This entertainment was a scream

On Saturday evening we had

This was a treat that reaches

The past week has been
known as Good English week"
in M. 7. N, and many splendid

the platform during the Chapel

The LATEST POLITICAL
FAD-.CREAT STUFF.
Other Washington New.

f~~esE5 wa o4s AO
latest national political fad is the
holding of conferences. The
conference is now the most pop.
ular of all indoor sports, and life
at the Capital of the Nation is
just one conference after an
other.
When Senator Borah, the big
outstanding, outspoken Senator
from Idaho, introduced his reso.
luton for Disarmament Confer
encc. he started something. One
conferende now treads upon the
heels of another, and this is only
the beginning.
Something is wrong! The ad-
ministration is up a stump" and
doesn't know what to do; let's
call a conference; let's assemble
the best minds" have warm
handshake. have our pictures
taken with our genial Chief
Executive in the center, palaver
and pow WOW for few days,
and then "all aboad for Gods
country" which means home to
the average man.
Then what happens? Nothing
whatever. Oh, yes. there are
the resolutions which have been
passed. Resolutions are mostly
like good intentions they make
good paving material in a warm
climate.
And so it came to pass that
after the unemployment question
settled and everybody had a job
and was back to work except
the exservice men who tramp
around here, some of them in
rags, and get turned down every
where they go, just as Will Hays
turns them down when they
want to be Postmasters after
they get the highest rating
following the unemployment con
ference, the Great Conferer|
calls an agricultural conferenc.
More handshakes, more White
House receptions, more group
photographs, more palavers, etc,
etc. Oh yes, and more resolu-
tons. Great stuff! Back to|
normalcy.
Republican economy has gone
to such furious lengths that Sec.
retary Mellon announces that
there can be no bonus this year
because there is going to be a
deficit of three hundred millions
of dollors at the end of the fiscal
year, which is June 80 next, at
midnight. Makes it look dark
for the boys who went to France.

Works of New York City finds

when will prosperity return for

can't fad work?

BOYS THRIVED ON
 LOST GOLF BALLS

Pittsburgh. Pa, Sept s.-Golfers On the Municipal links have just come into their own through the aid of Su- perintendent of Parks George w. Burke and Magistrate Tensard De- wolf. of Morals Court A pernicious practice by caddies and other bad boys has been stopped Since the sea- son opened this year golfers who hit the ball out of sight or off the course have been obliged to say Good -by!'' to those balls. But in a few minutes the caddies or some other kid would sell the lost bail back to the golfer ian for ten cents. Superintendent Burke declares that a lot of boys hid in the bushes or tall grass and grabbed a good many balls and re- sold them over and over again. It Ae- veloped into a thriving business and a costly nuisance.
 FIeneeforth all sellers of balls will be arrested if they cannot prove an honest title to same. Golfers buying stolen balls will be barred from the links. And anybody brought before me in this connection I'm going to give a maximum sentence," said the Magistrate.

 The man operating the piano must have a trained ear for nu[c, seeing that it is his business to listen for the slightest discords. If the metal rings harm oEiusly with the piano note all is well; the least flaw will result in diseord.
 Defects that are hardly to be mo- ticed by the ordinary method of ham merins are at once evident when the piano test is employed.

MEN'S FASHIONS
 TO "TIGHTEN UP''

London. Sept. s.-Fashion experts have decided that there must be a general frightening in mems fashions this fall, and the dress as you please habit of Englishmen to- day must be stopped for good and all.
 Forma1ity of the 1914 type is to come with unerring severity. espe- cially as regards evening clothes.
 Opera hats must be worn and the slack substitution of other hats will net be tolerated.
 Soft-fronted evening shirts will only be worn at informal gatherings in pri%ate houses, and a visit to the the atre with a mixed party will entail full evening dress for the men.
 The single knot evening tie is ex- pected to have a greater vogue than ever.
 Taffeta will enjoy great vogue flor shirts and pajamas. A new cinnamon brown is to be introduced into the striped variety of shirts.
 Aerial blue will be the last word for fashionable socks, while the check tie after popularity lasting three years will disappear.

 What lot they are And hew they have made good, those who finished their pre- paratory work here, those who took year or two in the big schools before entering college, and those who went directly into busi- ness! I was checking them up the other day; and I enjoyed it. they are really running their towns One third of the boys have gone to Yale; and forty other colleges and technical schools are amae matres to the rest.
 AS in your own day, the older students are going strong commonly saving one year out of four, and often saving two years; and inc opportunities to those who are one two. or three years below hgh-school grade, are even greater. We probably @do per sonal work to-day with every student; and this combined with the class and group work, yields the largest returns The morning, afternoon, and evening sessions will be tnued this year. beginning the usual Wednesday, the 2Oth of September.

commissioner Wade expressed
disappointment at the huge total for
this December since he says the to-

starting at Wilson with $36O,OO0 and
with three days intermission for
Christmas, continuing to the end of

of 100000. For the State at large

Never before have so few fires or in

with the Christmas festivities, includ-
ing New Years Day.

sixteen points. For Elm City Braswell

RESIGNATION OF
BRAND WAS THE
ONLY STEP LEFT

CONTINUED From Page One.)
bringing of America into the Genoa
conference was the very first stumb-
ling block the Poincare party would
encounter. The United States must be
convinced that the Genoa meeting
actually intends to relieve the eco
nomic distress of Europe before at
tendance will be assured. And it is
the fundamental belief of the officials
here that German reparation pay
ments must be adjusted before any
thing feasible can be considered
along other economic lines
Another factor which is expected
to moderate the Poincare policies
and show the new party what BRAND
was up against is the British atti-
tude toward Germany. The growing
commercial friendship between Ger
many and Britain was the first source
of Anglo-French discord. Prime
Minister Lloyd George did not hesi-
tate to show France that if the
latter insisted upon a policy that
might bankrupt Germany, the Brit
ish would not play along with the
French but would come to the moral
support of Germany. 1t is an open
secret that American officials concur
in the views of Lloyd George and
that the moral support of America
and Great Britain will be found on
the side of Germany in the repara-
tions controversies of the immediate
future. Premier BRAND tried to
head it of by closer relations with
Britain and modified policy on re-
parations. His opponents called this
a surrender. He gave up the fight
by resigning and permitting his poll
tlcal opponents to try their hand
When they come face to face with ali
the factors-the British leaning to-
ward Germany and Russia, the Amer,
ican concurrence in the British views
ON European economic reconstruc.
tion and the tendency of the largest
creditor nation in the world-the
United States to stand aloof while
France gropes for a stable policy

France will make her viewpoint con
form to that of the other powers and
