States ambassador. Prank B. Kellpgir. has been nailed upon to play the (fellcate rrle of mediator, whlrh all the delegations confidently pre- rUrted would be hia sooner or later ■when the statesmen opened their par- Am here last Wednesday. Mr. Kellogg's opportunity came this afternoon when the French ideas of security were found to be out of har- monv with tbe guarantees required by the United States financiers who nre expected to take no n considerable portion of the £40.000.000 loan to Germany with which the Dawes plan Is to be Inaugurated. The situation, although tense tonight, Is regarded by most observers as rnpahle of amicable solution ^rn..-rh the offices rf the United States -ambassador nnd his colleague*** ' On one nrincfple all the delegations r?em stfll to be a greed—that the experts' pi«n affords the only solution for Europe's Ills and that the alternative Is chaos. Not Regarded as Crisis Accordingly the position is rne of anxiety hut not despair, nnd the del- jfates do not regard the hitch which >ns ocet-rred because of the bankers' demand for protection of the loan in the light of a crisis. It is emphasized that the conference which has made »ieh remarkable progress during the first six days, will yet find a way f*r"" th-g restoration of the accord which characterized its most important decision* When it was finally detwmlned %at the meeting of the allied finance ministers with the Untt- *d States and British bankers that the safeguards unanimously agreed ta by the comjmltteee on sanations ■4ml defaults respecting the German loan were considered Insufficient bv tbe financiers, Premier Theunis nf Belgium is understood to have advanced the first alternative. Adjud_"I'd by Commission M. Theunis proposed that a German default, which the first report stated might he adjudged by the reparation commission, could be declared by that commission only after eon- ■ultntlon with five member*- of the Dawes committee who would act In an advisory capacity. This is under- ■trod to have proved wholly un satisfactory to the United States hanker*. Then it was that Ambassador Kel- logg's alternative proposal was brought forward. It la not concerned with the declaration of a German delault, but dials entirely with the manner of application of sanctions tn Germany. It proprsea that sanctions mav not he applied unt.il recommendations for a default have been made by. the agent-general of reparation-** and the bondholders' trustee and also by five members of the Dawes committee who would be called In. Then the n,u**stton of RanrUrns would be put tn the reparation com- mission, and If there waa a unanimous vote In favor of sanctions all tbe allies would join in imposing them. The hitch comes in the possibility of ■ the reparation commission's vote not being unanimous: the question would then arise an to whether the -nations voting In favor of sanctions would take them, or whether they could be held back by the nations which had voted against the taking of penalties. Suggest Calling Experts A feature ct Ambassador Keltngg's plan Is calling in five of the* experts who aided General Dawes to work out his reparations scheme. They Would ■ likely be M. Parmentier of France, Dr. Alberto Pierili, Italy; Bmil Franqul. Belgium; Sir Robert Ktatdersley, director of the Bank of I-MEland, and Owen D. Tcung. United States. A United States financial authority Informed the correspondent of the Associated Press tonight that the only problem from the fI nanciers' viewpoint was (hat If any nation voted In tha reparation commission for taking sanctions. It might be difficult to restrain independent action «n the part of that nation, and as long las this was possible the basis for ■credit was not sound. Tie expressed ■the opinion that the difference was Knot a serious one, and that a settle- |ment would surely be worked out (Cnntl nil **•■*•. on paure 21 :0LLEY OF KAMLOOPS HEADS DRY RESOLUTION der of Dry wing nf l-ihernl | Party |%fm <;«*venimont Dropping Fr.ua Liquor Business VANCOUVER, July 22.—A aur ■ prise waa sprung on the government [today when a prominent Liberal nember served notice of opposition ko any^ale of beer by glass throughput tne province.

