Paris Would Make Itself
Greatest Port in Europe

Paris, July %. = An elaborate
scheme to make Paris one of the
largest river ports in Europe is at
present under discussion by the
municipality of the city. 1t aims at
the creation Of huge harbors in the
immediate vicinity of the city, to-
gether with docks and basins. These
harbors would be situated at Gen.
nevilliers, on the west side of the
city, and will maintain direct traffic
with the sea, another at Bounouil, on
the Marne, and to the south of
Paris, will control the upper Marne
and upper Seine traffic, and another
at Pontin. on the Ourcq, which by
a new system of canals will be
linked with the industrial district in
the north of France. Branch lines
of the main railroads will connect
the latter with the ports.

New York, July "a. - Financial
circles estimated that the expenses
of railroads throughout the United

he objects when he gets il in whole

He has brought suit against his
wife, Winnie Mae Waldo in the su-

down a costly perfume barragc,
mingled with skillets, stove-hooks,
dishpans and other kitchen bric-a-

Mr.. Waldo said he mildly remon-
strated with his wife over the high
cost of powder and perfumery she
was using lavishly and their argu-
ment reached point where she
broke bottles of the costly perfume
over his head. They were in a drug
store at the time and she swept the
counters in search of ammunition,
for which he had subsequently to
pay. The pickering was resumed
after they returned home, only this
time she employed the family skillet

Early Acceptance
OfPeace Terms by
Ireland Predicted
Reports From De Valera Lead
To Optimistic View for
Agreement in Near
Future.
By John STEELE.

Chicago Tribune Gable. Copyright. 1921.
London, July "a. - There is a
growing feeling of optimism that
the Irish problem is we'll on the
road to settlement in official circles
here, as a result of reports received
in London from Ireland.
Sir John Anderson, who arrived
from Dublin, reported that all in
dications there pointed to accept
ance of the governments offer as
basis for a conference at which the
details of peace will be worked out.
Both sides assert most positively
that none of the forecasts of terms
published in England or America
are more than intelligent guesses.
Prime Minister Lloyd George has
promised Eamonn De Valera that
there will be no publication here un-
til the Irish leader has had a chance
to present the terms of his COL
leagues. This action was taken to
enable Mr.. De Valera to forestall
any hostile action by Irish extrem-
lists.
All that can be said definitely is
that the terms are so generous that
they astonished the Irish, who ex-
pected long haggling to obtain any
thing worth considering and that,
on broad lines, they comprise
dominion status for the north and
south, with provisions for eventual
union and certain reservations made
necessary by the geographical prox-
unity of the two countries.
The date for full meeting of Dali
Eireann has not yet been fixed, but
it probably will be held in a week
or 10 days,

Chicago, July 24.-As investigators
dig deeper into the affairs of the
Michigan Avenue Trust company, it
is found that the failure is worse
than at first believed. Saturday it was
discovered that the vaults had held
what is believed to be forged papers
to the amount of $500,000. These
are the alleged forged signatures of
Iowa and Illinois farmers on securi-
ties purporting to belong to them.
Singularly enough, all these spurious
securities have disappeared.
1t is now estimated that the total
loss will run to 100000 and per-
haps $1,s00,000
Worldwide search was instituted
today for President Walter Spurgin.
The local representative of Lloyds
of London, which has offered a re-
ward of $4,000 for the arrest of
Spurgin, said:
I'VE are afraid that unless we move
rapidly, something may make the
loss irrevocable. We figure that
SpulSul ildu dt ledSl SIX udyS Stdll
and the he CARED with him not less
than 100000 in cash and negotiable
securities. There are indications that
he fled to Mexico"
Information came to Lloyds that
Spurgin had been seen in Chicago
within the last "a hours.
Affairs of the bank will be brought
to the attention of the grand jury.
Bank officials will also offer a re-
ward for the apprehension of the
fugitive president. kilograms with
detailed description OF Spurgin have
been sent to all parts of the world
by Lloyds. Mrs. Spurgin, wife of
the banker, also is missing and it is
believed she is with him.
One of the bank officials said that
as matters now stand, the depositors
will not get more than Soc on the
dollar and further disclosures of
crookedness may reduce this sum. 1t
is believed Spurgin sunk the bank
funds in wildcat oil speculation.

Coal Production Drops
For Week Ending July l6

Washington, July 24.-Production
of bituminous coal continued to de-
cline during the week ended July l6,
according to the weekly report of the
geological survey. The average pro-
duction per working day, which de-
clined from 1,276,000 tons in the
week ended July 2, dropped to 1.227,-
600 tons, a decrease in two weeks OF
4 per cent.
The total production for the week
ended July 16 was 7,359,000 tons, as
against 7,638,000 tons for the last
preceding full-time week.
The geological survey attributes
the causes of the present decline
chiefly to a falling off in the lake
movement and in exports overseas.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1921,
NEEDFUL THAT OFFENSES CAME

THE Young men whom Ardmore has been com
planning at recently for the most part have been
raised here They are products OF an environment
thar we have either built or allowed to be built right
here in our own city They did not grow bad III
some other environment and move in here. Ihey
are products OF own country
In the DAYS OF the old federal courts when Grim
nals we're brought here from all points OF the
Chickasaw Nation and placed in prison II was re
markable how few OF these young men could write
their own names.
While the federal government was shipping edu-
Gator, TO the Philippine Islands and system oI
education was being created in that country tor
the negro inhabitants and efforts were being made
to teach them, this country was without schools
and without roads 1t was the same old story OF
seeing the needs away oft and OF sending mission
aries when home is being neglected.
When the wind is sowed the whirwmd must be
reaped. There is no way to avoid it,
The hunger OF these people for schools was made
manifest with the coming OF statehood by the con
struction OF good substantial buildings by the pay
ment OF good salaries to teachers as salaries were
measured in those days and the schools were brought
home to the children
We have in addition to the establishment or
schools dotted the land with churches and have built
roads and there are more means OF communication
among the people. and the young men OF today have
a hundred advantages where former ones had none
There is no longer any excuse for an unhealthy
environment. We have every modern institution for
the training OF young
Our country is reaping where it has sowed This
fact is bound to stand out in front OF us. 1t is not
short Of criminal now in any good citizen to lai
by neglect or by any other manner to work patiently
and with iirmness and determination to that
Ardmores environment shall be as perfect as it is
possible to construct There should be no compro-
misses made with liquor and immortality and the vices
that grow out OF these evils.
1t is unhappy experience that death and deep
humiliation had to come but experience leaves
us where i, found US and in this experience Ardmore
is finding itself, it is shaking itself loose from the
past and j; is looking steadily toward clearer sky
where evil cannot grow fat upon the soils OF honest
labor where it cannot least upon the honor OF man
hood and She virtue OF womanhood until swollen
with its own deceit it magincs it sits upon throne
and may order other. to obey.
