MILE RUNNING KING WILL DESERT PATHS
 TO BE MISSIONARY

BOSTON, Jan. 12.-One of the most unusual chapters in athletic history surrounds the career of Ray Buker, national mile running champion, and hailed by Paavo Nurmi, the great Finn, as his most dangerous rival at 1500 meters in America.
 Buker who represented Uncle Sam in the Paris Olympics and re- turned to dethrone Joie Ray as Am erican mile titleholder will make his farewell on the track during the coming indoor season. With his twin brother, Richard, he is prepar- ing for South American, missionary servce, but before he leaves to take up this task, Ray hopes to match strides at least once more with Nurmi and his other rivals. He may get his first opportunity in the Mile Special at the Finnish-Am- erican games here January 6, when he is entered with a crack field, in- cluding Nurmi and Joie Ray.
 Missionaries of a new type, the Buker boys, both athletic stars and rivals in their days at Bates college,

 Probably the majority of us don t know J. D.. Skaggs but the directors of the Southeastern do. We doubt not that there were relatives of some of the big stockholders in the concern hanging around who would have accepted the position if it had been offered them, but it wasn't. t3
 And who is Skaggs? He is fellow who was driving wagon for an express company 31 years ago. He good driver and paid attention to his business, and his superiors gave him better job. He made good at everything he tackled, and went right on winning promotions. Now he is the boss of the whole works
 That's pretty good bedtime story to tell the little boys who are old enough to play fireman" or policeman or something else in which they pie ture themselves heroes.
 It Is all right to send the children into dream land thinking about Little Red Riding Hood'' and Jack the Giant Killer,'' but vary the programme little by telling about Skaggs the driver and Skaggs the president
 Let the little boys know that the door of oppor- tunty is locked that it always opens to those who pull the latch string.

COOLIDGE FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
 U. s. NAVY.

Improvement in the condition of the navy, which is not maintaining its share of the 5-53 combination agreed upon at the Washington conference in 1922 is assured by the act of President Coolidge in signing the bill for the construction of eight new scout cruisers which will cost about $ 900 each the building of river gunboats to be used principal ly in Chinese waters, and the modernization of six of the older battleships which will be converted from coal burners to oil burners and undergo other inn provement, including armor reinforcement We cannot maintain great navy without mcurring heavy outlays and there is the slightest probab
 ity that the country will take part in anything re sembling 'naval race, about which much has been said recently. The fact is, it is doubtful that our navy will be kept to parity with that of Great Britain to which it is entitled under the arms treaty and which 1t should maintain.

The average magazine story these days starts off with half dozen paragraphs and ustra~ tlon, and then jumps to the advertising section, where it tr;c'.ies along between canned milk aid floor wax.
 It's hard to read straight through even love passage without splling into the paid matter, and getting distorted idea of what the author is saying. Unless you pay strict attention to the continued on'' guide lnes the result is apt to be something like this:

' A certain outside church prints on the back of its program of services these words:
 'I will not worry,'' "I will not be afraid, ,'' "I will not give way to anger, "I will not yield to w. jealousy or hatred, 7 ''I will be kind to every man, woman and child with whom I come in con- tact q will be cheerful and hopeful ''I will t1ust in God and bravey face the future"
 Some will scoff and some will laugh but they are worth attention just the About all there is in life worth striving for is suggested in these few lines. Houses, lands, bonds, automobiles are fine possessions. But far precious still to any one in any station the of the mind and soul-composure, courage, cheerfulness, tolerance, kindness, hope-all these and faith in something higher than that which the eyes see and the hand holds.

