BA7HTUB GIRL NOW
 TO SUE CARROLL
Says She's Victim Of Publicity
 Stunt--Jury Starts Probe

New York, Feb 27 OPl-Earl Car. rolls "bathtub party" is now be- fore federal grand jury,
 The theatrical producer appeared before the jury yesterday to explain what actually happened at his party Monday night, attended by Inc Countess Of Cathcart and many we'll known persons at which a nude chorus girl is said to have bathed in wine.
 Carrolrs appearance in the fed oral investigation has raised the question as 10 whether under the law, he now is immune from any charges Of violation of the Nolstcad act as to what was in the bathtub,
 Girl To Sue.
 The girl in published reports of the party, Joyce IIaw!ey, through q lawyer, she had hired to sue Carroll for $l,o00, declares she thought it was going 10 be private party, but that she now believes she was vic- tim Of a publicity stunt She expect d a job in one Of his productions, her lawyer says, but was given s20 by Carroll and told to forget it. The lawyer said he has interviewed Car roll on the matter.
 The Countess Of Cathcart, who eX- poets to return to Ellis Island Tues day, also is protesting that she Is a cictim of publicity. The attempt Of the Motion Picture Thcater Owners of America 10 bar her from films as a publicity made person, she de- scribes as unwarrantcI. "I never thought of going into the films" she says.
 Carroll himself has shown a dis taste for publicity, Yesterday as h. was leaving the federal building looking very nervous after this sos. sion with tho grand jury, nhotog' raphors unanswered to get picture! Of him. Chris Scaitc. a friend inter !cred and after several blows hac been exchanged between him an cameramen retreated into the fed cral building while Carroll disap pcared
 The prospect of immunity iron federal prosecution for Carroll, cvc1 if the bathtuh contained wine in stead Of ginger ale as claimed by th' producer, is based on the fact tha the Nolstead act provides that no person who testifes before q gran. jury in a liquor sale case may b punished. The act also provides tha a witness may not plead his conSri tltional right 10 refuse 10 testify ol the grounds Of discriminating him self
 Police investigation of the incl dent was closed yesterday with an nounccment that no evidence ha' been found to support action in th bathing incident.

HELPS 10 UNDERSTAND

Nothing will do more to promote
the establishment of good inter-
national relations than the scien-
tific teaching of history which helps
us to understand that there are
generally two sides to every question.
There may be persons who object to
this because they say that 1t UNDER
mines the sturdy nationalism OF the
rising generation. To such we may
reply that a sturdy nationalism
which is founded largely on uA
scientific historic teaching. Is found
ed on the sand, and that children
so taught are apt to fly to the other
extreme when they grow up and
realize that their early teaching OF
history was not on really scientinc
lines"
This advice, included In a recent
address by the British Ambassador.
Sir Esme Howard, is good, but just
as applicable to a British as to an
American audience. Intelligent pub
licity apr ears to be the most promis-
ing agency for putting before the
public mind the respective "iew-point
and the World Court should serve to
establish the legal facts about which
there may be differences Of opinion
What with the press and the radio
supplementing fact-finding agencies
it will be the fault of the people
themselves If they do not come into
clearer understanding.

Search in iii. For
Letter of Lincoln

Springfield, ILL.,. Feb. (AP)-
Search is being made in Illinois Lin
coin collections for a letter written
by Lincoln when he was postmaster
at New Salem, Illinois.
Postmaster General New asked the
Illinois Historical Society for the To-
cation of Lincoln collections with a
view to recovering the letter taken
from the post Office archives at
Washington.
In 1886 Lincoln wrote the post
master general and returned rs cents
which he said was the balance due
to the government. Mr.. News letter
to the historical library here told of
elderly attaches of his office who re-
membered the existence of the letter
in the files many years ago. but that
it had disappeared within the last
twenty years.
The library here contains only two
letters written by Lincoln while he
was a resident of New Salem. The
first, which was written to 'Messrs.
Blair and Rives" publishers of an
early journal while he was postmas-
ter, reads as follows:
New Salem, Illinois
November 3, 1885
"Messrs:-Your subscriber at this
place is dead and no person takes the
papers from this Office.
Respectfully
"a Lincoln"
The second, written about the same
time to Len Davis, Esq" said:
Dear Sir:
you will confer a favor on me by
examining the record kept by the old
state recorder and ascertaining
whether a deed for the Northwest
quarter in section % in town. 10,
North range. s west in the county
tract made by William Trent and
Michael McDierman. has ever been
recorded in that Office and If so
whether the record shows that the
land has been transferred by Nc
Dierman and If it has. who is the
present owner under him. Also
please to give me all the Information
in your office in regard to sales OF
said land for taxes and who is the
present owner of the tax title.
every respectfully.
your obedient servant.

