during their limited stay in London it
we're better to assimilate as much
good, stodgy food as possible, rather
than to indulge in French delitacies.
The three were in faultlsss dinner

giving ofFense by speaking German
but stuck TO English even in casual
remarks among themselves. In fact. 1t
was the perfection Of their English
that made ono suspect that they must

was called and asked il the departing

night by the visitation of a bull be.
longing to Henry Thompson on the
lower end of Clark street. The bull
in his peregrinations spied two young
peouple seated in a hammock and
evidently did not approve of this pro.
ceeding. so chased the young man out
OF the yard and the girl into the
house. Mr.. Thompson was tele,
phoned for, but was not at home
Thereupon s. K. Lewis was applied
to, and he started after his bovine
majesty in an auto, accompanied by
the chief of police. They finally
rounded him up and got him into con,
tinement. 1t has been suggested that
hia bullship must have imbibed some
moonshine. Henry had better keep
his private stock where his four-foot.

What" asked Ignatius Innbaddl
do you think of this disarmament
business?"
THE what business?" asked Mrs.
Innbadd.
Disarmament" repeated Ignatius !:
this scheme to have all nations lay
down their arms and put an end td
war
It'll be a good trick If they cam
make 'em do it," remarked Mrs. lnn1
badd. I've heard that sort of chat
ter before. Is somebody pulling that
stuff again, and IL so. how come"
Acting on the initiative of Presi1
dent Harding, the major nations of
the world have agreed to attend dis
armament conference this fall" in
formed Ignatius. THE meeting Is to-
be held in some back lot in Washing-
ton under special permit from the
police. 1t ought to be real battle. :"
They should hold the conference
the same week that the American ln-
ventors' League convenes," replied
the wife. Il understand some Won
derful new guns, high explosives and
dreadnoughts have been designed and
that samples will be ready for all the
disarmament delegates at about that
time"
Il figure the fall trade in munitions
will be greatly boomed-in fact, 4
have a bunch the munitions men got
up the disarmament conference as a
fine way to get all the European buy
ers together in this country at one
time and thus save travelling expenses
for lotta drummers," said lgnatius.
Still, | may be suspicious. The con-
ference may be good thing. or
course il all the countries would lay
down their fighting equipment 81
would be wonderful thing
Laying down their shooting irons
would help some, but world wars will
never end until you get the secre-
taries Of state to lay down their type.
writer's and fountain pens snapped
Mrs. Innbadd. THE pen 10 not only
mightier than the sword, but is far
greater disturbing influence. And the
typewriter ribbon has started more
fights than all the pens and swords
OF the world put together. Are all
the big nations willing to disarm?"
They all profess they are" replied
Ignatius, but think it will be harder
to enforce disarmament than prohibit.
