The following women are among those running for" congress this year: Mrs. Ellen Duance Davis of Philadelphia, Mrs. Winnlfred Mason Huck of Chicago, Mrs. Mary Belle Spencer of Hill Top, Cook county, 111., Mrs. Irene Cleveland Buell of Ashland, Neb., and Mrs. A. K. Gault, mayor of St. Peter, Minn. The latter two are sisters. The Philadelphia candidate seeking the Democratic nomination, is ' a Great-grcal-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin, who as a boy, exchanged argumentative letters with a friend defending the propriety of educating women and their ntness for education. He explained in his autobiography, however, thfct he took this advanced stand ''perhaps a little for dispute's sake." Though times have changed, the present candidates encounter an attitude of surprise sometimes, judging from remarks ,of Mrs. Buell and Mfs. Huck. "It makes me weary to have people expect inc to he a freak because I am interested in ^politics," says Mrs. Buell of Nebraska, who adds "mother always said I was the most domestic of her four daughters." Mrs. Huck, who is a daughter of the late Congressman William E. Mason, in a statement to the Women's Press, replies to a young woman's remark. "The nerve of her going into such a big campaign." with the comment that "to be a good congressman," as she means to be, will require even more "nerve." Mrs. Buell, the "most domestic" of her mother's four daughters has been city prosecutor of Ashland since 1'JIK, though one mayor tried vainly to discharge her when she persisted in prosecuting his brother. Mrs. Gault. the Minnesota candidate, is Mrs. Buell's sister. The two have filed papers in accordance with an agreement of long-standing between the sisters that if one ran for congress the other should do likewise, Mrs. Buell says. Mrs. Buell set the example. The Nebraska woman who classes herself as a Progressive Democrat, adds that their father was the first mayor of the municipality of which Mrs. Gault is now mayor, and that politics runs in the family. Similarly, .Mrs. Huck, Republican, says that common interests with her father and determination to continue his work led her to file for congressman-at-largc to fill the vacancy created by his death.

She was appointed * public guardian of Cook county by Gov. Louden in 1918, and has continued in office to date. She practices law and has had cases in New York, California* Indiana and Kansas. She favors a soldiers' bonus, economy in administration, and "personal liberty in its broader sense." She says she would not vote on the liquor question as the majority of her constituents would, but omits mention of which side she would take. Mrs. Spencer holds htat crime l as its source in the development of the child: and therefore she favors higher educational standards with reference to character training. WEALTHY MR. MELLON. Secretary of the Treasury is Irwnense' ly Rich. The eligibility of Andrew W. Mellon to serve as secretary of the treasury is becoming almost a daily bone of contention in congress. Demand after demand has been made that the man who is credited with running John D. Rockfeller a close second as the weaitniest man in the United States?individually and not as secretary of the treasury?be ousted from his job in the president's cabinet. Representative Brand (Democrat, of Georgia.) is one of the latest assailants of Secretary Mellon. Brand has served formal demand on the senate that, while it is investigating the eligibility of Senator Smoot and Representative Burton to act as members of the debt refunding commission, it include in the.inquiry determination of the status of Mellon to act, not only on the commission, but as secretary of the treasury. "Owes- U. S. Billions." "The question involved is one In which every taxpayer in the United States Is interested," says Representative Brand. "It is a world-wide known fact that certain European nations I owe the United States about $11,000,000.000. It is generally known also that they owe a group of international bankers about $5,000,000,000.

IRISH PEACE AGREEMENT All Parties Now Hopeful of Returning Sanity. The terms of the Irish agreement as announced in the British House of Commons Thursday are as follows: First?Peace is today declared. Second?From today the two governments undertake to cooperate in every way in their power -with a view to the restoration of peaceful conditions in the unsettled areas. Third?The police in Belfast are to he organized tn general in accordance with the following conditions: (1) "Special police in mixed districts to be composed half of .Catholics and half of Protestants. All specials not required for these forces to be withdrawn to their homes and surrender their arms. . (2) An Advisory CommitCe composed of Catholics will assist in the selection of Catholic recruits for the special police. (3) All police on duty, except the usual Secret Servicfe men. to be uniformed and officially numbered. Arms to bs Guarded. (4) All arms and ammunition issued to the police to be deposited in barracks in charge of a military or other competent officer when policemen are not on duty, and an official record must he kept of all arms issued and ammunition used. (5) And search for arms is to be carried out by a police force composed half of Catholics and half Protestants, the military rendering any necessary assistance. Fourth?A court is to be constituted for the trial, without Jury, of persons charged with scrtoup crimes, the court to consist of the I<ord Chief Justice and one of the Lord's Justices of Appeal in Northern Ireland. Any person committed for trtal for a serious crime is to be tried by that court (a) if he so requests, or (b) if the attorney general for Northern Ireland so directs. . Serious crimes are those punishable by death, penal servitude or imprisonment exceeding six months. The government of Northern Ireland will take steps to pass necessary legislation to give effect to this article. Fifth?a committee is to be established in Belfast with equal numbers of Catholics and Protestants and with an independent chairman, preferably a Catholic or a Protestant alternately In successive weeks, to hear and investigate complaints of Intimidation, outrages, &c., bucH ^ommlttee having direct access tp the'heads of the gov im.. i.jJt i_ ._ u mucin. x uc iuuui prt?o is iu uc tipproached with a view to inserting1 only such reports of disturbances &c., as shall have been considered and communicated by des#1 committee.

