about the same age, begins the pub

OF participation in the enterprise,
on account of her intense and nat

frankly annoyed, and not at all

a poem she has written is accepted
for insertion in the Oriole, on a
strictly commercial basis-cash I'm

stances, Herbert was among the
guests; and, though rather at a dis
advantage, so far as the conversation
was concerned. not troubled by the
handicap. The reason he was at a
conversational disadvantage was
closely connected with the unusual
supply OF refreshments; Uncle Joseph
and Aunt Carrie had foreseen the
coming of several more Atwaters than
usual, to talk over the new affairs of
their beautiful relative, Julia. Sci
dom have any relatives new affairs
been more thoroughly talked over than
were Julia's that evening, though all
the time by means CT various symbols,
since il was thought wiser that Her
bert and Florence should no yet be
told Of Julia's engagement, and Flor
ence's parents were not present to
confess their indiscretiOn, Julia vas
referred 10 as "the traveller" and other
makeshifts were employed with the
most knowing caution and all the
while Florence merely ate n~scrutably.

him. So .arr

KOZER SEEKS TO
CENTRAL|zE ALL
STATE BUYING

The GENERALIZATION Of the pur-
chasing power Of all state instr
tutions and state departments In
the state board Of control Is rec-
ommended by Secretary of State
Kozer as move for greater econ
omy and efficiency.
Under the present law the board
Of control purchases all provisions
supplies and equipment for the
various state institutions but pur-
chases by the various state COM
missions and departments al
handled by each commission and
department.
IA casual examination of the
prices paid for number OF stand
ard articles used in all offices re-
veals wide discrepancy in many
instances and ii Is the results OF
such examination that suggests to
me the wisdom 0f enlarging the
scope OF the present law so as to
include the purchase of the sup
plies for the many state offices.
departments and institutions
which are not now included under
it," Secretary OF State Kozer de-
clares.
"The adoption of such a policy
will not hamper or needlessly re-
strict any OF them not now includ-
ed under The law. II the activities
which, under existing laws are
benefited both financially and
otherwise in the purchase OF their
necessary supplies and equipment,
II is logical and reasonable to as
sumo that the same conditions will
follow with respect to all the other
state offices and institutions
which are not now included"
Prior to June 3, 1913, the secre-
tary OF state supervised the pur-
chase OF all supplies for the state
hospitals for the insane, state
prison institution for feeble mind
ed boys training school, indus
trial school for girls, tuberculosis
hospital, soldiers home, schools
for the deaf and blind and for the
legislature. At that Time all Of
these purchases with the exception
OF the legislative supplies we're
placed in the hands OF the board
OF control, the secretary to that
board acting as the purchasing
agent.

Proposal To Call Arms
Conference.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Admin-
istration senators under the lead
of Chairman Lodge of the foreign
relations committee, began in the
senate today determined fight
against the proposal of Senator
Borah, republican of Idaho, for a
new international conference in
Washington to discuss economic
conditions and disarmament.
Says Session Useless.
Senator Lodge, who was said
by his colleagues to have ascertain
ed the views of President Harding
and his administration advisers,
opened his attack as soon as the
senate began work on the Borah
proposal which is in the form of an
amendment to the annual naval
bill requesting the president to
call an economic and armament
conference.
The foreign relations chairman
Tecounted the difficulties of fur
ther armament limitation encoun-
tered at the Washington arms
conference year ago and declared
that in view of the attitude taken
by other powers it would be use
Less to attempt to limit land arm
aments unless it were established
before hand that France had
changed her position.
The fight on the senate floor
began after score of administra-
tion senators had conferred in
Senator Lodges offices and map7
ped out a program providing for a
resort to parliamentary tactics II
necessary to defeat the move by
Senator Borah. Part of the senate
irreconcilables who have voted
with Mr.. Borah on many other
questions Of foreign policy, also
were arrayed against his amend
ment, while the attitude of the
democratic side of the chamber
seemed to be waiting one, with
many members undecided whether
to support or oppose the confer
ence plan.
