The revolt of the Int-ned prisoners
Is attributed In Sinn Tcn quarters te
alleged fll treatment of the men. Con

Bnntry Bay nre declared te be eren
werse than at Spike Islnnd. The Dell
Eireenn representatives Indicate their
expectation, however, fhnt the work of
the Joint commission appointed te ex
amine into conditions will remove the
grounds for complaint.
IjoeAoq, Oct 18. By A. V.) The1
conference between Irish lenders and I
representatives of the British Govern- '
mant will, It Is expected '.n Sinn Fein I
auarteri. be resumed Thursdav. Th
litorruptien yesterday was sold te be
due eelely te the engagements of Lloyd
Geerge, the Trime Minister, in con-
nwttrm with flip reenpnlncr nf Pnrlln-
xnent. Meanwhile, th committee of the ,
conference, compose of the ether mem
bers, will held sessions for the ad
vancement of the conference's work.
Several Irish experts have been sum
moned te Londen te advise the Sinn
Fein delegates and draw up reports for
the consideration of the conference.
Among the most notable of these is
Lionel Smith -Gorden, a leading au
thority en rural reconstruction.
Mr. Smith-Gorden formerly wn chief
easJstant te Sir Herace I'lnnkett in
the agricultural co-operative mevemen'.
He left this movement te found, tn
conjunction with Erskine Clilders and
Rebert Barten, the National Land Bank
for the employment of Ir'eh money In
Ireland. He li heir te a British bar
onetcy and his wife 1b the daughter of
United States Senater Fletclwr, of
Flerida. The bank which he helped
found was frequently raided by the
crown forces In the days befere the
truce.
The concentration of republican
troops In Fitter, alleged ns the ground
for remeblllztng the Ulster Volunteers,
Is denied by Sinn Fein hcadmmrters
here. It Is declared there that the Sinn
Fein contingents In ("Inter nre smaller
than In any ether part of the country,
al' heugh substantial forces are located
In thu nrca of the six counties.
Belfast, Oct. IS. (By A. l'.i Be
ports that the Ulster volunteer force
was being reorganized were verified in
official quarters here today. It was
ftated that Ulster ax -service men were
enrolling.
"Why shouldn't they, when the Sinn
Feiners are drilling, even 'n Itelfast?"
was the comment In official quarters.
Colonel Spender, who formerly com
manded the Ulster volunteers, reigned
en assuming tbe secretaryship of tl
Ulster Cabinet, but the view was ex
pressed that the officering of the force
would present no trouble.
The belief is generally eipresel herf
that no difficulty will be found tn re
viving the volunteers In the Belfast
area. The Ulster Rx-Scrvice Men's
Association, nearly all of whose mem
bers were volunteers In the pre-war
days. Is constituted en strictly party
lines, no Republicans or Natiennlli-ts
being eligible. The members of this
association are the strongest supporters
of the antl boycott movement. At Lis
burn 'ast niht 1000 of them assembled,
and, under commandants who are e.
effieers of the British army, marched in
formation along a specified reute. The
men camed no arms during their
march, although they were well
equipped in this respect.
Dublin, Oct. 18 (By A. P. The
AU-Ireland Industrial Conference

claring that In the proposed treaty with
Great Britain full fiscal freedom for Ire
land was n fundamental and essential
condition, and that full control of all

Messages from General Pershing and
Premier Briand of France, sent from
the Bolln laboratories in Paris, were

The Instruments by which the re

these by which photographs have been
transmitted by telegraph In the United
States. Following the photograph ex
periments Prof. Belln went te France
and perfected the machine se that it
could be used for the transmission of
handwriting by wireless.
The BeHnegraph has become n fca

