CITIZEN GROUPS
TALK DRIVE

Membership in any ane. Of the As
citizens associations in the District
of Columbia is something more
than the mere signing of application
blanks and the enrolment Of new
members, it was pointed out at last
nights meeting of representatives
of the various associations at gen.
eral campaign headquarters.
1t is the fundamentally through
which citizens may obtain neighbor-
hood improvement, said G. Melvin
Sharpe, assistant to the president
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, speaking before
the gathering.
IF the street or sidewalk on the
block in which the prospect lives
is in need of repair, the appeal to
him to join his community associa-
tion should be made on the basis
Of Improvement of that sidewalk or
street." Mr.. Sharpe said.
j. Franklin Bell, Engineer Com
missioner of the District. declared
that through the solidarity of the
various citizen groups that Wash
ington may entertain hopes OF being
the most perfect city in the
world within few years.

general campaign committee and for.
mer head of the federation, follow.
ing the conference with heads of
the associations at last night $
meeting, estimated conserYatively
that the drive thus FAR had netted
at least 10000 new members.

PARIS, Nov. 24.-France may
make a sentimental gesture to the
United States in an attempt to Sc
cure concessions in the debt settle
ment, according to reports current
here today.
The French government, 1t is
stated, may sound out the United
States as to the acceptability of the
Marquis de Chambrun as French
Ambassador to the United States.
The marquis, who is now minis
ter to Greece, is a descendant Of
General Lafayette and it is the
opinion of some French officials that
this might be an advantage in nego-
tiating a settlement.
The Marquis de Chambrun has
served in the French Embassy at

he would harm anyone, but it's hard

Willie is awfulIy generous. Mrs.
Hall used to give him about So a day

was his own money. He hadsquite a
sum left TO him by his mother and
know he was angered when Dr. Hall
was made executor. Whenever he
didn't think he had enough money
from Mrs. Hall he used to ask Mr..
Hall for some and as far as know
he was never refused any amount
he sought.
He'd spend almost every penny OF
it on the children, buying them toys
and candy and almost anything they
wanted. Naturally they We're very
fond of, him although they used to
rag him numerically. the way
dren will. He'd just grin in, that
empty way of his.
Some of the parents didn't like
him much. / remember one case
where for. several days he kept
buying all manner of gifts for q
little girl and when her mother
asked who gave them to her she
said Billy"
No One Ever Harmed
The mother thought she meant
friend of her husbands but
when she learned that it was
Willie Stevens she was dreadfully
alarmed and warned the child never
to 60 near him again.
But no child ever was harmed
by Willie, as. far as anyone ever
knew.
They say Willie had one great
love affair--a young Hungarian
girl. He would go to her house
early in the morning, clean up,
do the errands. and even help cook
the dinner for the family. No
one knows whether Willie ever
told the girl he loved her. The
chances are he never did. When
she died, they say. Willie began
to act queerer than ever.

surprised that the jurors. too. are

testimony Of experts.
Police authorities admit that
there are no two fingerprints alike,
so why should there be so much
hulabaloo about determining whether
or not it is Willie Stevens
fingerprint on the card found near
DR.. Halls body. To me 1t seems
like lot of unnecessary quibbling.
OF course, one of the points of
the Hall-Stevens lawyers is that
this card is not necessarily the
one found near the body. and there
are several ways Willie's finger
prints might have got on this card.
They make a lot of the history of
the card.

think. But it certainly seems

NEW YORK. Oct 1.-THE Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day says:
Stocks experienced the most dras-
tic decline seen since the break of
last March in the two-hours' trading
which closed the week. Many trad
ers who had become alarmed over
the extent of the downward move
ment made haste to throw overheard
their long holdings, while others who
were unable to put up additional
margin had their accounts liquidated
by the firms carrying them.
Cotton Under Pressure
In addition cotton was under pres
sure again and descriptions of trade
conditions by the weekly mercantile
reviews were tinged by the greatest
pessimsm they have expressed in
more than a year. AS a result sell
ing of stocks was pushed with great
urgency and the principal specula-
tive issues suffered further sharp
breaks.

the close when some recovery took
place for weekend short covering.
In view of Colonel Ayres state
ment that if October did not show
good increases over last year it
would indicate that a slow decline
had begun in general business, con-
siderable attention was paid by the
trading fraternity to the assertion
of weekly mercantile reviews that
the gain in industrial activity over
1925 which was so pronounced
during August and September. was
no longer observable.
Bradstreet's said excessive rains
in north Central States and parts OF
the Southwest. and continued low
prices for cotton, were retarding
business in these sections. but a
disposition was noted TO view the
cotton situation more cheerfully.
On Short Side
Taking advantage of Irregular.
ties in business, professionals worked
aggressively on the short side in
early dealings. They were aided by
heavy liquidation of accounts i'm
paired by the further bad break i'm

whole market was extremely weak.
Averages for twenty leading indus
trial stocks declined more than 4
points Friday, and leading issues de-
clined even further after trading was
