LATTER DESIRES
10000 TONS OF
AUXILIARY CRAFT
President Harding Has In
terposed Hope That Diff
ference Over Minor
Points Will Not Be Per-
mitted to Obscure Main
Mission of the Confer
ence

Washington, D. c., Dec. "a (By the
Associated Press Conference dele
gates hoped to conclude at to-day's
session OF The full naval committee
their discussion Of the British propos
al for abolition of the sumbarine and
with decision on that issue to clear
the way for consideration OF the ques-
ton Of auxiliary tonnage allotment for
France under the limitation plan.
While the French delegates were
known to-day to have received addi-
tional instructions from Paris on that
subject, they apparently have taken
the position that the abolition propos-
al should be carried to a decision be-
fore they present for committee action
detailed figures on the submarine and
other auxiliary tonnage desired BY
France. This viewpoint appears to
have been approved by the other pow
ers.
In the long three -eornered debate in
which the submarine discussion was
carried forward in the naval commit
tee yesterday, however, Admiral DE
Won Of France already has strongly
intimated the position of his country
on the question Of auxiliary tonnage
in declaring that 10000 tons is the
absolute minimum for all the navies
L o1t Inn a ri nj
force" He expressed the opinion that
the conference could not reasonably
limit submarine construction at ALL
For the British group, yesterdays
debate was carried on by Arthur j..
.Halfour, head of the delegation, who
Miterated and extended arguments al
ready advanced by Lord Lee for abol-
ishment Of submarines, while Senator
Schanzer of Italy, the only other par
ticipant, further stated the opposition
of his country to such action at this
time and said the Italian delegation
felt the problem should be examined
subsequently in wider conference"
The unfinished business of the con-
ference shared the attention of dele
gates to-day with the new prominence
given the four-power treaty discussions
by President Harding's public state
ment late yesterday eharacterizing the
differences over Interpretation of the
pact as "unimportant." Declaring he
would ~offer no comment on the dis
putes which attempt to magnify the
differing constructions" of the treaty,
Ar. Harding asked that the lesser
questions of difference be not per-
mitted to obscure the central purpose
q the agreement to preserve peace.

After Having as Mysteriously Disap-
peared in a Newport
Home.

81 Newport, Dee. "a Government
bonds, bank books and negotiable
notes to the value Of $4,000, which
we're discovered yesterday morning 70
have mysteriously disappeared from q
safety deposit box, locked within an
other box, last night as mysteriously
re-appeared while the owner of the
house was out.
Who took the valuables and who re-
turned them is not known.
The box had not been opened by
Mrs. Stevens since November. Yester-
day morning she felt impelled to open
the box and was surprised to find its
contents gone. The tin box was en-
closed in wooden chest and the keys
to both were supposedly kept In safe
place. The keys we're found in their
usual place yesterday morning, having
apparently been untouched. Report OF
the robbery was made to the police.
Last night when Mrs. Stevens re-
turned from short distance she found
the missing valuables in conspicuous
place in room adjoining the room
where the box is kept.

LORENCE NORMAL ].
 ENROLMENT 800
Records Broken for Summer Session, With at Least
 Hundred More Expected

Florence June 9.--(Special. .)-All past records are broken by the enroll ment of over 600 pupils in the summer school of the State Normal college here, and Dr. H. J. willingham has announced that there will be at least 100 more before the end of the week. Quite a number who have reserved rooms in advance are late in arriving. Regular classroom work began Wednesday, and will be well under way by the beginning of next week.
 A new departure has been estab- lished in the erection of three large tents on the normal school campus to be used as classrooms, the room in the regular buildings being entirely in adequate to accommodate the large number of students.
 A commendable fact. according to the authorities. is the large number who are doing credit work this term. taking the entire Il weeks course in- stead of the regular six weeks teacher course.
 All dorrnitories are crowded and the boarding houses of the city are taxed to capacity and many private homes have been thrown open to the stu dents. The school authorities state, however, that all students will be pro- vided for.

Andrew" said Imogene, ,as she laid down her embroidery hoop. T am getting tired of city life. I am tired of the continual round of bridge. theatres, gossip and all that sort of thing and 1 wish we could go way out in the country some place and live in bungalow. l was read ing an article in a magazine the other day about man and his wife who did it, and they made a fine living in the poultry business"
 Easiest thing in the world to make a living in the poultry busi- ness--on paper" said Andrew. >"But, lovie dove, l will never be the cause of obliterating human life from this globe. It shall neer eb said that precipitated catastrophe beside which the delue of Noah's time was joke Never Never Never!
 What on earth arc you talking about?' asked Imogene.
 q am talking about this poultry nightmare" replied Andrew. Its an awful thing-on paper. I have l figured it all out--on paper. There i quick than by starting a chicken farm--on paper"
 The best way is to take 25 hens to start with. At the most conserva- tive estimate they will produce 200 eggs each per annum-on paper Thus, at the end of the first year you will have 5000 chickens, of which it is usual to eliminate 1000 roosters. which can be sold for $1.o00 -on paper This leaves you $1,000 and 4,000 chickens for your profit al the end of the first years season on paper.
 The second year you will get 800. .000 eggs from your 1000 hens and if you take off 100000 roosters and sell them for s1 each, at the end of the second year you will have a profit of s200,000 and 600,00o chick ens-on paper. Now, we will start In the second year with 120.000,0o( chickens, and they will lay
 stop that nonsense" exclaimed Imogene. You know l have no head for figures, and you are only making fun of mel
 Far be it from me to trifle with your feelings, my dear" said Andrew seriously, but you got your huncf to go into the chicken business ou, of a magazine, and I want to show you how easy 1t is to raise chickens Ion paper
 You can take the third year'' crop of120,0o0,0oo chickens, and b, following up that Isaac -begat-Jacot and Jacob begat- t-some- o ther- -fello VI chain of thought which we learned in the Bible. one can cover the worlt three feet deep in chickens in 1t years.
