SO get you III, Sand rest your feet,
and there will be no charge" He
rode with me a parasang, and bored
me with his talk; l listened to his
grim harangue, then said, Get out
and walk. You might have ridden
long and far, but when you take
your seat you start to criticize my
car, which simply can't be beat. You
cannot understand, you say, with
ing human jay should buy a boat

there he cussed the idle rich and

took a skate who asked me for a
ride: This bus" he said, SIS up-to-

1T is luxury to scoot in such a fine
sedan; she is a peach. she is a beaut,
and I'm lucky man." Such lam
guage evermore enchants the motor

ECONOMY RESULTS
FROM DAWES PLAN
Application to Reparation
DiminiSheS Work of Com
mission, Reducing Staff.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS. September 24.-Application
of the Dawes reparation plan is so
diminishing the activities of the repa-
ration commission that the commits
sion's staff is being cut down consid
erably. and the eventuality of impor-
tant changes in the commission itself
is being considered in diplomatic and
political circles.
1t is understood here that the rBit-
ish government is in favor of radically
reducing the expenses of the commits
sion, even favoring the substitution of
regular diplomatic agents for the
present members
Realization of this project is meeting
with difficulty from French sources,
where any belittling of the impor-
tance of the commission and any
diminishing of its activity before the
efficiency of the Dawes plan is definite
ly demonstrated are looked upon with
disfavor.
1t is thought possible, however. that
the assistant members of the commits
sion may succeed the principal dele
gates for some of the member coun-
tries. These assistant members would
be aided by the legations in Paris of
their respective countries.

an investigation, reported to the
board that the repair fund could not
