Deeply Interested.

present basis of records and promises
of the members Of the General As
sembly of Virginia, Governor Irnk.e
is not willing to call an extra seSsio"
Of that body to pass ON the question
OF raising funds for state m@h""y
purposes. So he annouil-
ced in a statement glVen out iale
Yesterday. outlining his views on the
question. The Governor qualified tne
statement. however, with this deciat-
alton:
- am still willing 90 call an extra
session Of the General Assembly 1or
q bond issue, provided the request
comes 10 me from u substantial ma
ioritv uf the members Of the General

UNITED STATES
MAY YTAKEPART
IN QUARREL.
Should France Prepare to
Invade Germany, u. 5.
viii Intercede.
STEPS ARE UNCERTAIN
France Contemplates Collection Of
ReparatiOn From Germany BY
Force of Arms" il Necessary
Would Endanger All Europe.

Washington, Nov. 29-The United
States may act if the French govern
ment finally decide TO invade the
r.ch Ruhr valley TO force Germany
10 pay the next reparatiOus payment,
due January 10.
Should the French cabinet issue
definite orders TO Marshal Ferdlnand
.'och to prepare for the invasion OF
Germany, the probable results here,
according to well informed quarters
would be:
/. A formal appeal by Germany 20
the United States Government 10 do
something 10 save the situation.
2. Representations by the United
States TO France against sucn dras-
tic action, as constituting danger 70
the entire European situation.
Just what the various steps would
be are uncertain. but the beuet m
Washington today is that such tinal
decision on the part of France would
tend more than ever to throw the en-
ttre plight Of Europe up 10 the United
States.
Official advices had not been receiv-
ed here today Of the decision 20 seize
lQe hQNf TepOI eeQ All al ~ W AAs' y
Deen taken by the French Govern
ment. Dispatches stated that Mar
shal Foch had been instructed to lay
plans for action in the Ruhr district
and that France had notified the al
lies of her decision.
Regardless, however, Of the accur-
acy of these reports, the general
feeling in official and diplomatic quar-
ters here is that Europe is fast 2p-
proaghing a Showdown" in some
form or another on the reparations
problem, to which France holds the
key. Such a showdown, it is thought
is almost certain to involve the
United States.
II was recalled here today that IN
in the spring Of 1921. when the French
were then about TO send troops to
take the Ruhr, Secretary Of Stale
Hughes foreStatled this proposed
drastic action by making representa-
tions to Ambassador JuSSerani, the
French envoy here.
I'm the crisis over reparatlonS ut
that time, Germany also appealed TO
President Harding TO render a deciS-
ion as arbitrator ON the question. and
il is known that Germany has been
cosidering an appeal to this Govern
ment in the present situation.

how TO usurp each minute Of the dav

was able TO finish only one item-the
reading Of the journal Of the preced-

IF they should run out of material
normally requires about ten minutes.
which is unlikely, the insurgents
will call upon Senator LaFollette who

throughout the speech to enable him

STONE-POINTED SPEARS

Yesterday, we spoke Of some Of
the animals whcih Stone Age PEG
pie feared. We mentioned the sa-
ber-tooth tiger, the mammoth and
the big-horned rhinoceros. Those
were terrible enemies. but there
were still others.
On the faces of cliffs and on the
sides of hills were many caves. In
those liyed-lions and bears.
The Cave-bear was . feroc.Ous
creature. 1t was even bigger than
bears of today. 1t had strong, sharp
teeth. and claws which could make
great gashes in the flesh Of man.
If a person happened to walk near
the mouth of a cave, one Of these
cave-bears was likely to rush out
and tear him to pieces. The wca3-
ons men then used were not good
enough for fights with such an
animal.
The cave-lion was Just as fierce.
People had always TO be on their
guard against it, as well as the cave
bear. Life must have been full Of
terror for everyone. Had human
beings not used their brains, they
might have been wiped out.
By thinking they got the idea of
better weapon. of a weapon
which could be used TO slay bears
and lions. This weapon was the
spear with stone point Before #
was devised. sharpened stick had
been used as q sort of spear-but
the point was not strong eonugh.
A clever hunter hit uron the
idea of putting a stone point on a
wooden smear. He knew that stone
was much tougher than wood.
This hunter cut off the wooden
/ point of his spear.
