Tomatoes After Frost.
Tomato vines usually have a large
quantity Of unripened fruit when the
1rosts come. 1t is customary to use
much OF this for pickles, but the frost
need not put an end to ripe tomatoes.
II the vines are pulled, or If they are
cut and the ends sealed with paraftin
or sealing wax, they can be hung IN
In cool cellar and the tomatoes will
rlpen and often last for six weeks.
Another plan is to pick the tomatoes
wrap them in papers, and place them

SINN FEM ARE ASKED
TO NEW PEACE MEET
Lloyd George Invites Eamonn De Va
iera to London Farley on
October II.

Gairloch, Scotland, Sept 3O.-The
text of Prime Minister Lloyd Georges
reply to the latest note from EamOnn
De Valera, which was dispatched to
Dublin, is as follows:
"Sir: His majesty's government
has given close and earnest consid-
GRAFTON to the correspondence which
has passed between us since their
invitation to you to send delegates
to conference at Inverness.
"In spite of their sincere desire for
peace, and in spite Of the more con-
ciiatory tone Of your latest commune
c@ions, they cannot enter into con-
ference upon the basis of this cor
respondence.
Notwithstanding your personal as
Surance to the contrary, which they
much appreciate, it might be argued
in the future that the acceptance of
a conference on this basis had in
volved them in a recognition which
no British government can accord.
On this point they must guard them
selves against any possible doubt.
There is no purpose to be served by
any further interchange of eXplana-
tory and argumentative communica-
tons upon this subject. The position
taken up by his majesty's government
is fundamental to the existence of the
British empire, and they cannot al
ter it.
"My colleagues and / remain, how
ever, keenly anxious to make, in CO.
operation with your delegates, another
determined effort to explore every
possibility of a settlement by per-
sonal discussion.
''The proposals which we have al
ready made have been taken by the
whole world as proof that our endeav-
ors for reconciliation and settlement
are no empty form, and we feel that
conference, not correspondence, is the
most practical and hopeful way to an
understanding such as we ardently
desire to achieve.
1--WE therefore send you these with
a fresh invitation to a conference in
London on October II, where we can
men Of the people whom you repre-
sent with view to ascertaining how
the association of Ireland with the
community of nations known as the
British empire may be best recon-
ciled with Irish national aspirations.

CEREMONIES ARE IMPOSING
Pershing Bestows Congressional Medal
on Tomb Of Unknown Soldier
in Paris.

Paris, Oct 3.-Military and civil
ceremonies without precedent marked
the bestowal by General 2ershing Of
the congressional medal on the tomb
of the unknown soldier of France.
The tomb, beneath the Arc Of
Triumph, was f1anked on both sides
by an imposing array of soldiers,
statesmen and officials. These includ-
ed Marshals Foch, Joffre, Petain,
Fayolle, Fanchet. Desperey and Ly-
autey, the latter having come from
Morocco expressly for the ceremonies.
Premier BRAND and his entire cabinet,
seven ambassadors, the members of
the superior war council, virtually the
entire membership of the senate and
the chamber of deputies and the elite
of the French literary and social
world, while directly in front, at at
tention, stood President Millerand.

LLOYD GEORGE is INVITED
Harding Makes Direct Personal Ap-
peal to British Premier to Come
to Washington.

London, Oct. president Harding
has made direct personal appeal to
Premier Lloyd George to attend the
disarmament conference at Washing
ton, according to the usually well-in-
formed Sunday Chronicle.
When and how the invitation was
made is not revealed, but it is con-
sidered likely here that this is the
basis for the reported anxiety of the
premier to go, even if only for fort
night.
But the premier has been so busy
with the Irish and the unemployment
questions during his holidays at Gair-
loch that he has not found an oppor-
tune moment to discuss the Washing
ton conclave, intending to call spe-
cial session of the cabinet for this pur-
pose Immediately after returning to
London.
