ToLsToY ON EUROPEAN POLITICS.

In an address delivered in Washington recently
Count .llya Tolstoy gave an interesting summary
OF his views on European politics, especially as the
developments affect his native country, Russia.
Count Iolstoy is known chiefly as the son of his
father, Count Leo Tolstoy, writer, social reformer
and dreamer. The elder Tolstoy was: a powerful
writer. lie wrote out of the experiences and OBJ
servations of his own strangely varied life. He was
an idealist without the balance which makes ideal
ISM a vital force. His son is strongly tinctured with
the mentality and spirituality of his father. The
father was not a trustworthy guide, however inter-
est1ng his opinions were, or however powerfully
they were expressed. There is no reason to suppose
that the son is more reliable. Yet Count Iva Toll
stoy has given a summary of European conditions
which strikes one as sound, and which is given in a
few sentences.
Tolstoy resents the thought that his country,
the once great Russian empire, is to be divided into
a number Of comparatively small States. He was
reared in the old empire, and he regards it as indis-
soluble. That attitude is natural in a Russian of the
Old regime who has no sympathy for the new.
He sees in Europe a struggle going on for trade
advantages in Russia, for material and political con-
troll tor purposes which accord with the general
policies of each contender. Lloyd George he re-
CARDS as the dominating spirit, and Lloyd George
seeks British advantage in Russia. This aspira-
ton conflicts with that of SHINES, the great Ger
man master of finance, and between these. two ele-
ments thereIs an apparently irreconcilable conflict
Lenln cares only for the promotion of his own polit-
zeal plans, and for their promotion he is willing to
deal with first one outsider and then another. selling
concessions and making other trade arrangements,
with the proceeds of which he hopes to extend COM
munistic doctrines throughout the earth.
Iolstoy, in his brief analysis omits the ambi-
tons OF France, but aside from this he seems to have
summed up the situation quite accurately.

College BoyFound
Way To Produce
Aluminium Cheaply

ChicagO-The aluminium pots used
in cooking and which replaced the
heavy iron kettles OF a former day,
the light and durable material used
In airplane construction and eve the
wrapping on a chocolate bar, were
made possible by a discovery that re-
duced the price Of aluminium from
$20a pound to 20 cents a pound.
Charles Hall, while! yet a college
boy, made the extensive use OF this
material possible. n,
1t was known that aluminium was
light n malleable. that it had ten
sile strength beyond that of all metals
with the exception of copper and iron;
that it was a good conductor of cleo
tricity: that it furnished, but. slightly;
and that it occurred abundantly in
combination with other elements; but
an inexpensive process of separating
it from such combinations was need
ed to make its use widespread.
Ore Was Plentiful.
Charles Hall knew that, 'bauxite

poses and would consequently be
cheap or at least comparatively SO;
and that supplies of it would be read

a high percentage Of aluminium. He
also knew that other metals had been
isolated with ease by electrolysis
which had before that been obtained
only with difficulty.
Besides aluminium and the elements
which go to form water. beauxite ores
contain some ferric1 oxide, which
would i~nvalidate the process. Hall got
rid lof the sodium in the solution
ate (washtng soda). The ferricy oxide
(rouge; Venetian red") does not dis
solve and car be filtered off. To get

through the solution. The aluminium
compound precipitates: It Is then
heated to drive or the water, giving

AS, we pulled up before the Heaton
Hills station and dismissed the cab,
I must admit that I was thoroughly
mystified by the strange events of
the evening.
Somehow or other" 1 remarked,
while we waited for the train. "even

yet?"
. The ticket office was open. and
while we waited, Kennedy tried to gel
Clare's house on long distance. She
had not returned, however. and just
as the train swept up to the platform
he finished scribbling a telegram to
be rushed to her:
Don't open any mail until you hear
from me, Kennedy"
AS we made the quick midnight
trip to the city I tried to reason out
what It was that we had been SO for

that the little tube which he had

answer to the question? I was sure
that it meant nothing to me. except
something strangely menacing..

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 81.
MEXICO.

The Colorado senate appeals to the president
for recognition of the Oregon government OF Mex
leo. Senator Kink, of Utah, demands that the
United States government blockade ports OF Mexico
and seize the customs of that country it matters IN
controversy are not settled promptly before a proper
tribunal. Between these divergent views the adj
ministration is proceeding along its way, calmly,
industriously, and constructively.
The Mexican problem is admittedly a tough
one. For a time it seemed to be a hopeless one.
But the Obregon administrator is more amenable
to reason than it's predecessors have been, and tenn
perate Americans have been able to see in even
Obregon's rejection of American demands a tenn
porary yielding to the political necessities of his
own country rather than any hostility toward the
United States.
Obregon is credited with being anxious to, enter
into close and friendly relations with the United
States on terms under which all the rights of Amer
leans will be secured. He has been deferred from
this by the insistence of some in his political en-
tourage on a lofty and unconciliatorv attitude. He
has maintained better order than any of his prede-
cessors, and has been able to quell from time to time
many instructions which needed little to develop
them into full-f1edged revolutions. 1t is necessary
for him to retain the confidence and support of the
leaders of many groups, and prompt acquiescence in
the perfectly reasonable demands of the United
States would have endangered his entire admins
tration.
Patience has been needed, patience on both
sides. Senator Kings pronouncement may not
make matters much worse, certainly it will not i'm
prove them. The recommendations of the Colora-
do senate will be given due consideration when
they are forwarded to Washington, and will be
filed in the proper pigeonhole. ~

LOOK AFTER THE LEGISLATURE.

