the go-getters who inherit the earth,
and while it is true that every
man likes to believe that his wife
is a shy retiring violet whose beauty
and fragrance only his keen eyes
discovered, it is ovserbable that no
man ever sees the violet that doesn't
implant itself so conspicuously in
his pathway that he falls over it.
This being the case, to what espe-
ciaI spot shall Violet transplant her
self? To attempt to find any par
ticular place where there is a surplus
of eligible men anxious to wed, is as
absurd as to seek the pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow. 1t is a myth
ical paradise that doesn't exist in
real life. Probably one city, or viii
lage. or country neighborhOod offers
as many matrimonial opportunities
as another.
Only there is this to be said: Fa-
miliarity breeds Indifference. The
men whom a woman has known from
childhood, and who are accustomed
to her as they are to their own sis
ters, have gotten to the point where
they do not notice her, and where she
can no more raise a thrill in their
breasts than their grandmOthers can.
They take her good looks and her
charm for granted. They are so used
to her entertaining them, and anus
ing them, and sympathizing with
them, and putting new heart and
courage into them, that they do not
realize how necessary she is to them.
No one of them thinks of asking her
to marry him, but they fall easy VIC
tins to some strange girl who comes
along, and who hasn't half of her
beauty or worth.
Men like new toys, and wise is the
woman who recognizes this, and who,
finding the home market barren,
packs up her little bag of tricks and
strikes out to some place where she
will be a novelty and where men will
take note of what wonderful eyes
that new girl has and how we'll she
dances, and what az swell dresser
she is.
If you will think it over you will
recall that not many girls ever marry
in the old home town, which is, per-
haps, the reason that women are our
greatest little travellers.
Another hint to the wise is con-
veyed in the fact that there are more
rich old maids than poor ones. The
upper strata of society is an Eden
where the Adams are mostly paunchy
grandpas who have retired from bust
ness, or callow collegians who have
not yet begun to cut their wisdom
teeth on wedding ring. Both are
poor matrimonial timber.
But the business world is full of

DECLARE, RESISTANCE IN RUHR MUST STOP FIRST
Contend Latest Proposition Is Altogether Unacceptable From Several Points Of vieW-HoId Sum Offered Is Not One Fourth Enough

PARIS. May 6.-(By Associated Press.)-France and Belgium have categorically refused to consider Ger many's recent offer of 30,000,000, 900 marks ar reparations.
 The refusal is contained in a joint note sent the allies yesterday and de- livered to the German embassies in Paris and Brussels this evening.
 The note announces the determina- tion of France and Belgium to be paid in full and not to consider any proposal until German resistance in the Ruhr ceases.
 After mentioning number of ob- jections to the German proposals. the note continues:
 "The French and Belgian govern ernments should add that the pres- ent position of Germany is alto gether unacceptable from several points of view. Germany's offer does not represent even one-fourth of the sum fixed by the separations com mission and recognized by Germany as the amount of her debt to the allies. France and Belgium have de- clared on several occasions, and they are led to repeat now, that they can- not accept q reduction of their own shares and although they are ready to offset them with interallied debts they gre obliged to collect the re- sn4inder to repair the terrible disas-

AMERICAN BOARD TO CONFER WITH OBREGON
Will Seek To Protect U. s. Property
 Against Confiscation

WASHINGTON, May 6.-With one chief object in view-the safeguard ing of American rights and property against confiscation-two American commissioners have started for Mex leo City to open negotiations with the Obregon government which are likely to have a far-reaching effect in improving friendly relations among the nations of the world.
 The strained relations between the United States and Mexico. which have swayed on the brink of war many times in the last 10 years, have been a disturbing factor in all Pan-Amer- ican affairs, cropping cut with i'll effects where least expected. The Mexican situation played it's indirect part in the conference of Central American republics here some months ago. It has also played it's part, in the Pan-American conference at San tiago, Chile, which has just ad journed without accomplishing it's main objects.
 But since President Obregon took office two years ago. there has been steady improvement in feeling and 1t has eliminated in the dispatch of two American commissions, John Barton Payne and Charles B. War ren. They left Washington Sunday night. Negotiations will be formally opened at Mexico City on May IA

CHANNEL IS CROSSED IN 400 POUND PLANE
Frenchman Makes Two-Way Trip In
 11-HOrsepoWer Mactine

CALAIS, May 6.-M. Barbot. noted French aviator. won prize Of 2o.o0o francs and undying fame today when he made tWo-way trip over the English channel in freak 1l-horse power airplane weighing less than 400 pounds.
 The round trip consumed an hour and three quarters actual flying time. Barbot accomplished it on two gal Ions of gasoline.
 Barbot had been setting gliding records and experimenting with planes with diminutive engines In Africa, and returned to France re- gently to demonstrate machine eX- tremely light and cheap, such as might become household adjunct along with the family flivver and lawn mower. The engine weights only 130 pounds and the entire plane complete, with Barbot in it, only 430 pounds. His feat today was done in the face of great obstacles. contrary winds forced him tp postpone his ef- fort until late afternoon and the sea planes that were to accompany him to England and back failed to arrive.
 At 6:2O D. m, as darkness began 10 fall and the west wind moderated somewhat, Barbot took the air from St. Inglevert airdrome.' near the coast and winged his way out over the channel An hour later he landed at I.ympne, England. 35 miles away. Resting Al minutes, he again sioWly rose and flew toward France. This time, with the wind in his favor. he cut the passage down to A minutes landing at St Inglevert at :45 D. m.
