The French steamship Espoir re cently was released by Greece after a Bharp protest from France. The Greeks, however, retained the cargo which they maintained was contra band of war destined for use of the Turkish Nationalist army, with which Greece Is at war. The newspaper declares the present case is more serious than that of the Espoir, which was stopped in Greek territorial waters, as the Italian steamships were boarded, it Is alleged, on the open sea.

Kisses Are Measured'

By New Instrument; Registers All Kinds ,(Bjr Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO. March. 1G. Kisses, some of them kick up your blood pressure. So says J. V. Breitweiser, of the University of California's department of education. He has measured "the kick." Given one man and one woman, who will kiss, Breitweiser told the San Francisco Advertising club, he could measure the linear extent and millimetres of blood pressure resulting from "the mistletoe kiss," the stolen kiss, the expert kiss of the finished flirt, the soul kiss. Breitweiser said the instrument he uses is so sensitive it will register a domestic kiss, the degree of frigidity in kisses one woman gives another she does not like, and so forth, throughout all grades of oscillation Breitweiser calls his instrument the kissograph. He gets a man and woman who will kiss. They kiss. The machine acts automatically. He also said there Is no difficulty in obtaining couples to carry on the experiment. The instrument in an adaptation of the sthygmanometer, wheh is a machine physiologists and criminalogists use to detect lies. WORLD NEGLECTING TO DO GOD'S WORK. SAYS REV. CROWN "The world in general desires to live without Immortality," Rev. W. J. Cronin, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church, told the Kiwanis club Thurs day. "God intended that man should carry on His work upon the earth but men do not get out and do a real hard day's work for Him on account of a desire to shove the work onto the shoulders of others. "If each one of U3 would give the full extent of our co-operation in the running of the everyday things, it would create a better place in which to live and a solid foundation for a happy future. "Man's hatred for man, which creates that underlying principle for sole accomplishment in selfish endeavor, Is ever evident. "It is the duty of everyone to respect the rights of others, and not to disregard utterly the influence of law and order." Paul Stein furnished the music on the program by singing two solos, accompanied by Roland Nusbaum, on the piano. CHALLENGES DEMPSEY FOR A MIXED MATCH (By Associated Press) NASHVILLE. Tenn., March 16.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

