PERSIAN RULER WILL
VISIT UNITED STATES
LONDON. — An announcement
that the shah of Persia is on his
way to visit London brought in
timations in the newspapers that
the government would accord him
an enthusiastic welcome and all the
pomp and pageantry>of the visit of
that other shah in Victorian days
would be repeated. All this is now
of no avail, as the Persian lega
tion announces that “the visit of
the shah is quite unofficial.”
It is considered .improbable that
the shah is traveling with more than
a few personal attendants. He is
said to be simple in his tastes, and
cannot afford to follow Ihe tastes
of his father, who was accompanied
by a brilliant staff of more than
fifty persons. While in London he
will likely be housed in the Persian
legation.
The recent agreement by which
England becomes an important fac
tor in Persian affairs makes the visit
doubly important to the government.
Later the shah will visit the Unit
ed States.

HELP TO PROTECT
LONDON. — “If mankind is to
move forward in step, America, Can
ada, Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa, each in its own sphere, must
contribute its stream of effort and
illumination to the common poo!.’’
says the Round Table, in discussing
the responsibility of the nations foi
the future of the world.
I “What that means in practice we
cannot now do more than mention,”
the editor continues. “That it means
the acceptance of large mandatory
responsibilities by America goes
without saying. A nation of one
hundred million, possessed of far
greater wealth than any other in
the world, cannot continue self-cen
tered in her own home and grow to
the full stature of national man
hood.
“America laid herself open to the
charge of selfiish indifference to any
thing but her own interests by the
slowness with which she recognized
her duty in the war, and the con
sequently comparatively small sac
rifice which she made for the cause
of human freedom.
| “She is now showing a similar
readiness to try to escape from
I practical responsibility for the un
fortunate peoples not yet able to
• stand alone, and consequently leave
ithem to be exploited, and in some
cases massacred, by peoples in no
way qualified to have control of
ithem. America will doubtless rise
rapidly to a sense of her responsi
bilities. But it is urgent that she
should not delay.
| “The problem of the Dominions is
different. They pulled their full
weight during the war. All of them
except Canada have now assumed
trusteeship for backward peonies.”

BE KEPI DOWN,
SAYS MINISTER
I.EIPSIC.—Robert Schmidt. Ger
many’s food and economic minister,
in a speech at the Lcinsic fair, said
Germany was “sick with two dis
eases, lack of raw materials and
fuel.
‘’During; my visit to the fair
buildings," he said, “I heard con
stant complaints about the lack of
coal. We have the workers and we
have the orders in plenty; we can
easily get millions, even billions of
orders. But when I asked each in
dividual exhibitor why he did not
accept orders, he replied invariably
that he lacked raw materials and
fuel. It is true that every effort is
being made to force Germany back
into an inferior place, not in the
!
usual way of competition, but
through political methods. German
trade, however, will build its way
in world trade, for no power can
prevent the hunger for goods where
it can be advantageously satisfied,
j “People are accusing us of again
having recourse to the ’dumping
system’. We do not merit this ac
cusation, and I must deny it most
energetically. I have the nope tha>
in spite of all hindrances we will
soon climb up to prosperity if
work and constructive power, raw
materials and coal are placed at
our disposal in sufficient quantities.
“We need the world market. The
pressure will be removed from Ger
many, and we will get credit abroad.
We must be convinced that we are
again to climb. This people is not
to be destroyed economically. If
all enemies revive I hope that we
are not at the end of our rope,
but that the German people will
overcome these sad days and that
the joyful times will come again
I am building on the never failing
creative power of our industry, our
technique, art, and science.”

POTATOES WEIGHING THREE
POUNDS RAISED AT VALDEZ
Fred D. Higson of Valdez is ex
hibiting potatoes crown on his lot
which weigh three pounds. Last
year. Mr. Higson sent to a friend
in County Mayo, Ireland, for s
sample of the “praties grown on the
ouid sod," and received a small con
signment of seed of the Shamrock
variety. He planted them and they
exceeded his fondest expectations
They are firm and white and as fine
looking spuds as were ever seen in
Valdez.
Mr. Higson has another potato,
the Irish Cobbler, from which he is
showing 43 large spuds dug from
one vine. These potatoes are much
sma!ier than the Shamrocks, and
are of a reddish tinge. The vines
were about six feet long. Mr. Hig
son declares. He has about l.oOfl
pounds of this variety, raised from
a small patch on one of his lots.
This is the record for spuds, so
far as has been reported at Valdez.

LOUD DRESSING-GOWNS
IN DEMAND IN LONDON
j LONDON.—Shops in Jermyn and
Bond streets, which cater to Lon
don’s ultra-fashionable men's trade,
are displaying fantastic arrays of
dressing-gowns — gowns whose gor
geous colorings and barbaric pat
terns baffle description. Demand
for these garments is declared io
have been unprecedented in former
seasons. They are being offered in
the most flimsy of gossamer fabrics
or more substantial, but quite as
highly-colored, washable silks — at
prices which vary' from $10 to $35.
One writer, commenting on the
vogue of these garments, declares
"the bathroom parade at fashionable
hotels is going to be worth the en
tertainment tax."

mother of the dead child were fined
$50 each for being intoxicated.
