Furniture, when repainted, If done

summer draperies harmonize so beau

white is another popular and striking

this year.
A good wetting of the concrete

the house until well aired in the

1t will keep much cooler, shutting out
the sun by drawing shades and closing

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"MAD" AND "ANGRY."

r. EW words are more frequently mis-.
l. used than mad anl angry" 1t
must be confessed, however that there
is some excuse for the misuse of the
words, since many psychologists hold
that it is difficult to tell, when the emo
tons of a person are aroused, just
where anger ends and madness begins.
But in grammar there is a sharp dis
tinction between angry" and mad"
The former means to be veXed or out
of patience, while the latter indicates
madness, insanity. A person who is
insane is mad, but person whose
mail is delayed is not mad, but mere
ly angry. There is a tigurative use Of
the word "mad"-that is, use in
which the words are not to be taken
literally-such as mad with pain"
'mad with terror" etc.
81 am mad at that fellow" says a
man: "he cheated me in a stock deal"
He should say, II am angry at that
fellow" etc.

Increase in American Eurets,

A gratifying report telling of an in

equally firm attitudes with respect to
the status of the Pacine Island OF

that, irrespective of any award Of man

access to the, islands for the landing
and operation of cables.
In replying to this note, Secretary
Hughes on April stated emphatical.
ly that the United States could not
be bound by any action either of the
Supreme Council or of the League of
Nations. and that, as no one had ever
been authorized to surrender or cede'

could not recognize the ALLEGATION OF

Britain, France and Italy also have
before them similar communications
on the subject dispatched by Mr..
Hughes at the same time that the
note to Japan went forward. Ex-
changes between the four Allied gov
ernments are understood to be under
way with view to reaching a com
mon accord before replying.
Meantime. however, France has
sent a preliminary reply in which she
states that the matter is one for the

view to finding a solution which will

The viewpoint of the Harding Ad-

quarters. is that the question of wheth.
er the Supreme Council did actually
award the island to Japan cn May 7,
as contended by that country, and dis
puted by President Wilson and the
State Department is of secondary i'm
portance.
The important point at issue. it is
emphasized, is the recognition BY the
Allied governments of the principle
laid down by Mr.. Hdghes-that the
United States, as one of the principal
Allied and Associated Powers, has
an equal right with the others in the
former overseas possessions Of Ger
many, and that those rights cannot
be disposed of without the consent of

Breaks In Both Partles-SeveraI SEN

The Voting On Various
Amendments.

Washington,-The Colombian treaty
growing out OF the partitioning of Pan
anna was ratified by the Senate. 1t
provides for the payment by the Unit
ed States Of s25,00O,00O to the South
American republic, but as yet to be
approved by the Colombian Assembly.
The news administration, through
ratification of the treaty. won its first
ngnt IN the Senate. The President, in
a message to the special session Of the
Senate March .. five days after his
Inauguration, recommended ratifca-
ton as very helpful at the present
time in promoting our friendly reIa-
tionships."
This recommendation was supple
mented by Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, the Republican leader who in
reply to attacks Of Republican Sena.
tors Of the Progressive group, declared
ratification Of the pact was part of
great national foreign policy" contem-
plated by President Harding towards
our neighbors In the Southern and
Eastern Hemispheres."
Forty Republicans were Joined by
20 Democrats in voting for ratiflca-
ton. One Republican, Page, Vermont
and three Democrats, Shields, Ten
nessee; Owen, Oklahoma. and Wash,
Montana, were paired in its favor.
Two Republican senators, Elkins, West
Virginia. and Newberry, Michigan,
were absent and not voting.
Fifteen Republicans and four Demo-

New York.-The republics Of North
and South America Joined hands
across the Caribbean in two notable
historical events commemorating their
heroes who showed each continent the
road to liberty.
Amid the roar of cannon and the
plaudits OF 3 distinguished gathering,
President Harding at the bronze
equestrian statue Of Simon Bolivar, un.
yelled in Central Park, New York, pro-
claimed anew the fundamentals Of the
Monroe Doctrine and cited the desir-
ability Of standing firmly together for
service, both to the new and old world.
Simultaneously in Caracas, yene-
zuelas capital, President-elect Gomez
and the people of Boliva's native land
gathered around the statue Of George
Washington, which was unveiled with
appropriate exercises in Washington
Park. new site to which it had been
transferred.
President Harding's brief visit to
New York gave the public its first op-
portunity to greet him as President
with the enthusiasm always reserved
for the nations Chief Executive. From
the moment Of his arrival until his de-
parture three and a half hours later
crowds waited good-naturedly in the
chilly streets through which he had to
pass and cheered cordial welcome.
President Harding was generously
applauded when he declared the Unit
ed States is ready to fight in uphold
ing the Monroe Doctrine.
'The history of the generations since
that doctrine was proposed" he said,
has proved that we never intended it
selishly, that we had no dream of ex-
ploitation. On the other side, the his
tory Of the last decade certainly must
have convinced all the world that we
stand willing to fight If necessary, to
protect these continents, these sturdy
young demoeracies, from oppression. :"
The Presidents arrival at Bolivar
Hill was signalized by salute Of 21
guns. After he had been escorted
to the stand facing the statue, fol.
lowed by Secretary of State Hughes;
Rene viviani, envoy extraordinary
from France; Governor Miller, Mayor
tylan, DR.. e. Gil-Borges. Venezuelan
foreign minister, and host Of Latin
American diplomats ard representa-
tives of patriotic societies of both
continents, the ceremonies began
promptly.
The unveiling Of the statue by the
great-grand-daughters of Gen. Jose
Antonio Paez was the occasion for
another salute of 21 guns, followed by
the playing of the Venezuelan Ma.
tional Anthem by band from the
Brazilian battleship Minas Geraes and
the presentation by Minister Gil
Borges. Mayor Hylan accepted 1t for
the City of New York, and wreaths
were laid at the base Of the statue by
various societies.

Supporters OF the policy of the
Maryland Road Commission and the
State Motor Vehicle Commissioner in
opposing unlimited motor licensing
reciprocity between the District of
Columbia. and this State are finding
comfort in the recently announced
intention OF President Harding to
withhold Federal highway aid from
states which have no comprehensive
system Of road maintenance The
reciprocity fight has been waxing
more intense each year since Mary
land first launched State highway
building program. President Harding's
idea for distribution of future Federal
road funds, as outlined in Washing
ton dispatches, is understood to be
TIA. Federal aid funds viii go only to
states having some maintenance pro.
vision whereby the users of the high
ways, through their vehicle licenses,
maintain the roads. This is the basic
principle of the Maryland maintenance
system.
