if there was to bean accident his

St. John IRVINE
Says U. S. Engineer
Spilled His Dinner
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August est. John
Eryine, Irish dramatist, thus ex-
presses his opinion of American
railroads: II crossed the Atlantic
in a gale that lasted five days and
not a single dish fell off the dining
room table. On my first railway
journey in America the engine
driver was so clumsy that he was
unable to start his train without
throwing my dinner in my lap.
There is not one engine driver
in America who is fit to serve as
an oiler and greaser to a British
engine driver. And that's not an
extravagant boast; it's a plain
statement of fact"

PARIS, August 2s.-To be a
minister, if only for So hours, as
was the case for the late Herriot
ministry, apparently brings its con-
solations when those few hours are
over for some ministers. Andre
Hesse, former minister of public
works, indicated this to newspaper
men who offered their sympathy
as he passed through the lobby.
We'll, / really don't know that
I ought to accept your sympathy"
