The statement of Andre Tardieu,
minister of public works in the
French cabinet, that the unratified
Mellon Berenger debt agreement is
dead, occasioned little surprise in
governmental circls today.
Tardieu, an opponent of the debt
settlements, does not speak Off
cially for the French government,
and consequently his views will
have slight practical effect, Off
Gals declared.
The Coolidge administration, it
was reiterated at the Treasury de-
partment, regards the Mellon. Beren.
ger pact as an irreducible minimum
for funding the $4,OOO,0OO debt. The
Senate will not act on ratification
of the plan until the question has
been disposed Of by the French
parliament. No action is looked
for in France until January at the
earliest.
mo French government will
ever take the responsibility of bind
ing France for So years." Tardieu

POSTOFFICE STILL LEADS
AMONG BOWLING QUINTETS
Knights of Columbus, Trimming
Brotherhood, Now Second

Lutherans, Postoffice, Gortner, Mer-
chants and the Knights of Columbus
were victorious in the majority of the
games of bowling played during the
past week in the League schedule,
Postoffice winning six straight games
and Gortner, Merchants and Knights
of Columbus taking three straights.
By virtue of its win over the Brother
hood on Tuesday night, the Knights of
Columbus team is now in second place
with the Postoffice still in the lead
with a comfortable margin.
Tonight the Merchants will battle
with Gortner, while the Methodists
will meet the Rotary Club.
High individual scores were made in
some instances, but no records were
endangered. Gortner established a
record when the five members of that
team rolled total of 665 pins for one
game.
The losers this week were the Prin-
tiers, Crellin, Brotherhood and Ram
blers.

no poet.
Until he met Sally he had been
able to put all the girls he knew

clever and homely, and those who
were beautiful and dumb.
But Sally fell into no class. "She

He pulled himself together and
asked aloud just why Sally did not
want him to work for the John
Nye Real Estate company"
1t did not take Sally long to tell
him why.
1T wouldn't do" she said with
decision. You and Mile have
been friends for so long that you

not facing Ernest Brooks, but a
tall, handsome woman, with a
cigarette in her fingers.
