i. s. NOT TO JOIN
IN GENOA PARLEY,
OFFICIALS INDICATE

Indications were given in official
circles today that the United States
is adverse to participation in a gen.
eral European economic conference.
time set for the Genoa gathering, but
would look with more favor on a
conference to be held at a later date.
The Genoa meeting, it was asserted
would be in position to obtain more
satisfactory results, in the opinion
of some government officials. If more
time were given for conditions in
Europe to stabilize.
The Genoa conference is scheduled
to open March s.
International Good Sought.
The United States, high officials ex-
planned, probably would be glad to
take part in a later conference from
which some international good could
be expected, but would hardly be-
come a party TO a gathering at which
individual interests might be seeking
individual ends.
This view. of course, officials de-
c,ared, would be this country's gen.
eral attitude toward any conference
of an economic nature without
especial reference to the Genoa as
sembly, but 1t was indicated that this
country as yet had not received full
information regarding the questions
which would or would not be taken
up for deliberation.
May Postpone Farley.
There has been no official intima-
tion of a possible postponement OF
the date Of the Genoa conference, but
in official circles the belief was ex-
pressed that the supreme council may
decide to postpone the meeting.

WITHOUT FEAR OF LAW
COURT ORDERS "IVOR!ES"
INTO PLAY TO SETTLE
CRAPSHOOTERS' TERMS
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWBERN. N. c., January &C.
A practical application Of the pro-
verbal joke told on the late Judge
Crutchfield of Richmond. Va. in
regard to his method of sentence
ing "crapshooters" was made by
Judge Edward L. Stewart, recor-
der of Beaufort county court. when
he let five negroes charged with
gambling sentence themselves
with their own dice.
When the negroes pleaded guilty
TO the charge Judge Stewart
asked one of them for the cubes,
which were quickly produced. He
told them he would let each de-
fendaEt roll the bones one time
and would sentence them to serve
as many months on the road as
the dice indicated. The negroes
began to roll and talk to the dice,
and they received sentences rang
ing from three to twelve months
on the chaingang.
Judge Stewart later changed the
sentences to fines.

PRESIDENT T00PEN
FIGHT FOR j. s. AID
TO AMERICAN SHIPS
Message to Congress Soon
Will Propose Indirect and
Direct Help.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Harding will go to Con-
gross in fortnight and read a special
message advocating government aid
to an American merchant marine.
After. several months of study, a
plan has been completed which takes
into account many of the traditional
prejudices against ship subsidies and
attempts at the same time to save
the American government from i'm
mense loss In the future on the ships
involuntarily placed in Its possession
daring the war.
Limitation Of the profits that can be
made BY private operators is one
feature. and a system OF indirect as
well as direct aids is another.
May Approve Lasker Plan.
The President very likely will give
his approval to the Lasker plan.
which contemplates putting the
American merchant marine on pay
ing basis in a short time by means Of
temporary subsidy. 1t means that
instead Of a permanent subsidy. the
plan when worked out will within ten
years make 1t possible for American
ships to operate without direct aid.
The plan looks toward the stimuia-
tion of the American merchant marine
rather than to permanent bountieS.
The President has approved the
deep waterways project whereby the
great lakes will be closer to the
ocean.going trade and get the direct
rine. This will probably insure the
support of the agricultural middle
west, which has hitherto been luke
warm to subsidy programs.
The subject will be a non-parttsan
one. as leading democrats like sena-
tor Ransdell of Louisiana and other
members of Congress from southern
states with ocean ports will be vi
tally interested in the success OF the
program.
Philippine Trade Coastwise.
Briefly. the system Of indirect aid
contemplates an amendment to ex-
listing law whereby traffic to and
from the Philippines shall be consid-
cred as "coastwIse trade" Only
American ships can ply in coastwise
trade, and the inclusion of the Phil
ippines in coastwise trade will mate
rally help American ships plying
through the Panamascana1 and from
Pacific ports to the Philippines.
Similarly it is intended to give
American ships the business hitherto
done by the Army transport service.
Also it, will be provided by law that
at least SO per cent of the immigrants
coming to the United States shall
travel in American ships. =
/ These three systems Of indirect aid
will in many cases bring fn enough
revenue to enable private American
ship companies to operate at a profit
without any further government aid.
The hope is that eventually all ship
ping concerns will be able to get
along with indirect aid.
The governments plan contem-
plates a system Of automatic diminu-
tion Of direct aid as soon as revenue

