MOSUL QUESTION DOES
 NOT COME UP TILL WED
League ot Nations Council Assem- bIcs Today For Important
 Meetings

Geneva, Dec. 2 P-Thc league of nations council assembled today with the Mosul dispute between Turkey and Great Britain as the most vital problem awaiting solu- ton. While the question does not come up for discussion until Wed nesday, the Mosul sub committee met cstarday, and 1t seems certain that another attempt will be made to bring about direct negotiations between the two parties.
 A serious difficulty has arisen at the very outset in the refusal of the Turks, represented here by Foreign Minister Tcwfik Rushdi Bey, to ac- cept any decision involving abandon ment of their claim 10 sovereignty over the Mosul area, which Hes in the northern part of the British -mnndated territory of 1rak (Mesorotamial.
 The Turkish spokesman pointed out that if the council decided against his country. the British would have the advantage of being in military occupation of the dis puted territory.
 We arc there too" he remarked, but added: That. however, does not mean that peace cannot continue for some time 10 come"

PRESIDENTS TRIP TO
 THE WEST

On the day when Congress be- gins President Coolidge is in Chi- cago. II is a rather unprecedented situation. Yet the President will be back in Washington tomorrow to deliver his customary message to the Congrcssmcn and incidentally 10 the country at large,
 T. must he conceded that what takes the President to Chicago upon such an suspicious occasion in his home town must be of some consequence. Politically speaking, it is. The President today addressed the seventh annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation, and anyone being even slightly in- tolircnt in a political sense can realize the importance Of attend ing a session of perhaps the lead ing farmers organization,
 Presidents, congressman and statesmen generally are very chary about offending any leading farm- ing organization. or any other strong organization. It will be re- mombercd that the President re- gently took a trip 10 St. Paul in order to make a speech at a state fair; he took trip 10 Omaha 10 talk 10 the American Legion-also politically important-and took a trip 10 New York to address the Chamber Of Commerce; and now 10 Chicago to talk 10 the farmers.
 So far as speech-making is con- cerned. President Coolidge makes them atl feel that he is anxious to please.
 Tomorrow he will address Con- gress, and il is 10 be hoped he will have as much luck as he has had with the others.

INSURGENTS STILL
 INSI-RGJNC,

Although dispatches from Wash ington Saturday indicated that the Republican caucus of senators had accepted young LaFollette -- al though he wasn't present at the meeting - there evidently has been no improvement in the political alignment otherwise. Later dis patches declare the insurgents In the House had started a revolt in connection with naming Nick" Longworth as speaker, preferring Cooper, What this will amount to is doubtful and altogether incon- sequentia. The main thought be- hind the movement is symptomatic that the insurgent movement still lives; and there Is every likelihood that sundry new men in the halls of Congress, added 10 the rem- nants of the old insurging insur- gents, will form new bloc de- singed 10 trouble and hinder the majority party.
 This is politics as ii is played. A politician is really in class by himself; he doesn't need to indulge in golf, bridge, chess or marbles 10 realize he is playing something. His game Is being played all the time. Work would be recreation.

GOVERNORS COMMITTEE
 AND COAL

Governor Trumbull has been in close touch with the coal situation since the anthracite strike started, having studied it with the assist ance Of his committee Of eleven, consisting Of three coal merchants, three representative of the Manu- lecturers association, three members Of the Connecticut Chamber of Com. merce. and two others.
 The only emergency in Connccu- cut is one of inconvenience" ap- pears 10 have been the verdict, II will be necessary for the public 10 10 use 50 per cent of substitutes this winter. And l. is stated pare~thcti- cally that So,0oo.00o people is :Aher parts of the country burn bitumi- nous coal.
 The governor is said to wish 10 avoid appointing q fuel admnstra- tor for the state. Instead Of doing this he and his committee have felt that the best substitute for coal ad- mlnistrator would be for the local Chambers Of Commerce, the Manu- lecturers association and coal mer- chants to cooperate on public cam paign Of education. the C. of C. and tho associations to act as clearing houses for information during the campaign.
 The campaign Of education is 10 tell us how to use bituminous coal, and the suggestion is made that there be volunteer demonstrators Technical experts are said to be prepared 10 address public meet ings.
 This attempt of the governor 10 circumyent the coal situation Is good as far as 1t goes. But 1t doesn't go far enough. One of the necessities Of the present situation is that the price of low volatile bituminous coal be kept down to reasonable levels. This has not been achieved. It is true that 50.oo0.00o people have been using bituminous coal but not by paying as much for it as anthra- cite costs. This is the meat In the cocoanut that the governors com- mittee seems to have entirely over looked. The public Of Connecticut should not be asked to pay the costs Of the anthracite strike, and there seems to be no reason why West Virginia coal should cost more in New England than it costs in the states Of the middle west. It was the cost of the low volatile bitumin- ous that caused Mayor Paonessa to make his original suggestion regard ing 8 fuel administrator for this city. The governor and his committee have lodged the question, The people do not need 10 be educated regarding the advisablity Of using bituminous coal--they can scarcely get any oth- or The issue before the state is why inc West Virginia coal operators are allowed to exact such high prices upon their products so that after transportation charges are paid and the legitimate costs Of handling and distribution in local communities are added the price closely resembles what anthracite cost earlier In the year.

 Q. How is salt rising bread made?
 A. It Is sometimes called self rising bread because no yeast is used. It is raised by wild yeast that 1t collects from the air. While 1t is rcing made there is 6 disagreeable odor that disappears when the bread is baked. There is always an ele- ment of chance in making this bread but the following is a good recipe if followed faithfully: l cup milk, 2 tablespoons white corn meal, l teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar tablespoon butter. Scald the milk allow it to cool until luke warm, then add the salt sugar and corn meal. Place in fruit jar or a heavy crock or pitcher and sur- round with water at about 120 de- grees r. If the hand can be held in the water q moment without scala ing 1t is the right temperature. Allow the mixture to stand for or 7 hours until it shows signs Of fer mentation. If 1t ferments sufficient ly the gas can be heard escaping This leaven contains enough liquid for one loaf. Make a soft sponge by adding one cupful of flour for each loaf to be made. Beat thoroughly and put the sponge to rise at a ten- perature at 120 degrees r. When 1t is very light add more flour gradual ly until the dough is stiff enough to be kneaded without sticking to the hands or the board. knead 10 or 15 minutes, put at once into pans, allow to rise until about two and one-half times the original bulk, and bake. Salt rising bread Is never so light as that raised with yeast.
