Smoot Put Feet on Table;
Paris Papers Are Ironical
Hears That Senator Ended Farley
With Shoes Elevated.

PARIS With the French debt
mission back from Washington a
story is being told in Paris OF how
Senator Smoot, OF the American COM
mission, put his feet on the table as
soon as its use for the negotiations
was over. The story has led the
Oeuver to suggest ironically that it
may become the fashion in France,
where everything American is initial
ed.
This gesture must not be taken as
a sign OF bad manners" says the
Oeuvre, but as marking the end OF
the conference. The action may not
be as striking as the Fascist salute,
but still it is pleasant, easy, large and
symbolic in a way that it can be felt
intuitively, rather than explained. 10
place foot on the table is a way OF
intimating that you have nothing else
to put there, and so discussion is clos
ed.
There is no doubt that feet on the
table will be it this year. We French
don't like the Americans to the point
OF handing over to them all the mon
ev the Germans are not paying us,
but we are snobs enough to believe
that, although it may be bad form IN
France to put your elbows on the
table. it must be chic to put your feet
there, because America does 1t.

BIRDS FLY FROM POLE
TO EQUATOR YEARLY
A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN
5000 MILES A MERE TRIFLE
FOR MANY OF THEM.

An annual flight from the north or
south pole to the equator-a distance
OF more than 5000 miles-is a mere
trihe for many species of birds. This
is one of the amazing discoveries made
by the Whitney South Sea Expedition
OF the American Museum of Natural
History.
Under the leadership of Rollo H.
Beck, veteran naturalist, an intensive
study OF the islands of the tropical
Pacific is being made.
Beck and his associates have found
birds in these islands whose nesting
places are in the arctic tundras. Yet
other birds whose home is in the ant
arctic region and who fly toward the
equator as the long night settles up
on the south pole have been discov-
cred in the islands.
The expedition seeks to obtain &C
curate and scientific data concerning
the islands and particularly the bird
life SO far many species of birds
never before caught or shot have been
collected by the expedition. Some of
the islands are only jutting rocks ris-
ing out OF the depths OF the ocean.
Others are ,low-lying atoiss. Still 9TH
ers, like Tahiti, Iare great volcanic
peaks, lofty and forest-clad, surround
ed by sandy beaches and coral reefs.
But all have the fascination so well
expressed by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Few men who come to the islands
leave them" he wrote. They grow
gray where they alighted. The palm
shades and the trade-winds fan them
till they die. "
But the islands have suffered from
freebooters, slavers, whalemen and
beachcombers.
Crowding OF pearl fishers. and copra
gatherers upon small islands has COM
pletely changed the original plant and
animal life of many of them Whole
tribes of natives have disappeared
from the face of the earth.
Among the unusual birds gathered
by the expedition is the fairy tern. 1t
is probably the most delicate and
thereal of all sea birds. 1t is pure
white with unusually large eyes
The bones are the only thing COW
cred and when seen against the trop-
ical sun the bird looks as though it
were being x-rayed, for the bones Of
the wings become visible through the
plumage.

DEATH CHEATS WISH
TO LIVE 100 YEARS
GEORGIA PIONEER PASSES AS
PLANS ARE MADE FOR
CENTURY BIRTHDAY.

GRIFFIN, Ga-While a thousand
relatives and friends planned a glori-
Gus barbecue for November 8, which
was to have celebrated the achieve
ment by w w. Grubbs of 100 years
OF life, the aged Georgia pioneer died
at his home in Orchard Hill, in Spal-
ding county, Thursday.
Death came in spite of the earnest
hope Of Mr.. Grubbs that he live to
see a century pass. 1t came in spite
.of loving care of his sons and daugh-
tiers, his grandchildren and great
grandchildren, who prayed that he
live for the birthday he so eagerly
awaited. He died quietly amid circle
Iof relatives and was buried Friday in
the little cemetery of the Rehoboth
Baptist church, near Griffin, an an
cient church that he had helped to
build.
Mr.. Grubbs is survived by six chill
dren, Al grandchildren, 50 grand
children and four great-great- grand
children.
Life History.
Mr.. Grubbs had a remarkable his
tory. His father was alive when
George Washington was president,
and would tell his little son of those
glorious days OF Americas young in
dependence. He was born in Jasper
county and, moving soon to Spalding,
saw middle Georgia develop from vir-
gin timber lands to a prosperous cot
ton country. He saw the Indians go
and the railroads come and the state
become great.
When the war between the states
broke out Mr.. Grubbs already was too
cid for active service, but volunteered
and was assigned to the quartermas-
ter's corps, in which he served for
four years.
Mr.. Grubbs was married in Spal-
ding county to Miss Sarah Kinard
and the couple lived together for more
than 90 years.

PEACHES FROM AFRICA ARE
SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES
Fruit Famous in Georgia Has Spread
To Many Countries.

South Africa has recently been
sending peaches to England in rather
large quantities, and few are t1nding
their way to this country by way OF
novelty. It is no doubt due to the ia
cility OF raising the peach from the
stone that it has spread to so many
countries, and to such a number OF
varieties.

from Plny, introduced it from Persia

in England since the middle OF the
sixteenth century, but climatic condi-
tons are generally against it for out
door culture, and has forced growers
to resort to glass.

Japanese Hunt Firefies.
In Japan there are firms that spe-
cialize in catching frefies and supply
ing them for garden parties and test1-

as decorations in cages about the gar
dens. Or they are released among the
guests like showers of sparks.
The FREELY hunters employed by
these firms go forth at sunset witt
long bamboo poles and bags OF mos
quito netting. They go on till they
come to a spot near water, where the
frehies make the water sparkle anc
twinkle as with tiny gems. The hunt
ers strike the willows with their poles
whereupon the frefies fall to the
ground and are easily swept into the
nets.

Mr.. Coward had no difficulty at

and when he had to leave there
he took it to the Little Theater,

Mr.. Coward, who is an actor
