MELLON FOR SECRECY
IN DEBT DISCUSSION.
Secretary Pledges Enjoys to
Conference Not to Talk
of Terms.

Paris.-Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon of the United States has
pledged ENJOYS to the debt conference
to strict secrecy concerning terms and
negotiations to prevent popular out
bursts, it was reported by French Off
Gals.
M. Caillaux submitted a proposal
to the cabinet, which directed the
finance minister to advise Mr.. Mellon
of his readiness to observe secrecy.
Mr.. Melons message pointed out
the difficulties likely to be encoun-
tered if premature terms of the settle
ment were published and the outcry
likely to be aroused in America if the
terms were too easy, and the similar
protests in France if the terms seemed
too harsh.
The public and press show a tend
ency to take it for granted that set
Element will be reached. and accept
the necessity of paying with resigna-
ton. Industrial leaders say that if
more taxation is required and if in
dustry is to export more to make
money to pay the debt, the production
OF French industry must be increased,
and they ask that the eight-hour law
be suspended as means to that end.
Socialists and labor leaders take this
as an intimation that labor will be
expected to pay the debt.
ashington.-France will be expect
ed to pay the full amount of principal
on her debt to the United States. over
a period of sixty-two years, as in the
case of the other debtor nations, but
the rates of interest will be fixed in
accordance with the present and fu-
ture capacity of France to pay, il was
made known at the Treasury and
State departments.
The payment on principal for the
first year may be fixed at one-half of
l per cent, but there will be an in
creasing scale up to the final payment
to be made in the sixty-second year.

THE FEMININE ARTS

MO ONE who knew him at all would
ever accuse Harris of being ef-
Terminate. AS young chap he played
football and had won his numerals on
the swimming team, and he had all the
bad habits which adolescent youth is
wont to characterize as manly. He
weighed 165 pounds and looked like
young Goliath. Since he has reached
middle age, he has taken up golf and
joined an athletic club or two and is
still thought to have considerable
number of red blood corpuscles in his
veins.
He lives in a hotel which l some
times frequent, and l was interested if
not surprised, on walking into the
lounging room not long ago, to find
Harris sitting there with a woman's
sewing basket in his lap say "wom-
ans though why she should entirely
usurp these useful household articles,
cannot say. He was sewing ON few
buttons and had a pair of damaged
socks lying on top of the basket to
which he was presently to address his
attention.
He threaded his needle with the
skill of sewing girl. He piled it like
an old hand at the trade, and when he
had finished, bit off the thread as if his
teeth had been newly sharpened. He
was as unperturbed as a cheer leader
at a college football game.
whats the big idea?" 1 inquired.
when did you take up dressmaking?"
''Ive always mended my own things"
he said. 'You have, too, if you'd only
confess it. The trouble is we've been
ashamed of it, and have locked the
door and pulled down the blinds when
we sewed on a few buttons or darned a
thin spot in the seat of our trousers
I'm coming out into the open"
''Why this debut of the seamstress?"
l asked
"Well, if women are going to prac-
tice all the manly arts, why shouldn't
we take OH little of the feminine?
Women wear trousers and boots and
flannel shirts, just as we do. They've
horned in on every game we've started.
excepting football possibly, and you
can't go into a country barber shop
nowadays without finding the place
cluttered up with women getting their
hair bObbed. If woman can smoke
in public, there's no reason that I can
see why / shouldn't darn my socks
in the OPEN"
There was no good reason that
could allege.
IF the women are going to be so
manly" he continued, "why shouldn't
we balance things up and be a little
ladylike? don't care myself for red
cheeks and thin eyebrow, but there's
Martin Wheeler-Le's as anemic as an
old lady of ninety, and his eyebrows
hang over so far that they nearly shut
off his vision. Why shouldn't he have
them thinned out little and brighten
up his complexion with little rouge2
He would be improved if he took on a
few orange tints and practiced the
feminine arts"
Well, why not? 1 didn't argue with
him.

England state, in Virginia for the
south and in Michigan or Iowa for
the middle west.
Some time ago $4,000 was donated
to the Y. VIC. A. for research work
in the study of conditions in rural
communities, and their needs. Part of
the sum is being expended in this
way College girls who go out from
the designated schools will make OBJ
servations and tests in their COM
munities, and these will be used as
basis for an organization, to come
later, which will have as it's purpose
the fitting of college girls for better
leadership in the communities to
which they go.
Miss Gladys Taylor, formerly of
Western Washington, is in charge of
the national program of this research,

"The agricultural profession is not

Report Shows Ill Killed
In July 4 Celebration

NEW YORK.-Killed, Ill; injured,
1,030; mostly children-such is the
casualty list resulting from the use
of fireworks during this years cele-
bration of the Fourth of July, it is re-
vealed in a joint statement issued
here by the American Museum of

jured 14S probably will lose the sight
Of one or both eyes, 70 have been dis
figured through the loss of an arm,
leg, or fingers or through other mu-
tilation, 2 have lost their hearing, and
one the power of speech.
In the reports of more than thou
sand firework casualties there is evil
dence of only 81 arrests. Approx
mately 800 of the casualties occurred
on July 4, more than 200 taking place
before and after independence Day,
some as early as June "a and as late
as July 49, Only 80 of the casual
ties occurred in connection with pub
lie celebrations
OF the Ill persons who lost their
lives in the celebration of Indepen-
dence Day, 81, mostly children, were
burned to death when their clothing
was ignited by so-called harmless
sparklers, other fireworks, and bon
fires; rs deaths were caused by lock-
jaw following burns from blank car
tridges, cap pistols, firecrackers, and
gun shot wounds; 10 persons were
literally blown to pieces by premature
and accidental explosions; persons
were shot to death; % died as the re-
suit of accidents involving torpedoes,
sky-rockets, roman candles, and or
binary firecrackers; of the latter

The statement which was signed
jointly by Arthur Williams, president

a part of the actual sacrifice of hui
man life and limb which takes place
annually in the United States during
the month of July; no reports were
received from twelve states including
many in the South where few restric
