GREECE NJ D YES
To PAY DEBT
To IT,
Names Two to Funding Conn
mission-Loan Was Stopped
by Differences Over Terms
By FRED J. WALKER

A two-man commission, consist
ing of NJ. Oh. Simopoulos. minister
to Washington, and Michael Ev-
lambios, director of the Greek Ma
tional Bank, has been tentatively
selected by the Grecian govern
ment to negotiate a debt funding
agreement with the United States,
it was learned today.
Bringing TO an end an extended
period of informal discussions,
came word from authoritative
quarters that the Athens govern
ment had decided to negotiate
a plan for paying the $16,OOO,OOO
war debt.
The lenient terms accorded Bel
GUM by the American Debt Fund
ing Commission were reported to-
day to have influenced the Athens
government to Immediately take
its chance with the American
Treasury because of belief that
Greece has if anything, an even
stronger plea for favorable terms.
Because of uncertainty over the
time which will be required for
completing the Franco-American
debt funding discussions, a definite
time has not been set for the
meeting. although one month, or
SIX WEEKS dI TIC Odto1OC was AO-
garded today as the probable date.
A touchy problem confronts the
American commission, II it pro-
poses to deal with Greece as 1t
dealt with Belgium, it was gen.
orally believed today.
A signed contract, or promise,
was made by the United States to
loan Greece a total of 50,00O, 900
during the war. After payments
of 81 5 200, 900, further loans were
denied Athens on the plea that
terms of the contract were not
being lived up to by that country.
Interest was paid on the $15,000,-
900 until 1922. the Greeks claim.
when it began to be understood
that further payments on the
$4,000, 900 would not be forthcom-
ing.
The return Of King Constantine
to the Grecian throne was reported
at the time as the main reason
for the American stoppage or
credit. Constantine, who had mar
ried a German princess. was sus
pected of having pro-German SYM
pathies.
Greece claims it lived up to the
spirit and letter of the contract,
and stopped interest payments only
because America had refused to
continue the loan.
Demand was made by Athens for
the SIS, 200, 900 which it is claimed,
is still coming to them on the
original contract.

WHALES Of fishing schooners
returning mastless an d
storm-beaten during Winter
weather always remind one Of
some OF those too-little used fish
for which the fishermen risk
their lives and make their living.
The smoked fish-herring, hall.
but and finnAn haddie--are. of
these.
When one finds cohice finnan
haddie in market one wonders
why five or six Of these fish at
the most is enough to supply
town OF ten or fifteen thousand
people.
Here is a breakfast dish that
has q fine. salt taste of the sea
with a rich brown taste Of smoke
that rivals IL not outdistances
nOm0"Cureo bacon.
To q finnan haddie lover there
is no better way Of preparing It
than to bake it in a rich creamy
milk. All that is necessary is
to wash the fish, cut it in pieces,
place 1t in baking pan, nearly
cover with the milk and let 1t
bake in a slow oven 600 degrees
Fahr.) while the coffee percolates.
Serve 1t with the milk in which
it is cooked and eat it with hot
buttered toast.
For luncheon the fish is better
broiled. Soak the fish in cold
water. for three.quarters Of an
hour, then lay in boiling water
for five minutes. Wipe very dry.
rub oil and lemon. juice into the
fish and broil over q clear fire
for fifteen minutes. Serve with
hot butter sauce.
A casserole Of any of the
smoked fish is delicious, and
never more so than when finnan
hAddie is chosen. Freshen one
cupful of the fish and cut into
shreds. With this use two cup.
fuls Of cooked or canned peas.
one cupful Of cooked celery. one
cupful Of cooked onions, two hard
cooked eggs, one and one.half
cupfuls Of dried bread crumbs,
and two cupfuls of thin white
sauce, to which one-fourth tea.
spoonful each of salt, pepper and
paprika have been added for sea-
soning. In buttered casserole
place a thin layer Of crumbs; on
this place layers of salmon, peas,
celery and onions until all have
been used. Leave enough crumbs
for the top. Pour white sauce
over all, cover with the rest of the
crumbs. dot over with butter, US
ing two tablespoonfuls, and bake
until brown in a hot oven.

