CAR STRIKES BOY,
 INJURIES SLIGHT

Francis Morgan, the young son of Mir. and Mrs. E. N. Morgan was struck by an automobile today at noon, but was only slightly injured, it was shown after medical examination. The lad sustained severe bruises and was badly shaken up. Good luck favored him, however, and no bones were brok- en or any other injury of a serious nature sustained.
 Young Morgan was playing on the Prince street paving in front of his parents house. He possibly was un- aware of the approach of car driven by Folley T, Wright for he stepped di- rectly in the path so quickly that Mr. Wright was unable to stop. The impact threw the boy to the paving. He was taken to the house and pr. George s. Brown summoned to attend him. The boy was said to be resting well this afternoon.

Lloyd George and BRAND May

Together
LONDON PRESS APPROVES
by the Associated Press

Tondon, Dec. 13.-Rumors of the pos
Hbility Of an international economic
conference in Washington, which have
been current here during the last few
days, are the subject Of comment in the
London morning newspapers today.
Il Is not assumed that such n con-
ference has been decided upon. but the
success Of the Armament Conference
has aroused hopes that the economic
troubles Of Europe might be settled by
a similar gathering.
Connected with the rumors are more
or less vague reports that Prime Min
lister Lloyd George and Premier BRAND
Of France, intend 20 go to Washington
together after the French Premier's =
visit here next week
The Daily Mail claims to have re-
ceived official information from Down
ing Street that Mr. Lloyd George Is
unlikely to go to America for somc
months. but instead purposes taking
a vacation trip to Southern France
after the coming Parliament session.
On the other hand, the Times says:
THE suggestion is hazarded that
after next weeks conferences with NJ.
BRAND Mr.. Lloyd George might not
deem the moment inopportuuC to lay
the whole question Of the needs Of shat
tered Europe before President Harding
who undoubtedly has the warmcst SYM
rathy for the stricken Continent.
"Should Mr. Lloyd George take the
initiative in appealing to him 70 sum-
mon another conference 10 consider
world economic and financial condi-
tions. the appeal, it is thought. might
not be unnvniling.
1t is believed in any case that the
conversations between TIE British and
French Prcmiers next week will take
a wider range than the single question
of German rcparationS. aud this sup
position is largely the basis OF today's
press speculation concerning a possible
new conference in America.
The Daily Telegraph while not re-
Tarding such conference as yet more
than an idea. says the idea has very
considerable popular support.
The Morning Posts financial editor,
forecnsting some sort of international
economic conference before long says !:
"Such a conference, if participated IN
by America, would undoubtedly be n

BIVALVE, n. j., Sept. 1.-The arts
tocratic oyster will be selling at pre-
war prices when the season for the
festive bivalve opens today.
Stews, frys, raws and oysters in all
other styles should. be cheaper at the
restaurants, cafes and the oyster
houses this season. Shippers an.
nounce that there will be a cut in the
wholesale price, while the cost of milk
crackers. butter and labor have also
taken a tumble.
Consequently the oyster epicure may
expect big creamy stew, with lots
of oysters and a big bowl of crackers
on the side, for 30 or 80 cents.
AS a result of the warmer weather.
the demand for oysters at the very
opening of the season is not expected
to be as large as was figured when the
weather was cool. The oyster trade
will not be brisk until snappy weather
comes.
Only part of the big fleet Of 400
boats will start dredging tomorrow in
the Maurice river cove. The crews
are all ready to start off for the beds
and some Of the boats left their docks
this evening.
