Rest

(By Edna l.. O. Worthing)
When the walls of life are black
And our souls are stained with sin
And there's darkness everywhere,
God let's the light come in.
When the clang Of noise is heard
And voices are loud and sarill
And there's clamor everywhere.
God makes all things seem still.
When the toll of day is hard
And our cares come thick and fast
And there's trouble everywhere,
God gives us rest, at last

Business Woman Feared She Had
 Heart Trouble

"Since Tanlac has overcome a bad ease of indigestion and nervousness of three or four years standing for me, my work here in the store is a pleasure, and I am certainly grateful for the good health it has given me- said Mrs. J. W. Pickins, of 516 E. 18th St., Los Angeles, who owns and oper- ates the book store at 219 Mercantile Place.
 q was so run down that I felt miser- able all the time. My sleep was broken and restless, I had no appetite, and the gas from undigested food caused my heart to palpitate so I thought 1 had heart trouble. For time had 8 swelling in my legs too, and 1t was an effort for me to get about.
 "It is wonderful how Tanlac has given me such perfect relief from these troubles. I eat heartily now, sleep like child at night, and just feel fine all the time."
 Tanlac is sold by all good druggists. Advertisement.

PARLIAMENT OPENS
VARIOUS FACTIONS START WAR;
 FARE AT FIRST SESSION..
LLOYD GEORGE ELECTED LEAD- FER OF NATIONAL LIBERAL
 PARTY.

London, Nov. 23.-The opening o1 the business session of Parliament quickly revealed what is likely to be the paramount question in both Houses, apart from Irish legislation for which the session was especially called. The keynote of this was struck in the kings speech-unemploym
 As soon as the time-honored cere. monies incident to the state opening of Parliament were concluded and be- fore the new Parliament really set tied down to it's duties, it became evident that the governments hope of limiting the discussions to the Irish bill would be disappointed. Labor, through the mouth of its new parlia. mentary leader, J. Ramsey MacDon- aid, immediately fastened onto the governmental confession in the kings speech that it has no new policy with respect to this important question, but depends only upon an examination of the late coalition governments pro- posed remedies.
 The tenor of the opposition speeches in the debate on the address was to press the prime minister to receive an unemployed" deputation. This, how ever, Mir. Bonar Law seems determined not to do. In further reply to a re- newed request by the deputation for an interview, he refused again on the same ground, namely that orderly ad- ministration will become impossible if every group desiring to raise a de- partmental question ignores the re- spOnsible minister.
 Lord Birkenhead, in the House of Lords, referred to the extreme gravity of the unemployment question, for which no statesmen yet had devised a remedy.
 John Robert Clynes, former parlia- mentary labor leader, moved an amendment to the address, expressing regret that the government has no pro- posal for adequate treatment of the un- employment problem, nor any indica- tion of change of policy to enable European customers to buy British goods again, and so restore information al trade and stabilize international ex- chang
 The new Communist member, J. T. W. Newbold, and Edwin Scrygeour, who defeated Winston Spencer Church. i'll in the recent elections, got them selves early into the limelight with somewhat violent speeches. MT. New bold came into conflict with the speak CT in his first speech, in which he de scribed the opening state function as "a tom fool show," the cost of which would better have been devoted to the unemployed.
 Mir. Lloyd George was present but did not speak. Rumors that he intend ed to retire for the time appear to be unfounded, for he was unanimously elected leader of the National Liber- als at meeting of that party

NEGRO CREATES
 SENATE SCENE
UPROAR FOLLOWS ATTEMPT TO QUESTION SENATOR
 fCHcOck.
CLEMENCEAU REbUKED
SENATE REOPENS ATTACK ON POLICIES OF FRENCH
 STATESMAN.

Washington.-The Tiger of France again came under fire in the Senate when his utterances on his tour of the United States were the subject of a conflicting .cbate, which was en- livened by an interruption from the gallery by Negro soldier
 Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Ne braska, former chairman of the for eign relations committee, led off in the debate with an attack on M. Clemen- ceau and of French policies, and was joined in the criticism by other sen ators, while Senator Myers, Democrat, Montana, came to the defense of the French statesman.
 Senator Owen, Democrat, Okla ma, also expressed sympathy with M. Clemenceau's mission to America, but criticized French policies.
 It was during Mr. Hitchcocks at tack upon the wartime premier in connection with alleged atrocities of black French cOlonials in Germany that the negro soldier, who later gave his name as Lucius Jones, patient at a government hospital near here, rose in the gallery and sought to question the senator. Vice President Coolidge banged the gavel and Senate attend ants rushed forward and restrained the man, so that the question was nev- CT asked but excitement prevailed in the Senate
 Senator Hitchcock especially criti- cized the statements of M. Clemen- ceau in reference to the quartering of French "black troops" on the Rhine, declaring the former premier's de- nials of the use of these troops had been disproved. He also attacked the French separations demands on Germany.
 Senator Myers, in defending M. Clemenceau, deplored Senator Hitch cocks criticism of the French states man and commended French policies toward Germany Senator Owen, al- though criticizing French policies, ex- pressed sympathy with M. Clemen- ceau's mission, saying the visitor was making pathetic appeal to Amer ica."
 He declared, however, that M. Clemenceau was largely responsible, through the Versailles treaty, for present European difficulties. and pre- dicted that the American people would not cooperate with France while she continued her present policies.
 Nevertheless, he added, he believed the "visit of Ciemenceau will be of great value in the discussion, frankly, honestly, fearlessiy," of matters under public discussion as result of the former premiers utterances.
 Senator Myers declared he resented having M. Clemenceau 'rebuked and assailed" and added that he was in complete agreement with M. Clemen- ceau's argument that America erred in not joining the League of Nations"

