LAUSANNE, Dec. 19.-Turkish
fears of submarines, Turkish fears
of swiftly flying military airplanes,
laden with bombs, and. generally
Turkish fears Of aggressions from
without that will put Gonstantinople
in danger have tonight placed the
whole Lausanne conference in jeop-
ardy.
The United States is silent but
the allies say tonight that they have
uttered their last word on the ques-
ton of liberty Of the straits. To-
morrow the Turks must say yes or
no to the allied project.
The British experts, Admiral
Reyes and General Burdett-stuart,
already have left fer England, and
the French experts are preparing
to depart tomorrow night at the
conclusion of the last session fer
discussion of the straits. Whether
rupture will come on the straits
problem depends chiefly on whether
the entente diplomats and their ex-
perts can remove the Turkish fears.
Reassuring ON Intentions
The diplomats are endeayoring to
convince the Angora statesmen that
tile straits project Is essentially
framed to meet conditions In times
Ct peace, aud that the allies are not
in any sinister hidden manner seek :
ing facilities for war and especially
against Turkey.
The allies have emphasized that
they cannot accept. the Turkish re-
quest for the suppression Of sub
marines and military alrplanes, es-
peciallys they have been unable to ac-
cept the Ottoman suggestion that
combined foreign fleets entering the
Black sea shall not exceed in
strength the fleet of the strongest
naval power Of the Black sea.
As the Russians are here only fer
discussion of the straits question to-
morrow may see the last Of them at
Lausanne. They still are in a fight
ing mood, however, George Tchitch-
erin was in fine argumentative form
today. He tried to win American sym
patty for the Russian straits pro Icct
by insisting that 1t Incorporated the
American idea of "beneficent war
ships"
But the allies nave agreed that the
Moscow straits plan is absolutely un-
acceptable. Tchitcherin made Il dra
matte plea to the world masses. He
said Russia was convinced the world )
peoples were back OF Russia in her
attempts to secure international JUS
tice. He also bitterly condemned
what lie called "marinism," adding,
hLpes 20 strange Russia"
Turks Not Impressed
An additional fear OF the Turks
which the allies must calm ~ that
with which they surround the pro-
posed international commission to
supervise control of the straits. The
Turks claim the commission will be
fnquisitorial in nature. that 1t may in
fringe Turkish sovereignty, and III
nally that it may be used as a club
by some of the powers To threaten
Turkey.
The Turks tonight seemed unruf-
fled. They did not appear at all inn
pressed by the ultimatum talk with
which the Lausanne atmosphere is
charged.
II was pointed out tonight that fail
ure Of the straits negotiations would
not necessarily imply failure on other
vital matters Of the Lausanne agenda.

When a small part OF an Illicit Ii
auor manufacturing still is found in

may conclude from this evidence
without further supporting informa
tion that he has violated the state
law which prohibits the possession
of q still or contrivance for max
ing liquor. This decision WAS rem
dered by the court of appeals Tues
day afternoon in the case Of Andrew
Gamble who mas been convicted Of
possessing stIll BY jury in the

There was no evidence THAI Gamble
possessed full still or all the parts
needed In the manufacture of liquor.
But the court of appeals in in
terpreting the law said such evidence
was not necessary. While the law
says person is prohibited from
possessing q stll or the appliances
needed in the manufacture of liquor.
IL provides that the finding of a part
of a still is prima facie evidence
that the owner of the part OF the
still has in his possession complete
still.
First Interpretation
This IS the tlrSt Time an lHterpre-
tation has been given to that section
OF the law which says part of n
still is evidence that person owned
a complete still. The jury may ac-
cept this evidence without another
supporting statement as proof of the

DARKENING EFFECTS

prepared by the United States Department
of Agric2lture.)
A study of the comparative darken-
ing effects of different floor oils was
made under the direction of the United
States Department of Agriculture
over a period of six months. Three
types of mixtures were tested The
first consisted of equal parts OF mo-
tor or engine oil and kerosene; the
second was made up of one part
boiled linseed oil to three parts Of
turpentine; the third was a widely ad-
vertised commercial oil. Separate
mops, kept in separate wrappings,
were used for the tests, and mopping
was done about once a week. A five
room occupied apartment was used as
the basis for the experiment.
The floors, which were of pine, were
very old and dark from many coatings
of shellac and varnish. Before the
experiment was started they were
scrubbed with a strong solution Of
washing soda until they were of a
light shade. After using different oils
in different rooms 1t was found that
the floor oil consisting of one part
boiled linseed oil to three parts tur-
pentine was the most satisfactory.
This oil seemed to have a cleansing
effect on the floors to which it was ap-
piled. 1t retained a high gloss and
did not darken to any extent the floor
on which it was used.
The commercial oil used in this ex-
pertinent darkened the floor to which
it was applied more than did the lin
seed oil mixture, but retained more Of
gloss than the mixture of motor oil
and kerosene, which also darkened the
floors. g.

ace to health.
Like most green vegetables cress is
better served fresh than cooked, as
much of the mineral matter is dis
solved or changed by cooking. Cress
Is particularly rich in mineral matter,

phorus. 1t is especially good in the
spring as 1t Is a stimulant to the appe-

good. The following recipe will give
the method of preparing 1t:
Take two bunches of water cress

quart of chopped cress. half a table
spoonful of minced onion. three table
spoonfuls of rice, three tablespoonfuls
of butter, dash of cayenne. the yolk
of an egg. four cupfuls of white stock

milk or thin cream. one-half teaspoon
full of salt, n grating of nutmeg and
whipped cream Cor garnishing. Pick
Off the tips of +he cress and save for
garnishing; chop fine, stems and all.
Fry the onion in butter until light
yellow. add the stock, rice and cress.
When well cooked rub through a sieve
and add the egg and cream. There
should be three .upfuls of soup when
ready to serve. Serve piping hot with
whipped cream sprinkled with the
fresh cress tips.
When one is fortunate enough to
obtain cress in abundance. cook it as
one does spinach or any greens. Do
not add any water when cooking ex-
cept that which clings to the cress.
Toss and stir occasionally until it is
well heated through. II care is used
