 An amusing sidelisht of this interest is seen in . controversy over what constitutes an Ameri. can. The conservative Figaro brought up the question of wheth- CT a citizen of the United States had right to call himself ar American.
 ''Is it not . singular anomaly that the French language. which is SO rich and supple, has no word to designate the inhabitants of the United States?" asks Camille Meillac, who published various French opinions. Thus people of more than no millions, who play a role of the first order in the world and who assured victory to the allies in the last war, are called by an adjective which ap- plies to both the American conti- nents."
 M. Meillac is informed by M Dumont-Wilden. editor of the Revue Bleue. that:

Paris, Nov. S0.-Durins no period since the war has the French read tng public taken such a keen inter- est in American affairs as during the last few weeks.
 Tho dramatic presidential cam paign and the amazing popularity of Mir. Hoover are responsible. Tho public was warned by the press that MT. Hoover would prob ably be elected. but points against MT. Smiths chances, such as his religion as looked upon by . peo- pie largely Catholic. and his posi- tion against prohibition to peo- pie proud of their personal liberty. were generally incomprehensible. They were informed that. with either Hoover or Smith. they could expect no substantial change in policy on the French war debt, and that the election most likely would not affect Americas foreign affairs.
 Interest in Hoover
 But widespread interest grew, and it has prevailed since the cleo ton. The program of the presi- dent-elect is . source of specula- tion because his great European relief work and later as food dic- tator are known and there is won- der about what might be expected of such an executive in the White House. The prosperity issue has been emphasized and Europeans are now asking to what extent American prosperity will continue.

ANYTHING GAN HAPPEN IN BASEBALL

With the St. Louis Browns es- abolished for time at least in the first division of the American League, and the Phillies threaten ing to climb out of the National League cellar, the age of baseball miracles is not past. In advance predictions of the strength of the American League, St. Louis was strongly supported for the eighth place position. The voting was divided between the Browns and the Boston Red Sox. The Red Hose of Boston have not done so well as their brown stoekinged brethren but they are not in the cellar and may not go there.
 Dan Howley, manager of the Browns, is not surprised that hls team has done well. He told visi- tors in his training camp in the spring that if his youngsters came through he would be dangerous Ralph Kress, hs young shortstop, has been a sensation, remaining near the top of the batters, while Otis Brannon has done we'll enough. Lu Blue, Earl McNeely and Harry Manush had won their major league spurs before going to St. Louis. In Fred Sehulte, Howley uncovered the best major league debutante of 1927.
 The skeptics pointed out in the spring that the Browns had no outfield reserve strength and no pitchers. There has been To cry ing need for outfield reserves thus far and the pitchers have done much better than any one thought possible. Sam Gray, cast adrift by the Athletics, has led the St. Louis pitchers, and the position of the Browns in the race may be credited to his strong right. arm more than any other one agency

Carl owen Hubbell of Meeker, Oklahoma. who has just eelebrat
 ed his 18th birthday, is likely Texas League nominee for pre- motion to the majors. Although pitching for the tail-end Beaumont club, he is beating the best the league can offer and seems to be pitcher of great ability. The Detroit Tigers have strings on him and he will be a full-fledged Jungaleer before many baseball moons have passed if he keeps his health and strength. He is not to be confused with Wilbur Hubbell, former Giant and Phillie right handler, now with Minneapolis.

You don't want to be rheumatic and suffer all the rest of your life. Then don't let your blood remain filled with tbk poisons that get into your joints and muscles causing in flammation and terrible torture.
 That's where so many people make a mistake. They take something that deadens pain for a short time hut soon 1t is back worse than ever. because the poisons are still there and until you drive them out you'll never get completely rid of your aches and pains.
 NDple doctor prescription that will do more for you than anything you have ever tried called Rheuma acts directly on the poisons in the blood stream in such way that often one bottle completely drives every bit of poison from the system. And when poisons go pain stops just as suddenly as it started, swelllngs reduce and not a slgn or twinge re- mains to remind you that you ever suffered from the terrible agony of rheumatism.
 Tho Fair Department store and every good druggist sells Rheuma and 1t must completely end all Rheumatism. Seiatica and Gout or you ret your money back.
