Public Markets For All the Large Cities

T. ESTABLISHMENT of central mar
L kets for perishable food products
in all large cities, and the setting up
of a federal licensing system applica-
BILE to all dealers in such foods at those
markets, is proposed by the federal
trade commission in its annual report
to congress.
The commissions conclusions are
based on an investigation covering
many months, and it declares that fed
eraI action is necessary to obtain eff
fective regulation and to avoid unfair
and wasteful practices with the conse-
quent effect on prices.
In the present system the commits
sion sees as hindrance to the proper
passage of perishables from the pro-
Queer to the consumer certain inter-
trade dealings which, it believes,
should be eliminated, and it suggests
that the handling of these products be
surrounded by numerous regulations
and restrictions, such as the recording
of available supplies, the dating of
cold storage periods, and provisions

Women Demand the End of Militarisn

WOMEN demand an end of mill
w tarism and world disarmament.
Holding an unheralded demonstration
at the monument of Benjamin Frank
lin, Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette, wife
of the Wisconsin senator; Mrs.
Charles Edward Russell, wife of the
Socialist writer, and others, delivered
addresses, calling specifically for
wholesale reductions in the appropria-
lions for the United States army and
navy, and for disarmament generally.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Woman's Peace so
ciety, and the speakers said they were
voicing the sentiment of the women
of the country. The keynote of the
meeting was to urge the Brooks reso-
luton, now pending in the house, call
ing for a conference of the nations in
Washington to lay plans for disarma-
ment.
Mrs. La Toilette declared the WON
en- of the country would use their
votes to defeat senator's and repre-
sentatives who stand for militarism
and war;

said. "On the issue of militarism we

"GALLERY GODS HAD POWER
Actors Respected Those Who Sat
Among the Clouds in Old Drury
Lane Theater, London.

Nearly every American has at some
time in his career, generally the ear
lier part of it, been a gallery god"
That is to say, he has seated himself
high in the topmost gallery of the
alter, to follow with tenseness the adj
ventures of the heroine and hero.
How he obtained his title of gallery
god" is matter that goes back a
great many years, to the old English
Drury Lane theater in London.
The theater was decorated in a
somewhat giddy manner, with cupids
and cherubs scattered about in care
less confusion. To carry on the motif
of airy summer days peopled with
lightsome creatures of fairy gardens,
the decorators painted the ceiling a
bright blue, and then placed puffy
white clouds here and there to repre-
sent the sky, with the Sinking faces
of wee angels and fairies peering out.
The gallery was built to get
money, and not to give any particular
comfort to those who paid their penny
or so to sit there, so that the heads
of the gallery sitters were in reality
among the clouds. The actors had a
great respect for this gallery, never
theless, for its displeasure was mani
tested by booing in no uncertain tones,
and the combination of painted sky,
and the desire for the approval of
the gallery provided the phrase "gal-
lery gods.''

drew the draperies close, and returned
to the chair before the portrait.
Reverie led her insensibly back to
memories of the Street of Strange
Faces whose dim reaches stretched
away indefinitely behind that painted
shape of dream. The effect of return
to old associations grew strong, she
could vertically see, she could almost
smell and hear the Street
She knew a period of mental uncer-
tainty, of daze and wonder, out of
which grew the sensation she had once
before experienced of confusion or
identity with the woman in the por-
trait. Inexplicably something impalp-
able yet essential seemed to go out
from her to the other, with whose
spiritual essence 1t blended intimate
ly, so that for the moment she had no
true existence save upon that painted
surface, where she paused, hesitant,
doubtful, confused, as on some dark
strange threshold, before passing on
and away into vague half world, a
place of vast and shapeless spaces
where there was neither light nor
darkness, wherein consciousness grew
faint and the sense of Self was blot
ted out entirely

Where u. S. and British Colonies Agree

London quoting Premier Lloyd George
as saying the alliance with Japan
would not be renewed until the colo
MES were consulted.
No steps have been taken by the
British dominions to present the pro-
posal to the State department.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee and Republican leader of
the senate, in a speech several weeks
ago in Philadelphia, made one brief
reference to the Japanese problem.
The paragraph suggested a union OF
the British dominions with the United
States in dealing with japanese immi-
grafton and land ownership, copy OF
which Mr.. Ledge said. found its way
into the British embassy here in an as
tonishingly short time. Because of the
AnglO-Japanese alliance there was
nothing official which the embassy
could do.
But high official of the govern
ment of Australia did not feel so ham,
pered. Moreover, he knew well that
the feeling in New Zealand and Cana
da was precisely similar to that in Aus
tralia and the United States. So he
wrote to Mr. Lodge commencing the
suggestion Of a league of English
speaking nations whose boundaries
touch the Pacific.

