trary date for leaving This offers hope Of set

The whole spirit in which Italy comes to Wash
ington is justifying hopeful expectation on both
sides The Italian representatives say they want to
pay all they and lay their cards the table The
American representatives recognize this sincerity and
candor and agree to apply the principle of Itays
conditions existing in the Italian situation
Italy makes a better for special consideration
than some other debtors have done. AS Count Volpi
presents the situation, here are the high points
Italy spen. on the SO per cent OF her national

She gets only 10 per cent of reparations, against
Frances 50 per cent and Great Brtains p per cent
She is poor country, with large population but

She has balanced her budge5 "by immense

other country amounting 50 per cent Of her in

Speeches for Sale

A writer in United States paper
has received circular from a Penn
sylvania factory for the manufacture
and sale of after-dinner and other
speeches. Before receiving this he had
no idea of the magnitude of the indus
try. The management announces it
sold 100000 speeches in one year.
The thought is appalling.
We hear much of free speech. but
the company claims to have sold these
productions at prices ranging from 21S
cents to $40 each. Blocks of five can
be had for 50, of ten for So, and twenty
for 50. AS to their quality: 'The
data is accurate. the English clear,
forceful and oratorical." What more
could be wanted? If a set speech is
not desired choice may be had of 800
"snappy" stories, as many ..toasts" for
all occasions, plus 100 ideas for enter
tainment committees. Twenty-Five

All Holland "Takes Cold''

In Holland catching a cold" is a
national trouble. During the winter
half the Dutch people shuttle while
the other half recover from colds. The
raw seawinds of the lowlands seem not
yet to have hardened the Hollanders.
In no country is the handkerchief in
dustry more prosperous. A scientific
inquiry into the causes of "colds" in
the Netherlands and means to prevent
them has been organized by the SAM
tary section Of the University of Am
sterdam. The inquiry will last 35
weeks. From all parts of the country
signs Of sympathy have reached the
heroes Of science who will try to cure
the Dutch of a great affection. Eight
thousand Hollanders offered to support
the inquirers in their campaign.

The other guests, in pleasure-en-
crossed couples and parties, had all
gone, and even the walters had dis
creetly disappeared, so that the dining
room was given over to the little
drama. Out in the corridor the
stringed orchestra was softly playing
Memberships Spring Song" and the
seductive night wind of spring was
coming in through the open windows.
The young mans voice, clear and
deep as it had been, became strident
and hoarse with the will of his plead
ing. And finally the girl, in all the
glow of her charm, bent to him be-
witchingly, her eyes haunting his, and
reasoned with him and besought him.

they would both laugh gladly and har-

energy in every gesture. He leaned
his elbow on the table far over toward
her and rested his head on his hand.
The grace Of her appeal to him seemed
only to make his hope so much the
more desirable With her the inten-

before gentler soberness. More and

"The Newfoundland was jet black;

I haven't seen mastiff in twenty
