WARNING TO PANAMA

Washington, Aug. 21.-The United
States has informed the government
of Panama that as friendly mediator
between Panama and Costa Rica in
their boundary dispute, it does not
feel impelled to suggeyt" that Costa
Rica delay longer taking jurisdiction
over territory now occupied by Pan
anna by Panama and which was ad-
judged to belong to Costa Rica by
the. terms of the Loubet award
The position of this government
was stated in a note transmitted by
Secretary Hughes to the government
of Panama on August Is and made
public today by the state department.
Mr.. Hughes said it was to be regret
ted that the two governments had
found it impossible to agree and that
Costa Rica had advised the United
immediate jurisdiction over the terri
tory in question.
This announcement was issued by
the statement:
The department of State, under
date OF August IS, 1921, instructed the
American minister at Panama to
communicate a note to the govern
ment of Panama of which the follow
ing is the text:
The government of the United
States has received the note address,
ed by the government of Panama on
August to the American minister in
Panama replying to the communica-
tion handed by the minister on Au-
gust ., to the government of Panama
by instruction of the government Of
the United States in which were
transmitted the requests of the gov
eminent of Costa Rica relating to the
! boundary dispute between the Re-
publics OF Panama and Costa Rica.
After the most careful considera-
ton of the statements contained in
the note of the government of Pan
anna above referred to, this govern
ment has reached the conclusion that

finest business structures in town, and
at midnight was still smouldering.
Just where the blaze started or what
caused it is unknown. The Bonnet
Shop, owned by the Bouchard sisters.
and the candy kitchen and shoe shin
ing parlor owned by the Hulares
brothers were quickly filled with
smoke and the stock in both places
was practically ruined. The Bonnet
Shop was one of the finest millinery
establishments in Maine and the stock
a costly one.
Smoke and water also damaged the
goods in the basement of the Blunt
Hardware Co.'S store, which extends

DOMINION STATUS
MAY YET SOLVE
IRISH QUESTION

Dublin, Aug. 2I-(By the ASSoclat-
ed Press) Nearly all the members of
the Dali Eireann cabinet met today
for the purpose of making final plans
for tomorrow's secret session of the
parliament.
Harry ]. Boland, representative of
Eamon de Valera in the United
States, was one of the callers on Mr..
De Valera at Mansion House this aft
ernoon.
The cabinet meeting was prolonged
and this fact caused much specula-
tion. Sunday meetings of this char
acter are unusual, and because of its
length the supposition was that those
in conference were occupied with the
arrangements for tomorrows private
meeting of the Dali Eireann at which
reply to Premier Lloyd Georges Of
fer will be considered. 1t is not
known how long the debate in the pri-
vate session will last. since it is not
known how many of the $50 members
of the Dali Eireann desire to be heard
Tuesday was fixed some time ago for
a meeting of the executive committee
of the Sim Fein organization repre-
senting the Sim Fein clubs through
out the country. Many leading depu-
ties of the Dali Eireann also are
members of the executive committee.
This organization is illegal and the
governments permission for the Dali
Eircann to meet does not cover it. 1t
is net expected. however, in the pres
ent circumstances the government
will interfere with the meeting. The
publicity department has not yet
stated whether the Dali Eireann will
adjourn over Tuesday or whether the
executive committee will postpone its
meeting

peace questions and still is uncertain
as to where the peace discussions are

ings Of The Dali Eireann. has supplied
all expressions of optimism and in
tervals Of something closely akin to
hopcfulness. But on the eve of an
other week the situation in the peace
negotiations remains apparently just
where it was.
Mr.. De Valera said that the terms
offered by tie British government are
unsatisfactory and Premier Lloyd
George declared that the British gov

