How the Story of 'Men''
Happened to be Written

Behind the motion picture there is
frequently a story as interesting as
the film-story itself
Several years ago Dimitri Buchowe-
tiki went on a two months trip
through the south of France. His
imaginative mind saw thousand in.
cidents that would make excellent
motion picture material In a small
fishing village on the Gulf OF Lyons
an inn-keeper told him an amazing
story 1t was the history of Cleo" a
waitress in village wine shop, and
the remarkable adventures which she
experienced.
Today the story told by the French
inn-keeper TO Dimitri BuchowetzH is
inscribed upon seven reels of film.
and Pola Negri has added the color
ful personality OF Cleo" to her gall
cry OF vivid characterizations.
This was the origin OF the story Of
Men"
The story. which follows the life
history Of a French girl from her
obscure village to the time when she
dominates the French stage, illus
trates the pursuit which all pretty
women OF all ages have endured from
all men.

BABE LEFT ON DOORSTEP
OF DELTA COUPLE TUESDAY

Out Of the everywhere, into the
here"
Where did the tiny bit Of humanity
left on the doorstep of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gordon Wisoner Tuesday evening
come from? Who are its parents? Was
it taken there by some unfortunate
girl who perhaps loved not wisely but
too well, or did some destitute mother,
fearing starvation, take the tiny atom
where she knew there would be
warmth, welcome and the comforts Of
life
These and hundreds of other ques-
tions are upon the lips of all Delta
today, but the big blue eyes Of the
baby look contentedly about and the
baby girl only smiles contentedly,
while nearly a dozen women are
clamOring for the privilege Of taking
her into their homes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wisoner had attended
a meeting OF the Sunday school board
at the Methodist church, and during
their absence, some unknown person
placed the baby girl upon the door
steps. Attention of Mrs. Carl Hines,
Mrs. R. c. Egnew and other nearby
neighbors was attracted by the
crying of the infant. and Coroner
Remley, acting sheriff. was notified.
He took it to the hospital where It
was kept until morning. Several
physicians examined the baby and
pronounced it physically sound.
The child is apparently four or five
weeks OF age, and was cleanly dress
ed, though there was only a meagre
wardrobe. There was also a piece Of
CASTLE soap and a box of talcum
powder.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wisoner feel certain
that the baby was intended for them
and expect to take out adoption pap
ers.

M. D. VINCENT SPEAKS TO
DELTA W0MAN'S CLUB

To the efforts of Mrs. ]. E. Hillman
the Woman's club is indebted for
really worth while program at its
regular meeting Wednesday. The
topic, Good Citizenship" had been
chosen, the program being in charge
OF Mrs. Hillman, who read a short but
very impressive article upon the re-
sponsibility of voting. The article
admonished women to avail themsely-
es of the privilege Of voting, pointing
out that It is not only a privilege but
sacred duty, that by so doing we do
our mite toward making the laws that
govern this mighty nation Of ours.
Mrs. Hillman then introduced Mr..
Vincent OF Grand Junction. Mr.. Vim
cent said he was glad to speak to the
club as It afforded him an opportunity
Of paving a debt that he felt he owed
the club as he had been unable to
fulfill his appointment during the re-
cent Womans convention held in Del
ia.
Mr. Vincent said the subject Good
Citizenship" was n broad one; that
he would speak upon It from an angle
being discussed both in mems and
woman's organization, the Constitution
and Good Citizenship.
Mr.. Vincent pointed out that TO be a
good citizen one must understand the
Constitution by which our nation is
governed. The Constitution as 1t was
framed just after the Revolutionary
War. a Constitution carrying pro
vision for amendments from time to
time: explaining how such amend.
mcnts are made. how the executive
power is invested in a President Of
the United States: the legislative
power in n Congress. while the ju-
dicial power OF the United States is
vested in the courts. He explained
why this should be He explained the
right Of every citizen to protection by

crimes. except IN cases OF impeach-
ment. shall be by jury. He especially
emphasized the functions OF the
courts regarding liberty and justice
for the people.
Mr Vincent explained how in
amending our Constitution we might.
without careful judgment. shatter the
original purpose for which It was es-
tabllshed Comparing the building Of
the constitution to the building and re
modelling OF house, We may add
rooms and otherwise improve our
homes. but we must not destroy the
foundation upon which It stands.
Mr.. Vincent said that he believed
that every teacher in our public
schools should feel the Importance OF
teaching the Constitution OF the
United States TO the pupils so that
upon leaving high school every child
would 20 forth with n thorough
knowledge OF the law by which we
are governed, thus making them more

DELAY WITH NO
PROTEST HELD
NOT TRIAL BAR
Supreme Court Declines To
Overtufn Decision in
Liquor Runners Case

A person who procures postpone
ment of his criminal trial beyond
two terms while out on bail is not
entitled to discharge under the
state statutes providing for prompt
trial in criminal cases, the supreme
court held today in a decision hand
ed down in the case of Walter Din
ger, charged with transportation of
liquor.
Dinger, convicted in 1923, appealed
from the district court of Renville
county, which is affirmed in the de-
cision. The high court found that
the defendant was arrested in June,
1921, informed against at the Janu-
ary, 1922, term of court in Renville
county, jury was called but the
case. postponed at the defendants s
request, there was no jury term
in July, 1922, or January, 1928, and
that later the defendant was tried
and convicted.
Where a person accused of crime,
who is informed agains0 at the Jan
uary, 1922, term of the district court
and is at. all times out on bail, pro-
cures pOstpOnement over that term
he is not entitled to discharge for
delay, pursuant to section 1ll66 c..
L. 1913, and section 13, Constitution
of North Dakota, merely because no
jury is called at the next two terms
of court and he is not then given a
trial, the accused not having resisted
any way, asked that jury be called,
demanded trial, or in any manner
indicated desire for speedier
trial than the state accorded him"

written by Justice Sveinbjorn John

FRENCH SEE ENDORSEMENT,

Paris, April 1o.-(By the A. PDrI
After twenty-f four hours con sidera-
tion Of the two reports of the re-
clared today no official opinion had
been formed on the recommendation
contained in the documents.
Satisfaction was freely expressed.
however, that experts had found tes-
timony to confirm the French evi-
dence tending to confirm the French
attitude regarding Germany. .s
1t is assumed by the officials that
the Dawes report justifies what the
French have been saying as to these
four points:
That Germany was allowing her
capital to be sent out of the coun-
try. beit,
That she was practising mad pro-
digality in her budget 80.
That she was neelecting to impose
proper taxation;
That she was extensively develop.
ing her entire industrial installation
in flagrant contradiction to her con-
tinued plea of distress.
One OF the unexpected results Of
the filing. of the report is to end all
talk of an approaching entente con-
ference. 1t is declared at the foreign
office that official circles are ignoy-
ant of any intention by Premier
Macdonald of Great Britain to come
to France and are unaware of any
tentative suggestions to organize a
, meeting Of the British Premier with
Premier Poincare.
Meanwhile it is thought probable
that the reparations commission will
endeavor to draw out the attitude of
the German government ana that it
will refer the report to the allied
governments only after it had ac-
quired clear idea as to whether the
Berlin government is ready to accept
the experts suggestion.