interest scaled down from 5. per

per cent.
A graduated scale of payments.
beginning modestly at $50, 1000, 900
annually for a considerable period,
and then gradually increasing to
an approximate $70,000,000 max
imum during the latter years Of
the agreement-the whole to bear
an interest rate of the same per
cent, or slightly less.
Over a period Of sixty-two years,
the average life of the funding
agreements, concessions of this
nature would amount to billions Of
dollars, and amount virtually to
cancellation of huge part of the
existing debt.
The American Commissioners
were quick to point out that NJ.
Cai1laux's offer really constituted
is now paying $40, 100000 a year to
the American Government as inter
est on the $400. 900 900 debt con-
tracted Immediately after the war
in the purchase of surplus A. z. F..
supplies, which, incidentally, were
worth considerably more than
81 ,000, 000, 900. Thus, were the offer
accepted, 1t would mean that
France would pay for a consider
able period Of years, precisely the
same on her whole debt as she is
now paying on a comparatively
minor part of the debt.
Hitch Over Low Interest
This phase OF it, however, was
not so unacceptable to the Amer
lean Commissioners as was the in
terest reduction asked by M. Call
laux.
Each of the seven funding agree
ments already reached with debtor
nations carry interest at a rate ap-
proximating slightly more than 81
per cent.
The American Government is
paying Az per cent on this same
money to holders Of Liberty bonds,
thus taking a net loss OF per
cent. which is met every year by
American taxpayers. Considering
that the total foreign debts are
roundly $4,000, 100000 it can be
seen that even this per cent loss
constitutes a severe drain on the
American taxpayer.
This is the point over which
Congress has kicked in the ratifi-
cation of every debt funding agree
ment. And influential leaders in
the Senate, like Senator William
E. Borch, have virtually served an
ultimatum on the American Debt
Commission that they will oppose
ratification of any agreement with
any nation that contemplates any
greater sacrifices by tho American
taxpayer.
Better Offer Expected
The American Commissioners do
not by any means consider that
the Caillaux offer is Frances "best
offer" If it is, as one member of
the Commission, tersely phrased it:
They might as we'll go home"
NJ. Caillaux accompanied his prom
osition with a lengthy exposition
of Frances fiscal and economic sit
uation, which contains statements
and figures which are decidedly at
variance with the statements and
figures that Treasury experts have
been energetically collecting for a
year.
The picture of the case as pre-
>ented by the French finance min
lister will be altered by the Treas
ury's own paint brush. While GER
tain of NJ. Caillaux's statistics are
conceded to be accurate, there are
others, relating to Frances future
ability to pay, which will be con-
rroverted all down the line.

priest, an acquaintance of Sir
Hari and recent arrival in Lon
don, in an exclusive interview
with international News Service
today.

Unknown to Sir Hari, the Indian
priest said, the intimate details of
his escapades in Europe, reached
the old Maharajah, Sir Pratab
Singh, before the young prince re-
turned to India in 1920
That was shortly after Sir Hari
had been surprised in a Paris
hotel with Mrs. Maude Robinson,
pretty wife of a London book
maker, but long before his ad-
ventures with her had been aired
in court.
He Does Penance
Sir Hari was surprised and
chagrined when he reached the
royal palace at srinagar to find
that his uncle refused to receive
him. Furthermore. he was toldA If
he wanted to remain in the good
graces of the Maharajah he would
have to purify his SOUL" by per.

for those guilty of major infrac.

1863 CARS LETTUCE
SHIPPED SO FAR,
SEASON IS LATE

From December 10, when lettuce
carload shipments began, to and in
Guiding December 81, total of 800
ears were shipped from Imperial
Valley according to the records kept
by C. w. Runge of the Southern Pa
cific company, who says $50 ears
had gone out at this time last year.
! This total is considerably below
the figure reached during the same
period in 1923 and the shortage is
explained by the fact that the sea-
son is late this year, due largely to
the water shortage which the valley
experienced during the fall months,
thereby holding back lettuce plant
ing.
There was little shipping done
from the valley yesterday. only "a
ears going out, as compared with 81
on Wednesday. Owing tosthe holi-
day, it was difficult to keep the
laborers at work in the fields and
packing sheds. and some firms sus-
pended operations completely.
With the holidays now q thing of
the past, and warmer weather dur
ing the day, it is expected lettuce
shipments will increase greatly dur
