She Objected at Last.

He had just gone into the grocery
business and did nothing except talk
"shop-shop- shop" when he went to
see his best girl. At first she endured
It because she did not wish to offend
him. later merely because she could
find no way to reprove him.
But her chance came. One night
when he was at her house he picked
up the telephone book and began
idly to glance through It. His idle
manner became one of interest as he
scanned one page. Then her wrath
overcame her 'It's been had enough
to hear you talk about nothing else

It's too much for you to come 10 my

ct Royal typewriter. The local office of
the Royal TypeW ritter Co., Inc, of II
Steuben Street, city, have just received
from their factory a shipment OF a few
of these machines.
The Royal Typewriter Co., Inc will
still continue the production Of the pres
ent Standard typewriter, and in addition
will manufacture a sufficient number Of
the special machines to fill all require
ments.
On interviewing their local manager,
Mr.. Alex R. Gaul, he states that they
are not attempting to market the special
Royal from the viewpoint Of its nechan-
zeal features which are noise reducing.
They intend to compete with the present
standard typcwriters and not only with
typeWriters in the nolseless field. The
special machine embCdles features en-
ploying the greatest possible refinement
in a typeWriting machine, which Incl
dentally brings it into the nOiseless class
and adds to its other qualifications that
of practical nOiseless operation, plus the
re6Rement in production and excellence
Of workmanship and material, brings
about not only the various advantages
of touch but incidentally freedom from
all Objectionable noise and operation.
The light running quiet action of the
machine brings with it a velvet or elastic
touch not approached in any other type
writer. The speed has been increased
very noticeably and the beauty of the
work, which has made the Royal famous
has also improved.
The Royal Typewriter Co.'S. local
branch office do not expect TO make de
~liveries on the new special machine until
the latter part of the month.
With the object Of oooking oroe~s
among those using and interested in
typewriter and who will be sure to give
preference to the best, Mr.. Cancryn ex-
poets one of these beautiful machines
which will be placed on demonstration
in St. Thomas and this island. I'D.

FRANCE REJECT GERMAN PLAN
ALL EYES ARE TURNED ON
WASHINGTON
The Occupation of 1uhr Basin Is In
eVitabIe, the Experts Of Europe
Believe.

Paris-The German counter-pro-
posals on reparations, as transmitted
to President Harding at washington
are absolutely unacceptable, and the
French ambassador to the United
States, M. Jusserand, has been noti-
fed to this effect.
The proposals are characterized by
Government officials as "a step back
ward" and are declared to give no
promise of a satisfactory settlement.
All eyes are now turned on Wash
ington where the counter-proposals
are under advisement, but no new
fact had developed to change the stu
alton as it concerns the attitude Of
France.
The general feeling is that occupa-
tion OF the Rhur region of Germany is
unavoidable, but it is believed in
some circles barely possible that in
some way the Berlin government may
be made to understand, through
Washington, the gravity of the situa-
tion and the essential fact that no
proposal can be considered by the
French government unless based on
the Paris conditions.
