NV informant and co-conspir-
ator in this exposition is a man
whose veracity is so pronounced
that even in strange towns
where he is knows nobody, it
isn't questioned. He is the sort
of fellow who, asked the time
by a passer-by, would apologize,
dash to the nearest phone booth
and call the Government OBJ
servatory to the end his iafor-
nation would not be misleading.
1t is this tower of truth, then;
this vulture. of veracity; this
fiend for fidelity, who tells me
that he worked on the lot with
Miss Bronson at the Fox studios
six months ago, when she was
doing her darndest to be an ar
tistic pair of tights among a
thousand.
Robert Ames, appearing now
with Spartan effort in his own
production, "Jack in the Pulpit"
at the Belasco, is remembered
by the great fraternity of golf
ers, not as actor, but as a
blond and tanned youngster on
the Washington Country Club
links, three years ago, woh nearly
defeated Albert Mackenzie in the
finals of the club championship,
Mackenzie winning out, one up in
eighteen holes. Just how good
a golfer that makes young Mr..
Ames can be guessed when it is
noted that year later McKen-
zie won the Middle Atlantic
championship.
Ames easily survived the
qualifying round in a field of
172 players, though playing in
a driving rain and disturbed by
thoughts of what a bad cold
would do to his engagement at
the National Theater then.
At the Belasco, this week, as
in every other theater he visits,
the Ames dressing room is clut-
tered from wall to wall with

FLARE UP
LEMENT
HOPED For
Concrete Funding Proposal by
France May Arise from
Controversy
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
international News - ,yice.

Administration officials were
frankly hopeful today that out Of
the present flare-up in Washington
and Paris over the status Of the
French war debt Of nearly 81 ,OO0,-
100000 will come some definite, con.
crete funding proposal from France
that will end this controversy once
and for all.
The highest officials OF the Gov
eminent characterize the debt con-
troversy as greater menace TO the
cordially of Franco American reIa,
tons than anything that has ever
arisen between the two countries
Of the squabble much longer, they
believe, will lead to complications
almost incemprehensible in their
effect on world relations.
Congress Is openly threatening
on the debt situation.
Threatens Action.
This is exemplified by the an.
nouncement privately made by one
Administration Senator that unless
the French government quits
flirting" with cancellation and
reputation, and gets down to
brass tacks" talk of settlement,
he will introduce at the end of
thirty days resolution expressing
the sense of Congress that all
private French credits in this coun-
try should be Immediately cut off.
The adoption of such a resolu-
ton is considered assured-so warm
is the feeling on the part of Re-
publicans and Democrats alike on
the question of war debts.
While the simple adoption of the
resolution would not legally prevent
American bankers from extending
further credits, thet moral effect
of such a resolution In the financial
world would be great enough, il
was said, to stop French credit
just as effectually as if legal bar
riers were erected. The fact that
the American Congress has no
faith in Frances capacity to pay
would act as a decided deterrent
to the American investor.
French Bonds Fall Off.
Even now, it was pointed out to-
day, as a result of NJ. ClementaIs
hints of reputation, and the SQUAD
bic that has ensued, French bonos
are falling off, and a check has
been put upon the plans of some
New York bankers for further
French credits totaling around
$500 .0O0, 900
There is no expectation on the
part of Congress or of Atlrninistra-
ton officials that France can enter
Immediately upon a complete dis
charge of her debt to the United
States. 1t is recognized that
moratorium probably viii be need
ed, with payments stretched out
over Ion gterm Of years, probably
a hundred. And there is no dispo-
sition to be harsh, either at the
Treasury or in Congress.

between acts is at work at his
work bench, which is equipped

sary to turning out finished

room Il am told) you are not
asked to have a cigar or q
drink; you are asked to heft
this club, grip that one, or to
eat that one if it isn't the best
midiron that ever permitted it
self to be stroked.
During occasional lulls, when
the last club has been shaped
and conditioned, and there are
still some minutes before the
next cue, Mr.. Ames, the story
goes, stands apace and views
with silent adoration-as a. Ben
edict before Niagara-the pre-
cious and matchless handiwork
Of his playtime moments.

