PRESSING DAD PRETTY FAR
Youths Last Question Certainly Might
Have Been Called Pointed and
Personal.

A most promising youth recently
sought information from his father
touching family affairs:
Dad" said he, "do you" like
mother?"
"Why. what a question: OF course.

"And she likes you?"
II am certain she does"

Thousands of times, my son."
eDid she marry you because she
loved you?"
Whereupon dad became angry, and
said:
"See here. young man, you're getting
entirely too personal. But | don't
mind telling you that she did"
The boy scrutinized his parent close
ly, and after a pause added:
'"Tell me this, dad: Was ma as near
sighted then as she is now?"

He was assured that he could. and
that he could get a decent-sized crop

me to believe that can grow as many

the future than probably at any time
in the past. The desire for personal

source of wealth is the land itself.
That is the solution. During the era

There has been no undue imitation,
though, and prices today are very rea-

FINANCIERs LITTLE INTEREST ED IN BIG GERMAN BOND IS-
 SUE
(By Chas. McCann.0

United Press Staff Correspondent.)
 London, June 10-As soon as is practicable" after July 1, the first lot of Germany's S33,000, 0,000,000 re- parations bond issue will be offered to the world in the open market.
 So far, there is little to be learned as to when "as soon as practicable" means.
 The first instalment of the bonds -S3, ,000, 00,000-will be delivered to the Preparations Commission on July 1. A second instalment is due November 1 of $9,500, 0,000,OOO. At the same time Germany is to deliver third series, totaling $20,500,000,- 900, until the Preparations Commis- sion decides Germany is able to pay interest and sinking fund from her stated annual payments of $500,- 100000 and a twenty-six per cent tax on her exports.
 That represents total of $33, 3,000,- O0O,0O0 to be delivered. Not all of these will be issued. The ultimatum to Germany provided for payment of this sum in bonds, plus S75, 5,000,- 900 representing Belgium's debt to the Allies. From the total must be deducted the amount Germany has already rpaid in reparations-so far, 1 $2,000, 100000. The total to be is- sued will be roughly $31,750,OOO..
 The Preparations Commission will await a favorable opportunity to open the first of the bonds to the market, according to plans. Though procedure has not been definitely de- cided upon, it is thought they, as the central governing special body Twill be formed, comprising delegates from bond holding countries.
 The bonds represent Germany's total separations debt, and they or their value will be appointed by the i Commission among Allied and asso- 1 ciated countries to whom reparations are due.
 The solution contemplated is to permit the recipients of the bonds to do most of the marketing. or te hold the bonds as they choose. IT i this case precautions will be taker against possible dumping" by some country willing to accept too low a price for them.
 It is believed the first marketed will total from $5O,O0O,OO to $500, O0O,OO0. There is no authorative es innate so far, through it is certain the marketing will be as soon and a. for as great an amount as the Com mission thinks possible.

MANO' WARS BROTHER ONCE A FALSE ALARM, NOW

GREAT YEAR IN ATHLETICS
 FUR CALIFORNIA
(By Henry l.. Farrel.)

Limited Press Staff orrespondent.) )
 New York, June 10-Eight young huskies will have achance in Pough- huskies will have achance in Pough- the biggest noise of the collegiate year.
 If the California crew succeeds in winning the rowing championships, it will make three victories in the biggest classics of the season.
 A football championship, track championship and rowing champion ship in a row would give the Pacific Coast state something to crow about for a decade.
 California's victory over Ohio's State football team, of course, was the cause of great jubiliation on the coast, but the recent achievement in winning the track and field crown from the very best in the east, prob ably meant much more.
 The coast was tired of having their feats on the home track and field laughed at by the east with snickers about trick watches, pet judges, starters" and the like so when Cali fornia team came east with bare handful of men and beat the east on it's own soil it meant more than an ordinary victory.
 Wise followers of athletics figured the California team as having a great chance for the track championships when they looked over the well bal anced team that was being sent. It turned out just as was expected. Cali fornia won, not through any indivi- dual brillance, but through the con- sistent work of the whole team.
 The California crew which is to row in the Poughkeepsie regatta will have anything but an easy time to uphold the prestige of the coast on the eastern waters.
 The worlds champion Navy crew had most of it's cookiness knocked out by losing to Princeton in an ear ly race and can be counted upon to paddle a hard race.
 Columbia perhaps will be the hard est to beat. The New York universi- ty has one of the best crews of the season. Cornell and Syracuse also can be counted on for good perfor- nance as race.