In addition to the retention of control of the
executive and administrative departments of the
state government in the hands of men definitely
committed to a policy of economy and efficiency,
and of progress along safe lines, it is important that
the people of North Dakota pay proper attention to
the complexion of the legislature whose members
are to be elected this fall.
In the management of the affairs of the state
there is no issue between Republicans and Demo
Gratis. There is no distinctively Republican way of
managing a state elevator. There is no Democratic
way of thawing out the frozen assets of an insolv-
ent state bank and putting the institution out of
business as a commercial agency. There is no way
in which a connection can be established between
any national party and the closing up of the affairs
of a Home Building association which has cost the
people hundreds of thousands of dollars.
All these things are state matters, and the man.
ner in which the business shall be conducted is not
an issue as between the two officially organized
parties which are represented in this state. There
is no reason, therefore, why any anxiety should be
felt as to whether the majority in either branch of
the legislature is Republican or Democratic, or by
how much.
The sole question to which sensible people will
give attention in connection with legislative matters
IS whether or not the candidates who are presented
tor the consideration of the voters for legislative DO
sitlons are IN sympathy with the policy Of reform
and reconstruction which has been inaugurated.
Other things being equal, voters will vote for
legislative candidates on the basis of personal pref
erence, but neither personal preference nor party
a%ffilation should be permitted to influence the cast
ing OF votes for candidates whose attitude on the
clear issues which are presentation consideration in
this state IS not sound beyond all question.

TIMELY VIEWS ON WORLD TOPICS
70. S. DEMOCRATIC

Early summoning of an information al trade agreement conference to iron out commercial differences. which he declared were the root of most mod ern warfare. was urged by Cordel Hull. chairman of the Democratic na- tional compaittee. in an address at the recent Jackson day dinner of the Tennessee Society of New York.
 During the past years" he said. sawe have seen practiced with impun- tfy all forms Of tariff discrimination and retaliation preferential right of entry of ports. violations of the open door of copyrights. trademarks, trade brands. wrongful interference with trade routes. unfair utilization of pounties. bonuses. subsidies. draw backs. and rebtaes, the economic and financial violations of small, unciv- flized or backward nations, tonnage and shipping discrimfnations, econom- ic alliances, trade concessions and other preferences by special agree ment. Many of these are trouble mak- ing, war breeding practices.
 ''International steps have already been taken in measure to deal with certain phases of these dangerous practices and policies. T. Is certain they can only be dealt with and abol- ished by international agreement"
 The most fes sibIe plan, he suggest ed would be adoption by all nations of the most favored nation doctrine in is unconditional form" While such progra m would call for sacrifice by all nations of certain profitable spec ial arrangements. these would be far outweighed nv advantages shared by all. he asserted.
 The presen depression in the Uni ted States, MT. Hull asserted. was brought on by the failure of this coun- try to grant sufficient credit extension to central and eastern Europe after the close of the European war.
 Failing to get credit extension, he said. these countries were driven to e paper money basis, which shattered foreign exchange and eventually made it impossible for Europe to buy in America the surplus supiies she so much needed

 much more economical to buy soap bv the box and all staples in as large quantities as you have room for. Th1s is especially important if you are a business woman as well as house. keeper. Always keep plenty Of navy bears, rice, macaroni, etc., on hand, also as many canned things as you have room for or money to buy. Then when you have one of those t.off'' days that come to all of us. when just the ordinary duties of life drag, or an unexpected guest comes, the getting of a meal may be sfrn- pIified so as to involve as little work and as much nourishment as possible

girl will purchase and use a tonic or soap for no more reason than be- cause it comes in a good-looking box, or because Jane says that Mary had a friend who used it with good results. The girl never stops to think that her hair may be quite different from that of Mary's friend, and therefore, will require quite a different treatment.
 It is just as sensible as purchasing a medicine when you are ill because you like the color of the bottle or the shape of it's label. Of course my cri- ticism may be a little too harsh, be- cause most ready-made hair tonics contain one or two generally useful ingredients. At the same time the girl with dry hair may be drying her scalp still more by a tonic with a high percentage of alcohol when she really needs oil, or using a shampoo which will take all the life and lustre from her hair in order to keep it fluffy.
 It is usually possible to tell what is wrong with the hair from a descrip- tive letter. But if you yourself are going to decide what you need as a hair tonic you must study your own hair carefully, and then be sure the treatment.

 The average movie hero is in pret- ty bad shape along in the middle of the third reel, and it takes two more reels to get him out. That's way so many photoplays would be more sat- isfactory if the last two reels were dispendsed with.

 Toxic angina follows the excessive use of tobacco. tea or coffee. The heart pains are sharp and shooting. otten with palpitation. irregular-ty of the heart rythm, pallor. sweating, nausea and the tendency to faintness.