July 22.—Fixing of the degree of "moral turpitude" may e the legal problem by which will be determined the ultimate fate of Nathan I^eopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, who kidnaped and killed young Robert I-Yanks for a thrill. Upn»n the development of this question, legal experts say, will hinge whether they shall hang or go to the penitentiary. First steps in arriving at a solution of the question will be taken tomorrow, when the youths, who yesterday pleaded guilty, will appear in court for a hearing preliminary to their formal sentences. Admission of the crime by the two sons of Chicago millionaires before Judge John It. Caverly wiped out the possibility of a plea of insanity, at least until after sentence has been passed. The defence asked permission to present evidence in mitigation of punishment based on the youth of the defendants and their "degree of mental responsibility." Attorneys agreed, however, that if mental responsibility is linked In this case with the question of "moral turpitude" It will be the first such instanco In the history of Illinois courts. Will Plead Insanity Clarence 8. Darrow and Ben Bacharch, attorneys for the defence, were cryptic in their discussion of this phase of the case. "We can go as far as we like in the presentation of Insanity evidence and we probably will," Mr. Darrow said. Robert Crowe, state's attorney, however, has declared that he will not agree to tho presentation of any evidence tending to show the boys insane except before a jury. No less than 81 witnesses will be called by the state to inform Judge Oaverley of tho facta developed by the prosecution unless the court decides that he does not need all these details. The oral testimony, according to plans, will begin tomorrow with the calling to the stand of Jacob Franks, father of the murdered boy. GOOD OLD SUSPENDERS!

Invasion of the Rnhr. That implication in Mr. Kello.rg's alternative plan ia as abhorrent to the French delegation as Theunis' proposal Is to finan- :iers. Financiers Heard As at yesterday's conference, the views of the financiers were laid before the allied finance ministers and their expert consultants by Thomas Lamunt, ef tbe firm of J.' P. Morgan & Co.. ami Sir Montague Norman, governor of the Bank of England. On behalf of the investors in the 1'tilted States the confreres were asked to remember that Germany had a had reputation in the United States with respect to her debts, that she is already regarded as in default of her obligations and that, therefore, a (Jerman loan could not be made an attractive investment if there remained the possibility that, with the Dawes plun operating, any nation Id by separate action jeopardize the whole scheme nnd nullify the an security. I'nanlmous Act Ion Nt-iNled Trench spokesmen advance the "*w that France's real salvation rests a. unanimous action by the allies enforcing the Dawes report, and at it is hardly conceivable thnt situation could arise in which France would desire to invoke separate sanctions. It Ih pointed out that the present French government opposes separate sanctions. While it would seem this view by France has brought her very near unanimous accord, upon which the ■pes of the present conference Is sed, it is learned that France feels able to commit herself by protocol a position precluding separate tion. Thus the difficulty in re- neiiing the diverging views be- een French statesmen and Amer- in financiers becomes apparent. M. Herriot will be counselled by section of his countrymen that the financiers' demand means, in effect, the abolition of the reparation nitnission, and close observers believe that he will make a firm stand. But there is no disposition in the conference to regard these difficulties as insurmountable. Dilav Dlsa p|w lints The delay caused by the bankers' demand for better guarantees has caused disappointment among British officials, who a week ago hoped that by now the conference would have accomplished most of the work for which It assembled—that of putting the Dawes plan into operation. The British have tried to keep this one thought uppermost in their minds; they maintain that they have given way on many points rather than become involved in a maze of technicalities which would only clog the committees and delay adjournment of the conference, thereby postponing the date when the reparation commission could inform the world that the Dawes plan was in tvrcu. * - - -*■ - To the British way of thinking it is impossible to put on paper any agreement which would preclude separate action and therefore they are willing to be satisfied with some kind of a vague arrangement that would enable M. Herriot to make a bold front in Paris and keep this flying above his aggressive political opposition. There is the greatest sympathy for M. Herriot in Downing street, where it is realized he cannot give way before former Premier Poincare. The British are willing to stake all on the Dawes plan in the hope it will prove so sccessful that there will not be the slightest desire on the part of all concerned to take separate action against Germany and therefor-' endanger an international loan. The Havas Agency, the semi-official French news agency, says Premier Herriot of France, had a conference tonight with Premier MacDonald of Great Britain, "at which it is thought that M. Herriot informed the British premier of his unwillingness to alienate in any way the liberty of action granted France under the Versailles treaty. KINGSUPPORTED IN CLAIM TO CALIPHATE PIUS SYSTEM ON PRICES OF STEEL BANNED United Slates Steel Corporation Ordered to Abandon System UNFAIR METHOD OF COMPETITION Plan Would Build Up Industry Outside Pittsburgh WASHINGTON, July 22.—The United States federal trade commission today ordered the United States corporation to abandon the Pitts- burgh plus system of determining the price of steel. The commission held to be are unfair method of competition the sya- terr. by which the corporation and its subsidiaries put prices on rolled steel products manufaclured by and shipped from their plants outside price plus an amount equivalent to Pitlsburgh that a Pittsburgh base what the freight charge would be from that city. The practice thus wan found to be a violation of the Federal Trade Commission act and further to constitute a means of price further to constitute a means of price determination. The commission held specifically that the system is contrary to the public Interest, not baned on the law of supply and demand; is a price fixing system succeeding the old steel "pools," "Gary dinners" and other methods, and that it is made possible by the alleged domination of the steel industry by the United States Steel corporation. Limits Ci.miM-'itl'ni It also held that the Pittsburgh plus system lessens and limits com petition, retards business in all steel centers except Pittsburgh and adds greatly to the cost of steel products. It adds |SO,000,000 a year to the cost of steel to farmers in 11 western states, the commission declared. Summarizing in the. announcement of its order what it is believed would be the effect of abandonment of the system, the commission said it would build up steel producing and consuming sections outside of Pittsburgh, re turn to the western and southern stoel users the natural advantage of their location, decentralize the steel Industry and industries using steel products, enforce price competition among the steel producers, and eliminate other alleged evils in the in dustry. The commission, in its order, for bade the United States Steel corporation or its subsidiaries from quot lrg any steel price without listing separately the price of the steel and the transportation charge.

