Consistent with his attitude in

The real trading over an adjust
ment Of the $4,000 or. 900 French
war debt began today between
Joseph CaiIlaux, the why French
minister Of finance, and Andrew
w. Mellon, the canny American
Secretaryof the Treasury.
The initial proposal, formulated
by M. Caillaux and put forward BY
him in the first session Of the two
debt commissions, has been found
entirely unacceptable" to the
Americans.
It strayed so far from the Brit
ish and other agreements already
contaminated. and differed so
radically from what the Amer
leans believe constitutes fair
adjustment, that American opinion
was unanimous in its rejection.
Mellon to Counter
Communication OF this verdict to
M. Caillaux today was expected to
be followed by statement from
Mr.. Mellon and his associates Of
what they believe to be an equit-
able settlement of the controversy.
Then, with the problem bracketed
between two extremes. the two COM
missions can get down to a basis Of
real trading.
Disappointing as M. Caillaux's
proposition was to the American
Commissioners. there was still OPP
timism displayed on all sides today
that ultimately an agreement will
be reached. 1t had not been ex-
pected, least Of all by the Amer
leans, that the basis for an agree
ment would be found in the first
exchange of views between the
commissions. Members of the Amer
lean commission took the view that
the negotiations are following
logical course, with the French nat
urally seeking the best possible
terms at the outset.
M. Caillaux's original proposition
as a "feeler'-was an
involved one, and one that was ex-
tremely generous to France. While
it's details have not been officially
divulged, it was learned that it

BY FAY KING


One question of the day among
the younger married sets seems
to be: How far can ] go with
my friends husband without los
ing her friendship"
Each married lady in these
particular little groups kisses her
friends husband when she ar
rives and the fact that the wives
are looking on seems to put 1t
in proper class and make 1t i
sort of play.tOnic friendship.
If one of the wives feels a wave
OF jealous suspicion, she ~
ridiculed. and the surest proof
of friendship seems to be to toll
crate these harmless petting par
ties.
One wife who seems perfectly
satisfied to see her husband SIT
ting with his arm around her
friend, comforts herself with the
thought that it's better for him
to make love to her friend in
front of her than to sneak away
and make love to somebody else
she doesn't know behind her
back!
And, anyway, his harmless
little chumlike Filtration with
their friends wife is supposed to
mean nothing more than her
harmless little Filtration with
that friends husband. Fifty-fifty!
Now, of course, this may all
go along quite merrily, and under
the rules and regulations really
amount to nothing, but just the
same ! think it's a risky bust
ness.
And just as many truth Is
told in jest, so many a fight has
started in fun4

Things Which Are Of Interest to Youn
Spinning Top Merry-Go.Round.

Here's a merry go-round a group
OF boys can put up in vacant lot
or back yard.
The parts necessary to make the
nerry-go-round are an old wagon
wheel, four 2x6inch planks, feet
long, some rope. a post, an axle bar
and about two hours work.
The first thing to do is to set up
the post on which your merry-go-
round is to run. The post should
be embedded in the ground three or
four feet and should be about four
feet high. Next, put the steel axle
in the middle of the top of the post.
A giant lag screw will do very well
for the axle; it can be put in the
post easily and then have its square
head sawed off.
Now build the platform on the big
wagon wheel, by placing the planks
as shown and mailing them fast.
With this done, place the wheel on
the axle in the post and grease the
axle we'll so speed can be attained.
By placing a screw-eye bolt on the
hub of the wheel you make a place
where a length of rope can he at
tached. Use about so or so feet of
rope and then wind the merry-go-
round backward until the rope is
tightly wound around like a top.
Then one or two boys must pull it
rapidly and the merry-go-round will
turn like sixty. Capt. Zyb.

ure seekers from the cities, this part
of the country was the home and
hunting ground of the red men.
They were the first to gather the
sweet sap of the maple tree. which
we know as maple sugar and maple
sirup. The Indians tapped the trees,
putting in wooden spouts, and caught
the sap in birch bark buckets, which
they sewed with strong roots, sealing
the seams with pitch from the pine
tree.
Among themselves they spread the
legend that at night little winged
creatures came out to fly around the