UNCLE w1aGrLY,s PERFUME

"Uncle Wiggily, viii you please
get me spool Of thread?' asked
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy in the
hollow stump bungalow one day.
Right gladly / shall do that
little thing for you, spoke the
bunny rabbit gentleman, sort iof
fanciful like. With that he hand
ed Nurse Jane her work basket,
which had in it spoos of thread,
needles, pins and pair of sharp
scissors.
"Oh, net that thrcad!" laughed
the muskrat lady housckeeper. "If
had wanted a spool from my bas-
ket / could have reached it myself,
though | thank you just the same.
| | mean will you 90 to the eleven
and twelve cent store and buy me
a spool Of SKY blue pink buttonhole
twist to sew Il pocket in my new
dress.'
Right gladly viii I do that for
you!" said Uncle Wiggily, with q
jolly little pinkle of his twink
nose-oh, excuse mc-that's twist
ed, isn't it, just like some dough-
nuts. | mean his nose twinkled.
SO, taking his red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch, which
Nurse Jane had gnawed for him
out Of cornstalk, Uncle Wiggily
hoped off to the eight and nine
cent store.
81 suppose I'll get all mixed up
at the glove counter and the aisle
! where they sell stockings and rib
bons,' thought the bunny rabbit
gentleman as he stood for a moment
outside the place. "But no mat
ter! I promised Nurse Jane ia
get her the sky blue pink silk to
make q buttonhole and I'll do it!'
SO Uncle Wiggily hoped inside
the thirteen and fourteen cent store
and, seeing behind the counter a
little mousie girl, the rabbit gentle
man asked her:
"Where may I find sky blue
pink buttonhole twist for sewing
pockets OH O. dress?'

THE IRISH TO. EUROPE

With The sailing season still several weeks
ahead all accommodations have been reserved already
on many Of the big liners, and additional passengers
have to go on the waiting list trust to chance cancel
lations. This is true of both foreign and American
liners. If there equal demand for cargo space
in the American merchant marine the Shipping Board
would be happy. E
There are big prospects, too for domestic travel
with the national parks leading in interest. Railroads
and highways both will be crowded to capacity. But
the really remarkable thing is this rush to Europe
England France, Holland and Italy more atrac-
tive than eyer Germany and other parts of Central
Europe are calling they have not called since before
the war. New, free Ireland will attract unusual
number Of tourists.
Travel is cur favorite American way of spending
money. And though Americans may want little to do
with Europe politically they like to have great deal
to do with it personally.

Of the perfume when the Bear en-
tered.
"'What 8 that--in The bottleo''
growled the Bear.
"Sweet new boiled cabbage per.
fume?' answered The bunny.
''Hum! III take smell and
then / II take you away with me! "
arowled the Bear. "IIe picked up
the bottle, snapped out the cork and
took a long, strong sniff. Then he
gave a howl-oh, such q howl!
ooh, my neck! My neck! Oh, my
nose!" howled the Bear, and out OF
the door he ran.
"My! / guess he didn't like my
perfume" said Uncle Wiggily. But
when he looked he saw that tho
Bear had picked up the bottle left
by the lady pig. And that bottle
had in it strong ammonia that is
used in washing clothes. And 9
smell from that makes you feel as
if some one had hit you.
"Hal Ha! No wonder The Bear
was fooled!' laughed Uncle Wiggi'
ly. Then he picked up the ammo
MIA bottle, which the Bear had drop
ped, and the rabbit took good care
not to smell it. He corked it and
took another sniff of the lovely per
fume and when Nurse Jane camC
in he gave it to her. She liked il
very much. But the Bear had {

Lieut.. Gov. Young
Lauds Splendid
Showing of Voters

Tn letter to Cal Mousseau, coun-
tv clerk of Imperial county, Lieut..
Governor G. c. Young praised high
ly the efficiency of the county
clerk s office in handling the regis
tration Of voters this years. The
letter is as follows:
"TG have received from the see
rotary of state the report for reg
istratioH Of Imperial county up to
April ). / note that by that report
you show considerably higher per
cent of registration than at the COR
responding date in 1920. l want
to congratulate you on this show
ing, for l realize that III a year like
this, when interest in thing polite
al is not at high pitch, the good
results you show are chiefly due to
hard and intelligent work by your
own office.
81 was especially pleased with
the results in your county and
other counties, for, rs one who is
extremely interested in our primary
laws, | realize that their ultimate
success depends upon the extent to
which voters register for elections
and take part in them.
incidentally, ] want to thank
you again for your kindness in send
ing me returns from Imperial coun-
ty during the progress of registra-
tion.
"Yours very sincerely,
c. T.. Young.
