He and Senator Lodge will meet face to face across the committee table and Borah says he w’ill question Lodge closely, not only with regard to the four-power pact, but regarding everything that has transpired at the secret sessions. It is understood that Borah will also seek to have the sessions of the foreign relations committee made public when it is considering the four-pow’er and other treaties negotiated at the armament conference. When the Versailles treaty was before the committee, it held a series of open sessions at w’hich Secretary of State Lansing and other American delegates at Versailles revealed much that had taken place at secret sessions. It Is recalled that the fv” eign relations committee vlsit ,ur ’ IkWhite House to interrogate P lbWilson regarding the VersailMe Rice, and that what took place betw«, lb. and the committee members w cw j sequently made public. Une Secretary Hughes is understo a c have expressed a willingness t pear before the committee wrf> takes up the decisions of the confe. ence and it is also expected that President Harding will receive the committee at the White House after the fourpower and other conference treaties are submitted to the senate and formally referred to the committee. The lineup in the committee is expected to foreshadow the lineup in the senate on the decision of the conference. There are 16 members of the committee through whose hands all of the treaties must pass before they can be ratified by the senate. It is recalled that the Versailles treaty emerged from the committee in a form much altered from that in which Mr. Wilson submitted it to the senate. The Republican members number eight besides Lodge and Borah —McCumber, North Dakota; Brandegee, Connecticut; Johnson, California; New, Indiana; Moses, New’ Hampshire ; Kellogg, Minnesota; McCormick, Illinois, and Wadsworth, NewYork. The six Democratic members are: Hitchcock, Nebraska; Williams. Mississippi ; Sw’anson, Virginia; Pomerene, Ohio; Pittman, Nevada, and Shields, Tennessee. Shields has said he will vote against the four-power treaty. He was an “irreconcilable” in the League of Nations fight, lining up with Borah, Johnson, Moss and McCormick. McCumber and Kellogg are “mild I reservationists.” All of the Democratic i committee members are noncommlt- ' tai regarding the new treaty except Shields. COLONEL WATTERSON IS DEAD Soldier, Journalist and Political Sage Succumbs to Heart Failure at Jacksonville, Fla. Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 24.—Henry Watterson, one of the country’s best j known journalists and former owner and publisher of the Louisville (Ky.) i Courier-Journal, died at a local hotel.

—IS HUGHESES DOOMED BELt Point to a Dead* | iock Over the Submarine Dev Question. I FRANCE REJECTS PROPOSAL Japan’s Representative Instantly Ex. presses Opposition, Taking Occasion to Say That Japan Is Not Backing France. ■ Washington, Dec. 29.—Indications that Secretary Hughes’ plan for reduction and limitation of the submarine fleets of the five big powers is doomed to certain failure was further strengthened here. Masanao Hanihara, who instantly expressed Japan’s opposition when Mr. Hughes submitted his proposal Saturday, repeated emphatically that Japan will not accept any reduction below the 54,000 tons of submarines allowed Japan in the original American naval program for the 5-5-3 ratio as between the United States, Great Britain and Japan. Under the new Hughes proposition Japan would have only 31,000 tons. The French delegation received orders from Paris to reject the Hughes proposal. Details of the instructions, which were cabled by Premier Briand ' after a lengthy meeting of the French cabinet, were not made public. American officials regard the situation as haying assumed such a serious 1 aspect‘that they declined to vouchsafe any comment on the probable outcome or the effect upon the conference as a whole. • Mr. Hanihara left no doubt whatever i of Japan’s position. He pointed out । that Japan’s rejection of the Hughes plan on Saturday had been unqualified and that the question had not been re- ■ tee 4 to Tc-yo^ejpt as^j^^al , son ’^d Mr. ant ll a er and family ' lb * Mr - and Mrs. Vm | in South Bend, ite $1.50 I Raymond Key to 3wt - sl.so.Pearse pl ace lat ,ml . cwt.

It was learned authoritatively that Mr. Hughes’ reference in his speech Saturday to a difference of opinion among naval experts with regard to the submarine did not mean a difference among the American experts. They are solidly in favor of a large submarine fleet for the United States. The differences of opinion Mr. Hughes referred to exist in the foreign delegations. Some of the foreign eperts, mainly British, oppose the submarine. It was assumed, it was stated officially, that the report of the advisory committee, which was drafted by a subcommittee headed by Rear Admiral Rogers, member of the navy general board, represented the views of the United States experts. The unanimous indorsement of the report by the civil- | ian members of the advisory committee, including men and women representing every shade of opinion in the country, as stated by Mr. Hughes, also left no doubt as to the people’s attitude in favor of an adequate submarine force. A distinct note of pessimism with regard to the value of the work of the conference thus far was struck by an official spokesman for the Italian delegation. He declared Italy was greatly disappointed over the outcome of the capital ship ratio controversy, whiAi will force upon her the burden of building to main;ain a parity with France, and the Italian delegation was declared to be not very optimistic over the efforts to restrict submarines and other auxiliary craft. As matters now stand, it was plain from the Italian ■ spokesman’s statement, Italy fears that as a result of the conference she will have to spend more money than before. INGERSOLL CO.

