MAY 8 IS DATE OF SPEAKERS CONTEST
Youthful Orators Will Compete
 for Coveted Prizes

New York, April 24.--several thousand high school contestants throughout the United states are now engaged in elimination trials for the second annual National Ora torical Contest "to increase interest In and respect for the Constitution, :" which is held under the auspices Of representative national newspapers,
 The flelde of youthful speakers will be further sifted down through successive district and state contests 10 produce a finalist for each of sev- en major zones. The honor seven will measure decalmation strides at Washington May 8 for prize awards of $500 to s2,Soo, and for enviable distinction in the school world.
 The contest supplements a nation- wide movement to foster better ap- preciation of the true meaning Of the charter document of American democracy. This has been under way for IS years among women's clubs, American school teachers and civic societies such as the National Security League.
 Primarily, the contest was launch cd to fire the youthful mind with a desire to learn the principles Of American government. Actually, its supporters say 1t has succeeded, and has gone this success one better. It has helped produce to a gratifying degree similar effect upon the adult mind in varied walks of life.
 Miss Etta V. Leighton, civic secre- tary of the National Security League B pioneer in the work, measures the first success hv the fuller cross-sec- ton of the student body to be seen represented in this years contest Last year, she said, the entrants were largerly the "stars," who pre- .umably would be helped the least This year the entry list carries both stars and plodders, the latter being the ones who will be helped more according to Miss Leighton, who re- ported a particularly heavy quots from rural and backwoods districts
 The National Security League hal received a flood of inquiries on the Constitution from the country al large which definitely dated from last years competition, Miss Leigh ton said. Conductors and brakemen rrocers and heads of concerns, trade unionites and doctors, all had ap pealed for ligst along the conspi cuous path the oratorical contes had opened.

REMEDY FOR
LAWLESSNESS
President Coolidge Urges
Public Sentiment Favor
ing Law Enforcement

Washington, Oct. 2l.--tR -Presi-
dent Coolidge believes a public con
science, enlightened by reason ra-
ther than the police powers of gov
ernmcnt, must be looked to as a
remedy for a condition of lnwless-
ness which he warns IS "altoge thcl
too prevalent"
"A lack of respect for government
and the conventions of enlightened
society is altogether too apparent
the president declared in an address
here last night at the annual coun-
ell of congregational churches.
Asserting that "if there are any
general failures in the enforcement
Of the law, it is because there have
first been general failures in the
disposition to observe the law" the
president saw in the "influencc of
religion" the only adequate remedy
for the evil.
The governments part in the re-
preston of crime and wrongdoing
must be buttressed by an cnlighten-
cd conscience and Il 'determincd
public sentiment in favor of law
enforcement, Mr.. Coolidge said. be-
fore it ''reuches its highest applica-
ton"

FRENCH WILL
OFFER SECOND
DEBT PROPOSAL
Negotiations With United
States For Debt Settle
ment to BE Renewed

Paris, Oct. (P)-Thc French
government is preparing counter
proposal on the debt question which
will probably be sent to Washington
next week.
The provisional accord brought
back from Washington by Foreign
Minister Caillaux and his delegation
was so unfavorably received in par
liamentary circles that it is felt
preferable to renew negotiations for
final agreement with the United
States rather than submit the pro-
visional plan to the senate and
chamber.
The American counter proposals
which NJ. Cailaux took back with
him to Paris called for payment of
annual installments of $40,00O,000
for the next five years as full cur
rent interest during that period on
the consolidated debt of about S4,-
2OO,OOO,O0O owed to the United
States government by France.

No Law Prevents Individual
Borrowing or Loaning,
Says Attorney General

Special agents for the state sccur-
tiles commission today returned to
Bismarck from Robinson where they
investigated the activities of A. C..
Townley, former Nonpartisan chief
tain, in the promotion Of an oil well
there. A report will be filed with
the commission at n meeting this
afternoon.
In n statement to The Associated
Press Townlcy said he is not selling
stock. but that he is borrowing
money from his friends, giving only
his note as security. for the purpose
Of financing drilling operations to
determine if there is oil under the
4 200 acres of land which he has un-
der lease.
Townley refused to disclose how
many Of his friends have invested
with him or the amount of money
which he and his agents have gar
nered to date. Nightly meetings are
being held in building which he
has constructed on the leased prom
erty. They are attended by from so
to 10 people and often last far into
the night and sometimes until morn
ing.
Personally Responsible
said he is making himself personally
responsible for repayment Of the
money borrowed on the notes and
that he is mot even promising that

His hope that he will strike oil
is based largely on the discovery at
