with which the exchanges were ini-
tiated last November after some
question had arisen at the meetings
here Of the international COM
munication conference concerning
the action of the supreme council

might be reached to place it under
international control and thus rem

Gil on May 7, 1919, came to final
decision to place under mandate to
Japan all Of the former German
islands north of the equator. that

ANYWAY, SCHEME WORKED
Experimental Secured Sleep, but
Hardly Knows Just Where to
Award the Credit.

He couldn't sleep. He had read that
II one would put the tips OF the
fingers of one hand against the tips
Of the fingers Of the other, one could
go to sleep Immediately and the next
thing would be daylight.
He decided not to tell his wife.
With the lights out he placed the tips
Of his fingers together and lay still
for several minutes. Then he moved
slightly and was quiet again for sew
eral minutes. Naturally after a time
he began to squirm, but he kept the
finger tips together.
The wife, noticing the restlessness
and the finger tip performance, In
quired irritably:
Edward. what In the world are You
doing?"
Nothing" he sheepishly replied,
and soon was asleep from the fatigue
Of holding the finger tips together.
Now he doesn't know whether 70
give credit to the finger tip ordeal or
thanks to his wife for breaking the
spell"

For china's Health.

Effective work In health education
has been accomplished through the
school children In China. The Ameri-
can Junior Red Cross members have
thrown their efforts into the work al
ready done by welfare organizations.
In the fifth health campaign conducted
by the Y. NJ. Z. A. the juniors loaned
their services IN addition to contrib
uting money. They took part in the
health parades, carrying large models
OF files, mosquitoes, rats and other
enemies to health. The older boys
conducted Open-alr classes in the mar
ket places, where regular instruction
In personal hygiene was given to chill
dren and incidentally to the grownups
who were looking on. They distrib-
uted handbills and gave street-corner
lectures on health. Being born actors,
they advanced the cause greatly by
giving health plays. Part of the con-
tributlon from the national children's
fund Is used In making a survey of
gutter snipes," the destitute children
in Shanghai, and In furthering the
campaign against blindness.

COULDN'T BLAME LITTLE JOE
Small oarkey Had a Perfect Defense
Against Teachers IntimatIon Of
Disobedienee.

At a social gathering Of some dark
les In a Georgia town two members
fell to disputing which had the smarter
children. Tom Lee was proclaimed
the victor when he came to the front
with the following:
DE other day my little boy Joe
went to school with his little dawg.
De teacher gifts mad with NAH boy
and tells him to go back home as
quick as he can and take de dawg an
never bring him back no mo-. Little
Joe do jest like de teacher tell him.
Bimeby little Joe goes back to de

sets hisself down a little dawg comes
in an goes right up to where
little Joe sets. Den de teacher gifts
mad again and says: Zoe, why do

the dust. He shook himself and rose
to his elbows, but he knew that his
hour had struck.
He called quietly to his servant.
Take off the saddle" he said.
When this was done he took cover
very stealthily behind 1t, pointed his
gun In the direction from which death
had been let loose upon him.
Then he bade his servant run to.

Deceived by Ruse.
The man who had fred the shot
was completely taken In by this de-
vice. First, he peered out cautious
ly: then his whole body appeared
above the hill. 1t was the chieftain
of the other family.
The wounded man took a long, de-
liberate aim, fired and saw with sat
lsfaction that he had hit his mark.
The servant came running back, re-
called by the shot, and to him the old
man said grimly:
Tell them TO bring two biers, for
we are two dead men," And so 1t
proved.
They found the chieftain with his
head resting on the hard pillow af.
fOrded by his saddle, and In death he
still chung to his gun. After this last
tragedy the few survivors of the two
families consented to make peace, for
1t seemed TO them that they had car
ried out the law of vendetta to its
bitter end.

Vendetta

the crimes. no one was ever punished
by the law.
Agreed to Attend Mass Together.
| Then some one having authority
suddenly listened to reason. All the
| hostile families-the LepOris. the Pes.
| the SeazzuS, the Spezzigas and the
VaSas-far more hostile than the Mon
tagues and Capulets, agreed to attend
a service of reconciliation together.
Their famous feud has been respon-
sible for no fewer than rs homicides
during the last 10 years. 1t all began
with the murder Of Prof. Pier Felice
StangOni, a widOwer who lectured at
the technical institute of Sassari.
What he had done is not quite. clear.
Some say he had fiirted with a Miss
Pes and then refused to marry her.
Another story Is that he was unin-
tentiOnally killed by mischievous
boy from an unfriendly village. Any
how, the professor was taking a count
try walk with his three boys, Albert,
Mario and Arnold, when some One'
lurking in the thickets suddenly hit
him on the forehead with a bullet
from catapult and killed him In
stantly.
There was a sensational trial and
the suspects were acquitted. A few
months later, however, one Of them
Martin Pes, was killed. ThereupoI
the authorities arrested Professo
StangOni's father-in-law, Paul Lepor
vigorous old man, and he was al
Quilted for lack Of evidence. Assas-
sinations followed with furious rapid
ity. Nicholas Vasa was seriously
wounded one day and killed the next.
Members Of the various families
were found dead in lonely places or
disappeared and were never seen
again. An immense amount Of prop
erty was destroyed. Great numbers
of innocent people went in daily fear
of their lives.
Ceremony Of Reconciliation.
Two hundred members came from
far and near to attend the ceremony
of reconciliation.
The boys of Tempo seminary
walked first In the procession. Then
came MOnsigor Sauna, bishop Of Tenn
pho and Castelsardo, followed by the |
parish priest, the mayor with an ItaI- /
Ian flag and an enormous crowd from |
the whole countryside. PenItential |
hymns were sung and mass was cele- |
brated In the open air amid deep emo |
ton.
Then Father Deligios, famous
franciscan preacher, spoke of the !
beauty Of Sardinia, the hospitality of |
her people, always generous except
when carried away by traditional ha-
treds. He alluded to the IS victims
and invoked the blessing and pardon
Of heaven on the survivors.
Then the members of the hostile
were divided into two long
files and went up side by side to re-
ceive the episcopal benediction. There
was Paul LepOri, "Uncle Paul." as he
