CASTRO WILL BE GOOD
Venezuelan President Decides to Pay
His Bills and Not Quarrel with
Uncle Sam.

Caracas. IAN. 20. VIII .lIe begin
ming of the new year the situation was
so tense that it was regarded with
apprehension in circles acquainted NTH
The contemplated policies of President
Castro. 1t is said on ~}niduubted .tu-
tho.ity that Castro contemplated hast
ening what he felt to be u crisis by
giving Minister Bowen his passport.
but was deferred by the report that
the minister would accept Them, IT
WAS in this acute situation that some
of Castro'S closest advisers induced
him to make oVertureS TO Bowen, who
acknowledged them by suggesting that
Castro might be able To settle his diff
ficulties With the foreign powers by
proposing to submit nj! the disputed
claims TO a~rbitlation, To make a
permanent arbitration treaty; to pay
a fixed sum of 100000 bolivurs year
ly, instead of the uncertain 80 per
yield this year only about 5000, 600 boil
wars; and to continue, after paving off
the allied peace powers. the same sum
to the German and British hondhold-
ers.
Castro accepted these ideas except
that he would not consent - arbitrale
amy but the American disputed claims
unless the American government urged
him To do so in u Very decided tone.
The proposed settlement is regarded
here as of great Importance, assuring
peace and preventing possible compli-
cations which might involve the Mon
roe doctrine.

ABOUT GOO COO" EYES
foRslOOEN N AousroN, .rexAs.
Defined by Judge Of City court-In.
eIude stares, WInks and ooilng
with Intent"-No Sane Man Safe
II the Girls Are Pretty.

Texas has furnished the country
with a definition of the much-used and
little-understood term "gOo-goo" eyes.
1t appears that the city OF Houston
not long ago passed an ordinance for
bidding the making of this sort of eyes
ana the question that naturally arose
In the minds OF innocent young men
was what they really were.
The judge of the corporation court
OF Houston, after having pondered pro-
foundly among his dusty tones and
consulted the stale authorities of his
bloodless profession, has delivered
herself of this opinion: "a stare is u
'googoo.' II 1t is committed with in
tent; wink accompanied by intent
Is 'goo-goo'; likewise the cooking of
an eye, ogling. making wide eyes, all
come within the broad sweep Of the
term 'goo-goo' II accompanied by in
tent"
1t appears that the offense depends
entirely on the intent of the 'goo-goo." :"
Intent being a necessary concomitant,
then it must follow that a seeming
"goo-goo" is really ''goo-goo" If the
stare, wink, ogling or wide" eyes
whatever that may be-is unaccom'
panied by intent. One may stare lie
dead fish at u pretty face in Houston
without breaking the law of man, bur
let even the faintest shadow of a sus'
picion of sympathetic intelligence light
up the offending orb and to Jail he
goes. II is left to the prosecuting wit
ness to say whether certain optical
acrobatics are accompanied with in
tent. And she must guess at II. Who
ever heard of a woman having the
least suspicion of what a man means
when he stares, winks, ogles or makes
wide" eyes at her? Poor, innocent
dear, she isn't supposed to know. Yet
the men in Houston are made victims
to the caprice of these innocent charm
ers who confessedly are not experts In
discriminating between the "goo-goo'
courteous. the 'goo-goo" with circum
stance and the ''goo-goo' direct.
The girls in Texas can fiirt all they
want to, but the moment a mans eye
even glistens in the sun the object oi
his adulation can have him sent TO the
rockpile or drawn and quartered, o.
whatever punishment is considered &c
fit the crime In Houston.
After this opinion no sane man is
! safe in Houston unless he is blind OF
has dyspepsia. or the girls are less
attractive than in other parts of the
| state. The moment he steps from the
train he is in danger. If a pretty face
confronts him and he gazes at II Q

You do not scratch your brasses when

that the WAX was not scratched on at
