 By S66 To 2O4

PARIS, Aug. 24-The Chamber of Deputies early this morning voted con 'fidence in the Herriot government by S36 to 204 following the long debate in the chamber on the government s action at the London conference.
 The text of the chambers order of the day reads:
 "The chamber, congratulating the government for having succeeded in ad- hitting the principle of arbitration in Bondon, thus permitting the negotia- tors to reach a practical and pacific so- lution of the problem of separations in broad spirit of cooperation and in- ternational concord, confident that the government will pursue during the forthcoming conference on inter-allied debts and at the League of Nations a program of justice and peace designed to assure the security of France, and the reconstruction of Europe, approves the governments statements"
 Premier Herriot defended the Dawes plan and the London agreement in a two-hour reply to his critics tonight during the course of the debate over parliamentary approval necessary to final signature of the accords next Sat urday, provided Germany is ready to sign. He took as his theme France must do what is right"
 Nj. Herriot, frankly admitting that i've bring you the first fruits of hohe" and not complete peace" told the chamber that any of the deputies would have done as he did under the circum- stances. Throughout the premier tried to keep the defense on high moral grounds and endeavored to show that

 Saturday

They were lighting cigars and ciga' rettees on soda fountain faucets down town Saturday afternoon. At least that's tile report that drifted in to the Age.HeraId on the sweltering heat wave that has held Birmingham III its grasp during the past three days,
 Records which have withstood all heat assaults since July and August os 19O2 melted beneath Saturdays attack, when the mercury seeped through the end of the thermometer to register 101. This mark was reached at 80 o'clock Sat urday afternoon. This temperature had been reached once before since 1902, in August, 1921.
 For three successive days, the <ther- mometer has reached 100, which is something of a record in itself, accord ing to Weatherman Horton. The cen tury mark has been reached on two sue eessive days number of times, but three days in a row is a record pre- viously unreached, according to Mir. Horton. 5s
 The temperature started its climb shortly before noon. At 12 o'clock, the mercury stood at 98, at one o'clock the century mark was reached, and at 2 80, after a momentary decline, the zenith was reaehedSat 101.
 Weatherman Horton can see no re- lief in prospect for Birmingham, In g statement to the Age Herald Saturday night. he said ,.
 ''The best I can do for the people of Birminghain is little enough. Continued warm is ny forecast, not to say con tinued hpi Before Sunday IS over, look for an previous hot weather rec ords to De broken"
 Down town sufferers were complain ing thAtathe thermometer on Fountain Heights was in no position to really do the heat credit. One person was heard to reinaFk
 '.It's comparatively cool up on Fouh9 tain Heights, but down in Birmingham 1t is hot. When Mir. Horton's ther- mometer says it's 100, you may safely say it's 107 or 1OS down in the city"

Berengaria Sails From Southampton Without
 Unusual Fuss
lRy Ieassd Wire t6 Age.HeraIdl

SOUTHAMPTON, England, Aug. 23. In marked contrast to all the commotlon that has been raised over his departure for the United States, the Prince Of Wales has sailed from here on the Be rengaria in almost unbelievable quiet His highness was so .unmindful of the agitation over his getaway that he was actually. tucked away in the royal cover lets of his fiye-room suite when the Be rengaria steamed out of here today, talk ing the prince to his American adven- lures.
 He had slipped aboard the liner be- fore dawn, lodging the hundreds of cu- rious American tourists and English flappers who had hoped to get glimpse of him and create an initial impression that might assure dance OF two when the giant steamship got under way. I'm mediately the prince ducked into his se- ries of cabins-designed originally for the German kaiser on what was then Teuton vessel-and when the liner edged away from the pier here it might have been embarking on an ordinary, non-royal passage for all the ceremony that attended the event,
 } A lone sailor stood somewhat rigidly at the gangplank as the prince went aboard-a greeting no more elaborate than the first cabin passengers received when they climbed on the liner.
 The princes dislike for anything that threatens to make an object of fuss and ceremony was first reflected in the plans he made for boarding the Beren- garia. Having spent the night at the home of Lord and Lady Louis Mount batten at Cowes, he stepped aboard a launch before daylight and eased over to the floating ocean palace, unobserved by anyone and accompanied only by his brother, Prince George.
 A few extra decorations in the way of varied buntings had been strung up on the ship. Flowers, and n special tele- phone, had been placed in his suite. That was about all the special attention ac- corded to the royal passenger. As that was the way he wanted it, the prince was happy.
 The prince had arranged to entertain at dinper tonight Lord and Lady Mountbatten, General G. F. Trotter and Captain Lascelles, who will accompany him to his ranch in Canada.

