The Ineyhaustible Inventor.

In enumerating some of the strange
patents sanctioned by the patent of
nee, an attorney, quoted In the New
York Evening Post, mentions tor
nado-proof house, the invention of a
New England man. II is built on a
pivot. so that every breeze turns it
with Its head TO the wind. Among
other inventions Is pedal calorifica-
tor" with which anyone can blow
upon his toes to warm them. II Is
tube, worn under the clothes. with a
branch leading to each foot and
mouthpice at the top.
Then there is polisher for false
teeth-merely the end of corncob
on stick; a sanitary pocket for car
rying chewing gum; wooden bit for
preventing snoring; a noiseless alarm
clock that yanks the sleeper's arm
instead of ringing. and another which
starts a mechanism that throws him
out OF bed; and a machine for count
ing eggs as they are laid.

All OF u sudden Peggy.

! The play, All OF a Sudden Peggy
given by the senior class last even
ing at the Strand Theater was emf
nently successful By many in the
audience il was pronounced the best
home talent play ever given in Mon
roe, The story. which was clean and
wholesome to marked degree, cen
tered around the impulsiye actions of
All OF a sudden Peggy. an American
girl. This part was played splendidly
by Miss Rose Penegar. The Hon.
Jimmy keppel, played in a capable
manner by Mr.. Roland Beasley, was
the hero. who helped Peggy to carry
out her plan TO marry her mother,
Mrs, o Mara, TO Lord Anthony Crack
enthorp. in order that Peggy herself
might be free for her career as a
novelist Mr.. Ira Tucker as Anthony
gave great characterization of the
proverbial absent-minded student of
science. Sharing honors with Mr.
Tucker were Miss Lucy Lee as Lady
Crackenthorp the aristocratic and
somewhat snobbish mother of An
thony and Jimmy, and Mr.. Ogburn
Yates as Major Archie Phipps. Mr..
Yates gave finished and mirth-pro-
voking impersonation of the mon
ocleG, dash it all'' Englishman,
somewhat stupid. but at all times
concerned 'for the good of the fam
lily" The supporting cast was also
of high character of excellence
This cast was as follows. Mrs.
0Mara-Miss Berta Allen Houston:
The Hon. Millicent Keppel-Miss
Eleanor Armfeld; Jack Menzies--
Mr.. Garah Caldwell; Parker-Mr.
Pete Russell; Lucas-Mr. John Ho-
beika. The unusual and captivating
developments provoked by the sud-
senness of Peggy and the finished
of each of the young
people made the play most enter
aiming one. Much OF the success is
lue to the efforts Of Miss Mary Cor
Ion. and her efficient assistants, the |
ligh school teachers.

Paris, Sept. 23.-The guiding prin-
ciple of Frances policy at the Wash
inton conference in regard to land
disarmament will be based upon her
geographical position-forced to live
beside an active and powerful here
ditary enemy in Germany.
Another almost equally moving
factor is that great political enig-
ma of Europe Russia. French
statesmen forsee the ever-present
possibility that at some future time
Germany and Russia may join forces
either militarily or economically,
or both, and at one stroke upset all
plans. With the present Bolshevik
regime in power, France knows that
she has in Russia a potential
emmy. Whether the enmity will con-

the matter OF land disarmament.
However In the interests OF the
general world welfare and in the
hope that some formula will be
worked out that might permit a
lifting OF some OF the burdens Of
armaments without affecting nation
al security. France -is willing TO
participate in good faith.
But the French delegation will go
to the conference with one unalter-
able reservation on land disarma.
ment and one unanimous mandate
from the nation. That IL. that no
arrangements will be entered into
that would in any way compromise
the national security of France.

something new for the army this
new device is sent to this battalion
