UNIFIED STATES NOT
TO PARTICIPATE IN
ALLIED CONFERENCE

PARIS. Dec. 20. Persistent re-
ports that the United States would
participate in some form in next
weeks conference OF the inter-allied
premiers were definitely elimina ted
today on the receipt of the news
that the United States government
would take no part In the meeting.
Unofficial information reached Paris
today that the American administra-
ton regards the forthcoming pre-
miers meeting as purely European
affair and as not warranting inter-
vention by the United states.
Although it Is not believed the
state department al Washington has
made any statement, Interested gov
ernments. on inquiring in RESPONSE
BILE American source, were informed
that there did not seem to be the
slightest chance OF American partici-
patton. There was some suggestions,
however, that the breaking up OF
the conference and the probability
that this would certainly be followed
by French seizures in Germany
might provoke some eleventh hour
step by the United States.
Reports that Wilhelm Cuno, the
German chancellor, intends to startie
the premiers conference with defi-
mite proposals for four-power pact
which would guarantee the security
Of France and the present Franco
German frontiers reached Preparations
circles today. This pact. according
to the reports, would extend 80 years.
1t would be signed by Great Britain.
Italy France and Germany. The
United States also would be asked
to sign. but without assuming any
military obligations.
Germany Is keeping her new pro-
posa1s in the dark. The Preparations
commission has learned, however,
that among Chancellor Cunos pro-
posals will be one to pay a lump
sum somewhere between five billion
and eight billion gold marks. one
billion to be paid at once and the
remainder over a period Of 10 years.
This would be accompanied by cer-
tain form of allied financial control
sufficient to insure the balancing
Of Germany's budget and the stabil-
ization Of the mark.

.FIFTY-TWO FOREIGNERS
ARE ADMITTED TO FULL
CITIZENSHIP IN U. S.

Fifty-two foreigners were admitted
to United States citizenship by Judge
W. 1. Grub in the district federal
court Friday. Ninety petitions were
heard. The majority of the applicants
who failed to obtain citizenship pa
pers Friday will be given another
bearing at the March session of the
court, but several cases were dis
missed from further hearing because
of unfavorable answers made to ques>
lions asked by Judge Grubb.
The question which proved a
Waterloo for the majority of the ap-
plicants refused a further hearing
was: Would you be subject to mill
tary duty in the United States army
in case of war;" These applicants in
sisted that they would not be subject
to such duty because they were citi-
zens of foreign country by birth.
Such reply proved fatal to any
dreams which pictured Uncle Sam
throwing fatherly arms about a chill
who refused to face any dangers IN
return fer his bounteouA blessings. :
Italy and Greece furnished the
greatest number of applicants. Othsr
European countries represented in
cluded Russia. Germany. Poland,
Great Britain. Austria and Syria.

AMERICAN DELEGATES
MAKE ANOTHER PLEA
FOR EAST SUFFERERS
BY Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Dec. 20. America
made another appeal today in behalf
of the Near East refugees when the
delegates representing the United
states at the Near East peace con-
ference pleaded that in the general
amnesty arrangements to be nego-
!. tiated with Turkey suitable provis-
i6ii%p De made for Armenians and
ether refugees who fled from Tur-
key and may wish TO return. The
Americans asked that Turkey engage
to restore to these refugees their
properly.
What action the entente nations
will take on the plea of Armenia for
a national home in Turkey probably
will be decided tomorrow. At this
time the delegates of Great Britain
France and Italy will consider the
petition which the Armenians pre-
scented a few days ago.
No progress was made today by.
the subcommission on minorities be-
fore which the American appeal was
epresented. The jurists to whom the
amnesty clause of the proposed treaty
was submitted reported they were
unable to agree as both the Turks
and Greeks had interjected too many
controversial political considerations.
Confronted by persistent Turkish OBJ
jections the subcommission voted to
drop the British amendment stipu
lating the appointment Of League
of Nations representative to super
wise Turkeys treatment of minori-
ties.
The conference deadlock on the
big issues continues; apparently An
CORA must speak before the Otto
man delegates can make conclusions
of a nature tC ease the present deli
cate position of peace negotiations.

"Status of Bank Reflects

Says Manager Walker.
10 New Member Banks Sc
cured During the Year

The Birmingham branch of the
Federal Reserve bank of the Sixth
district did larger business by
$3.50, 100000 in 1922 than it did in
1921 and made a new high record,
the 1922 volume being 81, 153,000,-
600. This compares with $923,000
in 1921.
The bank has more money on
hand than there is call for. The
borrower is not at all conspicuous
by his presence in the money mar
ket. Large sums, which member
banks find no ready. use for, are
sent to the reserve bank for deposit.
Automatically the New York con-
nections of these banks receive GER
titled notice of the deposits and
they become available for call
money in the metropolis. Prior to
reserve system this money had
to be transmitted in cash at cost Of
insurance and express before it be-
came a credit.