Miriam Folwell, a young designer, ia forced to remain overnight at an Inn after a country walk with Warren HolmeB, a man ahe knows only alight ly. The inevitable scandal follows, but when ahe /retume to New York she believes that she haa buried the incident forever. A year later she meets Anthony Breen, an eligible catch and a sticker for convention. CHAPTER XIV. Purple and Fine Linen AT THR establishment of Holland nnd Carson Miriam has an office of her own. It was Bimply but attractively furnished, with a large flaBs-topped mahogany de.sk, a filing cabinet large enough to hold her daalgns, nnd two or three chairs. Miriam came and went u she pleased, hut it suited her to remain ftt her work most of the day. Mr. Caraon liked her work. It was through him that she had been given a start, and now it was not unusual for her to design as many M two dresses a month, and once Or twice she had done three or four. She always kept a sketch book in "Which she outlined ideas as they ciuiie to her. Once she had had an Idea for a perfectly simple and very Unusual evening gown, the idea had popped into her head after she had gone to bed, and acting on impulse, ■he had jumped up, slipped Into A dressing gown, and with some plain hite muslin on a dressmaker's form, had draped and pinned until early morning. The next day she had burst into Mr, Carson's office with g. radiant nee. "I have an idea for an evening gown; it will make a sensation. ■Will nou let me experiment with Borne material, it takes so lon*r to make a decent drawing." Without a word Mr. Carson had ltd the way into the workroom. He did not question the girl, no did not caution her about ruining expensive goods, because he felt that She knew what she was doing. The velvet with the silver threads," she had breathed, half afraid that he would refuse her. But he ordered the velvet to be brought In, and a few minutes later Miriam was slashing with a pair of shears Into exquisite fabric that sold at retail for $20 a yard. The dress was exquisitely simple, but it breathed originality. For one thing, the neck-line was different from atytninf Everett Carson had ever seen, and then (he way the material was drawn in at the waist, why it was perfect! It would he sure to inspire any woman with the desire to purchase It. Mrs. Pendleton Phelps offered $500 for the dress 1£ they would promise not to have a copy made, but Mr. Carson shook his head. Mrs. Phelps was a good customer, hut $500, why, the price was ridiculous for an y&nmm A SpiriN Say "Bayer"-Insist!

