AT YORK TOMORROW
Matter of Acceptance or Rejection OF
British Proposals Will Be
Considered.

Dublin. Aug. l6 (By the Associated
Pressl The Irish republican Parlia
ment met here to-day, in the first
open session in its history, to consider
the British governments Irish peace
terms. There were f30 members pres
ent. including those who had been re
leased from prison to admit of theil
attending the session. A great audi
ence crowded the gallery floor as Ia
mon De Valera led the members into
the chamber.
The scenes were in striking contrast
to those witnessed in Belfast wher
King George opened the Ulster Parlia
ment. Dublin was not decorated, a.
was Belfast and. instead of squadron:
oil cavalry, a division of infantry and
innumerable police, the only uniformed
men to be seen on the streets were
traffic officers.
Even these did not appear in the
vicinity of the mansion house, where

stood for hours in a downpour OF rain

Mr.. DE Valera in his address said
be would tomorrow give an account
Of the negotiations with Mr.. Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
after which the reply to the prime
ministers offer would be considered in
private session. He reiterated Ireland's
claim for separation from Great Brit
ain. and declared that the only govern
ment the people recognized was the
ministry Of the Dali Eireann, the Irish
republican Parliament.
He and his colleagues, the head Of
the republican cabinet said, had adopt

When Mr.. De Valera led the mem
bers into the chamber he was greeted
by the ministers of the republican cab
met, by Lord Mayor O'Nell and by
Frank P. Walsh, his American legal
adviser. The two latter took their
seats to the right and left of the
chairman, respectively. Cheers were
given by the republican leader and
others for Mr.. Walsh, when he was
recognized.
Mr.. De Valera said that at to-mor-
rows session. besides counting the ne
gotiations between the Irish and Brit
ish governments he would in gen
eral way give an account of his own
department and that afterwards the
other ministers would give accounts of
their departments,
The proposed reply to Premier Lloyd
George, continued the president, would
be considered in private session. All
understood the seriousness of the re-
ply, he declared, as the British gov
ernment intended to make it a basis
of peace with the Irish nation.
After the reply was sanctioned and
ready for despitch there would be an
other public session of the Dali Fire
ann Further elections to office would
occur and then the Parliament would
work on the. propositions to be ad-
vanced by the Dali ministry.
Mr.. De Valera asserted that Ireland
had at the elections virtually declared
by plebiscite for republican govern
ment not because the people were re-
publican doctrinaires but because Irish
freedom and independence could at the
present be realized in any other way
An outstanding feature of the SEES
sion was the special applause for the
fighting men. Michael Collins, comman-
der of the republican army; Richard
Mulcahy, the chief OF staff, and Charles
Burgess. the minister of defense, were
sh.ered more heartily than De Valera
himself.

Baking bread and roasting meat on

the line of perpetual sno:ss.
An astronomical mirror at the
Smithsonian institution Is capable of
receiving and measuring the energy
Of the sun rays, calculating that in
summer the solar luminary transmits
upon each acre Of land energy equiv
alent to $500 horsepower.
The so-termed "solar cooker" con-
sists of a half-cylinder Of iron lined
with mirror glass, which catches the
rays of the sun and concentrates them
upon metal tube that is the half.
cylinders axis. The tube contains oil,
which expands and becomes lighter. by
the heat as 1t passes through the tube.
The latter is continued to form loop
outside the half-cylinder, thus making
a sort Of endless chain.
Passing through the loop, thesjoa
cools. However, the suns heat forcing
the oil through the portion of the tube
inside the half-cylinder, compels tue
cooled oil to follow it, otherwise there
would be vacuum. So while the sun
shines there is q continuous circula-
tion of oil. The "loop" passes through
a box which contains an oven. Heat
from the oil warns the oven and does
the desired cooking.
