All the, other departments, commits
sions, boards, and bureaus stagger un-
der the same exer-ipcreasing incubus
consisting of slips of paper, each one
of which is too light to tilt anything
but precise and sensitive scale.
These files must be tended, too.
Thousands OF clerks are employed
merely to take care of them-to put
new slips of paper in and take old
slips of paper out for examination.
1t is proposed to build a federal
hall of archives and when that is done
many of the files will be concentrated
and the pressure on existing office
space will be lightened, but now every

Beside the vast quantities of papers

After Dinner Trick S
PIECES OF METAL
Ne. s5s-TFae Broken Pi.te

Ne. S5S-T1e Broken Pi1tC
The performer offers to carry q few
dishes from the room. Just as he goes
out the door a crash is heard. Every
one thinks, of course, that the dishes
have broken, for the clatter is quite
loud. But the performer reappears with
a smile, carrying every dish intact.
For this trick you need half dozen
pieces of metal, each about the size OF
n playing card and rather thick. Drop
them on the wooden floor and their ciat-
ter will resemble the breaking of dishes.
Another way of doing the trick is to
obtain one or two old, cracked or broken
dishes and throw them on the floor.
The result will be the same in either
case.

PREPARES REPLY

GENOA, April 13.-The allied proposals
seek to reduce Russia to the level OF
Turkey, George Tchitcherin declared to-
day.
The Russian leader announced objec-
ton TO the Allied experts plan, which
was submitted to the subdivision OF
the conference, as basis for European
rehabilitation and asked twenty four
hours in which to prepare a formal mega
tive reply.
The Genoa conference was to get down
to the bedrock of It's work today with
four commissions - political economic
financial and transportation, considering
the experts proposals which were lai1
before them in great detail at yester-
days session The Russian refusal an
ticipated by allied leaders. represented an
immediate snag to peaceful progress OF
the conclave.
The allied proposals regarding Russia
were more drastic than had been anttci-
pated. They included Russian recogni-
ton Of czarist and provisional govern
ment debts and guarantees for non-ag-
gression and for safety Of foreigners In
Russia. This was expected. But a
French proposal for establishment OF
foreign tribunals within the borders OF
Russia, and a measure Of supervision
over Russian internal AFFAIRS was also
included in the experts plan.
Lloyd George, it was believed, would
today introduce plan for guarantees OF
