 HARDING MAY CALL TRADE CONFERENCE
President May Await Results of Genoa Farley, Then AS- sembIe Representative
 Nations at Meeting
By WILLIAM A. BIRD Special Cable to The AEe-Herald Copyright, 1922, by, The Age-Herald1

Copyright, 1922, by. The AEe-Herald)
 Paris, March 11.-An expectation, apparently based on information from Washington, prevails here that President Harding will call an inter national trade conference soon after the affair at Genoa, provided the re- suits of the latter warrant.
 The American attitude is believed here 10 be:
 Let European nations reach an first. clearing away many points of differente which do not concern, merica, and then America will be willing 70 discuss the ways and means to a world wide trade re- sumption"
 It is also declared that meanwhile President Harding intends consulting South American countries and that this is why South America was not This interpretation seems to coincide with the American policy of regional understanding first. with the world wide agreements afterwards.
 Imaginary Obstacles
 There has been too much emph asis thus far on imaginary obstacles to achievement at Genoa. Among these is the de jure recognition of the Rus sian soviet government. But the very fact that all critics insist on guaran- tee against de jure recognition shows that this war is merely one of words, for it is admitted that for practical purposes there is no difference be- tween de jure, by right and de facto, in fact.
 As for Premier Poincare's inast- encc upon the inviolability of the peace treaties and the reparations decisions, this must be considered simply as proforma, for the treaties inviolability has been proclaimed loudly every time they have been amended at the successive confer ences of the last two years.
 1nviolability means unamendabiiity and if amendments seem necessary or opportune, it is no trouble to find convenient formula justifying them.
 Cerciliatory Spirit Growing
 As indicating to what extent con- ciliatory spirit is growing it is note worthy that during the past week it has been widely reported that Nj. Cachin, the parliament communist leader. now in Russia, is on a mis- sion for Poincare. The communists deny this, but unquestionabiy there Lis some understanding between Poin- care and the communists for the lat ter's attacks in the chamber of depu- ties. at first bitter and violent, have practically ceased.
 There is considerably let up in the talk about international debts. both nterallied and separations. Europ- cans seem to realize gradually that the debt question must be subsidiary to trade resumption and that it is idle to talk about paying debts when everybody is broke.
 Altogether all signs point to H. Illuminating discussions at Genoa with some likelihood of sufficient l concrete accomplishment to warrant President Harding in assembling the l representative nations of all parts of l the world for a readjustment barley,

To enter class In competition for the S350O casn prize or the nine other cash prizes offered in that class you send along check or money order for one good time coupon along with your list.

In answer to many queries coming in the mails. Manager Hill states that one does not have to re- side in Birmingham or be present at the park when the drawing is made If the holder lives in Augusta, Me, and makes it known that he has the duplicate number he will be presented with the car or the other prizes
 Other queries have come into head quarters about the use of plural words along with the singular. So many ofthese queries have come in that the park management decided to make a direct ruling in regard to this, and it covers the matter in rule 9, which reads: You can oly use plural of words when 1t Is necessary to change the word itself to form the plural. as man and men and child anC children'"
 With the rules so clear, and the field so easy to enter, you should start to work right now with pencil and paper. Its game the whole family can play, and it's far more in tercsting than cards. Also it's in- structive and educational. One well known Birmingham educator wrote the Hillco management a letter of commendation the other day, prais- ing the company for promoting such an educational game.
 Tt not only gives the people a chance to win cash prizes of great value" wrote the educator, but. it will increase their vocabularies won derfully, and thereby you have rem dered good service to the cause of education"

KENTUCKY "COURT DAY.
 RECEIVES GREAT JOLT
By Associated Press

Lexington, Ky. March 11.-"court Day" century-old institution in Kentucky, has suffered a painful jolt here. The circuit court through an abatement order has taken away from 1t "Cheapside," public square in the center of the business district, where farmers and traders for miles around gather in numbers on the second Fri day in each month to swap horses and to trade anything from harness to homes.
 And now, for the first time in more than 100 years they are not per- mitted to meet in the historic old square, of late years within sight of the town clock in the court house tower, but have been shunted to another and less desirable street. The farmers say, however, they will not submit tamely to what they regard as an invasion of their rights and in- dicate they will carry the case to the Kentucky court of appeals. The lower court said they made of it a nuisance, at once unsanitary and unsightly.

 New York, March 1t.-If it is not one thing. it's likely to be another. and this week it is to be an Egyptian prince with an American welter- weight as his secretary. Proving once more that o. Henry didn't tell the half of it.
 The town has had it's share of titled personages from Europe and the Ori- ent and was just settling down quietly To "reminiscences about them when Prince Mohammed Ali Ibrahlm strolled into the Biltmore. The nephew of the present sultan and the cousin Of the former Khedive of Egypt Is a slim and conspicuously well dressed young man on his way to Los An geles with a racing car Ordinarily cousin of the Khedive and a little brother to the pyramids would oc- cupy the e; act center of any lime light which happened to be turned on when he arrived. But the glory of the prince wasN half eclipsed by the stocky checked -trousered secre- tary who announced himself as Blink McCloskey the Philadelphia welterweight.
 Two Powerful Arguments
 
 According to this newest and de- cidedly most fascinating Arabian nights tale McCloskey was welter- weight around Thebes-yes the Thebes, somewhere on the Nile when Prince Mohammed Ais former secretary announced himself the champion heavyweight of Egypt and dared the world to deny 1t. Blink from Philadelphia argued the matter With the heavyweight. He used only two rguments-one to the left jaw and a swift retort to the mid driff-but they were so forceful that the Ftolemy Kid was completely floored.
 q had promised to take as my secretary" explained the prince, "any man who could knock out the heavy weight"
 Then he pointed to Blinl. the vic tor and made a sound like voila or whatever they say in Thebes when they mean "lookit." Of course, the prince has been an Egyptian prince for 22 years and knows his job. Pre- sumably he also knows what kind of secretary he needs. But the tall ents required for the secretarial po- sition around Thebes these days leads

And the strange part of it all is, that Hugh Hill, manager of the park, and the father of the word builder idea doesn't even know how many words can be builded from those letters.

ROSA PONSELLE, METROPOLITAN
OPERA STAR, TO OPEN OBER-

Probably no other operate star of
these times had less preparation or
study than. Rosa Poiiselle. the young
American born prima donna soprano
of the Metropolitan Opera company
whose sensational rise from the semi
olscurity of the vaudeville stage to
the leading role in verdis La Forza
del Destino" about four years ago was
the leading topic of discussion in mu-
sic circles for months afterward. She
had been studying for less than nine
months when she was offered an en-
gagement by Mr. Gatti-CasaZZa and
since that time she has had to absorb
u repertOry which the average diva
takes years to acquire. In addition to
learning several new roles during her
first season at the Metropolitan, she
was forced to spend an endless amount
of time on new songs suitable to the
concert field. So that. while her sud-
den rise brought her fame and GER
tain medium of affluence. it brought
her also tremendous amount of hard.
gruelling work. The laymen is inclin-
ed to visualize the life of n prima
donna as a long procession of lin