INDIANA FEDERATED WOMEN'S CLDBS SEEK TO OWN OLD HOME The historic Fauntleroy home at New Harmony where the first woman's club in the United States was organized in 1859 will become the property of the Indiana Federation of Women's clubs If the movement to raise funds, started at the state con vention last year, Is successful. 1 The abode of a number of eminent scien tists and scholars laB well as the birthplace of the first of America's clubs for women, the old homestead, has been' the subject of increasing interest in the past few years and the goal of macy pilgrimages by motorists and travellers from every part of the coun try. Fitted with rare and beautiful antiques, many of intrinsic value, it is said to be inferior to few of the most famous places in the New England states. The price of the home, if sold to the federation, is $10,000, an absurdly low figure, it is said, as the furnishings themselves, including a rare old piano priced at $2,000 are themselvese worth considerably more. The $10,000 covers the cost of the grounds, house, and furnishings complete. The federation, composed of 500 clubs and a total membership of 20,000 women has organized to raise the fund. Mrs. O. M. Pittenger, as chairman for the committee is assisted by the chairmen of each district. Mrs. Harry Dalbey, as chairman of the sixth district, is in charge of raising the quota from the Richmond clubs which are affiliated with the federation. Built in 1815 The old Fauntleroy home is a frame dwelling, built in 1815, oiv land deeded to George Rapp in 1814. The architecture of the building is peculiar to the German style of 100 years ago square, firm, with apparent lasting qualities, good for another century. The timber used, came from neighboring forests, and is hand-hewn hardwood hickory, walnut and oak. Labor was free and the community members in putting up the house used little metal and few nails in the construction. Even the joints were mortised. Records show that one, Franz Pfiel and family, Rappites, were the2 first occupants. Ten years later, the Owen community took possession of the town and the building became the home of a number of scientists and authors of national prominence. Thomas Say, the father of American zoology lived there with his artist wife, Lucy Sistare. In 1837, Oliver Evans, son of the inventor, came into possession of the place. He operated a foundary and made the first cast plows in Indiana. ' In 1841 Robert Henry Fauntleroy became the owner. He was a man of marked ability, a mathematician, engineer, musician and inventor. Later he became one of the principal officers of the United States Coast Survey. Near Seattle, Wash., is an inlet, Fauntleroy Cove, named for him. Near the inlet are three mountain peaks named for members of his family. He married Jane Dale Owen, the accomplished daughter of the eminent socialogist, in 1835 and it was their oldest daughter, Constance, . who founded the Minerva, the first woman's club of America. From this distinguished family the house receives" its name. The house was enlarged and at different periods the Owen brothers at some time resided there. It was to this house that Robert Dale1 Owen, the statesman, returning from Washington, .brought the astonishing news to those congregated in his home that "a man in congress had been bribed bribed!" Higher education was given the young people of the community at this house, as such a thing was not as yet afforded by the puWc schools. Vbile still in possession of the Fauntleroy heirs, the house was occu pied by several interesting families among the Goldens of historic fame, and it was here that Grace Golden, the brilliant prima donna, was born After the death of the Minerva club's founder, Miss Mary E. M. Fauntleroy took possession, living there with her mother, who was second president of the old society, and who lived to receive a visit from the board of direc tors of the General Federation in 1912. Cn Tourlnq Route. New Harmony, being on the historical map of Indiana has been placed cn the state highway No. 20, also on the proposed park touring system, to be known as the Wonderland Route, a branch of the Atlantic-Pacific highway. The ccanty of Fosey is knowr for Its fine county roads, having more than S0G miles of gravelled way. Several hundred women in this cit y. Including members of the Woman's club, Progressive Literary club, Athenaea, and Aftermath are members cC the federation The sixth district, cX which Mrs. Harry Dalbey of this city, is president, and in which the Richmond clubs are members, is coiuponed of 89 women's clubs. The district to date is said to be far behind in its quota. Each club has been asked t give $1 for each member, which if done all over the state, would .make the sum. A number of individuals in the state have subscribed generously to the fund, tome women having given suis ranging from $25 to $-'t0. Tho matter is to be taUen up at tho district convention at Liberty, May 1G and 17, and in the meantime a plea is sent to all sivth district c.'ubs to join in the undertaking to preserve the historical Fauntlerroy home as an Indiana treasure.

TREATY ONSLAUGHT

IS NOT ABANDONED DESPITE AGREEMENT (Br Associated Preng) WASHINGTON. March 16. Despite the acquiescence in the senate agree-. ment to vote finally on the four-power treaty on March 24, the irreconciliables opposing ratification gave evidence today that they had no Inten tion of. abandoning their war against the arms conference agreements. Administration leaders persisted In their declaration that the agreemert for a vote marked the collapso of ah hopes for defeat of any of the con ference treaties, nut senator Keen, Democrat, Missouri, went ahead on the senate floor with the Irreconcilable onslaught in a speech charging that the whole conference program has been "misrepresented to the pubUc" He presented naval figures which he said would prove that the naval and the four power treaty taken together would plane the United States ;n such relative' position as to involve the greatest danger to national ee curity. Voting Agreement. Unanimous agreement was reached yesterday to limit debate and take a hnal vote Friday, March 24. The votng agreement was reached after a series ot conierences oeiwccu luc vfl Houa senat elements. It provides for deferment of rpll calls on all further reservations .or amendments until next Tuesday for Uriitation of speeches beginning on Wednesday and for a final vote as soon as the senate convenes the following Friday. It was believed today that the opposition now would center its efforts largely on an attempt to secure by reservation to the treaty what it has failed three times to secure by amend-ment--provision that outside powers shall be called into consultation when any Pacific controversy touches their interests. . Although prior to reaching the voting agreement, the senate yesterday again refused to amend the treaty to this effect, proponents of the proposal still believe that a reservation of the right kind might command the support of many who opposed amendment because it would involve the re opening of the treaty negotiations.
