The Semi-weekly leader., 1921-12-07

TT is pure JOY to take commonplace,
simple materials that everyone may
have, and fashion out of them little
decorative furnishings, that add some
thing beautiful to the home. Women
have always loved s'fancy work"-it
Is really play for them, and they are
happily busy when they are doing 1t,
And now come the makers of such
familiar things as crepe and tissue
paper and colOred sealing wax, show
ing what amazingly varied and lovely
decorative things for the home can
be made of these things. The list is
too long to print, but it includes
things that the hostess will delight
in-and many ornaments that will
brighten the house for everyone. The
brighten the house for everyone.
Two small contributions to- the
home beautiful are pictured here.
They are basket of fruit and a gay
cockatoo or parakeet or whatever the
brilliant plumaged bird is who de-
fights the eye with his gay colors.

stretched out his hand impulsively and
took his pen, and In large letters wrote
at the bottom Of the bill vetoed" He
held 1t out toward Searles.
Searles seemed completely nom
plussed. For a whole minute he
stared at the vetoed bill. Then he
got up and stretched out his hand.
Governor Haines," he said, II
think the world Of you. You have won
the fight and I'm man enough to rec
ognize 1t. You'll have the people on
your side now-and I don't kick
against the pricks. You've bested me
and you'll have the entire Searles or
ganlzation with you when we offer
you the nomination"
He shook Haines by the hand and
walked slowly out Of the Office, shak-
ing his head.
He must have dozed, for some min
utes later, when he looked up, he saw
him enemy before him. Governor
Haines was looking steadily at him,
but he evinced no surprise.
Lets fight this thing out right
now" he said. "Tve finished with you.
shall never temporize with you
again."
"If you had told me that twenty-five
years ago should never have troubled
you at ALL" answered the double, hum
bly,, rising.
Governor Halnes did not answer
him, but watched him leave the room.
Each man has his double, his worse
nature. But when he has conquered
him the double becomes a harmless
wrath, transparent as breath Of
marsh air that is dispersed In the sun
light.

from thin cardboard a replica Of him,
padding the board with little cotton
on the body portion ON both sides or

picture which is pasted over its edge.
A circle of wire is wound with a long
strip Of yellow paper and this makes
a swing for the bird which is fastened
on 1t with able Of wire. He can hang
against a wall-or wherever he will
do the most good.
The basket containing grapes and
apples is made Of paper rope and shell
lac. The grapes In purple, green, red,
and the small apples have centers Of
cotton and are covered with sealing
wax. The grape leaves may be bought
ready made and the tendrils are of
wire wound with green paper.

prusslan Military system.

During the Franco-German war, 1870
II, the armies Of the various German
states, though they were not Prussian,
while in the field were commanded by
the Prussian king and his general staff.
After that war there was no difficulty
In making Prussian control permanent.
One after another the vsrious states
resigned direction of their armies to
the king of Prussia, and for all prac-
tical purposes the German army be-
came one. Almost Immediately after
the close of the Franco-G German war
movement was begun to extend the I'M
perial army, and the PrusSGn military
system was introduced throughout the
empire.

The state boss entered. "You have
called with regard to that railroad

Searles cleared his throat and nod

"Now, Governor Haines, we have
threshed this matter out, among 9TH
ers, for long time. / have tried to
ally you with the better interests Of
the state, but have failed. l have
pointed out to you that-I may speak
plainly?"
Surely" answered the double, smil-
ing, and something IN the doubles
expression sent new hope into Searles'
heart.
"You got my letter, governorT he
asked, his lips parting in a wolfish
smile. "Well, it amounts to this. If
you don't sign that bill you won't have
the denomination next year. That, Of
course, goes without saying. But I'm
going to do more than that. I'm going
to drive you out Of public life alto

you were a young man, you were In
volved in a scandal. You know what
mean. The people Of this state won't

"The man who was involved In that
scandal was not l. 1t was double
Of mine," thought the double.

shallying or beating about the bush"
He drew paper from mis- pocket bear
ing the governors signature. "This is
your obligation for five thousand dol

The half German king, George III
of England, employed about 10000
troops from 80 different German states,
especially from Hesse, against the col
onists, before the United States was a
nation. The reason was that the war
was very unpopular, few men enlisted
and the government dared not con-
script Englishmen to fight their broth
ers In America.

L. S. SHIPPING ACES
CRISIS IN PACIFIC
Hoover Takes Firm Stand for
Chinese Crews Study Steps
To Fight Foreign Combines.

American shipping is to have the
Governments closer cooperation and
support in the fight 1t Is making to
meet the competition OF foreign ship
ping combines.
Dangers of Japan's dominance In
the Pacific, because of certain ad-
vantages enjoyed by Japanese ship
ping companies over Amerjcan-own-
ed lines. were being closely studied
today by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, in conjunction with other
governmental boards dealing with
shipping problems.
After talks with domestic ship
operators, Secretary Hoover said to-
day II becomes daily more apparent
that American shipping in the Paci-
Sfic faces serious crisis through in
roads by Japanese shipping.
Some relief will come to American
shipping' in the Pacific, Hoover be-
lieves, through his refusal to make
the Seamen's act a weapon to drive
Chinese crews off American ships.
Hoover said the language tests are
being met broadly enough to assure
safety of vessels.
Hoover's firm stand concerning the
Chinese crews is the forerunner of
other equally decisive steps by the
Department of Commerce to provide
further encouragement for American
ship owners, now threatened serious
ly by varied forms of foreign com
petition.
general study OF the shipping
rate inequalities which operate to
the disadvantage of American lines
and in favor of British. Norwegian,
French and other shipping combines
Is now the subject OF study. Ex-
perts also are investigating differ
ent phases of ship operating and
construction costs. Officials hold
that American shipping must be con-
Quoted upon profitable basis, in the
interest of American foreign trade.

Pig iron was weak. The demand

Copper Demand Poor.
Copper demand continued poor. Ex-

manufacturers were holding better
general conditions or a revival of de-
mand for their products. No particu-
lar pressure from second hands was
brought to bear. Such holdings ap-
parent1y were well cleaned up before
the beginning of the year although
some smaller producers are shading
prices and seem as unwilling to ac-
cumulate stocks
The rumored sale of small-lot cleo
trolytic at 12%. the lowest price since
1914. was neither definitely confirmed
nor denied, but some business was re-
ported at 12h spot and quotations for
small lots were down to 12Z for sec
ond quarter. The larger producers,
however, evidently await a revival of
demand to meeting these low quota
tions in competition for the small

the 13-cent basis.