nothing about 1t to your wife. Of surprised-and pleased-when she finds her friends all gathered here in honor of her birthday"
 That's a fine idea!' cried Paddy Muskrat as a look of relief came over | his troubled face, Whom shall ask to the surprise party?'
 Haven't you any relations?" Jim my inquired.
 Dozens of 'em" Paddy answered. ! But my wife doesn't care for them"
 Then you can't invite them" Jim my Rabbit said. Hasn't your wife any relations"
 Hundreds" Paddy replied. But I don't like 'em." Well, all this made matters rather hard for Jimmy Rabbit. But he was no person to give up puzzle just be- cause it wasn't easy to solve,
 What about friends?' he asked. Haven't you and Mrs. Muskrat plen- ty of friends that aren't related to either of you?"
 ITO be sure. To be sure" Paddy exclaimed. There's Uncle Jerry Chuck I'll ask him. And there's Uncle Sammy Coon. I'll ask him. Then I musnt forget old Mir. Crow"
 Pm afraid your party will end in quarrel" Jimmy observed They're very empered-those three. Can't you think of somebody else?"
 Well" said Paddy, there's Tim othy Turtle"
 Hes the most quarrelsome person in the whole neighborhood." Jimmy exclaimed. Don't invite him
 Hell come, anyhow" Paddy re- piled. Hes spending a few days in the mill pond. No one could keep him away from the party"
 Try as he could, Paddy Muskrat could think of nobody to invite that wasn't grouchy.
 Haven't you any friends any where, who would help to make your party jolly?" Jimmy besought him.
 No" said Paddy Muskrat
 Think hard-and look at mel Jimmy urged him.
 Paddy Muskrat stared at him for long time But he said never a word. His mind worked very, very slowly.
 "When are you going to have the party " Jimmy asked him finally.
 Tomorrow evening""

 I'm pleased to accept" Jimmy Rabbit told him with smile. And since everything was settled. he hop ped away,
 "There'll be fun at the surprise party" Jimmy chuckled, There's sure to be row; and I don't want to miss it."
 The next evening an odd company gathered on the bank of the mill pond. There wasn't q single merry person present except Jimmy Rab- bit Even Paddy Muskrat looked glum,
 Where's Mrs. Muskrat? Why isn't she at her party?" Jimmy asked.
 My wife has gone of to visit her mother" Paddy explained, She said she wouldn't De back until tomor- row"
 Then bring on the refreshments at once" Uncle Jerry Chuck squealej.
 Paddy Muskrat looked at Jimmy Rabbit helplessiy
 What shall do7" he asked.
 Have the party tomorrow night" Jimmy told him.
 At that moment Timothy Turtle grabbed Uncle Sammy Coon by the tail. I'm going to have my refresh ments tonight" he muttered.
 Order! Order gentleman" Mir CroY saualled. This is Paddy Musk rats party"
 Mir. Crow never finished his re- mark. For at that moment Paddys wife, with her mother, appeared on the bank Of the mill pond,
 Whats thisy' she cried. "A party when I'm away"
 Her mother looked coldly at the guests and her son-in-law.
 50 th!s"-she exclaimed-"this is what your husband does the moment your back is turned! He gives party for a crew of his rowdy cronies."
 Poor Paddy Muskrat! He didn't know what to say. Jimmy Rabbit hastened to speak for him.
 Your husband wanted to surprise you" he told Paddy's wife. This is your birthday and he wanted to celebrate.'
 "A fine story." Mrs. Muskrat's mother scotfed. "come." she said to Paddy's wife Come home with me ard leave these persons to wrangle here all night if they wish to-"
 So the ladies left the party.
 She won't be back for a week." Paddy walled
 Pooh What do you care?" Uncle Jerry Chuck asked him.
 "I'll have to take all the care of our six children" Paddy explained Send them to their grandmoth- er's!" cried Uncle Sammy Coon.
 And that's just what Paddy did that very evening.
 So he surprised his wife twice on her birthday. And that was even more than he expected, because-as he had said--she was a hard one to surprise Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan

