PONZI CONTINUES TO MAKE
>, GOOD.

BOSTON, MASS, August g.
Charles Ponzi, whose offer of so per
cent return on investments in ninety
days, has resulted in federal and
state Investigations, declined the sug-
gestion of Attorney General Allen
that the state conduct an investiga-
ton to determine his assets. The
audit now being made by federal au-
thorities is for the purpose of dis
closing his liabilities.
"There is no law which can force
me to show all my assets" Ponzi as
serted. "Show me my liabilities and
I'll show enough cash to cover then"
The offices of the Securities Ex-
change Company, conducted by Pom
ri, continued throughout the day to
honor all notes presented by an ever
diminishing line of investors.
Spectators, two of whom claimed
to have made $4,000 yesterday by
purchasing notes at 10 per cent dis
count, met with little success today.
Ponzi and his wife attended a
theatre tonight and his appearance
was the signal for shots and cheers
from the audience, to which he re-
sponded by bowling from his box.

absence.
Reports indicating that the Presi-
dents health had suffered a severe
setback have been circulated recent
ly. According to some of those who
have seen the President, he is in bet
ter shape than he has been since the
beginning Of his illness nearly a
year ago. He presided at meeting
of the Cabinet this week, and after

BELIEVES BICYCLE WILL BE RE-
VIVED.

ATLANTIC CITY, August g.
The bicycle industry has progressed
more rapidly in the last year than
any other industry in the United
States. This striking proof of the
revival of bicycle riding was brought
out at the opening session of the con-
vention of the Cycle Trades of Amer
lea here.
The bicycle was emphasized as the
cheapest means of transportation
known to man. 1t was stated unof-
ficially that $4,000 bicycles were
manufactured in the United States
in the last year.
An appropriation of $780, 900 was
voted for the advertising campaign
in the interests of the bicycle indus
try in general during the coming
year.

AMERICAN NOTE MAKES I'M
PRESTON IN JAPAN.

TOXIC, Aug. 9.-The American
note dealing with Japan's occupation
of the Northern part of the island of
Saghal appears to have made an I'M
pleasant impression generally upon
the Japanese, but the hope is express
ed that the government will be able
to convince the United States that
the occupation is only of temper
airy character.
The newspapers in their comment
are adopting, in the main, three lines
of opinion. The first, represented
by the Kokumin Shimbun, is that
Americas attitude toward Japan is
in the nature of challenge. The
second, voiced by the Yomi- Yuri
Shimbun, is that the japanese mill
tarists are to blame for what it de-
clares is the misconception abroad
about Japan. The third, expressed
by the conservation Jill Shimpo, is
that the occupation of Russian terri
tory by the japanese constituted a
doubtful policy, liable to cause diff
culties both at home and abroad.

Revolution in Clothes for Children

Even at the tender age of five years he
develops masculine tendencies toward

ings as though they were an assault on
his maculinity.
Any mother who has her ear to the
ground realizes what the small boy
means by rebellion. He is ready to
fight whenever he is harnessed up like
a girl. The very phrase itself is an
insult which he has invented toward
himself throughout the ages.
The very small boy. being something
of the savage in his instincts. may not
object to the colored linen suits. al

trousers that reach to HIS armpits. He

such trousers and turn his face to the
wall and refuse to bulge If his mothe,
