You read the President's plan for farm relief, and form your opinion concerning It; It is difficult to help that which Is not organized for pro duction. distribution or self-defense. You see farmers fighting each other In a milk war, one farmer spilling on the ground the milk that belongs to another farmer. You don't see bank ers engaged In a money war, spilling each other's money on the ground. The President Is reported to have said frankly, that he cannot guaran tee his bill or Its results, but at least he will try.

In Vatican City, Pope Pius sees a new war threatening civilization, "a war on human soclecy, on religion and on God himself."

Inevitably for nations wherever the church is com ( bated." < This appears to refer particularly to Spain, Mexico, Russia and Ger many.

MacDonald worries becnuse he can see no way to keep commercial or "civil* airships from sudden conver sion to war purposes. There Is no way, of course. Any airship can drop bombs that will explode and poison gas that will make life In a city Impossible. President Roosevelt selects .lesse I. Straus of New York as ambassador to Paris.

Sumatra, and put out to sea while the commander was on shore. Twentieth-century sci ence, however, weighed the balance unfairly against the rebels, and after a five-day race through the Indian ocean, they were brought to swift sur render by one seaplane and a single hundred-pound bomb. But the ship was chased by a squadron which num bered not less than two destroyers, one cruiser, two submarines, one mine layer, six seaplanes, a cable ship, and a tug.

"During t e winter of 1016-17 mutiny broke out in the German fleet, disorders were quelled with difficulty, and In October, 1918, the whole fleet refused to sail as ordered. They remained In revolt until the end of the World war, sur rendering at Scapa Flow, following the armistice. "The year 11)31 witnessed two ?peaceful mutinies.' The British fleet and the Chilean navy each went on strike against reductions In pay. forc ing their respective governments to meet the demands of the men.

"During the counter-revolotlon in Russia following the Kusso-.Tapaneae war. serious mutinies occurred In both army and navy.

She was Joined shortly afterward by the Bailors" of the Ocha kov. and laler by five other vessels of the Black sea squadron. For a time I he squadron terrorized the city of Odessa. "Far more romantic are the Fight eenth-century accounts of 'mutiny on the high seas.' when gentlemen pirates sailed the Spanish main, and Captain Cook explored the perilous Islands of the South seas. Such an account was related by the gunner and carpenter of his majesty's ship the Wager, which set out from Kngland In 1740 Mo round Cape Horn Into the South seas, to distress the Spaniards In those parts.' Badly damaged by the passage around the Horn, she was wrecked on a desert Island off the Pacific coast of Patagonia, largely owing to the Incom petency of her captain. ?'For Ave months the crew suffered terrlllc hardships on the Island, while strogglng to build a crude schooner In which they hoped to return to Kng land.

"One of the most dramatic chapter* In the history of the South seas was the mutiny on the Bounty. Under Capt, William Bllgh the Bounty sailed from F.nglnnd In December, 1787. bound for Tahiti to collect breadfruit for Introduction Inio the West Indies. She renehed Tahiti in October of the following year, shipped her cargo of plants, and set snll for home.

Bearing only a Nansen passport, which the League of Nation* accorded to Russian and other homeless exiles, he must be In vited by a foreign government before he can go abroad. ZoubkofT has In mind the publica tion of his memoirs and a series of | conferences embroidering the romance ! of his many love affairs, but has In sisted that neither the story nor the talks will mention the name of his former royal spouse, the kaiser's sis ter, Princess Victoria.

This time research aiming fashions of yore has caused .reators of our styles-beautiful to feel a strong urge to dhlrr or tuck or braid not only In a trimming way, but according to news from Paris some of the- most successful frocks in late collections are either shirred or tucked or braided from head to foot. The heavy sheers and chiffons which are so enthusiastically exploited for general daytime wear, respond beau tifully to these treatments. The ef fectiveness of allover shirring Is con vincingly Illustrated In the model shown to the left In the picture. In gray, In the new string shade, In black, navy or any of the fashlonablo colors, for that matter, thin costume would be as successfully outstanding. Not only does It rnrry all the femi nine graces but It Is thoroughly prac tical and wearable. It makes quite a difference as to what sort of a blouse Is worn with this Jacket suit of shirred heavy sheer. For instance the blouse shown gives it a tailored look thus tuning the costume to the practical hours of the day. Substitute for this tailored satin blouse a frilly affair of lace, or match IT'S FINE BRIMS OR SWELL TOQUES If you like brims, flne. If you pro fer toques, swell.
