Washington, Oct 3O.-President
Coolidge's approval of the American
note on reparations has brought
the question of foreign policies to
the fore in political discussions. The
note of Secretary of State Hughes
proposing a scientific investigation to
determine Germany's ability to pay
reparations places this country in
the position as a neutral helping in
the economic adjustment of Europe.
The subject will figure prominently
in Senate debate and later in the
elections of 1924.
Vacancies in important Congress
sional committees as result of the
last elections have handicapped the
procession work on appropriation
bills. Every congressional district
in the Union has manifested keen
interest in the competition for COM
mittee assignments. House and SEN

 Judge Gary and his friends haven't made good as phophets. They predic- ted that the 8-hour workday in the steel industry wouldn't work, but reports from many districts show that 1t is a decided success.
 Lates to report on the success of the 8-hour day is the Southern Ohio Pig Iron and Coke Association, which was recently told by its committee on wa ges and hours of work that a number of merchant furnaces in the district had in- stituted the 8hour shift on continuous operation at furnaces.
 The plan was reported to be working very successfully from the standpoint of both employer and employees. At least two of the furnaces installing the 8-hour day reported that they had been able, by a better division of the work, to reduce the number of men required to operate efficiently the furnace as compared with the number required while working two shifts. Reports to date indicate that the men are working more steadily and more efficiently under the new plan
 And where do you think this report was published? Why, i'll the Iron Age, leading organ of the steel industry and one of the most vociferous disclaimers of the assertion that the 8-hour day wouldn't work!

Washington, Oct 5.-One econofn- ic result of the migration of Negroes northward during the past year has been the impetus given to the estab- lishment of Negro banks and the growth of Race bank deposits.

lived a negro whose time was
spent mainly in hanging round
the sheriff's office. At every
chance he would beg the sheriff
to appoint him a deputy. and
in self recommendation would
boast loudly of his courage and
ability.
One day a notorious bad man
. from the back country drifted
. into town. Thinking to have a
little fun with the negro, the
sheriff informed him that at last
he had concluded to grant his
wish.

Medb ury
Says
By John p. Medbury.

I1y VN1A1N - -
UNDREDs of theaters
throushout the country are
- drumming up business hold
ing Country Store night once a
week. You can see q good picture
show and fill your pantry at the
same time.
Even il the picture isn't any
good, the butter and eggs they
give away are all right.
Once in while they have
vaudeville, but nobody wants to
listen to singing when they've got
their mind on groceries.
: The only hams they want to see
are sugar cured ones.
OF course, every one doesn't get
= q prize. The ones who usually win
them are the people who get in on
passes.
They get an evenings entertain
.ment and three days board for
nothing,
& And some of them even try to
beat the high cost Of living further
by going to sleep in the theater.
One guy went to q show and
won a. pound Of bacon and when
he got home his wife beat him up
for not bringing up q sack Of
potatoes.
A patron is liable to 80 in with
his mind on lard and come out
with dozen eggs.
People go into these theaters
not because they're hungry for
entertainment but because they're
1alnished for food.
If the manager will only supply
the food. they'll try to get their
room rent from somebody else.
The groceries are all set out on
the stage, and these theaters very
seldom run vaudeville on the same
night because the average actor
isn't used to seeing so much food.
One actor saw all the vege-
tables and canned goods on the
stage and couldn't imagine how
the people in the audience could
throw them up there SO evenly.
He was used to getting vege-
tables and things after he'd been
on the stage for a few minutes,
but this was the first time he ever
saw them up there before he went
out.
He said, eff this is what they
did to the act before mine l won
der what they'll do to me-"
And when he went on and did
his act and they didn't throw any
thing. he thought that they must
have been too tired.
Vaudeville never goes well In
these theaterS. The acts may be
wonderful, but no man is going to
applaud and give the fellow sit
ting next to him q chance to steal
his groceries.
