Senate republican leaders yesterday
made plans to take up the nomina-
tions OF Senator Smoot. republican.
Utah, and Representative Burton. re-
publican, Ohio. to the allied debt
funding commission soon ftcr dis
posal of the four-power treaty.
Canvasses made today were said to
indicate confirmation of the two
nominees, in spite of the adverse
recommendation of a majority of the
Senate judiciary committee, which
sustained the contention of Senator
Walsh, democrat. Montana. that they
would become civil, officers while
members of Congress, and, therefore,
ineligible.

man saw the aliens face brighten as
Harriet was introduced A moment
later a boy with tennis racket
dashed up to them, and there was a
scattering In the direction of the
courts. The girls surrounded the boy,
and streamed away chattering. The
matron In yellow came back to her
card table. And Harriet. unfurling
her parasol, deep in conversation with
the captured soldier, sauntered slowly
after the tennis players. The after
noon sunshine sent clean shadows
across the clipped grass; the stretched
blue silk of Harriet's parasol threw
mellow orange light upon her tawny
hair and saffron-colored gown.
Richard had a child's desperate
wish that he was dressed, and might
run after them.
But 1t was not at the tennis that he
looked, twenty minutes later when he
reached the courts; although q bril-
liant play was being made. and there
was scattering Of applause. His
eyes instantly found Harriets figure;
she was still talking to the French
nan, whose olive face. was glowing
with interest and admiration, and not
more than eight inches, Richard
thought, from her own. Harriet's own
face wore the shadow of a smile, her
lashes were dropped, and she was
gently pushing the point of her closed
parasol into the green turf. The
chairs in which they sat had been
slightly turned from the court.
Richard engaged himself in CONVEX
sation with two or three men and
women who were watching the young
sters' game, and presently found him
self applauding his son for a brilliant
ace. But after perhaps five minutes
he walked quite without volition,
straight to Harriet's neighborhood,
and she rose at once. introduced her
new friend, and with a glance at her
wrist, announced that she must go.
Ward said he would drive me home
the instant 1t was over" said Harriet,
clapping heartily for the triumphant
finish of the set.
"Ill drive you home ~ Richard said,
instantly. "rve the small car"
Friday night" Harriet smiled. For
Friday night was the night for a mems
dinner and poker game at the country
club, and Richard usually liked to be
there.

and the parking field, she

for a moment, laughing at the recent
excitement.

and he smiled vaguely. Then Harriet
slowly crossed the hall to the door of
the guest room, where she was spend
ing the night, and gave him an only
half-audible goodnight. Richard stood
watching the door for a moment or two
after 1t had closed upon the slender,
dimly seen figure. Then he went to
HIS own room, and began briskly
enough to move about between the mir
rors and dressing room, windows and
bed. But two or three times he
stopped short, and found himself
staring vacantly into space. all move
ment arrested, even thought arrested
for whole long minutes at time.
Harriet, entering her room. closed
the door noiselessly, and remained for
a long time standing with her hands
resting against 1t behind her, her eyes
alert. her breath coming as If she had
been running. There was only night
light in the bedroom the covers were
still tumbled back from her sudden
flight toward the rioting youngsters In
the hall. She got back into her bed
and opened her book. But for a long
time she neither slept nor read; her
eyes widened at the faintest sound Of
the summer night !. her heart thumped
madly when the curtains whispered at
the window, or the wicker chairs gave
the faintest creak. 1t had not been
only for Richard that the midnight
hour of responsibility and informality
shared had had its thrill.
One o'clock. Harriet closed her book
and snapped off her light But first
she went to the window and leaned out |

Chess Known in Europe Before 1901.

In 1901 st. Peter Damian wrote a
letter 10 Pope Alexander, bitterly COM
planning that a certain bishop was
wasting his time playing chess instead
of attending TO the affairs Of the do
cese. This proves that the game was
known In Europe before the year
given. The Spaniards are supposed
to have been the first European ma
ton to grow enthusiastic over it. They
probably learned It from their Moor
ish dependents.

