Under resolution adopted by the armament committee. preparations for the new conference will begin immediately upon conclusion of the Washington negotiations. The United States. Great Britain. Japan, France and Italy will be represented, and the American government will select the exact time and place of meeting.
 The first step toward revision of warfare regulations Is to be taken by Commission" presumably com posed of international law experts without plenipotentiary powers. but the resolution provides that after they have agreed the five govern ments shall confer as to the accept ance of the report and the course to be followed to secure the cocsidera- tion of it's recommendations by the other civilized powers"
 National Policy
 1t Is taken for granted that uues- tions of national policy as well as legal considerations will enter into the final decisions reached, and that The whole problem of the submarine, pn6 OI lne SAOTul GSnleFS OI the M dSl- lnglon conference, will be reopened when the powers face eaen other once more about the council table. l. is possible that the tentative agree ments reached here both as to sub marines and poison gas will be passed along in their present from to pro vide a basis for these new discus sions.
 The armament conference adopted
  called while most of the other activi- ties of the conference were waiting on a decision of the Shantung con- troversy. The far eastern committee likewise met and readopted It's pre- vious declaration on the Chinese ra- dio situation, at the same time en- tering on the record supplemental suggestions of the powers and of China, on which no unanimous agree ment could be reached.
 shaptuns Negotiations
 Tho Shantung negotiations still hesitated Just short of an agreement, but the feeling seemed to be univer- sal that day or two probably would Sec a complete acceptance of the set clement plan supported by President Harding. The breach between the Japanese and Chinese was said to have been narrowed to a question of the extent to which the former shali participate in management of the Tsingtao-Tsinanfu railroad during the period in which China is complet- ing payment for 1t.
 In leaving determination of new rules of warfare to a later confer ence, the ornaments committee car ried out the recommendations of subcommittee of experts who spent weeks considering the subject.

More than one Paducahanrc remembers
the write-up of a social event which
occurred at Wallace Park several years
ago. 1t was proven in this case that
the error was the fault Of an excited
reporter. OF course, the operator fol-
lowed copy. In detail the reporter told
of the evenings pleasure, but mared
the whole society lead when he wrote
that "a suspicious gathering was
present" Every one knew "auspicious'
was the word intended, and laughed at
the break" knowing that even the
good Homer sometimes mods.
The story is told Of the mixing up Of
two news items in 4 Washington paper
many years ago. The announcement
that a minister was to be presented
with a token of appreciation by his
congregation was printed. A write-up
of newly patented pig-killng ma
chine which had been demonstrated
appeared in the same issue. This was
the rather amusing result of the two
stories being 'picd up" as the printers
say: Several of the Rev. d. n.
Mudgc's friends called upon him yes
terday and after a conversation the
unsuspecting pig was seized by the
legs and slid along the beam until he
reached the hot-water tank" 1t took
considerable explaining to set the
editor right that day, though he was
innocent of the miX-up.
John Locke, the Irish poet, was
known as THE Southern Gael When
| inc died an obituary appeared in one "T
the Irish-American journals and refer
lrad to him as The Southern Gale
This was a breezy trarspositicn, to be
sure, and changing the meaning con-
Isidcrably The editor did not get IN
bad" because the two letters were
transpos2d, though q promin0nt poll
tician did howl" when he saw intel
ligeace of his resignation from public
office printed undcr the he" ding or
Public Improvements" But the most
startling ridiculous transposition or
record is probably that appearing on
the first page Of q CHICAGO daily, f'i
breaks are certain to be displayed in
the most conspicuous places. First

above, is, then, the cause Of much
merriment and laughter-years after

the advertiser wrote the line. From
the best horses" was the way it ap-
peared in the paper, and complainant
was justified in becoming infuriated.
Thousands of our patrons are wear
ing trousers Of our make" and the
tailors who so advertised had reason
to be angry when the printer made the
fourth word of their announcement
read ''matrons." An English railway
company advertised requesting owners
Of unclaimed goods to remove same.
Come forward and pay the awful
charges on your merchandise" were
the final words of the advertisement.
One Il" was missing in lawful" and
thus the announcement became a
typographical curiosity. A writer, in
commencing the ability Of lady prin-
cipal Of n girls school, used this ex-
preston. "The reputation for which
she bears" But that horrid linotype
operator omitted the word (which"
and the cror created more than a
gigglc. A theatrical man not long since
contemplated writing an article on
Greenwood Cemetery's Dramatic
Shrincs." A Brooklyn paper announc-
ed his intention, and left the ''r' out Of
"shrincs." Few people know that Ada
Rehan's real name was Crehan. Early
in her career her name appeared on a
program without the CA typo
graphical error-and she was known
yer after as R"han.

boys whose names stand well who bor-
rowed tickets from friends or rela-

night they were kept out as far as
possible and the dance was not crowd

night and were not perfect, so that, in
spite CT all that could be done, about
dozen young men who were not q de-
sirable type. obtained admittance by
fraud. 1t was decided that there were
not enough of them to have them re-
moved.
"As to the girls there were only one
or two whose style of dancing caused
criticism.
"The suggestion Of an observer after
many years of attending dances is that
the best way to correct most Of the
evils is for the fathers of the girls to
attend the public dances in every town,
for the authorities to appoint either a
matron or committee Of ladies who
will agree to chaperone these dances
and to cause the removal of any man
or girl whose dancing is improper.
ANY man in Greenville who goes to
dances knows by sight the twenty or
thirty awkward and disgusting men

go through contortions on the dancing

quickly weed these people out and send