demands of the republicans. AS to
these demands, some close observers

''RUMMY" JOKE
ON THIRSTY GROUP
OF PORTLAND MEN

Portland. Me, Aug. 20-About a
dozen prominent Portland business
men, SO it is reported on good
authority, had a rude awakening
early today when they discovered
they had paid prices for Sebago wa
ter that make the cost of some of the
most widely advertised mineral wa
ter look practically small.
For 95 gallons of the stuff that
they a.d their fellow citizens drink
every day, they paid a slick stranger
the sum of $4,000, believing at the
time that they were purchasing
good liquor"
The story as revealed today, is
that one week ago a very dapper
looking young man appeared in the
Office of one Of the business men and
explained that he was in the bust
ness of selling high grade liquor. He
declared that he was not a pocket
pedler, but had 300 gallons of high
class whiskey stored in a house in
the Stroudwater section which he
wished to dispose of. AS an evidence
of good faith, he urged that com
mittee of five be named to come to
the rendezvous and sample the stuff
then cart it away if everything was
satisfactory.
The proposition looked good, and
on Friday word was passed that the
liquor was ready for inspection The
committee motored out to the desert
ed house, several others accompany
ing them, and guided by the strang-
er they climbed the creaking stairs
to the room where the kegs of stuff
reposed.
The samples proved all that could
be desired, and smacking their lips
the Portland men returned home
with their kegs and put them away
in their cellars. Then came the
awakening.
One Of the business men was going
soon on vacation and so he decided
to draw off a supply from his kee
for fish bait and sickness. Openine
the keg he was Mortified to see moth.
ing but pure Sebago water come
from the spigot. Telephone calls tc
other members of the party were
made, and everyone Of the pat.
rons of the bootlegger discovered
that the sip which he took from one
keg out in the Stroudwater house
had cost him a large sum.
Then there was weeping. wailine
and gnashing of teeth, but there Is
no remedy for the situation. The
Stroudwater house. it became known
today, was hired by the bootlegegrs
and some companions on the pretext
that they were to bring their fami.
lies here from Boston for a vacation
stay.
The purchasers are still wondering
where the excellent tasting" sam
pies came from. 1t is reported that
the salesman had pint Of real stuff
in bottle, concealed in his clothes
and this was fed through a hose to
the top of the kegs

Claims to Transplant Eyes.

New eyes for old can be given blind
creatures, claims young Hungarian
zoologist. He says he can transplant
sound eyes from living creatures to
others that are blind. Before the
Vienna Biological society he said that
he had experimental first with fishes
and frogs. and then with rats, moles
and other small animals. He had OBJ
served that fishes which had lost their
sight sometimes lost also the cOlOring
Of their bodies. BY replacing their
blind eyes with sound ones taken from
another living creature, he had re-
stored their sight and their coloring
too. Frogs, when they became blind,
gave up seeking food, but with their
new eyes were as diligent as ever in
this respect. Professor Kolmer de-
clared that he had examined some of
the eyes transplanted by Koppanyi I'M
der the microscope and had found
them normal.

MENUS OF TOWN AND FARM
Statistics Supplied by Department
Of Agriculture Reveal Rural Con-
ditions Notably Satisfactory.

"How are the folks on the farm
faring?" is a question that is answered
with every well, thank you," by the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington. Looking into the average
American farm method Of living, the
department finds that the farmers are
as generously supplied with meat as
any other class of people, observes
Gus Karger in the Cincinnati Times
Star. Strangely enough, they don't use
eggs as abundantly as the folks else
where, but they use more milk, even
where there are fewer than the aver
age number Of children.
Except in Southern states, where
"quick" breads are often preferred,
wheat bread is the staple. A relative
ly large proportion of starchy vegeta-
bles Is consumed and relatively
small quantity Of the green and sue
culent kinds, in spite Of the fact that
farm families have the best oppOrtun-
tiles for growing vegetables at home.
The studies of the home economics
division Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture "bear out the general impress
sion," the report states, that on the
average the farmers families have an
abundant diet, with enough different
kinds of food to insure good health.
Whether the food Is well cooked and
attractively served the studies do not,
show. The fact that almost twice as
much cooking fat was used by the
farm families as by the general aver
age indicates that farm housewives
are inclined to cook too many foods by
frying. The only recommendation Is
that II would be well for the farmers
to use more eggs, more coarse cereals,
and a greater variety Of vegetables
and fruits, especially more green
vegetables.

Why Radio Appeals. :

There was a time when wireless
telegraphy appealed only to the So
called amateur and his interest was
rather directed toward the technical
end than the mere pleasure Of gather
ing messages out of the air for what
ever they were worth, With the es-
tablishing Of government radio reports
and q number Of radio telephone
hroadcasting stations throughout the
country, radio reception becomes
matter of considerable interest to
everyone, especially persons In remote
districts who are ordinarily more or
less out of touch with the world at
large. Today the farmer, the business
man in the small village, the camper
and others can use simple receiving
set and keep posted on what is going
on In commerce, politics, sports, stock
and bond market, and even religion
