Es
COST OF PEACE COMMISSION.
President Wilson has asked Con-
gress for an additional appropriation
of $825,000 for the expenses of the
American peace commission in Paris
from last July 1 to the end of this
calendar year.
The President said that up to July
1 the total cost for the commission
had been $1,250,629, and he estimated
by the end of the year the total would
reach $1,506,706. A part of this has
been appropriated heretofore.
Among the largest items up to July
1 were included $144,914 for subsis-
tence; $103,000 for salaries, $105,000
for expenses of the commissions sent
into other countries.
In transmitting a detailed account
of the expenses, the President said
that in view of the 200 per cent. in-
crease in prices in Paris as the result
of the war he considered the expenses
of the American commission “very
modest.” When it began its work in
Paris, the American delegation, the
President said, consisted of 1300 per-
sons, but on July 1 this number had
been reduced to 400, of whom only 88
were civilians.
President Wilson called attention to
the fact that no action had been taken
on the State Department’s request for
an additional appropriation of $5,000,-
000 for its current expenses, and said
that as a result the Department had
found it necessary to draw on its
emergency fund. He asked that the
$5,000,000 appropriation be made.
The itemized list of expenses sub-
mitted by the President was as fol-
lows:

A Convention of Women.
During the week of April 18, 1920,
Westminster Abbey will open its
doors for the first time to a conven-
tion of women.
“The mothers of the world are rep-
resented in the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union and those affiliated
with the organization are to be the
guests of the National British W. C.
T. U. from April 18 to 23,” says an
announcement from a publicity office
of the W. C. T. U. “Lady Carlyle will
greet the delegates and thousands of
them are expected.”
April 18 will be called the World’s
Convention Sunday. Prayers will be
scheduled throughout the world by
the W. C. T. U. and the meeting in
Westminster Abbey will be held, with
the Bishop of Croyden as chief offi-
ciary.
The Bishop of Willisten and the.
Bishop of Woolwich will preach, and
several others of the noted British
clergy will have a part in the service.
The Bishop of London will speak in
St. Paul’s Cathedral at the end of the
convention week.
On April 21, 22 and 23 the conven-
tion will meet in the Central Hall.
Westminster Abbey, and the British
hostesses have equipped a large tea-
room in the building, where 1000 per-
sons can be served.
A widely representative World's
Convention committee has been ap-
pointed, including representatives
from several of the national associa-
tions. The hospitality committee is
headed by Miss Foster Newton.
Politics will have a part in the gath-
ering, for, inasmuch as the women as-
sembled will represent every country
in the world, there is no doubt that
the League of Nations will be one of
the chief topics. Miss Anna A. Gor-
don, national W. C. T. U. president,
will head the group of American del-
egates at this historic meeting.

Candidate Miller Appeals
Voters.
Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 1, 1919.
To the Citizens of Centre County:
You are no doubt aware that I am
a candidate for re-election for Coun-
ty Commissioner. Since it is custom-
ary for a faithful public servant to
be elected to a second term I have, at
the earnest solicitation of my friends,
entered the race for a second term.
My record is an open book; scan it
carefully and act as your conscience
dictates under existing circumstances.
I believe I am entitled to a second
term but I am in the hands of my
friends. Anything you can do to fur-
ther my interests will be greatly ap-
preciated.
Remember that I am not condemn-
ing or denouncing any of my rivals.
I am simply working for ISAAC
MILLER in a square, legitimate way.
Thanking you in advance for any-
thing you can do to further my ambi-
tion, I am,
to the
Cordially,
ISAAC MILLER.
Known as Laziest of Birds.
The laziest of birds is the frog-
mouth. He sleeps all day, and at
night, instead of flying about in search
of food, he sits on a limb and literally
waits for the insects to come and feed
him. He is such a sound sleeper that
you can push him off his perch with
a stick and not wake him. He inhab-
its Australia and the islands of the
Indian ocean. In size the frogmouth
resembles the whippoorwill, and gets
his name from his wide mouth, which
serves as his insect trap. Too lazy
to fly for his food, like other birds, he
crawls along the limb of a tree, open-
ing his wide mouth and snapping it
shut, catching what flies and gnats
come within his range. At night he
perches with his mate on the roofs of
houses, on fences, or stumps. Only
after the sun goes down does he show
any inclination to move about.

Petroleum in Mexican Lake.
For hundreds of years Mexican In-
dians had a horror of what they called
the pest spot of Lake Chapala, near
the shore at Tizapan. They would not
bathe in it or sail around it, declaring
that the water was oily. Then, after
a time, they cautiously began to paint
wooden boats with this oil, which
proved so effective in keeping out the
water that it became the general cus-
tom to use it. They did not know that
this wag petroleum gushing up through
the water—a magnificent flow, about
two miles out in the lake, which to
this day gushes apparently without
varying. When the water is low
petroleum floats in solid masses, each
large globule weighing about %U5
pounds.
——They are all good enough, but
the “Watchman” is always the best.