Matter Taken Up By President At Vacation Conference
 In Vermont
Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s. An echo from the conferenca recently held in Vermont be- tween President Coolidge and Henry Ford, reaching Wash ington this afternoon, has re- suited in a general conviction that early in December the Senate will authorize the ac- ceptance of the Detroit manu- facturer's offer for Muscle Shoals.
 It is understood here that the Pres ident expressed the hope that the pro- visions of the Ford offer could be so amended as to eliminate certain ebjee- tions expressed bys various members of the Senate, and that Mir. Ford informed the President that he was not unwill- ing to make some important conces- sions It is Reported that Mir Ford declared a disinclination to treat with the Senate, the course of which. he held has been vacillating, but wiilingnesa

 Thohias E. Edison and Harvey Firas stone. who accompanied Mir. Ford tp Vermont, are understood to have iu* formed the President that he could per- form no greater service to the country than to lend his support to the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals.
 Understanding Seen.
 Some weeks ago, Senator Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, who will lead the fight for the Ford offer, declared that the President could either put the Ford offer into effect or defeat it, a. declaration which encounters the agree ment of every well posted individual in Washington. That there appears to be an understanding, and a satisfac- tory understanding, between Ford and the President, is regarded as of prodig- ious significance, and a certain bar. binger of the Ford offers success.
 According to the plan, as it is re- ported to Washington, nothing definite will be discussed between the President and Ford until after the bill of Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, is de- feated. The Norris bill, providing for the operation of Muscle Shoals through government corporation, pends be- fore the Senate as a substitute for the bill of Representative John c. McKen- zie of Illinois, authorizing the accept ance of the Ford offer, which the House passed some months ago. The first ae- tion of the Senate, following the argu. ment of Senator Norris and his asso. ciates in the fight against the Ford offer, will be overwhelmingly defeated, according to every indication, because practically all it's supporters are con- fined to the so-called radical or La Toilette" group.
 Mckenzie Bill Comes Up.
 Following the elimination of the Nor ris substitute, the Mckenzie bill, or the Ford offer, will be before the Sem ate. It is regarded as probable that at the present time, majority of the Senate membership is not in favor of the Ford offer. When the Senate is called upon, however, to authorize the acceptance or rejection of that offer. it will be confronted with the neces-i (COntinued on Page TwO)

English Designs on
 Playing Card Faces

While we are indebted to the French for the modern suits and col ors of our playing cards, the designs of the face cards are English. The French changed the portraits in their decks from time to time to honor first one, then another royal family, and always printed the name of the hon. ored one beside his portrait. 1he Eng lish also made changes, but eveatual- ly settled on King Henry VIII. and Elizabeth of York, his mother and the wife of Henry VII. says the Dc troit News.
 It is interesting to note that the queen, whose marriage terminated the War of the Roses, still holds the rose of York in her hand. The knave, or fool, now called the jack, was the court jester, whose chief duty 1t was to amuse the king. He still wears the testers costume. though the modern custom of cutting the bodies of the court figures in half has eliminated the most distinguishing characteristics of his dress.
 The word "ace' probably Is Latin. meaning origin. course, beginning, first. Deuce and trey are doubtless derived from the Spanish dos and tres, meaning second and third.

KANSAS BONUS LAW
 HOLDS UP MEMORIAL

Red tape confronting members of the American Legion in Great Bend, Kan, may defer erection of a memo rial to Allwyn Harrison. a Barton county veteran for a short time. but the Legion will build a monument to this man who lost his life in the World war.
 Under the Kansas bonus law, Har- rison's heirs are entitled to his bonus. His parents are dead. and he had no brothers and sisters; only sey eral uncles and aunts are living, all of whom are entitled to a share of the compensation.
 These heirs suggested that a mon, ument be erected In the boys mem ory, and all made assignments of their share to the Legion. This was agree able until the Kansas board got the case. The law specifically says that the bonus cannot be assigned to any purpose except for support of wife or children. AS result the bonus board will be required to make out 15 different checks to pay each of the heirs the small share of the claim they are to receive. Then the Legion must arrange to get these checks in- dorsed and paid into fund for the memorial for the young man.

