IN IRELAND PARLEY

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Government
circles today EXPIRE ssed beiief that
the Irish conference would break
down almost Immediately as result
of the difficulties which have arisen
and that the resumption of armed
facilities could NOT be postponed.
the alternative settlement plan
submitted by the government to the
Sim Fein representatives last night
included the necessity for a definite
undertaking by the SIM F'ein to take
the oath of allegiance to the crown.
The Sim Fein have many objec-
tions to the governments new plan,
but even if it agrees to discuss this
plan it will not new give its assent
to the oath of allegiance proviso. 1t
is stated.
Thus, it appears, according TO
government officials that the breach
in the negotiations. if it comes, as is
now feared. will take place over the
allegiance issue
There has been hope of prolonging
the truce and a6journing negotia-
tions for an additional period of two
months, but this hope now has re-
ceded.

make the grade for traffic and Pc

to the city.

suit of the track depression was

Instead of securing a new rigi< o.

made that the city endeavor to Sc

Does Not Close Doors

LONDON, Nov. 80 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) of Ulster TO
enter an all-Ireland parliament
under present conditions" voiced
in Belfast yesterday by Premier
Craig. is not considered here as clos
ing the doors to settlement on the
basis of the semi -official plans ad-
vanced yesterday. Under this plan
the terms offered ireland would be
drafted in treaty form and submit
ted to the house of commons. The
treaty would embody provision for
an all-Ireland parliament. but would
give northeastern Ulster, as defined
by a boundary commission, permis-
sion to declare itself out, either al
once or after a limited period.
1t is believed that Ulster, however,
would balk at the intended recon
struction of her boundary, although
no lessening of the total area under
control of the Ulster parliament is
foreseen here. 1t is pointed out that
amputation from Ulster of Catholic
districts might be balanced by ac-
QUESTION of Protestant districts now
assigned TO southern Ireland.

discuss other avenues for settle

Dropping Mouths

Dropping Mouths
The dropping mouth is a character
indication that really requires no scien-
tifc reading. You're almost sure TO
read il intuitively. In nearly every
body's mind the dropping mouth is as
ISOLATED with discomfort.
The downward curve to the corners
of the lips Is the natural expression of
this feeling. II may be a temporary
as we'll as a permanent expression.
Try it out on yourself. Assume the
expression and hold il for q bit. Actu-
ally you experience q vague. disgruntled
sort Of feeling coming over you. That
is one Of the pecuiarities Of the facial
expressions. Of the mouth particularly.
They work haclv ard to certain OK

irritability, Of tuult finding and Of

There's cure, however. for every
weakness, and in this case its 70
markably simple one: merely to cult

reacts on the emotions in exactly H.,
