DAHL EIREANN WILL DRAFT
 REPLY TOs LLOYD GEORGE TODAY

London, Sept. s29.-(By the A. Pl Wholly conciliatory'' is the view ex- pressed both in London and Dublin of Premier Lloyd Georges latest note to Eamonn De Valera, in which the pre- mier invites the leaders of the Sim Fein to a conference in London October II in an endeavor to settle the Irish controversy.
 Mir. Lloyd George makes as the basis of the note the offer of a conference with view to ascertaining how >the association of Ireland with the comnu- nity Of nations known as the British Empire may best be reconciled with Irish national aspirations"
 It is understood that various members of the British cabinet are of the opin- ion that there is nothing in the comnu- nication to prevent the proposed confer ence. This certainly appears to be the belief held by the London public and press; and the comments thus far re- ceived from Dublin speak of "the ex- Geme gratifcation" the communication Is causing there.
 Cnionist opinion in Ulster, according 10 Belfast rsports reaching London, is that the note makes it easier for MT De Valera to agree to another meet ing
 Informal discussions among the Sim Fein leaders are said to have been held in Dublin this afternoon and this eve. ming. This is considered as lending strength to the report that MT. De Va. lera will have the draft of his reply 10 MT. Lloyd George ready when the pan Ereann cabinet meets tomorrow

WHY THE TEETH CHATTER

The little muscles which close the jaw are acted upon by the coldin such a way that they pull the jay up and let it fall by it's own weight, says the Popular Science Monthly. This, re- peated many times, causes the teeth to click together and produces what is known as. "chattering'.
 You think of it in connection with your teeth because it is the teeth which makes the sound, but the cause lies in the mouth when you speak. The chat tering occurs in spite of the will or brain. You have little control over it, and can stop it only by clinchins the teeth.
 It is really a mild variety of spasn caused by the cold, which acts on the jaw muscles in much the same way that some poisons produce muscular spasms which cannot be controlled.