Besides, the dress needed an uncorseted figure to show off Its lines and Mrs. Phelps, who leaned toward embonpoint, would look ridiculous ln it. ,Mrs. Fhelps departed In high dudgeon, vowing to buy nothinrr more at Holland A Carson's. Whereupon the dress was carried downstairs and placed in the window against a, background of Ivory white velvet. Later the same model was Bold to four different women from different parts of the United States, and each thought she had purchased the original dress. The creation of this gown brought a great deal of presjfge to Miriam and did away with some of the drudgery of her work. Of course, she still drew designs in colored ink, but for the most part she experimented with material its-elf. and whenever she saw her idea clearly she cut and slashed with little fear of making a mistake. Miriam was on the high ro*i'_ of success. There was talk of sending her to Europe before the year was over. Mr. Carson wai enthusi-i^ic over her. Mr. Hollini, who rureiy came Into the establishment, approved his partner's judgment. But as for Miriam herself, t>he went around with her head In th*J cluuds, and was as unspoiled M thoujh s-he had never accomplished anything.

The Vancouver Province has come out flatly for the abolition of the absentee voting provision in provincial elections. It charges that it is cumbersome, that the number of spoiled and rejected ballots is so great that the vote is ineffectual and that the length of period between balloting and counting is such that there is opportunity for manipulation and where there is opportunity for corruption there is bound to be suspicion that it exists. It also calls attention to the extraordinary fact, that while on June 20 the Liberals on the home vote polled only about one-third of the total votes cast, the majority of the absentee votes by the time they were counted were Liberals. There are three courses which might be followed: One would be to abolish absentee voting. Another would be to permit absentee voting but to count the ballots on the same day as polling. A third would be to adopt the Dominion system and open advance polls. The latter plan, providing the advance polls were held strictly on the Dominion plan, would meet the case of railroad men and commercial travelers, whose occupation forces them often to be away from home. Probably the advance poll is the best solution of the problem. ffieienf bvseh LttUPti- A. WpKim_t.

Sliced Tomatoes Coffee Cottage Pudding The following recipes have been requested by reader friends: Barberry and Pear Preserves—Free barberries from their stems and weigh them. Take same weight, in sugar and make a syrup of it by using one cup of cold water to every two cups of the sugar. When the syrup has boiled up and is clear, put the barberries in it and let simmer for about 50 minutes. When the berries are cooked, remove them from the syrup with a skimmer. Now put into the same syrup the same weight of pared, cored and quartered pears as you had of the barberries in the beginning. Let the pears boil till tender, too, in this syrup. Then skim them out and mix them with the berries. Cook the syrup one-ha If hour longer and pour It over the fruit, in sterilized Jars, while still boiling hot. Seal. Apple-I^emon Marmalade—Slice six large lemons, cover them with two quarts of cold water and UH stand overnight. In the morning put them Into a preserving kettle, add eight pounds of ripe apples which have been pared, cored and sliced, and let the mixture simmer for one hour, stirring often to prevent from catching to bottom of kettle. Then add 10 pounds of granulated sugar and let boll for one and one-half hours longer. Turn Into hot, sterilized glaas jars and seal air-tight. Pickled Bartlett Pears—Pare and core 40 or 50 Bartlett pears, dropping the halved pears into cold w:i ter a s you work, to keep them from darkening before cooking.

Boil this mixture for 15 minutes before dropping the pear- halves Into It. The pears must, of course, be cooked a few at a time, not being removed from the syrup till they are tender. Pack them into hot, sterilized glass jarrs (that Is, J;irs which have been boiled ln clear water for If. minutes, then kept hot by being wrapped in towels wrung out of boiling water). Turn the leftover syrup over them in the jars and seal alr-tlght at once. Apple Butter—Wash one peck of tart apples and cut them in quarters. Place them in a preserving kettle with two quarts of cider and cook till tender, then rub through a strainer to eliminate skins and seeds.

