unable to accomplish.
Withdrawal Only Course.
''In the circumstances the delega-
ton of the United States. in pursu-
ance of the instructions received from
It's Government, has no alternative
under the terms of the joint reso-
luton authorizing its participation in
the conference other than to with
draw, as 1t could not sign the agree
ment which it is proposed to con-
clude.
I'VE desire to make it clear that
our withdrawal from the present
conference does not mean that the
United States will cease its efforts
through international cooperation
for the suppression of the Illicit
traffic in opium and other dangerous
drugs. The United States recognizes
that the worldwide traffic in habit
forming drugs can be suppressed
only by international cooperation
but it believes that for the present
at least greater strides in the con-
troll of the traffic may be hoped for
if it should continue to work toward
this end upon the basis of The Hague
convention or 1917.
With some of the delegates already
aware of the American decision to
withdraw, the joint commission of the
two opium conferences met today to
hear the report on the inability to
agree on the problem of opium smok-
ing in the Far East. The word
spread quickly that President Zahle
had received some momentous COM
munication from the Americans.
Japan Envoy Lands L. s.
After reading of the report of the
failure to agree, Mr.. Sugimura of
Japan praised what he characterized
as the liberal attitude of Great Brit
ain and France in the negotiations
and added that as for the United
States the records of the League of
Nations would show how she had been
'the star of the ideal in this humani-
tartan conference"
The American proposal has not
been unanimously accepted, Mr.. Sugi-
mura continued, but the entire world
would recognize It's high moral sig
nif1cance, something which all the
civilized nations would not dare neg
lect in future.
Alfred SEE of China addressed an
eloquent appeal to the commission to
adopt the American idea for begin
ming Immediately the suppression of
opium smoking in the Far East in
stead of making it dependent upon
a reduction in opium growing,
Viscount Cecil, for England; Edouard
Daladier, for France, and J. J. Lou
don, for Holland, all disclaimed inten-
tons to hurt the people of the East,
and insisted the whole trouble lay in
China's inability to maintain control
over production. Senior Aguero V
Betancourt of Cuba, voicing regret
at the absence of the Americans, paid
tribute to American idealism, from
which, he said, Cuba had been long
a beneficiary. He urged the other
delegations, however, to pursue their
work and endeavor to complete the
conventions.

Old Mister Mugguns sat in his house and grumbled to himself, If 1t wasn't for that mean old Willie Wolf, l would have soon had Lady J.indy's magical wishing stick. Then too, l could easily have taken Raggedy Ann's candy heart and eaten it."
 And while old Mister Mugguns sat and grumbed about the wolves. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Lady Lindy, the cute little creature who lived in the cunning little house, sat and ate doughnuts and talked.
 If it had not been for nice Willie Wolf, l am sure mean old Mister Mugguns would have taken my magical stick away from me-" Lady Iindy said
 And he wanted to take Raggedv Ann's candy heart and eat it." Rag gedy Andy said, Isn't he a mean crcature,"
 willie Wolf is so gentlemanly." Raggedy Ann said, Did you notice, he took off his hat when he came in the house and he tipped his hat when he said Howdeedo. So many people think he is ill-manncrcd, but he is so much nicer than Mister Mugguns,"
 So, you See, it was just as dif- ferent persons looked at Willie Wolf, and that is often the case when you and l think of others. If We are nice and kindly ourselves, it is almost certain that we will find others nice and kindly toward US. IL is only very, very selfish persons who do not respond to kindliness and those persons we must leave to themselves.
 Lady Lindy and the Raggedys were perfectly willing 10 leave peev- ish old Mister Mugguns entirely to himself and they would have liked nothing better, as he was so ill., hammered and unkind, to leave him alone and see nothing of him. But old Mister Mugguns did not intend to leave Lady Lindy and the Rag gcdvs alone until he had the magic stick and had eaten Raggedy Anns andy heart.
 T must have them" he cried 10 1imself, And I shall have them! I'll go right over to Lady I.indy's house and Tll capture all three of them, Raggedy Ann and Lady Lindy and Raggedy Andy That's what I'll do." So he put on his hat and picked up his crooked stick and walked through the woods mutter- ing 10 himself. m capture them and make them sorry for the way they have treated me-" So he walk ed up intending 10 go right in Lady Tindys house. but when he found the door was locked and no one at

he jumped something wont, "Riiiiiiippp" and he knew right away that someone had played a trick on him. And sure enough when he felt the door step. he found it was covered with glue and that while he was asleep the glue had hardened.
 We are going down to the gro- cery store to buy some Jolly pops and chocolate creams" Lady Lindy said, And when we come back we will bring Willie and Winona Wolf with us!" So Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Lady Lindy walked away, leaving Mugguns sit ting on the door step. Then when they were out of sight, Mugguns gave lot of twists and tugs and finally got loose.
 "T shall not stay here 10 be made fun of" he cried. as he ran for home, but 1 spcct thc reason he ran was because he knew Willie Wolf would bite his heels if he found him there.

