Smooth Sailing Aheai.
, rbe Associated press.

By Tho Associated PfeAh'
 London, Aug. 1i.-Belief that inc agreement for which war-"orn Europe has long been hoping VIII soon be forthcoming is expressed in conseauence of the French cabinets approval Of Premier Herriot's aiti- tude toward the problems still m abeyance at the international confer- ence on reparation.
 Unless the French now make con- ditions far different from those in- dicated in dispatches from the French capitaI, observers see fair sailing ahead for the conference, with the prospect of finishing its work this week and insuring speedy launching of the reparation program framed by the Dawes committee of experts.
 It is thought the French premier is returning with the approval or ms ministerial colleagues and of Marshal Foch to the evacuation of the Ruhr by the French military forces under conditions such as to assure accept ance by the Germans.
 The first of the three protocols necessary to put the Dawes plan m operation was signed on Saturday by the Germans and representatives or the reparation commission. This document embodies formal accept ance of the Dawes plan. the repara- ton commission on its part releasing all German assets making them available as security for the proposed loan to Germany.
 Of the remaining protocols, one IS between the allies and Germany and the other contains an agreement among the allied nations. The effec- tiveness of the one signed Saturday depends upon these two, a conclusion which in turn hangs on the ability or Premier Herriot and the Germans to get together following the premier's return from Paris.

PARTY PATRONAGE

(Third in a series of articles by Mrs.
 Catt on interferences with good gov
 ernment, from Woman Citizen.)
 A tremendous interference with the operation of good government is the system of party patronage. ITO the victOrs belong the spoils," is still an &C., cepted aphorism. For a quarter of a century the campaign has been con- stant to draw positions out of the list of patronage and put them uLder the civil service. Very m.ch has been achieved, yet some 2U,OOO posts are called presidential appointments. Some of these officials are nominated by congressman, some by senators, some by the cabinet and some directly by the President, but the President has the tinaiAdecision upon them all. Most are confirmed by the Senate.
 When MT. Harding was elected, tired and oVerstra1ned by the long campaign, his desire, it will be remembered, was for a brief period of rest. He never got it.. The job hunters came to Marion by every train. They filled the hotels and the streets and they literally camped upon his doorstep. An ambassador stayed two weeks and probably got his ~SASAV " ucA IuG President fled on a pretended fishing trip, they followed. They perched on trees and fences. They trooped after him wherever he went. They harassed and pestered him night :.nd day.
 Various causes for his untimely death have been named, but certainly none wore upon him more than the inces- sant rush of the job hunters. It was not 10000 men who came to get the 10000 posts. There were at least five men after each post. Attorney Gen eral Daugherty was the person who passed upon many of them and it was early reported that those who had the department Of justice always found legitimate and important business with the anterooms jammed with job hunters,
 How could man enforce the nations laws with that continual struggle over jobs at his back door? How could any President think out the problem of oil leases with this fighting army of a hun. dred thousand desperate job hunters on his back? To the right and the left of him the volleys were thundered, "I made you big contribution, give me a

pounds of peaches you now make five pounds of jam as against the three pounds made by the old method. That is why more sugar is needed for the CERTO method, although your jam and jelly will not contain any more sugar per glass than by the old method and the cost per glass is-actually less. This one minute boiling also preserves the real color and flavor.
 Peaches are now plentiful at a low price, and housewives should be put ting up peach jam and jelly for next Winter. To make twelve glasses of peach jam:

Delicious Peach Jam
 Easily Made in IS Minutes New Certo Method Never Fails Flavor Ripe Peaches Requires Only One Minutes Boiling, and Makes 12 Glasses Two
 Quarts of Fruit

The days of hard work over a hot stove and the guess work with its worry and often with it's loss of sugar and fruit-in jam and jelly making is past and gone. A nationally-known jelly maker has found the way to extract
 pectin-that substance in. fruit which makes the juice "jell' or set when boiled with sugar-and then to refine and concentrate it for American house. wives. So wonderful is this product called CERTo (SurejelD that over five million women have adopted it's use within three years. With it any one who VII follow a simple recipe can now make jam or jelly with any kind of fruit without failure in a few minutes.
 The CERTO. method is as simple and accurate as 1.-two and two make four. l" With CERTO. you only boil one min ute, not the indefinite period of the old method. This one minutes boiling saves not only your precious time, but it also saves the juice, the flavor and the color of the fruit, which was formerly boiled away. Consequently with CERTO you make about One-half more jam and jelly than the old method with, the same amount of fruit. For instance, with two

ADELICIA

' Adelicia of Louvain, surnamed the EFair Maid of Brabrant," was the sec ond wife of Henry I, of England. She was a very beautiful woman and highly proficient in all feminine accomplish ments, and encouraged literature and the arts. She was descended from the imperial Carlovingian line. Henry died in 1135 and three years afterward Adelicia contracted a second marriage with William de Albini, who seems to have been "the husband of her choice and to whom she bore several children. She died in 1151. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, victims of Henry VIII, were directly descended from Ade- Iicia.

job ;" T got out the Italian vote in my district, give me a job;" "I was the spellbinding orator who carried Po- dunk for you, give me a job :" Say, Mir. President, don't you know that my paper nominated You early and never failed to whOOp for you?-giye me q job" So the cry went on, G.y and night, week in and week out.
 Was this a situation new in the Harding administration? Bless you, no; it Is as old as our nation. It has arisen in every administration, between eac hsucceeding President and his ideals. each succeeding President and his ideals. attention to big things, influenced his thinking and at the end dismissed him, worn-out, nerve-sore old man what ever his years. As fast as the nation puts positions in he civil service to re- lieve this condition, it creates new ones under patronage. This is not graft. We are a mighty 1-ation and our busi- ness grows by leaps" and bounds. It takes more people to do the work for one hundred and ten million than it did for fifty millions. The i.come tax has added an army to the nations helpers Every new bureau, commission and law adds more posts. Prohibition has added an army, some under civil service, but altogether too many under the patron age lists. x
 It is not the President alone who gets harassed. Have business with almost any congressman or senator and you will find his anteroom filled with these same hectoring job hunters. You will find piles of letters unanswered, files oi important data untouched and a nery ous, tired, bored look on his face He, too, is hindered in the business he came to Washington to do. 5. If patronage is not the chief source of graft and national corruption wherever it exists, as the Hon. Dudley Foulke says it is, it certainly is pretty near it.
 We the people," must help to end this intolerable robbeE of great mems time, health and efficiency. Let the President have his staff and necessary representatives, but take the jobs, J post offices, prohibition officials and all of the administrative workers off the Presidents back and put them on the back of the civil service commission. 1 No politician will approve. Politicians have fought the removal of every post from patronage to civil service. The granting of favors means power. Pa tronage is the rock foundation of politi- cal boSsism of the generalship of little men. The job hunters eat from the hand of the man who has influence
