tourists visiting the devastated reJfions
of Fj anoe since the war have been
mpressed by the many enormous
signs warning them to beware of
handling or disturbing the unexploded
ammunition with which jthe landscape
is still generously littered,
"I suppose," said one, "you make
warning signs bo unusually large in
order that there may be no danger of
failure to see them?"
"Partly zat," answered the guide,

lbund himself opposite a young couple,
both seemingly much flustered, and
the young woman nervously readjusting
her hair.
Thinking to put them at their ease,
the conductor remarked pleasantly:

WOMEN FOR CONGRESS
I
Five Have Announcod for Places in
. National House.
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 says the fact

that she is happily married and the
mother of'four healthy children influenced
party leaders to desire her
candidacy. Mrs. Huck's supporters
say more than 900 down state Republican
committeemen haVe indorsed
her.
Mrs. Spencer, Republican, who has
also filed failed for congressman-atlarge
from Illinois, is a soldier's wife
and the mother of two baby girls. 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

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. \

over the country, in spite of all
that the Federal authorities have done,

they would like to find some other
equally effective way.
The records of the prohibition enforcement
organizations in the different
states shmv very conclusively that
small fines and light sentences generally
imposed amount merely to a license
to Illicit liquor makers and venflaro
to HA hiiulnPQH
There are now pending: in Federal
courts about 10,000 liquor law cases.
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.

American Valuation. ? 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. "As there never. ^?as Jieen
such a need for tariff, which recognized
all sections alike, I think I can safely
say that this congress will nevef(: adjourn
until the tariff bill Is passed.
