It all started over the arrest of a 16 vear old New Jersey boy in New York state for operating an auto. In New Jersey a license s issued to persons of that age but sach is not the case in New York whers the age limit is higher. That he was arrested never- theless aroused resentment on the part of New Jersey officlals and not a few from New York were treated likewise hecause they failed to have their car license and the operaior's llcense.

Congress compieted its action on the coffipromisé feasure on Friday and the présidént gave his d@pproval when it was handed to him on a holiday vacation Saturday.

With the establishment of peace théré rémains however the arrange- ment of a treaty between the mations. the way for negotiations for that how- ever is now opened and it is to be ex- pected that they will proceed apace. Just what the proceeding will be is un- certain, but Germahy has indicated its confidence in this country, and while it would have been possible for the president to have undertaken such ac- tion before this, the fact that there is a better understanding between Ger- many and the allies Should make it possible to carry on such negotiations without having any effect directly or inditectly thereon. Such might not fhiave ‘been the cass had it been under- taken hefore Germany had agreed to meet its indemnity requirements. Ending a war by a peacé resolution is an unusual proceeding but it has been forced by the unusual situation created by the league of uations to which this coutitry is strongly opposed and ‘n which it i unwilling to participate. Wa have theréfore declared that the war is at an end. that the remaining war laws are terminated and it is probable that through such treaty arrangement as we make there Will e preserved any and all the advantages which would have beéh gained under the Versafiles treaty. A VISIT WITHOUT PROMISE. After having been opposed by soviet mihister, Senator ' France of Matylarid through the efforts of an- other manages to get within the bord- ers of Soviet Russia and Is probably how at Moscow. He went to Russia to find out the real conditions there in of- dér to confirm hls own views and fo speed up trade rdlations betweer| the countries. But just what he is golni to accemplish s hard to under- stand. He hag been admitted has been_faced With o many restrictions that it is evident he is not going to get ny viéw of conditons In Russia such as he desires.

How welcome he is there 1s indicated by the firm command that he must have nothing to say In regard to the American prisoners in that coun- trw That he succeeded after his first re- buff it seems I'kely to he due to the fact that he is regarded a& one who Is mors Iess favorably impressed by the soviét government, and that there fa a feeling that he Will be able to bs of #ome assistance thereto. This Is to he L& ed from the fact that his entry is due to the efforts of the minister of trade.

PAINTED FLOORS Painted floors, while not so diffieult to finish as stained and varnished hard- wood floors, are not serviceable, and, in fact, are Suitable only for bedroom floors. In painting a floor all knots should figst be well shellacked, cracks filled and the whfole made as smooth as possible. Two coats of good fioor paint may be left as finished or followed by a coat of var- nish according to the efféct désired. Wat- er must not be uséd on a painted floor, as it opens the pores of the wood, re- moves finish and permits the wood to absorb dust and dirt more ésily, Health and Beauty The pain of a burn of scald can almost instantly relieved by the use bicarbonate of soda.

Therefore to safesuard your indigestion the blood should be kept rich and ffee ftom impurities. Flowers Decorate No table is complete without flowers, be it the breakfast, luncheon, tea or dinner table. Even field flowers gath- ered from the roadside are acceptable if they are nicely arranged. Vioiets mingled with their own green leaves, arbutus in flat dishes, spreading bouquets of dogwood, mountain laurel and wild azalea, daisies, red and pink clover, buttercups, goidentod and saters —as the seasons change there are lovely flowers for the table to be had fof the picking from spring to fall. Sumimer Parasols Never have sunshades been so ornate. One of a bright ross hue which is on display for summer wear, was made of shirred silk, the shirring being held in place where the silk is attached to the rib. Another had an overdrape much as the skirts are draped. Many of the new varasols are shown in the new jase green, which promises to be used much this summer, a welcome ncte, since green always appears cool and refreshing. ‘Summer Housekeeping ‘Whether one Is_furnishing a kitchen in A summer cottage to rent or for one- self or only filling in chinks in an al- ready furnished kitchen, it is well ta bear in mind that summer is the time of the cook. No stove that was ever made can be anything but hot, if it is to do any cooking, and no kitchen uten- sils can be otherwise than trying when the mercury goes up to 99, hut there are may degrees of difference and of comparative comfort to be obtained by the careful seleetion of housewive's help- ers.

Féwer off-the-face hats are noted and more shapes with cut-away or short-back brims and wide sides. Cire chiffon is seen at fashionable gath- erings and entire dresses are made of it. The soft furs continue to be widely used for trimming the summer wraps o éssential to the costume of the well dressed woman.

The run of late on sports hats of vari- ous purple hues is held by fashion au- thorities to be due to the fact that much of the season’s sports clothing of tweeds, homeepuns and other rough weaves has dietinct tinges of purple, even though those shades may not stand out promi- nently at first glanoe.

When the boat was finished, a pre- liminary trip ffom the shipyard to the Jersey shoré satisfied thé ifiventor that he was going to be successful. It was made early in the morning, a few days before the regular trial trip, to the great surprise of these on hoard the ships anchored in the harbor, who were the ohly witnesses. On Monday, August 11, 1807, the ves- sel, which had been named the “Cler- mont,” made its trial trip. Fulton's chief backér in the énterprise was Chancellor Livifigston, and the boat was christenéd with the name of his famous country seat. The wharf ffom which the start was made was crowded with specta- tors, many of whomn inade sarcastic For a long time t| Placket openings will not tear if a|remarks, and theé majority expected a hook and eye are sewed {o the bottom.|fiasco. Fulton, writing about the oc- Fasten' them down flat with a pair of | casion to his friend, Barlow, sald that there were perhaps not more than thirty persons in the city who believed that the boat wouid move more than a mile an hour, or be of the least util- ity. ! But whén the hawser of the “Cler- mont” was cast off at 1 o'clock the vessel started and at-once, under per- fect control, started up the fiver, against wind afd curtent, and with- out any othér power than that of steam, and at 1 o'clock on Tuesday ar- rived at Clerfiont, one hundred and ten miles in twefty-four hours. The next day Fulton left the chan- cellor’'s home at 9 in the inorning, mak- ing the trip of forty miles to Albany in eight heurs. On the return trip the “Clermont” left Albany at 9 o'clock on Thursday morning, arriving at the chancelloF’s dock at 6 o'clock, leaving e T dnother | there an hour later and reaching New York thé next afternoon at 4 o'clock, thus making the réturn trip of one hundred and fifty miles in thirty Evening slipners contiftie ts be shown | OUrs’ running time, for five miles an in déeidedly fancy effects, with more and more of the leather cut away to show thé our.

An amiising result of the success of ‘the “Clermont” was that the owners of sailing vessels combined and sued out an injunction to restrain Fulton from running the “Clermont,” on the ground that the 'right of navigation of the rivér was theirs by prescription, as from the first the navigation of the river had belonged to them. It seemed strange now that such a ridiculous claim should have reached trial, but it did, and Daniel Webster won the case for Fulton and Living- ston. The jéalousy and dnmity of oth éfs in the rivér transportation busi- ness 16d to Several attempts to desiroy the “Clermont,” by running afoul of her, and in other ways, and special laws, making such action criminal, were passed. Numerous patént suits had to be de- fended and prosécuted to sustain the monopoly granted to Fulton and Liv- ingston, but it was upheld until 1824, when it was sét aside by the supreme éburt of the United States. Another and very valuable part of the steam navigation interest was introduced by | Fulten in 1812, in the construction of two_férry boats for the North river.
