DESCHANEL VICTIM
OF STAGE FRIGHT
French President Is Always
Nervous Before Making
Public Address,.

PARIS, March 24.-President Paul
DeschaneI is one OF the greatest ora
tors OF the day In France. but he Is
always suffering from a kind of
stage fright" when he rises to make
a public speech. In a letter TO NJ.
Ajant. deputy from the Sarthe. he de-
scribes his sensations as follows:
THE waiting IL awful. l always
feeel IN before / go TO the tribune.
But once there / feel h relief. All the
same every minute Is perilous. In the
chamber. just as on the battlefield, II
needs only a minute to win or lose.
IL is victory or the suillotine."
Endowed with all the gifts OF the
orator, a majestic presence. sonorous
and extraordinarily clear voice, i'm
peccable delivery and diction. M. Des-
chanel has never failed TO impress
his listeners. He is less OF debater
than his predecessor, NJ. Poincare,
which is probably due to the fact that
his function as president OF tho cham
Der, which position he held for many
years before his elevation 10 the chief
magistracy, forbade him from taking
part in the debates OF parliament.
Moreover, he has confided to NJ. Atam
that he lacks the gift OF certain ora
tors with whom the gesture precedes
the word and the word the thought"
For NJ Deschanel IL is absolutely nee

WIFE CREETS HUSBAND
AFTER 54-YEAR TRIP
Prodigal of Half a Century Returns
10 Helpmeet and Is
WclrOmed

CLARKSBURG, w. Va. March "a
After a continuous absence OF ffty'
four years and unbroken silence
through all that time, Barney w.
Grlmsley, seventy-eight, n soldier or
fortune, has returned to his home
here, his hair whltened and his skin
wrinkled, but with his eye still Keen
and his gait steady. His faithful,
gray-haired wife welcomed the prodi-
gal Of more than half a century.
Grimsley and his wife, who long
ago gave him up as dead, plan to
pass their remaining years in cot
tage in this city. Grimsley has made
money az stock raiser near Fort
Smith, Ark.
The two had been married only a
short time when Grimsley, then TWEEN
y-four, suddenly disappeared. Days.
weeks, years passed, and no word
came from him. The young wife,
though grieving over his absence,
braveiy turned to making her own
living.
For years Grimsley wandered from
place to place in the West. Eventually
he settled down to employment on
cattle ranches. He began to save his
money, and in time he owned a
ranch. Instead of communicating
with his wife, who, he realized, might
be dead or married to another. he
decided to make n personal visit to
his boyhood town.

Daylight Saving
Thrust on Kenosha
Northwestern Schedule Changed to
Meet Daylight Saving Plan Now
Effective in Chicago.

Kenosha had taste Of daylight saw
ing thrust upon her on Sunday morn
ing. She did not even have voice
in the affair but the residents Of the
city will be forced to adopt little
Of the light saving plan because of
the action of the city Of Chicago. This
was made evident Sunday when the
suburban trains on the Chicago and
Northwestern were all advanced one
hour in order to accommodate Chicago
passengers. For example, the train
leaving Kenosha heretofore at six
o'clock in the morning will now leave
at five and reach Chicago on the same
time as the old schedule, according to
Chicago daylight saving time. The
new schedule went into effect mid
night Saturday and new time tables are
expected at the Northwestern stations
here this week. The train which form
erly left Kenosha at 8:46 in the morn
ing is now scheduled to leave at 1925.
AS there are some trains not affected
by the change patrons of the line are
urged to make inquiry regarding the
trains and secure the new time tables
for the summer season.

Record Price for
Tennessen Farm

What is undoubtedly record price
for land in Kenosha county was agreed
upon tc LAY when Herbert Millager,
owner and manager Of Central Park,
bought the thirty-fve acre farm of
Msr. William Tennessen for thirty five
thousand dollars. The tract is near
the park and will eventually be used
by Mr.. Millager in connection with that
resort. 1t is finely located and has
splendid possibilities for truck garden
ing or intensive farming. It has been
limited that it has many undeveloped
resources which the new owner means
to exploit. Ms Tennessen will move
to Kenosha as soon as she can secure
a desirable residence in desirable
section Of the city. Today's deal was
made through the Stahl Real Estate
agency with Offices in connection with
the Motor Sales company on Church
and Park streets.

Launch Drive for
Good Sanaritans'
Service Fund Takes Flying Start This
Morning at Opening Meeting
of the Campaign.

Plenty of enthusiasm and pep mark
ed the opening meeting this morning
Of the committee in charge of the cam
paign for $4,000 to refill the Service
Fund Of Kenosha for the use of the
Kenosha Service League, the st. Cath
crimes Hospital and the Kenosha Hos
pital. The drive was launched with an
enthusiastic meeting of the committee
in the assembly room at the Chamber
of Commerce building where addresses
from representatives of the various
institutions emphasized the need OF
putting the drive over the top.
Miss Hattie Gabrielsen, superintend-
ent Of the Service League, pointed out
that the campaign was to find mod
ern Good Samaritans" in Kenosha who
wished to "show that true charity does
more than help the poor in their pfv-
erty-it helps them out of it." She
was greeted with enthusiasm, as were
also Captain Edward Dayton for st.
GATHERINGS Hospital and A. II. Quigley
for the Kenosha Hospital.
The leaders Of the campaign are
confident that Kenosha people will
meet the call and refill the Service
Fund chest in the time set for the
campaign.

KENOsHANs SAW 1T.
Local People Witness an Unusual
Thriller at the Coliseum.

Local People Witness an Unusual
Thriller at the Coliseum.
Kenoshans, who helped nominate
Harding and Coolidge on Saturday, saw
a thriller that wasn't exactly arrang
ed by either the rules committee or
the so-called senatorial circle"
While leaders on the rostrum, some
times dubbed "the squared circle,
were discussing the proposed adjourn
ment at one-thirty p. M, a young man
from the press-box jumped through the
ropes and into the strange melee. He
apparently had something to say. He
said it and Senator Lodge objected.
The young man took ST ng at the
chairman and moment later was him
self taking a swing over the ropes
around "the squared circle" He had
made the name appropriate; also him
self rather generally discussed by his
colleagues in the press-box.
Incidentally, the "young of the
strong conviction and the equally
strong right arm was Hugh Baily of
the United Press Service. His mes
sages reported the great convention to
readers of the Evening News.
Following the semi-fstic episode of
Saturday afternoon, Mr. Arthur Bris-
bane Of a rival agency, said Of him:
"Mr. Bailey Is a brave man and a
splendid reporter"
