ming. Every seat was soon filled
So was the available standing room.
The audience was not kept wait
ing long. The curtain went up.
From the very top of the house a
spotlight" was trained on a fran
ed document on the stage. 1t car
ried the duly certified information
that S. r. Satterfeld and Emma ].
Bonebrake had been married at
Claremont, Okla, and the names of
the officiating clergyman and the
witnesses were very plainly to be
seen and read.
Then Satterfield came forward.
But let him tell his o~n story as
he did standing in front of his
store here today wearing the smile
that won't come off"
Everybody's Happy.
'I told that bunch that it was too
bad that a man and his wife at
tending strictly to their own bust
ness IN town as good as Caney
could not escape the gossip of
weak-mlnded men and women" he
said. And they took their medi-
cine. After it was all over they
came up to the stage and shook
hands with Mrs. Satterfeld and
myself. A few had the decency to
admit they were sorry they had re-
peated the gossip.
Il don't believe we will have any
more trouble. 1 am no reformer.

seek little legitimate publicity at

themselves trouble.

JAP WANTS TO
GET DECREE OF
FISH DOCTOR
Serious Much That
No University In
structs FISH

New York, April 25.-Masunosuka
kaZawa, formerly of Japan, more
recently of Seattle, and now of New
York, wants to be a doctor of fish.
He does not crave an NJ. D. nor a
want to own degree for research
in fishes-any fish will do, but he
specializes in gold fish.
Somewhere in Japan, or Seattle,
he heard that Columbia University
supplies courses on any subject
under the sun, SO Kazawa came
and requested that the university
allow him to work for his degree
as doctor of fish. But microscopic
study of the curriculum showed
nothing in the line of fish. kazawa
retired, disappointed.
Picks New York.
why do you not teach fishes
here?" he sorrowed. You have

no doctor of fishes l want TO

am sure there is more chance to
study fish in New York than any
where else"
kazawa already has two fish de-
grees from the Imperial University
in Sapporo, master of fish and mas
ter of science in marine products.
He knows all about fish culture and

French Want 48-Hour
Ultimatum to Russia
Or Will Quit.

London, April 25.-There is re
liable information, declares a Cen
trail News dispatch from Genoa
that NJ. Barthou, of the French dele
cation, received telegraphic in
structions to insist at the conference
upon the terms contained in Pre-
mier Poincare's speech of Monday
The French delegation, says the
message, has declared it will press
for a 48-hour ultimatum to Russia
or else break from the conference
altogether.
Premier Poincare's speech
created Gxeat CONSERVATION in con
ference circles, it added.
Genoa, April 25.-Foreign Min
lister Tchitcherin of soviet Russia
declared to the Associated Press
today that allied resistance to the
Russian principal of nauonallza-
ton was blocking the economic con-
ference.
1T is obvious" he said, that the
only serious obstacles to peace with
Russia and general reconstruction
are the pretentions of few former
owners of property in Russia"
Genoa, April 25.-The Genoa con-
ference is drifting towards the
rocks again. Whether it can be
kept from wreck. depends upon the
possibility of adjusting the new
demands of the Russian soviet dele
gates with the position of the allied
governments, who declare they will
stand by the resolutions adopted al
Cannes. on which the conference Is
founded.
The situation is made more crit
ical by the French premier's frank
warning in his address at Bar-le-
Due yesterday, that France Will
withdraw from the conference If she
is unable to see that the ideas ex-
pressed by the French cabinet be-
fore parliament can triumph.
French are Adamant.
These French practical demands
include maintenance of the wal
reparations figures, ,disbarment OF
all disarmament discussion and nc
changing of existing treaties at
Genoa. In addition, France insists
on rigid adherence to the Cannes
resolutions, which call for the pay
ment of Russia's pre-war debts
and the restitution by the soviet
of foreigners property in Russia
The conference of experts on the
Russian question broke up yester-
day and adjourned sine die because
the experts representing the powers
found the Russians new set of pro-
posals in contradiction to the soviet
note accepting the allies terms as a
basis for future deliberations.
Pass Buck to Z. s.
While the bolsheviki have given
up their counter claims for dam
ages charged to foreign interven-
ton in Russia, the story went the
rounds of the delegation last night
that they will hold the United
States morally responsible for the
presence of the Japanese troops
in Siberia, since the Japanese oc-
cupied the territory not only CO.
jointly with American troops, but
actually at the request of the
American government.
In that case" one of the jap
anese said, jokingly, ''if the boil
sheviki hand us a bill, we will
have to pass it on to the United
States government"

