ANNOYED BY
 FREE RIDES

TEXARKANA, Ark, Aug. 10.-- After trudging across Texas on the last lap of an 1S,0OO-mile hike, Augusta Flores, 1S-year old Peru vian Boy Scout. finds it almost as difficult to walk on modern highways as through the jungles of South America.
 He is determined to walk all the way from Lima to New York, and therefore he is rather annoy ed as motorists continually ask him to ride. Every day he de- clines preferred lifts, and some- times he has trouble convincing would-be benefactors he wants to walk, for he speaks little English
 While in Texas the Peruvian youth easily obtained food and learned the best way for his slow journey, since he was able to speak in his native tongue with the many Mexican he met But he wondered as he left the border of the Lone Star state, whether he would get along so well where he must rely on his English.
 Flores hopes to reach New Yorl, by Christmas.
 Four companions set out with him from Peru. One was killed in a fall on mountain, another was drowned in a tropical river, a third died from snakebite and the fourth turned back after a severe illness. Flores himseH is in perfect health.

THE ALL-ROUND PEACE TREATY

France proposed that the United States make
treaty with her outawing between the two pro-
vding that all their differences be settled by arbtra
ton and thus making them eternal friends.
This being good American doctrine, our govern
ment met the proposal half way-or more than half
way Instead of making special peace arrangement
with France it suggests many sided treaty, taking in
all the countries willing to in thus outlawing
war on big scale and usherng in general era of
peace.
There two little difficulties Immediately visi-
BILE France and Britain while not rejecting the pro-
posal, and possibly getting ready to accept it, can't
refrain from giving Uncle Sam dig in the ribs. Their
critical attitude is seen most clearly in their press.
The British newspapers have been saying: while
the United States is inviting France join in proposing
to the world treaty renouncing national po-
Icy for the settlement Of international disputes she
is involved in a military campaign in Nicaragua"
The French press is saying that if the United
States wants to join all the powers in settling all in
ternational quarrels by peaceful means, might as
well join the League Of Nations, which was organized
for that purpose and by its Covenant, binds men,
bers to such conduct.

and other distant points. Reams was

absence.
Norma Young of Imperial, who is
an accomplished reader, gave two
clever character selections which
were particularly good. A double
number by Ray johnson, soloist
with Mrs. Omega Connolly at the
piano, was also much enjuyed.
