number in which the waltz music and
words of the song form a background
for a unique dance.
The "Love Theme" is another song
which is expected to prove a favorite
with the iaudiences before which the

in the first act and its repitition forms
a background for the closing scene.-
The dances which feature in the first

"V'anes" and "Vogue", fashion

Razing Necessary
Since the steam shovel started its

such progress had been made up to

W. Potter, state fuel administrator,
today.
In letters addressed to all county
administrators, Mr. Potter declared
that after Dec. 1 fair prices will be
fixed in localities where it is believ-I
ed unreasonable prices are being ask-
ed. Dealers guilty of charging extor-
tionate prices for fuel will be sum-!
moned before the fuel administrator
to show cause why their licenses
should not berevoked.
According to Mr. Potter's letter'
complaints have been received indi-
cating that in some localities dealers;
are demanding profiteering prices.
Accuses Dealers .
"In fact, there are some places in
this state," the letter asserts, "wheref
dealers, with considerable unanimity,
are charging unreasonable prices for]
coal."
Since the .enactment of the fuel
control law, the fuel administrator
has made no efTort to regulate fuelc
prices. Dealers were requested to!
hold themselves to the margin of
profit upon which they operated last
winter. There was general compliance
with that request, Mr. Potter said, and

Will Revise Sevres Treaty To Put

Lausanne, Nov. 23.-Two treaties
will probably grow out of the Lau-
sanne Near East conference, if it has
a successful outcome. One will be a
treaty between Turkey and Greece
settling their boundaries and adjust-
ng the problems that have arisen out
of their conflict at arms; the other
will probably be the revised treaty of
Sevres designed to put Turkey at
Peace with all the allied powers which
were at arms iagainst Turkey in tha

The latter treaty will probably con-
tain provision for regulations of the
Turkish straits.
Thrace occupied the attention of
the conference until late tonight, and
will again be under discussion. A sub-
commission under General Weygand
of France, is struggling with the
question of Turkey's Western bound-
ary, the full commission on territor-4

found it advisable to turn the mat-
