SUKIN WILL NOT PUSH WAR ON
 REDS

Tokio.-Nothing but a real and self-eXpressed desire on the part of the peasants and masses of the people of Siberia to overthrew Bolshevism will induce Atanan SeDlionov to take up arms once more against the troops of Moscow or it's allied government of the Russian Far Eastern Republic in Chita. says General Niko1ai Sukin, chief of staff of the diSbanded Sem lonov forces. who has arrived in To- kio after a conference with the fallen leader in Mukden.
 In spite of the fact that General Sukin brought with him and pre- scented to Ataman petition signed by some, S0.OCO refugees from Siberia now in Mongolia" which urged their former Rattle Leading Headman'' forces, Sernionov will take no inftia- tive nor will be recroSs the border to the north unless and until he is thor oughly convinced that most of the people in Asian Russia have experi- enced a thorough reyulsion of feeling against their, present government, says the General. If such an event have a potential armed force of ap- proximately 136,000 men, according to the estimates of his chief of staff. whereas the high water mark Of his army in the past was but 45,00O of whom only approximately 3O,OGO could be counted as actual combat tants-

countries More serious still, at tempted de-contro1 on an empty shelf, and the resultant panic of prices, may profoundly affect all producing fields in Cuba and the United States
 Investigation of sugar prices over a 10O-year period, MT. Babst declared, failed to show half as great a f1uctua- ton in one year as the drop from July l to December 31, 1920, during which sugar plunged from the high est quotations ever recorded to prices almost 20 cents a pound lower.
 Under the Lever Act, said MT. Babst, the refner was controlled and the producer gained control of the refined sugar market at a time when the demand vastly exceeded supplies. Prices mounted, distribution became demoralized and a spirit of hysteria was engendered in the domestic trade. The world was secured for sugar and it was found and imported to Amer ica- Many of these sugars were dis covered on arrival to be unfit, the speaker asserted, and later, payment became a difficult problem, resulting in attempted resa1es, which hastened the collapse of prices.
 MT. Babst presented figures to show that the "hysteria" of buying brought into America last year, 1,735,- 222,000 pounds of sugar more than in 1919. The total cost to the Amer ican people of all sugar consumed in 1920 he estimated at $1, ,50O, 900, 900 at wholesale quotations.

 company. but brought a hazardou

POLAND'S POOR INHABIT HUTS
 IN HILLS

lade1phia-Dugouts in the sides of hills or. in entertainments along the roads compose the only homes of thousands of refugees in Poland, say agents of the American Friends Ser vice committee who are distributing g American and other aid in that war devastated country.
 In the Tarnopol district, in Galician Poland over which territory the hur- ricane of war swept a dozen times, 2,S00 families are living in such dug puts, writes Harry Stevens, a Eng fsh Friend. who is working in Po- land
 He describes the land as scanned with trenches and disfigured by vast quanties of barbed wire. Hundreds of people are reported to be dying They have neither live stock nor farming implements. Their land was overrun by Russians, Austrians, Prussians, Turks and Bu1garians in the world war and afterwards by the Ukrainians and Bo1sheviki. Horses, cattle, poulty, farm tools everything was taken. The timber was cut down. their houses burned and ever school buildings destroyed.
 Describing the miserable condi- tions of thousands of refugees from Russia, some of whom have walked thousands of miles to reach their homes in what is now Poland, MT. Stevens wrote:
 Their clothing was pitiful to be- hold; ScarecrOwS- can boast of better. They wore homemade boots of plait- ed straw and an outer garment too thin and ragged to be patched. We asked them what they would do this winter and the answer was a shake of the head and a hopeless T don't know "
 MT. Stevens found the refugees 1iv- ing in dugouts. Six persons with their stoves and household goods were crowded into a hole in the ground measuring II by feet. A man and his wife were digging into a hill beside a road. They intended to build their home with a lean to of heavy basketwork and clay. While slept il the open despite the keen frost.
 One family of six was living under a canvas cover that had been the top of their cart. Another family of 13 lived in house 13 by feet built into a hill side
 Emphasizing the need of relief in Poland, Frederick J. Libby, writes: Crowded into huts and dugouts. subsisting on potatoes, cabbage and black bread that is made of every thing but flour; children clad in win ter in the one cotton garment of summer, they are predsined to fur nish victims in Sickening hosts for the epidemic (typhus) already upon them. Yet, even they are well off in comparison with the returning pill grims from Russia who are coming back empty-handed to their native land" ..

the sounds from the orchestra. ITS MERELY A BEASTLY BORE.
 Life isn't made up of twilight hours and twitters. It's made of hustle and laughter and planning and fresh air and food and common con tacts with common people. There's mystery and delight in that contact, but it's mighty well insulated.
 You've got to play the Common Game in the Accepted Way if you want to get at that delight. If you won't play the game you're a nuis- ance to yourself and everyone else and they'll presently stop thinking poetry about you and call the police. That's why triangle love affairs are a beastly bore. That's why we ought to stop talking romance about them.
 Preaching won't stop it though. Preaching seldom accomphshes any thing. You either make people feel important or you make them feel afraid and neither feeling gets them anywhere. Moreover there's no use in telling them that an outraged God is going to stop His work to make an example of them-because God won't back up your prophecy.
 What will really happen is much more sensible and effective. God won't roar and the world won't turn somersau1ts if you have a Triangle Affair. BUT PEOPLE WILL LAUGH AT YOU. And then they will begin to yawn when your name is mentioned. WHICH IS MY IDEA OF, HE'LL.

