A heated controversy has arisen

Nearer Agreement on Text

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE prospects for

ination of the reparation question
were regarded in diplomatic and
French official circles today as bright.
er than yesterday.
The improved situation was said
to be due to the tendency of the
British to accept in attenuated form
stricting the time of Germany's ca
pacity to pay to the present"
M. Poincare, it is stated, has al
ready declared he is willing to give
a rather elastic interprettion to this
reservation, permitting it to cover a
period of perhaps two years.
Discussion is now proceeding as
to whether an accord can not be
reached on the understanding that
the word present" would mean the
period of the moratorium asked for
by Germany. which everyone admits
must be granted for at least four
years.
Another alternative suggested in
the effort to reach an accord, is the
elimination of the phrase capacity
for payment" which has proved so
irritating to the French official mind.
The British. Italian and Belgian diplo-
matists have considered a new formu-
la which would mean the same thing,
but satisfies French sensibilities.
Productive resources" or "progres-
siye payments" are among the
phrases proposed.

that he wouldn't have known 1t was

was that when he had poked his head
over the edge a terrible wind had
struck him and actually had blown
him back.
OF all the frightened Meadow Mice
that ever lived Danny Meadow Mouse
was the most frightened as he scram-
bled back into that tiny cupboard.
For while he was too frightened
even to think. But at last when he
was able to think he knew what had
happened. He had been carried away
by that great man-bird. He was up
in the air! Yes. sir, he was way, way

| Danny Meadow Mouse crouched in
the farthest corner of a little cup
board in the great man-bird. which,
as you and I know, was an airplane.
His ears were filled with a terrible
| noise, noise more terrible than any
he had ever heard in all his life. 1t
was worse than the worse thunder
he had ever heard, because there was
no end to 1t. So Danny crouched in
the corner of that little cupboard
and was sure that the Great World
was coming to an end.
But nothing happened and after a
while Danny began to get used to
that terrible noise. ''Noise can't
hurt me-" he decided at last. Noise
can't hurt me. III peep out and see
If that man Is in my way. II he
isn't I'll get out of here and back
home as fast as my legs can take
me-"
So Danny peeped out around the
edge of the little door. which was
part way open. He looked all about
him hurriedly. The man was close
to him, but he was back to him and
seemed very busy about something.
He didn't look back at all. Danny
ventured out few steps and then
his courage failed him and he darted
back. He did 1t again. He did 1t
a third time. Each time he felt
a little braver. The fourth time he
scampered across and climbed up the
opposite side. He intended to jump
down to the ground as soon as he
reached the top.
Danny reached the top and poked
his head over to look down so as to
see where to Jump. Then he fell
right back and landed with a little
thump on his back. There were two
reasons for this. One was that when

Today
Time to Be Thankful.
Crime Is Expensive.
4 Queen to Admire.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE

The president calls upon all to
give thanks. He mentions the
Japanese earthquake, and says:
1--WE are better able to appreci-
ate our blessings when we remem-
ber the privations that others suf-
fered." That undoubtedly is true.
Our Puritan ancestors believed
tina. in heaven the blessed were
made much happier by seeing
what happened to their friends and
relatives down below.
Thanksgiving day will come this
year on the goth, % days from
now. You may give thanks doubly
if we have the good luck to stay
out of that European conference
and the unforeseen complications
it may lead to.
DR.. Simon, an expert, says drugs
cost this nation every year a loss
of $1,825, 100000. That sum rep
resents the value of drugs used
and the wasted energy and serv-
ices of drug victims.
All hungry people in the world
could be fed and clothed, all pub
lie improvements that the world
needs could be paid for with the
waste caused by drugs, alcohol
and crime. If civilized nations
would fight those evils, instead of
fighting each other, progress would
be more rapid.
A queen, on exhibition in New
York, should be visited by other
queens, especially by the society
queens"
The queen exhibited is queen
bee, in a little palace of polished
glass, surrounded by attendants
constantly caring for her.
That queen is a model for all
others. She marries only once,
never gets divorced. In fact, after
the original, and very short, hon.
eymoon trip, which is a journey
straight up in the air, she never
sees her husband again, and for
two good reasons. First, she does
not want to see him; second, he is
dead.
The queen obeys the rules of her
court, made by her sisters, the
working bees, by whom she was
made a queen, through a slight
interference and change in diet,
when she was very young.
AS for royal ancestry, that
queen goes back in straight line
through thousands of centuries.
There were queens in her family
when the ancestors of the greatest
human aristocrats were climbing
timidly down from one tree to
take short, quick run to another
tree.
In Detroit yesterday $50 tele-
phone operators called up 10000
subscribers and asked, "Good
morning, have you. voted YETI" A
new, interesting election day idea.
The radio could do it even more
widely.
But it's a bad sign that citizens
should need to be reminded to
vote. You don't have to remind
them of their coffee and rolls, or
their golf game.
Postoffice fliers carrying mail
through the clouds will be able
hereafter to talk to postoffices on
the ground by wireless. The flyer
will have a receiver under his he'll
met, and a transmitter on his
breast. That makes the magic
carpet seem a very feeble effort
of the imagination.
Mussolini's example spreads.
Jugo-Slavia, creation Of the Ver-
sailles conference, orders Bulgaria
to apologize and pay an indemnity
because a Jugo-Slavian attache
was attacked.
Bulgaria says, "All right, we
will do whatever you say" Coun-
tries that got beaten evidently
have had enough fighting for the
present-all except Turkey. It's
fighters, inspired by Mohammed,
seem never to have enough.

