TURKEY CONCENTRATING
SOLDIERS FOR BATTLE
Troops Reported Tired Of
ldIeness And Eager To Enter
Fray Again Utmost Precau-
'tions Are Being Used In e.
fort To Prevent a Conflict
BY RALPH II. TURNER
(By Special Leased Wire to The Age.
Hernld.(


LONDON, May 26-War between
Greece and Turkey has been averted
With every tick of the clock bringing
nearer the expiration of the Greek
ultimatum demanding that Turkey
accept its program on reparations
payments, and with both nations
rushing reinforcements to their
troops In Thrace, it looked for awhile
as II the conflict would be renewed
beyond a doubt.
But the diplomats of the powers
gathered at Lausanne took a hand in
the matter Saturday. and sat down
with ISmet Pasha, the Turkish for
eign minister, and NJ. Venizelos, chief
Greek delegate, to thresh out the en-
tire matter.
After three hours had passed the
door of the conference room flew
open and venizelos emerged, shout
ing, Peace, peacew to the waiting
| journalists.
1t was later announced that the
controversy had been practically set
tied.
Precautions Taken.
Despite this, there is feeling that
the utmost precautions must be taken
to ward off eventual war. The troops
of both countries are tired of idle
ness, and the populations are In
famed with war fever.
Dispatches from Athens said that
reservist officers were petitionlng for
opportunity to serve in the front line
of duty. When General Pangalos ar
rived at Salonika the troops gave him
great demonstration, and the Of
ficers assured him they were eager
for action. The atmosphere in Greek
cities was distinctly warlike, with
6af n rel n a ~ 6 ~ ht,r ryi,
through the streets, amid air of fe-
verish activity.
Turkish troops were reported con-
centrating along the lines of the
Tchatladka forts, north of Constan-
tinople. ready to oppose a Greek adj
and children. fearing general adj
vance, were streaming out of Adrian
ople.
Greece Is Warned.
The seriousness with which the
powers viewed the situation was seen
in a request from France to Britain
and Italy that Greece be warned not
to commence hostilities. and in a con-
ference of allied admirals and generals
with the British ambassador at Con-
stantinople. Admiral Brock, COM
mander of the British Mediterranean
fleet, arrived at the Straits. in his
flagship. with flotilla Of destroyers
a days sail behind him.
The English. French and Italian
chief delegates in conference with
the Turks and Greeks are understood
to have flatly denied the latter the
privilege of indulging in war at the
present time.
Though the proceedings of the
meeting were kept secret. it is be-
lieved they resulted in formula un-
der which the Greco-Turkish difficult
ties may be remedied.
1t is unofficially reported that the
Turks are to receive not only Kara
catch but the railway on the north
involving a slight alteration in the
frontier line between the two coun-
tries.
The negotiations have left details
of the settlement to their experts.
conference of allied admirals and
generals also was held with the
British ambassador in Constantinople.

BAN "SHIFTY PRACTICE"
Britishers Say They Are Hands Of
Americans

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Shifty
practices by American business men
in international trade. are severely
condemned by the department of
commerce. in an official statement
issued Saturday, quoting British
firms which represent American
manufacturing exporters abroad.
The Britishers have Informed the
American commercial attache In Lon
don that they are through for all
time with the unreliability Of Amer
lean business executives-thorough
sick and tired of the foreign trade
'flirtations' of their American con-
nections whose export interests shift
with every vibration of domestic de-
mands."
DIR. julius Klein. director of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, apparently agrees with this
condemnation of his fellow country
men. DR.. Klein warns American
commercial interests that the foreign
trade of the United States is being
injured by such methods. He says
that the sudden allurements OF do
nestle boom conditions have caused
local manufacturers to show apathy
toward foreign agents whose orders
they SO badly wanted when indus
trial conditions in America were not
good.

were seeking to throw light ON the
mystery.

Better Books and More Books for
the Children" was the subject of a
talk given by Miss Julia Carter. Of
New York, before the Woman's Club
at their regular meeting which was
held in the Presbyterian chapel yes
terday afternoon with the president,
Mrs. Frank Dorsey, presiding.
"In choosing a book today see that
the characters are such thai you
would like your children to read,
and see that they understand the
stories,' stated the speaker. Books
are of all ages and of all kinds. The
idea of books is not to dictate to the
children but to make the rooms and
place so attractive hat they will be-
come curious, and want to read
them" Miss Carter mentioned sew
eral books which were appropriate
for the small children, the young
boys and the young girls. In con-
GLIDING her talk Miss Carter read a
passage of what Robert Frost
thought of Children's Books in the
Home.
1t was "Children's Afternoon" and
an unusually fine program was ar
ranged for the occasion, a feature
being the story telling of Miss Jean
T.. Carroll, of greensboro. Miss
Carroll told the story of THE Ele-
plants Child" 1.-THE Butterfly and
1.-THE Wolf with the Seven Kids de-
lighting the large number of Riddles
and groNn-ups present.
The musical part of the program
opened with two piano numbers
brilliantly interpreted by Miss Dor
othy Terhune, of Woodbridge. A
Dutch dance by Gertrude Olsen and
Mae Reynolds, adorable in Dutch
costume, including the wooden shoes
was an exceedingly pretty number.
Miss Dorothy Hall gave a clever
exhibition of a "cymbal" dance in
gorgeous costume. Little Ruth Bit
ger in Russian costume, gave a spir-
tied performance of the Russian
dance. A fine exhibition of chill
dren's books was on display the pur
pose being to help mothers purchase
good books for the holidays.
Preceding the program, a short
business session was held, at which
time it was announced hat the club
would participate in the state wide
campaign for a "Music Studio" at
the Woman's College in New Bruins
wick. Mrs. Peter Schott, the newly
elected vice president, was named
chairman VI lIlS COiiiiIllltGt. IIS