EXPLAINING LACK OF DETAIL Youthful Artist Had Excellent Reason for Leaving Out Characters In Her Illustration. A primary class In one of the grade schools was asked to Illustrate a story that had been read to the little ones by the teacher. The story told of three children going to a wood In a goat wagon, and staying until the sun went down. Most of the pictures show’ed the goat with big horns pulling the wagon containing the children, and a sun going down behind a hill. One of the small girls In the class handed In a picture showing merely a hill and some grass. “Why, what does your picture mean?” inquired the teacher. “Where are the goat and the children?" “They have all gone home,” replied Opal. Weighing a Perfume. It was the Italian physicist Salvlonl who devised a microbalance of such extreme delicacy that It clearly demonstrated the loss of weight of musk by volatilization. Thus the Invisible perfume floating off In the air Is indirectly, weighed. The essential part of the apparatus is a very thin thread of glass fixed at one end and extended horizontally. The microscopic objects to be weighed are placed upon the glass thread near Its free end and the amount of flexure produced is observed with a microscope magnifying 100 diameters. A mote weighing one-thousandth of a a milligram perceptibily bends the thread. MOTHER, QUICK!

A young man in Missouri was collecting funds for a benevolent Institution. He tried hard to get a dollar from an old gentleman who was noted for his closeness. When the young man had stated his mission and asked forjthe dollar, the elderly person asked: “Well, young man, how old are you?" “I am twenty-five,” said the youth. “Well,” continued the old gentleman, “I am seventy-five years old, and as you are only twenty-five years, I think that I will get to see the Lord sooner than you. I will hand nim the dollar myself.”—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Dogfish and Shark*. Several varieties of large dogfish and small sharks are found around the British coast. The fox-shark, or thresher, follows the shoals of herrings, pilchards and sprats, destroying great numbers and often doing much damage to nets. It often attains a length of 15 feet, including Its long, narrow tail, which often ex eds In length the remainder of the body. The Greenland shark, which sometimes grows to 26 feet, occasionally strays from arctic waters to the latitudes of Great Britain. The tope is a dogfish common ou the coast of England and Ireland. It Is of a slate-gray color and attains a length of six feet. Another dogfish jla also common. It attains a length of from three to four feeL — Strictly Neutral.

