British /r* ERMANY'S continued support of Vj the Dawes plan was fairly' well \ assured by the result of the relcbstag elections. The three republican par ties ? Social Democrats, Catholics and .Democrat^? have 230 seats, -which Is v . J tjst <| few sh^rt of a majority. The fbre? monarchist parties have 170 ? swats. The balance of power Is thus V bjsJd byhltherto wealc groups, like the K Bavarian Peoples' and Peasants' par ties. . Doctor Dernberg is quoted as saying the elections show that "a nia jority cA the Germans are for the hon est carrying out of the pledges of the - pi?w?SfifilBn. and, moreover, for honest co-operatlofi^ln the IntpmntlonalnfTnlrs to peace and reconciliation. Iff" at present Is negotiating for wtrj to the League of Nations and otber internntlonnl relations. The ' . factions shojr that the people favor thla program and oppose tlio extreni the People'#, party wants a place In the government, no matter what Its political complexion." For the present the People's party has refused to go Into a coalition which would Include the .Socialists, so, according to dispatches from Berlin, the cabinet headed by Chan cellor Marx has decided to resign. The outcome may be the formation of a bourgeois ministry to Include the Na tionalists, whose opponents wish to | maneuver them into an Impossible situation. Baron Ago von Maltzan, secretary of state of the German foreign office, has be?.n appointed ambassador to Washington to succeed Herr Wled feldt,.:who has resigned. Baron Malt zan Is credited with' possessing great ] diplomatic ability. He was chiefly re sponsible for the treaty of Rapallo be tween Germany and Russia which caused such sensation during the | Genoa conference1 of the great pow ers. '| ?' $ THE League of Nations council opened in Rome what might have been an Important meeting had It not been found necessary or advisable to yield to the demands of the British. Austen Chamberlain told tile council the Baldwin cabinet needed more time to. examine the security and arbitra tion protocol and Insisted thnt consid eration of It he postponed until March, which was agreed to. A delegation from Egypt urged that the council tnke' cognizance of the protest of the Egyptian parliament against the re cent "wanton, British attack," but here ngaln British Influence prevailed and the lengue secretariat announced It could npt recognize- thi ' protest be-, cause it did not come frdm the Egyp tian government. Mr. Chvmberlaln had long conver sations with Premiers Herrlot and Mussolini, and afterward Intimated that great progress had been made to ward n complete accord of Gfeat Brit ain, France and Italy on vital ques tions. Among other things. It was agreed that .Britain should remain In the Rhlneland, retiring from the Co logne bridgehead In January but oc cupying some other region, probably that of Coblenz which was held by the Americans after the armistice. They also discussed the i problem ot North Africa, with what result is not known. FRANCE, as well as some other cen tral European countries, has been making a campaign against the Reds within her borders because of their at tempts to lncltfe revolution untl mur der, and many of them have been ar rested and deported. Premier Her rlot was subjected to bitter attacks for his course, but defended himself skillfully and won a vote of confidence of 300 to 29 In the chamber of depu ties. Over here in the United States the communists received a jolt when the Michigan Supreme court upheld the conviction of Charles E. Ruthenherg for violation of the state syndicalism law. It Is presumed that as a result' \V. Z. F9Ster, in whose case the Jury disagreed, will be retried and that Ben- . jamln GItlow, Rose Pastor Stokes an^J others who were Indicted will be brought to trial. >s^.' MUSCLE SHOALS -?vjis by agre? ment the subject before the sen- , ate until disposed of, nnd It gave rise | to some lively debates. The Under wood bill was up for action, nhd de spite warm opposition It appeared Ukely to pass. Senator McKellar ot Tennessee declared It wag drawn In the Interest of the Alabama Power company nnd that Its terms would bo even less favorable to the government than a bid made by thnt concern. The Republican steering committee of the sennte ngreed that controversial meas ures sucli as the world court member ship proposal and repeal ? of the income tax publicity clause shall be omitted from the legislative program for the present session. , The senute on Thursday passed tlier ' cruiser nnd battlAhlp rehabilitation i hill which the lip use 'passed last sea-! slon.

