Llandudno,
Wales, October
Rth. —Mr.
Lloyd George,
in the
cousse
of a poli-
tical
speech
here this
morning,
deciar-
ed that
the
conflict
of
parties
in
the
United States
had
led to the
result
that
that
country
had
not
yet
signed
the
peace
‘treaty
with
_Germany,
and
he
asserted
that if there
had
been
a similar
conflict
in
Great
Britain,
the
latter
would
have
‘had
no
peace
and
there
would “have
‘been
no
treaty.
‘‘There
are
some
who
criticize the treaty of Ver-
sailles, ”’the Premier said, ‘‘but it was bet-
ter than that state of
war that
had been
going.on for years
with nothing
done’’,
adding
that there
were
some people
who
imagined
that
te
ignore
disagreeable
facts
was a proof
of exalted
principles.
Every
belligerent
country,
except
the
United
States,
said
the
Premier,
had
been compelled
to form
a coalition
Gov-
ernment
in
order to
get
the
best
men
of all parties together
to save
the nation.
The United
States
had not, he
declared,
been
so
much
ipvolved
in
the
war
as
_the
countries
of
Europe. It
came
in
late,
but, had
then
put
forth .colossal
efforts.
Its assistance
was
crucial
and
determined,
but it did not have
time
to
make the sacrifices
as
the other belliger-
ent countries,
and while
the
burdens
of the war
were. heavy in the
United
States,
they
were
.not
comparable
to
those of Europe.-*

BETTER THAN GOLD.
It is not-always
thegwisest
method
of
spending
money
to ‘assist on having
ar-
ticles of pure
gold or pure
silver.
Roil-
ed
gold
articles
are
sometimes
better
than
real gold,
and
‘electroplate
better
than real
silver.
:
i
~
The reason
for ‘this is
that
real
gold
and
silver articles
sometimes
consist
of
such
thin metal
*hat they dent at
a tonch
and sometimes
even will not bear dusting.
On
the other
hand,
articles
made
of
roiled gold have
a face
of genuine metal,
while
they
have
the
support
ofa
base
metal,
and
are
thevefore fairly strong,
and may be handled
without any danger.
Os course,
a good deal also depends
upon
the grade of the genuine
metal.
There
are
two grades
of silver—one
of these
bears.the
stamp
of the
lion,
and
other
bears
no stamp
at
all.
In
gold,
as
everyone
knows,
there
are
various
grades,
most articles being made of metal
between
9 karat,
15 to
18 karai.
There is,
of course,
also
22 karat,
and
there is7 karat;
but
the
latteris
very
rarely
used,
though one
does happen
on
articles
made
with
this
metal
from
time
to time.
'
There
are
also
inferior
qualities
of
both
rolled
gold andjelectroplate,
and,
naturally,
a certain
amount
of discretion
is
necessary
in choosing
articles
of
this
discription,
otherwise
one
may
obtain
a
very inferior article
by
no
means
bet-
ter
than even the
thiinest real gold
or
silver.— Everyday Life.
GREEN
AS A <ESBT CURE.
Have you
ever
thought
how
awful
it
would ‘be if the
grass
and
trees
were
any
other color than
green?
Pink,
for
instance!
Nature
was
very wise
when
she
chos:
green.
It is the most
restful
color .there
is.
That
is
why
hospital
wards,
nursing
homes,
and
schoolrooms
are
invariably
distempered
in
some
shade
of green.
It is soothing in case of
illness, and
by far the most restful
color
to work with.

:
A day in the country does
a city work-
er
the world
of good, but
it is not
only
because
the air is
cleaner
and
purer
than that of the town, but partly because
the
open, spaces
and broad
expanse
of
green
act
as
a
tynic
to the
eyes
and
nerves.
A city girl,
who suffered badly
with headaches
and occasional
eyestrain,
used
to say
that northing gave
her
so
much reiief
as sitting in a London park,
and
letting
the
trees
and
grass
work
their cure.—lbnd.

FRENCH
LIKE OUR
CANNING
METHODS.
Last year France borrowed
three
can-
ning specialists
from
the‘United
States
Department
of Agriculture.
This
unit
taught
a
large
number
of agricultural
directors
and
1 rofessors,
assembled
for
the purpose
at the principal
French
agri-
eultural
college,
the
American
methods
of canning
and
drying.
This
vear
the
Americans
have been
asked
to
continue
the demonstrations
and
lectures.
Instead at giving the instructior
at
one
place in France
this summer,
short
cours-
es will be ecnducted
in
different parts
of
the
country
at the schools
where
those
who
attended
the course
last
year
have
been
teaching
American
canning
me-
thods.
-To
facilitate
the
work,
the
French
Government
recently
issued
a
bulletin which
gives complete
directions
for ca~ning
by
the
American
method.
The
material for
this bulletin,
which
is
the
first of
its kind
to be
published
in
French,
was
prepared
by
Frantz
P
Lund,
a member
of the
American
can-
ning unit.

"EPIGRAMS AND WITTY SAYINGS’
Love
comes
from the heart,
but friend-
ship ifit be
true and
noble radiates
from
the entire being.
In this drab life of ours live ciean,
piay
fair, keep
grinning
even
in the face
of
the
most
persistent
adversity,
and,
if
there
be
a Heaven
you
will
be
sure
to
get there.
“"Seeing Life’’ in an
expression
often
used
by people
who
are
““fed up’’.
But
how
often
isn’t
the
whole
process
re-
versed
and
we
find
them ‘‘grasping
:t
life’’and being '‘fed lying down’’.
In this old world of
ours
life
is
‘“‘one
darn
thing after
another” with
a
few
very
precious
bright
spots
thrown
in.
So that
we will be
‘able to
‘‘get
on
to’’
the
good
thing when
it does
come
we
must cultivate
the habit of grinning.
Grousing doesn’t
pay.
At the
most it
is only a [pernicious
habit which
ecan
do
no good and very often muchk
harm.
So
cheer
up!
Keep
smiling!
Every
dog
has its day
!
:
Every
man
in thisold
world of
ours
s
made
to fill a
certain
giroove.
Because
you haven’t settled
down
in your groove
as yet should
not cause
you
the
smallest
gualm.
Cheer up!
You’ll soon fill your
groove even if it’s that
of an
indulgent
husband
whose
missis
is *'top dog’’.
““Money makes
the
world go
round’’.
But have
you
ever
stopped
to
consider
that it may
be also
due
to the
impetous
given it by “'the boys’’ chasing
the ever
elusive flappers
?
Jf you
want
to
compliment
a
woman
just you
teli her
she looks

But
