 It was only one of the many little thoughtful things Dcky is forever doing, and I could have slapped Bess Dean for her moCking drawl as l obeyed his signal:
 How touching. And-how in- trepid" she said, while Ted chuckled as he did at every utterance of hers. "The Dickybird's got it on me. l wouldn't care to stand in front of a car that way with--any woman driv- ing"
 The pause before "any woman" was so significant that no one could mistake her intention to slur my driving ability. Dcky evidently did not hear her, and Fred was too shy, Ted too absorbed in Miss Dean to make any comment upon her little speech. But Pa Cosgrove's voice rose Indignantly;
 That's a libel upon darned good driving. I'd stand in front of Mrs, Graham's car any day whether she was going five or fifty miles an hour
 Send me an invitation to the in quest" she retorted laughingly, and we all laughed with her. for Bess Dean, when she sees she has gone toe far with a sheer, has the faculty Of taking the sting out of anything she has said by some absurd remark which puts every one in good humor. It makes it impossible for any one who does not know her well to be- lieve that she meant anything but an innocent jest in the first place.

This Move Plans to Protect Public From Solicitors Who Are Unauthorized.

An official ban on all collections of land has been placed by the Irish Re public in a cabIegram addressed to Stephen O'Mara, head of the Irish Diplomatic Mission to the United States. The cablegram reads: "In order to safeguard our generous friends in the United States, will you please make it known to the Amer1- can public that the use of Ireland's s name in soliciting funds is unauthor- ized unless our representative at sanction The cab1egram is signed "OBrennan, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs" The aI1-inclusive character of the ban was emphasized in a communication sent by MT. O'Mara to the National Hibernian, the official organ of the A. O. H., in which after quoting the cab1egram MT. O'Mara states: This order will apply not alone to future collections, but to all societies whatsoever that have been collecting in the past"
 = Unusual precautions have been taken by the Irish Mission to see that the ban receives utmost publicity. in order that the American public may be protected from solicitors for funds who pretend to be collecting for Ire land At a meeting of the national d1- rectorate of the American Association for Recognition of the Irish Republic recently held in Chicago, stress was laid on the evils resulting from unau- thorized collections by such organiza- tions as the White Cross and the Gel tic Gross:

II.
 Today's meeting was designed to do no more than scratch the surface of the problem ahead of the American Secretary Hughes, head of the dele gation to permit of preliminary sur vey of the situation and of a general outline of the things to be done; his ideas throuhg MT. Hughes and memoranda were available covering various points of technical informa- tion but personal interviews with the President and with military and naval experts were part of the delegahon's plan during it's period of preparation. Some hint of the Presid ent's hopes of the armament conference were given as the delegates were assembling by publication of a letter the President he work for universal disarmament" Absolute disarmament, MT. Harding wrote was beyond hope of realiza- tion'' and perhaps not even desirable, but a reasonable limitation of armament was practical proposi- ton with some hope of accomplish ment. N

 WaIer Walsh, of New Haven, who with Henry J.

Walsh and Ca1nen for more time to prepare for trial of their client In view of all the circumstances, how ever, he urged that as speedy trial as possible be had. 4-.
 Judge Wolfe then set Nov. as the tentative date for the trial.

Malone, of Bris- tol, counsel for Jacob Wrinkle, who pleaded guilty yesterday to conceal ment of stolen automobile express ed the belief that his client was held in too high bail and asked that the bond of s50,oOO be reduced in view of the fact that his client had pleaded guilty.

This was the first difficulty faced by the conferees, the assumption by the Dail of the functions of govern ment in Ireland having caused much irritation here. Actual outbursts or conflicts with the crown forces are regarded as less serious than the vir- tual ousting of the British authorities by the Sim Fein courts and police, as the crown forces cannot, without breaking the truce, take active meas ures against this policy on the part of the Sim Fein- Under the terms of the truce, the crown forces must not carry arms, which the British government alleges the Sim Fein- CTS do. Eamon J. Duggan. who serv- ed as chief Haison officer in Ire land, is acting for the Sim Fein in this matter, and A. W. Cope, Assist ant Under Secretary for Ireland were originally signed the truce, has come to London from Dublin to advise the governments representatives
 The Sim Fein which has carried out religiously it's agreem ents, regard ing publication of the proceedings on the conference, complained this morn ing that there had been leaks on the government side and said this was another matter which they shall de-

State May Not Have To
 Issue Bonds

Hartford, Oct. Estate Treasurer G. H. Gilpatrick told the state board of control yesterday that present indi- cations were that it may not be neces- sary to issue three millions in bonds authorized by the last General Assem-. bly, to meet possible deficits for the current fiscal period. Revenue which is in sight from sources outlined by legislation may make the issue entire ly unnecessary, the treasurer said. If bonds have to be issued the time of such issuance will probably be very late in the fiscal year.