Sixth?Irish Republican army activities are to cease'Hi the six counties, and thereupon a tfiethod of organized special police in tWe six counties outside of Belfast shall proceed as speedily as possible on llhes similar to those agreed on in BelftiUt. . Seventh?Durinfe^the month immediately following thO:passing into law of a bill confirming the Constitution of the Free State, being the month within which the Northern parliament is to however, conformed to weight reguladress in accordance with Article XII of the treaty is presented, there shall be a further meeting between the signatories this agreement with a view to ascertaining (a) whether means can be devised to secure unity in Ireland, or, (b) failing this, whether an agreement can be arrived at on the boundary question otherwise thaw by recourse to the Boundary Commission under the treaty. > '. Eisrhth?The return to their homes of persons expelled is fo be secured by the respective governments, and the ers are bent on having their money and are interested' in collecting it whether the United States ever collects a dollar or not. Here are two classes of creditors, with claims against a common debtor which is generally reputed to be bankrupt. Their interests are in conflict and are adverse. Therefore it becomes a very important matter to know whether or not Mr. Mellon is the owner of any of these obligations due these private bankers or whether any of his kinfolk within the prohibited degree are the owners of them or whether any of the great banking and financial institutions to which he belongs is the owner of any of them or interested in any of these debts." Brand declares that there is a statute, placed on the federal books in 1789, which disqualifies the secretary nf the treasury from acting if he is engaged in the business of trade or commerce or if he owns any state or national securities. Mellon's Banking Connections. Brand declares that Secretary Mellon is connected with three banks, four insurance companies, seven educational and philanthropic institutions and sixty-two other corporations. The Georgia representative indicated that, in his opinion, Mellon is connected with the international banking interests to which Europe is indebted to the extent of J5.00C 000,000. "The truth is," he said, "some of these international bankers want the debts due the United States canceled, knowing if this is done that it will make their debts against the European nations worth 100 cents on the dollar. "Those who do not come out squarely for cancelation of these Ofo ilononl,, ; n r. >-f>s t eri in haV ing the United States agree to a long time postponement of the collection of its loans. Mr. Mellon believes this is done, and it is going to.be done, the debt of the private bajikers will increase in value and every dollar of the same will be collected before the United Stntas collects a dollar of its principal debt." advice of the committee mentioned in Article V is to be sought in cases of difficulty. Money for Relief Work. Ninth?In view of the special conditions consequent on the political situation in Belfast and neighborhood, the British government will submit to parliament a vote, not exceeding ?500,000, for the ministry of labor in Northern Ireland to be expended exclusively in relief work, one-third for the benefit of Catholics and two-thirds for Pro testants. The Northern signatories agree to use every effort to secure the restoration of the expelled workmen, and wherever this proves Impracticable owing to trade depression, they will be afforded employment on relief work. Tenth?The two governments can, in cases agreed upon between the signatories, arrange for the release of political prisoners in prison for offenses committed before the date hereof. No offenses committed after March 31 shall be open to consideration. Eleventh?The two governments unite in appealing to all concerned to refrain from inflammatory speeches and to exercise restraint in the interests of peace. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Provisional government by Michael Collins, Eamon J. Duggan and Arthur Griffith; for the Norwiern government, by Sir James Craig, the Marquis of Londonderry and E. A. Archdale, and for the Imperial government by Winston Spencer Churqhlll, Sir Laming Worthington-Evans and Sir Hamer Greenwood. MIGHT LOCK THEM UP. Qrastic Provisions of the Volstead ' i Law. Use of the "padlock" weapon, to stamp out bootlegging and illicit distilling, is to be resorted to upon a large scale over the United. States. Prohibition Commissioner Haynes says that the "padlock" provision of the Volstead law, a^h rising the seizure and closing of places occupied by violators of the liquor laws may prove in the end to be the greatest single method of drying up the country. Mr. Haynes, impressed with the salutary effect in a number of places following the closing of hotels and other places where very serious violations were shown, now believes that the handicaps to prohibition enforcement must be overcome by the rigid application of this provision. \ The great degree of wetness prevailing over the country, in spite of all that the Federal authorities have done, * ?L * Uovnoa tfi nas oruugiiL Lunmnooiu.ivi ???/ ? the conclusion that still more vigorous tactics must be employed.

Officials cited the fact last week to emphasize the.importance of their plan to use the "padlock." It was declared that in the cases pending: there arc thousands pf second and third offenders. Ability to pay the fees of bondsmen and attorneys renders them practically immune from penitentiary service. According: to the programme agreed upon, officials will, ask for the closing of buildings, occupied by those known to be engaged in the making and selling of intoxicating liquors as a business.. Officials said they can stop a great deal of the illicit bootlegging now going on by that means, especially in the larger cities. Cocoa Is the Nut; We Drink Cacao. ?Cocoa and cacao are not the same thing by any means. The word "cococ" is a corruption of "Cacao," which is the correct name of the tree from which what wc call cocoa is taken; the correct spelling is pre-J served in German, French and. Spanish. The Scientific American says that the cocoanut palm (Cocos nucifera) gives us cocoanut8, while tho tree Theobroma cocoa gives us cocoa. This latter is a native of Soyth America, but It has been planted nlso very extensively in all parts of the tropics. The Mexicans call it chocolate, which is one of the names we use. The cacao tree is an evergreen and boars fruit and flpwers all the year round, but the usual times for gathering the fruit are June and December.

Confidence that a tariff measure embodying "some form of American valuation" will be enacted by the present congress has been expressed by Senator Frank R. Gooding, republican, Idaho, in a statement issued by him as "chairman of the tariff bloc, United States senate." "The senate finance committee, after months of the most painstaking studv and cara -has about comfifoted its work on the first all-American tariff bill in our history," the statefnent ment said.
