Arkansas-Texas

j Put Up to Board
| Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 24.—Submis-
sion of the Arkansas-Texas boundary
dispute to three disinterested engi-
neer.-, whose findings will be aecept-
; ed by both States, was agreed on ten-
tatively here Saturday at a conference
of Arkansas and Texas officials.
| The Texas delegation agreed to rec-
ommend to Governor Sterling of Tex-
as that he accept the proposal made
by Governor Parnell and Attorney
General Hal L. Norwood of Arkansas.
Pending formal acceptance of the
proposal and the decision of the engi-
neers, it was agreed that Texas would
, establish jurisdiction for law enforee-
| ment purposes over the disputed ter-
1 ritory—a 4,600-acre fishing and hunt-
i ing tract along the Rde River near
Texarkana—and that both Arkansas
i and Texas hunting licenses be recog-
j nized in the area.
I Under the proposal, Arkansas and
Texas would each apponit an engineer
i and the two engineers would select a
j third to make a survey and determine
i the boundary line. Texas and Arkan-
j sas would agee to accept their deci-
! sion as final.

Tokio, Oct. 25.—Japan has no idea
of acceding to the League of Nations
council’s resolution calling upon her
to withdraw troops from occupied
Manchurian territory by Nov. 16, Gov-
ernment circles made clear Sunday,
unless China beforehand offers guar-
antees of protection for Japanese
lives and property.
The requested guarantee is one of
five fundamental principles upon
which Japan has said she would nego-
tiate for a peaceable .settlement of
the Manchurian disturbance. The five
principles were stated simultaneously
with assurances that Tokio would en-
deavor to persuade China to enter
into direct conversations.
-Direct negotiations, it was said,
probably would in time lead to the
beginnning of troop withdrawals
should local Chinese authorities be
able to assume responsibility for pro-
per policing of the districts.
Besides the demand that Japanese
live® and property be protected in
Manchuria before troops can be with-
drawn, the other principles laid down
by Japan are that thp two countries
mutually pledge nonaggression and
guarantee each other’s tenitorial in-
tegrity; China must abandon all forms
of anti-Japanese propaganda, includ-
ing the boycott; China must agree
to eliminate competition with Man-
churian railways and China must
recognize existing treaty rights, in-

THE SIAMESE DINQLEWOP
V
In the early spring these animal*
are covered with long brilliant stripe# i
which by summer are worn off by por* *
cupines and wild pineapples. They
eat hnm and eggs and jellyroll, and if
hungry will eat both hard tack and
soft tnek. The female dlnglewop 1#
quiet ferocious and will attack any*
thing from a Burmese Jewfly to *
white elephant.
You guessed it. Its head is nothing
but an old English walnut and s
double pennut for a body. Chewing
gum sticks on the toothpick neck, and
its toothpick legs have raisin feet.
Stripes and eyes are pen and ink o*
paint or any old thing.

YTEGETAMLE soups of various sorts
V made without meat stock are a
nourishing and inexpensive addition to
the every-day bill of fare. A dinner
consisting of some such vegetable soup,
followed by a meatless second course
of, let us say, tomatoes and spinach,
or succotash and tomatoes, makes aii
adequate and Inexpensive dinner.
The usual way of making creamer1
vegetable soup is to simmer the vege-
tables to get the vegetable stock and
then to add this to thickened milk
Here are some other vegetable soups
that you may like to try.
Cream of Lettuce Soup.
This calls for the outer leaves of
two heads of lettuce. Fry one-half
tablespoonful of minced onion in three
tablespoonfuls of butter until soft and
then add the lettuce shredded, with
three cupfuls of stock and three ta-
blespoonfuls of rice. Let simmer in
double boiler, adding water to keep it
equal to three cupfuls. Add one cup-
ful of milk and let simmer again in
double boiler until rice is tender.
Strain, pressing the rice through the
sieve.
Celery Soup.
This calls for a pint of stock made
by boiling ends and coarse parts of
a bunch of celery with a few slices of
onion. Add a pint of milk, boil togeth-
er. Have ready a half-cupful of
cooked rice, add to the milk and let
cook in double boiler for five minutes.
Have ready an egg slightly beaten in
an earthen bowi. Pour the soup over
the egg and let stand for two minutes,
stirring constantly. Season to taste.
Onion Soup.
Two cupfuls finely chopped onion,
two tablespoonfuls butter or bacon
drippings, four cupfuls rice water or
vegetable stock, onp tcnsnnnnfnl enl^
one-eighth teaspoonful white pepper,
one-eighth teaspoonful paprika, two
tablespoonfuls chopped parsley, one
tablespoonful of caramel. Cook onions
and butter or drippings in covered
saucepan, shaking pan often. Whm
onions are tender add to rice wad -
or stock; boil five minutes; add sail,
pepper, paprika, caramel and chopped
pkrsley.
