Tells Latin American DipIO-
mats Worlds Nervous Sys-
tenn Needs Calm.

PARIS, Feb. 22 (Associated Press) -
Speaking at the banquet of the Amer
lean Club tonight, Ambassador Her
rick, alluding to the sensitiveness
which nations, like individuals, feel as
regards disagreeable criticism, said he
hoped every newspaper Office would
hang up the sign: "A kind word
turneth away wrath" until the worlds
present disturbed nervous system was
rehabilitated.
The Minister Of Finance, Charles de
Lasteyrie. said he was confident that
the cooperation of the two great
democracies of the world would con-
tribute immensely to the settlement of
the grave problems of the moment and
restore the balance of the world.
France had been represented as mill
taristic, but, he declared, you who
live here among our bereavements know
we'll that all we want is peace such as
Washington would have wanted"
Representatives of fifteen Central and
South American countries attended a
ION > lunCNeOn given
in their honor by Mr.. Herrick.
The diplomats cabled the following
message of friendship to President Har-
ding and the American people:
The representatives of the Latin
American nations, gathered together in
the American Embassy at the invitatio n
OF the distinguished Ambassador to eel.
ebrate the anniversary of George Wash
ington's birthday. send their greetings
to His Excellency the President of the
United States and express their most
ardent wishes for his personal happi-
ness and for the welfare and prosperity
of the great nation for which the Amer
lean democracies feel the most profound
admiration and cordial and unaltera BILE
friendship"
Rafael Martinez Ortiz. the Cuban Min
ister, replying to Ambassador Herrick.
spoke on the friendship between the
United States and South American
countries. and declared 1t could be said
without fear OF contradiction that no
country, large or small, had ever ap-
pealed to the United States In vain.
Proof of this fact, he said, was the ex-
istence OF so many small states at the
very door of the American republic
This statement was loudly applauded bv
all the representatives from Central and
South American countries

BOYS CONFERENCE
MAY COME HERE
Churches to Decide Whether AccommO-
dations for About 500 Can Be Sc
cured-Tentative Dates.

The probability of Brattleboro being
selected as the meeting place of the an
nual boys conference of the state Y.
NJ c. A.. received a further impetus last
night when Byron Clark, state secre-
taTy of the \. II. G.. A.. met at the
Brooks House several of the local
clergymen and individuals representing
the local churches and other organiZa-
tionS About Il men from Brattleboro
were present, the meeting being devoted
to an outline by Mr.. Clark showing what
Brattleboro will have to do if the con-
ference is held here.
The conference is scheduled for next
January and the tentative dates are from
the 18th to the 14th About 500 boys
from all sections of the state are eX-
pected. The outstanding requirement is
that Brattleboro furnish a banquet TO be
participated in by the 500 boys and that
suitable entertainment in Brattleboro
homes be furnished the boys during their
stay here. In addition, the local commit
tee will furnish the place of meeting and
the necessary music for the various get
together meetings.
c. l.. Stickney was elected temporary
chairman and the various members of
the committee who are to take the mat
ter for approval or disapproval before
their respective organizations will report
to him as to their success as soon as
possible.
All speakers and the general program
for the convention will be furnished by
the state organization. Mr.. Clark told
of the success attained at Barre, where
the conference was held last year, and
it was felt by the local committee that
if the movement was supported ener-
getically here a similar if not greater
success could be attained here in Brat
tleboro.

REST ROOM TAG
DAY SATURDAY
Increased Amount Needed This Year
Because of Necessary Advance in
Running Expenses.

Twelve months have passed since the
assistance of the public has been sought
for funds with which to carry on the
work of the Brattleboro rest room,
which was first opened to the public
about Ia years ago and which since that
time has rendered invaluable service to
thousands of persons in this and sur
rounding towns.
The rest room officials have set next
Saturday, Oct 81, as the date for the
tag day to secure funds for the coming
years work and ask for an increased
amount this year because of necessary
increases in the running expenses
A budget of $500 was necessary the
first year the room was in use, but since
that time the annual budget has in
creased gradually until 81 800 or more
win be needed this year
Last year about $3.50 was netted from
the tag sale, which with the other con
tributiOns and the regular income from
the rest room work has enabled the man
agement to meet the demands made upon
the treasury and come through the year
with all bills paid.
substantial increase. however, viii
be necessary this year to e1able the or
ganlZation 10 maintain its present quar-
terS and carry on the work which has
developed to such proportions since the
room was established.
The management bespeaks the same
generous response to the appeal of can
yasserS Saturday as has been accorded
them in years past.
While the list of tag sellers has not
been completed it has been decided defin.
itely that no small boys will be allowed
to participate in the work this year.

About 5000 yards of paving will be
laid, beginning at Bridge street and ex-

1t is understood that the parking place
in front of the union passenger station
will not be paved at this time, although
it would be an advantage 10 theSpubhc
to have it done.
