AUTOS ASKED
FOR VETS
Time for Contributions to
Decoration Fund Grows
Short-Cash Needed

Watson B. Miller, Of the American
Legion. is appealing to automobile
owners for use Of their machines to
carry disabled soldiers to Arlington
Cemetery on Memorial Day.
More than 100 old veterans OF the
civil and Indian wars now at SOL
diers Home have expressed desire
to witness the ceremonies in hono5'
of their departed comrades.
This will doubtless be the last
May 80 for many OF them and Mr..

transportation.
Those wishing to donate thei-
cars can send word to Mr.. Miller at
room All, Bond building, or tele-
phone to Main 1888.

TIVOLI-
Buster KeatOn

: Buster Keaton is the pictured
star at Crandall's Tivon Theater
for today in Metro-Goldwyn's
amusing camera version Of the
famous Belasco stage success.
"Seven Chances" by Roi Cooper
Megrue. In this subject the
comedian who never learned to
laugh appears in the role of a
Young man bent on achieving
quick matrimony. Some Of the
seven chances are grotesquely
hilarious in their relation to the
denouement which the harrassed
young man is attempting to
achieve. The supporting cast
includes more than one feminine
beauty and there are also some
assistant funmakers who are not
to be sneezed at, unless you have
to sneeze to laugh.
The added comedy attraction is
Mack Sennett's two-reel comedy
thriller, THE Lions Whiskers.
In this subject, the star is really
the lion that sits on the train
of Madeline HurIock's evening
gown and snarls.
Another interesting bit Of
screen diversion is afforded by g.
new issue Of the Pathe Review.

PARIS PACT NOW
IS WORRYING
KELLOGG
Belgium Reported to Contend
Terms Cover Payment of
Her War Debt Here
By LLOYD A. LEHRBAs.

The much-discussed Paris agree
ment, signed on behalf of the
United States by Secretary OF State
Kellogg, then ambassador to Great
Britain, is back again, haunting
the State Department.
Despite the repeatedly reiterated
assertion by Secretary Of State
Hughes and the then Ambassador
Kellogg. that the Paris agreement
in no way linked the United States
with enforced payments Of re-
parations, through the machinery
of the Dawes plan, Washington has
been unofficially informed that
Belgium is preparing a note, using
that agreement as an excuse for
not making direct payments on
loans made from the United States.
The Belgian contention. which, it
is learned, will be plainly set forth,
Is now being prepared is that article
OF the Paris agreement which
was a plan for the distribution OF
the proceeds of Dawes plan coIlec-
tions Of German reparations pro-
ing met out Of such reparations
payments.
Comment Here Refused.
State Department officials de-
clined to comment on the latest
angle the debt situation has taken,
but a strong intimation has been
given in administration circles that
the United States will refuse to ac-
cept Belgian Interpretation of the
disputed article and will not accept
German reparations bonds in pay.
ment of the Belgian debt.
The American position from the
beginning has been a refusal TO
link war debts with reparations
payments in any way and 1t is not
believed that Secretary Kellogg will
recede from that position.
Acceptance Of the Belgian view
point would Immediately throw the
United States into the cauldron of
further discussions as France, Italy
and other European nations would
unquestionably attempt to have
their obligations to the United
States placed on the same basis.

Commercial fishing is not a very
sporting proposition and the unfortu-
nate fish does not get much Of a
chance. Inveigling fish onto a hook
has been the accepted means of catch
ing him since the Stone age. Catch
ing him in net is a method of quite
respectable antiquity Now Americans
are using pump and sucking him In.
A tube running fore and aft empting
into tank, and an eight-inch motor
driven centrifugal pump at the for
ward end sucks in about fourteen tons
Of fish and water minute. This goes
into tank which catches the fish and
allows the water to run off. The
method is simple, and extraordinarily
efficient, for if the boat passes through
shoal of fish more than two tons Of
fish minute may be trapped In the
tank.--Family Herald.

Elephant Noted for
Keen Sense of Smell

What the elephant lacks In vision
Is more than compensated for by the
animals keen sense Of smell. His
trunk is probably the best smelling
apparatus in the world. and he de-
ponds first Of all on his sense Of smell.
When he is at all suspicious he
moves his trunk round In every d.
rection. so that. the slightest faint in
the air will reach him. In many other
ways the elephants trunk Is the most
extraordinary part Of that most ex-
traordinary animal, the Providence
Journal says.
1t Is entirely flexible at every point
and 1t can turn In any direction and
has tremendous strength. There IL
no bone In 1t, but 1t Is constructed Of
interviewer muscles and sinew so
tough that you can scarcely cut it
with a knife.
From 1t an elephant can shoot q
stream Of water that will put out a
fire. and with 1t he can lift a tree
trunk weighing ton or pull deli
cate blade of grass He drinks with
1t, feeds himself with it, smells with
It works with it and fights with 1t.

The Wish

President Will Hays of the Motion
Picture Producers has flabbergasted
the playwrights and novelists by rul-
ing that plays and novels Of immoral
tendencies must not be filmed.
ut is deplorable to see how many
plays and novels are immoral now
adays," said President Hays in Los
Angeles interview. "Novelists and
playwrights claim that they depict
immoral scenes with moral end in
view. but always come back at them
with the st. Anthony story.
"A man had just returned from a
summer vacation in Europe, and an
art critic said to him:
"'On your European trip what did
you think of that gorgeous painting in
the Uffizi of ''The Temptation of st.
Anthony?"'
'The returned traveller smiled
broadly.
Gee he said, when l saw that
picture l wished, for the first time In
my life, that was a saint"

Title He CaUe Himself
Stuck to Greet Shotvrmaa

Probably the greatest Snowman the
world has ever known was Sanger,
famous for Sanger's circus. He even
went so far as to give himself . title.
and the title stuck so firmly that
many people thought he really had
been elevated to the peeragei Every
one knew him as LORD George
Sanger.
In his book, Studio and Stage Mr..
Joseph Harker. the famous scene
painter, tells how this title" came
about. 1t was the outcome Of. deal
In horses with William Cody, other
wise known as Buffalo Bill. Accord.
ing to Sanger, Cody thought himself
by far the more important Snowman.
In the course Of the preliminaries to
the deal. Bill sent a representative to
Sanger with a message to the effect
that 1.-THE Honorable william r. Cody
refused to TAXI penny less than 80
much for the Aorses.
Sanger. who had the gift Of giving
neat replies, and who also was not
going to be 0utdone, without more
ado sent back this terse message:
IF you are the Hon. w. F. Cody.
then. hang It, I'm Lord George Sanger
land I won't give a ha'penny more
than stipulated for the horses"
And from that day ON "Lord'
George Sanger he remained.

Hasty Marriage Undone

The marriage fever of the postwar
period in Vienna is now followed by a
divorce fever. Many couples married
rashly and inconsiderately, without
having apartments of their own. the
husband and wife having to live sep
arately with their respective families
There were also too many boy and
girl marriages. The fact is that in the
course of last year until October 81
about 1850 divorce cases have kept
the courts exceptionally busy. sIn
these years some husbands have
changed their wives even three times.
