 SEEKING PEACE
Prime Minister of Irish Free State Makes
 Appeal fo U. 5.

DUBLIN, Dec. 26.-An immediate peace conference among the leaders of the warning nations was urged by Prime Minister Ramon De Valera in a radio address to the United States.
 After mentioning the sympathy which the people of the United States and Fire have for the peo- pies iii warning nations, De Valera said: Knowledge that in modern war, both victor and vanquished have to suffer privations for many years after the war. They should urge that settlement be sought now. It is better to seek a settle ment in good will rather than to wait until exhaustion has forced the war to end Common sense sug- gests that it be tried now before the war has wrought its full havoc"
 De Valera expressed his regret at not having been able to accept President Roosevelt's invitation to visit the United States last sum- mer.
 He said he had hoped to come to America to get support for his cam paign to reunite the six countries of northern Ireland with Fire.

 BUS COLLISION

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
The Coymons-Exporters Of Turtles and Ponies

KIDDING farewell to the new
 world which he had discov- cred for civilization, Columbus hoisted his sails and turned toward Spain on June, 1909. About ls0 miles northwest of Jamaica he sighted a group of islands which he called Las Tortugas. So was recorded for geography the land known chiefly today for its ex- port of green turtles and ponies.
 Las Tortugas are now the Cayman Islands, a dependency of Jamaica. Situated in the Carib- bean sea, the group consists of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, embracing an area of IDA square miles. The population is approximately 5000. Grand Cayman is i7 miles long, four to seven miles wide. George town is the capital.
 Here through the long lazy days of the Caribbean the small popu- lation devotes itself largely to tur- tie fishing, rope making, shipbuild. ing. Rope and turtles and ponies are the chief exports. Ships flying flags from every section of the world drop anchor in Cayman's ports for these products.
 The government of this British dependency is administered by a commissioner. The governor of Jamaica appoints 25 justices of the peace. There are 13 government primary schools with approxi. mately 1000 registration and six small private schools. The islands have their own postage stamps, one of which is shown above, is. sued in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the reign of the late King George V.

CHAPTER XIII

When Lance came to the house next evening, he seemed absent minded and excited. Janet asked, a little breathlessly, Did the old gen. tleman like the plans, Lance?" And he answered, after a brief hesitation: well he did, and he didn't. That is, he liked the house c lot, but 1t didn't seem to fit any of the sites he'd been looking at"
 Strangely he did not seem in the lesat perturbed, although or dinarily he was sulky If clients were not immediately enthusiastic about his work.
 And 1t was strange too, Janet thought, that after that subject was exhausted, they seemed to have so little to talk about. Here tofore they had been so full of their plans - the progress of the house, the tricky tile mosaic Lance had ordered for the floor of the loggia, the best kind of shrubs, bulbs and perennials for the ter race below 1t.
 Eventually Lance yawned and suggested a moving picture: and Janet, feeling somehow terribly lonely, got her hat and coat and went out with him.
 During that week except for one or two times when they went to parties together, Janet saw less of him than she had during any other week since she had known him. Tn spite of his insistence that they ought to be seen often together in public, the thought sometimes occurred to Janet - although she determinedly beat 1t down-that he seemed to find very little reason for being alone with her.
 Barney Mcknight lounged In once or twice in his casual, loose- -jointed way, raiding the ice box for what Aunt Mary called "pieces", and making the old lady giggle like a girl. He turned up the night before they moved into the smaller apart ment, and taking of his coat, help ed to pack some of the lighter things Aunt Mary was putting into storage. Lance had sent word that he had to wcsk that night
 On the day before Leslie Pugh's dinner, Janet put on an old brown tweed suit and a soft hat, wrapped c bright green scarf about her throat, and went for long walk in the park.
 The park was hardly 6 park ct all in the formal sense of the word; but @ large tract of wood- land which had been deeded to the city with the stipulation that 1t De kept strictly in a state of nature.

 "The head of the flrm-after I'd told him I guessed I'd better try somewhere else, and had gone away, this young man of theirs came to me privately with this. It was exactly what wanted. He knew all along 1t would be :. You see, this plan is perfect for that site because it was drawn to fit it by the man who owns those lots over there. Of course he didn't tell me just that, but I get about a little."
 Janet said, "Oh!" very softly.
 He told me he had drawn 1t on his own time-that he would be glad to do little work on the side until he got well enough es- abolished to go into business for himself, and that he could get me exactly the lots I needed if we could manage the whole thing quietly Now, just what should you gather he meant by that?"
