The trouble comes in Where everyone wants to talk at the same time with someone else at s distance and In doing so their conver- sation is certain to conflict with a thou- sand and one others, break into the con- cert that others want to hear or inter- rupt messages involving business or matters of real importance. It & not difficult to talk from one glde of a banquet hall to the other when the chairman raps for order, but it is 2 seeless undertaking untll there has been that overcoming of the roar and bugs gaused by the general participation in the talking and laughing.

Such an arrangement in regard to the uee of wireless telephones would do much to overcome the present clogging of the air. Just at present there is doubtless need for the regulations that are heing sought but the inventors also should be put to Werk to-help solve the difficulty. (Speciagl to The Bulletin) ‘Washington, Feb. 13.—Democratic op- position to the ratification of the con- ference treaties has melted away far more rapidly than has the snow from ‘Washington's streets. Aaffairs at the capitol have taken on a new phase and at this moment there geems to be scarcely a baker's dozen nators ready to say they are against ratification of the conference work. This came to light very forcefully the day President Harding presented the treaties to the senate and personally ex- plained his Interpretation of the posi- tion In which ratification would place the United States. After the president left the capltol, which was late in the afterneon, big groups of new: correspondents gathered around senators whose influence is powerful and whoge views had been extremely positive elther for or against thetreaty of Versaflles. The senators selected for such Interviews Included the leaders of both the republican and dem- ocratic side of the senate. With but few exceptions those men wholly endors- ed the treaty as it came from the pre: ident; the exceptions to wholesalle en- dorsement made It elear that hesita- tion did not mean disapproval. It meant an open mind. The democratic senators who a month ago sald to vour correspondent that they would rather see Senator Underwood demosed from floor leadership than fall into line with him and support the treaty, today spoke respectfully of the work of the con- ference and made it clear they, for the most part would support the treaties in the form presented today. Just what has brought th about is a disputed question. President Wilson relinquish hope of hold- ing his former followers in line, and so release them from any obligation they moght be under to him? Did they find Senator Underwood had a stronger hold on the democratic leadership than they supposed when they gibly sald, “Oh, there are others who can lead,” or is it popular sentiment in favor of the treaty that has brought the democrats into the line of ratification in spite of what they sald a month ago? Today one of their leaders sald to vour correspondent: “The last few weeks of the conference made the change. The way the Shantung mat- ter was settled, the stand It teok on submarine and polsonous gas warfare and many things concerning the Far Fast have proved the conference to have accomplished much good and we dem- ocrats are ready to give it our approv- al. We do not entirely agree with some of the matters involved, but we believe it has accomplished so much that for the most part we shall support the treaties sent to the semate” The for- eign relations committee will consider it, possihly some reservations may he sug- gested, and then it will come before the senate for discussion ad ratification by at two thirds vote. The previous sug- gestion that the treaty would not be di cussed untll after all other business wa. out of the way does not seem likel now. Neither republicans or democrats today seem inclined to delay action, and unless many senators - completely turn turtle on the opinions expressed today the treaties will be practically un- opposed, with the pogsible exception of the 4 power pact, &nd opposition to that {s not believed sufficient to defeat —_— THE GENOA CONFERENCE. Just when the Genoa conference will be held, or when it will actually get down to business even though it econ ¥enes on March 8, is a matter of Inter- est to many countries at the present time. The arrangement had been made for it before the change in the premier- ship in Prance. The replacing of Briand Wwith Poincare. has upset the scales and now ranee I8 gnxious that there be a Postponement of the date. Whether the government situation in Italy Is suffi- clent to warrant a delay will doubtless be determined before that date, and but for the position which has been taken by France the attitude of this govern- ment would have been disclosed. The conference at Genoa is called for the purpose of reaching a solution of the economic problems of Europe. That is a job which this country has mot previ- ously considered it should be concerned in, yet it is interested in many ways in thse conditions because it is a large creditor of many of the nations and it is realized that mot unti] there has been a readjustment over there will it be pos- sible for conditions to become normal over here, We have no desire to tell Europe what! it sheuld do but it is likely that Buro- pean nations are a bit Interested in the view which the United States takes even as an outsider, what can be expected as Its attitude regarding different phases of the problems and what its Intentions are regarding its European debts. While there is a widespread desire in certain clrcles to get Russia opened up for trade purposes, it 1s to be realized that this government has maintained that it could never recognize the soviet government until It had complied with certaln requirements. To enter the Genoa conference with Lenine In at- tendance would technically indicate a recognition of that government. However, while therg are those that feel that something should be done for the econgmic readjustment as soon as pessible, there are others that see no reason for haste and it doesn't appear to be the policy of this government to take sides in the situation by announc- ing at this time its decision concerning the Imvitation.

