"LADDIE BOY" IS
 PRESIDENTS PAL | AFTER OFFICE HOURS

WASHINGTON, Oct 5. - "Laddie Boy" President Harding's pet Are dale, is more than just pal in leisure hours. "Laddie Boy' is after a fashion the Presidents confidant. Every morn ing, when the President leaves the mansion proper for the executive of fees, "Laddie Boy" prances beside him and goes with the President into his private office and perches himself quietly on one of the guest chairs be- side the great mahogany table at which the President sits.
 "Laddie Boy" retains this perch sometimes more than an hour, jump ing down and scampering out into the gardens behind the White House only

ARTISTS MAKE WORLD TRIP

HAMBURG, Oct. 1.-Two German sail-boats of small dimension are due to brave the furies of the At lantic on experimental trans-ocean- ic voyages within the coming year.
 On one of them a party of 13 Ger man artists and professional men plan to circumnavigate the globe. They have recently tested their craft in a trip to Copenhagen, and are now trying to complete arrangements for leaving before the end of the year. The vessel is 5S feet long and will carry three writers, three art ists, and a number of "movie' ac- tors from Berlin, accompanied by a Munich doctor. This tour is to be made by way of Holland, Spain, the Canary Islands, Cuba, Mexico, both coasts of South America, the South Sea Islands, China, Japan, India and the Suez Canal It is expected that three weeks will be required in eros sing the Atlantic and the party plans to return home in about two years.
 The other enterprise is to be con- ducted by three German sailors in a 43-foot sailboat of 12 tons, which they themselves intend to build. They will attempt to make the trip from Hamburg to New York, and are planning to sail under the aus pices of the Imperial Watch Club of Wurttemberg. It has been reported that American interests agreed to bear the costs of the experiment if the boat carried the American flag, but that the offer was rejected These seamen do not expect to take to the water before next spring.

READY MADE HURTFUL TREND
 INPARIS MODES

PARIS, Oct 5 - "A tendency of Paris couturiers to cater to the Amer ican ready-to-wear trade demands has had a bad effect on the styles of many of the well-known shops" declares Charles Kurzman, head of the famous Fifth avenue establishment. "It has resulted in many cases in the cheap ening of fabrics and of quality.
 Prices are still too high to be bene' ficial either to the French or Ameri- can trade. They do not appear to have stabilized prices on this side. We could do twenty-five times as much business if the prices were right-that is, be- tween twenty and thirty per cent low CT than at present"
 Buyers are many in Paris, but most of them are buying few lines. The French firms have a habit of charging the designers cost price for each gown, no matter how many are or dered, which is about $200.
 Kurzman, who has had experience in buying Parisian models and who has fine appreciation of French taste, says that it would be better for the whole world if more French goods were spread abroad. French design, CTS are the greatest artists" he says. Nobody can approach them. There is always something new in Paris, thanks to their creative genius"

LEAN FUNDS
 HALT WOOD IN
 PHILIPPINES

MANILA, Oct. 5.-It appears that a lean treasury will continue to ham, per the work of General Wood until he leaves the Philippines, as he plans to do in January, and re- turns to the United States to take up his work as provost of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. Most of the proceeds from the new insular bonds, expected to bring price near par in New York, will go to reimburse funds from which money was withdrawn during the last several years and par ticularly during the financial crisis when the government was on a hand to-mouth basis.
 Large sums of land taxes long in arrears are still unpaid; the city has postponed tax payment this year un- til September; the provinces want the tax lifted entirely, alleging no profit on low-priced crops, while the Acting Senate President publishes a state ment that he is in favor of annulling the new assessment, upon which the bond issue is based.
 BONDS WON'T SELL
 Congress authorized bonds up to 10 per cent of the assessed valua- tion of real property in the Philip pines, which is the amount the admin istration proposes to sell. Wood is giving the Philippine investor an op- portunity to buy these bonds, bearing 5 per cent interest, but money is worth from g to 12 per cent on safe securities here, and bankers say that little money will go into per cent bonds
 Because of uncollected taxes chiefly the public schools are already asking pills, while the 1923 prospect is that the schools will absorb a full third of the public revenues from all sources. Therefore, while Governor Wood keeps his program pared down to the most essential items education, peace and order, adequate courts, ne cessary public works, including har- Dor and road building, etc. - the work halts for want of funds just at a time when, because of the low prices and varying demand for farm products, public expenditures, especially for labor, would do the most good.

Selling out the fast diminishing stocks
OF German shops to foreign buyers is
becoming a serious menace, in so far as
foodstuffs are concerned. Sugar has virtu-
ally disappeared from the retail market,
and prices have doubled in consequence.
Germany used to have a fiourishing beet

future sales.
A similar situation exists I'm canned
goods. Although German crops were
plentiful last year. canned vegetables
and conserves are scarcely to be found
in German groceries to-day. Also the
south German cheesemakers stopped
selling a large part of their product to
the German people. All these industries
are seeking the Governments permission
to export their goods.
The German people are particularly
bitter because the fishermen have Sc
cured freedom for their trade and are
sending the bulk of their catch to the
Dutch markets. There Is a marked fish
shortage, with high prices, in the Ber-
lin market. Dutch fishermen likewise
are indignant.
The Government having renounced its
policy OF rigid trade control. the people
now find a large part of their food sup
ply going into foreign markets.

reply to the German argument that
printing paper at home cannot affect
Germany's ability to pay her debts
abroad, he said that the 200. 100000, 900
paper marks already held abroad con-
stitute an obligation to foreigners which
the German nation must meet some day,
and until that obligation is provided
for there would be insufficient basis OF
security for large foreign loans.
Foreign noteholders, he continued,
should German production increase ana

beginning to cash in their bank notes

the purpose OF such financial control"
Mr. Crosby was surprised at the
amount of real goods the Germans OBJ

But he admitted that what goods were
obtained may have given the people the
necessary minimum of comforts and
luxuries to check discomfort and revo-
