HERRIOF HALTS LONDON FARLEY
 BY PARIS TRIP
Premier To Consult Cab inet On Evacuation
 Problem
(By Associated Press. ).

LONDON, Aug. S.-Premier Her riott, War Minister General Nollet and Finance Minister Clementel will go to Paris tomorrow afternoon for a cabinet conference. The negotiations of the international conference here will be virtually suspended until they return.
 Action by the French cabinet was necessitated by the fact that the ques- tion of evacuation of the Rphr is the Hchief obstacle tO anE final agreemeni F of the c0nfefeake, and also because M. Herri0tt and General Noliet are reported to be in disagreement on this important matter.
 To Return Monday
 The French premier promises to re- turn to the British capital Monday morning and meantime all eyes will be turned toward Paris, where it is ex- pected NJ. Herriott will confer with the members of his cabinet regarding the final stand the French delegates should take on the Ruhr evacuation question and on the question of the maintenance of the Franeo-B Belgian railroad men in the Rhineland system.
 The French and Belgians both are holding out for maintaining their na- tionals on the German railways. The French also demand that they be as sured the Germans will fill their or ders for dyes and coke necessary to insure the future of the Alsatian steel and textile industries. These demands are affording further obstacles to an immediate agreement in London.
 There will be no meeting of the Big Fourteen" tomorrow, but the two committees will meet. Prime Minister Macdonald will go to Eastbourne for the weekend. ~.s
 In Private Parleys
 The real work of smoothing out the differences between the French and Germans is being done in private meet ings rather than in conference sessions and the efforts both sides have been making to retain as many weapons as possible for trading purposes have prob ably exaggerated their differences con siderably, Optimism is general in al- lied circles over the ultimate outcome of the conference, but the probable date of the agreement is now put at about August 14 by many of the dele gates. ts--

CODE OF ETHICS FOR DRY AGENTS BARS GUN PLAY

GHICAGO, Aug. S.--A Code of Ethics for Illinois prohibition
 agents, which, among other things, prohibits them from giving the sign of distress to n lodge brother as n preliminary to purchasing liquor from him, have been issued by Major Percy Owen, prohibition director.
 In the list of 'tnon'ts" agents are asked to refrain from becoming in toxieated in obtaining evidence, from feignipg sickness to buy from drug gists; from making bootleggers, sa- loon keepers and rum runners their associates and cabarets and barrooms their lounging places off duty and from using evidence ob- tained because the sale was made on the ground that the offender is an old friend of the agent.
 Gun play is especially cautioned against. There are times when q display of arms is necessary, Major Owen said, but nothing is to be gained in his opinion by turning a machine gun on suspected lemo- ade stand.

Tennessee's Broom Plant
for Blind a Success

Nashville, Tenn.-The state OF Ten
nessee employs seventy blind persons
in the manufacture of brooms.
The states broom factory for the
blind is located on property in the
vicinity Of the main state prison, at
Nashville, and every employee, ex
cept the truck driver, engaged in this
work is blind.
There are about fifteen women among
the workers, and some have married
blind men who are employed in the
factory and reside In the factory set
tlement
The industry has a capacity of 100
dozen brooms a day, is operated at a
profit to the state under the super
vision of the commissioner Of institu-
tions, and the employees are paid a
living wage for their services.
The brooms are placed on the
market alongside the products Of
other factories, and find ready sale.
The industry also operates a rug
weaving and mattress cleaning de-
partment, all of which affords an op-
portunity for making provision for
many who otherwise would become
wards Of the state.

Mr.. Short Is an employee Of the

a few months ago after a visit to his
parents in st. Louis, which took most
of his spare cash. Soon after his re-
turn his mother and father died-with-
in a month Of each other-and he had
to return to settle their estate.
Although he cabled his attorney in
st. Louis for $1,000 advance, he was
told he would have to appear person
ally to collect, so he became an able

70 Millions Under Ban
of "Castes" in India

Observation-Disclosures obtains in
the most acute form in Kerala, popu-
larly known as Malabar, in southern
India. Here there are Nayadies, whose
very sight will poilute a high-class
Hindu; Parayas who have to stand at
distance of furlong or more, and
Pulayas of different grades, who have
to stand at distances varying from 100
to 200 feet.
There are also numerous other
castles, who have to keep different dis
tances in respect of the different
castles, and every one Of these castles
observes both untouchability and un-
approachability in respect of one or
more of the remaining castles, says a
correspondent from Bombay.
Of late there has been a general
awakening to the fact that India can
not rise in the scale of nations with
out the removal of untouchability,
which places ban on 100000 of her
people.
The problem is of great magnitude
and does not admit of any easy solu-
tion, the evil being widespread and
deep-seated. Some national workers
have, however, addressed themselves
to the removal of this iniquitous prac-
tice from Malabar, and recently con-
vened a public meeting where COM
mittee, known as the Kerala untouch-
ability committee, was formed.

ORE SMUGGLING Is
VIRTUALLY STOPPED
Buyers Must Try to Learn
Source of Metal.

Denver.-The game of "highgrad-
Ing" which has been an annoyance to
the mining of precious metals through
out the world, has been virtually
stopped in Colorado mining camps
during the last nine years as a result
OF the efforts of special agents work
Ing under the direction of the secre-
tary Of state in enforcing the Ore
Buyers act passed by the Colorado
assembly in 1915.
The term "highgrading" came from
the practice originating in the theft
and sale of high-grade metal ores by
miners and the subsequent conversion
of the ores into gold and silver bull
lion for sale to the United States
mines. Colorado mine owners had
tried in every conceivable way to put
a stop to the practice, but apparently
without success, according to their re-
ports to the authorities.
Change Rooms Installed.
Some mines operating with extreme
ly valuable veins installed "change
rooms where workmen were required
to change clothing on entering and
leaving the mine, but even this scheme
was said not to have been entirely
effective as the certain small percent
age of dishonest miners managed to
find some way to smuggle ore outside.
The Ore Buyers act, passed after
a bitter struggle between the Mine
Owners association and alleged "high-
grading" interests, provides that buy
ers Of precious metals must be IL
censed by the state and must post a
bond of $1,000 for the faithful OBJ
servance of the act The law requires
such buyer to make diligent effort
to learn where the vendor acquired
his ore and with what authority he is
selling it.
Penalty for. Falslfying.
Giving false information to a buyer
is made a punishable offense In this
way the special agents have been able
to check the activities of unauthor-
lied sellers. The virtual bottling up
of the Illicit market is said to have
had the effect Of stopping almost en-
tirely the surreptitious removal of ore.
Since the law was adopted the num-
ber of licensed ore buyers in the state
has decreased from 80 to Z.
Definite enforcement of the statute
dates from 1917. when eight Of twelve
alleged "highgraders" were given
prison sentences of two years each.
At the trial more than a score of min
ers testified that they had sold ores
to the accused men.
The successful operation of the
Colorado law has brought about the
passage of similar laws in other west
ern states.

Jack Garfield, at the Fish Pond,
says the fish are running finer than

Charles Strickland is mailing out
booklet these days that is the last

It's funny thing, that radio busi-
ness. You'd think Strickland's play

dency to keep people home and allow
them to do their dancing there but it
is just the reverse. They want to

how he does it.

Bulgarian Swallow Brings
Back Message From India

Sofia.-Two swallows Of the spring
have brought replies to messages they
carried when they fitted for warmer
climes last autumn. Ivan Stefanoff,
school teacher Of nearby village,

the ewes of his house. When the birds
returned recently he noticed one had

Haskovo and his swallow brought him
the following from Medina, Arabia:
