By David c. Burikhaiter
There's loathsome sort of creature
That goes speeding thru the
town
With not one redeeming feature,
He's a reckless sort of clown.
He is always in a hurry
He's a senseess kind lof "slink"
And you'll find he'll seldom worry
Bout what other people think.
All we folks should go a cunning
For this crazy, slothful "lout"
That we often see running,
Here and there and round about.
He's a menace, he's a terror
In his maniacal ways
And you'll find that he. doesn't care
A "whoop" about the fine he pays.
We've been running round and
"struttin';'
We've been thinking just of
graft
?Stop it, Punish this speed gluttor
Who is giving US the laugh.
Let us put these birds in cages
Of our jails, give them taste
So that on the futures pages
Our redemption may be traced.

George Washington Wander
bilt, Becomes Solon's Wife

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Evening
Standard Wednesday stated that
United States Senator Peter Goelet
Gerry, of Rhode Island, will within
few days be married here to Mrs.
Edith Vanderbilt, widow of George
Washington Vanderbilt.
Friends of Senator Gerry and Mrs.
Vanderbilt this afternoon confirmed
the report of their plans. The cere-
mony will be performed this morning
in the Princess street registers of
flee. Only a few intimate friends
have been invited.
Senator Gerry is the son of Com
modore Elbridge Gerry, direct des-
cendant of Elbridge T. Gerry, one
of signers of the Declaration of In
dependence. Senator Gerry's first
wife, the former Mathilde S. Town
send,of Washington, D. C. is now

YEARS WORK
IN NEAR EAST
Near East Relief Gives Idea of
the Work of Their
Organization

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. IA
The annual report of the Near East
Relief gives an idea of how far
reaching has been the work of this
organization, and the extent to
which it has carried on orphanage
and child welfare work during the
twelve months. The organization
reached 554,978 persons, and the to-
tai Expenditures were just short of
$4,00O,00O.
The general interest of Ameri-
cans in the work is shown in that
there were ACT 1925 official receipts
issued to contributors. Many of
these represented large groups. The
appeal it made is therefore clear
1t is certainly true that the num-
Der of dollars does not measure the
good done by these contributions
of Americans. The spirit in which
the relief is undertaken counts for
more than the sums given. The want
and suffering might have been ignor-
ed, but America has never failed to
offer help where help is needed.
The policy of the organization has
not been one of merely feeding the
hungry and clothing the naked. To
assist to self-support has been the
object in the case of the able-bodied,
though large part of the effort
! deals with women and children. In
the amount of good which such work
promotes, there is abundant COM
pensation for the expenditure of la
Dor and money.

FRENCH PREPARE
new PROPOSAL
FOR VAR DEBT
Action Forced BY Opposition to
Former Agreement; To Sub
nit 1t Next Week

PARIS, Oct. Finance Minis
ter Callaux is preparing counter
proposal for the settlement of
Frances debts to the United States
The substance of this new offer.
which is expected to go forward to
Washington next week, was discuss
ed by Premier Painleve and M. Cal
faux at luncheon today, attended by
other members of the French debt
mission which visited Washington.
This question was considered at
the last meeting of the cabinet,
which approved the suggestion of the
finance minister that another effort
be made at once to come to a COM
promise with the American debt
funding commission before present
ing to the chamber of deputies the
provisional agreement reached at
Washington. Under this settlement
France was to pay $40, 100000 an
Huall Tor i've years as full current
interest on the consolidated debt of
approximately $4,20O,O00, O00 which
France owes to the United States.
The key to NJ. Callaux's plan to
renovate French finances is the pro-
vision of a sinking fund for both do
nestle and foreign debts. A settle
ment with Washington, it is remark
ed by officials here would be easier
when the financial measures now in
view have been accepted by paria-
ment, but the minister Of finance
is unwilling to delay the renewal of
negotiations with the American gov
eminent until domestic problems are
out of the way.

DIRECTOR SAYS

By JACK JUNGMEYER

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The pres,

That is the flat statement of Da-

must arrive at the movie theater
Just about the time the feature pic

of advertisements, they view the