~. MERE PAINT AND CANVAS?

After one week of gadding about, of
shopping and theaterS and dances and
motoring, Priscilla felt quite fed up
with distractions. She wanted to get
back to her work, and wouldn't be
happy till she did.
And why not? she demanded when
she failed to get Philip on the tele-
phone and secure his professional per,
mission to return to her studio. "a
few days" of tritiing was all he had
stipulated; and those few had served.
She dreamed no more of Leonora or
Red Carnehan or Mario. Today, all
that, indeed, seemed remote and unim-
portant. What though she had dreamed
nightmare which conceded so mys-
teriously with actual events as to scare
her nearly out of her wits? After all,
1t was at worst a dream; and in this
delightfully."- substantial and matter-of-
fact world, condolences don't count
with anybody except noyelists hard
up for a plot.
She found Ada Meyer pottering with

of the morning giggling and gossiping,
carried her off to the Ritz for lunch
con, and left her there with some
friends who needed a fourth at bridge
an arrangement perfectly agreeable to
Priscilla; it was hard enough at any
time to settle down to work after a
spell of idling, it was the next thing to
an impossibility with Ada on the
premises.
The quiet of the empty studio was
soothing and grateful. Priscilla sighed
contentedly, wheeled the heavy easel
over to its stand beside the pier glass,
shrugged into a paint-smeared smock,
and in the next fifteen minutes did
nothing whatever but sit in chair
before the self-portrait, in stirless, in
tent study Of her work.
Again it seemed good in her sight,
decidedly the best thing she had ever
done; and yet she was dissatisfied
something was wrong, something was
missing without which it could not
prove convincing.
The head she must not touch, lest
one misjudged stroke mar the excel
lence of it's spirited gesture. Neither
could she see any way to improve her

RED SENT FOR ME-"

ynopsis.-Vaguely conscious OF a
double personality, but without any
idea of it's meaning, the girl, Leo
nora, makes her accustomed way
into the Street of Strange Faces
in the underworld of New York.
Mario joins her. Greatly in love
and seeing the fine qualities which
the girl really possesses, Mario
seeks to turn her from the path
of inevitable destruction. She prom
ises to marry him. At Ristorfs
cafe, gathering place of criminals,
Leonora meets her partner. Red
Carnehan, and his associates, and
is accused of betraying fellow
criminal to the police. She saw
agely defends herself. Police crash
into the room and two are killed
by Carnehan. Leonora and the rest
escape. In her studio, Priscilla
Maine, wealthy artist, awakes from
troubled sleep with a distinct feel
ing of having her life linked with
Leonora's. Priscilla has painted
picture of herself in fancy dress
a gipsy-which has a strange effect
on her. Unnerved, and fearful that
her mind is affected, Priscilla calls
to her aid dear friend, DR.. Philip
Fosdick, who is in love with her.
He is stunned to find that her
dream story of the police fight is
confirmed by the newspapers. Pris-
ella tells him about the mystery
of her mother, who died when she
was born. He sees the effect of
the painting and pronounces it a
case of auto-hypnosis. Priscilla
makes him promise not to go to
the police and he begins investi-
eating for himself.

Curb Market in Diamonds.

One of the most interesting open air
a week in Hatton Garden, London,
where shabby men, nearly all of them
Russians with long, shaggy boards and
worn overcoats, buy and sell hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of loose
diamonds. Although they look like
men who have scarcely penny to
their names, single transactions run
into large sums. They ask no quesl
tons; they keep no books; they know
diamonds, and they trust one another.
One of them will not lend another $50,
but without receipt he will give him
$4,000 worth of diamonds for a pos
sible customer.-Youth's Companion.
