"HE most tragic moments n !
boys life are the times when
he has to wash his neck ana
ears. The average kid believes
that soap and water was thought
up by the same guy who Invented
castor oil.
They figure that sissies are the
only oIles who 60 out on the street
with clean faces.
10 most boys bathtub il an In
strument Of torture.
They thlnk IFS : waste 81 tine
to wash their facs-when e only
gets dirty again.
One kid hated water 90 that ho
asked his mother If she wouldn't
use vacuum cleaner on his ears.
Not only that, but he wanted
her to wash his neck with q whisk-
broom.
He said. ''Pd like to try this iry ,
cleaning that I've heard % much
about"
He couldn't see why he had 10
keep clean when Mrs. Brown let
her little boy get as dirty a. hs
wanted to get.
He cried and said he'd Be glad
whom he was twenty-One 80 that
ho could grow beard and never
have to wash his face.
His sister told him it was too
bad he didn't have detachable
head so that he could send IT out
to the wash with the rest Of the
laundry.
No matter whether . lkid has 8
handsome face or . hOmeIy one,
the upkeep on IL is just as dis-
agreeable.
One little boy claimed that his
mother put mud on her face &
night so he couldn't see any rea-
son why he shouldn't have dirt on
his during the day.
The only difference Il that she
pays two or three dollars Tor the
mud she uses and the lid gets his
for nothing.
One kid always got frightened to
death every time Saturday night
came around.
So his mother spoiled hin by
giving him chI0rofOrm bef0re she
put him In the tub.
OF course. he's q man now, but
the habit is stfIl with him ana he
has to go to the hospital wllenever
he wants to take a bath.
The inferno has to give him
ether and then wheel him into the
bathroom.
Even to this day he thinks that
cake Of soap is deadly weapon.
A highwayman would have no
trouble at all holding him up at
the end Of . scrubbing brush.
So mothers should be careful and
never force bath on their chill
dren. It may frighten them when
they grow up.

PREMIER POINCARE OF
FRANCE SCRAPS WAR DEBTS

Paris.-Premier Poincare consoli-
dated his position before a cheering
chamber of deputies by practically re-
pudiating allied debts.
THE allied debts were the price
paid for common victory" stated
the French premier in the midst of
cheers and violent applause by all par
ties. eve shall pay them with Class
G bonds when Germany has paid. and
not before"
The Glass G bonds represent the
tigurative debt of Germany over and
above the $12, 5OO,OO0,OOO in cash
which experts agreed was the abso-
lutte limit of the reichs capacity to
pay.
These bonds will probably never be
paid, or at least the minimum time
which must elapse before Germany is
in position to pay them will be
seventy-tive years.
According to Premier Poincare's
speech, America must wait nearly a
century before being paid, during
which the interest will continue to
pile up until payment Will be phys
ical impossibiity.
His speech may be taken as an abb
solute indication of the opinion Of all
French parties, including the Social
lists and Communists, since all APP
piauded wildly.

FORMER EMPEROR
To STAY IN EXILE
Allied Ambassadors Bar Ex-
Kaiser From Germany.
WILL LET EX-PRINCE ALONE

Paris.-The allies thrvngh the coun-
ell of ambassadors agreed to send two
communications to Germany, one stat
ing that the allied militan control
cOmmission will resume its work in
Germany and directing the Berlin gov
eminent to give it adequate protection
and facilitate its work, and the other
agreeing to let the eX-crown prince
remain in Germany as a German farm
er, but insisting that the ex-kaiser
must not be allowed to return.
Await Berln's Answer.
Having dispatched these two notes
to the German charge d'affaires the
ambassadors sat back to wait for Ger
many's answer which if in the mega
tive will merely bring the two issues
back to where the wrangling started
last week.
Despite the French and Belgian in
sistence that sanctions must be threat
ened the text of the notes shows that
the divergence on this question is Just
as great as ever. AS far as the eX-
crown prince is concerned Germany
is merely told that she will be held
responsible for anything he may do,
the possibilities of penalties only arts
ing in some possibly distant future
when the allies might be constrained
to concert on proper measures" But
if the eX-crown prince behaves him
self and the 'ex-kaiser does not re-
turn to Germany the allies accept the
German governments pledge to this
effect at its face value.
Disregard Versailles Treaty.
The principal result of this policy
toward the ex-crown prince is a vir-
tual chucking overheard of the clauses
in the treaty of Versailles regarding
the punishment of war criminals. HAY
ing tactiy given Frederick William
permission to remain in Germany if
he does not try to enter politics the
allies cannot ask Germany to hand
over any Of the remainder of the 800
war culprits whose names appear after
that of the eX-crOwn prince on the
list approved by the supreme council.
On the issue of military control the
warning finger of the allies is equal
ly unimpressive. The French idea of
applying definite sanction is again
made subordinate to an agreement to
be reached by the allies ito take
measures which appear proper to them
to assure the execution of the treaty"
