OF course, there is one thing that a

must have-the beloved ice cream.
No summer party seems complete

Button Wisdom.

Some one suggested the other day
that mems shirts would have soon
to be made buttonless because Of
the impending shortage of the sort
of shells from which buttons are
made. 1t was only an alarmist's sug-
gestion, however, and there really
seems TO be no actual danger OF
real dearth of buttons for some time.
The buttons already on hand in shops
and warehouses will probably bridge
over the gap until She condition in

Doubtless there would be some
people, however. who would welcome

the making of the buttonholes as

work. Then the woman whose wash

1t is usually worth while to go

PREM|ERS' CONFERENCE
 TO PASS ON GERMANY'S
 PLEA FOR MORATORIUM

ference between Premiers Lloyd George and M. Briand, on repara- tions. is described by the newspapers as the most fateful since the Yer sailles treaty was concluded.
 The meeting was arranged before Germany's official declaration of her inability to pay reparations install ments, and there is a disposition in some sections of the press to regard the German move as a maneuver to bring pressure to bear on this meet ing. This view is confined mainly to those newspapers known for theiy strong adovocacy of a firmer alli- ance between Great Britain and France. The general opinion is that the Wirth government has tried to meet it's obligations and that it will be necessary to grant Germany a delay of a few months, if not actual moratorium.
 According to the Evening Stan dard, Germany has offered to pay the allies on account the equivalent of ( 10000. 900 in January and e11.- 000,000 or ( 100000 in February. or about half the sums due
 That there are only two alterna- tives. is the common opinion here either to grant a moratorium or in- sist that Germany Is able to pay, the latter probably entailing the fall of the German government.
 It is thought that N )nday's meet ing might result iA another conven- ing of the supreme council speedily, because some decision to present to Germany must be made before the middle of January. when the install ment is due. Views, said to ema- nate from authoritative quarters. are expressed that the British govern ment would be ready to forego its claims on German pay nents already in the hands of the reparations com mission, the bulk of which is to come to England under the August agree ment, which France has not yet rati- fled. and also withdraws any obiec- tions to the Wiesbaden agreement il i France Is ready to take a course | more in accordance with the . eas oi the British government.

 Late today the sheriff received a letter signed Clan No. z, Ardmore, Okla" saying that an attempt would be made to take "the Smith boys from the jail"
 The five men charged with the shooting are Rev. Leon Julius Bap- tist minister of Healdton; John Smith, butcher of Healdton; J. A. Gillian, stock raiser of Ardmore; Jeff Smith and Curley Smith, both Of Wilson.
 Walter Carroll, relative of Joseph Carroll, and H. A. Hensley. both of Wilson, said to have been in the Carroll home at the time of the shooting, are being held for investi- gation.
 A preliminary nearing will be held early next week, it was said.
 AuliOIllICS Say tHGg dlc LII lAS opinion that the slayings were the outcome of visit by masked men to the Carroll home. Warnings had been given Carroll. who was said te have been a bootlegger, that he must stop ''or leave the country"
 The authorities say they believe the men went to give Carroll a fog ging and that Carroll had been in- formed and went to the door with g gun in his hand. Seeing the masked men he attempted to shoot, but was shot in the face. In the fight that followed John Smith was mortally wounded and Jeff Smith was shot in the left leg.
 The finding of Sims body cannot be explained, according to the police When found at what is said by police to be gathering place for the Ku Klux Klan, several masks were or the ground near his body.

HOUSE APPROVES TWENTY MILLION
 DOLLAR FUND TO RELIEVE RUSSIA
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA bill authorizing the president to spend $20, 100000 out of the funds of the United States Grain corporation for relief of the distressed and starving people of Russia. was passed tonight by the house, IA to 51.
 Opponents of the measure forced a roll call on the ground that the vote as announced did not include quorum. The roll call resulted 1S1 to Il and the bill goes to the senate.
 In two hours of debate over the measure the house attempted to chop it to pieces with amendments. The first test was on an amendment to reduce the amount from 20 million to 10 million which was defeated, IS to 60.

 There are conditions of distress in this country which would appal con- gress if l dared to relate them," he shouted
 When the time came to receive amendments more than a score of members demanded recognition. In the midst of them Representative Goodykoontz. Republican, West Vir- ginia, stepped forward with a new paragraph which would direct the president to spend 100000 900 for re- lieving distress among the starving, hungry and unemployed citizens of of the United States" It was howled down on a point of order, but the representative stood his ground.
 After that. amendments were of- fered in rapid succession only to be knocked down. About all that was tackled on to the bill was direction that grain for the Russians be pur- chased in the United States and sent to Russia in American bottoms and direction that a report of all expen- ditures be made to congress by the end of next year.
 The house refused to include Ar menia in the relief area It also re- fused to designate the area as the Volga region or Russia, as she stood geographically prior to the war.

Show Ruin Would Result


 The ground covered at the hearing in Phoenix was not as broad as that in the Chicago and San Francisco hearings, though some testimony as to all of the points brought up there was offered casually. The testimony was confined chiefly to the ruinous effect of the proposed discriminatory rates upon the intermountain coun- try. the result being the destruction of the jobbing trade which has been established. the destruction of indus try and the general turning back of prosperity.
 Among the witnesses, beside those of Arizona, were representatives of the Intercounties Traffic Association of Southern California, covering the four counties of Orange. San Bernar- dino, Santa Ana and Imperial and the city of Pomona in Los Angeles coun- ty; representatives of Fl Paso traffic interests, members of the Arizona state corporation commission and many Phoenix and Arizona shippers.
 The examination was conducted by Karl G. Gartner of Washington, D. C., former examiner for the interstate commerce commission and now gen eral counsel for the intermediate rate association.
 Though all the testimony of the applicants had been put in, represen- tatives of the transcontinental roads were there with watchful eye and ready tongue. Chief among them was Paul r. Hastings. formerly with the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix rail- way. later with the Santa Fe, with headquarters in San Francisco, and at present member of the rate de- pertinent of the transcontinental bu- reau which formulated the applica-

 The police believe that the paid were ready to do business when they were arrested, and that they were about to crack the safes of concerns near their hotel. Among the safes which the police believe were saved from wrecking by Morrelrs capture of Anderson and Trueitt are those of the Valley LCmber company, the Bay liss Bakery company. the Mitchell Motor company and the McKean Dye works.
 The two alleged safecrackers said last evening that they came to Phoe- nix from Tucson. Both were reticent however and little information of val uewas given by either of them.
