WASHINGTON, Nor. u.-Premier
BRAND says he is going to tel the women
Of France when he goes back how splend-
idly votes for women" seems to be work
ing in America and that American women
are not only gaining their rights but
retaining all their privileges as well.
Because Of his own personal belief IN
opening up new fields of endeavor for
women, Premier BRAND, head Of the
French delegation to the Washington
conference, granted an exclusive inter-
view on this subject to your correspon-
dent in his suite at the Willard. He Is
so nice and jolly with a merry twinkle
il his eye that one feels like asking
him any question whatever without pre-
Hminaries. He is rather short but with
very broad shoulders, giving the impress
sion Of great power and decisiveness. In
real life he does not possess that fierce
IL black hair and mustache newspaper
photographs attach 10 him.
Instead he has grayish hair, worn
rather long, with expressive blue eyes
and a rosy complexion as If he had just
been walking for hours on the wind
blown shore Of his native Brittany.
asked him three questions in partcu-
lar. They were:
why don't French women get the
vote like us?"
why didn't you bring along some
French women, at least among your ad-
visory committee, like America ?"
do you believe in woman suffrage?
ONE OF FIRST TO
PRESS ISSUES.
He answered the last question first
by repeating it.
do you believe in woman suffrage?"

dress in its favor when the chamber
passed it in 1919. But more than that,
I was one Of the first in France to ad-
vocate votes for women"
Then he answered the second and third
questions in one.
THE reasOn French women don't have
the vote is because they don't want it
badly enough. That is really why the
senate will not pass the measure. There
are no women in the French delegation

Creek, baited two big hooks with meat
to catch turtles.
Examining the hooks later, he found
the bait intact.
So he twirled the lines, preparatory
to casting them into the stream again.
They caught in a tree and he left them
there.
Next morning, two large owls were
found hanging to the lines, having been
caught while nibbling at the meat.

DR.. BARTON'S
DAILY LETTER
THE ART OF CONSERVATION.
By DR.. William E. Barton.

IN a recent novel, severely criticiz
ing American village life, the foh
lowing paragraph is included in d
description of one of the social
events of the town which is the
scene of the story:
She discovered that conversation
did not exist in that town Even al
this affair, which hbrought out the
young smart set. the hunting squire
set, the respectable intellectual set.
and the solid financial set, they sa,
up with gaiety as with corpse"
The evening produced five
stunts by as many members of the
village. The first was a recitation
of IAN Old Sweetheart of Mine,
followed by an encore in the Shape
Of "a peculiarly optimistic poem.
regarding the value Of smiles" The
others were, one Irish, one Jewish.
one Juvenile, and the last a parody
on Mark Antony's funeral Grafton.
The succeeding functions of the
season caused the heroine, who was
new to the village, to hear IAN Old
Sweetheart Of Nine nine times, one
Of the others seven times, and each
of the other twice. But when the
stunts were finished, the party in
SANITY sank back into coma"
The town did not have its jokes
even; it had its one joke which
varied ever so little to fit the slight
changes which the monotony Of life
made necessary.

Fourteen years later, after the Span ish-American war, Spain sold the Carolines, including Yap and Pelew and all of the Mari anne Uadrones) islands except Guam, to Ger many for $4200,000. The United States had acquired Guam from Spain in 1898. It is 360 miles from Yap.
 The importance of Hap and Guam as cable bases is shown by the fact that today an all American cable runs from San Francisco via Honolulu, Guam and Manila to Shanghai while from Guam another cable the southern part under American control, the northern under Japanese, goes direct to Yokohama. The former German cable runs from Guam to Yap whence one lines goes to Shanghai and an other from Gap to McnadO in the Dutch East Indies. The Yap-Guam cable, it is said was of great service to Americans as it gave them an alternative to the Guam Manila cable for communication with China.
 When the great war began, Japanese naval forces seized the IIadronc, Pclcw and Caroline islands, including Yap, and held them until Japan was made their mandatory. Germany m accepting the Treaty of Versailles. re- nomccd her cables in the Far Fast in favor of th" Allied and Associated Powers and tho final aocation of them among the powers was the object of the international Commun,ca. tons Conference in Wnshington.

Till Doubt begins
By PAUL. HAYDEN

Till Doubt begins
 No Progress sure is possible Accept no Fate certain, If Eagles fly not high above your standard It may be you camp in marshes and your feet Have never trud the mountain tops, Where eagles fly The fault of little men Is this They see the victory that comes To others call, but never question Why it is not theirs.
 When distant views no nearer come by travelling Blame not the horizon, but your own feet For wearing endless circles in their quest While out across the plain The long, straight road leads on. To wander slow in pleasant paths Is luxury the march is hard; But only by the march is progress made The brook which slips along, in sylvan shade To reach the Sea, must pass the sun burned plain The waterways of trade; he banked and walled By factories stgined green with acid slime And all the offal of drab industry But if the course is held. though tortuous. II sweeps into the sun-lit sea at last And all the weary wanderings of the way Achieve their end.

Considerable space would be need,

Post System. Their claims nave

AS far back as 1912, imm ediately
after his scheme for letter postage
had been ado pied Hill began an agi-
tation for post transportation OF
packages. But the authorities would
not listen to him. They waited for

Shortest Apple Crop
In Twenty Years

Maryland's apple crop promises tC
be the smallest in the rast twenty
years as effects of the early Spring
freeze and comparatively recent hail
storms in a number of apple-grow-
ing sections are becoming increas-
ingly evident.

sion Service and secretary OF the

mates Department Of Agriculture.
indicate 2O.6 per cent crop, COM
pared to an estimated crop of 70 per
cent for last year. This is the small
est crop forecast for the State since
1900 and is less than half of the
light crop of 1913 which previously
marked the lowest apple production
during the past twenty years.
Reports of the probable damage
to the apple crop. following the
severe cold weather of the carly
Spring, were considerably at vari-
ance, but most authorities on the
subject were convinced that early
predictions were little more than
speculations and that only later on
in the year would it be possible to
get an approximately estimate of the
States production. Many of the ap-
pies which formed and seemed to be
free from damage earlier in the sea-
son are now dropping from trees,
according to Mr.. Shaw, thus indicat-
ing injury not sufficient to kill the
bud but serious enough to cause a
heavy reduction in the crop. In
some sections of the State destruc-
tive hail storms have completely wip-