ON HEALTH THE FOUR VITAMINS

Vitamins are scattered through foods, Mrs. Mann learned.
 But heat destroys vitamin in some forms, and for this reason it is well to safeguard the health of the fam fly by providing each day some uncooked vegetable like cabbage, lettuce onions, potatoes, spinach, etc.
 Nitamin A is most abundant in butter, unskimmed milk, young, sprouting green leafy vegetables and egg-yolk.
 Children grow exceptionally well when fed foods rich in vitamin A.
 Nitamin B helps in the control of

Diary of Nurse Johnson on the Obstetrical Case of Mrs.
 John Alden preSrott

Here l am on the swellest case I have had. Was called a month ago to this hotel on emergency and found Mrs. Prescott delirious. Con- vulsions seemed imminent.
 Fortunately Dr. Guy Seldon was already on the job and already he had diagnosed the case correctly as uremic poisoning.
 When l arrived the arrangements had all been made to move the patient to the hospital for an emer- gency operation. Mrs. Prescott was unconlcious.
 The operation was successful and Mrs. Prescott was delivered of an eight-pound boy and for many days she was in a very serious condition, part of the time in coma and part Of the time delirious.
 On the twenty-fifth day after the operation, however, she took turn for the better, and at her earnest request was brought back to this hotel. There were two other nurses on the job besides myself and the hotel is overrun with specialists from New York and Johns Hop kins, who were called in consulta- ton.
 If the boy has as much fuss made over him all his life as he has up to date he ought to be emperor of the world by the time he is 30.
 At first it looked as though in

bed. But she covered the valise with the quilt as carefully as if it had been a baby, She dropped off , into sleep almost immediately, but the arm from which the valise was suspended did not relax, but re- maincd stiffened and on guard.
 l stood watching her, searching my memory for any clue to her identity. Crazed as her advance upon me had appeared. I could not rid myself of the idea that the recognition of me had seen in her eyes had been genuine. The thought stirred me unaccountably, until my common sense assured me that l doubtless bore strong resemblance 10 the woman who evidently was the dominating figure in the poor girls da2ed brain,
 With q reluctance to leave the girl which had it's origin in a feel ing as strong as it was inekplicable to me, l remained standing by her bedside until I heard the opening door which signaled the return of Lillian and Marion. l could not rid myself Of the impression that this strange waif was responsibility of my own.
 "Thc Plot Thickens'
 Lillian's noiseess entrance to the room, few seconds later with her eyebrows lifted in inquiry, joltcd me back to saner thinking. With a beckoning gesture, I led the way back into the tiny living room. and as quickly as possible, told her of the girls astounding cry to me.
 "The plot thickens," Lillian com- mented flippantly, but I saw that the gibe masked a suddenly awak- ened line of speculation on her part. But it was not until ten minutes later that Lillian asked casually:
 Did you ever know anyone great ly resembling that girl in the next room?"
 I've been asking myself that question" l answered slowly. "and I am sure the answer is a decided negative"
 My friend gazed thoughtfully at the floor for a second, and then gave her shoulders a Gallic shrug.
 And that's that" she said. "Tell me, how long can you stay in to- day?"
 "As long you wish" I returned promptly. until the last train, if you don't mind keeping Marion up so long There's a nurse with Leila, and Mrs. Durkee. Edith and Katie certainly can manage Mother Gra- ham and Junior"
 "Then why cant I order an extra bedroom here for tonight?" she queried. Eve got a ticklish job be- fore me, I must go through this girls trunk when it comes, and I'd like to have you help me"

Then he rubbed his eyes and asked, What are you laughing at, Raggedy Ann and Lady Lindy and Raggedy Andy? Do you see any, thing funny" And when the three friends continued 10 laugh it made old Mugguns very peevish. 'I'N teach you to laugh at me-" he cried, Just wait until l take the magic wishing stick away from you, Lady Lindy. and then I'll eat Raggedy Ann'S candy heart"
 Mugguns intended jumping up and grabbing Lady Lindy and Rag gedy Ann as he said this, but when

spite of everything Mrs. Prescott would die, but principally through the care of pr. Seldon, she is now practically on the way. to recovery.
 These people must be immensely wealthy for there is a regular army of friends, nurses and high priced specialists staying at this hotel. l heard one chambermaid say to the other this morning that MT. Pres colt had rented the whole ninth floor.
 l have never in all my life seen money spent so layishly, and yet am sure none of them is any hap pier than l. In fact, l do not think Mrs. Prescott, for whom al lthis is being done, is particularly happy. She has such a wistful look in her eyes and I have never seen her smile except when she looked at her new baby or her glorious older boy, whom she seems to worship.
 We nurses see a lot more things in the lives of those we take care of during their illness than just the physical aspects of the case. l find here, in the first place, there is peculiar constraint between Mrs. Prescott and her husband. Her eyes follow him, when she thinks he isn't looking, with devotion, and he tries to be very tender and sweet to her He is a very good looking man and everyone likes him, but I imagine that he is one of those males that depends largely upon his physical magnetism for his popularity.
 He didn't get here until after the operation, and although he seemed almost Crazcd with anxiety, l could see that Mrs. Burke, who is Mrs, Prescotts very intimate friend, and who is here with her, is not sold on him 10 any great extent.

