New Brunswick Is
Planning to Take
Over Booze Deals

Fredericton, N. B., Feb. l.
Adoption of a government liquor
monopoly in New Brunswick, similar
to that now in vogue in Quebec and
British Columbia, is being consider
ed by provisional authorities be-
cause of the serious falling off in
revenue due to depression in the lum-
ber business.
A large part of the revnue Of this
province has been derived from
"stumpage on lumber cut on the pub
lie domain or Grown lands" In the
last year, it is announced, income
from this source dropped more than
$5O0,00O and the claim is made that
the government must choose between
direct taxation, on lands and income
or the liquor business which in the
case of Quebec has shown an es-
timated profit Of 100000 a year.

Many Tales of Hardships
AS the groups of rescued storm
victims arrived at Lebec they brought
tales of hardships that included stor-
les of children being out all night in
the gale, kept alive by the warmth
of the mothers body. Daylight re-
vealed cars along the highway with
in few feet of each other, where the
occupants of neither car knew of the
proximity of the other. One machine
stopped within few yards of rang
er's camp, and the mother and father
and child spent the night in the car
clinging to each other for warmth.
Throughout yesterday men, wom-
en- and children came hobbling over
the trial to Lebec from the cabin of
Forest Ranger de Lapp of the TETON
district. Most of them will remain
here until their automobiles are
driven from the snowdrifts. Sacks
and old clothing yere bound around
the feet and limbs of many who were
caught in the unexpected blizzard
clad in too-light clothing.
In all, so persons were marooned
in the little three-room cabin at Le-
bee.
Floyd Johnson and Alton Self,
both 16, lost in a blizzard in the
80 miles east of here, were
led to safety by holding to the tail
of dog, it was learned today.
A short time later rescue party
found two other boys, lost in the
same binding storm, lying in the
snow exhausted.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-Graphic pic
lures of light-heartedness amid trag-
edy-the cheering smile of America
amid the starving hordes of Russia
are drawn by Beulah A. Hurley of
New Hope, Pa now member of the
Quaker relief unit, in letter from
the Volga district to the headquart-
ers of the unit here.
After describing the utter desola-
tion in her own immediate district,
where the bodies of the dead "are
piled up in trenches like so much
cordwood, the piles visible a quarter
of a mile away" Miss Hurley tells
of having received a letter from an
other relief worker, Doris White,
whose station is 0 miles from rail-
road.
. Miss White begged for more help"
Miss Hurley said, but asked that
they "send some one with no heart,
for it was a cruel task" She re-
ported that "cannibalism has begun
in the outlying districts and an old
woman and child of nine have fol-
lowed the cats and dogs that already
have been consumed"
Miss Hurley reached the famine
area of the Volgo in the middle of
December and is taking charge of the
distribution of Quaker relief among
15,0OO,0OO hunger-ridden people in
the Bazuluk district.

DEMOCRATS VOTE SOLID
Minority oined By Trio

(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 1.-Early ad-
justment of the differences between
the house and senate measure to
authorize the refunding of the eleven
billion dollar foreign debt, was look
ed for today following passage of the
senate bill. Three Republicans
Borah, LaFollette and Norris-join-
ed with the Democratic minority,
solid, in opposing the bill but through
the senate last night by vote of SO
to rs, giving authority to a commit
tee of five members, headed by the
secretary of the treasury, to refund
the foreign debt into securities ma
turing in not less than 25 years.
The bill as passed was amended by
provision stipulating that the in
terest on the refunded debt be not
less than 4A per cent.
Among the amendments which fail
ed of adoption was that offered by
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, proposing to add to the
measure a soldiers bonus provision
with the cost of the five way adjust
ed compensation to be paid out of
the foreign debt. Over the protest of
Democrats, motion was carried to
table the amendment.
After passing the refunding meas
ure, the senate adjourned until to-
morrow when the cooperative mar
keting bill will be taken up, having
been made the unfinished business
by the adoption of motion of Sem
ator Kellogg, Republican, Minnesota.
The adjournment was taken to permit
members to attend the plenary ses-
sion of the arms conference today.

