 New York. April 29 - 'I must blouse now to meet some tomato and lap the noddle juice and then for an egg harbor."
 A strange language. you say. But adjust your wave length to the proper distance and hark to the "flapper" in conversation with the ''shifter.''
 4 "flapper," says Cosmo Hamilton weH-known author, is one with jlt- 'shifter" is a new species who flaunts his banner Something for noth- ing and then very httle-'
 Between the two they have evolved ness and slangy in its construction
 Blouse" in the "flapper' code is 'to go." or "go.'' Tomato is more complex. A young woman shy of brains becomes known in the flap per or 'shifter" set as a tomato. Lap means drink "Noodle-juice" when finally decoded becomes mere plain, ordinary tea. Egg harbor'- here the shifters and flappers have eXcelled themselves-turns out to be a free dance.
 What It All Means
 So that exudation T must blouse to meet some tomato and lap some nod dl ejuice and then for an egg harbor" to the initiated means 'I must go meet some girl and drink some tea and then for a free dance.'
 Simple enough. But the sweet, young thing with bobbed hair and skirts to her knees and manniSh hat at a rakish angle, says:
 T gotta date with some slat who, dearie, probably will be a flatwheel- CT. He's going to grubstake me to nose ebaggery, but if he's a snugglepup I'll soon find out.'
 Now what?' you exclaim is dis may.
 'Slat' to the flapper is the male of the species. "F'latwheer'' is her characterization of a -'slat'' shy of funds who takes his lady friends to free affairs. 'Grubstake" is to treat or invite. "Nosebagger to the ''flapper'' is what a restaurant is to the ordinary mortal. ''Snugglepup" is a young man who is fond of betting and betting paries. And so the cvryp- tic sentence clears to the average human.
 Old-Iime Slang Passes
 Old-time slang gradually is, losing ground before the combined vernacu- lar onslaught of the "flapper'' and "shifter." In tho dim past the young woman escorted to her home by some ''smugglepup' would draw herself up in naughty grandeur, fix cold stare on the young man and eXclaim:
 That's all there is there ain't no Inore''
 And then swirl away from her com pany, leaving him oftimes in a daze at the audiences and unexpected ness of the occurrence, allowing him

SOVIET AND FRENCH DELEGATES
DINE TOGETHER AND TALK
OVER PLANS.
LLOYD GEORGE is HOST
Result of This Informal, Personal
Gathering is Strong Belief That
Compromise Will Be Arranged
Satisfactory to All.

Genoa-The Bolshevik delegates and
the representatives of France to the
economic conference broke bread to-
gether at the residence of Premier
Lloyd George. and there has been an
appreciable rise as a consequence in
the expectations that the conference
may have good results, even liz the
most pessimistic quarters here.
The occasion for the meeting of the
soviet and French delegates at table
was conference which began early
in the morning and lasted throughout
the day, in which French, Russian,
Belgian, Italian and British repre-
sentatives participated and during
which Mr.. Lloyd George invited all TO
luncheon.
The meeting was called by Mr..
Lloyd George for discussion of the
Russian problem, with the purpose of
clearing up uncertain points in the
London experts report before the
Russians present their final reply
to it.
This carrying of the most vital part
of the business of the conference into
such an informal gathering where
personal contact may possibly remove
much of the animosity that has been
displayed in the public sessions. has
created general feeling in confer
once circles that compromise might
be arranged on the Russian problem
which will afford a satisfactory
working basis for the reconstruction
of Russia.
The keynote of the allied position
at the conference was that Russia
first must satisfy past pledges before
obtaining any concessions for the fu-
ture. In other Words Russia must
recognize debts of the czarist govern
ment before Soviet claims against the
allies can be entertained.
The Russians have caused a state
ment to be circulated through NJ.
Rakovsky, the Ukrainian premier, and
other delegates, to the effect that Rus
sia already has enacted laws and
made court reforms and regulations
affecting foreigners residing in Rus
sia which meet many of the criticisms
of the London experts report regard
ing the Soviet government, and that
they also have expressed willingness
to acknowledge pre-war debts and sig
nified their purpose to erase their
claims against the allies arising from
the operations OF the Wrangel. Dene-
kin and Yudenitch armies against the
Soviet regime of the allied war claims
against Russia are wiped out.

U. s. RECOGNIZES NEW
REGIME IN GUATEMALA
Old Government Was Overthrow on
December 6, 1920-New President
Elected In February.

Washington.-Rec has been
accorded the new government of Qua
temala by the United States.
Announcement of the action of the
American governmen twas made in
the following statement issued by the
state department:
The secretary of state announces
that the president has recognized the
new government of Guatemala"
In recent years there has never been
any considerable period when govern
ments in Guatemala were not recog-
nized by the United States. That of
Manuel Estrada Cabrera, who ruled
the country for many years, was recog-
nized, and when it was overthrown on
April IA, 1920, the Herrera administra-
tion, which succeeded it, was recog-
nized within a few months.
The Herrera administration was
overthrown on the night of December
6 last, and the national assembly soon
thereafter designated Gen. Orellana
president ad interim. He was elected
president in February and was inaug-
urated March A, due notice to this ef-
feet being communicated to Wash
ington.