Mr. Merritt said that the day the conference closed he had the great pleasure of being a luncheon guest of Mr. Putnam, lbrarlan of congress and where Mr. Baifour was the guest of honor. Mr. Merriee added that Mr. Bal- four had many complimentary things to say og the way the Amarican dele- gates and the president handled the conference, and learning that Mr. Mer- ritt was from New England, said that he had hoped to visit New England on this trip and expressed great regret that he must return to England without so doing. Congressman Glynn sald teday “The most optimsitic friend of the conference would not have dared to hope or or predict such a successful outcome as has resulted.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

I had no interest in_so doing.” During the trial many witnesses were heard. Most of them, while testi- fying that Papavoine wos of a morose leud in praise of his uprightness. They said he was an honest man, very hu- mane and fond of children. Papavoine was eloquently defended by M. Paillet, a young advocate, the defense being temporary insanity. His skilful argument impressed but did not convince the jury or' the judges. The theory of the defense was too bold and novel. Monomania, that word of mod- ern creation, was not then ‘accepted. The jury only deliberated an hour until they found a verdict of guilty. The president pronounced the sentence of death. No trace of emotion was visi- ble upon the features of Papavoine, who arose and said calmly, “I appeal to divine justice.” In spite of every exertion made by his family to obtain royal clemency the uphappy man was executed on the 25th of March in the Place de Greve FAMOUS TRIALS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I Domestic Animals and PAPAVOINE iy of Jan, 26, One of the strangest dramas to be|er of domes found in the criminal annals of Francsl the mext sesslon, which would mean sometime after December 1, 1922, and S0 not affect the size of any state dele- gatlon in congress until after the fall election.

The woman attacked the man with her umbrella, but paying no at- tention to her he advanced to the other boy and struck him the same way.

One variation, with which vou are undoubtedly familiar, and which per- haps you use yourself, is to make the stem as a sort of narrow loop. It's a common enough trait in hand- writing, and it denotes a rather “com- mon trait of character, and a good one. People who loop their “t's”, you may be sure, have a certain amount of sen- sitive pride about the things the ycon- sider really important. They are sitive in the sense that they are I to resent your criticism of their ac- tions in relation to the things in which they have this sense of pride. but not in the sense that their feelings are easily hurt. The looped “t", however, doesn't tell you what the things are in which they are proud. That is a thing vou must find out from their other physi- cal characteristics. It may be religion ethits or artistic ability, or sense of Justice; in fact, any of the myriad of things in which people do take pride. But it's logical to suppose that with such people there are things on which | they have principles which they try sincerely to live up to. Otherwise the could not be sensitive to the criticism.

LIN STREET, NORWICH. Enthuslastic applause greeted Dr, . Blumer, Dean of the Natureopathic Col- lege, on being introduced in Norwich some three weeks ago as the lecturer and dem- onstrator of that unique health system of which he is the founder. It was pointed out that while the theory of Natureaoathy was logical and rational comprising, as it does, the best of all drugiess and natura! healing methods, it is more than mere theory, having been successfully demon- strated upon some fory-five thousand cases personally treated by the leoturer, the great majority of which having tried Natureopathy as a last resort. In making cumpariscns between Nature- opathy and other systems, the lecturer emphasized the fact that he did not de- sire to maks personal criticlsm of certain doctors, but he merely wished to point out their defects and shortcomings, and there- Y pointed the way to a better system, one that gromised to gestore health to millions after the people will have beer awakened to the beneficient effects to be obtained from the natural and rational methods of the Natureopathic system, thus obviating the destruotion of tissue and the aoquiring of demoralizing drug habits as @ result of the constant dosing with pois- onous medicines Surgery was given credit for being the only method indicated in certain conditions, howeser, the bane- ful effects of removing vital parts of the body was pointed out and it was shown that 859, of the cases that resort to surg- ery could be restored to health by natural methads without the serious risk of life and health that it usually entalls. The lecturer analyzed the various drugs usually prescribed and how paralysis, gastro-intestinal disturbances, nervous brostration and other serious ailments re- sulted from the regular taking of drugs Drugs, as Dr. Oliver Wendell Hoimes once stated, have their rightful place, which is the bottom of the sea ; if they were placed there ft would be better for humanity but worse for the fishes. The limitations of the single branch methods such as Chiropractic Osteopathy, Mechano-therapy, Food-soience, ete., were 3lso pointed out. Al the drugless natural methods contained virtue and were there- fore included in the Natureopathie prac- tice, but they were absolutely to be ta- Gooed when not indicated, wihich fact could only be determined by a practitioner who had recelved a thorough and com- prehensive training in a liberal school of drugless healinz such as the Blumer Coi- lege students receive, At the last fternoon lecture many had exyressed their wish that another lexture and demonstration Le given next week b Dr. Blumer stated that two weeks' lec tures is all the time he could spare. was unanimously decided to Tequest an- other such lecture as that given Ladies’ day, since a great many did not learn of lectures uniil this week.

The demonstrations, which were given at the conclusion of the leoture, elicited the intense interest and en astic ap- plause of the many who Wit markable work done.

Its were merely a limp mase with absolutely no power of motion. After the treatment had been given he could move his little limbs, to the great astonisiment of all present. A young man from Second street who had suffered with pressure in the back of his head all his Jife was relioved after a brief Natureopathic treatment. A gentleman from Niantie who hac suffered with paralytic trouble for fifteen years and who walked with difficulty even with his crutches, with muscies atrophied, was given a treatment by the demonstra- tor. It was explained that muscles comd not be grown in a few moments’ ireat- ment. Yet after a brief treatment he could walk without his crutches even though one limb was considerably shorter than the other. A boy nine years of age, whose left elbow had been ankylosed for the past two years as a result of the inocuiation of antitoxin for tycheid fever, appeared for treatment. The poor little lad had suffered almost continuous pain during these years, and it wag explained that while an ankylosed iimb coull not he cured, though surgery made claims to successful refracture, which, however, has invariably been proven unsatisfac- tory subsequently. After several mo- ments' treatment a feeling of ease ané comfort was restore dand the lad was profuse in his gratitude for the improve- ment received. A young lady from Roath street whose joints were full of cha’ky ce.osit near to ankylosed since six years ago and whose limbs were ail conforied and crippied up was given a Natureopathic treatment.
