Make It Profession by Charg

Their Work
London, Sept. 20.—High railway
fares and the increased expenditure
occasioned by the termination of the
war, has brought out the profes
sional shopper who is finding that
her circle of clients is rapidly widen
ing.
One woman who knows the art of
dress has recently taken up the
work with marked success.
"I have become a professional
shopper," she said, "and the women
in the provinces are beginning to
find me useful. I work for a great
many women who live a long dis
tance from London, some of them in
the far northern counties.
"These women, knowing the
smartest and best things can only
be found in London, and by one
who knows London well, prefer to
employ me to do their shopping
than to make use of a catalog. I
dress entire families. Sometimes
people come to me when they are
in London. At other times they
write, leaving the selection of their
dresses entirely in my hands, and
I send them Just what I know will
suit them. Of course I charge a
commission, but it is infinitely small

money wasted in going to the wrong
shop and buying the wrong mater
ials."
President Wilson
Urges Children to
Join Jr. Red Cross
By Associated Press.
New York, Sept. 20. —A letter
from President Wilson to school
children in New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, urging them to
join the Junior Red Cross, "which
has planned a work for peace times
even larger and more systematic
than the work done during the
war," was made public here by the
American Red Cross. A campaign
for 2,000,000 members is now being i
waged by school children in the j
three states.
The President's letter, after re- |
calling that millions of children i
joined the Junior Red Cross last j
year, and that what they did "is
warmly appreciated by the whole
country," said in closing:
"Your education will not be com
plete unless you learn how to be
good citizens and the Junior Red
Cross plans to teach you simple les- !
sons of citizenship through its or- |
ganization and activities. It is your j
generalton which must carry on the j
work of our generation at home and !
abroad and you cannot begin too j
soon to train your minds and habits
for this responsibility. By doing
what you can to make happier the
people of your own neighborhood,
your state, your country and also
the people of other lands you will
make yourself happier."

