COOLIDGE ACCEPTS
 |TALY'S OFFERS
Debt Repayment Plan Fair to
 Both Nations, He Believes

Washington, Nov. l4 Rl-Terms of the Italian debt funding agree ment, receiving formal signature today, appear to have been received with general satisfaction both in this country and Italy,
 AS they have noted the reaction in this country. treasury officials be- lleye the feeling of Americans gen. orally is reflected in the view of President Coolidge that the agree ment is fair to both nations and represents the maximum burden the | Italian people are able to bear. Es- | pecially do they feel assured Of this when 1t is considered that ltaly's ' debts 10 the United States and Eng ! land almost equaled the amount of the British debt to this nation. As reelected in the Italian press | Rome dispatches describe the feel 1 ing in that country over the terms dCtDl utI IL uS OnN VI GU 1li@ftAANh amounting to joy While some of i the Italian newspapers dwell on the burden which Italy has assumed, despite the concessions granted by | the United States, the press and | financial leaders generally are de- scrit>l as feeling that these Conces- sions have been greater than was 1 considered possible when the ltal- ian mission sailed for America.
 The favorable reaction among leading Italians is reported 10 be ! based 10 q great extent on the ef- feet of the agreement In opening the way for the Use Of American capital in developing Italian indus tries and improving the nations economic status generally. While official comment in Rome still lacking al this stag, the govern ment's attitude there IS regarded as fairly accurately reflected in the newspapers.
 Paris dispatches reporting stlin- ulauon of hope there that the terms of Italian-Auerican settlement may be a promise of greater leniency for France from the United States when negotiations are resumed on the French debt to this country have SO far eliclted no comment in otficiaI circles here.
 l. Is known, however, that the terms of the Italian settlement are regarded by American officials as strict adherence to the principle 1t has laid down for all debtor nations, of settling on basis of capacity 10 pay and as warranting no assump- ton that t intends 10 depart from that principle. It was the inability of the French and American com missions to agree on the question or , Frances capacity to pay that blocked Ithe way to a perna settlement during their recent negotiations here.
 The negotiations now under way here with the Rumanian mission for a settlement of Rumania's debt are expected to be carried forward In meetings between individuals, as in the case of the Czecho- -Slovakian debt. Formal joint meetings of the two commissions probably will be called upon when they have reached a more or less conclusive stage.

DAMASCUS LIKE
 BESE|GED CITY
Its Streets re Filled With
 Its Streets Are Filled With

Damascus, Syria, Nov. 14 P,-- Damascus Is like a besieged city. Everybody, except the military, must be indoors by ?. m. and dur ing the day there are so many sol- diers in the narrow thoroughfares that one Is almost continually pumping Into rifles, picking ones way through barbed wire entangle- ments or stumbling across sand bag barricades.
 At the curfew hour the street cars cease running, the people dis appear like magic and the most beautiful Of the Syrian cities be- comes as dead, apparently, as the desert surrounding it.
 Outside Damascus hardly a night passes that the rebels do not burn a bridge leading to the city, raid a suburb, or commit some other de- predation requiring the dispatch of q French expedition against them.
 All the territory between Mt. Hermon and Wadi Ajami, the size of the state of New Jersey. now Is In the hands of the Rebel Druse tribesmen and their nationalist al- lies, and the French forces hold only six cities on the railway from Aleppo in the north to Dera in the south.
 I'iFtp t1I 6n,Ihl q the force now in Syria, would be required 10 restore order in the country, competent observers de- clare. Even when these reinforce ments arrive, 1t Is feared they will suffer heavy losses In the guerilla warfare which as conducted here Is reminiscent Of the campaigns against the American Indians.
 American commerce in Syria, which had been steadily develop ing, has received a setback from which it is doubtful 1t can recover for many years. The largest Amer ican business, that in automobiles has come 10 a complete standstill, owing 10 the insecurity of motor traffic outside the cities. Likewise the importation of American agri- cultural machinery and kerosene has ceased.
 Three American business con. cerns which suffered from the French bombardment have filed claims against the government They are the Vacuum oil company the Singer Sewing Machine com pany and MacAndrews and Forbes.
 The American consul Is receiving inquiries from Syrians In the United States regarding relatives some of whom are In the rebel ter ritory. Thousands of these people are reported to be suffering be- cause Of the cutting off of remit tances from their relatives in America, estimated to total s200,' GOO monthly.

MRS. VALENTINO
 WANTS A DIVORCE
Sheik's Wife Admits She Is
 Making Such a Move

New York, Nov. fl Pl-The three months marital vacation" Of Ru- iolph Valentino and his wife Is on the verge 0, becoming permanent because the stork has not visited them.
 The screen star had a reservation on the Lcvlathan, sailing today, and has announced that he will go to Paris 10 accept a divorce petition filed there Oct. 29 by Mrs, Valentino,
 After dcnials by both sides. the filing Of the divorce suit was reveal ed lastinight by Mrs. Richard Hud- nut, Mrs, Valentino's mother, and then confirmed by Valentino.
 Tho cinema sheik, who came from Hollywood to New York last week just before Mrs. Yalcnttnos return from Europe. but didn't meet her at the pier, and apparently had not talked with her, says he Is home loving man and they disagreed be- cause his wife prefers dogs to babies
 AS 10 the next time he marries: "I will choose to have wife whose tastes are thoroughly domestic and who is inclined 10 have children"
 'T have been informed that Mrs Valentino has made application in Paris for a divorce on technical grounds permitted under the laws of France after having established a residence there." Valentino said last night. Tt is my intention to defer to her wishes in this matter
 AS I understand 1t, all l have 10 do is to establish a domicile In France"
 "Our divorce will b, complete divorce. IL will be consummated after my appearance in the French court with some further formalitics which include formal rejection of the courts formal invita- tion for us to become reconciled."
 This statement came from Rudy 24 hours after he had characterized divorce reports as absurd.
 When Mrs. Valentino came from Paris last week and heard of her husbands views as 10 dogs and babies she said that she had no in- tcntion of giving up her career and, anyway, her husband had more dogs than she.
 Nalcntino's first wife was Jean Acker, from whom he vas divorced In 1922. He married Winifred Hud- nut, step-daughter of a perfumery manufacturer. in May, 1922, In Mex ico. Shortly thereafter he vas ar rested on a charge of bigamy be- cause his California divorce had not become absolute under inc laws of that state. He vas released on his promise not to live with his bride nntil the divorce became effective. When it did he rcmarried Miss Hud nut, known professionally as Nata- cha RamboYa.

When Dribbling.
BY Sol Metzger-

one of the most important funda-
mentals of basket ball is to properly
execute the dribbe. AS the use of one
hand only is permitted when player
is dribbling. he should be careful to
bounce the ball to the floor in such a
way that he always has control of
il. That Is. he should bounce it direct
ly down from his waist.
He should never dribble unless he
has clear path to the basket, other
wise it breaks up team play. and that
is an essential in basket ball.
The illustration on the left shows
the correct method of dribblinc. The
illustration on the right shows the
PLAYER with the ball or feet away
from him and to the side. ~He has lit
tie control over it.