NOT so ANXIOUS TO DIsARM

Some two months ago much
solicitude was expressed by our Eu-
ropean friends to have the United
states join a preliminary conference
for disarmament at Geneva. Mem
hers of the League wanted us there.
They were not disposed to await
any conference we might have In
mind, they NmustFhave one of their
own while the spirit of Locarno was
in ascendancy. Thereupon Uncle
Sam got busy. He laid aside plans
of his own. His Congress didn't
exercise it's usual prerogative OF
windy delays. The House without
debate granted money for the ex-
penses of our representatives.
Whether our friends across the
water did not anticipate such
promptness on our part and were
dumbfounded is not learned. but their
haste for the conference is now con-
cealed IL 1t yet exists. Suddenly the
need of haste appears to have de-
parted from their minds. Possibly
they find themselves unready to les
sen their armies right away. Pos
sibly their irons in the fire are not
yet hot. 1t would be interesting to
learn just what has come over the
shirt of their dreams.

A responsibility met and disposed
of becomes a pleasant recollection,
no matter what it's nature.
The modern f1apper recalls the
old adage that Young people should
be seen and not heard"
Being the under dog has this ad-
vantage. He's never accused OF
cheating.
Making both ends meet Is for
some an acrobatic feat that causes
them to break in the middle.
The possession of fortune doesn't
always imply an abundance of tall
eent-very often it indicates lack Of
conscience.
Many cartoonist is probably
Iamenting because he can't draw
balloon trousers as funny as they
are.
The chief difference between your
self and the average hero is that
he was born without a bump of
caution.
An agreeable companion is often
a dangerous associate.
Beware the flatterer. Too often
he's just a down and out individ-
ual paying his way with blarney.

CONFIDENCE IN THE BOYS AND
GIRLS

The principal OF one large school
declares it his experience that the
Jazz age is passing. that the much
criticized boys and girls are doing
little disciplining on their own &C
count, that some of the standards
they adopted in imitation of certain
of their elders have not met with
their approval.
In support of this he cites from
events that have occurred. Notwith-
standing fraternities are forbidden in
that school the rule was broken last
year and one fraternity gave a dance
at which several of the boys became
drunk. Nothing like 1t has &C.
Cured this winter. For the past two
or three years not over IS per cent
passed in a cetain study: this year
90 per cent passed. He notices a
general improvement in the school.
The change has come about
gradually. Many Of the students in
that school desire to go on to higher
institutions. 1t appears the boys and
girls have been thinking matters
over and have concluded that the
jazzing was not getting them any
where. Instead of blaming them fol-
such derelictions as occur he blames
their parents. He has faith in the
boys and girls. Perhaps they need
that sort of thing. What heads OF
other schools have noticed a like
change in the attitude Of theil
pupiIs?

YET PROUD OF HIM

Let's see, what was the name of
that writer chap, who recently set
out to shock the country by telling
It that George Washington swore,
drank and gambled? Anyhow the
Washington monument. as Coolidge
observed, still stands and they are
digging out of the archives data to
prove that the Father of our Country
did not approve Of these vices in
others, TO say the least.
They have found where Washing
ton, then "a years old and in COM
rnand Of the Virginia forces in a
campaign against the French and
Indians. wrote this:
This I am certain of and can cali
my conscience and my orders to wit
ness how much ! have both by
threats and by persuasive means en-
deavored to discountenance gaming,
drinking, swearing and irregularities
of every other kind, while 1 have. on
the other hand, practiced every arti-
flee to inspire laudable emulation
in the officers for the service of their
country and to encourage their
soldiers in the unerring exercise of
their duty"
His attitude was the same when he
was in command during the Revolu-
ton when he positively forbade
gaming and in 1888 he wrote; avoid
gaming. This is vice which is
productive of every possible evil
In the light of all this indubitable
evidence the country should be per-
mitted to go on in the enjoyment OF
its well established conviction that
George Washington was some man:
that had the country been permitted
to choose It's own father 1t could not
have done better.

Just as I finished yesterdays story
was the Little Mousie calling to the
Old Red Rooster? Yes, indeedy. She
wished him to take to the Bunny

fowl, tucking 1T under his wing, and
off he went, around the house and
down Lettuce Avenue to the village,
NV goodness, it was cold. Yes. very

the birds feather ulsters. Gee Will