TREATY CHANGE
Republicans Have Measure to
Give U. S. Equal Foot
ing With British
By Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 20.—After the
Covenant of the League of Nations,
a part of the German Peace Treaty,
had been read late yesterday in the
Senate, Republican leaders claimed
votes enough to pass, probably next
week, an amendment which would
give the United States equal voting
power with Great Britain in the
League assembly.
While confident the amendment
will be adopted, the Republicans
hold that it would not reopen the
while question of peace and force
the return of the pact to the Peace
Conference at Parts, as President
Wilson and Democratic leaders have
predicted.
There was no session of the Sen
ate to-day, but the fight will open
Monday in earnest, with prospect ol
a vote on the British-American
amendment, by Senator
Johnson, Republican, of California,
by the end of the week. Telegrams
were sent Thursday to Senator
Johnson by Senator Borah, of Idaho,
aljter a conference 'with Senator
Lcalge, chairman of the Foreign Re
lations Committee, in charge of the
Treaty on the floor, and Senator
Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
telegraphed him that he might pro
ceed with his western trip and keep
on raking the League fore and aft,
as he has been doing for the last
ten days.
It was assumed by Republicans
last night that Senator Johnson
would continue his speaking trip.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
leader of the administration fight
for ratification, was as steadfast as
heretofore, however, in the belief
that all amendments would be re
jected. Democrats made no attempt
to disguise the feeling of elation
that their cause was in good shape,
citing the hurry call sent to Senator
Johnson as evidence of doubt in
the opposition camp. It was while
they were still discussing this phase
of the situation that word reached
them of the Lodge and Knox mes
sage to Johnson to stay on the trail
of the President in the west.
Retail Food Prices
Reached the Highest
Level Last Month
Washington, Sept. 20. Retail
prices of food increased one per cent,
in August as compared with July
and reached the highest point in the
nation's history, despite the Gov
ernment's campaign to reduce the
cost of living.
'Hie exact increase probably
already apparent to the consumer—
was revealed when the Department
of Labor's bureau of labor statistics
made public its monthly report.
The foodstuffs increasing in price
were eggs, rice, potatoes, milk, pork
chops, butter, cheese, coffee, dry
beans, sugar and bread. Prices de
clined for sirloin and round steak,
rib and chuck roasts, onions, bacon,
flour, cabbage and canned peas,
corn, beans and tomatoes.
Clamor in Senate Swells
For Probe on Palmer Deals
Washington, D. C„ Sept. 20. If
25 per cent, of the charges made
against the Alien Property Cus
todian's office are true, there should
be an investigation, Senator Calder,
of New York, told the Senate in urg
ing adoption of his resolution calling
for an inquiry into A. Mitchell Pal
mer's administration of the trust
fund on former German-owned
property.
Although Senator Underwood, of!
Alabama, made a vigorous defense of
Mr. Palmer's operations, and term
ed attacks on the Alien Property
Custodian's office a part of the Ger
man Government's effort to break
down the status of the office, other
Senators expressed belief that an in
vestigation should be made.
Stones^QZ"^
The Nome King
When Ozma cried out in her Im
perilous demand that the Nome
King appear, there was no reply,
.except that the shifting Nomes up.
on the mountain laughed in derision.
"You must not command the
Nome King," said Tigtog, "for you
do not rule him, as you do your
own peo-ple."
So Ozma called again, saying:
"I request the Nome King to ap
pear to us."
Only the mocking laughter replied
to her, and the showdy Nomes con
tinued to flit here and there upon
the rocky cliff.
"Try en-treat-y" said Tiktok to
Ozma. "If he will not come at your
re-quest, then the Nome King may
lis-ten to your pleading."
Ozma looked around her proudly.
"Do you wish your ruler to plead
with this wicked Nome King?" she,
asked. "Shall Ozma of Oz humble
herself to a creature who lives in
an underground kingdom?"
"No!" they all shouted, with big
voices: and the Scarecrow added.
"If he will not come, we will dig
him out of his hole, like a fox, and
conquer his stubbornness. But our
sweet little ruler must always main
tain her dignity. Just as I maintain
mine."
"!D'm not afraid to plead with
him," said Dorothy. I'm only a little
girl from Kansas, and we've got
more dignity at home than we know
what to do with. I'll call the Nome
Kink."
"Do," said the Hungry Tiger; "and
if he makes hash of you I'll willing
ly eat you for breakfast to-mor
row morning."
So Dorothy stepped forward and
said:
"Please Mr. Nome King come here
and seq us."
The Nomes started to laugh again;
but a low growl came from the
mountain, and in a flash they had
all vanished from sight and wero
silent.
Then a door in the rock opened,
and a voice cried:
"Enter!"
"Isn't it a trick?" asked the Tin
Woodman.
"Never mind," replied Ozma. "We
came here to rescue the poor Queen
of Ev and her ten children, and we
must run some risks to do so."
"The Nome King is hon-est and
good na-tured," said Tiktok. "You
can trust him to do what is right."
So Ozma led the way, hand in
hand with Dorothy, and they pass
ed through the arched doorway of
rock and entered a long passage
which was lighted by Jewels set in
the walls and having lamps behind
them. There was not one to escort
them or to show them the way, but
all the party passed through the
passage until they came to a round,
domed cavern that was grandly
furnished.
In the center of this room was
a throne carved out of a solid boul
der of rock, rude and rugged in
shape but glittering with great rubles
and diamonds and emeralds on eveiy
part of its surface. And upon the
throne sat the Nome King.
This important monarch of the
Underground World was a little fat
man clothed in gray-brown garments
that were the exact color of the
rock throne in which he was seated.
His bushy hair and flowing beard
were also colored like the rocks, and
so was his face. He wore no crown
of any sort, and his only ornament
was a broad, Jewel-studded belt that
encircled his fat body. As for his
features, they seamed kindly and
SAYS LEAGUE FRAMERS
FOLLOWED ADVICE OF
REPUBLICAN STATESMEN
San Diego, Cal., Sept. 20. An
extract from a magazine article
written in 1914 by Theodore Roose
velt was read by President Wilson
in an address here to-day as an ar
gument in favor of the League of
Nations.
Speaking to a cheering crowd
which filled the great San Diego
Stadium, the President also quoted
from Senator Lodge, one of the most
bitter opponents of the Treaty in
its present form, and declared that
in framing the League Covenant, the
Versailles conference had followed
the advice of these and other Re
publican statesmen.
"I am glad to align myself with
such utterances," said Mr. Wilson,
while the crowd cheered. "Here In
concrete form is the fulfillment of
the plan they advocated."
Tjie address was interrupted many
times by applause from the crowd,
which local officials estimated at
more than 50,000. The great am
phitheater with its seating capacity
of 40,000, was packed, thousands
standing in the aisles and on the
terraces above.
Spoke From Glass Cage
Speaking from a glass enclosed
platform, the President's words were
carried out to the distant rims of
the stadium by means of an electrical
device. Only part of those present
could hear him, however, and before
he finished there were many empty
seats.
The President also discussed at
length the objection that the British
empire might have a preponderance
of voting power in the League as
sembly. It was a "delusion" to be
frightened at any such prospect, he
said, because there could be no im
portant action by the assembly with
out the concurrence of the American
representative.
The assembly, asserted Mr. Wilson,
was largely a debating body, and as
such it was only fair to give mem
bership to the British colonies. It
Wasson to Demand
His Name on Ballots
in November Election
3y Associated Press•
Pittsburgh, Sept. 20. Judge
Henry Wasson, of the Common Pleas
Court, will demand of the Secretary
of the Commonwealth that his name
be placed on the ballots in the No
vember election. The judge made
this announcement here following
J a conferenoe with friends and ac
quaintances of the bar.
Judge Wasson in the recent prim
ary election did not secure enough
votes to place him among the five
nominees. In case action is denied,
he said, he will take the case to the
Dauphin County Court, as the law
directs. If the decision is unfav
orable there, uctlon will be started
in the Supreme Court
good humored, and his eyes were
turned merrily upon his visitors as
Ozma and Dorothy stood before him
with their followers ranged in close
order behind them.
"Why, he looks just like Santa
Claus—only he isn't the same color!"
whispered Dorothy to her friend;
but the Nome King heard the
"They Belong To Me and I Shall Keep Them"
speech, and it made him laugh I words.
aloud. .v ..... _
'He had a red face and a round
little belly
That shook when he laughed like
a bowl full of Jelly!' "
quote the monarch, in a pleasant
voice; and they could all see that
he really did shake like jelly when
he laughed.
Both Ozma and Dorothy wero
much relieved to find the Nome
King so jolly, and a minute later
he waved his right hand and the
girls each found a cushioned stool
at her side.
"Sit down, my dears," said the
King, "and tell me why you have
come, all this way to see me, and
what I can do to make you happy."
While they seated themselves the
Nome King picked up a pipe, and
would be unjust, he said, to give
votes to the small independent na
tions and exclude such great domin
ions as Canada.
Declaring the people had not been
told the truth about what the Treaty
contained. Mr. Wilson added, while
the crowd cheered, again, that if
the American public did know the
truth, no man would have the au
dacity to take the risk of trying to
impair such an effort toward lib
erty and justice.
No Treaty Without League
Praising the labor and self de
termination' features of the Treaty,
the President declared that, with
out the League of Nations, the other
peace terms would not be worth the
paper they were written on. It was
a "final decision," which the United
States now must make, he added.
Some of the qhanges proposed
in the Treaty, the President said,
seemed to have it as their object
to upset the theory of equality
among the nations and put the
United States in a special position
of privilege. He declared that to go
into the League without assuming
an equal responsibility would be a
"mockery."
"I will not join," he said, "in
claiming in the name of justice an
unjust position for the country I
love and cherish. Neither am I
afraid of responsibility. Neither will
I scuttle. I will not be a party to
belittling America."
Emphasizing the arbitration fea
ture of the Covenant, the President
said an example of the efficiency
of discussion was shown in labor
controversies. He asserted that
whenever either side to such a con
troversy refused to discuss its case
tho presumption was that it was on
the wrong side.
It would be the "death warrant"
of the children of the country, de
clared the President, should the
League fail.
Rumanians Loot
Hungarian Towns;
Take R. R. Equipment
Budapest, Sept. 20. The situa
tion here is growing more critical.
As the Rumanians withdraw they
continue to requisition railway equip
ment of all kinds. It is stated in
Hungarian quarters that the food in
Budapest is insufficient to care for
the needs of the people.
Not only have the Rumanians
failed to arm the Hungarian policy
as they were requested and prom
ised to do, but they have looted the
police equipment and arrested the
policemen. The telephone equipment
has been removed from the Min
isterial Offices, so in case of disturb
ances the situation will be aggra