The bank now has sS members

year, an increase Of 19 new mem
bers.
Last year the average number OF
daily transactions was 1900. To-
day it is 10000, an increase of 5000
items per diem.
The officers of the bank are w. H.
Kettig, chairman: Oscar Wells. T.
o. Smith, w. w. Crawford and J. H.
Frye. directors; Mex Walker, mana
ger and w. C. Sterritt, cashier.
"The status of the bank reflects
the prevailing good conditions"
said Maj ager walker. There IS
much less borrowing this year than
last. That means, of course, less
money is being made by the bank,
but it shows easy money conditions.
Our large increase in banker mem
beers reflects the extension of our
territory Of operation.

pens to be in vogue at this time, and
its list is not the one sought.
Who are the women in America who
are doing things, have contributed to
the world something that has made it
wiser, happier or better because they
have lived and wrought That is the
question.
So far, Carrie Chapman Gait, leader
in the woman movement, is the first
choice in large number of lists. The
list of the New York Times submitted
fafter saving "the truly great woman
is not known outside of her home,' in
cluded the following in the order nam
ed Geraldine Farrar, Edith Wharton,
Carrie Chapman Gait, Molla Mallory,
Alice Paul, Ida Tarbell, Jane Adams,
Amy Lowell, Minnie Madden Fiske,
NJ, Carey Thomas, Mary Pickford,
Agnes Repplier Do you know of these
women9 Some of them are familiar
enough but others may not be known
so well.
Many others have nominated women
which include artists, writers, actresses,
opera singers, social workers, college
presidents, publicists, but a fact noted
by many is that in these lists there
are no names of moth-rs-of those who
have raised families.
In discussing the list OF the New
York Timese Miss Mandujano says:
81 wish to refer to your article IN
which you say, it may be remarked
that six of the - named, have never
married and if memory is right, the
married ones have not produced single
child. Let those who think it is easy
to manage first rate career and a
first rate home simultaneously find an
explanation of that. 1t leaves the dis
couraging impression that perhaps after
ALL women S efforts are, If not harm
full, at least futile, vain and useless. -
But the Chilian writer caNs attention
to the fact that millions of children IN
our big cities are today growing health
ier, have happier homes and better
schools, because of the effort of some
women who, not blessed with homes of
their own, have struggled and succeed
ed in obtaining for them better
chance in life. II consider these to be
mothers in the highest sense" she
says.

y. w. &. A. CAMP
Mrs. Thomas Beeman who is back
from vacation at Hi Pass camp, is
enthusiastic in her praise of conditions
she found, 'clear beyond expecta-
tions, she says, and she is urging Ell
Centre people to rest there weekends
if not for longer vacations.
The camp is open to everybody,
young and old and for any length of
time at a price so low people marvel
at it. There s a fine dinner or supper
for 35 cents and breakfast at 80
cents, after a night in a good bed out
in the open, lovely live oaks, and run
ming water flowing from clear, cool
springs, and green sward under the
trees, dotted at this time with wild
4hyacinth in full bloom.
The hikes are good appetizers and
there are many places to go round
about. After the hike or early in the
morning, the guests have two swim
ming tanks and shower.
There are cabins and tents on the
ground for those who want them at a
nominal price and all have the privi-
leges of the camp table, no other cook
ing being permitted.
The camp is near the postoffiee and
an automobile meets the train daily. A
good road leads to the camp from the
highway for those driving up.
Mrs. Beeman says the hospitality of
the hostess Mrs. Phelps makes every
guest feel Immediately at home and
welcome. She found several families
located there from various parts of the
valley. Weekend guests listed by Mrs
Beeman were w. l.. Carey and family,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
If the whipped cream refuses to stay
whipped, try this method. For each pint
of cream measured before whipping,
allow scant teaspoon of granulated
gelatin. Soak in as little water as will
soften it, add one half cupful of boil
ing water and stir until entirely dis
solved. To this add three fourths cup
sugar and whatever flavoring is desir-
ed for the cream, whip until it be-
comes white and begins to get firm,
but stop before it gets ropy. Beat this
by spoonsful into the cream which has
been beaten as stiff as possible.
To cook an old fowl, add one tea
spoon vinegar to the water and boil.
1t will be as tender as young chicken.
An Imperial valley cook gives this
suggestion for fried chicken:
After the chicken is fried in the
usual way, make a nice, smooth cream
gravy, somewhat thinner than usual,
place chicken in a covered dish and
pour gravy over it. Set dish in oven
for 20 minutes and serve.
Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and
other stains from white cloth or from
the hands.