MRS. MUsKRAT's BIRTHDAY.

Paddy Musckrat wanted to give his wife a surprise. He always liked to do something specially nice for Mrs Muskrat on her birthday, which wasn't far off.
 Not being a person of many ideas Paddy Muskrat was puzzled. So he was glad when Jimmy Rabbit ap- peared on the bank of the Hnill pond where the Muskrat family made their home. When you didn't know what to do, Jimmy Rabbit could alway. help you.
 Jimmy listened while Paddy Musk rat told him his story
 How about a surprise party?' Jimmy asked brightly.
 Paddy Muhkrat shook his head. My wife is hard one to surprise, |" he replied. I've tried good ncany times to fool her. But somehow she always knows what's in my mind"
 You don't understand what mean" Jimmy Rabbit told him. Give her party; but don't tell her about it."
 Paddy Muhkrat wrinkled his low forehead as he studied the plan.
 She wouldn't like that" he ob- jected at last. If l gave her party and didn't invite her to it, I'd never hear tbe last of it."
 Jimmy Rabbit smiled.
 You don't quite get my meaning yet" he said. Invite people to a party here at the mill pond. Say

CONNIE LOST IN WHIRL
 GIANT CITY.

| CONNIE has just been married to l FRED. auto salesman for the Gypsy Moto, l Company, whose employers have sent hin | 10 New York. Freds cortinua! talk e,
 his business, even dufing the honeymoon camping trip, begins to weary Connie.
 GO ON WITH THE STORY.
 Comics tiny cloud at the way Fred's thoughts of home turned ever toward New York soon passed drowned out by the big metropolis itself when the Dales arrived in their Gypsy two weeks later
 For hours they drove about the gradually intensifying city before they reached its heart, Automobile Row, where the Gypsy salesrooms and Fred's offices were located.
 Members Of the selling force who had been notified by President Owens of the Dales' coming, had prepared everything but home for them. The right hotel had been found, dates for the first few evenings entertainment made and even several apartment prospects hunted up.
 Be interested in us" ran the com pany's slogan, and we'll return the compliment"
 It gave Connie a thrill of pride, therefore. in Fred and his employers, when with thier arrival at the New York salesroors the major part Of the selling staff turned out for them.
 Fred, fiery with pleasurable em- harrassment, was introduced to a dozen men at time, and in turn in- troduced his blushing bride
 For the next few days Connie was in an excited whirl. Their room on the eighteenth floor of a marvellous hotel; the exciting hunt for an apart ment-Connies sentimental dream of a white colonial cottage had to be postponed till their plans were more settled, she decided--the heavenly theaters and after-theater dancing and jazz; the thrilling swirl and clangor of life in the heart of New York; the giant shops; the seeing-the- town rides on bus tops, pee-ing into second-story windows as they iiggled along by the lovely Hudson's rim; the salesmen friends of Fred's with their sauve sophistication all stirred Connie into a state of mental chaos. She was living at too breathless a pace to form any judgments as yet.
 When she did find anything that made her uneasy she sensibly dis missed her misgivings, telling herself everything was in so temporary a state that worry was useless.
 It was not till the following Mon day Fred's work would begin, and
