onstrated in an unusual way.
1t seems that an owner Of Stude-

his out riding not long ago. The
friend noticed. as he sat in the front
seat. that the speedcmefer was COW
cred. mentioned this fact 10 the own
ar. and asked the reason for if.
Just a little idea I have" replied
the owner.
They drove through town and then
hit the open road. Pretty soon the
friend noticed that the car was
creeping up a bit in speed. The
owner turned 10 him and asked:
How fast do you think VIC are
travelling

the answer.

the owner. Just take that cover off

The friend did as suggested. and
the speedometer showed IL instead

A lot Of people still judge the
speed of all cars by the amount of
noise. swaying and general vibra-
tion." comments Mr.. Marden. Just
because car travels along quietly
and smoothly, they think it must be
going slow. That used to be- the
case. There was a time when an
automobile hitting 20 miles an hour
or more shook and labored TO an
extent that was very obvious to the
driver and other occupants. Some
people still Judge the speed of CIR
by the old standards. In fact. there
are few today who are not deceived
in guessing the rate AT which an au-

the immigration authorities at Ellis
Island. and when he was taken to
the studio of Gustave Sherman, off,

be placed on his passport for de-

TO his confusion and chagrin and
confessed that he is a descendant of
William Shakespeare.
Mr.. Ingham, if that be his real
name. was sent to Ellis Island, from
Malone. y. Y, and, after investiga-
tion, 1t was ordered that he be de-
ported to England. The warrant al
leges that he was liable to become
a public charge, and that he had
never been legally admitted to the
country. having evaded the inspec-
tion by immigration officials.
There is much mystery about the
man. Nobody knows just how he
ever got into the United States. No
body knows just why, or how he
ever came to select Malone. n. Y,

why he wore a beard like a Nor

FOE BLUNDER

Absence of Pivotal Boche
Officials Blocks
Discussion.

Spa, Belgium, July 6.-Despite as
surances of Konstantin Fehrenbach,
German chancellor. that the Ger
man delegation here was animated
by a spirit Of good will toward the
allies, and full intentions of meet
ing the obligations of the peace
treaty. there was very apparent
undertone of suspicion among the
entente Representatives as they pre-
pared for the second session of the
conference, to open at p. m. to-
day.
The attitude on the part OF the
entente was engendered by what
they considered the unfortunate po-
litical maneuver of the Germans in
coming here without the German
Minister of Defense, DR.. Gessler,
and Gen. Won Seeckt. chief of the
German general staff.
Absence Of these two men pre-
vented yesterdays initial meeting
from Citing anywhere, as the allies,
led by Premier Lloyd George. fatty
refused to consider discussion o.
disarmament without the presence
at the conference OF the German
officials who could undertake the
task of disarmament.
The program of the conference
as prepared by the allies calls for
discussion first of disarmament,
\cond of reparations, and third
the Slestion of trial OF war crimi-
nails.
Chancellor Fehrenbach has sent
for the German Minister of Defense
and the chief OF the gneral staff.
and both were expected to arrive
today before today's conference
opened.