ADOPTED IDEA OF SCHOOLBOY Marconi Quick to Accept Device Used by Pupils to Aid Each Other In Examination. An amusing Instance where wireless telegraphy was used to aid pupils In a class room engaged in an examination Is told by the London News correspondent at Milan, Italy. The story tells of the discovery by Marconi, the wireless wizard, of a perfecting device for his radio appartaus. “Senator Marconi, the famous wireless inventor, has just shown that he is not above learning, even from a schoolboy,” says the writer. “The schoolboy in question, it seems, discovered a novel method of helping other pupils during school examinations by making use of wireless. “Two small pieces of apparatus were constructed, one for the ringleader of the boys, and the other for a well-known professor who was prepared to give suggestions during examinations. “The trick was discovered by the teachers, who noticed an unexpected Improvement In the entire schoolboy community. “The young Inventor was Immediately Invited by Senator Marconi to explain his method, and Marconi perceived at once that the little device contained certain remarkable improvements on the present wireless system. The boy was therefore pro- ' moted to the rank of assistant to the ; inventor." i When Winter Begins. The first of December is generally considered to begin the winter season, but In reality winter does not commence until December 22, the day on which the sun reaches the solstice and turns back for its northward journey. In the northern hemisphere that day is the shortest of the year, In the southern hemisphere the longest, though for a month thereafter there is little perceptible change In the length of the days.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D-, Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JANUARY 8 ELIJAH THE TISHBITE. LESSON TEXT—I Kings 17:1-24. GOLDEN TEXT—But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.—Matt. C;33. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Ex. 16; I Kings 16:29-33; Matt. 6:19-34. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Cares for Elijah. JUNIOR TOPIC — Elijah, the Brave Prophet. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jehovah’s Champion Preserved. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Obeying the Word of Jehovah. I. Elijah’s Message to Ahab (v. 1). This was a startling message, for Ahab had not only led Israel into Idolatry, but into a repudiation of the living God. This condition was not brought on because he married a heathen woman, for he married Jezeliel in order that she might help him complete the apostasy (see ch. 16:31). Note the content of the prophet’s message: 1. “As the Lord God of Israel liveth.” Elijah knew the source of his message. He knew that he represented the living God, therefore had no fear to come into the presence of the king in His name. 2. “Before whom I stand.” Because Elijah stood before God. he could stand before Ahab. His “standing” before God indicates his constant readiness to go on His errands. 3. “There shall not be dew nor rain these years but according to my word." This suspension of moisture continued for three and a half years (Jas. 5:17), and was given in answer to Elijah’s prayer (Jas. 5:17). Drouth was predicted as the punishment for idolatry (Deut. 11:16. 17), and the prophet was now applying the divine judgment. 11. Elijah’s Retirement (vv. 2-16). As soon as he had delivered his message he retired from the king’s sight, while the penalty of the king’s sin should I* visited upon the land. When the famine was sore in the land, the king sought east and west, north and south for Elijah, but God had concealed him. Those who speak God’s message frequently seek solitude when the message is delivered. 1. By the brook Cherith (vv. 2-7). Though we may not be able to know the particular location of the brook, we do know that God afforded a hiding place for His servant who so fearlessly declared His message. (1) Drinking of the brook (vv. 4-6). While drinking of the literal waters of the brook, he was being nourished by the Living Waters from the throne of God. From day to day Elijah's faith was tested as he saw the stream run lower and lower as the drouth continued. (2) Fed by the ravens (vv. 4-6). The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening. Elijah thus enjoyed two meals each day, with water to drink. The same God who sustained Elijah, still lives, and we should trust Him for our daily bread. A* last the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land. The Lord then instructed him to move. 2. At Zarephath (vv. 8-16). (1) The place (v. 9). Zarephath was at the west side of Palestine, near the Mediterranean sea. in Gentile territory. In order to reach this place Elijah had to cross the country from the Jordan to the sea. Zarephath was only a few miles from the home of Jezebel's father. This, no doubt, was a trial Ito Elijah. (2) Sustained by a widow I (vv. 10-12). “Bring a little water and a morsel of bread,** was the ropiest which he made of the widow. This. ' no doubt, was a great trial to her, but God hn«l tourbed her heart and stirred up faith in her. Her reply reveals her deep distress. (3) E'ljah’s reply (▼. 13). This made plain to her that It was a case of mutual interest to do as the Prophet said. "The barrel of meal shall not wns*e; neither shall the cruse of oil fail.” (4) The widow's obedience (v. 15). “She did according to the sayings of Elijah, and she and her house did eat many days.” (5) God keeps His word (v. 16). Maj - we learn from this lesson: 1. The particularity of God's providence. Truly a sparrow shall not fall to the ground without our Father. By the prearrangements of God all our needs are daily met. There is no happen so in God’s providence. The woman of Zarephath, going out to gather sticks to prepare the last meal, met Elijah, and is helped for two years. 2. No matter how small our resources, we can do something for God if we will. The lad with the five barley loaves and the two small fishes, with the blessing of the Lord, did a great work. 3. Our concern should be to work for others and for God before ourselves. We should give our all to God and trust Him for further supply. The best way to help ourselves is to help others. This woman gave one morsel to God’s prophet and obtained a supply for herself and family for two or more years. 4. God often allows us to get down to our very last in order to teach us that all is from Him. 5. God’s dealing with this Gentile woman is a foregleam of His dealing with the Gentile nations. Only Once to Live. We have only once to live; therefore let us live to some purpose. The day that dawned this morning will never dawn again. The opportunities which it brought with it will never come again; and if we fail to fill it with the service it requires of us, there will be no possibility of returning into it to repair the mischief.

The oldest amusement In the world is dice-throwing. In some form or another, dice have existed in every period of history. They are shown on early Egyptian monuments, and some dug up at Thebes recently are exactly similar to those in use today. They are mentioned in laws regulating games I played in ancient Greece and Rome and most other countries in Europe. The invention of dice is attributed to Palamedes. one of the heroes who । sailed against Troy, about the year 1244 B. but the use of cubes with ! numbered sides fur gambling purposes is probably much earlier. Frequent passages in the works of t ancient writers and numerous representations in marble and paintings show bow popular dice-playing was among them. Shaw and the Tourist. George Bernard Shaw recently convulsed an audience by relating a story of a tourist who asked a rustic whether he was on the right track for Stratford-on-Avon. The yokel remained silent. “Come, come.” said the tourist encouragingly. “Stratford — Shakespeare's town —Shakespeare, the famous poet, you know. Surely yon know Shakespeare?” “Yus.” replied the rustic, brightening. “Be you he?" Operations on Old Men. The venerable Dr. Beverley Robinaon, in a letter to the Medical Record (New York), protests against some of the operations which are performed nowadays on elderly persons, whom there is scarcely a chance of saving. Too many of these are done, he says, and the result is only increased discomfort to the patient. Idle Hours With Statisticians.
