Iquique Is the home of the nitrate In

mostly attracted by nitrate. Although
it is located on the seacoast with water
everywhere, there Is not a drop to drink
except that which is piped 45 miles from
a little oasis. Consequently, water is
expensive.

Berkeley, CaL, Nov. 27. (U. P.)
Berkeley city fathers are scratching
their heads in pussled fashion today,
wandering what in the world to do. If
they uphold a new and sacred city
ordinance, Miss Virginia Lane, niece of
the secretary of the interior, may have
to go to Jail.
Miss Lane, student at the University
of California, was arrested charged with
speeding, and the ordinance makes a
Jail sentence mandatory following con
viction. Already two men have been
jailed and the ordinance is only two
weeks old.
"I didn't want to be tardy at class,
said Miss Lane.
She is accused of driving over a
street crossing at over 25 miles an

TREATY OF PEACE
Protocol Not Effective Until
Roumania Becomes Party to
Terms Made by Allies.
Paris, Nov. 27. (U. P.) The
Bulgarian delegates signed their
peace treaty at 10:36 o'clock this
morning in the town hall at Neuilly.
Considerable interest centered in the
Bulgarian treaty because of the previous
refusal of Serbia to accept the treaty ef
St Germain, making peace with Austria.
Serbians held off until the last minute,
onlv signing the St. Germain pact last
night. They had to do this in order to
become a party to the Bulgarian treaty
today which tney were most anxious to
see in effect.
The execution of the Bulgarian proto
col, amplifying the terms of the treaty,
will not become effective for some time,
it was understood, in order to permit
Roumania to become a party to the
terms, as well as to the agreement pro
viding free movement of racial minori
ties befween Greece and Bulgaria.

today.
The Socialists elected to the chamber
of deputies in the recent election are
threatening to attack the king and pre
vent him from speaking should he at
tempt the time honored custom of open
ing parliament in person.
So acute has the political situation be
come that suggestions were made that
King Victor Emmanuel abdicate, but so
far there has been no official move to
Indicate that such drastic action was
seriously contemplated.
There will be about 150 Socialists In
the new chamber, although all of them
are not radicals of the Maximllist type.
Hitherto the Socialists elected to the
chamber have refrained from taking an
active part because of their hopeless
minority, but they threaten to seize the
rein in the forthcoming session if they
are able to do so.

New figures for silver, at a price

small domestic consumption by jewelers
is relatively unimportant. Danger of
unauthorised private persons melting
silver dollars in this country is consid
ered Blight for Beveral reasons. Pocket
circulation of silver certificates en
titling holders to stiver coin has also
been reduced by the general substitu

the silver dollars in the country are
more or less worn and would not pay
the expense of re-melting unless the
price of silver should rise to a price sev
eral cents higher than the gold parity
of the dollar.
The melting of half dollars does not
need to be considered until the bullion
price is greater than $1.35 an ounce, at
which figure the intrinsic value of the
metal is equal to the face value of the
coins. The proportion of silver in dimes

New Tork, Nov. 27. Stocks closed
lower Wednesday and the losses wore
material in a few issues but the final
prices were considerably above the
worst of the day. Superficial Wall
street talked of the Mexicaiy situa
tion as the cause of the snling of
stocks, but the real cause was
another rumor that the federal re
serve bank Intends to discipline the
loan market again not the Wall
street loan market but the com
modity market that is wildly specu
lative. That Is exactly what Wall street had
demanded should he done as a matter
of fair play. If the Mexican situation
is a market factor at all it is a bullish
one. Owing to the holiday there was
considerable liquidation by persons who
had bought the market for a turn but
the short selling was much greater tn
volume.

The market is now as full of short
accounts as It was of weak long ac
counts two weeks ago. Nobody in Wall
street believes the Mexican situation will
reach its crisis at this time, and. there

running on as usual It Is quite likely
that they will feel themselves com
pelled to cover their contracts. In other
words the technical condition is Btronger

which have been made recently that
there is n lull in building operations.

live upon American soil have to be thankful, and, more .
especially, those of us who find shelter and comfort in this
promising land of plenty and opportunity the North

came as a heritage from noble forefathers generations ago.
To realize all this and revere it with solemn thankfulness
is the purpose of this day. And in living its true spirit of
thanksgiving, let us impress upon our hearts the fact that
we are the people of a great nation a nation which de
serves to live as long as the ideals, institutions and pur
poses of its people stand for progress and the accomplish
ment of work well done.
