ter, Jr., aged thirteen, the fortunate
youth. with his chum, Henry Rooter,
about the same age, begins the publica-
End Daily Oriole. Herbert's small cousin,
Florence Atwater, being barred from
any kind of participation in the enter
prise, on account OF her intense and nat
ural feminine desire to boss" Is frankly
annoyed and not at all backwar In say
ing SO. However, a poem she has writ
ten is accepted for insertion in the Oriole,

from the inexperience of the youthful
publishers in the art ~preservative." Her
not altogether unreasonable demand for
republication of the masterpiece, with its
beauty unmarried, are scorned, n the
publishers of the Oriole widens.
The Sunday following the first appear

chum. Patty Fairchild, pays her a visit
They are joined, despite Miss Atwaters
openly expressed disapproval, by Master
Herbert Atwater and Henry Rooter. Not
at all disconcerted by the GOODNESS of
their reception, the visitors and Miss
Fairchiid indulge In a series of innocent
Sunday games. Among them is one called
Truth." the feature of which is q con-
tract to write a question and answer
both to be kept a profound secret The
agreement is duly carried out.
Declining emphatically to participate in
any game with her cousin and Henry
Rooter, Florence is piqued by Miss Fair
child's open desertfon TO the enemy, her
erstwhile bosom friend apparently enjoy
ing herself immensely in the mpan Of
the visitors and leaving with them.

ATTACKED REPORT ON
 THE ALAND ISLANDS

Geneva, June 20 (By the A. P.).- Hjalmar Granting, former premier of Sweden, at today's session of the coun- cil of the league of nations, attacked the report of the allied commission which in vestigated the dispute between Finland and Sweden over ownership of the Aland Islands in the Baltic, He was particu- larly severe upon Judge Abram l. Elkus, the American member of the commission, who, he said, diminished the importance of his own mission and detracted from the prestige of his own decision by de- claring the AIand Islands question to be insignificant"
 M Granting demanded a plebiscite and declared naturalization of the islands was necessary for SweGen's security.
 c. J. A. Enckell. Finnish minister in Paris, recognized the Swedish nationality of the population. He reminded the council, however, that the king of Swe- den had promised in 1909 never to as- sert any rights over the island and that Sweden had recognized Finland's inde- pendence without reserve.
 In the afternoon the council took uu the German complaints against the Sarre valley governing commission. Later the council closed it's doors and decided tc make it's deliberations public only after all the representatives of the press had left Hague headquarters.

for the use of spirituous or vinous li- tours as medicine unless un emergency exists would prevent the further man. ufacture and importation of whiskey or spirituous liquors, but not alcohol, until the present supply is reduced to point where it would meet the needs for non beverage purposes and would give the courts in Hawaii and the Virgin stands jurisdiction to enforce the prohibition act.
 Senator Willis in a statement said his bill embodied uncontroverted issues in the Volstead supplemental prohibition bill now pending in the house and added:
 "The passage of my bill does Urot mean there is no need of the other pro- visions in the house bill but there is some division of opinion in this and l am introducing this bill in order to give congress an opportunity to meet the medical beer situation, which must be taken care of immediately if the brew cries are not to open up again"
 Informed of the introduction of the Willis bill, Mir. Volstead said:
 If it is passed in the senate I shall he glad to do anything I can to secure it's prompt passage in the house. That does not mean, however, that I intend to abandon the other provisions of the house bill, as l consider them of vita importance and necessity under the cir | cumstances.''
 If there should be a serious delay ir congress on the question, it was indi cated at the treasury department today that early consideration would be giver to the issuance of regulations providing | for the use of beer for medical purposes The regulations are ready, it was add ed, and could be issued quickly upon de cision to promulgate them.
