MORE SPEECHES STOP SENATE'S SHANTUNG VOTE Adoption of Textual Amendments Would Mean Defeat of Treaty Colt. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. The plan of senate leaders for a vote today on the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty were abandoned Wednesday afternoon because of the number of senators who desire to speak. A vote may be taken tomorrow. Adoption of textual amendments would mean defeat of the peace treaty and would accomplish no practical result that could not be brought about by reservations, the senate was told by Senator L. B. Colt, Republican, Rhode Island. Referring to the Shantung amendment and that proposed to equalize voting power in the League of Nations the Rhode Island senator declared they would reopen peace negotiations while reservations would leave the treaty intact and would change its provisions only for the reserving nation. It would be unfair, he argued, to

increase the voting power of the Unit

ed States as proposed in the amendment of Senator Hiram. Johnson, Republican, California, and leave the

other first-class powers with only one

vote in the assembly. Senator John K. Shields, of Tennes see, a Democratic member of the For

eign Relations Committee, speaking against the Shantung amendment, said disposition of the Shantung rights was

a question not directly concerning his country.

SUPERSTITIONS OF LOVE LETTERS AND

(Chicago Tribune) "I wrote a letter to my love and on

It " Had you forgotten to stamp it that would have been an evil sign, so saith the bards of folklore. Did you write seven or thirteen sheets to your lover you would have been sure to get the mitten. If your hand trembled as you write to your beloved his love for you is strong. Did you make a blot on a page of your letter the on to whom you are writing is thinking of you. If a man writes a love letter in pencil to a girl it is a sign they will never marry. If you make a wish while writing a letter to your love under an haffe

or you will have a dispute w; lover. :DOGS. If a bride receives a letter' ,- a former sweetheart on her weddinY day she will be unhappy. If two letters from two admirers arrive on the same mail you will marry neither. A letter received on the wedding day is a good omen if the writer is a devoted friend. The bride who received a letter on her wedding day has before her a long journey. Sure, It Will. Never ask your love a favor on a postal card. It will bring an unsatisfactory reply.

If your love sends you an unsealed letter his love ia growing cold. On receiving a proposal by mail, open the letter out flat, fold It nine times, put it in an old glove under ycur pillow, and sleep on it. You will dream the answer you ought to give. Keep a love letter in your shoe, your sweetheart will be true to you. Carry one cf your beloved's love letters in your pocket during tho wedding ceremony and you will have his entire love during life. If a girl receives letters from a sweetheart, then burns them and later marries him, she will be left a widow. To burn letters from a sweetheart is bad luck. Tear them up. An old superstition is that the bride must tear up every letter containing proposals of marriage into pieces no larger than postage stamps and have them strewn into the fire by some third person or evil spirits will haunt the home she goes to make her own. Did you know that even envelopes have a language all their own? Gray denotes friendship; blue, con-stand-; yellow, jealously; black, bereavement; white, proposal of marriage; green, hope; brown, melancholy; violet, condolence; red, hatred. To write an important letter on Monday, poverty to come; Tuesday, you'll hear of a marriage; Wednesday, a water journay; Thursday, you will bo close to a fire; Friday, hear of a shipwreck; Saturday, failure in business; Sunday, gain of friendship. Finish, If Begun. It is unlucky to begin a letter and not finish it the same day. If it is a love letter it will find the receiver cold or in trouble.

Yes. and there sealing wax:

White, delicacy and refinement; black, death; violet, condolence; brown, melancholy; yellow, jealousy; pale green, mute reproof; gray, remembrance; Vermillion, business; deep red, danger; deep green, hope; blue, love. If a man writes to his sweetheart and she uses the same color sealing wax as he, it foretells an early marriage. If you seal a love letter with green instead of pink, you may feel hopeful, but it will do no good; you will be disappointed in your sweetheart. If you receive a letter sealed with brown wax you will meet an old friend or have some big surprise.

In Itaaly he was a fiend with every atribute of general cussedness. He just would not play the game for any country but the United States of America, and he would not play the game for the United States for anything but credit for fair and honest dealing.

Red Trousers of French Soldiers Among War Losses Manchester Guardian The red trousers of the French army are to be no more. There is a political and economical tragedy about it with which very few people are familiar. The originator of the red trousers was Napoleon, who was prompted In his "reform" by a desire to help the native cultivation of madder root at that time and for many centuries previously the chief source of red color throughout the world against the Dutch and Italian rivals. As a result, the industry expanded considerably, and some fifty years ago was worth nearly 2.000,000 ($10,000,000) a year. But then came the Graebe-Lleber-mann discovery of the alizarine dyes.

and in less than ten years, between

1S70 and 1878, the production of mad

der root in France shrunk from 25,000

to 500 tons, and then it disappeared. This was a great German victory. Nevertheless, th earmy trousers con

tinued to be dyed red, only this time the dyes had to be imported from

Germany! This was a great bumilia

tion for the French, but it evidently required the great war to put an end , to it.

The "Sellers" Kitchen Cabinet is the result of years of study of master cabinet builders and as it stands today has by actual comparison more labor saving devices and is more complete than any other make. The automatic lowering flour bin, Porceliron work table, patent shelf extender, dust and mouse-proof construction, ant-proof castors are some of the proofs of this. We cannot do the "Sellers' justice on paper, it must be seen to be appreciated. Let us demonstrate it to you.
