COWBOY RIDES

Jim Taylor of Utah, Idaho and
, points west, is cattleman from the
2-inch heels of his boots to the SUI
gar loaf crown of his Stetson which
rises four or five inches above his
perspiring brow When he wants to
go anywhere he rides. Walking he
regards as an insult to tender feet
and expensive boots. Recently he
sailed fof England to dispose of a
shipment of polo ponies.
He booked passage on one of the
palatial Atlantic liners but once on
board he was thoroughly unhappy,
No, he wasn't sea sick. Cow camp
grub and pitching ponies had given

moaned to an English acquaintance
who had crossed dozen times. The
Englishman suggested there was
ample room for brisk walks along the
spotless decks. His suggestion was
received with a look of scorn and
loathing and he was given the in
formation that what Jim meant by
exercise was exercise in the saddle.
Without word the Englishman led
him to the ships gymnasium and
pointed to a contrivance bearing a !
saddle.
THAT machine" he said, will |

bly, get while riding horse. All you
have to do is to get on and press one
of these buttons"
'Whoopee,' yelled Jim. Gear her
high for l sure aims to ride wide
and handsome" He surged into the
saddle and the Englishman fled.
A half hour later the Britisher
again found Jim leaning discopsolate
ly on the rail.

"Flivver" AirpIanes.

From time to time photograph ap-
pears, depicting a new airplane of com,
pact dimensions and equipped with a
low-pOwer engine. Such airplanes are
generally hailed as "everybody's" air
plane and the coming "fiyyers" of the
air Yet an examination of these ma
chimes soon discloses the fact that
they are of little practical value. They
are TOO small to be steady in flight,
too lcw-powered to fly under moder-
ately adverse conditions, too flimsy to
last long and, taking it all in all, alb.
solutely worthless for serious work of
any kind. They should generally be
treated as novelties, except in rare

by the Harding Administration In
the Realm OF Foreign Affairs.

Washington. Of HOSTILE

1t was learned the state department
had dispatched to the governments Of
those two countries by Charles Evans
Hughes, the new secretary of state
This action was the first Of the
Harding administration in the realm
Of foreign affairs and was said TO
have been based on the grounds of
broad expediency, as the dispute be-
tween the Central American republics
involved American interests in the
Panama canal zone.
A peaceful solution of the dispute
over the territory Of Coto on the
basis of the White award is under
stood to have been suggested. The
notes did not suggest mediation by
the United States, but were under
stood to have conveyed the impress
sion that this country stood ready to

London. - German custom receipts
in the occupied territory would be
taken over as the first step in forcing
the payment of Germany's obligations

to this committee
Instructions given this committee
were in substance:
First - The allied governments de.
cline to discuss proposals advanced
with evident bad faith.
Second-Germany shall be remind
ed of her serious violations of the
peace treaty.
Third = The German government
shall be informed of immediate steps
the allies are determined to take in
