 And glonces at hx slippered toes. Encouraged hy her look at those, His arm around her waist he throws And kisses lips and eyes and nose. His modest bank account he shows Forgetting all the bills he owes) And paints a future, colored rose. Where love, in hearts united. grows Triumphant over human woes; It naver rains, 1t never snows And couples never come to blows. The early morning rooster crows. But he should worry, I suppose, For that's the way it always goes.

CHICAGO. November 19-That
very marked Improvement had taken
place in the Army under prohibition
was the verdict ascribed to the
officers by Miss Rebecca y. Rhoads of
Bellefonte, Pa, who reported at the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
convention yesterday for the depart
-ment of soldiers and sailors.
Officers told me there was prac-
tically no drinking in the Army any
more, as compared with conditions
before the adoption of the eighteenth
amendment" she said. They sent a
request that w. c. r. u. women act
as camp mothers next year"
Miss Rhoads reported that her de-,
partment had equipped five battle
ships with athletic and recreation re-
quirements, and had distributed 13, 900
comfort kits during the last year
She personally has visited 80 Army
camps and obtained 1000 soldiers

Stinence.

tians were it not for the warlike ten

that we persist in these things de-
spite Christianity and not because
of it.
prohibition is very close to peace
In India. One reason for lack of good
feeling between natives and English
is the opposition of English interests
to prohibition. A native leader has
said that one of the most serious
faults of the British government in
India is its record with respect to al
cohol and narcotics. He added: 1T
is superstitious to suppose that the
people of India would resent prohibi-

SENATE PR0BERS
RESUME INQUIRY
Internal Revenue Investi.
gators Get Reports From
Its Agents.

The special Senate committee in
vestigating the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau was called in executive session
today to receive a report by Earl j.
Davis. its counsel, on the findings of
10 investigators, who have been COM
piling information for the committee
during the Summer recess of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Davis report contains evidence
concerning the prohibition unit and
enforcement of the tax laws. Par
ticular attention has been paid to the
system of issuing industrial alcohol
permits and to the collection of in
come taxes. If the evidence justi-
hes, the committee plans to recon-
mend legislation to revise the tax
law and to tighten prohibition en-
1orcement, especially in regard to
alcohol permits
Chairman Couzens also has spent
some time preparing Il. program to
submit to the committee calling for
sweeping and immediate investiga-
ton into the operations of the bu-
reau. He feels that sufficient facts
have been obtained to warrant
thorough probe and that the commit
tee is in position to shut off the
main source of bootlegging by re-
StrIctinE the use of Industrial alco-
hol. The evidence, he says, also
tends TO show tax lodging in income
taxes and the committee plans to
delve thoroughly into this question.
Senator Watson, Republican, lndi-
ana, member of the committee, has
expressed OPPOSITION to the prohibi-
ton investigation, but said he knew
that he could be outVoted il the COM
mittee chose to hold such an inquiry.

PREPARATIONS LEVY
BLOCKS TRADE PACT
Negotiations Between Germany and
England Have Reached
Stumbling Block.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 19-The ne
gotiationS between Germany, and
England for commercial treaty
have reached a stumbling block over
the question of the 26 per cent levy
on German exports under the repa-
rations recovery act The British
government is understood to be un
willing to cancel the levy, while the
Germans are demanding that it be
abolished before satisfactory treaty
can be drawn up.
The negotiations otherwise are pro-
ceeding SO smoothly that British Of
ficials expect Germany, will probably
recede from her stand to the extent
of agreeing to discuss the levy with
the other matters connected with the
proposed treaty. The British foreign
office is preparing for the arrival
of the German experts in this con-
nection on the assumption that the
negotiations will not be interrupted.
Lord D'Abernon, British Ambassador
to Germany, is expected to return to
London with the Germans, probably
early in December.

Autumn Ceremonial to Be

Hl HIRAM n. MODERWELL,

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
ROME, November 19.-The long
awaited Autumn Consistory now has
hcen definitely set for November "a
tofG7. On the former date will be
held the secret consistory at the
Vatican when the Pope will hold
allocutions.
These are expected to be of >un- =
usual Importance since recent poll
tical events-the anti-clerical actions
of the French government and the
turbulence of Italian politics-closely
affect the spiritual work of the Holy
See.
1t is still uncertain whether any
new cardinals will be named Among
those considered most likely to be
so honored are Mgr. Perosi, assessor
of the holy Office, and the arch
bishops of Ealladolid and Seville But
since only four seats in the College of
Cardinals are ROW vacant, it is con-
sidered somewhat unlikely that the
Pope Will elevate all three.
The public consistory will be held in
the nave of Saint Processo and Saint
Martlniano, where Cardinals Nun
delein and Hayes received their red
hats last March.

really means the child and teacher,
and Washington schools have been
noted for years for the spirit of SYM
pathy existing between child and
teacher. The national program for
this day calls attention to the fact
that the teacher is the guiding infiu-
eEce of future America, as well as
the necessity of schools. the teacher
as a national builder, the school in
huence on the coming generation, the
school as productive institution,
school needs in the community, and
music influence upon the Nation.
Washington is peculiarly fortunate
this year in having better paid teach
ers, and this. of course, in the future
viii mean better trained instructors
Our teachers have for years been
perfecting themselves in their pro-
fession by taking advanced work in
both Summer and Winter colleges as
opportunity afforded The present
year undoubtedly marks greater eff
forts than ever before on the part of
the teachers to keep themselves up
to-date in every department of the
profession.
