DEBTS RISE TO PLAGUE CONFERENCE

That the war debts, some $11 ,OOO, 100000 in the aggregate have arisen to plague the World Econ omic Conference in London does not surprise anyone Despite the fact that the American delegation to that a-important gathering was instructed that this subject was not to be dealt with and that President Roosevelt made secret of the determina tion of the American Government to keep that issue apart from the other issues slated for con- sideration, it was foregone conclusion that this nations debtors would not in fact could not if their own Governments to survive, remain silent
 But it was surprising that Premier Macdonald of England should make that the prime topic at the outset. It had been generally expected that the conference would take up the official agenda for discussion before turning to topic that was not embraced in the official list of problems that must be settled if there is to be any hope for inter- national accord and worldwide recovery from cur rent disturbed conditions. Bringing it to the fore is certain to delay decisive action on all matters if it does not defeat the entire aims of the con- ference Without question the success of the meet ing is already gravely prejudiced.

"Oh, it's early-for Sunday

The next time she woke up
it was 9. Mrs. Barnum, flushed
and smiling above her print

There was a bowl Of nastur-

said, in her innocence, when
they were seated at the table.

At half-past nine Sharlie un-

as silent as an enchanted pal

There were at least a dozen
tall, empty glasses standing on
the big table between the win

room was filled with cigarette
stubs and there was thin gray
film of ash everywhere.
Four Of the sofa cushions lay
on the floor. In the middle of
the rug were a pair of dice and
a big platter with two or three
dried up sandwiches on it.
And over all this was the
odor of stale orange juice and
alcohol. It hung in the air like
poisonous gas of some kind.
"Ugh!" said Sharlie aloud,
and threw open all three of the
windows. letting in the clear
sunlight and air of a summer

his bride, a few years younger!
They had known each other
for fifty years. 7 can't tell you
all their story. I know that
they were youthful sweethearts;
but something happened, as can
so easily be the case. The
young man married another girl.
The marriage was happy, and
there were children. Last year,
a half century after that we'd
ding, the wife died.
A few months later, as the
needle swings to the north, the
heart of this man swung back
to his youthful love. She had

asking the advice, I take it,
of any skeptical onlookers, they
decided to take this love Of
theirs-this precious treasure
with the seriousness it de-
served. They got married, and
they are at this moment on
their wedding journey.
It's rather nice, don't you
think, that love isn't a mere
mood or a nervous excitement
doomed to pass in a year or so?
There's great deal of thrill,
isn't there, in thinking that
this love of yours, so new and

And you'll admit; won't you,
that youth has no monopoly Of
love?

Whenever possible a mother
should nurse her own baby.
Nothing is as good as mothers
milk, and it is a well-known
fact that breast-fed infants do
not succumb to ordinary child
hood diseases as readily as do
those artificially fed.
If the mothers milk supply
is inadequate, however, and
cows milk must be resorted to,
feeding the baby may be a SIM
pie matter and it may not. Al
ways, of course, it is the wisest
and safest thing to have a
physician supervise the feed
ings.
In giving such directions a
doctor is likely to use the ex-
preston gravity cream" In
fact, gravity cream is the basis
for modifying cows milk so that
it may be made suitable for the
digestion Of so young a human
being as a newborn child.
BY gravity cream is meant
the cream which rises to the
surface Of an ordinary quart
bottle of milk after it has been
standing undisturbed for from
four to IL hours.
The doctor will also talk Of
10 per cent and z per cent
milk.
To prepare 10 per cent milk
one takes q 12-hour-old quart
bottle of milk and. with a one
ounce dipper, removes 10 ounces
Of the top milk. To these 10
ounces Of gravity cream 10
ounces of plain milk are added.
To prepare a z per cent for
mula the same procedure is fol-
lowed, except that to one part
of gravity cream three parts Of
plain milk are added.

Sharlie lay awake for hours
in Gertrude's bed, angry and
sick to her very soul. To
think Of her mother putting
her out Of the flat so she could
have Maud Hanaberry and
those two men there for the
evening! And to think Of her
doing it the very first night
that her own husband and
Maud's husband were out of
town!
Its cheating-that's what

stared into the darkness. 1T
isn't fair to Dad!"
He was the one who was
paying for the party, she went
on thinking. His money had
bought Dodie's pink evening
dress and slippers. It had paid
for the very sandwiches that
Sharlie had seen Dodie toast
ing in the oven!
The walls of the apartment
house were not very thick. And
every now and then a muf-
fled burst of laughter came
from the Dunns' flat. Once
someone bumped against the
wall.
At 2 o'clock Sharlie heard the
clock in the Barnums' living
room strike, and a few min
utes afterward there was a
sound Of laughter and voices
from the landing outside.
"Good night, Norm a nj
Good night, Jody!"
Good nightI-Good night

Then more loud good nights.
Moving very slowly and
stealthily, Sharlie got out Of
bed and tiptoed into the living
room. From the Barnums'
front windows she saw the two
men cross the street and climb
into a big cream-co1ored road
ster that stood against the curb.
They started it with a roar
and streaked away down the
street.

What Age Are Lovers

Nobody is a better friend of
youth than I.
I find young creatures adora-
bic: I'm profoundly SYM
pathetic with their problems,
which, Of course, are practically
always love problems-and I
should delight in spending my
last ounce Of strength in help
ing the dear things out of their
difficulties.
Nevertheless, the patient
worm in me, if it doesn't ever
actually turn, does sometimes
give a faint, if unmistakable,
jerk; and this is caused by a
certain arrogance of youth in
regard to love.
Youth isn't satisfied with
having 80 per cent Of the
advantages in the field of love.
Beauty, glamor, freedom. aren't
enough for it. It wants a
monopoly.
Lovers of eighteen, as you've
often noticed, feel that they've
pretty much cornered the
worlds market of bliss. An
adult Of thirty who has hap
pened to fall in love seems to
them almost ridiculous. That
men and women of fifty should
ever dare to dabble in romance
is really more than their dis
dain can tolerate!
It's against this mistake that

Love Is not mere game OF
adolescence. like marbles;
something to be outgrown, and
put away and-forgotten.
On the contrary, love may
manifest itself, at full strength,
at any time of life: and the
number of years that it can
consecutively dwell within the
human heart is. to the un-
romantic mind, amazing.
