4 Dangerous Affection.


 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 am deeply in love with a mar ried man. He often shows signs of tenderness as he passes me by a gentle word or smile, but then he suddenly gets serious, as if trying to control himself so as to avoid trou- ble; but I think it is all in vain Kindly advise me what to do.
 N. CHI Control your morbid Imagination. You are looking for trouble and chance to make mischief for your self. the man and the wife who de- serves a square deal even if you don't know her. It's a hundred to one that if you leave the man alone he'll get over what may be a. passing fancy. but is more likely to be your own silly craving for excitement. Don't throw yourself at him-but throw yourself into some more healthy sort of ina aSininEs. If things were as you say-they would only lead to tragedy.

Chamber
Approves Action
Towards Germany
Premier BRAND Declares Move
To Force Payment Of Re-
parations Fully Justified
Under Treaty.
BY The Associated Press.

Paris, March 7.-6eclSlons OF the
London reparations conference, the
occupation of Dusseldorf and other
German cities and the application Of
the allied economic penalties on Ger
many were approved by the cham
Der of deputies, 49l to 90, only So
cialists and communists opposing.
Premier BRAND, replying to for
mer Minister of Finance Klotz. and
former Minister of War Lefevre,
who insisted upon further light as
to the governments intentions as to
execution of the treaty of Versailles
and securing the disarmament of
Germany, answered Germany's pro-
test to the league OF nations against
the allied occupation on the ground
that it was a violation Of the treaty.
He said that at the time this pro-
test was sent Germany had refused,
OH the summons of the reparations
committee to execute the clause of
the treaty calling for payment of
20,000,000,000 gold marks.
Germany" he said, "has violated
the treaty in three clauses-dis-
armament, reparations and the trial
OF accused officers. Thus the sane
tions as provided for i'll the treaty,
are applicable and just"
The allied commission of control,
he declared, was working under the
advice of Marshals Wilson and Foch.
N. Lefevre> said that since he had
declared previously that Germany
was making a new machine gun cap
able of shooting 1900 bullets a min
ute, its existence had been proven.
The guns had been found in Koe-
nigsberg, he declared, along with a
new type of six-inch cannon, prov
irg that the Germans were making
new armament.
He said that material had been
discovered, III cellars OF the Span
dau arsenal sufficient to nlanufac-
ture 5000 field guns. He asked the
premier to accept a resolution call
ing for permanent allied control OF
the manufacture of arms and muni-
tions in Germany The premier said
it was impossible to accept the pro-
proposal, as such body was not
provided for in the treaty.

House Leaders
To Insist Upon
Tariff Action
Republicans Stand Pat to
Make Permanent Bill First
Work of New Session
OF Congress.

Washington March 7.-Repub-
IiCau members of the house ways
and means committee stood pat to-
day on the proposition that per-
nanent tariff bill should top the
legislative program OF the new ses-
sion OF congress.
This view was expressed at a
committee conference which took
up, among other things, the ques-
tiou of preparing aud rushing
through the house the same anti
dumping bill passed last session, to-
gcther with an added valuation
measure. The latter may be includ-
cd in the bill and the committee
adopted resolution requesting
Treasury department officials to
frame a rough draft for its con-
sideration.
There was no intimation as to
whether the president had approved
the program agreed on Monday at
a conference Of the ways and means
president had expected to see west
ern members OF the former commit
tee who have been insistent in de-
manding that the tariff be taken up
ahead of revenue revision, but the
meeting was postponed at his re-
quest.
Want Wool Embargo.
Meanwhile there were other move
mcnts under Wav which Wou1d have
the effect of giving interests de-
manding it an emergency tariff.
There has been much discussion of
the proposal by Senator Smoot, re-
publican, Utah, to put an embargo
on wool, which was included in the
Fordney measure vetoed by Mr..
Wilson. Congressional and admins
strative circles were said to be plan
ming to put an embargo on other
products now on the free list. Al
though they had been advised Of
such movement, members of the
ways and means committee declared
that the question OF preparing an
emergency tariff had been aban-
doned.
Agreement was reached today that
the anti-dumping and valuation bills
should not delay consideration of
a straight tariff bill. Answering ques-
tions as to whether the committee
had changed front on priority Of
tariff or revenue revision, Chairman
Fordnev declared it still was a s to
? vote for tariff. The west, he said,
is emphatic in urging tariff legisla-
ton early in the session.
No Sign of Weakening.
Members said there was no sign
of weakening and that Representa-
tive Longworth, Ohio, and Bachar-
ach, New Jersey, were standing alone
for revenue legislation first of all.
Representative Young, republican.
North Dakota, a member of the COM
mittce, declared the passage of the
anti-dumping bill would not satisfy
the west.
The man on the verge of bank
ruptcy Wants something to tie to-"
he said The west is up against it
hard and 10 my mind will insist on
having the tariff taken up ahead Of
all other legislation"
Chairman Fordney intimated that
the committee which will meet again
tomorrow might begin work on the
