Anna NiebeI, D. c. Girl, Says
Loss Of Her "Hick Lover"
Is Worth $4,000.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Congress-
man Manuel Herrick of Oklahoma,
who recently bemoaned that "a peck
of siley and gidey" Washington girls
were clamoring for his hand, for
tune, and good looks, was let in late
yesterday for several pecks of trou-

IN lieu of his hand, fortune, and good
looks.

Miss Niebel, now with the 'Ziegfeld
Fol1es' and living at 1856 West Forty
sixth street, was one of the forty.nine
girls entered in a Washington news
paper beauty contest to whom Her
rick wrote he was offering himself as
the prize to the best of the forty.nine.
Her attorney, Oscar l.. Meyerson.

the action.
Miss Nlebel today told a correspon-
dent of The Washington Times that

many congressman, said she didn't

Herrick, who was poured into n

The other congressman to whom the
bill was introduced never followed mn
the acquaintance.
The measure resulted in disclosus~

Washington contest The brother OF

far as the census statistics show, no
soy-hean oil was manufactured in this
country in 1919 or 1920, although sew
eral western oil mills and southern
cotton-oil mills crushed both import

THE PAPER MAKERS

1t is reported that the Germans
are making a superior grade of print
paper from the long grass which
grows SO rankly in the swamps and
along the river beds of their country.
At the same time sugar and alcohol
are being extracted from the roots.
The company holding the patents for
this process is being paid large sum
by the Rumanian government to free
the swamps of that country of this
grass and make drainable lands. At
the same time the company is manu-
featuring fine paper from the waste
and is thus making double profit.
Any continuance Of the paper short
age will develop new processes and
substitutes without number. Paper
can be made from a lot of things
that are still considered absolute
waste. The time may come when
moonshine will be compressed and
fabricated so that poets may write
their odes upon it. AS it is, some of
them are accused of using liquid moon
shine as their inspiration.

E DITTO RIAL
SHOT TO PIECES

Socialism seems shot to pieces. Its failure in
Russia is admitted, and the system set up by the
master-opportunist Lenine is accordingly in pro-
cess of being transformed into state-controled
Capitalism That Russian failure has had de-
pressing effect in every other country. In the
United States, added to the unpopularity into
which Socialism fell during the war, it seems al
most to have dealt the Socialist Party death
blow In city after city, in this last election, the
Socialist vote fell almost to the vanishing point.
In peace as in war, this system formerly held
up as a perfect scheme for the regeneration of
society, has been found wanting. Its failure I'M
der the extreme MARKHAM form tried out by Len
inc has been so patent that Socialists find it in
creasingly hard to defend their doctrine, and mil
lions of former converts friends have lost faith
1t may be that Socialism as a definite scheme of
economics and government has really received its
death blow. 1t rather looks that way now in
spite of the pretenses still kept up in Russia and
Germany. And there is little to lament in this
prospect, even on the part of those we'll disposed
toward Socialism as philosophy.
Like every system that has ever won large num-
bers of adherents, it had good in it along with
the bad In these late years, especially during the
war and since governments have been borrowing
from Socialism AS with all disintegrating sys-
TENS. it may be expected that the best features
will live, though in disguise, and the worst will be
forgotten.

PENNIES ARE BUILDERS

tuberculosis kills every third per-
son between Is and go.
This terrible creeping disease last
year killed $4,000 Americans. The
figures would have been 10000, if it
had not been for the active fight
against tuberculosis that started 20
years ago.
Healthers say that the war against
tuberculosis is saving at least $4,000
lives a year.
The greatest weapon in this war
fare is the Red Cross Christmas
Seal. The Red Cross this year wants
the public to buy 932,000,0O0 of these
stamps. The public should respond
by buying 10 times that many.
Unemployment and housing con-
gestion are powerful allies of the
tuberculosis germ. The need for a
big sale of Red Cross Seals this year
is greater than ever before.
Put seal on every letter and parcel
you. mail. Make it more-two or
three. Thereby you will save lives
and protect yourself against tuber-
culosis.
Remember that every Christmas
seal you buy is bullet fired at man
kinds greatest enemy.

THE NEWSPAPER

! never took . newspaper that did
not pay me more than | paid for it.
One timcsan old friend Of mine start
ed a newspaper way down south and
sent me a copy and subscribed for
it just to encourage him and after a
while it published an order to sell
a lot and told friend to run it up
to $50. He bid it off at $38 and sold
it in less than a month for 500, so
| made $62 just by taking that paper.
My father told me that when he
was young man he was a school
director He read in a newspaper
that young lady in another state
wanted a school. So he sat down and
wrote to her to come and teach their
school. She came. She was pretty
and smart and my father fell in love
with her and married her. That was
my mother. Now if he had not taken
that paper what do you suppose would
have become of me? | would not
have been at all--Bil Arp.

A jon For THE LEAGUE

The League Of Nations faces few more puz-
cling problems than that raised by the old con-
troversy between Bolivia and Chile which has
just been brought to the attention of the Geneva
tribunal Bolivia is pleading for an outlet to the
sea- and the Chilean assembly is on the warpath,
protesting vehemently against the neighbor
states appeal ito organisms foreign to our SOW
ereignty."
Back in 1884, after an eminenty successful war,
Chile helped herself to the Bolivia province of
Atacama, with its Pacific coast line and its inval-
liable nitrate and guano beds. The feeber nation
lost its window on the ocean, and there has been
ill-feeling since. Even the national churches,
sharing political preiudices have quaTeled over
clerical jurisdiction.
Now Bolivia appeals to the judgment of the
nations and the Chilean government considers
obtaining clear statement regarding the in,
tentions of the Bolivian government" The threat
Of war is i-concealed.
The Leagues handling Of this vexed question
should serve to indicate its capacity for the work
it has to do. There are dozen more awaiting
authoritative consideration and determination.
