- PortableGasHeaters . ». To Warm Those “Cold” Rooms in Your Home As an auxiliary to your regular heating plant, you need just such a heating device for a few minutes or hours every, night and morning. This heater burns gas, the cheapest and cleanest of all fuels—it sits in one corner or up against the wall and takes up little room—it’s built on handsome but durable lines and will last a lifetime. Other styles also are here. SRELIABLEY | ,Hofinougs,nzxrzfisr Various Sizes $5.50—8$6.50—87 RAY-GLO the PERFECT GAS FIRE The medical profession unani- mously endorse this type of heater. The heat waves that radiate into the room are identical to thcse pro- duced by a piece of red-hot iron or the old-fashioned coat fire when the coals are a bright red. Consequently the room is not heated directly by the gas flame, but by the heat from the Radiants. Call for demonstration.

FOR ALLIES' DEB Senator Frénce Urges- Sub- stitute for Bonus to Iformer Service Men. the United States by transferring the former German colonies and cablcs now held by them to the ownership of the UnitedStates was made In the Senate yesterday by Senator France of Mary- land, republican. Senator France said that there was no prospect of the European nations being able to liquidate their debts to the United States under conditions 38 they exist in the woxld today. He urged that his plan would relieve the. situation to a very great extent. “These colonies,” sald ~ Senator France, “constitute a vast empire of natural wealth, of boundless op- portunity, out of which could be paid the bonus which is being urged for the recognition of the services of our heroes in war. Here in these territories are gold, copper, tin, cof- fee, rubber, diamonds, petroleum and priceloss other resources, as well as extensive territories for homestead settlement and for the extension of American commerce. The cables would provide direct and unmolested communication for the government and American merchants, for commer- cial and news agencies, to reach the most distant portions of the world in a prompt and profitable manner. “Unless some way can be found to liquidate Europe's debt to us, so Eu- rope can buy from us, our business cannot revive, the exchange situation cannot be cured, the budgets of Eu- ropean countries cannot be hrougm to balance, and the shortage of food, riw products, and manufactur:d goods in Europe will cause acute distress, dis- turbances, and a further disintegra- tion of the social and economic struc- ture of the world. Food Supply Threatened. “Few seem to realize that a world- wide shortage of food is imminent if we do not restere the vigorous flow of commodities in the arteries of in- ternational :ommerce. “Millions in Russia are famishing, millions of Germans are suffering slow starvation, and there is undernourish- ment or starvation in other lands. Forty millions of people who live in the_ in- dustrial countries must depend for food on exports from Russia and the United States. The strike in Germany, the re- sult of hunger, must grow to serious disturbances unless Germany can im- port food. “It would be perilous for us now to 616-17 ST.

Favors International Conference. »I woyld have the President call an international conference and pr this plan to liquidate the debts, to our resources, increase the income of the world, and extend, un- der the leadership of America, the great missionary nation. the bound- aries of civilization. ‘The German indemnity should be fixed at about fifteen billions of dollars and on this Germany must be given credit for three to five billion dollars for the former German cables and colonies transferred by Germany to the allied powers, and these powers should then transfer thede cables and colonies to the United States in payment of their debts, and then there should be adopted a great international plan under which the nations would co- operate for the better organization, education, evangelization, and civili- zation of the peoples of the yet dark continent of Africa. “The former German colonies of Africa are in area one-third of the United States. Great wealth is there. Our soldiers could fing great oppor- tunities there. “With the liquidation of the debts in this manner prosperity would re- turn, and the bonus and other prob- lems could be solved in such a way as to advance the interest of all Americans.” —_— BETHROTHAL CELEBRATED T, February 20.—The ceremony the betrothal of King i Alexander_of Jugoslavia and Princess Marie of Rumania was celebrated at the Corocend Palace this afternoon.