Puts Blame For
 Sugar Tangle On Government

New York-Responsibi for the famine and plenty in the sugar in dustry during 1920 and the resulting fluctuations of almost 20 cents a pound in sugar prices within six months was laid upon attempted the American Sugar Refining Com pany, at the annual stockholders meeting.
 This was an outgrowth, he said, of the passage of the McNary bill, pro- longing the life of the Sugar Equaliza- ton Board and the Lever Act, which continued the government s responsibility for supply, price and distribution of sugar throughout the year 1920.''
 ttAs result of attempted de-con- tro1, we have had famine and plenty, prices ranging from 4 $ cents to 24 F cents for duty-paid raw sugar and from 71A to 271a cents re1ners' list price for refined sugar, with financial wreckage from producers to grocers, not only in the United States, but in Cuba, Canada and many other foreigl

Listen, World!
By ELSIE ROBINSON.

I wish the world would stop preach ing horrible warnings at triangle love affairs" It only adds to their glamour and makes the participants think they're putting over something uniuue and heroic. Ever since writers first needed to eat they've been dec orating such affairs with literary fri descence until an "outlaw love" has become a sorta symbol of a brain that sssees beyond the stupid, common law.'' or "souls that seek a richer Iife'' and so forth.

Seasonable Appetizers.

Did you ever so to one of those
charming restaurants in Switzerland
where the tables are spread on bal
comics or terraces looking out toward
the snowy Alps, and have a tray OF
hors doeuvres passed to you that
made you feel like gorging on the
whether you had inclination Tor any
thing else or not?
Anyway, 1t Is a good enough plan
to remember that an appetizer does
much to make ones summer dinner
a success. Plan seasonable appetizers
Don't, Of course, forget little-neck clans?
But remember that other things than
CLAIMS are welcome. They are sea-
Soflable, to be sure. And many per-
sons probably like them better than
they like any other sort of summer
appetizer. But most of us like a
change.
Halves of muskmelon are good
dinner appetizer if the melons are
delicious. OF course, the European
way would be to serve thin section
of muskmelon. But our American
taste is for more substantial. and al
the same time simpler, appetizers
Therefore. your half muskmelon.
Cubes of watermelon. lightly busted
with sugar, are another delicacy worth
trying.
Any sort of cut-up fruit. such as
orange. pear and pineapple. with

LURE OF GLAZED MATERIALS
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

When manufacturers first waxed
cloth and cotton fabrics 1t was 1oF q
purely practical purpose. IL was "

doubtless the ducks back was tne
inspiration for this. Nature mad en-
dowed the duck with plumage SO
smooth and glossy that water slipped
from it, SO man contrived way 10
make cloth that would be as water
resisting. Thus before ever rubber
had been invented they waxed Iaplie
to make it as waterproof as possiole.
Now of course the waxed or clre
fabrics are bright and sleek ana
glossy merely for the sake OF appear
ance. AS matter of fact, tney are
not literally cire or Waxed. MoueIh
science has provided the manufac-
turers with process apparently more
convenient. And the fabric is seloom
really waterproof as result. some
times the cire finish is quite spoiled
l,y drops of water.
rThis year of grace 1921 might be
put down in the history OF costum-
ing as the year when the craze Tor
glazed materials was strongest. Gre
materials have been In favor TOT
several years, but this autumn gives
promise Of being the time when they
Will be seen in increased abundance.
We are not content to cire ordinary
fabric. Now we wax and varnish
everything that comes within reach
Of our hands.
Ostrich feathers as well as quills
come in for this treatment. II there
| is any fabric or type Of trimming
that cannot be offered in cire finish
this autumn then 1t must be that 1t
will not yield to the treatment. For
surely the manufacturers have tried
to give this high. bright finish to
everything within their reach.
There is strong pull at present
toward blacks that are dull and lack
luster. This effect you get from duve-
tyne and from velvet. which is COM
ing rapidly to the fore as an autumn
and winter fabric
But the lustrous cire black still ap-
peals to many women as possess
ing more smartness and dash. That
it is still in favor you may see from
a sketch of little French frock
Just made Of black cire satin trim
med with lace collar and lace edg-
ing for the bottom OF the skirt. A
white satin petticoat shows beneath
the lace-edged satin skirt. The touch
of color that many women now con-
| slider so important with all black or
tlack and white costumes is added
here by string of large bright blue
beads.

Periodic attacks of "migraine" or

migraine the "sensory equivalent" OF

member of the family will suffer with

Of intestinal stasis he discovered that

A Touch Of Color.

The woman who is very pale need

to her appearance. There are ever SO
many clever little ways of giving
an effective color without actually
spreading a layer of it over the
cheeks.
For instance. there is the color Of
the costume. The pale or sallow girl
should never wear white. not even a
white waist. White has a deadening
effect. 1t can be the most beautiful
and it can be the most harmful color.
If you are too dark in complexion
white will make the skin darker: If
YOU are sallow 1t will increase the
sallowness: if you are pale it will
make the pallor CHASTITY; il you have
a bad skin it will emphasize every
blemish.
If you are sallew choose cream color

blouses. which almost seem to reflect
their tint in the face. If you are a
brunette. or If you are very sun
burned so that the skin is darker than
you wish. never wear very dark or
