PROSPECT OF BUILDING
 BIG TOBACCO INDUSTRY
 IN ENGLAND ABANDONED

LONDON, Dec. 9.-England will never be a tobacco growing country unless the present atstes of tobacco users change. The committee of the treasury department appointed to in- quire into the tobacco industry and to report on the possibility of grow unless the present taste of tobacco said in it's report that the English to- bacco had a distinct flavor which is foreign to the acquired taste of the consumer and therefore rarely ap- preciated by him. The trade, in fact, could never be profitable.
 The committee does not recon mend any further expenditure of pub lie funds toward attempting to build a large tobacco industry in Great Britain.

CARIBOU PASS DAWSON
 IN HEAVY ICE FLOES

DAWSON, Dec. Sunday after noon Dawson citizens promenading along the waterfront were treated to an unusual sight. Two carihon cows and two calves were seen struggling amongst the moving mass of ice in the Yukon river. When directly Op- posite the White Pass dock the two cows and one calf managed after a hard struggle, to scramble upon the shore ice and was carried slowly downstream. When the mother car ibou saw her offspring drifting away she leaped into the river again and when last seen by the spectators she and her calf were nearing the ship yards below West Dawson. The other COW and calf took to the West Dawson hills, followed by Fisherman Rocco's dogs.
 All caribou venturing to cross the Yukon river while it is chpked with flowing ice do not succeed, as is shown by the mute evidence frozen in the ice on the river wherever bands have crossed late in the season. One hunter some years ago counted 25 caribou frozen in the ice within a small area.

SLEEK AND SHEBA ARE MOST DANGEROUS
 TYPE OF CRIMINALS

The so-called "sheik" and "sheba'' constitute the most dangerous type of criminal in the United States to- day, according to Prof Andrew D. Bruce, of the Northwestern Univer- sity. Girls in shop, school and of flee strain perpetually to attract the young men by exaggerated pep and flashy dressing. And the boys can only make a hit with a fast car and a fat wallet. From this there can be but one result-crime.
 Any man who allows his son or daughter to sport s5,0OO car around a high school or college campus, is, in my opinion, an enemy of society. Instead of being an institution of learning, the university is place for social display. I know of cases where fathers have been obliged to steal to support their sons and their daughters who were cavorting around at "proms'' and other functions, in the best of dress. A mans car to- day is barometer of that mans re spectability. How can there be such a thing as law and order when any maron, bootlegger or kid can carry a gun with impunity?

DECLARES DAWES PLAN
ORIGINATED IN LEAGUE
Mrs. William Atherton Du Puy
Would Take Credit From Vice
Presidential Nominee.

Credit for the Dawes plan" was
given over to the League of Nations
by Mrs William Atherton Du Puy.
who addressed the gathering of the
is-Bryan Progressive Democratic
Club last night at the Shoreham
Hotel. Mrs. Walter E. Hutton, presi-
dent of the club. presided.
Dawes followed the proven method
of the League of Nations when he
wrote the plan for the rehabilitation
of Germany" Mrs. Du Puy said. Two
years earlier the league had put into
operation scheme to put Austria on
its feet The scheme had been evolved
by the financial commission Of the
league. 1t worked. 1t was the one
demonstrated plan for accomplishing
such a task. Naturally students OF
such problems turned to it,
The first step in rehabilitating
Austria had been to give it currency
with a stable value. Its krone was
in the same plight as the German
mark. The league commission pro-
vided for the establishment of a bank
of issue which alone should be author
lied to print money.
THE Dawes scheme does the same.
1t provided that this currency should
have gold or it's equivalent back OF
it; that it should be redeemable at
a given gold value. The German
bank is to do the same. Thus is a
currency established that makes bus
mess possible.
When the Austrian plan was ready
an American was. asked to become
the commissioner for administering
it. 1t was felt that an American
could be depended upon to be dlsln-
terested. Our State Department OBJ
jected and Dutchman. Dr. thinner
man. was appointed. The only Amer
lean to go to Austria with DR.. Z1m-
norman was my husband. William
Atherton Du Puy. He witnessed the
setting up of the Austrian plan.
That plan has since been applied
to Hungary by the league. 1t is but
natural that Gen. Dawes should have
used proven methods. Gen. Dawes is,
in fact, enthusiastic over the League
of Nations but does not dare say So"