taking a glowing red coal out of hisi
pocket he placed it in the bowl of I
tho pipe and began puffing out
clouds of smoke that curled in rings
above his head. Dorothy thought
this made the little monarch look
more like Santa Claus than ever;
but Ozma now began speaking, and
everyone listened Intently to her
"Your Majesty," said she, "I am
the ruler of the Land of Oz, and
I have come here to ask you to re
lease the good Queen of Ev and her
ten children, whom you have en
hanced and hold as your prisoners."
"Oh, no; you are mistaken about
that," replied the King. "They aro
not my prisoners, but my slaves,
whom I purchased from the King
of Ev."
"But that was wrong," said
Ozma.
"According to the laws of Ev, the
king can do no wrong," answered
the monarch, eyeing a ring of smoke
he had Just blown from his mouth,
"so that he had a perfect right to
sell his family to me in exchange
for a long life."
"You cheated him, though," de
clared Dorothy, "for the King of Ev
did not have a long life. He jump-
Army Sells Autos
Long Exposed to Weather
at Cost of Tires
Baltimore, Sept. 20. Sixty-two
of the 11,000 touring care, trucks,
motorcycles and other machines in
Camp Holablrd, the bad condition
of which, owing to being left in the
open for so long, was the cause of
a Congressional investigation, were
sold at auction. The sale realized
$25,000 for the Government. Some
of the machines went for less than
their nearly new tires cost. Most
of the machines, having been ex
posed to all kinds of weather for
months, were in a very poor condi
tion. Some were minus tires,
wheels and engines, while many of
them only consisted of the bodies,
and these were in bad shape. Fully
2,000 men attended the sale. The
terms of the sale was a deposit of
$2O on a sale of less than $2OO and
$5O for a sale exceeding that amount.
The first bid was on a summer
touring car and was for only $5.
This car eventually sold for $l3O to
a second-hand dealer. The lowest
bid was $25 on a Ford summer
chassis, minus wheels, tires and en
gine. The highest bid was $650 for
a limousine, which was bought by a
local dealer. The average bids, how
ever, ran around $l5O, but there
were a few cars that were sold for
$3OO, $440 and $5OO.
According to an Army ruling all
cars must be removed at the end of
forty-eight hours, and if they are
not taken away by that time the
Army guard will be withdrawn from
the vicinity of the roadside, where
the cars are now parked, and any
one coming along can help himself
to them.

