DAWES BACK HOME
 ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Celebrates 59th Anniversary by
 Preparing His Next Speech
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Evanston, H.. Aug. 27.-Charles c. Dawes. republican candidate for vice. president, spent today-his fifty- ninth birthday--at his home at work on the address he will make Friday night at Lincoln, Neb.
 Arrival home from his speaking trip to Maine last night permitted MT. Dawes to realize his desire to spend his birthday with hts family. No special observance of the day was planned except a birthday dinner tonight at which members of his campaign travelling party, including newspaper correspondents, will be guests.
 The vice-presidential candidate will speak extemporaneously at Lin- coin, Neb., but he had before him today for study considerable statisti- cal information on the agricultural problem, which will be principal subject of his address.
 William M. Butler, chairman of the republican national committee, and Representative Sanders of 1n- diana, head of the speakers bu- reau of the national committee, probably will confer with Mir. Dawes before his departure Thurs day night for Lincoln. The speak ing trip itinerary of the nominee has not been definitely concluded beyond the Lincoln address, and this matter will be discussed at the conference.
 MT. Dawes probably will return to Evanston after his Lincoln ad- dress and probably will not start on another trip until after Labor Day. Requests for addresses are on file from the republican organizations ot almost every state, and an especially urgent request has been made by National Committeeman Taylor Of Tennessee. In event of trip to Ten neseee it is considered likely that one or two speeches also will be made in Kentucky.

.HERRIOT TO SIGN
 DAWES AGREEMENT
French Parliament Has Ratified
 Plan-Gernany to Act

Bv The Associated Press.
 Paris, Aug. 27.-By virtue Of the senate's approval last night, Premier Herriot now is fully empowered to sign the London agreement and do everything necessary to put the Dawes plan into effect, as the cham Der of deputies previously sanctioned his course by voting its confidence Sunday morning after an all nlsnt session. The vote in the senate which came after long depate' was 206 to 40.
 NJ. Herriot and the reparation commission now are awaiting the vote in the German Reichstag before taking further action, but in view or the weakening nationalist opposition little doubt is felt here about the German acceptance and the flnal signature of the agreement on Sat urday at London.
 The Belgian cabinet has already given it's ratification without bring ing the matter before parliament, as there is no appreciable controversy in that country over the accepta- bility of the accord.

Entertainments Planned

A great variety of entertainments Is projected for the coming season. On October 21. Eddy-Glover post, American Legion will stage show of some sort for the boys, while the Rotary club. EllSs, Lions and Ki- wanis club are booked for other nights during the winter. The ladies' auxiliary of the club will run parties appropriate to Washington's birth day and Christmas and is planning to hold free dances, properly super vised, for the older club members and their girl friends. Parties are also planned for the intermediate and junior classes.
 Intra-clu jealousy in athletics will be eliminated this year as there will be no "Crescents," "Panthers," etc., claiming the championship of the city or state. Instead, there will be just Boys club teams, senior. a junior, and an intermediate team, with probably a senior second team. Plans are under way for a state bas- ketball league, Meriden and Bristol having already signed and only one more city, preferably Hartford, be- ing necessary.
 There will also be basketball, vol ley ball, and indoor baseball leagues within the club as last year, these serving as training schools for the members of the official club teams. Gym classes will be arranged &C., cording to the age of the boys, while a leaders class is planned to provide assistants for Ray Anderson in | handling the other classes.
 The club opens officially next Tuesday, but the first two weeks will probably de devoted mainly to registering the boys, When MT. Skinner took the club over last fall it was practically without member ship, but he has built it up to 800 and has his eye on the 1000 mark l for this winter.

lOntentment Is
Not Matter OF

BY SOPHIE IKENE LOEB

A i gathering of a group OF people
~ the subject Of contentment was
Thoroughly discussed. There were
yarious opinions, but all summed UP. it
was astonishing to hear that each one
wanted you to believe that he would
be, satisfied with very little in the
way Of money il contentment were as
sured-and with very simple things.
Yet nearly every one Of those people
is constantly climbing toward greater
heights and striving to make more and
more money. 1t sounds good to say
that. you would be satisfied and happy
With very little. but it is mot 30 as. a
general thing. Contentmeht lies not 50
much in what you have and what You

this, that and the other thing, either
to kill time OF to keep time from over
taking them, and therefore the unrest.
No one may say that when such
and such thing happens, or when
he has so much money, then will he
be contented. The spirit of content
ment does not come that way. Usually
when you strive for SO much. you
want more, and such people go
through life longing for the moon, and
their moments of reel satisfaction are
rare.
But to secure genuine peace - as
far as that is possible, the effort to-
ward it must be made every day, and
it can be cultivated by acquiring the
habit of making the best of things as
they come along.
