Litvinoff Says Russia Could Not

The Hague, July II. (By the Associ

the representatives Of Russia here
broke down this afternoon without
apparent hope Of further meeting.
Maxim Litvinoff of the Russian
d legation said ON leaving tie con-
ference chamber that further meet

insisted on Russians making
promises with regard to property com
pensation and giving guarantees
which were impossible until the Rus
SLAMS knew what credits and loans
they would be granted. Litvinoff
said that the Power Act would hold
Tor one month after the last meeting.

Grant Was extremely Sensitive.

General Grant seems to have been
extremely sensitive When he came
10 the end of his second term at West
Point he was given furlough and
went home on leave In his gray uni,
form. The little country town IN
which his parents lived was immense,
ly amused by the smart uniform, and
the ieers of the inhabitants were
never-ending. Grant was so hurt by
them that he never again willingly
wore a uniform. Whenever the reg.
ulations insisted. he mounted it, but
as soon as permitted, he doffed Il
again.
During the, war this was translated
into scorn of fine uniforms General
Grant was oftener seen in the garb OF
a private soldier-hls stars concealed
by coat or cluak-than in the double.
buttoned blouse of his rank.

FISH SENSITIVE TO CHANGE
Sudden Variation OF temperature VIII

or Destroy Them.

FISH are very quick to feel a change
Of temperature In their native ele-
ment, and sudden cooling or heating
Of the water Is very Injurious to
them.

to drive herrings to find cooler waters

cobelln Tapestries.

The most famous products 10 the
history OF weaving are the so-called
Gobelin tapestries, fashioned in the
factory on the site where many years
ago Jean and Phillbert Gobelin, mer-
chant dyers Of scarlet, had their works
The name OF Gobelin has always been
identified with the product of these
ancient looms, which, for over 250
years have turned out tapestries solely
for the state. In times of peace these
never leave France except as gifts to
visiting kings and chief magistrates.
Formerly 300 artisans and appren-
tices were employed In the Gobelln
works, weaving textiles after designs
by LIE Brun, Boucher and many cele-
brated artists. To-day the workmen
number 90 and, as an expert weaver
can produce only flve square feet a
year, 1t Is understandable why the
tapestries bring such exceedingly high
prices. II is estimated that the
minimum value of a square foot Of
Gobelin tapestry is $780,

To Prevent Foo. Trouble,

One OF the supremely important
points to be remembered in shoe fit-

into the widest part Of the shoe, where

The Evergreen Tree
By Christopher G. Hazard

81 70; 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)
THE servants had retired and left
4 the old lady alone. She sat be.
fore the decorated and lighted tree
that was burdened with gifts that
seemed to have no destinations. For
Mrs. Stone was long past the wanting
of gifts and no companions; young or
old, sat with her, because she wished
to be alone with her memories.
She was not as alone as she seemed
to be, for, in the great chair opposite
to hers memory placed the fairy figure
of the child who had glanced and
danced about the house and under the
Christmas tree of long ago. Beside
her there sat one who seemed to lay
his hand again upon hers in happy
and satisfied affection, while there
bent over her the strong and tender
youth who vas once her hope for later
years. Again the old house seemed
full of joy, and noisy merriment drove
out the deathly stiffness, while the
tree that is always green spoke of the
Immortality of happiness.
The next day, when the servants
dismantled the evergreen tree, it was
found that every gift was marked
with a name, and they were busy that
Christmas morning in distributing new
happiness about the neighborhood.

the danger of a contiagration in

are lighted with candles, although
this danger is being partially over

the display of tree decorations, and in
some sections of Europe the festival