Ends Race in Naval Com
petition He Tells
Conference
OF TREATY
Means Scrapping of All
Ships Now Being
Constructed
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 1. - Secretary
Hughes presented to the arms con-
ference at 1926 today the text of
the treaty for the limitation of naval
ornaments. The naval treaty was not
read, but Mr.. Hughes outlined its
terms. In conclusion he said that
no more extraordinary or significant
treaty probably ever was negotiated.
obviously it means an enormous
having of money and the lifting of
very heavy burdens from the people.
This treaty absolutely ends the race
in naval competition. At the same
time it leaves the security of the
powers unimpaired.. But it means
more. The best thing is the spirit
man ifested by which we were able
to reach this concession, We are
taking the greatest forward step to
establish the reign of peace" the Sec
retary said.
Also ready for presentation was
the separate treaty embracing the
declarations adopted imposing GER
tain restrictions on the use of sub
marines by the five powers and the
accompanying resolution condemning
the use of poison gas in warfare. De-
cision to put these two agreements
into formal treaty instead of leav-
ing them in the form of a protocol
not requiring parliamentary ratifica-
tlon, was reached only in the closing
minutes of the naval committee ses-
sion yesterday lat which the two
treaties were given final approval and
after preponderance of opinion was
shown in favor of tn eadopted course.
Prediction had been made by some
delegates prior to the converting of
the plenary session today that the
Shantung settlement concluded by
the Japanese and Chinese also might
be formally entered on the conferei.-,
record of accomplishments at the
meeting the drafting of the treaty
for restoration of the province to
China having then been virtually
completed. The settlement, it was
known today, was reached by accent
ance in substance by both sides of the
supported by President
Harding regarding the Tsingtao rail-
way.
The treaty contains only the fol-
lowing preamble in explanation of the
purposes of the five contracting gov
ernments in reaching the agreements
set forth:
Desiring to contribute to the
of the general peace, and
to reduce the burdens of competition
in armament;
Have resolved, with a view TO ac-
complishing these purposes, to con-
clude a treaty to limit their respec-
tive naval armament, and to that end
hive appointed as their plenipotentia-
ries ="
The treaty is divided into three
chapters. Chapter one contains the
general language of the agreements.
covered in 20 SEPARATE articles. Chap
ter two contains the detailed, speci-
nc agreements on naval matters, many
of them IN them in complicated tabu-
lar form, which amplify and complete
the meaning of the general agree
ments of chapter one. Chapter three
is devoted to miscellaneous provi-
sions" and contains four additional
articles o fthe treaty.
Chapter one is headed:
General provisions relating to the
limitation of naval armament
Article one Hereunder is merely
the agreement to limit naval arma-
ment as provided In the treaty.

brides. The natives were quick to
learn this, and focked to the mission
station to marry the mission girls, be-
cause they did not have to pay for
them. But the fathers of these girls
created lively disturbance because
they felt that they were being cheat

Finally the missionary was forced to
compromise. He permitted the father
to receives presents, provided the

Two Sides Of, Body Don't Match.

Two SIoSO o. tsoooy Ooh "~>S"'
The human body is not built
symmetrically. One-half Of the face Is
not exactly like the other half. If a
line is drawn separating the two
halves Of the physique, well-marked
differences may be noticed between
them. The sculptors Of Classic times
recognized this anomaly. and repre-
sented it in their statues. -.
Venus of Milo, for example, has an
asymmetrical face, that is, one in which
proportions are not consistent. Most
persons have heavier bones on the
right side than the. left. The two sides
of the face vary. The eye sockets in
both face and skull are Of different
size. The face usually seems to be
showed over toward the right side.
The ears are usually of different size
and differently modelled. The Shout
ders are not of the same height, and
are removed varying distances from
an imaginary dividing line drawn
through the center Of the body.