Washington, u. e., April 10
Financial phases of world recon-
struction are developing which may
bring the United States into active
cooperation with the economic
forces OF Europe.
Although the official invitation to
the federal reserve board to par
ticipate in a conference of banking
institutions to be called by the
Bank of England has not yet reach
ed here, the tact of It's coming is
confirmed. The acceptance will
naturally be discussed by Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon with Sec
retary of State Hughes to determine
whether the foreign policy of the
government here would permit
american representation. lnas-
much as the conference merely
will discuss plans and will not be
binding upon the representatives
without the consent OF their home
governments, little doubt is ex-
pressed that the American federal
reserve system will send a repre-
sentative. Very little is known of
the Bank of England's plans for
the conference and it may be that
the detectives sought cannot be
given American support. For this
reason it is expected that an out
line Of what is sought to be ac-
eomplished will be submitted in ad-
vance so that President Harding
and Secretary Hughes may know
fha nF
First Plan Failed.
The Bank of England last year
projected a plan for the financing
uf central Europe by means of
loan to Austria, it being consider
ed advisable to use Vienna's bank
ing machinery as means of reach
ing the smaller countries which
have grown out of the former Aus
tro-Hungarian empire. The scheme
failed because the reparatious
cbmmission declined to give a pri
GRITTY ON indemnity payments to
central Europe. Austrian exchange
was disastrously affected by the
incident. -
So far as known the new plan
is TO. stabilize exchange. 1t is not
thought that the various paper cur
rencies of Europe can be brought
back 10 their normal value by any
artificial measures but it is never
theless confidently believed that
something can be done to stabilize
and thus prevent marked fluctua-
tons especially with the certainty
of big international loan which
will take care of the obligations of
Germany.
Morgan Bid o. KID.
lnasmuch as the governments
themselves will be parties to the
making of the big loan, they must
consider the effect on exchange
and act accordingly. The Bank of
England and the banks of the
other countries engaged on the al
lied side in the war acted together
10 prevent exchange fluctuations
during the war and something of
The same sort is expected now that
an approach is being made to the
financing of the greatest recon
struction era in world history.

Caney, Kan, April 25. Mrs.
Grundy has moved out of Caney.
Her whispering innuendo, sugges-
ton and eyelid lifting probably has
been banished for all time. And
S. r. Satterfeld, local merchant,
today is the hero of the village as
result.
The gossips had been very busy
at the sewing circles and similar
gatherings for some time. Mr.. and
Mrs. Satterfe1d had been the chief
subjects. Suggestions had been
made that there was a flaw" in
their marriage, and the extremely
prim element in Caney, a typical
southwestern town, raised their
eyebrows and drew their skirts
what there was of them-close to
their limbs whenever they passed
the happy pair.
Finally Satterfeld, who has a
reputation as a battler for his
rights, commenced an investiga-
ton. He located the source of the
rumors. His wife was very keenly
hurt. He wanted to start some
thing, but as he told his closest
friend, "one cannot smash a WON,

why not try publicity?" asked
the friend
/ Good idea, but how?" was the
response.

cars and varied forms of
amusements for the entertainment and relaxa-
ton of adult and child-which in themselves are
useful and innocent, have been seized by youth
full America as a means of satisfying its energy
and activity; and, because the parents unwit-
tingly and unknowingly have relaxed their super
vision, they have helped to relegate the home
into the background as an influencing factor in
the development of the chid's character.
If this is one reason for juvenile delinquency,
the remedy simply is to enhance the attractive
ness of the home and arouse the dormant par
entail care and supervision. If parents will make
center of activity out of their homes instead of
letting other things lure them away, the children
will soon realize the change that has taken place
and look to the home as the seat OF helpful coun-
sci and mutual assistance.
After parents have re-established themselves
in their own homes, the next step must be
friendly manifestation Of interest in the affairs
of their children and Of their companions. Faith
ers and mothers must seek the level of their
children so that they can understand and SYM
pathize with them. If they believe that parental
influence consists only in setting up a list Of
Dont's and of exercising dictatorial authority
over their offspring they are erring just as much
as do the parents who let their children pursue
their own way to ruin.
The average boy and girl who loses interest
in his home usually has parents who either have
many characteristics of househould dictators or
do not care whether their children mature into
creditable members of society.
Delinquency among boys and girls will disap-
pear in proportion to the genuine spiritual quail
tiles which parents manifest in their homes.
Education, music and art cannot supply that
quality for our home life. That is something we
must acquire and cultivate by contact with spirit
ual sources; something that will keep our boys
and girls on the right road to happiness and
success.
