Ruth Gregory is the

by me and our marriage. He
had convinced even jeanne that
we belong together and must not

been able to understand his pride
In Ruth's friendship-even his
need OF it.
But now-this! It didn't seem
possible that Envy really was

severing ocean. It seemed still
less possible that she had raced

Jim and that at her first beck

doubts we had just faced and

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 1.-THE battle
against the world wide opium evil, in
which the United States has taken
the initiative, was put into organized
form last night by the council Of the
league of nations, which decided to
convoke two international confer
ences at Geneva in November of next
year.
The original idea was to summon
the meetings for July. but Lord Rob
ert Cecil, backed by NJ Hanotaux.
argued that the interested countries
distantly situated would be unable to
formulate their proposals in time for
summer meetings which thus would
be likely TO prove sterile. Moreover
Lord Robert said the United States
favored the postponement
The British member quickly with
drew his suggestion that the second
conference on the limitation of the
production and manufacture of mar
cotic drugs be restricted to the pro-
ducing and manufacturing countries
when he saw that his fellow ooun-
cilorS We're opposed to this course.
The American policy, as explained
by Representative Stephen q. Porter
at the preliminary meeting in Geneva,
is to have all the countries repre-
the best means of confining the out
put of narcotics to medical and scien-
tihc needs. The first conference will
be restricted to those countries hav-
ing possessions where opium smok-
ing continues.
On motion OF Viscount Ishii of ia
pan the council authorized the ap-
pointment of committee to organize
the conferences. this committee to~be
composed of six persons. including
one American and two European rep
resentatives and three technical ex-
pertS.
The council also urged an expert
investigation aimed at suppression of
the white slave traffic. thanked the
American bureau Of social hygiene
for contributing funds to cover the
expenses of the inquiry. which will
be conducted under the direction of
DIR. Simon FleXner of New York and
also urged the mandatory powers to
enforce the intc national white slave
convention in inundated territories.

first time the Legion ritual, as used

ing a baseball team represent the
local organization this summer
against other neighboring Legion
teams, and Henry j. Thyng was
selected to make all arrangements
for the same.
Emery o. Beane reported the ar
rival of the attractive medals for

on Oil Schedule
Only on Necessity

Washington, MAJ 7-President
Harding told a delegation from the
south. which protested to him today
against opening Of the vegetable oil
schedule of the Fordney- McCumber
tariff act, that under the flexible pro-
visions of the law he would modify
rates 'onl.- on the most striking evil
dence of the necessity for such a
change"
II can tell you surely" Mr.. Hard
ing said, that the President would
proclaim no reduction of the tariff
unless there were very pronounced
reasons for it,"
The flexible provision of the tar
if law. which was enacted by Con-
gress largely at the insistence Of the
executive, the president told the
delegation, is designed to protect
the American consumer against in
ordinate charges as well as the Am
ericap, producer against unfair COM
petition.''
1t was impossible to deny the filing
Of petitions for modification of sche-
dulles. he said, but before action was
taken the tariff commission was re-
quired to make preliminary survey
to determine whether the facts JUS
titled recommending a hearing on the
question.
"You cannot forbid surveys" he
said, III you undertook to do that
you would make the provision of a
flexible tariff dead letter. But I
have cautioned the commission tina,
the government doe" not mean to
throw monkey wrench into the
machinery at a time when we are
all trying to recover fully from in
dustrial and agricultural depression"

Appeals Court Looks /
Over Sugar Petition

New York, May THE Federal
circuit court of appeals today took
under advisement the petition of the
Federal government for a temper
airy injunction to restrain the New
York Coffee and Sugar Exchange
and its clearing association from
trading in raw sugar futures unless
backed by actual ownership or con-
troll Of the commodity.
The governments petition was
for a preliminary injunction pending
final hearing of the question.
The case was taken under advise
ment after John w. Davis. former
American ambassador to Great Bril-
tain, had presented arguments on
behalf of the exchange and after his
arguments had been answered by
counsel for the government.
The court denied the application
of counsel for the government to
submit affidavits answering those
submitted by counsel for the ex-
change today.
