believed this government will insist
that the Soviet agree to guarantee
life and property, the sanctity Of
the contracts and the rights of free

made requisite to American rec

Paris, May 1G-Thc French cab

delegates to The Hague to consider
the Russian question if the proposed
conference is in any way political.
If the conference is limited STRIFE

Hague conference comedies with
that of the American government.
He added that France had reached
her decision before learning what
the United States would do.

making possibility at a quarter-miie
until the Penn relay games recently.
Running as anchor man for SYRIA
cuse in the onc-mile- college relay
championship, Woodring got away
seven yards behind Bill Stevenson,
Princeton captain and the national
ouarter-nile champion. Woodrlng
ran him off his feet and won the race
after doing a quarter in the unottl-
cial time of AZ As, eQualling the
worlds record.
Considering the fact that the TIM
ers all caught him the same and that
the event was run late in the afteIc-
noon, ,when the track was choppe7del
to pieces by two days Of incessant
pounding and cutting, the perform
ance was phenomenal.
If he maintains the form he had
in that race, there is little doubt that
Woodring will be able to make new
record for the quarter on the Harvard
track in June, if he goes out for that
event in the Intercollegiate Champion
ships.

"RED FOAM" AT THE ELkO
THEATER AGAIN TONIGHT

A man and a woman handcuffcd
together stand at bay before a
bowling mob who seek their life.
The woman is given the key that
will release her and give her chance
for life and freedom, and-she
throws the key away!
This is the situation shown in the
new Selznick, Ralp Ince special,
"Red Foam,' which will be shown
tonight last times at the Elko
Theater, and seldom has the screen
reflected more poignantly dra-
matte moment.
Zena Keefe is the woman and
Huntley Gordon the man who is
placed in this precarious position
through sheer chivalry, a quality
one would not look for in the small
Missouri town in which W. H. Ham
by's stirring story is laid.
In addition to the players above
named, the cast includes Harry Zig
he, Freeman Barnes. Peggy Worth,
and several other we'll liked and
familiar photoplayers.

W00DRlNC NOW CALLED
FASTEST MAN IN WORLD
By Henry L. Farrell
Omitted Press Staff Correspond

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, May 16.-While sprint
records and field marks have been
consistently shattered in the past two
years, the quarter-mile record OF
az as seconds made by the great
Ted Meredith in 1916 is one of the
few that have remained beyond the
reach of the present day super-stars.
How long Meredith will remain as
the fastest man of all times at 44O-
yards seems to be up to the willing
ness of Allen Woodring, Of Syracuse
university, the :. Olympic 200-meter
champion, to 60 out for it.
Not excepting Charley Paddock,
the Pacific coast flyer, Woodring has
been regarded as the fastest man in
the world today at 220 yards, but
owing to his rather slight build he
had not been considered a record

BAD PENNIES ALWAYS RETURN.
BUT GOOD $50 BILLS SELDOM

1t is bad policy to hand out $50
bills instead of 81 bills in making
change, but that is exactly what
happened in the rush Commencement
Day at the Hays Meat Market Mr..
Hays was very fortunate in having
selected an honest man on which to
practice his apparent generosity. A
few hours later Edgar Rice, Federal
Board student living in the Hensley
property, discovered he had sudden
ly and without his knowledge, be-
come rich, for there it was, a 500
bill, in his own purse. Mr.. Rice was
somewhat bewildered, as any one
would have been under the circum-
stances, but as soon as he was able
to collect his thoughts he headed to-
ward the meat market. OF course i,
is needless to say that Mr.. Hays
and the $50 bill had happy reunion.
He admits himself that he was very
much pleased, and says that he
stands ready to give Mr.. Rice m
unqualified recommendation at any
time.
