RUSSIAN PROBLEM
PUZZLES ALLIES
Question of Inviting Soviet to Lau'
same Farley Brings Up
Delicate Issue.
BY the Associated rress.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 30.-The delicate
problem has arisen whether Russia
shall be invited to the near eastern
conference when it is resumed at
Lausanne next month. In the coun-
ter proposals made by Turkey she
announced, acceptance textuallY ar
tho convention for the regulation OF
the Dardaneiles and the Bosporous
negotiated at Lausanne. SO there
obviously is no necessity of opening
Up again the question of the straits
at the resumed Lausanne meeting.
Moreover, Foreign Minister Tchit-
cherin declined to sign the straits
agreement for Russia, and as she had
been invited merely for this delibera-
tion the general opinion seems to be
that nothing would bc gained by in
ritiug her for the Forthcoming con-
ference.
Nevertheless, nothing has been Off
Cially decided as to this. Allied cir
cles would not be surprised to re-
ccive demand from the Moscow
government insisting upon the right
TO be represented, while Turkey her
self. not wishing to offend her neigh
Dor state, may advance some Sug-
gestioE in this connection.

Pine Needles Make Fertilizer.
From Farm Life

From Farm LIE,
Composited pine needles make good
fertilizer. and were quite extensively
used by southern truck gardeners dur
ing the war when the fertilizer situa-
ton was SO acute. Needles of the
short-leafed pine were found to contain
O.26 per cent potash. which is equiva-
lent to twice that amount of murlate
OF potash.
The organic matter in the pine straw
is also valuable; it may be made to
serve as bedding In cattle pens, where
it will be still further improved by the
absorption Of manure. If the gardener
does not wish TO compost the pine straw
it can be applied to the land as it ds
gathered from the woods and plowed

prof. Doumer, disclosing method by
which large quantities of copper may
be introduced into the human organ

The process consists of passing d
weak current through two electrodes
soaked with d solution of sulphate OF

1ndividualize Your
Bedroom Furniture

While many home owners do not
know it, in the fitting of bedroom
greater latitude is permissible and de-
sirable than in any of the other rooms
of the house, says the Milwaukee Sem
t1nel. Such apartments, whether
single or en- suite, to be interesting
as well as attractive, must be distinc-
tive and individual. Here are a few
helpful hints:
The furniture should conform in its
treatment with the style of architec-
tural details of the room.
Indication of the walls and wood
work will make the selection of the
furniture easy, manufacturers of good
furniture producing styles suitable for
any bedroom in any home.
Suites of furniture, when available,
are more preferred than single pieces,
many pitfalls accompanying the lat
ter plan unless competent advice is
given in the selection.
So many and varied are the styles
today that any progressive furniture
dealer will gladly help the homeown-
er In deciding the necessary and suit
able suites for the bedroom.
The ROOF shoufd be made appeal

Silverware as Gifts;
Makes Home Brighter

Silverware possesses an attribute
as a gift which is more or less pc
culiar to itself. This is It's repeat
waukee Sentinel. This feature makes
II desirable, since silverware in the
same pattern may be given on success
sive occasions until the recipient has
been bestowed with a complete serv-
ice.
All of these things account for the
position in which silverware, both
sterling and the best grades of plate,
finds itself today. Throughout the
country it has become recognized as
par excellence, the anniversary gift
and In the ase Of many families the
furnishing of the home with silver
ware Is being accomplished along the
anniversary gift" route. In some in
stances 1t has worked out like this:
Father and Tom and Polly all re-
member mothers birthday and we'd
ding anniversary by gifts of silver
ware. Each In turn decide on silver
ware when the gift for the others II
being discussed and when lasting re-
membrance Is the main thing desired.
These gifts Of silverware help to
make the home brighter for all OF
them. Each member feels that he or
she has had a part in the homemade
ing. Considered in all Its phases
this plan makes for not only g
better home but a more united family.

And fools still pose as sages,

I'm sure you'll never do it,"
