Jealousy Destroyer Of

A Jealous wife seldom is beautiful.

So the jealous wife destroys her
own character and, at the same time,
usually the love of her husband.
And thus. jealousy, working from
the soul outward, gradually destroys
the person whom 1t attacks.

Purpose by Upham.
Nv Internatlopal News Service.


CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Conceptra-
ed efforts were being made today
in Chicago and in Washington to
bring the Democratic national con-
vention to this city.
Linked with a pilgrimage of Chi
cago business and civic leaders,
headed by Mayor Dever, to the Ma
tional Capital, was the action Of
Fred w. Upham, Republican Ma
tional Committee treasurer. In
turning over to George e. Brennan,
Illinois Democratic leader, funds
pledged to bring the Republican
convention here. They will be use
less to the Republicans of Illinois,
since the G.. o. P. meeting was
awarded to Cleveland.
Upham has promised his full
support to the Democrats in their
agitation. They claim to lack only
the perfunctory approval of the
national committee.
The movement has taken three
roads. Collection of a fund sufn-
cient to cover expenses has be-
gun. Plans are being made for a
gigantic convention hall to ac-
commodate the Democrats and all
future meetings of national import
ance. A citizens committee. is to
be appointed to carry both projects
to fruition.
Its chairman is Edward N. Hur.
ley, formerly president of the
United States Shipping Board. Up.
ham was made vice chairman.

They will be Mrs. Hearst's guests.
Each year these little folk are

Film Appropriate.
Joseph Plunkett, managing direc-
tor, and Moe Mark, president of

come the "Dibby Doc Dads" in

he finally succeeds, forms a grip
ping story of wholesome, courage
Gus and truly American character.

thousands of crippled children from
city hospital wards at former Christ

Hughes Ignores Charge
Made by Russia That
evidence" Is a Forgery

The State Department ignored to-
day the charges of forgery" made
by the Soviet foreign minister,
Georges Tchitcherin, concerning the
documents made public by Secretary
of State Hughes, which contained
alleged instructions from the Soviet
leaders to the Workers Party Of
America to promote a revolution in
the United States.
Secretary Hughes, it was said,
will reserve further comment and
revelations concerning Soviet activi-
ties in this country until the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate undertakes the promised in
vestigation of the whole Russian
situation. :
Advocates of Russian recognition,
however. were not silent.
Senator Burton K Wheeler CDem.)
of Montana, who spent several
months in Russia last summer,
characterized the evidence produced
by the State Department as "fic-
tion." Wheeler said Secretary
reports by the Burns Detective
Agency and upon reports from
"sleuths of the Department of JUS
tice working under Burns direc-
ton"
1.-The same material presented by
Hughes was known in this country
last November, month before
President Coolidge addressed Con-
gress," said Wheeler why then
did Coolidge virtually ask overtures
from Russia when the same ma
ferial now produced was known at
that time.
1T seems to me there has been
misunderstanding between the
White House and the State Depart
ment.

leads down the road to war, not
peace. Peace is impossible in Europe
without Russia in the concert Of
nations. Hughes policy is a pro-
