Everyday Aa- Ventures

That Puts The Joy Back Into Life
When you've been living in an apart
ment or a rented house for the last Eve
years and somebody is always telling you
that the rent has been raised or that the
lease has run out
And your wife says she "wishes to
goodness she could get home OF her
TO move out Just as soon as she had it
nicely fixed up
And you feel the same way about things
but you can't find house that youd
want to buy that's within your reach-no
matter how hard you try
And then. one day. you think you'll
take a look through the Real Estate col
umns in the classified section OF the EN
MING NEWS, and you let out whoop
and hand the paper to your wife and say
Come on. Kate. let's go take look at
this one
And you find that It's what you've both
been dreaming of and that you can make
the price with a hundred to spare ana
you say Home. Sweet Home at last!

RepubIicans to Meet.

DUBLIN, Aug. A full meeting
of the Irish Republican party is to
be called, the official announcement
of the call and date to be published
in today's issue of the Irish Bulletin.
1t is reported the reply of Ulster TO
overtures by Sinnn Fein has been
received and is not favorable. The
call for the meeting involves the
release from prison of twenty-five
members of this body and it is de-
clared the government is willing to
facilitate their attendance.
Belief is expressed that there Is
no use summoning the parliament
until the attitude of Ulster is defined.
The Inference is the answer OF Ulster
has been received. This is reported
unfavorable, Belfast leaders declin-
ing Sim k'ein overtures, although
the overtures had the sympathy OF
the British government.
GBy The Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. Awhile governs
ment circles profess confidence that
Irish affairs are progressing toward
settlement there has been a tone Of
uneasin ass and anxiety in many re-
ports from Dublin during the past
few days. These have been accom-
panied by exortation for patience,
being based on the ground that me-
gotiations cannot be hurried and
may not be concluded for long
time.
Reports which are contradictory
come from Dublin and Belfast rela-
tive to steps between Ulster and
southern ireland. 1t has been sta
ted direct negotiations have been Of
fered by Sir James Craig and Eamon
de Valera, the Irish Republican Lead
er. 1t has been declared in other
quarters that no negotiations are In
progress, there being no one in Bel
fast to conduct them owing to ab.
sence of principal ministers on their
vacations.
A third rumor that negotiations
are in progress between Dublin and
Belfast being carried on through an
intermediary whose identity has not
been known, is also current. Re-
ports relative to the attitude OF Ui-
ster are contradictory. Some state
there is deadlock between Belfast
and Dublin.
Sir James Craig left London for
Belfast last night after receiving a
memorial from large number or
members from the house of lords
and commons to commemorate ms
resignation from the lower house.
In thanking the donors Sir James
said nothing to enlighten them re-
garding listers attitude.
whatever side the people of lre-
land or England take, absolutely
refuse to take any side except that
of Great Britain and the empire.
We who must take leading parts IN
+he difficult time would be foolish 10
say a single word that might inter-
fere with the realization of peace
throughout Ireland. We are all ask
ing for peace in our own way, put
I believe is to be wise for every
body, especially the press, to say
nothing in the meantime. because a
slip even a jest, sometimes creates
much mischief" Sir James added.
Sir James emphasized his ad-
vice by example and it was impos-
sfble to obtain from him the least
confirmation of report that he was
returning to Belfast owing 10 the
Sim Fein having broached negotia-
tions with the northern Irish gov-
ernment.

LONDON, aug. 4.-The Irish sit.

1t had been believed that the par.

would not preclude the possibility OF

Out of these conflicting reports
