holds. Set the most lourishing love
you can find on the rock OF poverty

III HICKIE was always a little
IL shaken when Janina tore at
IL the fine silver garment she
draped about life, and now especi-
ally about love. She saw herself
whimsically as a dried.up stalk, its
leaves brown and falling. She
laughed.
She>began to wonder If they might
not scheme some way to hasten
money and success. She began to
save a little.
Then a delightful thing happened
She got a raise of ST. month. She
was now earning 1925. In a year
if she put away s25 each month
that would give $500. Quite a stu
pendous sum to have all at once
enough to pay down on the living
room furniture
With a shy, giggle, she spoke OF
it to Barry. I'm turning heiress
Mr. Reid. Do you know that in 8
year I'll have $300?"
And what, sweet one, will you
do with it? Take a world tour OIL

She flushed and smiled. II have

on; why. my dear, kind friend
I'm to save up. In four years III

So you see why, two people can dc
quite a lot with vast riches like
that!
His mouth drew straight and pale
She noticed that his hands on the
steering I wheel clenched, the
knuckes shiny. She slid down g

looking at her: "Chickle you're no

been on the verge Of proposing for

League of Nations COuncirS :
Attempt at Mediation Has
Proved Il Failure

Geneva, Dec. lG tR) The coun-
ell OF the League of Nations, having
"rcgreti ally noted the failure ut IS
attempt at mediation in the disputes
over the MoSul region Of lrak be
tween Great Britain and Turkey, has
decided that the rich oil regions shall
go to Irak.
Great Britain already has the
mandate over lrak, and therefore the
disputed territory will remain in
her hands. 1t is asserted that the
British cabinet has sent assurances
to the league council that Great
Britain Will accept 4 prolongatIon Of
the lrak mandate 70 - years. Tur-
key. it is reported, will receive Il
narrow strip Of territory lying to the
north Of lrak.
The Turks are indignant over the
decision Of the council. Tewfik
Rushdi Bey, head of the Turkish del
egation here, charges Great Britain
with having brought influence to
bear on the council in her favor by
stating that the Turks had mas
sacred men and women, and sold chill
dren into slavery. This charge was
contained in II report from a thal-
dean Catholic priest and the British
delegation turned 1t over 10 the
council.
Turks Not Responsible
Rushdi also accused the British
Of armng Assyrian Chaldcans
against the Turk and Of using Incl
dents antedating the formation Of
the Turkish republic to discrcdit
Turkey. He said that Major Gen
eral James G. Harbord, who beaded
an American mission which investi-
gated the situation IN Armenia in
1929. asserted that the Turks not
only were not responsible for these
incidents, but themselves suffered
through them.
