. bent in an irregular line is es- pecially becoming to the ingenue type of face, and the jade green rib bon provides a simple trimming in character with the hat itself.

A frog will survive for some time the loss of its lungs. respiration go- ing on through it's skin In the healthy and intact frog. under its or dinary living conditions, three fourths of the total gaseous ex- changes which normally go on through the lungs may be cutaneous that is, going on through the skin. Thus one frog lived B days and another 40 days after the removal of it's lungs.
 In man, respiration does not go through the skin nearly as much as in the frog; but the difference is of degree and not at all of kind Res piration means taking in oxygen from the surrounding air or water and throwing off carbon dioxide and other waste. In man. some at least of the body's carbon dioxide is due to putrsfactive processes on the sur- face of the body; thus is explained in part of the heavy odor of a 'tclose'' room- But no harmful products a;p- pear to be exhaled from the human skin when it is properly cleansed.
 It has also been dem onstrated in the laboratory that of two frogs, the one vanished and the other not, di- seaSe germs wi1l-aL other things be- ing eQuS7i-Tnafke shorter woEk of the vanished reptile. And that fact, too, we shall find, has a bearing on h11- man susceptibility to infectious di- SeoSe.

Then if Bertha was innocent. as indeed I felt and believed, whom, except Daisy, was there to connect with the disappearance of my ring
 Through my mind there flashed Daisy's envious expression when first she saw the ring. Again in my ears rang her bitter words:
 ''Everything's for you. An ador- ing husband. Jewels You you matter to every one. Can't you leave Carl alone?'
 I remembered Daisy's mad rush to get out of my apartment. But then town My brain whirfed. Rertha's eyes were fixed pleadingly on my face and 1 had to say something. So I pulled myself together and answered

A minute later we were all seated in a comfortable landau, and were rattEng through the quaint old Devon shire city. Inspector Gregory was full of his case and poured out a stream of remarksywhile Holmes threw in an occasional question or inter jection. Colonel Ross leaned back with his arms folded and his hat tilted over his eyes, while I listened with interest to the dialogue of the two detectives. Gregory was formu- latine his theory, which was almost exactly what Holmes had foretold in the train-
