to become a United States Senator,
would be to betray the men with
whom he had been associated on the
battlefield and to whom he had made
definite pledges. But 1t was In the
end his exceptional record as execu-
tive of the legion which excited the
attention of President Coolidge and
led to his selection as Assistant Sec
retary of War a post which is prob
ably more congenial than seat in the
Senate.
Col. Mac Nider is the son OF one OF
the leading bankers in central Iowa,
Mr.. Charles II. McNider, and, being
an only child it was in the family
councils that he should eventually
take up his fathers calling. To this
end he was most carefully educated,
attending n private school at home
and then going to Milton Academy, In
Milton, Mass. He entered Harvard
and took his A. B. degree and was just
settling down to business when the
trouble on the Mexican border began.
Bong in the Iowa militia, he was
among the first volunteers. He was
on the border when this country en-
tered the World War, and he arrived
in France in the Summer OF 1917 as
a captain in the 9th u. S. Infantry.
He was mustered out as a colonel in
1919. after receiving three citations
for bravery in the Meuse. the Marine
and the Argonne offensives. The new
aide of Secretary Davis is smiling
and debonair to meet, but has repu-
tation for dynamic force and energy.
He works hard and plays hard, just
as does his chief. MIR. Dwight F.
Davis. but, like his wife, he is more
a horSeman than tennis or golf
player Col. and Mrs. MacNfder are
most enthusiastic Iowans, and their
first effort at social activity was to
join the Iowa State Society.

her parents do not know.
When she returned it was after

Nations Settle at Low Rate,
Then Borrow at High
Terms, Charge

While the war debt settlements
arranged with Italy, Belgium and
other European debtors probably
will be ratified with many votes
to spare, the approval Of Con-
gress is not going to be obtained
without a thorough airing of the
entire debt situation, and some ex-
pert probing of the international
banking business.
Western members of Congress,
now returning to the Capitol in
numbers for the opening session,
made this certain today. Voicing,
presumably, the sentiments Of
their constituencies, some Of these
Congressman are roundly denounc-
ing the settlements. Their ire is
particularly directed toward the
big international banking influ-
ences that have labored unceas-
ingly toward securing leniefit
terms for Americas debtors.
May Curb Banking Deals
It now seems entirely likely that
some drastic regulatory legislation
will be introduced, aimed at curb.
ing the activities of the big bank
ing houses Of Wall Street in for
eign fields.
One of the chief criticisms Of the
settlement plans is that debtor ma
tions come to Washington pleading
their poverty and their inability to
take up their paper even at the
rate the American Government is
paying On it-approximately Az per
cent-and then, as soon as the
lower rate Of interest is secured
they HE away to Wall Street and
freely negotiate for millions at z
and 8 per cent interest.
None of the foreign debt settle
ments have brought AN per cent,
the rate the Government is paying
on the Liberty bonds that brought
in the money. The British rate
was 3A per cent, the Belgian rate
about / " per cent, and the Italian
rate about y Of / per cent. The
difference is being paid by Amer
lean taxpayers-a point that will
be heavily stressed in the Congress
sional debate.
Numerous plans are being con-
sidered by returning Congressman
for curbing the activities of the
international bankers.
One of them is to tack an amend
ment on the revenue act, providing
for a fiat so per cent tax on in
comes derived from foreign bonds.

TURKEYS LOSE

By JOSEPHINE TIGHE

"Off with the fez" was the Of
fetal ukase of the government OF
Turkey last month, and those who
failed to obey and didn't take EN-
off had 'em snatched off, and right
in the streets OF Constantinople, too.
"Off with his head" is the official
pronunciamento of the American
gourmand who, day after tomorrow.
demands his turk without fez and
without head.
Mr.. American Turk, all dressed
up in a new sacrificial fez and with
no place to go but to the block, was
asked for a final statement ere the
jealous executioner got in his deadly
work.
Swelling to bursting point, more
than ever resembling that highly
popular type Of furniture known as
''overstuffed," and with the for
hidden fez set at a defiant angle Of
forty-five degrees, the American
Turk complied.

Prices, poultry dealers say, are a

business or in any,

His income was in

staring him in the face.
Why he couldn't
make the grade into a

cess was a mystery to
him. And those who

You, yourself, rarely know
when you have halitosis (unpleas-
ant breath). That's the insidious
thing about it. And even your
closest friends won't tell you.
Sometimes, of course, halitosis
comes from some deep-seated or
ganic disorder that requires pro-
fessional advice. But usually
and fortunately-halitosi is only
a local condition that yields to
the regular use of Listerine as a
mouth wash and gargle. 1t is an
interesting thing that this we'll
known antiseptic that has been
in use for years for surgical dress
ings, possesses these unusual
properties as a breath deodorant.
Test the remarkable deodoriz-
ing effects of Listerine this way:
Rub alittle onion on your fingers.
Then apply Listerine and note
how quickly the onion odor dis
appears.
This safe and long-trusted an
tiseptic has dozens of different
uses; note the little circular that
comes with every bottle. Your
druggist sells Listerine in the
original brown package only -
neper in bulk. There are three
sizes: three ounce, seven ounce
and fourteen ounce. Buy the
large size for economy.-Lam5ert