Needy German Soldier
 Cared for by Legion

At Chateau Thlerry, with Americans too close for comfort, Herman Schmidt & German soldier. suffered a shattered leg from the explosion of shell. A few months ago Schmidt went to Chl- cago, where relatives obtained work for him in grocery. but the old wound gave him considerable pain.
 Schmidt kept his trouble to himself imagining If 1t were known that he had been a German soldier members of the American Legion would have him deported. Infection set in and the mans life was endangered, so despite his protests a brother told neigh bor, a member of the American Le- zion.
 The next day members of the Le- zion again surrounded Schmidt. but this time their presence was a con- fort to him. as they carried him to an ambulance and sent him to a hos pital. Now Schmidt regards his for mer enemies as men of human quail ties. and the Legion as a ministering angel.

GOT THE MONEY N
 PRIZE FIGHT GAME

Somewhere In these United States there may be another woman prize fight promoter, but whether or not, the fact remains that Miss Mary Price of Huntington, w. Va, Is the only one south of the Mason and Dixon line, and probably the only one who ever made any money at the game.
 And at that she was working for the American Legion, and not for her self.
 When the United States stepped into the World war to put over the K. O., Miss Price decided she'd get in, too. So she enlisted in the navy, and they made her yeowoman. When sht was discharged and had joined the Huntington post of the Legion the, decided she was just the person need ed to put over series of contem- plated boxing bouts. The post need ed money for clubhouse and Mary, who was filled with the enthusiasm usually found In pretty miss of twenty-four, said she would go to it.
 She hired the hall, and looked over the field for f1rst-class fighters. Light weights, she saw, made the neatest fight = nothing of the knock-down- and-drag-out character-so she put on three ten-round bouts Johnny Martin of New York versus Patsy Haley of Cincinnati, was the main go. A scrap

for the championship of West Vir- ginia was pulled off between Mike Kearney and Freddie Dunlop. Then there was a curtain raiser. Yes, it was a good bill. and she signed them up herself.
 When the evening of the fray ar rived, Miss Mary. as they called her. routed out a score of her yeowOmen compatriots and put them in white duck uniforms for ushers. To see that no gate-crashers got by, Miss Mary took the tickets herself
 The card was eminently satisfac- tory. and the thousands who attended went home completely at peace with the world. Miss Mary figured up the cash statistics and found that her post was the gainer by 5000 which went into a clubhouse fund.
 She staged two other bouts and was in the midst of negotiating for finish battle between Benny Leonard. light weight champion. and Johnny Dundee, Leonard's business partner. when na- tional headquarters of the Legion heard about her.
 Forthwith the young lady was called to Indianapolis, where she as- sumed secretarial responsibility in the finance division She Is a Legion en- thusiast, and whenever her post gets behind or needs money she's going back and put on another bout. She says so, and she ought to know.

Nay Be Hard Task to
 Teach Parrot to Tolk

Parrots can be mors obstinate than mules, but if you arc . determined in- structor and not easily discouraged excellent results will follow.
 Remember that the best talker is not the one with the gayest plumage but the gray parrot fouad principally on the west coast ot Africa.
 If the parrot ls to become a talker he will, in the first three or four days, begin to make confused and indistinct efforts to copy your remark. When ever he does this reward him with a taste of his favorite delicacy, as this will induce further efforts.
 In 6 few weeks the parrot should be able to exclaim good day" or repeat any remark you have taught him whenever he sees any one enter or leave.
 Other appropriate phrases can be taught in the same manner such as the useful remark, '.Time to be going" by uttering the phrase as you look at your watch. It is always wise to teach each sentence separately, never starting a new one until the previous one has been mastered.
 In three or four months your par rot should be a speaker of some pre- tensions. If, however. at the end of this time he has shown no sign of proflting by your lessons be assured he never will. The most to expect is that he may one day make a good whistler.
