At the Palace this week end, you
will meet Primrose Seamon and COM

individuals who takes her profession
seriously. She has an entertaining
act, well done and carefully.
And yet. when she finished yester
day to real applause, she found time
to pass a hat to collect funds for the
n. " A. Mr.. Conrad of her company
made the appeal yesterday while Miss
Seamon collected real money for the
actors fund.
That is spirit and cooperation. That
is loyalty, Miss Seamon and Mr.. Con-
rad. And you have the talent to back
up your appeal.
The Venetian Masqueraders is one
of those colored musical events. There
is melody, yes; scenery, much Of it,
but what I saw of of the act, it
needed comedy relief.
Henry B. Toomer and Esther Day
offer a comedy dealing with married
life under the title of "A Very Bad
Cold"
Edith Clifford sings some songs of
real merit and one which has no merit.
Her real songs go over well. This
woman has ability, real talent. Why
in the world is she content to just get

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

From McGregOr, Iowa, comes the
story Of an outstanding Good Turn
and an ending like story books.
In the late FALL one of the boys Of
Troop 1 discovered two old sisters in
need Of help. One of them was a
cripple and the other was sick At
the next troop meeting the case of
the old ladies was discussed, and it
was decided that Troop / would do
what they could for the needy pair
until further relief could be secured
Promptly the following morning
one of the boys reported at the little
home of the old ladies and inquired
if there was anything the Scouts
could do to help. The young envoy
soon discovered there were wood and
coal to be carried in, ashes to be
taken out, floors to be swept, and
groceries to be gotten. Troop l took
the matter in hand Systematically
Neighbors soon began to notice
khaki-clad boy call faithfully each
morning to perform the patients
chores. When various loads of wood
ordered at different times by the
Scouts, arrived, the entire troop
would report, split it into kindling
size, and pile it in the shed.
The Scouts work was kept up
every day until the middle of April
when one of the sisters died, and the
other went to the Home for the Aged
ut Dubuque.
"Of course, as everything does,
word of this Good Turn spread round
town" says Scoutmaster H. F. Halt
mayer. Soon it reached the Kiwa-
mis- Club of this place. They invit-
ed me to attend one of their meet
ings and tell them what the boys did.
Some of them thought it was impos
sible to do such things with boys,
The outcome was that the Kiwanians
adopted the Scouts and voted to
build a cabin for them"

PARIS, December 5.-Premier Her
riot and Austen Chamberlain, British
secretary for foreign affairs, in con-
suItation here on affairs of mutual
interest to their countries, came to
an agreement today on the most
urgent of the international questions
that are interesting them, 1t was
stated in authoritative quarters. They
purposed continuing consideration of
less pressing matters on lines agree
able to both of them, it was declared.
A communique issued just after
Mr.. Chamberlain and the premier went
to luncheon said: Mr.. Austen Cham
berlain had a two-hour talk with
the premier this morning, in the
course of which the two ministers
took up divers international prob
lens. An accord was reached on
questions demanding an immediate
solution.
Concerning affairs requiring longer
study the two ministers agreed to
pursue their study in the same spirit
of determination on both sides to
develop the friendly relations that
exist between France and Great

SURPRISE HERE MARKED.
British Inquiry Report Not Previ-
ously Intimated.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associates Press.
London reports that the British
government expected to address an
inquiry to Washington and Paris
asking information regarding the
funding of the French war debt to
the United States were received to-
day with marked surprise by officials
in close touch here with the debt
funding situation.
1t was said authoritatively that
no intimation had come from Lon
don or from British embassy quar-
ters thus far indicating that the
London foreign office proposed to
take such step.
1t was asserted also that much of
the agitation on the part of the Lon
don press, expressing fear that the
French would be accorded more fa-
vorable terms of settlement than had
been allowed Great Britain, was un-
warranted.
The conferences held so far be-
tween Secretary Mellon and Jules
.IusserAad, the retiring French Am
bassa6or, it was said, had been con-
tined largely to an exchange of in
formation regarding the attitude of
their respective governments on the
question Of debts, and had been OF
Il purely informal nature.
1t even is the impression of some Of
ffcials that the French government
has not empowered it's Ambassador
10 attempt any actual negotiation,
but, rather, has instructed him to
feel OUT the Washington Government
on the question, so that upon his
return to Paris he can give his sue
cessor and French finance officers de-
tailed information which would be
of value to them at later time
or whenever actual negotiations are
opened.

Caused Coolidge
To Reject Special

CHICAGO, December 5.-Why
the President of the United states
came into Chicago in an ordinary
sleeping car on a regularly-sc
uled train, instead of on a special
train, as Presidents usually travel,
came to light In tale related by
White House attache who accom-
panied the Executive.
The President from the first re-
fused a special train. but was will
ing to take special car until
railroad officials started dickering
on the expense, the story went on.
THE cost will be 500 a day for
the private car and an additional
charge of 25 fares" railroad rep
resentatives informed the White
House.
1t developed that only 10 persons
could be carried, although 25 fares
were wanted. SO the President sent
one OF his aides to the ticket Of
fee to buy space in an ordinary
sleeper, with a resultant emphasis
on his recent plea for economy by
saving approximately $1,700 Of
public money.
