HARDING APPEAL SEEN.
Shantung Question-May Be Ask
ed to Mediate Controversy.
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC. October 13.-Authoritative
circles today intimated that Japan
would endeavoI to induce China to
reconsider her RECENT rejection of the
Japanese proposals relative to the re-
turn of Shantung to Chinese control.
If China continues adamant. 1t was
said, President Harding may be asked
to mediate in the controversy. Japan.
it is understood, would be willing to
abide by President Harding's decision
attitude. Japanese officials give the
impression that Japan is anxious to
enter the Washington conference In
such a way as to avoid causes for
auarrels at the start, believing that
any other attitude would tend to re-
tard and render more difficult an
agreement upon the limitation OF
ornaments.

The PaigeDetroit Motor Car company announces that it's production schedule Cor March is 1.50o cars, which is 75 per cent of the number of cars manufac- tgred and sold by this company during the same month last year.
 "We believe we are justified in claim ing that the Paige is rapidly developing into the fastest selling fine car in Amer ica, says Henry Krohn, vice president sales, of the Paige company q doubt II our production and sales records could be matched anywhere in the industry if compared on a percentage basis \
 Due to the general recognition of the peculiar qualities of our 1921 line our pro- cuction is nearly normal and is growing better every day. For January and February it was TO per cent of normal. As matter of fact, the railroad statis- tics show that exclusive of Fords, more than one-quarter of all cars shipped out of Detroit in January were Paige cars.
 "In view of the condition of business ir general and the motor industry in par ticular during the last nine months the Paige has reason to be proud of this record"
 The Paige is sold in Birmingham by the Detroit Motor company at 619 South Twentieth street.

RECEPTION IS FRIGID
Red Delegation to Odessa Gets Cold
 Greeting
By Asaociatcd Press

Varna, Bulgaria. April BOA large deputatlon of Bulgarian bolsheviki which has just visited Odessa was re- ceived with anything but brotheriy kind ness from their Russian brethren. The Red Guards, who in groups occupy all the streets of the city, deprived the ma jority of them of their boots Soviet representatives in Odessa ignored them and consequently they were unable to obtain any food. So little did the Odessa bolshevik stand on ceremony that the agents of the extraordinary commission shot down a deserter on the deck of the ship by which the Bulgariens had travelled in view of tho whole delegation. The Bulgariaus have now returned to Varna much chastened. and very doubtful as to the good results to be expected from the introduction Of bolshevism into their own country.

Slip-covers also frequently take

not an impossible task for an anna
teur. If the articles are old the
small amount Of varnish or stain
that is left will not interfere with
the wood taking paint. If new and
highly polished varnish remover
should be applied before the first
coat OF paint is put on. Any dealer
in decorating materials will suggest
the best kind of paint to use for
furniture. Usually two coats are
sufficient to cover the wood. After
this is thoroughly dry apply coat
of enamel. This requires careful
workmanship, as it is not put on by
a stroke Of the brush, but rather by
rapid flowing motion which
spreads the enamel smoothly and
evenly. Enameling should never be
done at night. Since it is apt to run
and dry in streaks, whenever possi-
BILE place the surfaces in such a posi-
ton that they will dry fiat. Drawers,
for example, should be removed and
stood on end so that the face will
be in horizontal position. If the
enamel dries in ridges remove these
with emery paper and go over the
entire surface again.
Hints ON Painting
| Beds and bureaus which have done

of the cumbersome type not favored
at present. Frequently hammer
and saw will transform these into
fairly good-looking pieces of furni-
ture. High head and foot boards

inspiration for another refurnish-

First, she must decide upon a
general scheme for floors, walls,

and not make the fatal error of con-
sidering only one of these sepa-
rately. If the furniture is a SEEM
ingly hopeless conglomeration of
misfit articles, the most practical
method of rehabilitating it is to
choose from among the lot such ar
ticles as are necessary and, if
there can be choice, those having
plain lines, and unity them by paint

white or gray, since either of these

Appetizng Ways of Using Nuts, Apples and Punpk
Choose Them From Winter Market or
Roadside Farm and Let Your Imagi-
nation Lead the Way to Dishes
New and Spicy

TIME wise caterer at this season
of the year makes daily use Of
the seasonable market sup
plies, and with cider, apples, pump
kins and the entire nut family at her
disposal she has "the makings" of
many tasty and appetizing dishes.
Fortunately, nuts, cider and apples
combine we'll in a number of good
dishes, and while the field of the
pumpkin is more limited the spicy
odor (while cooking) and the deli
cious flavor of the pumpkin custard
is almost an appetizer in itself.
Pumpkin biscuits may prove a
novelty to the majority of house
wives, but they are very good, and
if a little cooked, sifted pulp is left
over from pie-making it can be uti-
lized in this way. To make them
soften one-third of a cake of COM
pressed yeast in half cupful of
lukewarm water and add one-half
cupful of scalded, cooled milk, half
a cupful of cooked, sifted pumpkin,
half a teaspoonful of salt, quarter
of cupful of brown sugar, four
tablespoonfuls Of melted oleo and
about three cupfuls of bread flour.
Knead nearly ten minutes, cover
and let raise over night. Turn out
on Toured board, roll into a sheet
and cut in biscuits. Brush over with
melted oleo and let stand until they
have doubled in bulk. Bake about
half an hour and glaze just before
removing from the oven.
The freshly made cider that one
buys from the maker at rs cents a
gallon and 25 cents for the contain
er (obtainable, if one has a car,
along any of the country roads, is
q very different thing from that pur-
chased at most of the grocery shops
It can be used to advantage in ths
making of many cups and punches
suitable for informal entertaining
Cider combines we'll with grape.
juice, ginger ale and any of the
carbonated waters, and oranges,
pineapple and lemons are recon-
mended as the fruits to use with
this apple beverage.
Apples baked in cider are particu-
larly good, and slice of ham
cooked with cider in slow oven
will have a delicious flavor partic-
ularly its own.

ferlor wood with stained border
around the edge of large rug. If
t. rug is hopelessly out of the color
scheme, discard it altogether and
paint the floor, using small wash
able rugs where needed. Several
coats Of paint will be required to
give a thick soft finish. If a glossy
finish is desired use one coat of
waterproof varnish. This will not
only lrotect the paint, but will make
cleaning doubly easy. If there are
cracks between the boards, fill with
any crack filler recommended by
dealers before painting. Cream,
buff, ivory and gray are good floor
colors. 1t is we'll to have the floor
tint a shade deeper than that of

shelled peanuts to make quarter
of cup and mix with half cream
cheese and tablespoonful of minced
canned pimento. Season lightly with
salt and form into balls. Serve on let
tuce leaves that have been moistened
with mayonnaise dressing, adding
little peanut butter for dressing.
To make maple nut biscuits pre-
pare a rich baking powder biscuit
dough, roll thin and spread with
softened butter. Dust thickly with
chopped walnuts, maple sugar and
ground cinnamon and roll up like
jelly roll. Cut in slices, lay in
buttered pan, brush with melted

Apples stuffed with sausages are
very good, and to prepare the dish
peel the apples, core and fill with
sausage meat. Sprinkle them
lightly with sugar, pour little
water into the pan and bake until the
fruit is Drowned and tender. Baste
frequently with the liquor in the pan.
