Cleaner Money Coming,
Says Secretary Mellon

CLEANER money is to be put
into circulation. The Mer-
chants Association has received
from Andrew w. Mellon, Secre-
tary of the Treasury, a letter
making this promise.
"The condition of the paper
money in circulation was very
bad up to six months ago." the
Secretary wrote. "This was due
to the inability of the agencies
available for currency produc-
tion to print more notes and yet
produce the required public debt
securities. This situation, hap
PLY, is passed, and an increased
currency printing programme
was inaugurated several months
ago."

This has been the quietest week end

when the extremist Sim F'ein campaign
began. There was no hint of disorder.

Associated Press correspondent Col

QUIET WEEK END IN ERIN
BIZ the Associated Press.

LONDON. July 1.-THE discussions
between Premier Lloyd George and
Eamon de Valera with the object Of
finding a basis for a general confer
ence on the Irish situation. will be
resumed tomorrow. 1t Is probable
also that Sir James Craig, the Ulster
Premier, will confer with the Prime
Minister.
Whether Mr.. Lloyd George, Mr.. de
Valera and the Ulster Premier will
of views, IS not known. A spokesman
of the Sim Fein has said that this is
not possible, as the head of the Ulster
Government is considered by De Va
lera as outside the pale Of the present
negotiations, so far as the representa-
tives of southern Ireland are con-
cerned.
Mr.. de Valera this evening issued
the following statement insisting upon
adherence to self determination:
THE press gives the impression that
have been making certain compro-
mise demln I have made no de-
mand but one-the only one I am en-
titled to make. That is that the self
determination o. the Irish nation shall
be recognized"
Reason for Statement.
The Issuance OF this statement is be-
lieved to have been directly due to re-
ports In Paris and London claiming
authority for the statement that Mr..
de Valera was shelving the independent
republic claim on the understanding that
what was termed "a practical equiva-
lent" would be offered to him. Exactly
what equivalent was meant was not
explained.
Mr.. de Valera has already said that
as he had received a mandate for
republic from the Irish people he could
not withdraw from that position unless
so instructed by the people themselves.
1t is considered possible that he may
receive the Government proposals, modi-
fled by his own views. conditional on
their submission later to the Irish people
for their decision.
When he attended mass at Southw wark
Cathedral to-day the republican leader
had another rapturous ovation at the
hands of Irish sympathizers.
Newspaper statements Of triangular
conference tomorrow between David
Lloyd George. Sir James Craig and
Eamon de Valera were characterized by
a spokesman for the de Valera party as
"all moonshine." He added that such
reports might be completely disregarded.
Asked whether this statement meant
that the time was not ripe for such three
party discussions. the spokesman said:
Il don't wish to say that, for it would
imply that the time might become ripe,
and we don't know that 1t will We do
not know what Sir James Craig Is doing
or what he may do. The British Gov
ernment Is dealing with him.

CHAPTER LII
/ REVIEW CISSY'S
QUALIFICATIONS

IF I married Cissy, I would go
a through life forever conscious of

once forgetting myself, never caring
mc1e for another's happiness than
Ger my own.
l would see myself as the million
aires bride. Then as the mother of

days : grande dame-and the patri-

Never once would I forget myself

There would be a greater variety of
roles to play!
And again, might as we'll marry
Cissy. If | were Gtsi:red to act all
my years, fortune effered me an
elegant 1ole as his Wife.
Perhaps this mixed reasoning, per-
haps the constant talk about Cissv's
wealth and what happiness riches
alone can give to a woman compelle
me gradually to look with favor upc
Cissy's proposition.
He would be an exquisite COM
panion in home. The more
studied him, the better I liked him.
That was long way from loving
him, but it might prove the keystone
of happiness in a marriage in which
love was considered scientifically.
Cissy adored beauty until it be-
came a weakness in his nature. He
had the most perfect taste. l sup
pose that was the secret of his act
ing. He demanded the best of every
thing, from butter to books.
| could see that he would like to
have me in his home as part of the
decorations, if for no other reason.
He would show off my good looks as
proudly as he would display the
flowers in his gardens.

THAT JUDGE cEoRGE RuMoR.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH appar-
emily takes little stock in the
rumor that George w. F. George
resigned his seat on the Supreme
court to prepare himself for a race
for congress from this district. Re-
printing paragraph from the Times
Recorder of earlier this week men
tioning the rumor, the Dispatch says:
"And may we not suggest that the
truth is, Judge George left the state
Supreme bench because he was not
making a living for himself and fam
lily on the salary he drew? AS against
rumor this should not be set up to
close his mouth when the time comes
to run for congress, but at this hour,
we have not the remotest idea that
the runner of the race for congress
against Congressman Crisp has the
least coloring of truth in it.
at is more likely true that the sal,
airy Judge Crisp draws no more pro-
vides living for him and his fam
lily than does the state salary for a
Supreme court associate justice meet
the expenses of one who holds the
job and tries to pay for maintenance
of family in Atlanta. Living ex-
penses in Atlanta are high, but in
Washington they are higher"

house in the days before Volstead be-
came famous in every nook and eel

when Uncle Sam was sharing the
profits of the liquor traffic, this bar
rel of whisky could have been bought
for 500 or less, Every law of val

So rare is this specimen that Bos-

barrel. One newspaper headline
reads: "Cask attracts great atten-
tion-exhibit carefully locked up for

Two thousand dollars!
Why?
Scarcity
Plenty of liquor can be bought in
Americas. But the real stuff is
nearly extinct. It's retreat is COW
cred with a barrage of counterfeit
labels.
Enemies of Demon Rum, lecturing
for prohibition, used to give this H.
iustration: "Stick your finger in a
glass of whisky. Then put your fin

what alcohol does to nerves and the
delicate lining of the stomach"
Every one knew that 80 per cent
of youthful criminals were children

could be inherited.
Every one knew that alcohol wreck
ed the nerves, ruined the heart and
eyes, lowered efficiency and shorten