TURKS DEMAND
 NEUTRAL. ZONE
MoSLEMS ARE DENIED CLAIMS FOR PLEBIScITE IN
 TERRACE.
BULGARS DISTRUSTFUL
BULGARIAN DELEGATION IN- sISTS ON OUTLET TO
 AEGEAN SEA.

Lausanne.-A review of the first week of the Lausanne conference shows that Turkey met signal defeat in her first demand, namely, for a plebiscite in western Thrace, which she maintains is overwhelmingly of Turkish population. The Turks, how. ever, have placed on the diplomatic board proposal which is affording great embarrassment to all the powers they want neutral belt marked out along the entire European frontier from the Black sea to the Aegean and they want the powers to guarantee that it shall be kept neutral.
 This unquestionably Is a move cal culated to secure peace in the Balkans, but Europe hesitates to take over di- rect responsibility concerning Balkan territory, where so many wars have been fought and where the national aspirations" are still a powerful fac tor for discord.
 Similarly Turkey asks that the Aegean islands which lie near her Anatolian coast be demilitarized and an autonomous form of government established. This is an extension to the sea of the neutral belt proposal, suggested for the Balkans.
 When it comes to a settlement of the straits treaty, Turkey will un- doubtedly demand additional strong guarantees against aggressions by Christian Europe. Ismet Pasha ap- pears to be looking up as an astute statesman.
 The Bulgarians are angry over the virtual decision to make Deaghatch merely free port instead of a sover- eign Bulgarian commercial center. The Bulgarian delegation has issued a broadside to the press condemning Greek objection as voiced by Venize- los; it insists that an outlet for Bull garia to the Aegean sea would be ef- fective only If its access were assured through territory either Bulgarian or autonomous, and declares that any other solution would be palliative, en- tailing dangerous consequences with respect to Bulgarian trade. It con- cludes:
 Bulgaria, though defeated and hu- initiated, has at least the right to re- fuse this gift, which reminds her too much of the old tale of the Danaos, so thoroughly in conformity with the Hellenic traditions of the days of Troy"
 In other words Dedeaghatch, with out absolute possession, it is consid- cred, would be left-handed present of doubtful value in the event of new Balkan intrigues or conflicts.

RIVER TREATY SIGNED
AGREEMENT PROVIDES EQUITA-
 BILE DIVISION OF WATERS
DEVELOPMENT OF VAST WEST. ERIN REGION IS RESULT OF
 SANTA FEE MEET.

Santa Fe, N. M.-In the historic Ben Hur room of the old Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, and upon the lapboard upon which General Lew Wal lace wrote most of his manuscript representatives of seven states signed compact to secure the expeditions agricultural and industrial develop ment of the Colorado river basin. the storage of it's waters and the protec- tion of life and property from flood The states signatOry to this com pact, the first of its kind in America, are Arizona, California, Colorado, Ne vada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The signers, in the order in which the states are named, are w. $. Norviel, w. F. Mcclure, Delph E. Carpenter, J. G. Scrugham, Stephen B. Davis, Jr., R. E. Caldwell and Frank C. Emerson.
 The treaty seeks to provide for the equitable division and apportionment of the use of the waters of the Colo rado river system; to establish the relative importance of different bene- ficial uses of water. to promote inter- state comity and to remove causes of present and future controversies"
 The compact divides the river basin into two divisions, the upper including Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico; the lower Arizona, Nevada and California. The agreement appor- tions in perpetuity to each section the exclusive beneficial use" of 100000 acre-feet of water annually, including water necessary for supplying existing rights.
 The lower basion also is given the right to increase such use of water by 100000 acre-feet a year. It is pro- vided that if the United States recog- nizes any right of Mexico to use of the Colorado waters it shall be supplied by the surplus, by the two divisions equally.
 Further apportionment of unap- propriated waters may be made forty years hence, if the present apportion- ment has been fully utilized. Use of the river for navigation is made sub- servient to agricultural use. The right of no state to .egulate water use with in its boundaries is abridged.
 Through the appointment of commis- sioners, whose acts are subject to leg islative approval, provision is made for settling future interstate contro- versies. Present perfected rights to the beneficial use of water are un- impaired; the compact may be termi- mated at any time by unanimous con- sent, and nothing in it is to affect obligations by the government to the Indians, nor shall anything in it limit legal proceedings to enforce it.
 Provision is also made for the set ting up of a committee of state and national water officials, for the col lection of information and the meas urement of the flow of the river. The compact is to become binding when ratified by the State Legislatures and Congress.
 Confidence that the State Legisla- lures will all approve the compact was expressed by various commission CTS.
 Signature of the treaty followed eighteen days of the most intense ac- tivity on the part of Secretary Hoover and the commissioners, during which time apparently insurmountable diffi- culties were overcome.