Where TO^'IkbII end?t Are we now the beholders Of a race of coming su permen who, with thoughts at fifteen similar to ours at thirty, will go leap ing forward to a" state of mental effi ciency hitherto undreamed of? I should Ilka to think it so. Yet, In all other, matters Nature seems averse ty'.?thla massing out Of steps.

'The first compliment ever paid me was from my mother, who said I was a good-loolcing baby but tad gotten bravely over It- , The second came l(ora ffly Aunt Beckle, who said I was smart; 'that when my father hit me tlie first . lick I fell and screamed so ICud he thought he was murdering me and soon quit, whereas my brother Jim tfllenly took punishment, which dpused the Whip to be laid on all the Harder. ? We hever mnde camp In our trip to the West by covered wagon, that some of the children were not whipped ; fre quently fathers and mothers led their children off, the children screaming. Til be good I I'll be good!" In this modern day I have not' seen a child whipped In many years. Whether the old custom was better than the new I do not know, but 1 have never whipped my own, and have good children. ? E. W. Howe In the Saturday Evening Post. Camel Fleth a? Delicacy If, as predicted, - the erection of a motor factory In Egypt spells the doom of the camel as' the "ship of the desert," other use'fe may be found for that most stubborn of beasts. By some epicures.. for, instance, remarks the Manchester Guardian, It' Is highly esteemed as a table delicacy. The hump, when roasted. Is saldtto be de; llcious, while the head, served with sauce plquante, is also described as a noble dish. Apparently, however, camel flesh Is not to everyone's taste. Some years ago several large consign n> on is of it were Imported from Algiers Into France, and "Chnmbeau Mnziibite" figured In the bill of fare of certain Parisian restaurants. After a brief jogue It fell rapidly and completely from favor, and the restaurant keep ers ceased to supply It. I&- Portable X-Ray a Boon J Dr.-W. O.

It was almost Invariably of sweel. soft and downy feathers; Its sheets were of fine "homespyo," the blankets and rugs of "spotfcti woolen" and flannel ; ?and the towering posts at either corner of the b??(J were gar nished with snowy curtains of dimity. for table use they hud napkins of linen und tablecloths of diaper.; "di aper-wove huckaback," kersey and damask plain and flowered." lhe household goods and furniture of those simple times were In strong contrast <Wtfi those now In use> ? China was as rare as gold and as highly prized,, most commonly three china cups and sapcers comprising the en tire outfit of a respectable family, though th? numbers rose sometimes to six. but seldom to a dozen. Pewter and copper were the orna mental. and Iron, then as now. the serviceable metal. Of the two former were made basins, ewers, mugs, por ringers, ladles and yeer'a nd coffee ket riiere was little glassware' In use, and the few "Jelly glasses, half pint nn<l gill glasses," salt cellars, punch goblets and tumblers of glass were con sidered unusual elegancies. Clocks and "looking Jglasses" embel lished the houses of the wealthy, and the size of the "Nwktollj glasses" cor responded with the degree of Its own er's Social standing. > Stoves'were not In general use, and coal wis unknown except for black sgiUfilng purposes;' wood, charcoal and turf were th* only fuel.

" Boya Chief Statterera For every girl who stutters there are five or six stuttering boys. Dr. James Sonnett Greene of New York, medical director of the National hospital for speech disorders, explains this curious fact In writing for Hy gela, health magazine, published by the American Medical association. Girls, as a rule, talk more than boys and. therefore, get more practice In speech production. Doctor Greene states. Although It is generally con ceded that girls are more nervous than ?boys, yet the girl Is more capable of maintaining her co-ordination under emotional strain because she is natu rally more grateful antt her co-ordina tion more complete. * For that reason It requires an ex ceptionally severe shock to cause her to lose her standard, hesitate and stutter.
