LITTLE ASTOR CRACKS
U. S.-BRrTlSH NUT
(By United Press)

London, April 3. (By mail)-Lady
Astor's little daughter has solved an
international problem which has
been preplexing the best American
and British brains for some months
past.
It was at luncheon at Lady Astor's
house. The conversation had turned
on the topic Of present Anglo-Ameri-
can Misunderstanding and Lady As
tor invited her guests in turn to give
an opinion as to the causes thereof.
Words of wondrous wisdom waited
across the table. There was gem
eral feeling that that little Difficult
ty had been settled once and forever,
and each embryo-diplomatist having
vented an opinion leaned back with q
self-satisfied air, as who would say
II think my theory's best, anyhow"
Suddenly Lady turned towards her
young hopeful.
"Well, Toots,' she exclaimed "and
what do you think stands between
England and America? ~ a.:
The child, who up to this point had
paid very little attention to the bab-
bling of her elders, looked up in EVIL
dent mystification at having such an
utterly foolish question put to her
by a parent whose intelligence she
had every reason to respect. 4
10 "Why, Mummie dear, she faltere1
shyly, ''the-the ocean, Of course.

SHARK SKIN LEATHER =

= A process for tanning skins OF
shark and .porpoise so they can be
used for making boots and shoes has
been perfected, it was announced
here today by a. leading member OF
the, American Chemical society, who
said a section Of the leather. indus
try will be organized as one of the
first acts on the. society at its con-
vention here April ~ to II.
While no details of the process was
given out, it was said the new de-
parture will produce much cheaper
shoes than those now on the market.
as experts are now looking every
where for durable substitute for the
ordinary feathers used in making
footwear. .a-:,.... e,M -. -
, Other processes for tanning leather
will also be discussed at the cOnven-
ton; which officials declared, 1900
members will attend.
New processes for preparation OF
American sugar will receive consid-
cradle attention and the chemists, In
turning their activities from war to
peace, expect to play a dominant part
in lowering prices for this product.
"A new section Of the association,
devoted entirely to the sugar indus
try, will hold its first session this
year. Increases in cane production In
lower Mississippi and beet growing in
western Nebraska and Kansas offer a
big opportunity for the publication OF
American sugar and putting more OF
it on the markets, chemists declared.
Dye, kepl and acetone industries
will come in for considerable extern
sion, it was asserted. Announcement
will be made at the convention that
capitalists are waiting to- put $780,

IU.S. GIFT TO FRANCE
FUNDS BEING RAISED

Several contributions have been
received by the Office of the county
superintendent of schools from vari.
Gus rural schools thruout Beltram1
county for the fund which will be
used to finance the purchase and
erection of a gift to FRANCE.
"America,s Gift to France" will
take the form OF a heroic statue tc
be placed in position overlooking
the Marne river near the village OF
Meaux, where the first German ad.
vance on Paris was stopped on Sep.
TENDER s, 1914, less than twenty
miles from Paris.
The idea of a memorial: gift from
America, to commemorate this VIC
tory over the enemies of civilization
originated with group Of Americans
who have formed national commit
tee. Like the Statute OF Liberty,
the Marne memorial will be Of colos-
sal size. According to the present
plans of the sculptor, Frederick Mac
Monnies, 1t will present the Spirit OF
Liberty as a woman, struggling with
undaunted courage against her enc
mics.
The Statute of Liberty was paid for
by popular subscriptions in small
amounts, poured in from every corner
of France. Our gifts to France will
cost $26O,0OO, about the same as the
cost Of the Statute Of Liberty, and
It will be paid for in the same way
as France paid for her gift to the y.
s. It is more expressive Of the spirit
of the gift to have small contributions
from all the people;5than large dona-
lions from a few.

New York, April 3.-Youth must

Gray hairs have an advantage In
the arts and sciences but where the
physical becomes a factor, according
to the popular modern theory, it ie
young blood that counts.
When twenty-four-year-old Jack
Dempsey battered thirty-three-year
old Jess willard almost into a pulp
last summer in Toledo, the analysts
declared: 81 a..j, +. ., -- r.. I.
youth must be served"
Z Similar verdicts that age had ex-
acted its toll were given by the sport
.juries when s. Davidson Heron, the
youthful Pittsburgh golfer, won the
national amateur title; when Miss
Helene Pollak, the twenty-year-old
New Jersey girl won the indoor ten
mis- championship; when Harry g.
Helm, the Buffalo High school boy
showed his reels to field Of veterans
in the two-mile run Of the national
indoor meet, and when Walter I.
Reid, the Providence school kid, won
the standing high jump at the same
meeting. 80 ia.
Youth must be served, It is true,
but it must be served in lessons in
some cases. @
Look at Jack Britton, still welter-
weight champion Of the world at SO
years of age and still teaching young
sters and veterans alike the fine
points Of fighting. Look also at John
ny Kilbane, featherweight champion
at 81 with gray streaked hair.
Pat Mcdonald, the giant New York
traffic cop, who has been putting the
shot for more than ten years, Is still
able to outheave the best of the youn-
ger generation. Eagon Erickson, his
jumping brother member OF the traf-
fic squad, showed Walter Whalen, the
youthful Boston jumper, that age
isn't such a handicap by outjumping
him at the recent national indoor
championship meet.
Joie Ray is no kid any more and
Norman Ross is no duckling In the
water yet there are none in America