FOREIGN Titles in
CAPITAL SOCIETY
HOstesses in Capitol Have Per-
picking Names to Remember

Washington, Aug. 15.-Many and
| serious are the tribulations OF the
hostess to official society In Washing
ton, and not the least Of her worries
is the necessity of keeping at her
tongues end the proper title and pre-
fix for those of her guests who are
m embers of the diplomatic corps.
| In Difference to the customs OF a
democratic country, many OF the for-
eign ambassadors and ministers. to-
gether with the members OF their
STATS and families, have adopted plain
Mr." and Mrs" and Miss" as the
only titles by which they are to be
addressed. Others have not, however,
and the official diplomatic list of the
state department presents an odd mix
ture of prefixes gathered from the
ends of the earth. In some cases there
even appears to be paradoXical d.
vergence among the representatives OF
e. single country.
j. J. Jusserand, the French ambas-
sador who as dean of the corps heads
the diplomatic list. eschews the Mon
sieur" of his nativity and styles him
self "Mr. Jusserand." But the next
name Is not that of Mrs. Jusserand."
Instead the list reads Madame JUS
serand," and there follows string of
"Madames" and "Mademoiselles.'
The eye of the seeker after correct
ness next encounters "Senor Don Juan
Riano Gayangos,'" the ambassador
of Spain, and his wife, Sonora Dona
io;a o.l a. Do;.
"Senoras" and "Senoritas" rule gen,
orally among the Latin-Americans, al
though the Argentine list is headed by
"Mr. Felipe A. 'Espil," the charge
d'affaires, while the Uruguayan min
lister and his wife style themselves
DIR, Jacobo Varela" and Madame
Varela" .. 10
With the Japanese it is Mr." and
Madame" The Chinese minister is
"Mr. Sac ke Alfred Sze," and his wife
is Madame Sze," blu the counselor of
the legation Is Mr.. Yung Kwai' while
his wife is Mrs. Yung Kwai." Every
man except two on the German list
has the prefix of DR." and of the two
exceptions one is Baron" and the
other, according to the official list is
to be addressed as Herr" The fem
mime prefix is Frau" Among the
Italians it is "Signor" and "Signora."
In addition, of course, there are the
diplomats and their wives who belong
to the nobility, and who can be called
by none of these titles. The Belgian
ambassador is Baron de Cartier de
Marchienne." the British ambassador
is THE Right Honorable Sir Auckland
Geddes,' the Hungarian minister is
Count Laszlo Szechenyi," and the
Roumanian minister is prince A.
Bibesco." The Persian list, in which
only an expert can separate name
from prefix, is as follows:
Mira Hussein Khan ALA, minis
ter; Bagher Khan VI. Kazemi, coun-
selor; Abdullah Khan Entezam, secre-
tary; Hadi Khan Khatiblou, attache;
and SULTAN Mahmood Khan Anerie.
