balls leading comedians, now APP
pearing here at the Earle Theater,

comedians and my Poy Chloe" Engel

Times Boys Club members will be
delighted with Altrock and Schacht.
And this isn't all.
There will be the regular weekly
drill in physical training and some
boxing and other stunts for the boys

All work and no play makes Times
Club boys want to play bit, and
that's what The Washington Times

Flo Henrie stepped up to the Arcadia

their act. Then Norman G. Pyle, of
the Palace Theater, gave 40 tickets
for shows at the Palace and Column

PARIS, Feb. 10.-Horace Dodge,
of Detroit, who was freed early this
week on charges of being involved
in an automobile accident at Bou.
'logRe-Sur-Seine a year ago. stated
today that he understands the
French police intend to reopen the
case and said he intends to stick
here and see it through =
When Dodge was freed of the
charge the French courts accepted
his statement that he was in De
troit at the time of the accident
and charged that the car was
driven by Alton Brody Of New
York. who had been introduced to
the French police as Dodge, the
owner of the car.
Mrs. Dodge, who is now suing her
husband for divorce, and several Of
her friends were in the car at the
time Of the accident.
The re-opening of the case might
involve action against those who
are alleged to have misrepresented
the name of the driver Of the car,
and would probably also involve q
charge against Brody, as the
driver.
Dodge today refused to comment
on the divorce action which his
wife has brought.

Spurred on by the ringing declar-
alton of Speaker Nicholas Long
worth for a strong navy, the ''big
navy" bloc of the House today
prepared to again force the pre-
paredness issue with President
Coolidge.
The opportunity Is expected to
come with a disagreement between
Senate and House conferees on the
three-cruiser amendment to the
$315, 0O0, 900 naval supply bill,
adopted in the Senate over Mr..
Coolidge's protest.
Reverse Expected
Immediately upon the report Of a
disagreement, a motion will be
made in the House to accept the
Senate amendment. Having lost
their cruiser fight in the House by
a small margin. big navy forces
are confident that another test
would reverse the situation.
With Senator Hale (R.) of Maine,
head Of the Senate conferees, hold
ing out for the cruiser amendment,
and Representative French R.) of

When the farm presents its difficulties, 1t
has its other side. The owner of farm is in

which is so demoralizng. He is beyond that
distressing condition which lack Of employment

the smaller and uncertain returns of employment
