Marquis Curzon, the British Foreign

France that she is pursuing policy

prepared TO oppose France unless the
latter follows more closely the path
which Britain thinks she should fol-

The proceedings oe the Washington
conference have disclosed differences OF
opinion between Fraaee and Britain Ia
which the whole world is Interested.
The differences became apparent after
the French Premier's speech and Mr..
Balfours reply. with tho greatest
anxiety the French awaited what Mr..
Baifour would say on land srmaments
at tho conference. and when his remarks
betrayed no open opposition to Frances

OF open dispute on .h.s subject was

bills and questioning John Joloneck
Of 36 st. Marks place, carpenter,
who was said to have done work IN

OF his regular bill heads. a Janitor,
Michael Husarel, said Greenly had
sent him out TO have bill heads printed
bearing names cf various repairmen,
cleaners. &c. Husarek asserted that
practically all OF the repair work and
cleaning in the house had heen done By
him. and Greenly had paid him little
extra for this service, burt on t:ese
occasions Grecnly would make out n
bill to himself for $50 or s75. Husarek
said he rarely got more than $40 for
these special jobs
One item submitted. by Greenly was
500 for broon,s. mops. soap, asc cans

but he did not know the amounts speci-
fed in them. According 10 Greenly's
accounting Jolonecls had received s737.l5

Lord Curzon's address was directed'
primarily to the Washington Confer

clearly an intimation to France of the
effect of that country's attitude to-

said Lord Curzon. IF any one Power
tries to steal a. march on another and
conclude an arrangement on its own
account" (This referred 10 the
French treaty with the kemalist
Government at Augara, which have
evoked hostile British comment.)
The speech, which occupied only
half an hour in delivery but was filled
with striking matter, was remarkable
for the expressed determination to
bring Germany into the comfy OF
nations and for its enunciation Of
Great Britain's duty in the new world
which succeeded the war.
Abiding 10 the new struggling ma
tions which have arisen from the
ashes OF Germany. Austria and Tur-
key. Lord Curzon said:
We. as one Of the great Powers,

tion OF these new nations Therefore
1t devolyes upon us TO do our best to
| curb their rivalry. help their progress
and make them instruments not of
renewed disturbance and warfare but

In the justice of her cause.
1T consists in the fact that the con-
] science of the world and the combined

one would deny that the steps taken
at Washington marked O grea. and

accordance to well-known principles,
boiler explosions would be of rare

''In an effort to secure the univer-
sal adoption of this code in this coun-
try the Uniform Boiler Law society
has been organized and has done a
great deal more good than shows in

that have actually adopted the code.
in promulgating an understanding of
it and creating a sentiment in its ia
vor that will result in rapid falling

The statement indicated that the
National Board of Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Inspectors is working on sew
eral problems designed to preclude
boiler explosions These include an
interstate inspection and the stamp
ing of boilers by the manufacturers.
The latter plan is intended primarily
to keep a record of a boiler from the

The fact that 625OOO bottles of Tan

than one year ago. is a big business
item that will attract unusual atten-
ton throughout the entire East, for
nothing like 1T has ever happened be-

that the preparation was now selling
in their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate of approximately 500,-