Ed into the sea and was drowned."
"That was not my fault," said the
Nome King, crossing his legs and
smiling contentedly. "X gave hiin
the long life, all right; but he de
stroyed it."
"Then how could it be a long
life?" asked Dorothy.
"Easily enough," was the reply.
"Now suppose, my dear, that I gave
you a pretty doll in exchange for a
lock of your hair, and that after
you had received the doll you smash
ed it into pieces and destroyed it.
Could you say that I had not given
you a pretty doll?"
"No," answered Dorothy.
"And could you, in fairness, ask
me to return to you the lock of hair,
just because you had smashed the
doll?"
"No," said Dorothy, again.
"Of course not," the Nome King
returned. "Nor will I give up the
Queen and her children because the
King of Ev destroyed his long life
by jumping into the sea. They be
long to me and I shall keep them."
"But you aro treating them cruel
ly," said Ozma, who was much dis
tressed by the King's refusal.
"In what way?" he asked.
"By making them your slaves,"
said she.
"Cruelty," remarked tho monarch,
puffing out wreaths of smoke and
watching them float into the air,
"is a thing I can't abide. So, as
slaves must work hard, •. 1 the
Queen of Ev and her were
delicate and tender, I translcrmeri
them all into articles of ornament
and bric-a-brac and scattered them
around the various rooms of my
palace. Instead of being obliged 10
labor, they merely decorate my
apartments, and I really think I have
treated them with great kindness,"
"But what a dreadful late is
theirs!" exclaimed Ozma, ea neatly.
"And the Kingdom if Ev is 'n great
need of its royal family to govern
it. If you will liberate them, and re
store them to their proper forms, I
will give you ten ornaments to re
place each one you lose."
The Nome King looked grave.
"Suppose I refuse?" he asked.
"Then," said Ozma, firmly, "I
am here with my friends and my
army to conquer your kingdom and
oblige you to obey my wishes."
The Nome King laughed until he
choked; and he coughed until his
face turned from grayish-brown to
bright red. And then he wiped his
eyes with a rock-colored handker
chief and grew grave again.
"You are as brave as you are
pretty, my dear," he said to Ozma.
"But you have little idea pf the ex
tent of the task you have under
taken. Come with me for a mo
ment."
He rose and took Ozma's hand,
leading her to a little door at one
side of the room. This he opened
and they stepped out upon a balcony,
from whence they obtained a won
derful view of the Underground
World.
A vast cave extended for miles
and miles under the mountain, and
in every ■ direction were furnaces
and forges glowing brightly and
Nomes hammering upon precious I
metals or polishing gleaming jewels.
All around the walls of the cavo
were thousands of doors of silver and
gold, built into the solid rock, and
these extended in rows far away in
to the distance, as far as Ozma's
eyes could follow them.

the Nome King uttered a shrill
whistle and gold doors flew open
and ranks of Nome soldiers march
ed out from every one. So great
were their numbers that they quick
ly filled the immense under-ground
cavern and forced the busy workmen
to abandon their tasks.
Although this tremendous army
consisted of rock-colored Nomes, all
squat and fat, they were clothed in
glittering armor of polished steel,
inlaid with beautiful gems. Upon his
brow each wore a brilliant electric
light, and they bore sharp spears

bronze. It was evident they were
perfectly trained, for they stood in
straight rows, rank after rank, with
their weapons held erect and true,
as if awaiting but the word of com
mand to level them upon thlr foes.