'ten messages or pictures drawn in line
is simpler tnan inns ier rccuiviug imu imu
tegraphs by wireless, M. Belln has been
devoting his time te perfecting this. De
termined te give it the most thorough
test pesstble, he sent two of his assist
ants, MM, Jehannet and Teuly, te
America te try te send drawing by
wireless across the Atlantic.
The first experiments were made with
the reception of spiral lines of varying
sizes. Fair success was had with tkoee,
In spite of the fact that accumulators
were lacking and only one, borrowed
from an automobile, was available.
In Paris the World's correspondent
was in constant touch with M. Belln's
laboratory at Malmalsen, nnd as seen
as he learned that the conditions were
geed he asked Premier Briand nnd Gen
oral Pershing te write messages which
could be transmitted through the air,
without wires, across the Atlantic.
Premier Briand sat in his office at the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs en the Qual

"Je me rejeuls a la penee d'allcr a

means, "I nm delighted at the thought

The Weaver of Words
Back in the days when the world was born, and coal mines sought
the sun as fragrant waving jungles; when bat-winged viper3 many cubits
high dwarfed the mighty mastodon, Man knew net Meney but did
understand Purchase.
Stene hatchets would receive their meade of Furs in the barter of
the day the glinting pebbles, the daubs of clay and all the glittering
gayeties nature furnished were haggled ever and he of the quicker
mind and convincing tongue would amass his cavefuls of needs before
the rest.
OAr TO the age in which chiseled hieroglyphics made stones eloquent
Words Words, better melded, arranged, spoken and inscribed
betokened exceeding power in the deeds of Purchase.
And e it was when wandering merchants of an era in which
shekels passed from hand te palm in payment of edibles, and covering
and shelter, the shrewdest of Sheiks would take with him a magic spell
binder one who with Words could best paint the glories of his wares
all te his enrichment.
There in the market places would I St Weaver of Words exercise
his magic. Se it was that the stylus came into use as a welder of Man's
thoughts and argosies spread eager soils bearing the burden ei
countries' commerce all through the sound force of papyri emblazoned
with clear expositions by men who melded Words.
.D from the stylus te the miracle ej the press what a span! what
a myriad of marvels flourished full-peivcred, through the stimulus of
ideas developed, nurtured and given scope by Weavers of the inspiring
Werd.
This day has come overwhelmingly swift it is here in all the
panoply of revivifying merit bearing with it printed market places that
held their millions upon millions in anxious thrall te sound logic of sales
compelling messages.
And te you merchants who would that multitudes throng your
caravanserais te purchase, who would wish the tide of ware-seekers te
bear along the fruits of your looms, te you is extended sincere counsel
Get unto yourselves a Weaver of Words such an one who can and
for you will thread the shuttle of his fancies with the worth of your own
merchandise. And that his paean of sales-praise be far from faint, glorify
his thought with the melody of surpassing values, enrich his lyre with
the woof of honest substances and in that he preaches Truth, he can
create for you a veritable temple of Goodwill, within whose confines
forever shall flourish the Success of your own home.

the Rules Commlttee makes' It appear
that Colonel Simmons lids by no means
succeeded In wiping out the charges
made against his organization by the
manner In Which he answered the ques
tions showered en him during his long
cross-cxanilnntlen,
"I have been In Congress a long
time," said the member, "and I den t
remember another witness who made
se much parade and vouchsafed se lit lit
tle real Information."
"Somceno Else Did It"
The Imperial Wizard wes questioned
with special Insistence about Ku Klux
finnnccs and Ku Klux responsibility for
lawlessness, terrorism and fomentation
of racial or religious hatredB. Time
nftcr time he disclaimed, en the ground
of Illness or absence from Atlanta,
knowledge of acts or Incidents.
"Somceno else did It, if it was done,"
was a recurrent nnswer, and once, en
the question of Klan finances, he ro re
pudlutcd a statement prcpnred in his
own offices by the Klan bookkeeper and
put into the record last week as an ex
hibit by himself.
This exhibit showed that prier te
June 1, 1020 the date when the Klan's
business contract with the Clarke-Tyler
partnership was mode the total income
of this organization in five years had
been 151.083.72, obtained principally
from the donations of 15,000 members,
who passed the invlsible portals at the
rate of $10 apiece. The question was
raised what had beceme of this money,
for the disbursement of which the Im

HOUSEWIFE social leader
or business girl every
woman feels the exhaustive
demands which modern life

One of the worst evils of mod

with answering the empleye must have