PASSES AMENDMENT TO 1925 MA
VAL BILL INCREASING EN-
LISTED FORCES.
VOTE CAST OF 1T TO 1870
"Big Navy" Men Win Victory While
Chairman Kelley Goes Down Fight
ing To Keep Total of 67,ooo-
Present Bill 5000.

Washington.-With nearly so votes
to spare, big Navy" men put through
the house, by vote of lit to 130, an
amendment to the 1925 naval bill in
creasing the enlisted force from 67,-
900 TO $4,000.
Shot at from all sides, the bill, as
framed by the appropriations commit
tee and opposed by President Harding,
wabbled at times like frail craft
then went down by the head. There
are other sections, of course. to be
taken up, but the big fight was on the
enlisted provision.
The vote was in committee of the
whole When the measure reaches the
house proper demand will be in or
der for recorded vote, but the wide
margin by which the amendment won,
means, according to most leaders, that
the result will stand.
Some administration leaders assert
that the letter presented from the
president urging that the force be not
reduced below $4,000 swung the tide
In favor of the amendment, which was
offered jointly by Representative Nc
Arthur, Oregon, and Ware, Pennsyl-
vania, both republicans.
Fighting to the last, holding his
ground through four solid hours of de-
bate, Representative Kelley. of Michi-
gan, in charge Of the bill, took the de-
feat with a smile when a roar, rising
and growing, swept the chamber as
the march OF members down the aisle
for man-to-man count showed that
the amendment had won.

JAPAN ANXIOUS FOR
FIVE POWER TREATY
Hopes Treaty VIII BE Put Into Force
Without Any Delay.

Washington.-The Japanese govern
ment is hopeful that the five-power
naval limitation treaty may be put into
force without delay, ''and that the time
is near when the powers will be able
to go step further in this happy di-
rection"
These statements were made by Pre-
mier Takahashi in an address at a
dinner given in honor of Baron Kato,
head of the Japanese delegation, to the
arms conference.
AS regards the army the Japanese
premier said, mo immediate material
result was obtained, but the addition
to the laws of war of new and effec-
tive principles intended to mitigate the
suffering of our fellow-men and wo-
men, and the project to convene
an International conference with a
view to reaching an agreement on the
subject, SO that it may meet the re-
quirements of the changing world, am
ply testify to the spirit that animates
this enlightened age"
Premier Takahashi declared that the
Washington conference was sue
cess, both qualitatively and quanti-
tatively."
THE quadruplex treaty" he said,
will safeguard the peace of the Pa
cific region, which is destined to be a
scene of busy human activity in the
future and scene where the interests
of these and other powers are closely
involved The entente has consolidated
the cordial relations hitherto existing
between the signatories and has given
to the neighboring countries an assu-
rance of friendship. This treaty has
opened new chapter in the history OF
International concerts and new era
has dawned upon the whole world,
with greater and nobler promises than
has ever been known BEFORE"

ANTHRACITE COAL HOLDS UP
Geological Survey Says the NonUnion
Fields, Where Operation Is Con-
tinued, Produced 1922 Cars
On April 10th.

Washington. coal pro-
duction in the United States reduced
rs per cent when miners in unionized
fields walked out April /, is now show
ing slight increase, it was reported
by the Geological Survey. Non-union
fields, where operations are continu-
ing, produced 1872 carloads April 10,
and have forged slowly ahead on each
succeeding day until on April 13, the
last day recorded, when the output
was 11,4S0 cars.
The production on April 13, though
less than districts now at work are
able to produce when demand is ac-
tive" the survey said was the great
est of any single day since the strike
began.
On April production was HAS car
loads, but in the next few days output
even in non-union fields showed ten
dency to fall off. On the last full week
for which the surveys report accounts,
that ending April 8, the total bitumi-
nous production was 3,784,000 tons.

anthracite was also reported, though
the miners strike is considered most

ly to be exceeded in the week ending
April Is, the report indicated
Comparing conditions to those en-
countered during the last great sus-
pension in the industry-the strike of
191s-the survey remarked that dur
ing the first week Of the strike, pro-
duction was only 3.582,000 tons of BIZ
luminous, while anthracite mining was
not interfered with at all.
Existing demand is not able to call
out full production in those districts
remaining at work. the survey con-
cluded. 'From mines in many non
union fields reports of no market and
dull demand continue to be increased.
The number of cars loaded at the
mines to consumers was very large
when the strike began, but latest re-
ports from railroads show that 1t is in
creasing rather than decreasing"
