Prince Christopher's bride, Mrs. Leeds,
Has footwear for all Of her needs.
Full ninety-odd pairs
| They say that she wears,
|If Chris shines 'em all, he'll sweat beads
The
Winner:
Of
Limerick No. u

Just an association of ideas, Plus
some work, and Harry Weber, 149
Adams street, an attache of the In
come tax unit of the Treasury De-
partment. gets 500.
Mr.. Weber was sitting in his
kitchen shining three pairs OF little
shoes. belonging to as many little
Webers.
Mr.. Weber had been reading about
the wealthy Philadelphia woman who
has been stocking up on footwear
preparatory to her marriage to a
brother Of the ruler OF Greece. Some
thing about it's being a Greek affair
reminded him of his task of shoe
shining, because down in Newport
KY. where he used to be city at
torney, the Greeks do that sort OF
work.
His Brow Grew Moist.
The combination of manual labor
over three tiny pairs of shoes and
mental labor over the coming nup-
tials, with their centipedal associa
ton. caused a dampness TO come to
his brow. He put one hand up to his
forehead and wiped of drops Of
perspiration.
Then he picked up the copy OF The
Times and looked at another page
where the limerick announcement Is
printed. He ran over the four lines
about Mrs. Leeds and her ninety pairs
OF shoes.
"If Chris shines 'em all he'll sweat
beads" he continued. This sounded
so good that he hummed the entire
Ave lines over again. Then he wrote
them out and mailed them TO the
Times Limerick Department.
when the judges saw the line they
formed the same opinion that he did,
that Il is pretty good line. They
went further and placed II at the head
OF the list OF all the last lines that
came In.
Mr.. Weber was at work Saturday
when the Limerick Man went to his
home to tell him OF the good news.
In response TO note, he called at
The Times ofrlce yesterday.
Hen buy some shoes.
The news got to the house ahead
OF me-" he said. AS n result, part
OF that hundred. when get IL. will go
for four pairs OF shoes. And I don't
get one OF them myself either" But
he really looked pleased.
The contest on No. ~ brought out
n number of good last lines, as wit
ness these samples, which stood high
with the judges:
Thank soodnessl Ny wife never
reads" Naturally she doesn't, because
the line was written by Miss Marion
McCann, 1903 oregon avenue.

Party in the Presidential campaign.

ratified now.
Senator Hitchcock, the Admins
tration leader, SO informed Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader, it was
disclosed today by Republican and
Democratic Senators favorins rati-
fcation on the basis Of the Lodge
reservations.
Wants II Defeated.
In describing the treaty situation
IS "hopelessly deadlocked." these
senators charged Hitchcock with pur-
posely blocking ratification by re-
iecting the Presidents unyielding
pposition to the Lodge reservation
o Article X.
They declared Hitchcock was no
more Sesirous Of, Immediate ,ratifsca-
Itioh than tho President himself, and
that the Administration leader. act
ing under explicit tpstruct.ons from
the White House.. was doing all he
could to prevent a union of Demo-
cratic Senators sufficient TO bring
about ratification by means of the
Lodge reservations.
Senator Underwood. of Alabama,
Hitchcock's rival for the Democratic
isadership, was also known to be op-
posed To acceptance Of the Lodge
reservation to Article Y by the
Democratic side unless 1t were moU
fed materially.
The Senate, by unanimous consent,
IL to vote on the fourth of the Lodge
reservations, that involving the do
nestle affairs of the United States
this afternoon. Its defeat is freely
predicted in view of the marked dis
position Of a number of Democratic
Senators TO stand by the President in
his determination to inject the treaty
into the campaign, which he so forci-
bly, expressed in his famous Jackson
Day dinner message.
Since that message evoked Wig
orous protest from William Jennings
Bryan, who, like many Democratic
Senators. is strongly opposed to the
treaty being dragged through the
campaign. the President has continued
to inform his friends and advisers he
would never consent to deposit the
treaty at Paris II the Senate was to
ratify IT with the Lodge reservation
to Article y.

 Commission PI0z Has
 Warranted TriUL Here

When Daniel M. Jones, of the Ds. M. Read company, was asked his opinion of the commission form ,oE' government today he replied: H
 sYou have asked me a hard Ques- tion. I don't know if I am familiar enough with the commission form of government to answer your question. will say this, though, that the bus mess of the city is the biggest busi- ness in the city and should be con- ducted in a thoroughly business-1ike manner. @
 "I also believe very much in the principle of direct responsibility, in the making of one man responsible for a business and looking to him for commission form of government has been tried, in most instances people are well pleased with the results and are glad to continue it. This is a fact which should be given weight in considering it for this city.
 Tt should be borne in mind that the success of any form of govern- ment depends on how it is adminis-e tered. I should expect that in order to have the commission form succeed it would be necessary to provide salary large enough to attract men of the largest calibre.'

PAY AS YOU GO IS
 ONLY WAY TO SAVE
 MONEY, LEE STATES

'fdore than s1o0,0o0 a year of use. less expenditure could be cut off the city's expenses without in any way impairing the public service Henry Lee condensed his views of proper financial program for Bridge port, for a Times man today.
 The schools must be taken care of some way' he continued, "and the highways and bridges must be maintained in a safe condition. We are obliged by law to do that much. I think the city has issued all the bonds it ought to until the limit is brought down to, at least 5 per cent If our grand list was on the same basis as Hartford and New Haven, two cities which are richer than Bridgeport. our bonded indebtedness would be at least eight per cent
 Do you realize what this differ ence means? It means that either Bridgeport is paying too large a share of the state tax or else New Haven and Hartford are not paying as much of it as they should.
 Ut may be necessary to issue bonds for erecting school buildings but all running expenses of the city should be paid for as we go along. l dc could be used in one year for build ing school houses as the Board of Education is asking for. l see no reason for issuing the bonds any fast CT than they are needed to pay Tor the construction which has been com pleted.
 Meanwhile. all this paving busi- ness should be called off Maintain, of course. what f.-s already been paw ed, but do no more until the indebt- edRess has been brought below five per cent. We should not be in the condition we are in. Some years ago the city inaugurated a pay as you go plan for it's finances. I had something to do about it. I circu- lated the petition which was present. ed to the Legislature to secure the action which made it possible. think at least 30 or 40 per cent. of all the large taxpayers signed the petition.

 Well, we put that policy into eff feet and what was the result? If you will look at your Municipal Reg

ENGLAND CAN'T PAY OUR DEBT FOR 20 YEARS

Washington, Dec. 3O-Englands S debt to the United States of nearly S5,000,000, 900 will not be paid with in 20 years. The nited States gov ernment will defer both the prin cipal and the interest, and allow England to exchange long time obligations. with maturities ranging from 20 years upward, in return for the de mand notes" now held by the treas ury. The long term obligations will be so drawn to include accrued in terest from year to year.
 Secretary of the Treasury Houston declared today the British govern ment had agreed to the main features of the funding arrangement and ne- gotiatfons to that end will be closed soon after tho arrival here of Brit ish government financial representa- tive.
 The amount of interest which the long time obligations shall beal. is subject to speculation. but the intima- ton is that the bonds will carry rates equivalent to those of American bonds