Derivation Of "ozarko

Ozark is a corruption of the French
words aux arc, nearing with bows"
term descriptive of the Indians who
inhabited the country.

the opening by means Of an oil can or
small syringe. These substances are
iniammable and should never be used
near fire. If food and other conditions
continue to attract ants and faver
their continued breeding in the house,
such control measures are of only tenn
porary avail.
The collection of ants by the use OF
attractive bats is frequently recon-
mended, but unless the bait is pols-
oned, as previously described, it is
of doubtful benefit. Small sponges
moistened with sweetened water will
attract many ants. The sponges can
be collected several times day and
the ants swarming on them destroyed
by immersion in hot water. The use
of sponges moistened with borax and
sugar dissolved in boiling water to
poison the ants is also sometimes rec
commended, but has not been found ef-
fective. The distribution of sweet
bats which do not actually kill the
ants often results in increasing their
numbers.

ANTS IN HOUSEHOLD
CAN BE ERADICATED
Greatest Precaution Should Be Exer-
cised in Preparing Bait and in
Safeguarding from Humans.

An efficient remedy for household
ants, according to the bureau OF en-
tomologw of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is syrup poisoned
with arsenate of soda, if it can be used
safely. The greatest precausions
should De taken in preparing this
sirup and in safeguarding it after
wards from human beings or domestic
animals. Ants will carry the mixture
to their nests, so that not only they,
but the stay-at-homes are reached by
the poison.
The formula for the preparation of
the poisoned sirup is as follows: One
pound of sugar dissolved in quart OF
water, to which. should be added 125
grains Of arsenate of soda. The mix
ture should be boiled and strained and,
on cooling, used on sponges. The ad-
dition OF a small amount of honey is
said to add to the attractiveness. This
method of control has been tested by
the bureau of entomology for three
years and has given very satisfactory
results. Persons professionally en-
gagged in insect determination also re-
port success with it.
There are several common species OF
ants that get into houses if they ind
attractive food, as we'll as the distinct
house-inhabiting ants, such as the lit
tie red, or Pharaoh's ant. Some OF
these are naturally lawn ants and have
a colony or nest out of doors near the
house.
The first step, therefore, in the con-
troll of ants in the house, is the re-
moval of all attractive substances
wherever practical. Ants like sweet,
starchy food materials, especially
caxe, bread, sugar, preserves, slrups'
and even meat. By cleaning up
promptly all food crumbs scattered by
children, keeping all shelves and cor
ners clean, and storing food supplies
in ant-proof glass or tin containers, or
in tightly closed ice-boxes, the ant
nuisance may be largely limited.
Daily supplies only of foods likely to
attract ants should be purchased.
Entomologists of the department
have found that most of the repellents
considered effective, such as camphor
and naphthalene fakes or powdered
moth balls, are of little benefit. If the
nest OF the ants can be located by fol-
lowing the workers back to their
point of disappearance, number OF
the ants in the nest may sometimes be
reached by injecting little disulphid
or carbon, kerosene or gasoline into

Strange News Items from Daily Press

Washington, Aug. 2s.-A man in
London tried to hang himself. He
was a poor hand at it, but he died just
the same. The doctor testified that
there was no sign of death by stran-
gulation, so the Coroners duly brought
in a verdict of "suiclde by auto-sug-
gestion," the first of its kind on rec
ord. The theory is that the man be-
lieved that he was hanging himself,
cause he had handkerchief looped
over a bed post and about his neck,
and that the conviction that he was
being strangled succeeded in killing
him. It is not thought that killing
ones self by thinking one is dead will
become popular.
London also is responsible for the
story of William Skinner, sailor,
who lost his life in the battle of Jut-
land. When his body was recovered,
the usual brass Identification disc was
taken from his neck. On the reverse
of it, in words so fine they require a
microscope for reading, is his will,
leaving his all to his wife. This, the
smallest and most unique will in the
annals of law, has just been admitted
to probate in the London courts.
The first aerial stowaway has safely
made his flight. One Mike Stone, OF
Detroit, concealed himself in the mail
compartment of the aeromarine elev-
en-passenger plane flying regularly
from Detroit to Cleveland, went to
sleep, and woke up when the motors
roared. He couldn't make his pres
ence known until the motors stopped,
across the lake in Cleveland.