Mackenzie King owes it to Canada and to the Liberal party which he leads to hold a Dominion general election at the earliest possible date. Mr. King's party does not believe in destroying industry by hacking chunks out of the tariff. Quebec and Ontario Liberalism is pretty nearly solidly protectionist. Yet as long as present conditions exist, Mr. King's party is placed in the position of permitting a minority, the Progressives, to bludgeon it into supporting legislation it does not believe in and which is sending cold shivers down the. spine of Canadian industry, putting a damper on industrial initiative, reducing production, preventing expansion and injuring employment. That is a condition which is just as bad for Canada as for the Liberal party. The Dominion needs a strong, virile Liberal party working along definite lines of policy, just as much as it needs a Conservative party with similar qualifications. Upon no other basis can our system of government be conducted in the interests of the people as a whole. British peoples have for centuries refused to stand for individual autocracy. Today Canada is being ruled by a minority autocracy, which is just as intolerable a condition as existed under Charles I and his cabinet of five. Boor, boar and bore are usually pronounced the same way; but the most pronounced bore Is the one who describes his cold symptoms. Why doein't the criminal who wishes to conceal him.elf become some famous woman's husband? The rainbow promises no more destruction by flood, but it doesn't say anything about taxes. Out ln Ihe Kreat open spaces, where men are men, they usually soak you more for a hot dog. If a man should make a better mouse trap In this age. the world would clamor for a speech.

The Lighter Side Qf Progressi is slow, but It is only a question of time until pedestrians will be fined for denting the fenders. Air nviil service will a least make things difficult for anybody low- down enough to be a b:inilit. A woman doesn't need cuss words unless she sees shoes like her new ones marked down to $3.98. Chivalry isn't dead in a land where a drug clerk says "Thank you" after selling a lady a stamp. Correct this sentence: "fro back to bed. dear." said the husband, "I enjoy the little rascal when's he's yelling like this." WhatDoYouThink?

AMERICAN NAVY GUNS POWERFUL Maryland Shatters Target at Twenty Miles With Huge Shells America's most powerful sea fighter, the Maryland, was subjected to her first sea test under battle conditions recently off Los Angeles harbor. She made a "very satisfactory" showing, her smiling officers told newspaper 1 men after she had returned to her | berth. They refused to add another word, as the navy department has I issued orders that the results of the | h st must be kept secret. j But despite the reticence of the I officers It is known ihat the dreadnought added an entirely new chapter I to naval history during the secret practice. She is the only ship ot I the battle fleet to be equipped wilh ' 16-lneh guns. In her test the Mary- [ land fired the 16-inch guns consti- ! tutlng her main battery 10 successive ! times in 5 minutes. Tbe salvos were ' fired at targets 20 miles away and entirely Invisible' It is the first time in naval history that these mighty rifles have been fired at such range. Planes Direct Fire Seaplanes flying 2 miles above the target dlrecied the firing and acted | as spotters for ihe Maryland. The 'guns of ihe dreadn•! yoor common wtmwn telle you that those tendons, nerves, ligaments and blood vesaels all have to be repaired. The swelling from the ootlng of tbe blood and all the broken down tissue have to be remove^ before the' repairs can be properly made. And what agency makes the repair*? Tha tame agency that removes all the broken-down material—the blood. And What gives the blood the power to do all this? The food you eat, the secret iona of all the glands of the body, not only such glands aa the liver and pancreaa, with their abundant secre- tlona, but all the other glands such as the thyroid, spleen, the little glands which rest upon the kidneys, and so forth. So, remember then, that although a boll or a sprain may appear to be a local condition, ihe condition of your blood—of you—is the important factor in bringing about the rapid healing that y..u have a right to expect.

The H.C. timber holders during the last fifteen years have paid into the Provincial treasury, in the shape of royalties and rentals, the enormous sum of $40,0ft00,000, or approximately ( one-frurth of the totnl revenue of | British Columhia for that period. I The timhi-r holders' direct payments towards the running expenses of the Province in Iftl were more than four times greater than they "were in 1904, and almost twice us great as in 1915. In twenty years the receipts frcm B.C. timber owners have risen from 8455,000 to $3,600,000. Many Forms of Taxatron Again the operating end of tbe industry, represented by the loggers and manufacturers of wood products, pays annually several millions of dollars in income tax and ether form of Dominion, Provincial and Municipal taxation. Heavy customs duties on equipment, workmen's compensation, and other direct imposts also enter into the cost of manufacture of a I prrduet. the price of which is not i arbitrarily fixed by the producer but by the actual consumer in a highly competitive market. Embarking in the lumber Industry entails a big initial outlay and Ihe menace of over-taxation is even now actually diverting the entry of fresh capital from British Columbia's basic industry.
