PLEADS FOR j S.
HELP IN EUROPE
America Must Aid in Putting
Dawes Plan Into Effect,
Herriott Says.

United Press STAFF Correspondent
Copyright, 1921, bV United Press)
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-'I appeal to
the United States for support in
carrying out the Dawes plan and we
will depend upon Americas help"
In an exclusive interview just be
fore leaving for Paris today, Premier
Rerriot Of France discussed what he
believed to be the outstanding fea-
ture of the successful plan Of apply
ing the Dawes reparations plan.
& 1--WE have reached an agreement
ow comes the work of executing
q be Dawes plan in the same spirit
4 which it was conceived" Herriot
said.
I'VE are writing fms to the old
volume of European history and are
beginning a new one.
New Era
Upon the public opinion Of the
various nations depends whether
our work here means the dawn OF
a new era for Europe and for the
world"
I'VE will need Americas help" he
said. Il appeal TO the United States
to support Europe in carrying out
the Dawes plan and we depend on
Americas help. You must give it
to us.
American public opinion has been
helpful in the present conference and
it will be needed to carry on the
work of removing the wars scars
and starting anew.
Conference Success
81 feel that the conference is a
success. But upon our work here
after depends whether we conson-
date that success. The good spirit
of all participants is necessary if We
are to trust instead of distrust.
The present conference differs
widely from past ones in its general
Herriot continued.
At feel it was due to the spirit Of
the French people that an agreement
was possible. It was their ardent
desire for peace that enabled those
who suffered most to sacrifice most
IN bringing peace.
"T feel the success Of the con
ference is due to the fact-aside
from the general inter-allied feeling
of mutual trust and the valuable aid
Of the American delegates-that
France, at the breaking point in the
first phase OF the conference, offered
a completely new formula TO over
come the disagreement regarding
means Of declaring possible German
defaults and imposing resultant
sanctions.
I'VE offered a new way for settling
treaty disputes by arbitration 10 a
point never dreamed. The extent Of
our sacrifice may be seen by re-
how it differs from the
previous formula.
New Chapter
THE many forms of arbitration
provided in the London agreement
are Frances contribution TO the new
era. They may prove to be a new
chapter in international law and in
ternational relations because never
in history have there been such safe
guards against dangers Of interna-
tional disagreements.
Now" Herriet concluded, I'VE
must get to work to execute the
Dawes plan. Frances sacrifice, writ
ten plainly in the London agree
ment, validifys the Dawes plan and
I ask the United States of America
TO help us and the world in winning
the fruits Of our efforts for peace"

seven feet above the floor to allow

stands a little more than eight feet
high, as some former owner has
added a case beneath the clock

colors on its face are bright and
fresh as though applied less than
two score years ago. The face is
sixteen inches in diameter. 1t has

the day of the month. The hands
are of hand-wrought iron. The case
is walnut. The finish on the out

OLDEST CLOCK IN
j. S. IS CLAIMED
BY BURLINGTON
Timepiece Came Originally
From England -213
Years Ago. s.
BIZ Times Spectdl


KOKOMO, Ind, Aug. 1S.-What is
thought to be one Of the oldest clocks
in private possession in the United
States is owned by John H. Oyler of
Burlington, fourteen miles west of
here. The clock, which Oyler inner
tied from his mother, Mrs. Catherine
Oyler, is 213 years old.
This clock is Sixty-flve years older
than the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence. It is 105 years older than the
statehood Of Indiana. The first watch
had been made in Nuremberg only
twenty-three years previously. AS
far as known 1t has never required
the attention of the ancient silver
smith or the modern jeweler. For
more than 200 years 1t has licked
away merrily, keeping good time. 1t
was running when George III was
on the throne of England. 1t licked
when the shot was fired at LeXing-
ton that was heard round the
world" It saw the war Of 1872 and
heard about the feats Of Commodore
Perry. It marked time through the
Indian wars and the Mexican inva-
sion. 1t licked away the last hours
as the volunteers of f62 babe fare
we'll to their families and their loved
ones. A relic, but still on the job,
it ran on when the Maine was blown
UP; and it was stiI unfaltering ten
years ago this month when scraps
of paper" were plunging the world
into it's greatest conflict. About
year ago its owner stopped 1t, but
from all appearances It is in perfect
condition and could start out to keep
time again today.

MORE MILK FOR
BABES LAST YEAR
AS WAGES ROSE.
Necessities Purchased,
Not Luxuries
(By The Federated Prsss)

More milk for babies appears to be
one of the outstanding results of the
year Of good wages, according to a
survey Of the consumption Of mix in
the country just completed By the
u. S. department of agriculture. It
bears out the experience of THE Met
ropolitan Life that higher wages are
not spent for luxuries but for neces-
stiles which workers families have
been forced to do without in the past.
Result: higher standard of health
and lower death rate.
Average consumption of milk in
1928 was SO gallons compared with so
gallons in 1922 and 40 gallons in 1921.
says the department. The average
daily consumption in 1923 figures out
1.6 pints per person.
The highest percaptia consumption
Of milk is found on farms which have
producing cows. On such farms IFS
pints per person were consumed in
1928. In city homes the percaptia
daily consumption falls to O.S7 pints
while on the farms without producing
COWS the average person consumes
only OTIS pints.
The survey shows that approxim-
ately one-eighth of the country's total
production of milk is necessary to
produce cream for the 1000, 600, 900
pounds Of coffee consumed annually
in this country. About 100000 cows
are necessary to produce this coffee
perquisite. But they don't help the
babies.
