Foreign vessels which enter the ‘three-mile limit after Oct. 14 will also be cubject to forfeiture seizure. American ships now in foreign ports. which sale for America before October 14th, will be ®xempt, but those sailing after that date are liable to confiscation if' liquor is found aboard, the Mellon ruling will - hold. South Hampton, Eng., Oct. 11— The ‘White. Star liner Homeric sailed for New York today with its custom- ary stock of liquor for the use of the passengers. The arrival of the Homeric within the American three-mile limit will , probably furnish the first test of the U.

(By United Press) New York, Oct. 11—To the scver- ed human head and mangled torso (-parts of the corpus delicti in a New York butcher murder, were added today the left arm and left leg of the still unidentified victim. The murderer of the man, whose body was hacked to pieces and is being placed part by part on dark nights in various districts of the Bronx to be discovered and brought to the so far baffled police, may have gone too far this time, detec- tives working on the case declared: "By some finger prints taken from the partly withered hands, the au- thorities hoped to indentify the vie- tim and trace the perpetrators of one of the most fiendish crimes in police history, recalling the ghastly Seine murder that startled Paris. In the Paris murder, various parts of the rude and once beautiful body of a French girl were scattered up and down the River Seine. The head was never recovered and the murder nev- er solved.

The final meet- ing of the Mudania conference lasted only ten minutes. Journalists were called into the.room when allied gen- erals and Ismet Pasha, representa- tive of the Turkish Nationalists, af- fixed their signatures to the protocol.

People should eat more potatoes — for good health’s sake, for lower liv- ing costs, for their own good and the good of the northwest, Today, in the northwest, potatoes are plentiful. They can be purchased at low cost. 1 believe it is sound advice for us to largely increase our use of potatoes not only at the pres- ent time but consistently and con- tinually in the future. If the consumption of the potatoes in the world were quadrupled, the result would be saving of thousands of lives annually, and a comparitively less amount of suffering. The cost of living, would be materially re- duced, and everyone would be hap- pier. ’ The potato, the world’s greatest and most beneficial food crop, is comparitively little known the world over and still less appreciated. It is a_remarkable product of the seil. The known production reaches the enormous quantity, of five billion bushels. In its wild state, it grows in the region of the Rocky Mountains, and in South America, in the Andes Mountaing. The exact early date of its intro- duction into Spain and Italy from Peru is not known.
