Rev. George r. Combs was as
signed to the pastorate of the Paris
Methodist church for a second term
by the Kentucky Conference in ses-
sion at Cynthiana recently. This will
be source of great satisfaction to
the members of his congregation
and the people of Paris generally,
with whom he has become deServedly
popular. Rev. Combs is a minister of
great spiritual force, gifted as an or
ator, and personally one of the most
likeable men in the ministry in the
State. Paris gladly welcomes him
again, and all hope the pleasant re-
stronger as time passes along.
Following the regular prayer
meeting service Wednesday night at
the Methodist church an important
business meeting of the Official Board
of the church was held, at which
matters of the gravest importance to
the church were considered. The

Rev. R. C. Goldsmith, assisted by
Rev. DR.. B. B. Bailey, pastor of the

DR.. Bailey is one of the church's
most forceful and eloquent orators,
and in securing him for this meeting
Rev. Goldsmith has made a master
stroke. Rev. Bailey's reputation as
pulpit orator has preceded him,
and Paris people will be prepared for
a real treat when the revival begins.

Swami Stops Sale
Of Dolls on Buses
Money Supposedly for War
Camp Fund, but Account
ing Not Obtainable

District Attorney Swami, while rid
ing on a Fifth Avenue bus recently
was approached by a boy in a Boy
Scout uniform, who asked him TO buy
some paper dolls dressed to represent
our allies. That started an investiga
tlon on the part of the prosecutor
which resulted in visit yesterday OF
Mrs. Estelle Allison, of 200 West Fifty
fourth Street, to Mr.. Swann's office
Mrs. Allison runs the sale of the dolls,
and she says the proceeds are turned
over to the War Camp Community Ser
vice, Madison Avenue, of which Arthur
Williams is the head.
Il found,' said Mr.. Swami. chat the
boy on the bus, while he said he was
Boy Scout, is not a member of the
organization. | also found that. while
Mrs. Allison has been turning some
funds over to The War Camp Commu-
nifty Service, there is no way of audit
ing their accounts. Mrs. Allison has
not furnished a satisfactory statement
of her activities.

ance No Change Is Planned
In Near Future

Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
and Theodore N. Vail, president of the
American Telegraph and Telephone
Company, said yesterday that their
lines were operating just as if there
had been no change of control, and
that so far as they knew no immediate
changes would become operative.
Both executives held lengthy confer.
ences with directors of their com
panies.
Mr.. Carlton said he expected to re
main executive Of the Western Union
service for some time. If the govern
ment saw it to dispense with his ser
vices, he said, he would devote his at
tent;on to his duties as president OF
the Western Union. Mr.. Carlton said
he understood from Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson that there would be nc
change for the present in the labor
policy Of the Federalized wire service
He said Mr.. Burleson had said moth
ing about changes in service rates OF
in wages CT employees.
Mr.. Vail was asked if he thought the
telephone and telegraph service would
ever be returned by the government to
private ownership and control
"Your guess is as good as mine on
that point" said Mr.. Vail.

Anna Held, whose recovery after

suffered a relapse that probably will
prove fatal, her physician, DR.. z. M.

which cannot be rendered except for
war prices. The credit of these com
panies in floating bonds is gone.
Their ability to borrow on short notes
is most limited. In the face Of added
expenses which this and other awards
of needed and fair compensation to
their employees will involve, such credit
will completely disappear. Bankrupt

result, hence our urgent recommeda-
tion on this head"
The War Finance CORPORATION. with
an available fund of $5OOOOO 900 to
lend war industries. is prepared to
give fancial assistance to some of the
companies for whose employees higher
wages were ordered. The CORPORATION
insists, however, that companies credit
be good. and that adequate security
be furnished. 1t is impossible for
some companies to furnish this, in
view Of the fact that their revenues
have not kept pace with expenses. For
these companies there is no direct help
available in Washington.
Directors of the War Finance Cor
poration, however, are said to be will
ing to investigate applications from
companies with impaired credit and to
recommend informally to state or local
public service commissions that the
fare increases for the railways be
allowed. 1t was to stimulate this local
responsibility for local problems that
President Wilson, Secretary McAdoo
and the War Finance Corporation re-
Gently issued statements urging public
service bodies to expedite consdera-

President Wilson is understood to
have declined to act recently on a sug-
gestion of the War Labor Board that
he take some drastic action to increase
street car fares generally throughout
the country on the ground that the
Federal government should not shout

YONKERS, Aug. Mrs. John De
Wint, of 612 Warburton Avenue, has
just a week to sever diplomatic rela-
tions with the twenty-five cats whose
constant presence about her home
aroused the neighborhood to summon
her and her husband to Special Ses-
sions on Monday. In the three days
that have elapsed Mrs. De Wint has
succeeded in getting rid of no cats
whatever, and, indeed, her visit to
court to-day was for the purpose of
imploring Judge William F. Bleakley
to change his mind and permit her to
go on feeding them
Getting rid Of the cats was simply
an impossbility, she declared, as the
little cutes absolutely refused to take
hint. At this point Judge Bleakley
had to rap sternly for order owing to
echoing cries Of "Cooties!" from the
audience, some of whom were among
those that had complained of the mi
gratory and intensely inquisitive feas
emanating from the twenty-five cats.
Pals of Vulgar Fleas
After quelling the vulgar disturbance
in his court Judge Bleakley got more
information from the neighbors and
from Mr. De Wint, who is a New York
attorney, about the cats, and then pre-
sented his ultimatum. If those cats
were not utterly discouraged, dispersed
and eliminated from the community
by next Thursday, he declared, he
would impose a fine of startling dimcn-
sions.
Mr.. De Wint evinced active interest
at this. He had spent S1,5OG wear. he
declared, providing milk and meat and
