amendment to the naval appropriation
bill requesting him to call a world
conference to discuss economic ques-

President Harding made known his
position to Senator Curtis, OF Kansas,
Republican whip and Moses, OF New
Hampshire. He told them he intended
to send a letter to the senate or to
Senator Lodge, OF Massachusetts, the
Republican floor leader, specifying his
objection. He VIII emphasize the
point that to call an economic con-
ference at this time would be prema-

Observation-Disclosures between Ger
many and France over the French
demand for the delivery of 10000
tons of pure nitrogen on reparations
account have reached a deadlock.
Experts from both countries took
part in conferences on the question
during the past week at which it was
developed that the German govern
ment holds the delivery Of this guam
tity impossible, inasmuch as the Ier-
man production Of nitrogen is already
far below, the do LesGc requirements.
French and German fertilizer inter,
ests are expected to confer soon on
the possibility OF compromise.
1t is announced that the recent
strike at Ludwigshafen in che plant
which is one of Germany's biggest
nitrogen producers, caused such a
falling off in fertilizer production that
the result, it is calculated, will mean
nearly 100000 tons less grain from
German fields n the coming harvest.

SALLIE DEAR:
Enclosed please I'D newspaper ac-
counts Of the most brilliant wedding
7 ever attended.
Leslie Hamilton is now Lesnc
Prescott-in full. Mrs John Alden

but all the while I had a faint fore
boiling. John and Leslie do not know
each other, Sallle That IS what wor-
ries me, I guess.
OF course never having been mar
ried, or even in love, I am not sup
posed to know anything about It, but
being on the outside Of it all. am
sure that I can give a more unbiased
opinion than those who have been
through the experience.
SalIie. It does seem to me that any
one with any sense at all should know
that two people who enter into the
intimate contact Of marriage. ex-
pecting to be happy, should know
each other thoroughly before they
make the public declarations and
vows of love.
I said as much the other evening
when a few Of US had settled our
selves about the big fireplace In tho

laughter. Il am afraid that under
those circumstances We would have
Heaven upon earth. for there would
be no marriages or giving in mar
riage."
I cannot understand how such a
girl as Leslie can possibly think there
is some alchemy in the marriage
service that viii take two alien ma
tures-and John and Leslie are as
unlike as the poles-and fuse them
into one splendid whole alike In
taste. in principles, in ideas and
ideals.
Perhaps the American idea Of mar
rage is the best Of any Of which we
know. It would be, "if love were
only all" It really seems TO me.
however. that after the first flush Of
passion. love or that peculiar thing
we call love Is the least necessary 70
happiness.
With the same interest. the Same
tastes. the same ambitions and en-
thusiasms, with tolerance and unself-
ishness. it seems to me that con
tented compa1ionship would come
easy.
SaIie. 7 think 7 shall he your old
maid friend.
