GAUDY CREIANS ATTRACT CROWDS
 AT PEACE MET

PARIS.-Kings, presidents and premiers have ceased to be a nov city at the Peace Conference, but the bodyguard of Premier Venizelos of Greece, never fails to attract great crowds. At the hotel where the American legation is housed and at the foreign office, Venizelo's ap- proaeh is always heralded by the arrival of one of his Cretan soldiers arrayed more brilliantly than a comic opera bandit.
 The Cretans who escort the Greek statesman are all more than six feet tall and apparently have been chosen from various organizations as a different man appears daily, and the same uniform is never seen twice. The swarthy Cretans all have waXed mustaches twisted into up- turned points and stand rigidly at attention for hours while awaiting NJ. Venizelos at the entrance to the hotel or the foreign office. The jibes of small boys and the jokes of various Allied soldiers who gather in wonderment never seem to dis turb the imperturbable Cretans.
 Perhaps the most startling uni form worn by one of the guards consisted of white tights bound by tasselled black silk cords at the knees, a red velvet blouse and sash, a red fez surmounted by a black silk tassel so long that it fell below the waist and black sandals with upturned toes topped by great black silk pom poms This costume was by an ivory-handled knife two feet long thrust carelessly into the sash.
 The knives and swords worn by the Cretans are the chief feature of the uniforms and make collectors of antique weapons very envious. They are of all sizes and shapes and have sheaths of great splendor, jewelled and carved in a marvellous manner.
 Some of the guards are bare kneed and have costumes not unlike the Scotch in style but much gaud- fer in color. Others wear marvel ously decorated leggings reaching far above the knees. Capes of oriental hues are frequently worn by the Cretans and add to the brilliancy of the Greek uniforms which make the fancy dress uni forms of the French and English look sombre

MONTPELIER TO HAVE
A BOOSTERS CLUB
Organization Practically Completed Last Friday
Night Frank Williams Elected President
Another Meeting Next Tuesday Night

There have existed in Montpelier
from time to time during the past fif-
teen years some three or four differ
ent commercial clubs. Each one
thrfyed for a few months or possibly
a year and then quietly lapsed into
a state OF innocuous desuetude. The
last club, which was organized about
three years ago. was the shortest
lived OF an of its predecessors. In
fact it existed only about three
months, without having accomplish
cd anything for it's own good or for
the good OF the city.
Not discouraged in the least by the
fate that had befallen all previous
clubs, a number of the enterpEising
business men of the city set about
a few weeks ago to perfect the organ
tzation Of smother club. The first
two or three meetings we're attended
by only half dozen or so of men
who were enthusiastic in the belief
that the time was ripe for the Or
WA NCAA AANC CkuD
Montpelier. After discussing plans
OF the organization, and the appoint
ment Of q committee to outline a
draft Of q constitution, a general
meeting was held last FRIDAY night
In the ONCE OF the Utah Power &
Light Co., which was attended by
some 25 OF the "Iive wires of the
city. The meeting was called to or
der by w. j. Ryan, who had been
acting in the capacity of temporary
chairman. AS the expression was
unanimous from all in attendance
that the time had arrived for the or
ganization Of a club OF some kind
which would have for its purpose the
advancement of the interests and
welfare OF Bear Lake county in gem
eFal and Montpelier in particular,
the selection bf officers was at once
declared to be in order, and the fol
lowing we're chosen to guide the des-
tiny OF the organization, which is to
be known as the Bear Lake Boosters
Club of Montpelier.
President--Frank NJ. Williams.
Vice President. C. Norris.
Secretary-NV., B. Trowbridge.
Treasurer-H. N. Moore.
As will be noted. the officers are
composed OF the younger business
men OF the city, but they are num-
bered among the substantial citizens
and are deeply interested in the ad-
vancement and upbuilding OF the
city.
In the selection Of Frank NJ. Will
liams az president we believe a wise
choice was made. He has been q res
ident of the city for the past four
years and during that time he has
made q large circle of frineds. He is
. young man pf sterling character
and good judgment. That he has
faith In Montepelier IL evidenced by
the fact that he Is about to engage
in business for himself. He is a
