London.-The Irish correspondent for the Pail Mall Gazette asserts that the Dail Eireann has given orders for the immediate demobilization of the Irish Republican Army.
 Eamonn de Valera's action in Oppos- ing the treaty between Great Britain and Ireland was not entirely unexpect- ed, the conclusion having been drawn because of his silence, that the terms of the settlement did net meet his wishes or in his opinion the aspirations of that section of Ireland which he represents.
 One development in Irish affairs was the liberation of many prisoners, in eluding many women, undergoing sen teHces for political effenses, from Nit. Joy prison.
 Congratulatery telesrams continued to pour into Downing street Among the messages were fe1ieitatisns from the French Premier, H. Briand, the South African Premier, Jan C. SnHts, and A. J. Balfour, on behalf of the British delegation at Washington.

The latest ching in pawnshops Is
one for motorcars. Heretofore pawn
shops have been reserved for the class
that want to put up their watch or

workingmen owning f1ivvers, those who
are on the inside Of the pawning bust
ness decided that similar institution
for motor cars would be had.
The motorcar pawnshop is located
near Columbus Circle, in the heart of

Wealth In Beads.

Probably the choicest and most val.
liable beads in the world are those
possessed by the natives of Borneo. In
many cases they are very old, and
have been kept for centuries in one
family.
Some are thought to be of Venetian
origin, while others resemble a Roman
variety.
1t is difficult to induce the natives to
sell their beads. which they guard as
heirlooms. A rich chief may possess
old beads to the value OF thousands OF
pounds.
When children are small they are
carried on the backs Of their mothers
In kind Of cradle, which is often
deliberately adorned with beads. One
chief possesses a cradle valued at

REVOLVER INVENTED BY BOY
Idea Of Deadly Small Arm Was Corn
in the Brain Of Fourteen
Year-Old Runaway.

The revolver, that until the invention
OF the automatic pistol, was the most
deadly small arm known TO man, was
born OF the brain uf fourteen-year-
old boy. Samuel Colt. Colt ran AWAY
from. school and shipped on board q
merchant vessel bound for the East
Indies. He had good deal OF idle
time on his hands once the ship was
well ut sea. and q long period Of calm
weather followed its movements. He
began to seek an outlet for his active
imagination and mechanical urge. He
attempted various things to aid sailing,
put without any great success. He
then took to planning a pistol that
would shoot several times with
single load. He had only bits Of wood
and Jack knife to work with. but be-
fore the voyage was over he had cut
out model for q revolver very slni-
lar to the pattern still in use.
Once at home again. he went to
work In his fathers factory, but the
revolver idea was still in his head, and
no worked at 1t from time to time un-
I'll he was twenty-one. At this point
MS experiments had 50 far advanced

In America and European countries.

Make Idle Money Useful.

II has always been argued to pensions, that
i whatever the government paid out in this way,
was returned to the channels of trade and through
trade rcappcared taxes. 1t is sort Of rotating
fund This is true, and it is equally true Of the
Federal annuities paid to retired Federal employees.
But the employees have this advantage in the argu-
ment over the pensioners-thc money they get Is
their own withheld from their salaries, while PEN
sons come through taxation.
In granting the increase in annuities, the re-
tired employees but ask for larger portion of their
own money, that they may it in their living.
Every dollar they get will go directly to the trade.
1t will not be boarded; it will not be invested, be-
cause everyone of them needs it all for daily living.
1t will all go to the retailers 1t will help by just
so much to promote industry, increase employment
and restore normal conditions
There are a goodly number of them and this
number will increase each year. They distribute a
large sum among the merchants throughout the
country and especially in Washington. They are
asking to be enabled to distribute just twice as
much, and they arc asking the taxpayer to con-
tribute one penny of this The retailers, and
through them the general business of the country
will benefit as much they will.

the retailers then to the wholesalers then 10 the
manufacturers, to the jobbers and on to the pro-
ducers of raw materials 1t will multiply itself in
this way, and its usefulness. Every business man,
therefore, should be interested in this bill and should
help the Federal veterans, some of whom civil
war veterans as we'll, pass it. When any impulse
to business revival come in any way that is free
from either taxation credit, it certainly should
not be denied This is now idle money and Con-
gress will do we'll to put it in circulation.
