Paris June 19.-The talk of the Salon des Arttstes Francais, which has just opened its doors to art lovers. is the work of an American sculptor, Jesse s. Anderson. Of New York City.
 This important work is called Memories and Is an old woman's head, with pictures in relief figur- ing in her hair---dream pictures Of an old lady looking back over a full life.
 Twenty figures cover the head. On the upper part, in the hair just drawn away from the forehead, are girlish ones representing her chtld- hood, Then comes young maiden hood, a young couple kissing, placed very near the ear, as if the old lady were listening back for the sound oE this very kiss. Another couple Is en- twined about the other ear, this time figures of later life, On the side are nnfddle-aged couples, with chill dren, and farther back. running into the nape of the neck, are grand-par- ents, with their offspring,
 The face itself is an interesting one, with figures within it which must be carefully studied out like the faces in the moon.

The sculptor, fanaaliarly known as t'Vet" Anderson, has done important work as a caricaturist. Readers of American newspapers will remember the clever cartoons he made to illus trate the articles of John Kendfiek Bangs. always signed by sa little roos- ter, with "Wet" written in the tail feathers,
 At an early age he travelled from & small country town 4n Michigan to New York, where he worked on the World, the Telegraph and the New York Herald. The Columbia Exp osi- ton at Chicago, in 1893 set his mind to working along art lines, and he decided to take studio in New Y York.
 The Spanish war and later the last European war interrupted his studies until the spring of 1919. when he once more started cartoon work in London and then came to Paris to study at the Julian Academy.
 Anderson has done many statuettes, the most famous of which Is prob- ably the one of Billy Sunday, done in Philadelphia. At present he is busy with D head which will be called Happiness" and he intends to keep on doing this synb olistic work. rnak- ing figures which express human emo- tiOns.

He will file a $20,000 bond
 At a preious meeting when Reich was named, Attorneys Poster and Nicholson appearing for the com pany, endeavored to have associate trustees appointed. This plan was vigorously opposed by Attorney ReIcn, who offered to appoint those who were nominated by the opposition as trustees, his aids in ci1zposing of the machinery of the company
 The anxiety of Attorney Reich in being permitted to sell the machinery is prompted since the time of the expiration of the first law days of the first lien is imminent.

 A cherry tree gave George Wash Ington a reputation
 The same kind of a tree Is respon- sible for an orphan boys acquiring at least a score of volunteer godfath- CTS who promise him vacations in the country, an education and many oth- CT advantages.
 Some boys fall out of cherry trees and get a trip to the hospital or spanking. Little Lefty FH:ank, II years old, fell out of a cherry tree and got a trip to the hospital-and generous supply of godfathers
 Lefty dpesn't mind two broken arms-just look at all the other things he'n get because of the fall Not everybody can fall from a cherry tuee straight into the arms of fortune, Lefty will tell the world
 Lefty is ward of one of the chiidren's aid societies and had just been placed in a home at Catonsville, the Summer. Suffering an acute at tack of "golitiS'' even at his tender years, Lefty" climbed cherry tree to get a better view of a game which golf course. The game proved too exciting, and Lefty fell out.
 But ''Lefty'S' godfathers in disguise were playing on the golf course. One

 But Lefty was a game youngster and didn't shed a tear as some of the golf players put him in their ma chine and took him to St Agnes Hos pitaL There they were again inn pressed by his bravery. By the time Lefty returned to Catonsville, with his arms in splints-but still smiling he and the golfers had become fast friends.
 At a meeting of the Baltimore Auto Trade Association the next day some of the golf players of the previous day mentioned Lefty and the mem bers began to talk about his bravery. Now the secret is out It was the me mbers of the trade association who were on the links From now on they will consider Lefty their spe- cia1 charge
 In less time than it took the little fellow to fall out of the tree his god fathers had taken up a collection of $1o0 at the meeting to give Lefty 8 Summer in the real country, with | all the milk he can drink.

Trade Agents Warn
 Merchants Against Buying In Germany
By w. H. ATKINS International News Service Staff

Correspondent
 Washington, June 9.-American trade agents in Germany have hoisted danger signal for American buyers of German goods. American com merctal experts in Berlin have cabled to Washington warnings that German business and industry is being con ducted upon purely speculative basis. American buyers are remind ed that German merchants will de- cline to guarantee prices for-future deliveries.
 Americans returning from the Leipzig fair have reported that Ger man manufacturers generally re- fused to offer firm prices, except for goods in limited quantities and goods already manufactured
 An element of instability in Ger man manufacturing is the fact that the Germans make no wage agree month. Exact Knowledge of future German trade values is impossible be- cause of the prospect Of wage ad vances from time to time, of in creases in utility rates which have failed thus far to cut down heavy de- ficits. and steady advances in prices of raw materials. Another factor of insecurity, according to these expert observations, is the system of ievying export supplements. These are de- signed to bring the price of German exports closer to the price prevailing n the country importing German goods.
 Shifting prices in Germany, there fore, and the almost certain pros pect that production costs will rise up toward the world level. eventually can be couited upon by Americans in their dealings with German traders. Further uncertain- ty grows out of the fluctuations. and i of the German mark i continues as Q disturbing factor.
 American importers in some in | have reaDed large fortunes ! by taking advantage of the German | situation in earlier periods and buy | ing cheapfy and selling at high profits [ German readjustments however. has brought such speculation to the point i of serious risk by those who attempt i it. in the opinion of American ob- i servers It will be especially danger i ous in financial sense for those who | seew to buy in large quantities
