Dali - AnglO-Irish Treaty Is Rati-
fled By Safe Majority.

DUBLIN, Jan. .. Associated Press. J
AS soon as the Dali Eireann was con-
vcned this morning Eamonn DeValera
arose and placed his resignation as presi-
dent of the Irish republic formally be
fore the house.
Mrs. Thomas Clarke moved the re-elec-
ton of Mr. DeValera as president of the
republic. Liam MeIlowes seconded the
motion.
Michael Collins, supporter of the Irish
treaty, which was ratified Saturday said
that no one in the Dali wished to be put
in the position of opposing President De
Valera. He pointed out that the Dali was
now faced with the problem of taking
over the government from the British and
he suggested the formation of a committee
whose members would be chosen from
both sides of the controversy to keep
peace. Work and not talk was now re
quired he added.
Arthur Griffith. speaking after Collins
had concluded said the question of the
treaty had been constitutionally settled
and that there was nothing to prevent
its terms being carried out.
After the denomination of DeEalnra for
the presidency Collins, addressing the
Dail said he wouldn't object to the re-elec-
tiOH of President DeFalera but that if Mr.
DeEalera were reelected the people would
turn on the Dali and the Dali would be
the laughing stock of the world.
The treaty creating the Irish Free
State was ratified Saturday night by the
Dali Eireann. BY a majority of seven

Constantinople, Dec. ,. (by the

trying to find husbands for $50
members of the former Sultan's
harem. The women range in age
from II to 35 years. All Of them
are penniless.
Rafet also Is anxious to solve
the fate of the former mouarCh's
numerous progeny, as we'll as that
of 20 princes and princesses Of the
royal blood. Since the sultan's
flight the nationalist government
has been supporting these women
in addition to 100 Eunichs and
many servants. The government
now has decided that these people
must shift for themselves.

II wish you could have stood
with me in the tower OF the old

parade ground not at an army of
soldiers, but into the joyous up
turned faces of 1000 little boys and
girls, as they formed human star,
the insignia of the Near East relief,
and the star of Hope to them.
Everyone or these little ones was
alive because of American gener-
osity. If you could see them wave
their homemade American flags,
and hear them shout their graft
tude, you would say it is worth
While that we saved these little
ones.

their only hope! And America will

STROKE OF PARALYSIS

Weinman, giving the news that
her husband had a few days be-
fore, suffered stroke of paralysis
of the right side at their home in

stroke is quite severe, his attend

any immediate danger. Mr.. Vein

this period has been greater or
smaller than before. If one has
earned more than previously and
has nothing to show for it, his
success is not equal to that of the
person who has not been able to
earn so much, but who has been
practicing thrift, and therefore
has something to show for the
years accomplishments.
Very few persons are purposely
or willfully thriftless. Lack Of
thrift is in most cases the result
of procrastination. Many of those
who are not thrifty feel that they
have not reached a place where
circumstances or personal con-
venience will permit of their saw
ing money.
But do not allow yourself to be
deceived by any such false reason
ing. Generally speaking, it is just
as easy to begin thrift one time as
another. 1t may seem to you that
in the future you will be better
fixed for saving money, but as you
go on, month after month, you
will find that even though condi-
tions may apparently improve with
you the temptation to waste your
financial resources is just as
strong.
The coming New Year will be, a
most auspicious time for the be-
ginning Of thrifty life. Do not
procrastinate, no matter what
your circumstances in life may be.
Make the start.
Resolve that when this period
comes around next year you will
have something to show for your
time and labor. These end-of-the-
year days constitute an opportune
time for the start in thrift prac-
tices.