There are many snuff takers
who declare that the habit gives

Snuff is a powder the essential

finely powdered tobacco is mixed
with various other aromatic
powders.
A pinch Of snuff inhaled into
each nostril il for the most part
caught by the protective hairs
that grow on the inside of the
nose and that fortunately act as
a screen or filter to keep dust
from the lower air passages.

noon that everything Jared on

cards aside and shouting: '"Oh
you crowd of idlers! I'm quit

Driving home she thought for

be beautiful, but no one knows
what to do with IT," And she
wished that she was q man or
that she had her job back or
that she and Dane could rush
off to some desert island AMI

again.
She had longing for quiet; for
a beautiful intimate hour that
would wipe all this dusty irrita-
ton from her thoughts; make
her gaily secure again.
She snapped the door Of the
living room closed and drew a
long, relieved sigh.
She heard a voice and jumped
with a frightened start. 1t was
the very last sound in the world
she wanted to hear. Danes
mother was sitting in the arm
chair by the table. She had
Nora Lees sewing basket at her
side and was mending Danes
socks.
Nora Lee bit back an Axclaraa-
ton of annoyance. She didn't
need to worry. Her sons socks

had opened the door.
She now said pleasantly: "I've

better. Dane hates to be kept
waiting"
HE never is! Everything was

where the snuff takes effect they
will probably be blown out.
If that part Of the nose IL kept
bathed with secretions caused by
! the constant taking Of snuff, the
germs will lodge on the mucous
as they would on fresh varnish

This looks like q prina facie
case for snuff, but it isn't.
There Is no statistical evidence
tkat snuff takers do not have -
many colds as other people.
When the germs OF cold are
inhaled they reach q very much
more extensive area than can pos
sibly be affected by snuff.
The long continued taking Of
snuff first enlarges the little
glands that secrete the mucous.
causing an increase OF secretion.
The next effect is, however, per-

trils, a hopeless condition Of great
discomfort.

NO FUR ON
SPRING COATS
BY Alice Langeher-

PARIS.
A DVANCE spring coats now
AZ appearing at the expeditions
4 - indicate the coming Of the
plaid. Nearly all the woolens that
90 for top wraps combine two neu.
ira ones in q plaid or check.
All the new coats are very
straight and trim. like the frocks
they cover. A few Of them follow
the lines Of the redingote and flare
from the hips. while the upper por.
ton is semi-fitted. Others are per-
fectly straight and man-tailoreG,
with long revers and fitted collars.
They have broad shoulders that
taper down to q slim body and
some Of them narrow little belts
that go almost about the knees,
making the wearer look like d
little girl.
There, seems to be a tendency to
leave off fur collars and cuffs that
are often most useful on chilly
spring days about Paris. The new
est models have small collars Of
the material of the coat or a con-
trasting tone and the cuffs are no
more than a band of cloth. Some.
times there are very narrow bands
Of the fur on the cloth cuffs.
An extra smart spring coat seen
at the Ritz tea on Friday was in
kasha quadriIle in brown and
natural color, with a collar Of the
plain material, a three-button dou.
ble-breasted closing and vertical
slit pockets at the side front. Some
Of the plaid coats are cut in raglan
fashion and have collars and cuffs
Of plain material edged with the
plaids. They button down the side
front from the neck and have set
in pockets over the hips.

MEDITATIONS
OF
MARRIED WOMAN
Helen Rowland

love with him, when he DIDN'T
want her to.
The waning love Is like the wan.
ing OF a sunset; every woman
watches it until the lazy, rosy ray
has paled into cold indifference,
and turns away with a sigh-of
relief.
Every now and then, somebody
decides that a woman has the right
to do the counting and the propos-
ing; but, dear me, the girl Of today
doesn't ask the "right'-all she
asks is the opportunity.
An individualist is q woman
who refuses to bob her hair, her
skirt, her manners or her ideals,
so long as they are becoming, and
'suit her STYLE"
You may wear chin-strap and
brighten up the eyes, but nothing
will keep you young, IL you let the
heart sag and the illusions grow
dim and furnished.
A woman il never too absorbed
In her own love-affair to stop to
take a vital interest in another
woman's thrills and heartaches.
Love is like q spring cold; the
only way to cure It Is to break it
UP with q violent antidote before it
gets a real hold on you.
