THE Post Office department dis
- claims all responsibility for the
permanency of marriages effected
through matrimonial advertisements
in newspapers and through mail court.
ships.
Solicitor Edwards of the legal divi-
sion of the Post Office department is
daily besieged with letters from de-
serted brides, distraught and frantic in
their short-lived marriages, asking for
governmental assistance in locating
runaway husbands and pleading for
aid in prosecuting them.
In some instances these wives
blame the postal service for their
marital woes, demanding redress and
insisting that as they were wooed en-
tirely through the mails the depart
ment Is directly responsible.

of the Kansas State Bankers associa-

The letter states that the govern

Colored Canvas Now the Proper Caper

THOSE who use heavy canvas COW

cry and materials against the weather
can almost double the life of the fab
ric if they treat it to afford protection
against light as well as moisture and
mildew, the Department of Agriculture
declares in a recent circular.
After a series of experiments with
canvas In which waterproofing mix
lures were made with the addition Of
earth pigments, such as are used in
paints, the eXperimenters arrived at
the conclusion that keeping out the
light from the inner fibers affords con-
siderable protection to the fabric.
Since several pigments are suitable,
there Is more or less freedom of
choice as to color, the statement con-
tinues, For a buff or khaki color yell
low ochre can be used. For a darker
buff or light brown, raw sienna is
good; for dark red or reddish brown,
burnt sienna for olive brown, raw UNI

Common Sense in IL.

After four years absence from
home l missed on my return, the ia
miliar face of Aunt Mandy Martin,
one of the old family servants. On
inquiry l found that she had been an
almost helpless cripple for two years.
So / went to see her at once, writes
Mary Yerger Raymond in the Portland
Oregonian.
Aunt Mandy's wrinkled face ex-
pressed delight and wonder when l
came in and, after she had inspected
me critically for a while, she said !:

She nodded her head sagely. "Thet's
mighty nice, Miss Mildred, for there's
them tibet is and them tibet amt. Some
folks, when they marries, puts on
smoke glasses and some folks puts on
clar. Them thet's happy wears
smoke glasses"
She pulled a few minutes on her
corncob pipe, blew the smoke up the
chimney, and resumed meditatively.
Now, when l marries Jim, l puts on
clar glasses. Seems most like that

I'D been a heap better off if I'd
believed in his good intentions and
let him come along, and den forgive
him ebry time. But I'd stan right up

that the United States, in making the

"In answer to these inquiries" Mr..

1.-THE statement that the United
States government virtually insisted
on a guarantee by the British govern
ment of amounts advanced to the other
allies is evidently based on a misap-
prehension Instead Of insisting on a
guarantee or any transaction OF that
nature, the United States government
took the position that 1t would make
advances to each government to cover
the purchases made by that govern
ment and would not require any gov
eminent to give obligations for adj
vances made to cover the purchase OF
any other government Thus, the adj
vances to the British government, evil
denced by its obligations, were made