I How much bruiSing can you take7
"How long can you hang on in the face of obstaclesY
'Hav you the grit to try to do what others have failed

"Haye you the nerve to attempt things that the average
person would never dream of tackLng?
"Have you the persistence to keep on trying after re-
peated failures?
'sCan you cut out luxuries? Can you do without things
that others consider necessities?
'Can you go up against skepticism, ridicule, friendly
advice to quit, without finching?
'Can you keep your mind steadily on the single object
you are pursuing, resisting all temptations to divide your
attention?
"Have you the patience to plan all the work you attempt;
the energy to wade through masses of detail; the accuracy
to overlook no point, however small, in planning or executlngY

YOUR BABY AND NINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Daily Outings

The conscientious young mother
reads the books on babies which as
sure her that the baby must be
taken out for an airing every day.
The baby needs plenty of fresh ar
at all times of day and night but II
is a mistake to think that the only
air the baby can get is when the
mother laboriously wheels MN
around in his baby cab.
It is a good thing for the moth-
er sometimes to have to get OUT
in the fresh air, but the papy
can get his airings just as well
and with much less work, by letting
him take his long maps on the porch.
Wrap him warmly as Tor n
street put a hot water bag in the
bottom OF the carriage and keep
the hood of the carriage so hXed
that no draughts will blow on the
baby's head. Put him out when he
has finished his bottle. or nursing
and let him sleep. He will sleep
much longer and he will be full TO
bursting with fresh air.
AS the weather gets colder, ana
on pad raw or windy days, he can
be put in a room with the windows

Everybody Likes
To Eat WaffIes

Who doesn't like waffles? No
body.
For breakfast, Sunday night lunch
Or tea waffles will go like hot
cakes" and the maker will be happy
in her popularity.
The batter for waffles is much the
same as that for hot cakes. More
eggs I used if d rich, light waffle
is desired, but one egg can be beaten
in such a way that a delicious puffy
waffle is the result.
Sweet or sour milk is used.
Sour Milk WaffIcs
One egg, 2 cups sour milk, 2 cups
flour, / teaspoon soda, u teaspoon
salt, II teaspoon baking powder, ?
tablespoons melted butter.
Mix and sift flour, soda and salt.
Add yolk of g well beaten. Work
perfectly smooth and beat in melt
ed butter. Add milk and beat with
a slotted spoon or a strong dover
beater. Beat white of egg until stiff
and dry. Add baking powder to
beaten white. Fold into first mix
ture. Put II tablespoon of the bat
ter in each section of the iron and
cover. The iron should be hot
enough to turn almost as soon as
CONtleus IL dl tlttlilC iIOil Is uotu
add another tablespoon of melted
butter to the rule.
Fill the socket of an ordinary
waffle iron with salt and there will
be no burning fat while baking the
| waffles.
Sweet Milk Waffles
Two eggs, 2 cups flour, 2K tea
spoons baking powder, IL teaspoon
salt, 2 cups milk, 2 tablespoons
melted butter.
Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add
yolks of eggs beaten until thick and
lemon cLlored. Mix thoroughly and
beat in melted butter. Ad milk and
beat well. Fold in whites of eggs
beaten stiff and dry. Bake as in pre-
vious recipe.
The secret of tender, crisp waffles
lies in the baking rather than in the
number of eggs used. The iron
should be well heated on both sides
I'd well CREASED before filing. The
heat should be even and evenly dis
tributed. A round iron fits over the
fame of a Gas range better than a
square one.
Some old waffle recipes Use as
many as sever or eight eggs. This is
quite out of the question these days
and also unnecessary. Butte milk
was also considered imperative, but
sweet milk-waffles can be made just
as good.
The recipes given are calculated to
serve four persons.

BROADCASTS
The Male
BY LORA KELLY

This faculty of man, which de-
mands absolute faithfulness to HIM
self on the part of his womenkind,
and demands in the same breath
complete liberty for himself, is one
which never fails to arouse a wo-
mans amazement-and suspicion.
On all sides the printed word as
sails her with the charge that she
has reduced Friend Husband to a
state of slavery in order to keep her
supplied with every necessity of life,
from planked steaks to %full-fash-
toned hose.
Public speakers constantly pirate
about the superiority of the Ameri-
can wife and how she rules the
roost. 1t is a pleasant illusion for
the men, and it is a shame to destroy
it.
But we notice the mother-in-law
joke still gets a good hand in our
best theatres; the ~henpecked nan is
a subject for the comic artists to
daily with, newspapers continue to
offer solace to neglected wives.
Politicians make beautiful ges-
lures in public about lovely woman
whose place has been transferred to
the election booth-then hand her an
obscure but heavy job OF detail that
men don't like to bother about.
Executive jobs in the business
world are still firmly in the grasp of
masculine hands; mo use to train a
woman eve if she has got brains;
she'll only get married"
This excuse is handed out despite
the fact that there aren't enough in
telligent men to go around, matri-
monially speaking. and nobody is
more keenly aware of it than the
self-same candidates for the big job
themselves.
There is only one ideal to which a
man is consistently and persistently
faithful-that's his vision of himself
as the Great I Am"
Hence a woman who expects to be
mans first love, when she marries,
lives in a FOOLS paradise.
He's been his own first love ever
since he was born.

this a great saving of the mothers
patience and energy but the baby
is in a measure protected by the
high sides of the pen, and the
floor can be made softer and less
cold by the use of a thick COM

These seem like simple enough
things to do but one mother
