PESSIMIST LIFTS HIS VOICE

Strike and the world strikes with

souls are ablaze with the apathy craze,

Smile and you make no hit, for we've

Spend and the gang will cheer you,
save and you have no friend for we
throw our bucks TO birds and ducks
and borrow from all who'll lend.
Knock and you'll be winner. Boost

ways of the pre-war days are now

Title to a 70-acre tract was taken
by the Ford Motor company Dec 81
and the first of four proposed units,
which will cost $1,5O0,OO0 each, is ex-

U. S. TO SETTLE PREPARATIONS
Berlin and London Willing to Have
America Fix Charges

Washington-The move to extend
American aid in adjusting the repara-

reached a stage where a definite plan
of action may be decided on in the
near future.
AS it now is under consideration, the
proposal contemplates appointment of
an American commission to study
economic and industrial conditions
in Germany and to fix the total of
reparations which the German gov
ernment may reasonably be expected
to pay
Although all discussion of the pro-
ject has been of an unofficial char
acter, it is the understanding in
authoritative circles here that both
Great Britain and Germany are will
ing to accept the award of such a
commission.

FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-

eminent medical authority.
Science has found newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself
In perfect health natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of NujOl most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not a laxative
it cannot grippe. 1t Is in no sense
medicine. And like pure water it Is
harmless and pleasant.

There was an impression that the bill was one of the most radical ever presented to Congress. It was reported by the committee on agri- culture of which several southern democrats are members-Senators Smith of South Carolina, Harrison of Mississippi Heflin of Alabama, Ransdell of Louisiana, and Caraway of Arkansas. Senator Harrison de- clared that he opposed the bill while 1t was In committee.

.CLOE ORDINANCE ] [ N l ES PARTIES
 RIGHT OF APPEAL
Booming House Ordinance Rejected by Commissioners Will Be Again Presented.
 Has Stormy Career

Despite vigorous objections voiced by w F. Dickson and other com missioners, the rooming house ordi- nance of Commissioner ". B. Cloe will be presented to the commission Tuesday in It's present form, which denies right of appeal either to the commission or to the courts.
 This was learned Friday, after a conference between the public safety commi ssioner and w. J. Wynn, city attorney. Commissioner Cloe said he had reason to believe that the bill would pass.
 The ordinance VIII come up again Tuesday after having been twice presented, once abandoned, and near ly amended. It's stormy career began nearly three weeks ago, when it was first read to commissioners by the clerk. It caused an immediate re- action and schism in the ranks Of the commission, that resulted in it's being carried over to the next meet ing.
 When it was next presented, Com missioner Dickson created furor by charging that Commissioner Cloe was going to far with his program in denying right of appeal either to the city or to the commission of con- victed rooming house operators whose licenses have been revoked. Cloe retorted by charging the entire commission with failure to cooper | ate in his program.
 Cloe abandoned the ordinance when two measures were unearthed that were thought to cover the field. He was left without support, however, when these laws were thrown out