FOREST FIRES DESTROY GAME
Takes Lives of Birds and Animals and
Deprives Them of Food and Shelter.

Of interest in connection with many
reports of destructive forest fires in
several sections of the country, is
circular of the biological survey.
of the United States department of
agriculture stressing the effect Of such
fires on game and game preservations.
A fire which RACES over any large area
destroys not only the birds and other
game, themselves, but their food and
shelter; and though one takes little
interest in forest fire prevention for
the sake of preserving the trees, he
may be more interested in saving the
game and fish.
Decrease Of one or both OF the
elements of food and shelter means
a corresponding decrease in the num-
Der of valuable wild creatures. The
belief that burning over in certain
localities is beneficial because it pro-
NOTES new grass, ignores the fact that
the grass thus obtained does not COM
pensate for the destruction Of the
trees and shelter and food required
by the animals, says the survey. Par
tridges, in particular, suffer from for
est OF brush fires. When their favor
ite places are burned over and their
food and shelter are gone, they are
obliged to seek new localities and face
new dangers.
Indiscriminate setting Of spring
fires in the southern states dislodges
deer, o'possums, raecoons, foes squir-
rels, rabbits and other animals and
endangers ground nesting birds in the
timber, such as woodcoek, pheasant,
wild turkey and tie whippoorwin. The
woodcock is in some danger OF eter-
mination at the present time, it is
pointed out, and deserves all possible
protection.
In season of drought, forest fires
even invade marshy places and drive
out fur-bearing animals as well as
waterfowl and shorebirds, it has been
found. Many think that burning re-
suits in only temporary Inconvenience
to the game and do not realize that
the food Of many birds is largely the.
seed and berries of the year before.
Burning of the ground cover in
forests of long-leaf and short-leaf
pine kills the young trees as they
emerge and results in killing strag-
Cling growth. The burning Of tim
ber and other ground cover which
should absorb and retain moisture also
accelerates the run-off and affects the
stream flow at different seasons to
such an extent that the supply OF fish
NAV be materially decreased.

Looking for the Beautiful in Country
Life.

For his own part, if the writer had
to list offhand the country sights and
sounds that give him most delight,
he would mention:
The serenity and strength Of an
cient oaks, unmoved by all the storms
of a century;
The stately grace and majesty OF
tall tulip trees with erect, fair trunks
wearing at great heights their crowns
of green in summer and gold in au-
tumn;
The rich mellow note Of the rain
crow, uttering his prophecy in the
dampness Of a cloudy dawn;
The smell of hey and old haylofts;
The low song of the corn-blades
as they grasp brotherly hands across
the burrows when winds blow over
the fields;;
The grateful warmth Of the spots
where the cows lay as one goes to
milk on a wintry morning;
The clean white limbs Of sycamores
against their background Of green
foliage;
The rank and tropical, Amazon
suggesting luxuriance of squash
vine or pumpkin vine in full leaf and
blossom;
The ever-grateful smell of fresh
ly-plowed earth, and the prosperous
comfortable, "well-fed" fill Of a rich
soil filled with humus;
The pungent, aromatic smell OF fat
lightwood, and the more subdued
fragrance of freshly cut oak;
The rare beauty of form, so much
loved by artists, of grape leaves and
hanging grape punches;
The penetrating, mountaineering
fragrance of ripe scuppernongs at
dewfall in early September;
The rare beauty of line Of long
leaf pines silhouetted against twi-
light sky;
The grace of vell-kept meadows OF
lawns with struggling wild flowers
on the edges, reminding one of Swim
burne's line
"Where tides of grass break into
foam of fowers;"

little brooks as they hurry down tc
