GIFT AMERICAN GIRL PRICED
Probably No Reward Offered Her
Could Have Afforded Her So
Much Pleasure.

One big, bashful boy at Ai1-les-
Bains stood a part of every one OF
his eight days leaning against a post
and watching a splendid American
girl who worked behind counter.
She looked his way and smiled, but
he was very bashful and did not at
tempt to speak to her, and would
hardly smile in return. On the last
day of his leave he came to her with
long package carefully wrapped in
paper. He said: ''Miss, please ex-
.cuse me-. but / just wanted to ask If
you will accept this little present
from me. | amt much like the 9TH
er boys-not even back home did /
have much to do with the girls. |
have always been backward sort of
a fellow, but it has just been mighty
nice to be able to see you here, be-
cause you have reminded me so
much of some of our own women
folks Back home. You amt seemed
to mind my looking at you, and l
just wanted to know if you would
accept this little present from me-"
She thanked him, and unrolling the
paper from the package she found
two beautiful long-stemmed roses.
On one he had tied a bunch of
grapes and on the other two plums.
This was an offering of greater value
to this American girl than any
medal, cup or anything else that
might have been offered her.-Chris-

OLIVE CULTURE IN AMERICA
California EaAly the Greatest Pro-
ducino State-Mfssicn Variety
the Mos< in Demand.

The ancient scrap between Min
srva, who gave the olive, and Apollo,
who bestowed the horse upon man
kind, was decided, a. will be remem-
bered, in favor Of the lady-the dis
pute being as to which of the two
gifts was the more valuable.
To understand the reason for this
decision, one ought to live in the
Mediterranean region, where the
olive is vital factor in the lives of
the people. They could much more
easily spare the equine quadruped.
Olive culture has already assumed
great importance in our own coun-
try. In 1916 (the latest year for
which figures are available) there
were in California 834,938 olive
trees in bearing, and 515,221 not
yet old enough to yield fruit. The
states production in that year was
100000 gallons Of olive oil and
100000 gallons of picked olives.
The olive tree was introduced in
California by Spanish priests, the
6rst grove being planted in San
Diego in 1853. From those trees is
descended what is today the na6st
popular variety the so-called Mis-
SION olive

PLEAD FOR COOPERATION
OF THE TWO AMERICAS
Speakers at Luncheon Discuss In
Independence of q. S. and the
Latin Republics.

NEW YORK, October 2.-Interde-
pendence of North and South American
nations, both in commercial interests
and the preservation of their common
governmental ideals was discussed by
speakers at a luncheon given by w.
w. Davies, representative of La Ma
cion of Buenos Aires, to mark the
consolidation of the business and
news Offices of that newspaper in

Guests numbering fifty included
representatives of diplomatic. CONNER
cial, banking and journalistic life in
New York and South American re-
publics. Speeches were delivered by
George w. Wickersham, former At
torney General of the United States,
and E. F. Sweet, assistant secretary
of commerce.
Secretary Sweet declared that
though the balance of trade between
the United States and Latin American
nations almost always has been
against this country, he considered
our trade with our sister republics
of this hemisphere second to none in
Importance and. from a political as
well as financial standpoint, more
worthy of cultivation than trade with
any other part of the world"
Declaring that the problems of
lighting anarchy are common both in
North and South America, he urged
the republics of the western hemi-
sphere to guard against the tempta-
ton to welcome immigration with
too little regard to it's quality"

NEW CREDIT PLANS
FOR WORLD GIVEN
HoIIander Would Place Finan-
cjaI Questions With
League.

BRUSSELS, October (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Consideratio of an
other world credit scheme occupied
the international financial conference
this morning. 1t was presented by
DR.. Tor-Moulen. delegate from Hol-
land. His proposal was that the ques-
ton of international credit be handed
over to the league of nations. which
would appoint a central committee on
commercial credits.
The countries desiring to use the
facilities of this committee would
communicate to it the nature and ex-
tent of the securities they would
pledge for credits to importers. IT the
securities were approved the central
body would fix the amount of credit
to be given. and the league of nations
would issue interest bearing bonds
to the amount of the credit furnished
These bonds could be used as col
lateral security either at the bank
of the purchaser or by direct trans
mission to his creditors in payment
for his purchases.
scheme and the one presented yester
day by Premier DelacroiN of Belgium
is that this latter plan comprises
revenue from taxes among the things
that may be pledged.
Frances story of reconstruction mo-
nopolized the attention of the interna-
tional financial conference at yester-
days session, in contrast to previous
meetings, where the attendance had
melted away before the monotony of
financial reports.
French Envoy Reports.
Pierre Cheysson, representing France,
explained that the apparently unfavor-
able showing expressed by the condition
of the French treasury was due rather
to the reha utilization of the devastated
regions than to governmental expenses.
He said that treasury officials were dis
cuSSing with representatives of other
interested treasures an arrangement for
the settlement of advances amounting
to "a 900. 10000 francs made by them to
France. He pointed out that this debt
was partly offset by $4,000, 900. 600 francs
loaned by France to the allies.
A report by the unofficial representa-
tives of the United States at the con-
ference also was read.
Premier Delacroix, who spoke after
NJ. Cellier. French vice president of
the congress, had addressed the del
egates, explained his plan, giving it
the name international institute for
financial control and issue" Its OBJ
jects. he said. were to furnish a me-
dunn for compensation and to bal
ance commercial exchange between
without recourse to credits
Or loans other than those of the in
stitute, the gold bonds of which would
be guaranteed by the resources of the
utilizing it's facilities.
NJ. DelacroiX declared that compen-
sation by well conceived organiZa-
tions appeared to him to be the only
workable substitute for the present
methods.
Julio Barbosa Canneiro. Brazilian
delegate, proposed to the conference
the orga / zation of an international
financial institute. This body would
sit in Geneva permanently under the
auspices of the league of nations and
make recommendations regarding the
action to be taken by the league re-
specting the financial policy or condi-
lion of any nation that might threat

ADVOCATES CHANGE
IN STUDY COURSE
Supt. BaIIou Would Introduce
in Schools Subjects Pub
lie Demands.

Abolition of a uniform course OF
study in the public schools. and the
institution of subjects demanded by
the public, was advocated by Dr.
Frank w. Ballou superintendent of
schools, at meeting of night school
teachers and principals, last night IN
the auditorium of Business Hlgh
School. The old idea of making uni
formly good citizens out of UNIFORM
courses of study. the superintendent
declared, is fast passing into discard.

DR.. Ballou expressed himself in
favor of removal of the legal re-
striction. which prohibits govern
ment employees, other than teacher
in the regular schools. from recelV-
ing compensation for teaching IN the
night schools in cases where the sal p.
aries from the two positions amount
to more than $4,000. Congress re.
moved the restriction as TAR as IL

schools also teaching in the night in
situations 1t was pointed out that
at the last session of Congress there
was no Opposition expressed 10 mt

employees who wished to teach III

known reason the desired provision
was omitted from the District appro-
priation bill as enacted.
Night Schools to Open Monday.
Final plans for the opening OF the
night schools Monday were toid by
Walter B. Patterson. director OF spe-
cial schools. Mr.. Patterson also gave
the night school instructors ana p1lh-
cipals their last instructions.
Belief was expressed by Mr.. Patter
son that the night school enrolment