 was fully convinced that l had to do with a nadwoman as listened to the frantic cry of Lilian's pro- tegee, and saw ,her eyes fixed on me with what would have beeu recog- hilton in any orbs less wild and gleaming. But l was certain that never had I seen any one who even resembled the girl, Of course her query could he nothing clS- than the raving of an insane person. But l had heard that one must humor a lunatic, and l forced myself to speak calmly, soothngly although I am afraid my first impulse was to run from the room, calling for help.
 Why, I haven't done anything with him." I said. But I'll help you hunt for him if you like"
 As if my voice had potency to re- lease the spell which was upon her, she stopped short. The wild light and the recognition died out of her eyes, her face again became ex- pressionless, and her body slumped into its old listless posture. She looked around the room question: ingly then at me, this time as if she never had seen me before.
 "Where is the other lady?" she asked in euriousy monotonous voice.
 "She has gone down to the hotel dining room to get something to eat" I answered. Are you hungry? Would you like me 10 order lunch con for you?"
 She looked at me steadily for a Few seconds, as if my speech were an alien one, which she was trying to understand. Then she said slow ly, still in her monotonous voice:
 'No, I thank you. She gave me some hot milk little while ago. think - I -- will lie down again."
 A Chained SatcheI
 She turned toward the bedroom, swayed, and I .hrust my arm under her to prevent her falling. As I did so it jerked against a thin flexible steel chain which ran down her arm from some point hidden by her sleeve, and ended in the small valise to which I saw she still clung. The jerk of the chain slightly loosened her grasp upon the valise, and there came from her lips the same inarticulate cry she had given in the station, when the colored porter had tried to relieve her Of the satchel.
 Tt is all right" I said soothiIa,- ly. You have it safely. No one will take it from you"

 CHAPTER XII
 In Irons!
 Gray seas rolling from horizon 10 horizon, with a gray sky over head. The Orontes staggered through the roaring crests like a stallion through a wolf pack.
 The decks were too full of board ing seas for the men to work. A man here and there had a job where it could be done safely. Two ap- prentices helped and watched Sails patching flags on the poop. The skipper walked nervously to and from the helm. He was a seaman of the finest stamp, was Jake Stew
  fear in his big body; but this was his first command, and it is only the hit-or- miss sailor who assumes bravado the first time he takes his first ship through a hard dusting. Mary stood at the rail, wind whipped and splendidly eager. She looked as much part of the scene as the great Combers themselves. Her eyes sparkled, and her red lips were partey in ecstasy. When a milc-long sea roared up and poured its un- told tons of gray spite over the bull warks to flood the maindeCk anew, she gripped the rail with her capable hands until the knuckles shone white through the brown skin, and her fine body swaycd to the ships giddy roll. Little wisps Of brown hair lay wet on her cheek under her sou -wester. She laughed hap oily when a flying spray drenChed her face and battered like shot against her oilskin coat. Cape Town lay ahead, with it's promise of a pleasant break in the voyage; and the ship, though staggering, stag gered on a straight line for her port at a speed which wrackcd the arms of the reel man when the common log was hove.
 Captain Stevens developed into a wooer. Not even the bindcst of bats could fail to see that the skipper was madly smitten with Mary Man ming. No man need wonder at 1t either. In the blusttrous days, when sprays flew and sea Crests roarcd aboard, when gales stung and rain squalls kept the decks a-drumming, she WAS on deck every day and all day, except for mealtimes. She looked as if she belonged there, too, with her glistening oiskins, her blooming cheeks, her sea-blue eyes. She was the true oceans daughter. She stood on the poop as strongly at casa as any man there, swaying 10 the Toll of the ship.
 And Captain Stevens kept the deck. too. Stevens made quick work of his navigational calculations in order 10 lose no moments of the hours that Mary spent on deck. His keen eyes took on softer glow. He spoke to officers or men in quieter tones.
 Never did Mary appear to realize that Jake Stevens was madly in love with her. Several times he had be- gun 10 speak to her in intimate vein, and had been choked off by sheer shyness. His was a shyness of speech. He felt like snatching her to him and bearing her of like a caVeman.
