MRS. HAAINfOND'S IDEA OF A
 FRENCH NOVEL

According to Evelyn R. Hammond
 When Marie saw Francois coming up de la road in an la carte, drawn by two Handsome d'horses. she gave a little ooh la la cry of l'joy. "Ohh la, la monseer lovaire!" she cried, such amour is in la heart fear twill break!"
 Get into the carte.' said NJ. Francois. I'll take you for a little ride? Wee, wee? Huh? Wee. weep
 Their Tips met in long la kisse that seemed to grow sweetaire and sweetaire as the minutes passed by. Then Marie dumped into la carte.
 "D'gaddappe"" cried M. Francoise to d'horses.
 After driving long d'way out into d'country, Francois suddenly threw his rarmmes around Marie's Pnecke.
 'How d'about magnifique. great bceg hug" he Whispered.
 lime out. Line ont" screamed Marie. Lime out ooh la la carte, mon idiot! Peeg! Au revoir!"
 "Aw shut up!' grinned Francois Who's going to be our garcon d'honneur?"
 "Best mani" repeated Marie You don't mean-Oh, mon ami bon ami! This is so sudden!"
 Their Tips had already met, but this time they became good friends OOH LA LA RE MI "A SOL LA TT DO!

ONLY 387.00Q.Q0Q

All tho New York, New Haven and Hartford owes the government is $s7. 7.ooo.ooo On this it pays per cent interest. amounting to 35,230,- 900 annually.
 Some of these millions will ma ture in a few years and there will be a grand scramble to "refinance'' the situation-which usually is done by issuing more notes to pay off those that come due.
 But what worries the railroad management. at the same time en- listing the sympathiny of many ob- servers. is the payment of per cent interest This is high rate of interest. The railroad management is eager to refund the debt at a lower interest figure. The govern ment gets the money-or got fiat a much lower rate of interest and is soaking the unfortunate railroads who were compelled to seek gov ernmental assistance in their days of trials. It isn't right. Congress agrees it isn't right. But when bill was before the last Congress to reduce the percentage it was lost in the usual jam of defunct legislation.
 The New Haven is in worse con- dition as regards governmental loans than the recently decrepid Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, which went into the hands of receivers and has been successfully reorganized. The St. Paul, or ''the Milwaukee line, 1" as the reorganization bosses prefer to call it. only owes the government 55.o00,000. Its organizers also want the interest rate reduced. Why the government should maintain this high rate, which hits mostly the weak roads. is difficult to fathom. The usual human attribute is to be easy on the unfortunate.
 While on the subject it is apro- pos to refer to the magnificent man. ner in which the Milwaukee line is being revamped. The extensive ad- vertising campaign of this railroad is doing wonders to rehabilitate it in public estimation. The receiver ship and reorganization was ,major operation, but successful. Many New England observers thought the New Haven should have done the same thing at the time 1t was at it's lowest ebb. but the financial powers be- hind 1t preferred the longer haul to- ward prosperity. The New Haven some time or other will get com. pletely back on it's feet, but the Mill waukee line will beat it by many years

NAVAL CONFERENCE
 AT GENEVA

The Naval Arms Conference, which opens in Geneva today, with the United States, Great Britain and Japan as the prime participants, has the confidence of President Coolidge. That isn't saying 1t will be as suc- cessful as the President imagines, but as he initiated the conference, it Is natural perhaps, for him to be optimistic.
 The general run of mankind, how ever, apparently does not share this optimism. The interest and expecta- tons which preceded the opening of the Washington disarmament con- ference in 1921 has been conspicu- ouay lacking.
 Although the, British are said to favor fin principle" the limitation of the size of cruisers and gun caiiber ffrom 10000 to 5000 tons), they intend to oppose any limitation of their number. In this is seen the characteristic tendency of the Brit ish to have sufficient naval vessels to protect her trade routes. The present government is more nation alistic. more jealous of it's prestige, than was the coalition government of 1921. The approach toward disarm- ament is different. This is illustrated in nothing so pointedly as in its re- ported decision to insist upon the maintenance of the Singapore naval base, which Japan opposes. The Macdonald government was on the point of ordering dismantling of the base when it was bereft of power. The Baldwin ministry sees nothing but utter necessity in the construc- tion of this naval outpost near Japan's front door.
 The British, cold as they appear to be toward most of the suggestions listed, are equally frigid toward the plan to limit submarines, although basically they are opposed to the de- velopmentf and wide use of under sea craft. The attitude of Italy and France is 8 guiding factor, and with out the cooperation of these two nations in submarine limitation it is self-evident to all but born optimists that the fruits of the conference on this subject will not change the present outlook.
 The United States remains the most idealistic nation at the Geneva found table. Our delegates may be able to force further limitations on the lines of the Coolidge endeavor, but there is less of an inclination to expect it. Our threat that if the 5-5-3 plan is not extended we will lead in cruiser. destroyer and sub marine construction may give pause to foreign ambitions. If there is to be naval competition we will lead decisively, is the meaning.
 Three conferences at short inter- yals in Geneva is quite record even in these days of conferences galore. The Council of the League of Nations. which concluded it's ses- sion about a week ago. ended with most of it's agenda undone. The studied attempt of Great Britain to align the other powers against Rus sia was frustrated by Poland. curi- ously enough. which deemed such action dangerous. Sir Austen Cham berlain's failure to have the Council meet three times d year instead of four was ! victory for the principles
