 COMING PROPOSAL
Will Not Pay Price Tatamount To Distrust of World in Order to Save Great

 Washington, November 30.-(Spe- cial)-When it is forced to abandon it's present contention for a 7-10 ratio. Japan will propose that the mum Der of capital ships allotted to the great Eaval powers be increased by one Tue United States. it is indicated to- night, will decline.
 Then Japan will yield, according to conservative judgment. For. to save the Mutsu. it's greatest battleship, tn Nipponese would not pay price tantamount to the distrust of the civ ilized world
 The Washington conference is not endangered, it is held by JapaI s present attitude. And Japan, all though it is apparently self-centert d. is not the only power afflicted :h that natural ailment. It developed today that France and Italy will six that they be given a naval rating equal to that of Japnn
 And England is prepared to protest on the ground that were France and Italy so favored, they might combine and surpass it's own naval strength.
 France and Italy have been at dag , ger points since the speech of Pre- mier Briand. And their amalgama- ton is secuted. In addition to this fact, they declare to England t: It in the 5-5-3 scheme the United States would be outpointed were England and Japan to unite, and that England would be outclasstd If the United States could find it possible to com bine its strength with that of Japan.
 There is always on the horizon an imaginary war as the delega tions In secret discuss perpetual peace, but this apparent anomoly is natural, it Is said, and foreshadows no unhappy announcement.
 From, the President of the United States to Admiral Kato, every out standing figure in Washington pre- dicted today success of the interna- tional barley.
 It is significan therefore, that as the present deadlock and threatened impasse prevail, confidence is the keynote of the scarcely undcrstand- able situation.

LOCAL APPLICANTS
 K GIVEN PREFERENCE

Birmingham people will be given preference in obtaining employment, according to a statement made yes- terday by H. E. Oliver, manager of the municipal federal employment bureau.
 Many applicants for work are being received daily from people coming from the north and northwest, he stated. These transients, he said. are coming in at the rate of 25 or 30 8 day, but when there are calls for workmen these are being given to residents of the Birmingham district. This will be continued as long as they apply for work, he said.

Virginia cOnfides to Naomi that she intends to run away from home to escape the tyrannicaI rule of her grandfather. Aunt Virginia tells her niece how the grandfather's whims and ideas ruined her life. She urged Virginia to go away before her life, too, was blasted.
 I will never know why I deter mined at that moment to be moving picture actress unless perhaps it was that at that moment we were pass ing the one moving picture theatre of the town, place had seldom visited because my grandfather disapproved.
 Out in front of this theatre was stand of pictures showing a beauti- full girl pursued by a villain through a rough country. Both were on horses and both were wearing wild western clothes. Up to that time had had no idea of what line of work I was going to choose. My desires had not reached that far. only knew that l must get away.
 When I confided to Aunt Virginia that I intended to become moving picture actress l nearly frightened her to death.
 Your grandfather will never for give you. He considers actors. whether speaking or silent, a trap set by the devil to lure mortals within the portals of hell.'
 But. Aunt Virginia, I want to do something. I must make a choice be- fore I go away"
 In my romantic ignorance. l thought I had only to choose. Per haps had I known what was before me I would have elected to stay at home and marry Eddie Montforth.
 Tt is splendid provision of na- ture that has endowed youth with that fine courage that comes from lack of experience" observed Aunt Virginia rather sadly. Because youth knows nothing of failure 1t seems as far away from the realities as death itself. If youth thinks about death at all it's inevitableness has tragic dignity. which may intrigue youth for the moment. while failure failure from it's very futility-is ridiculous. Look at mer'
 Some one has said that no one thinks of death as coming to him un- til after 40. Life looked rosy and the way to my desires looked bright that day. notwithstanding my pity for Aunt Virginia. Even when l looked up into my aunt's face to find the tears rolling down her cheeks my courage did not fail me.
 Strange" she said, "how every thing repeats itself. Your grand father will never forgive you" she said again, soberfy. and I knew she was thinking of my mother-the mother I never knew. Grandfather" she continued, Insists that the only disgrace that was ever visited upon the first families of Virginia came through one of his name"
 What did my mother do that made my grandfather so angry?"

of wage reductions; more retrench-

HARDINGS SELECT
DATES OF WHITE
HOUSE FUNCTIONS
ny RETTY BAXTERN

Washington, Oct. 8.--The win
ter's campaign is being mapped out
by Washington society generals"
now that Mrs. Warren G.. Harding
has made known the dates for en-
tertainments at the White House
during the winter. Mrs. Harding
and her social secretary, Miss
Laura Harlan. realizing how i'm
portant it is to prospective host
esses to know the social program
of the White House as early as
possible, very thoughtfully got to-
gether and worked hard over the
matter and made the announce
ments earlier than usual. No en-
tertaining In honor of the delegates
to the armament conference was
included on the calendar but 1t is
safe to predict that at least one re-
ception will be given by President
and Mrs. Harding especially In
their honor and perhaps a dinner
or two, also. 1t is also probable
that a series of musicales and In
formal tea parties will be given at
the White House though they are
not on the calendar either.
OnlY lElC udleb Vi Llle sItilc LuuS-
lions were announced and perhaps
the one of the widest interest is the
New Years reception when anyone
without an invitation and regard
less Of class, can go to the execu-
tive mansion and shake the presl-
dent and the first lady of the land
by the hand and rub elbows with
the highest. President Wilson
abolished the time-honored custom
Of holding open house on New
Years day. so the news OF Its re-
vival Is received with great glee.
l suppose that the reception will
be patterned after those Of the
past when the cabinet members,
the diplomatic corps. the members
of the supreme court and other
high officials head the line and are
received first. the other guests
coming in the order of their arrival
first come, first served
though they usually have to stand
in line for hours before reaching
their hosts. And the line seems
endless and generally lasts through
the greater part Of the day.
Those receptions are certainly
an awful physical strain on the
president and his wife. but they are
perhaps the most interesting and
colorful occasions of each year.

The first part of the party, II

The house was attractively deco
rated like a japanese bower for
the occasion. About eight o'clock
the escorts began arriving to take
the girls to the Woman's club,
where the remainder OF the eve
ming was spent in dancing. The
club building was also deliberately
decorated. A two-course luncheon
